The mem¬ bers of the board give their time and energy to the problem of maintaining up-to-date hous¬ ing and equipment for the growing school pop¬ ulation. These people are responsible for the building of new schools and the improving of old ones. They must keep the methods of teaching up to date and they ore also respon¬ sible for the hiring of the teacher and personnel that are needed to keep the schools function¬ ing successfully. Besides keeping the machinery of the schools running smoothly, preparing budgets, making salary schedules, and investigating special problems, the Board attends bi¬ monthly business meetings and many special conferences. As a whole, being a member of the board is one of the most time consuming jobs a citi¬ zen can hold. A miuiBtratnrH The superintendent of the Gary school system is appointed by the Board of Education. He is charged with the duties of carrying out the orders of the board. These include providing qualified teachers and school personnel and exercising educational leadership. He and his assistant are responsible for the gen¬ eral supervision of all the city ' s schools. Further¬ more, he must keep the board as well as the genera l public informed concerning school achievements and school problms. Dr. Alden H. Blankenship, superintendent; Vincent C. Dipasquole, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent PAUL CARLSON Principal of Horace Mann PALMER MART Assistant Principal of Horace Mann Good schools don ' t just happen. The devoted effort and wise leadership of Mr. Carlson and Mr. Mart are in a large measure responsible for the high academic standards, fine student attitudes, and excellent student-faculty cooperation which ex¬ ist at Horace Mann.

You ' re late for a very im¬ portant date! cried the Mad-Hatter. Me? answered Alice, extremely surprised. I ' m not going — You are to interview me. Now! But — do I know you, Sir? Interview! Silly child, interview! You ask me ques¬ tions about me. But, what will I do with the answers? Get busy at once. We go to press in no time. They must be printed in the Mann-U-Script . What ' s the Mon-U-Script ? It ' s the newspaper for Horace Mann. Don ' t you un¬ derstand? Our reporters each hove a beat in school. Beat is, of course, the area of news each reports in — keeps them going round and round. Well, but, sir, how do I print them? I ' ve never — First you type the story using the five W ' s and H. But how oan I use five W ' s and H? Miss, they are the facts of any story — Who, Why, When, Where, and What and How. That ' s how any good reporter tells his story. Oh, do you print it, then? No! The story goes to the copyreader. Are they like copy books? We hove these for lessons. My, you are a stupid child. Copyreaders check the story for errors. Then do you get to print it? Nooooooooo! The story goes to the page editor, who makes sure it ' s the right length and has all the facts. After that heads are assigned. How cruel! Whose heads do you use? “Not heads, but heads. Titles. Next a dummy is printed up. This is just like a foreign language. A dummy is a rough draft of the story. Any¬ way, the editor-in-chief checks the dummy. THEN, you get to print the paper. My, that ' s on awful lot of work. That isn ' t all. After the paper is printed, the exchange-editor mails it out to other schools, and the business manager pays for it, having found the money, somehow. Of course, it ' s distribute d throughout the kingdom. Subscriptions and the Talent Parade help pay for the paper, understand? I think so. Oh, I heard music. Is that coming from the presses? No, that ' s the garden of notes. Now, where are you going? Over there, of course.

Alice looked around her, but could find no one. Finally she ventured to ask, Who scrid that? We did, chimed in the notes. Why surely you knew notes could talk? No, whispered Alice in a timid voice. Can all notes talk? My goodness, sang a short little eighth note, the notes in this part of the garden are grown for the Horace Mann Bond, and we ' re expected to do a great many things besides talk.

This colorful marching unit, under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Resur is famed wherever it goes. Its services are in great de¬ mand and it has won trophy after trophy. A fat, lazy looking whole note, afraid he ' d miss his turn, added, To be a bona-fide note for the Horace Mann Band, one must have a good ear for music and be able to blend well with other notes. He must also be willing to serve anywhere the bond might take him. Yes, declared a well-proportioned quarter note, A band note might find his use in an overture for an Annual Bond Extravaganza, a march for a parade, or, if he ' s lucky, he might be used in Horace Mann Loyalty at a football gome or pep meeting. Every member of this organization is proud to be a part, the whole boquet sang in unison. It takes a lot of work and sacrifice from our directors and a lot of co¬ operation from each individual to turn out excellence in every performance, but we believe the thrill we place in the hearts of those who see us, and the gratitude we place in the eyes of our friends brings rewards worthy of every effort we have put forth. That ' s the spirit of the Horace Mann Band. Just look at the list of events in which notes were used this year.

The delicate music of a violin, the smooth, mel¬ low tones of a cello, and the deep voiced notes of a bass filled the air. That, said the nearest fiddle flower, who just hap¬ pened to be listening, is the string section of the Horace Mann Orchestra, practicing for its next appearance. Where does the orchestra march? inquired Alice, thinking she at last could ask a very intelligent question. Oh, my, how amusing you are, laughed a group of bold little running notes. Orchestras don ' t march; they give concerts. Oh, said Alice, rather embarrassed. I see. Yes, returned the fiddle flower, Orchestra keeps the notes in this end of the garden busy with playing for events like the Junior Honor Society Induction, the or¬ chestra ' s first appearance this year. Don ' t forget to tell her about our spring concert, volunteered a freshly played quarter note. What was it like? asked Alice. Oh, it was simply wonderful! exclaimed the fiddle flower. This year the concert featured a string quartet and a solo by conductor James H. Huffman. Oh, yes, something new was added, too. The beginner and inter¬ mediate orchestras of Horace Mann also performed at the concert. Why, Alice, you still look bewildered. Can ' t we help? Where are the rest of your notes? returned Alice. They must be somewhere in the garden, but I can ' t see them. Well, laughed the fiddle flower, They ' ve got to sleep sometime, you know. They just returned from three concerts for the neighboring grade schools — Vohr, Am- bridge, and Chose, and their stems are weakened from all that running around. We don ' t mind, though, a little note who had been sleeping behind a rock was quick to add. The concerts are given to stimulate musical interest in grade school students who will be coming to Horace Mann within the next few years. Those concerts, besides being a lot of work, are also fun. Is this all you notes have to do this year? queried Alice. Our next event, the lost of the school year, will be a celebration, answered a whole note, who looked bald because he didn ' t hove a stem. We ' re all waiting for our spring banquet, when the orchestra will get together to forget about work and just feast and have a good time. You have forgotten two very important things, ex¬ claimed a note who had been awakened at the begin¬ ning of the conversation. This year the orchestra formed a Parent ' s Club for those who wish to help the orchestra ' s morale as well as to give financial aid. I know what the second new addition is, squeaked a sharp note. The orchestra has summer school now for beginners as well as intermediate and advanced musicians. Shh! Here comes the conductor. We must hurry and get in tune.

Here we meet the famous Horace Mann Choral Club in the Garden of Notes. Every day at 10:20 the entire kingdom can hear the beautiful music of the live flowers as they practice, preparing their various programs. The Lily Sopranos, Daisy Bcses, Tiger-Lily Tenors, and Orchard Altos are busy as con be. A concert, Choralrama VI, given for the King and Queen of Hearts and their subjects, was the first public performance of the Club. In October the club installed new members and club officers at a potluck supper. But the real program consisted of a short concert by Marvin Friedman. Of course, the members had a good time singing, too. The flowers practically froze their petals off when they went caroling through the streets of Mannland at Christ¬ mas time. The group also gave a special Christmas con¬ cert at school and furnished music for the Pageant. Then came Who ' s Who Banquet for all the dignitaries of Mann¬ land. The chorus was invited to give a program of songs. Later, the group also entertained for Kiwanis Club. Following a concert of Church Music at Easter time, the group of musical flowers spent all their time practic¬ ing for the Music Festival and the Operetta, Babes In Toylond. They portrayed such famous characters as Bo Peep, Little Miss Muffet, Red Riding Hood, and Tom¬ my Tucker. And the proceeds from this venture paid for their beautiful new red silk robes. The production pleased the Mannland audience. The final feast of the flowers in May was a gala fare¬ well for the seniors and provided a diversion between the operetta and the year ' s grand finale. The Daisies, Tiger Lillies and Orchids needed to be fresh and rested for their series of year end programs. Both choral and solo num¬ bers were presented during the graduation festivities for the class of 1962 — on Recognition Day, Baccalaureate, and for Graduation itself. A newly crowned Rose Queen, Mary Clark, took over the direction of the Club this year, and worked hard with the Club to help produce such good work.

I AM ALICE! My dear child, if you are ever going to get through Mannland you will have to speak more clearly, was the remark from the caterpillar. What ' s wrong with the way I talk. It sounds O.K. to me. I ' ve been talking this way all my life. My, my, you will have to follow my smoke letters and hove the members of Speech Club teach you how to speak distinctly. What do the members of Speech Club do that they excel in speaking? They have become experts in giving choral speaking recitals and — What is choral speaking? Do the members sing and talk at the same time? No, no, choral speaking means a group speaking in unison with blended voices! Who would want to listen to choral speaking? What do you mean, who wants to hear choral speak¬ ing? The members have been invited to entertain many groups such as, the Kiwonis Club, The Horace Mann P.T.A. and the Gory Women ' s Club, Civic Department. You aren ' t very well informed. I hope they didn ' t recite silly poems like the one the Mad Hatter said at his tea party. No, their readings were on a more adult level. Poems pertaining to the growth of our nation were given, America ' s Will to Work, and A World United? Alice was about to ask if that was all the work Speech Club did, but the caterpillar interrupted her and said, The club produced the Christmas Pageant. Later the members made scenery and worked in the Sophomore Play, Curtain Going Up. My they are busy! exclaimed Alice. Before you interrupted me, I was about to say they also put on this year ' s Talent Parade. Naturally each year the club must work out a new theme. Seems as if the group couldn ' t make up its mind. It combined T.V., Circus, and variety show into one. The Masters of Cere¬ monies were; Tom Krasne, Tom Smith, Art Angotti, and Charles Finley. All the groups here seem to have parties. Did you go to any? No, but they have been arranged by social commit¬ tee. They have a party at least twice each year. Mrs. Mooney let the members come to her home for a Hallo¬ ween party and a Speech Club reunion was held at Linda Arellano ' s home during the Christmas holidays. With all the activities the members must hove had dedicated leaders, observed Alice. When are they selected? Why that ' s simple. At the annual banquet held at the Tri-City Lighthouse. This year ' s officers were re¬ warded for their fine work and the new officers were installed. “You mean that the banquet is the final activity of the year? Oh no. Speech Club participates in the graduation exercises. What is an American, Anyway? was chosen to fit in with the commencement theme this year. Those people worked on it all year. It takes hours of practice to give a short choral reading. Now run along. I just get off this mushroom and find something to eat, ejaculated the caterpillar as he crawled away. But I ' ll be back!

You are right here. I suppose you ' d like to try that again, but it takes more than mere¬ ly reciting one weak monologue to qualify. I ' m really not trying to qualify for anything, ex¬ plained Alice. ' Humph, I doubt if you couldl If you are not trying out, then you are just wasting my limited time, grumbled the caterpillar. ' |Oh, this is all a mistake. Please let me explain . . . There ' s nothing to explain, he bellowed, exhaling his smoky vowels. Very well then, you explain. What is Dramatic Club, who is in it, whose club it is, what do they do, where do they meet — Stop, stop, you ' re wasting precious time. Hora(� Mann Thespians, composing the member¬ ship of this club, meet at 11:20 every day in the Horace Mann auditorium. Guided by their director, producer, teacher. Miss Mary Gorrell, they begin in September with on exhausting schedule. First on the agenda is the Junior Play. This year ' s performance. Charm School, was immediately followed by Scrooge, a ploy tradition¬ ally presented at Christmas by the club for over seven¬ teen years. Then, after the new year, the senior Thes¬ pians are given the opportunity to exhibit their talents in the Senior Play. This year ' s presentation was Shaw ' s Pygmalion, Romeo and Juliet, a famous Shakespearian play and Antigonie, a brilliant Greek drama by Sopho¬ cles, ended the club ' s drama season. Some club members further increased their dramatic knowledge by attending two professional plays in Chi¬ cago, The Sound of Music, and Romeo and Juliet. At the Thespian banquet. May first, the juniors and seniors were honored for their outstanding achievements.

If you don,t you are certainly in a sorry state. Now go ploy somewhere. She stood on her toes, craining her neck to say good¬ bye to the strange creature. But all that remained atop the great mushroom were a pair of turkish slippers and a hookah.

Three o ' clock, oh no 1 exclaims the caterpillar. We shall never make it t the debate in five minutes. Deba -? begins Alice. We have no time for questions now, or we shall be late. With that, the creature takes Alice ' s hand, closes his eyes, and says, Horace Mann Debate Club sponsored by by Mr. Lee Good man, three times. The next moment the two are in the Horace Mann au¬ ditorium, listening to the first affirmative speaker say, Resolved that the Federal Government should equalize educational opportunities by means of grants to the states for public elementary and secondary schools. What is this? asks Alice inquisitively. You mean you have not been informed about Hor¬ ace Mann ' s debate club? replies the astonished cater¬ pillar. Well, listen. The group is divided into two sections, actual debate or argument-and speech work, which consists of dramat¬ ic, humorous, and oratorical declamation, original ora¬ tory, poetry, and extemporaneous speaking. I ' ll take your word for it, but must you use such big ones? Don ' t interrupt; that ' s very rude. Now then, the team has participated in Calumet Area, Indiana, and National Forensic tournaments and has visited such places as Purdue University, University of Illinois, and Navy Pier. Really, says Alice, beginning to become enthusias¬ tic. Do they ever win anything? Of course they do. Robert Parker in the House of Representatives and Gory Pollack in the Senate won sec¬ ond place in Thorton Fractional North ' s Congress on No¬ vember 14, 1961. On the same day at Howe Military Academy, Rick Young was chosen as the fifth best boys ' extemp speaker. Next, at the IHSFA sectional finals, held on March 6, 1962, Barbara Mailath placed seventh! in the Girls ' Extemporaneous section, while in the discussion division Rae Hague and Rick Rothchild came in third and fifth, respectively. After the March 3, 1962 debate at Andrean High School, the H.M. team returned home with the second place trophy. Twenty-two schools participated. My goodness, cries Alice, quite impressed by now. Community relations projects are also prevalent where the debaters are concerned, continues her ac- companient. For example, affirmative Marille Fendel- man and Richard Rothchild opposed negative Gail Levin and Cary Pollack for the benefit of the Gary Exchange Club. Furthermore, two programs were presented to the student body in the auditorium on February 14, 1962. Don ' t they ever have time for any fun? Well, the end-of-the-yeor banquet they held at Phil Schmidt ' s on May 2, 1962 was no practice speech meet. The members of the club, however, do enjoy their work. Sssh, says Alice. Don ' t talk so much. I want to hear the debaters.

Approaching nearer, she noticed a sign “Caution, Danger. Don ' t be afraid, they ' re serpents, too cackled a voice above her head. I ' m not a serpent, objected Alice. You eat eggs, don ' t you replied the fat grey pigeon. Go on, see what ' s there. Just then a boy dashed past Alice and flung open the door. As she followed him into a vast, born-like room, she saw masked boys flourishing long rapiers. At it again, cooed the pigeon, three nights a week they come in and out. What are you doing, questioned Alice of a boy who seemed to be writing in a large record book. Checking over our record, courteously answered the youth. I don ' t know how you got here! Girls are always wanting to join our Fencing Club. Alice subsided into silence, hoping he wouldn ' t send her away. Contentedly she watched the boys; some seemed to be doing exercises, practicing singling or in pair. An instructor went around from group to group with suggestions. All was quiet except for the clash of weapons and on occasional Got you then! Does one win or lose — is this like a gome, inquired Alice. Do you always fence here, like this? Goodness, no, replied the young man. We hove meets. This year we went twice to Culver, once to Notre Dame, and then entered a meet at th South Side Com¬ munity Center in Chicago. One group of the younger boys also entered the meet held by the American Fenc¬ ing League of America. All but one made semi-finals there. In the other meets we didn ' t carry away too many laurels! Are these boys in a meet, now? asked Alice point¬ ing to several couples who seemed very earnest about their bouts. No, but we did have some competition in our own group, a regular meet. Bill Hoover won in Rapier and Saber and Dave Clark in Eppe. Caw, caw, objected the pigeon. Here comes the crowd, I can ' t abide, and off it flew just above the heads of a group of boys carrying rifles. Well, watch out for the range, cautioned her friend, as he picked up his book and left her. These boys really shoot! Don ' t worry, little girl, our three sponsors are very strict. No one ever gets hurt at Rifle Club practice. Oh me, cried Alice to herself. Now here ' s another club. I never knew there could be so many groups. This school is full of them. Where do you go to school little girl inquired a tall boy. Me — oh, I just do lessons with a governess. I ' ve never been inside a big school before. It ' s very nice, answered Alice primly. HM — no school. Well, this isn ' t school; you see we come after school. See those boys in the comer? ' They are learning to clean their rifles, take them apart, put them together, and load properly. Target practice, shouted the boy in Alice ' s ear. Four boys were shooting at tar¬ gets; four looking on. Are there only four shooting members? Oh no, but we only have four twenty-two ' s and four targets. We work in groups of eight. Part of our ammunition is given us by the na¬ tional association. Do you have contests? No, our aim is to improve ourselves and leom to handle firearms. In the future the club may expand its program. Well, I ' m up for tar¬ get work now. Goodbye! , and the boy hur¬ ried to join the group at the end of the room. Alice decided she had heard enough noise and went in search of new adventures.

It was opened by another foot¬ man in livery, with a round face and large eyes like a frog. The Fish-Footman began by producing with a flour¬ ish, a great letter, and this he handed over to the other, saying in a solemn tone. The Queen requests the pres¬ ence of the Duchess at the Royal Premier Showing of the films of Her Highness ' ballet recital. Said the Frog-Footmon in a confidential manner, The Duchess ' pride was rather badly hurt lost week. She attempted to aid the Queen unwind the film from the chandelier and became so entangled herself, that we had to carry her home, wrapped like a mummy in the film. Risking the loss of her head, the Duchess has ordered me to refuse further invitations to Royal Premier Showings. I assure you, Frog, this affair will be properly attend¬ ed to. We have engaged the Monnlond Projection Club, the most prompt, the most competent, the most reliable young men available. When called upon, they are quick to offer their services, give up their study periods and lunch hours, showing slides and movies, repairing topes and equipment. In fact. Frog, every single student in this school benefits from their services. Day after day over all the kingdom, the boys show movies for class after class, and they keep things going in the language labs. She need have no fear. I shall relate your message to the Duchess. The young men sound worthy of your praise, replied the Frog. Then they both bowed low, and their curls got entan¬ gled together, causing them great alarm and much anguish. Alice laughed so much at this, that she had to run back into the woods. When she next peered out, the Fish-Footman was gone, and the other was sitting on the ground near the door, staring stupidly up into the sky. Timiiy Alice approached him and asked where the Fish- Footman had gone. The frog answered in a most blase manner, The fish has gone back to the Queen, of course. I noticed, continued Alice, although annoyed by the frog ' s rude tone, Several young men stationed on the roads around the school. They are outstanding in my mind, for they were distinguished by their white belts. Are they guards? The frog, appearing to be in meditation, ignored her questions. But Alice, slightly provoked, continued her demand for an answer. Finally he replied, saying that they were Mannlond ' s Patrol Boys. The Patrol Boys, you queer creature, guard the roads around the school. They are very good at it, and the school ' s safety record is one of the best in the kingdom. Coach Hobbs, the Patrol Boys ' sponsor, believes that more mature boys make for a better patrol; therefore, Horace Mann is the only school in the state that has high school CO-OP CLUB Bottom Row: Jennie Goings, Eileen Sullivan, Mary Daravanis, Louise Grif¬ fith 2nd Row: Janet Ronic, Anna Hanasivillos, Raymond Carrasco, Arlene Smith, Alvina McLourin 3rd Row: Ellen Brown, Lin¬ da Zapp, Shirley Hittspn, Cheryl Soder 5th Row: Paul Goyda, Ter¬ ry Hegie boys in the patrol, answered the frog. This, cried Alice, is a very impressive record. How do they learn such effective safety rules? The footman retorted, his eyes buldging, Speakers come from the Chicago Motor Club and the Gory Police and attend their meetings and instruct the boys in traffic safety. You appear almost intelligent, he continued, ' but you ask too many stupid questions. But how am I to find out, if I don ' t inquire? said Alice trying to control her temper. Children should be seen and not heard. Goodness knows, you ' ve said enough for a dozen — but then you are quite a large child, this the frog terminated by a vulgar yawn. 1 say, did you happen to see any young ladies crossing with those Patrol Boys? Because the Duchess is having a Spring Ball, she phoned Mr. Harde, advisor and sponsor of the Co-ops, and requested that he send all available girls over to fill her party-planning staff. Now I suppose you want to know exactly who these Co-ops are and where they ' re from, so I ' ll save you the trouble of asking. The Co-ops go to school part of the day — then they work in stores, banks, offices for half a day. They are under supervision of a teacher while working, too. On-the-job training you know. Hove you seen them? he demanded. Nol screamed Alice who was at her wit ' s end. No, I didn ' t, you rude creature! She turned her back on him and went defiantly up to the door and knocked. There ' s no use in knocking, said the footman, and that ' s for two reasons. First, because I ' m on the some side of the door as you are; secondly, because, if you dare enter that house you will surely receive a most hair-raising experience. I ' ve merely come to meet the Duchess. Well, you simply can ' t go in, and that ' s that! stated the frog emphatically, The Mannlcmd Electron Club is installing wiring for sound cmd lights for the Duchess ' Ball. You ' d only be in their wcry, bothering them, and asking stupid questions. They have little time to waste. The Duchess was fortunate in obtaining their services, for their skills are in demand at their school, and I ' m sure she wouldn ' t approve of your hampering their ef¬ forts. Besides, their equipment is scattered all over the floor, cmd you might step on a live wire and kill it, then what would they have to work with? How ridiculous! And with that she knelt in order to look into the keyhole. Seeing a completely dark ream, she turned to question the frog, but he had vemished, cmd there she stood, alone on the st eps of the empty memsion.

They look interesting? May I follow them? inquires Alice. They show the ways to the wonders of many lands, explains the rabbit. But why are they facing in different directions? Because, thoughtless child, two countries can not sit on top of each other like layers of a cake. Do you understand? Well — I think so, but what is that funny looking word? Which one, they all look strange to me. That one, PYCCKUU Now let me see; that ' s the land of Russian Club. Is that place like a book club, where ladies sit around and talk over tea about the missinb member? Nol It is a country in Wonderland. But clubs aren ' t countries. If you would only realize that you ' re in Wonderland, where everything is different— Oh. Then is Russian Club a new land? Now you are being smart. Miss, that ' s right. Russian club was just founded in September of this year. Was it founded on a rock like Plymouth? No It was founded on a constitution. Well, I guess it ' s right if you say so, but, still, I think it should have been founded on a rock. It ' s more romantic that way. Oh well, what do the people do? They are not pjeople; they ' re called members. Now, about their social events. The first thing they did was to go to St. Mary Russian Orthodox Church. What happened? If you would stop interupting me like a chiming clock, I might tell you. I ' m sorry. Sir, please go on. Alright but only if you promise to be as quiet as a door knob. The club attended a church service that was given in Russian. Could they understand what was said? That ' s beside the point. What else did the people—I mean members—do? They learned to do some Russian folk dances. But, how can they do folk dances when they ' re members and not people. Stop asking such unreasonable questions. A folk dance con be done by any one who has the courage to combine the twist, the mash potatoes, and the polka. Watch. Oh, dear me, please get up. Sir. Did you hurt yourself? N—o, I—don ' t think so. Let me see—ears—tail— paws—all ' s here, 1 guess. Now, where was I—oh, yes— I was talking to you about Russian club activities. If you don ' t feel well— No, no, I feel alright. At Easter time Father Rozdelst of St. Mary ' s explained to the group about the rituals of the Easter Service. Is that the Russian religion. How interesting. Did the club do anything else? No. It ran out of time like a dead clock. But come and we shall see what is happening in German Club. Alice in Jnreigu aerritnrg Now Alice, this is the road to the land of the German Club,” replied the rabbit. Oh, are they members instead of people too. Is it just like Russian Club? Nol Aren ' t different countries different? German Club is composed of students and a sponsor who are in¬ terested in the German language. Does everyone speak German? Do they have les¬ sons all the time? No, sometimes they plan projects, to earn money. Please, sir, would you explain how learning ( rmon and making money are related? They just don ' t seem connected to me. They might, if you would stop wagging your tongue like a friendly puppy and listen. As I was saying, the Club members went to Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. Naturally they needed money to finance the trip — understand? I believe so. But why did they go to the Museum. I thought Museums were full of old stuffed animals and dead mummies. This museum shows how various countries celebrate Christmas. The club attended the German Christmas pageant. Oh, I like Christmas — it ' s holidays, you see! So do I, but STOP interrupting me. The club threw a swing-ing record hop in December to raise money. But why more money? They bought some German Storybooks. Well, after the club purchased the storybooks, the members decided that these tales were so good that they would need some new books. What did they do then? They had a book sale — before you ask, a book sale is where the club members donate books and then sell them. Oh! Then they buy the story books. Yes, and with the money they had left over they bought some tapes for Operation Stethoscope. Forgive me for asking so many questions but what is Operation St . . ? Operation Stethoscope! It is what the German stu¬ dents call the tapes they buy and use. These topes are recorded by an American social worker living in Ger¬ many. From these tapes, which are really interviews with real Germana people, the students get a better idea of what Germany and the German pjeaple are like. Is that all the club did? No, the German Club members concluded a busy year with their annual banquet, I almost forgot to tell you that several of the third year German students may get to visit Germany. “Well, I don ' t quite . . . Eight students ranked high enough on a standard¬ ized test to qualify for the trip. These students went for an interview and if everything turns out right, some of them will visit Germany during the summer. I wish them the best of luck. So does all Mannlond. k members attend in full costume, and enjoy the feast and festivities in the old Roman rnonner. Do you mean like on Holloween? Well, not exactly. They wear the tradition¬ al toga and stola—the native costume of the ancient Romans, and a prize is av arded to the two best Romans. This years winners were Gus Harmon and Kristi Richardson, who also got to represent Mann in the City-wide Con- AUrp 0n a rrUnrif ference. A conference? Well, of course I didn ' t attend, but I understand HM What does Scrtuma mean? inquired Alice. No, my dear, not Saturna, it ' s Saturnalia and it ' s the biggest affair of the S.P.Q.R., replied the Rabbitt. S.P.Q.R.? Latin, my dear! It is a dead language. It is not in use, but it is the basis of all the modem languages of today. Oh, I see. How can you become a member of this dead club? To become a member, a first year student must be auctioned off as a slave. A slave, how cruel! Do they have masters? Yes, oh yes, this year ' s slaves were auctioned off on November 13th, by Karen Shimko and Gory Spiker at the first general meeting of the year. What must the slaves do? During initiation week, a slave must do everything his or her master asks of him, until the end of the week, then the slave receives freedom papers and becomes a member. On December 6, the Saturnalia is held. All was very active. This City-wide conference was held at Lew Wallace on February 17. ' The theme was The Song of the Zodiac; and Horace Mann ' s Marsha Shoenfelt, Karen Shimko, Tim Rae, Marianne Stanford and Bob Rosebery each led a discussion group. Did they play games there? Well, not exactly, but they did hove entertainment. The HM freshmen presented a skit called Horatii Vori Inter Ad Lumen Facnuit. I haven ' t got that for in lessons yet. What does it mean? Horatio travels to the moon. Do you have to be smart to join Latin Club? Not really, but at Mann there ore some outstanding students. One third year student placed in the state-wide contest in Cicero, I believe. Yes, it is really a very im¬ portant subject. Miss Bopp and Mrs. De Luerre encour¬ age the members all they con, and the club has a long history of successes. FRENCH CLUB . T v rr “ ' ' ' Te.ro rre Altrp tu iFurpinu IGauitfi Oh dear! thought Alice as she looked at the fourth sign. That ' s another one of these language groups. Well, France looks familiar. I ' ve heard my sister talking about that country in her lessons. Mr. Rabitt! Mr. Rabitt! I wonder if he ' s gone to sleep, now before we ' re quite finished. Is this a club, too, with parties and conferences, and meetings? Not so fast, child. I ' m not so spry as I was — This group has its special features. Its annual party, Christ¬ mas in Paris, is one of them. Besides indulging in French food, this year the club enjoyed unique entertainment. Janet Cusamono, Joanne Hauger, Nancy Johnston, and Cheryl Bellot gave their interpretation of an act put on by a French chorus line. Of course there was plenty of food? anxiously in¬ quired Alice who liked to eat. Oh yes, the Rabbit assured her. These young peo¬ ple needed money, too. They decided everyone likes to eat so they fattened up their treasury with two bake sales at Krogers. They have meetings once in a while — busi¬ ness affairs, I believe. It must be fun to have parties instead of lessons, observed Alice. Dear me. Of course they have lessons. French is very popular here. There are four classes now. That ' s work, not parties, objected the Rabbit. But in April the group went to Wirt for a joint party with another French Club, and now I hear talk cAout another end of the year affair — dinner or social eve¬ ning, explained the Rabbit. Oh dear me, this will never do, he exclaimed look¬ ing at a large watch which dangled from his wrist. I must see the Queen! and off he trotted leaving Alice alone with the four sign posts. hj SlHpr a Harspumt liaup rpat J all “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Ah, yes! exclaimed the strange little creature, view¬ ing the handsome egg. We did have a great Fall. Don ' t stand chattering to yourself like that, Humpty sneered, looking at it for the first time, but tell me your name and your business. I ' m the Horace Mann Pigskin and I ' m on my way to make my report to Her Royal Highness, the Queen of Hearts, about my most astounding season. Pray tell, creature, what great culinary delight hove you seasoned? No, No, sir. You ' ve completely misunderstoon me. You see . . . Don ' t interrupt me, you pig-squeak. I won ' t take second seat to a shallow earthling. Now, I am ready; you may explain yourself and your tremendously amaz¬ ing season. Well, you see, sir, it began when August 15, rolled around. Few people in Mannland realized that this year ' s football team would be the fulfillment of a dream a group of dirty, sweaty freshman boys had three years ago. But the 1961 team was no exception to the football tradition Mann had developed during the last decade. Decade, shmeckade! Get to the point, bellowed the impatient egg. “Yes, sir. But, first, you must hear a bit more prologue about the team which was destined for victory. Coach Don Elser, with his new assistant. Sir Douglass Oppmon, explained after summer practice: ' We ' re small in size, but mighty big in desire. ' These few words stuck with the Horsemen through the sixty-one campaign. The socerer ' s predictions had the Horsemen pegged as ' too small ' to go all the w , but in the eyes of HM, finishing fourth in the state, is going far for a team that was too small to succeed. So much for the prologue, creature. Now tell me about your season. My time is lim¬ ited. I have on appointment with all the king ' s horses and all the king ' s men. As you soy, sir. Yes, yes, proceed without dawdling. The H-Men started galloping the path of victory on September 7, with a 21-0 win over Gary Edison, defeat¬ ing the Calumet Conference Champions. On September 15, the Horsemen got their first big scare. Former H.M. Assistant Coach, Eddie Herbert, brought his Lew Wal¬ lace charges to Gilroy field where they fell one point short of an upset victory, 7-6. How ' d such an upset happen? As my memory serves me. Coach Elser decided to try a difficult play when the score was 6-0 in favor of the Hornets. Placing two quarterbacks in the backfield.

With the extra point contributed by Bruce Moutaw, the Horsemen were home with their second win and first conference victory. Following the Wallace upet, the Horsemen continued their march to the East. Losing 6-0 at the half, the Horse¬ men trod strongly over a rainsoaked field to gain a 26-6 West NIHSC victory over Valpo. This overthrow kept the H-Men in the undefeated class at 3-0. Tell me more, little creature, more. Well, sir. The Horsemen then breezed thru a 33-6 triumph over the hc less Raiders of Tolleston, which brought the team to its most exciting and important test of the season. On October 5 it was destined to meet the notorious East Chicago Roosevelt Rough Riders. Ranked second in the state, the velt was seurprisingly upset. Such a glorious overthrow set the H-Men in the fourth place ranking of the state ratings. Succeeding the season ' s climax the H.-Men invaded Gilroy Stadium again to take on Gary Roosevelt. The Panther ' s highly regarded passing attack was completely thwarted by the hard charging Mann line. The team ' s good defense line and the thrilling running of Senior Johnny Durkott were featured in the 26-12 rampage. The Portage Indians were the team ' s next victims, al¬ though in the first quarter the Indians made some people remember 1958 when the small, hard-biting Portage elev¬ en upset another HM undefeated team of clod-trodders. On October 25th, the Horsemen finally avenged their city rival. Gory Emerson, by virtue of a 33-6 anninhala- tion of the Golden Torado. November 2 brought the de¬ cisive game of the season. The Froebel Blue Devils, hav¬ ing had one of their most successful seasons, too, was the only team left to stop Elser ' s team from claiming the con¬ ference championship. On that cold November night the Horsemen were not to be denied. Playing like the Champions they were, they obliterated the Blue Devils, 43-20. Oh, I guess that is the end of a fantastic season, as you call it. No, no, not yet! You see, because of the disqualifi¬ cation of East Chicago Washington, another team of champions, the Horsemen, won the right to play in the NIHSC playoff game against South Bend Washington. The H-Men had reached their Eastern Goal. November 10 brought an end to the winning streak, however, of the diminuative Horsemen as the Panthers of South Bend defeated the H-Men 20-6. Ah, tis tragic, ' tis a consummation devoutly to be undesired. So right, so right. Except for a few mistakes and some unfortunate fumbles, the gallant Horsemen might have walked off with all honors. But, this defeat marked the end of a most successful season for the fighting Horsemen. This is a season worthy of all praise and it must be proclaimed throughout the Land. Hurry, little pigskin, the Queen will well wont to hear of the fabulous 1962 fighting Horsemen. VARSITY BASKETBALL Kneeling: Lambert Genetos, Bob Goodwin, Ion Dimitri, Tom Smith, Captain; Lorry Owens, John Clark Standing: Tim Brown, Ken Hothaway, John Sabovich, Frank Houk, Henry Yorin, Dave Carlson JItB iEu (@um Jlmtfutinn--laHkftbaU Ahoy, ahoy, check! heard Alice, who turned around to see a fat little knight in white armor, tumbling awkwardly from his horse. As he stood up, she noticed he was car¬ rying on his back a hoop with a net attached. What are you trying to catch? Butterflies? ventur¬ ed Alice doubtfully. It ' s my own invention, you know. But what is it for. It has a hole in the bottom, persist¬ ed Alice. To throw a ball through, naturally, replied the knight as he tottered off. Curious as usual, Alice followed. Soon they came to a door labeled Boy ' s Gymnasium. Now here ' s where you see my invention at work, explained the night. Looking through the open doorr to her amazement Alice saw attached to the balcony at either end of the room, two hoops with nets much like the one which the knight carried. Ten boys were playing on the floor, pass¬ ing a ball to each other until one managed to drop it through the basket. Half were dressed in red shirts. Do these HM boys play your game successfully? asked Alice. The knight looked down at the ground and answered Basketball, Alice, as you see, is a game largely for tall men, and here at Horace Mann we just don ' t grow tall men. But now while I go look for that horse of mine, you sit here and read this — it ' s a special notebook in which I have a record of all that ' s taken place this year. I carry it sideways so the pages don ' t get tangled up! A good invention of mine! Alice was too polite to refuse so she obediently sat on a bench and started to skim through the closely written pages. In November the outlook was grim. Only four lettermen re¬ mained from last vear ' s team. Throunhout the difficult season that followed Coach Hobbs ' boys showed energy and a de¬ sire to fight, but Coach Hobbs had to choose his team from an almost completely inexperi¬ enced squad. Still the season RESERVE BASFCETBALL started in a blaze of glory when HM defeated Edison 71-49. Although the year ' s record of 3-18 doesn ' t seem very impressive, HM showed some of the most interesting cmd lively basketball in the region. Brown and Yurin ' s re¬ bounding together with Strang ' s and Smith ' s shooting kept the Horsemen in many a close contest, which was exciting to watch even when HM was defeated. After the opening victory, HM was turned back by Crown Point 73-66, and LoPorte 71-54. Next, aided by a tremendous spirit and a few new members who had join¬ ed the team after football season, the boys played two thrilling games. Against Lew Wallace, they lost by only three points, next Wirt defeated them 70-64. There fol¬ lowed a period of low morale before the team regained its fighting pep once more. Even the heart breaking loss to Hammond Tech by a score of 74-71 did not discourage them. They struggled to pull an upset victory in vain; Hammond, Whiting, and Valpo defeated them. Again a heartbreaking loss to HM ' s old rival, Emerson, by one point in a hard fought game with a 39-38 score. Next, two losses — to Marion of Chicago 68-55, and to E. Chi¬ cago ' s Roosevelt 68-55 — were followed by a victory of 75-68 over Portage. This victory was sparked by Yurin who scored fifteen points and did on excellen job of re¬ bounding. Smith chipped in twenty-five points to help the cause. Despite its losing record this year ' s team did not break Coach Hobbs ' tradition of winning at least one sectional victory. Tom Smith tossed in 37 points which was a high score for the tournament. This scoring, together with the determined spirit of the team, brought HM a 63-61 triumph over Merriville. Defeat again was their portion in the fol¬ lowing game. The sectional champions, Froebel, brought the curtain down for the last time on the Horsemen ' s 1961- 1962 season.

While she was considering whether or not to go wading, she observed a strange creature emerge from the water and stand weeping on the shore. Who indeed are you? she demanded. The Mock Turtle. What Mock Turtle Soup is made from, retorted the creature, and I ' m reminded of my dear old school days. Why where did you go to — In the sea, naturally. Now those boys out there aren ' t taught all we learned. I went to school every day with extras like Washing — Why did you need that at the bottom of the sea? demanded Alice. These boys seem to be taught by their Master-Reel¬ ing and Diving, but not the branches of arithmetic we learned — uglification, derision —. What ore they — the boys? The swimming team, naturally. A most exclusive group] Why are they so particularly exclusive? Because they are a team of champs in their own rank. Their coach keeps admission qualifications high. Their season record shows seven wins and five loses, with victories over such squads as Wirt, Portage, Roose¬ velt, Wallace, and Whiting. Also the mermen, as they are sometimes called, took third place in the Western Division of the N.I.H.S.C. and captured a seventh in the N.I.H.S.C. What does this team have to do? Alice asked. The Turtle replied sometwhot crossly. Here ' s the roster of last year ' s season. Alice obedienlly sat on a rock and read the rather damp sheet handed her. SWIMMING RECORD 400 Yd.

Oh, I ' ve seen lawn tennis at tea parties. Is it like that? Certainly not. This is combat, girl. The teams com¬ pete with those from other schools and they practice a good many hours. They want to win! Well, do they? inquired Alice. Look at their record and decide for yourself — You ask too many questions.

They were standing under a tree, each with on arm sluggishly draped round the other ' s neck. Alice knew which was which in a moment because one of them had DUM embroidered on his collar, and the other DEE. I suppose they ' ve each got TWEEDLE ' round at the back of the collar, she said to herself. If you think we ' re alive, you ought to speak, said the one marked DEE. Well, then, Alice replied, Why ore you two so tired? Have you been playing too hard.? Controrywise, said Tweedle Dum, We ' ve been running every hill and dale in Monnlond. Tell me, what are you chasing? You see, we re chasing the Cross Country team and we ' re trying to keep up with the other fellows, panted Tweedle Dee. Oh me, oh my ... I took the wrong turn. I ' m in the wrong country, thought Alice, Tell me, please. What country am I in? Contrarywise they both shouted. Cross Country is a sport, Dum continued. And a tiring, fast-pacing one at that, Dee added. Please explain Alice asked, as always. Cross Country, my dear, is a sport — pant, pant — in which all the able-bodied men . . . Sometimes unable bodied tool interrupted Dum. Anyway — men, Dee continued, run with their fastest speed in order to win a race — and bring the kingdom fame. Well, did the Horsemen win any races, Alice ques¬ tioned. Contrarywise, the season was not very good this year. The records show 4-11 for the Horsemen. How¬ ever, they did work hard, added Dum. How well did the boys do? One chap — Jerry Wally — ranked 24 out of 200 contestants in a race involving all the kingdoms. Coach Hobbs, however, did say early in the season, the team was impressive — continued Dee. With Art Angotti the team looked pretty bright, until his team mates — Bobele and Smith were ruined by injuries. WHRRRRRI WHRRRRRI My — Dum — there ' s coach ' s whistle! We ' ve best get back to see what ' s happening. Affirmative, affirmative, added Dum, as they raced off leaving Alice in a cloud of dust.

Venturing closer to the disturbance she saw it was Twee- dledee and Tweedledum having one of their daily brawls. Alice remarked, Must you always be fighting? Why of course we must fight. What else is there to do between lunch and dinner? Why there ' s Jim Maloyter, exclaimed Tweedledum. He ' s captain of a team that wrestles, you know. Wrestles? Is that the same as fighting? asked Alice. Why no, objected Jim. Wrestling is an art which requires much skill. But we at Horace Mann ore rather new at this sport. This is only our second year of com¬ petition. Just then two husky youths stepped forward and to Alice ' s amazement started turning each other upside down. Tweedledee called out, Ready, Wrestle. But they already are, interrupted Tweedledum. My, do they always do that well? asked Alice. Well, the team had its ups and downs, said Jim. Coach Oppmon has tried to teach the sport of wrestling to all the boys and of course we try to win our meets too. But we came up on the short end of our meets this year, I ' m sorry to report.

Alice replied, I thought Unicorns were monsters who couldn ' t talk, and I ' ve never met a talking lion either. Just then a small roundboll went whizzing by her head. What was that? Alice asked inquisitively. That was a baseball, answered the Lion. A baseball, said Alice, How can a musical instru¬ ment be a boll? “Oh no! the Unicom exclaimed, “Not a bass ball, a b-a-s-e-b-a-1-1. What do you do with a baseball? called Alice. You hit it with a bat, said the Lion. Oh, I see, is it a game for animals? Not at all; it ' s not the kind of bat that flies, but a long, round bat made of wood so that you can hit the ball, said the impatient Unicom. Then, said Alice, What happens next? You run to first base, the Lion replied impatiently, If you are safe you can try to steal second base. Steal! Oh dear, stealing isn ' t good sportsmanship. They don ' t want to take anything, intermpted the Unicom. They attempt to run to second base before they are tagged out. Then what? asked Alice. Whover is up to bat will try to hit a home run. You mean they hit the ball and then run home? said Alice. The Lion, who was running out of patience, put his paw around the girl gently and explained, A home run, my kind friend, is when a player hits the ball so far that he con run around all the bases and back to home plate. Did the Horace Mann team hit very many home runs? asked Alice. “Yes, they have dear, said the Unicom, but the season is not over and the team has been playing its warm-up gomes, as they start their conference games their record is .500. You mean they have won 500 games, asked the ex¬ cited Alice. By my gracious, no! retorted the Lion. .500 is a percentage that means they have won and lost the same number of games! Have they ever done that well before? inquired Alice. Let me tell her, pleaded the Unicom, They won the Conference with a record of 10-0, and this year they hove already won 2 of their conference games by beating Froebel 12-6 on 16 hits and Valparaiso 1-0 on a 4 hit! This year, their hopes for winning a third straight conference title depend largely upon the underclassmen. Good Luck, Alice called back to her two friends as they started to leave, I certainly hope the team hits its goal this year. Ah, here comes our friend, Haegha , called out the Unicom. Min iEpFts tltp arark a am “Look and see, Alice, if my messenger is coming, demanded the King. Yes he is, was Alice ' s reply, But what strange at¬ titudes he goes into. (for the messenger kept skipping up and down, waving his hands.) He certainly won ' t get here very fast that way! His attitudes aren ' t strange at all, said the King. He ' s on Anglo-Saxon Messenger, and those are Anglo- Saxon attitudes. His name is Haiglia, and he ' s been tracking me down in order to bring me the news of Mannland. Just then the Unicom came up to the King. I got the best of him this time. Don ' t bother me, I wont to hear Hoighia ' s report, objected the King sullenly. Go on Haighia. You must be tired of tracking me! Sit down and give me the story. The messenger, after a few minutes of silent media¬ tion, began. T is for Tim Brown who is a shot putter. R is for Richie Dilling who is our sprinter. A is a-a-a, the King interrupted. Art Angotti who does the distance run¬ ning and C is for Charlie Finley who ' s the high jumper, and K is for Krasne, who mns the 440. Who in the world are those people, gasped the astounded Alice Oh, just names of some of the track team. The King then proceeded to explain to Alice all about track and how the boys train to win. Well, said the King as he turned to the Messenger, now that you are rested, you can give me oil the latest news of the team. The Horace Mann track team opened the season with a 4th place finish in the City-Indoor Meet, and a 5th place in the Conference-Indoor; both meets were held in Chica¬ go. Art Angotti won the mile and the half-mile on both occasions. The highlights of the season so far hove been on upset victory by the Horsemen in the Hammond Relays, where the Horsemen beat such track schools os Hobart and host Hammond. Blue ribbons played a key port in the team ' s triumph. Angotti won the mile plus anchoring the sprint relay and distance relay. Finley won the high jump and Owen won the broad jump. Fresh from the Hammond Relays, the red and white fin¬ ished a solid third in the Conference Outdoor. Angotti again won the mile and the 880, while firsts ' were also garnered by Finley and Owen again. The Outdoor City Meet, held at Gilroy, saw the Horsemen finishing 4th. Richie Dilling provided the H-Men with their only winner. Angotti took second, running only the half mile, but broke the existing state record — a 1:54.9 performance. The Horsemen were well represented in the Inter-Conference Meet held at Elkhart, scoring 17 points on a first by Artie in 4:25.6, the best in the state this year, two seconds by Dilling in the 100 yd. dash and 220 yd. dash, a third by Finley in the high jump, and a fourth by Owen in the broad jump. As we go to press, with the sectionals not yet run, our predictions are os follows: a first by Angotti in the mile; a first by Dilling in the 100 yd. dash; and a first by both Finley and Owen in the high-jump and broad jump respectively. ® ' ‘ ' DarSTcini ' I ' ' ovich, Kathie John., Mary Sandra 6lh Row: Carol Ander« n, Rhonda Stahl, Nancy Byron (TllP (Stria pai| Crmiurt Alice; Oh good! A croquet gome, that ' s some¬ thing I know how to ploy. Come on then! shouted the Queen. Alice joined the procession of girls wondering very much what was going to happen next. It ' s — It ' s a very fine dory, said a timid voice at her side. She was walking by the white rab¬ bit. Yes, very, said Alice. Is that the Duch¬ ess? Hush! Hush! said the Rabbit in a low hurried tone. That ' s Mary Ann King, President of the Girls ' Club Board. He looked anxiously over his shoulder as he spoke, and then upon tip¬ toe put his mouth close to her ear and whispered, Those girls are all members of the board and they ' re having a meeting. What for? said Alice. Oh hush! the Rabbit whispered, “the Queen will hear you! Alice stood quietly. These meetings are very important. You see, this club is very large. Every girl in High School is a member. The board and officers only represent the dif¬ ferent classes. Get to your places shouted the Queen and girls be¬ gan running about in all directions. Alice thought she had never in her life seen such a curious croquet gome: it was all ridges and furrows; the croquet bolls were far too large for the mallets. On each wicket there was a sign naming an activity of the club. The Queen shouted out the rules for the game and it began. It seems that the object of the game was to pass thrugh the wickets accord¬ ing to the schedule of events. These began wtih a Get Acquainted Potluck for all old and new members on October 3. The next wicket was a hospital project, mak- favors for Thanksgiving, on November 20. Oh dear. I ' ve missed it! she said. In this very short time the Queen was in a furious passion and went stamping about, shouting, ' Off with her head, off with her head! Alice began to feel very uneasy, when she noticed a curious appearance in the car: at first it puzzled her, but after watching it a minute or two she said to herselfc, it ' s the Cheshire Cat: now I ' ll have someone to talk to. ' How are you doing? inquired the Cat. Alice began on account of the game. See that wicket over there, with all the girls gathering round? That one says Christmas Tea . The girls, led by some faculty members, song carols. Alice soon come to the conclusion that this was a very difficult gome. They play¬ ers all played at once without waiting for their turns. The wicket in the middle said, Twirp Week March 5-9. This was the week when the sexes change places. The girls take the responsibility for all dotes. During the week a sockhop is held cmd on Fridcry a semi-formal dance ends a busy week for the girls. To the right is the next wicket, Lake County Conference, followed by the Suburban Conference. This game just didn ' t seem to have any particular rules. Alice now had an excellent opportunity for croqueting, the only difficulty was she was now directly in front of a wicket saying Lew Wal¬ lace Style Show April 17. This one she especially did not want to miss. At the other end of the ground, how¬ ever, was the lost wicket saying, Senior Buffet Supper, May 14. How do you like the Queen murmured the Cat in a low voice. I guess she ' s not really os bad as she seem: She ' s so extremely — Just then she noticed the Queen close behind her, listening, so she went on like¬ ly to win, that it ' s hardly worth finishing the game. The Queen smiled and passed on. Already the Queen had sentenced three players for having missed their turns. How could anyone keep track of the game? Alice decid¬ ed to leave, when suddenly she noticed the Cat ' s head fading away. Cheshire puss, where ore you? called Alice softly. Where do I go now. No where. It ' s all over but some pictures. This is the end, called a distant voice. Soon the cat ' s head appeared. Why, is this all of Wonderland? objected Alice. Well, it ' s about all of the Annual. You ' re in it and so am I, and the whole school year at H.M. for that matter. I suppose so, if you say so. Of course. I ' m right. That Annual Staff just took things right out of our book; all of Mr. Carrol ' s best ideas, twisted them around and printed it with potato chips. Of course the staff made a great fuss — taking pictures, pasting, writ¬ ing and what not. Potato chips? I don ' t quite— That ' s where the money came from. Tm not sure I like to be in this book! ' The rest of it is just school life pictures! You don ' t need me any — an !y the grin as well as the v faded away . . . (Thr (Era Parly And how do you get on with Time?” inquired the Mad Hatter of Alice. Have you ever spoken to him? No replied Alice with caution, but — She ' s no help, insisted the March Hare. Let ' s wake up the Dormouse and have him tell us a story . . . Whereupon they pinched the dozing Dor¬ mouse until he began his tale in a sleepy voice. Once upon a time there was a group, said he looking spitefully at the Mad Hatter, which got on very well with Time. They were his best helper. They are called the Social Committee. Where did they live? asked the March Hare. At Horace Mann, of course. ' They make the calendar and oversee all social activities. They schedule dances, check on chaperones, and keep all events in order. No social event takes place unless they sanction the Time; so Time never gets mixed up at Horace Mann and He ' s very grateful for their help — as ore the clubs and classes too. But, Alice interrupted timidly, Aren ' t calendars al¬ ready made by — Not this one. Very enterprising group. Arranged Rose Day, soid pennants for basketball tournament. ' They gave a banquet, not just a tea party, exclaimed the Dor¬ mouse with a triumphant look at the March Hare who had just upset his tea cup. The Who ' s Who dinner for all the club presidents of all the organizations and their sponsors. They run it, together with that Booster Group. Pleasant affair I ' m told. That banquet was in the school cafeteria, but their own was held at Phil Schmidt ' s in May. Being social committee, naturally they had to have their own social event to end a happy year. You know, observed the Hatter to Alice, the king got me into trouble with Time and it ' s stopped for me ever since. It ' s always six o ' clock! Most inconvenient. I ' ve been thinking of getting help from the H.M. Booster Club. Booster. Do they push people up and over? ex¬ claimed Alice. ‘Of course they do. Very valuable group in school. There ' s the cheer leaders who get everyone behind the teams and train cheering sections and arrange pep meetings, answered the Hatter. I don ' t understand a word of it, but I ' ll never tell him, murmured Alice to herself. Then they get all those people chosen kings and queens. Homecoming queen is selected and crowned. Next come all the senior kings and queens who are chos¬ en by votes throughout the kingdom. The club decor¬ ates the gym, puts on a dance, and gets everybody crowned. ' Takes place after the senior play. Yes, they do seem very energetic, agreed Alice. That ' s not all; the club makes money. Made and sold pompoms, sold chrysanthemums for homecoming. They are behind every school activity. I ' m sure they could help me too, insisted the Hatter. Now that they have finished with most sports, helped with Who ' s Who dinner and had a few celebrations for themselves, surely, I can expect a little attention. Change places shrieked the March Hare. The Hat¬ ter dashed for a seat at the tea table on the lawn where the Dormouse and the March Hare were comfortably seated. Alice decided that the Cheshire Cat had been right. These people were mad! Carefully and cautiously she slipped out of sight behind a mulberry bush.

AUrp mh Animals in Wimh Suddenly, Alice found herself surrounded by on odd assortment of many different animals. A faint squeak from behind startled her; she turned around to face a small brown mouse with very large eyes. You ' re just in time for the Caucus Race, is that why you ' ve come, said the mouse. When the animals had explained to Alice that all one did in a Caucus race was run around in circles and that everyone was the winner, Alice said rather sharply, It seem foolish to me when one could find so many more useful ways to spend time. Listen to her, shrieked the Lory to the mouse. She sounds like a Student Council member with all that talk of useful ways to spend time. Student Council? remarked Alice in on inquiring tone. I guess if you wanted to describe it in one phrase, squeaked the mouse, you can call it ' the voice of the students ' . It has a hand in just about everything that goes on in Horace Mann. The dumb Dodo, wishing to be helpful, added, oh . . . there ' s too many people so they divide up into groups, cause it ' s . . . Oh, ... so big. The Legislative Committee does all the voting work and Durkott runs that. Let me finish, chirped a pretty little Canary. I con speak much better than you.

Rona Weinraub is in charge of all school publicity and the new Student Council Frier, added the Lory. The Calendar and Lost and Found Committee, under Karen Muroida, posts all current events and this year started a new bulletin board and Student Council Scrapbook. And don ' t forget that inspecting the school for any improvements needed is the job of the Building and Grounds Committee, led by lim Malayter, squeaked the Mouse ' s piping voice. Now see, said Alice. There ' s on organization that keeps busy with useful things, instead of running around in circles like some people I know. They still have fun, though, objected the Lory. An induction dinner for Student Council members and their parents was held in October and a farewell banquet hon¬ oring the seniors was given at the end of the year. Don ' t think we ' ve stopped yet, Alice, hooted the wise old owl. The Student Council also gave the an¬ nual Holiday Ball, held at the Chystal Ball Room at the Hotel Gary, and helped in various fund raising projects: The city-wide S.O.S. Drive, a Fun Night, and the Fim Festival. My, exclaimed Alice, It would ' ve been easier to ask what the Student Council isn ' t, instead of what it is, be¬ cause it appears to be just about everything. You ' re so right, observed the mouse, for the entire school functions under the helping hand of the Student Council.

The White Rabbit blew three loud blasts on his trumpet and called out, first witness. Miss Betty J. Spychalski, the club sponsor took the stand. State your evidence, bellowed the rabbit, and the trial started. The letter awards given during the year of nineteen hundred and sixty-two to all girls earning over twelve hundred points were numerous, she said and went on to read the list. Write that down, the King instructed, and th e mem¬ bers of the jury eagerly wrote the information in their blue note books. Continue, he said ratherlv mildly, as the second witness, Ellon Van Home, took the stand to tell how her wallball loam won the tourney in a 3-2 vic¬ tory over Ramona Zacarias ' s team. Consider your verdict, yelled the King. Not yet, not yet! the rabit hastily interrupted. Your Majesty, there is a great deal to come before that. Then Vivan Vance was told to take the stand. She vividly described the final game of the basketball tour¬ ney, when her sophomore team shocked the juniors with a 48-39 victory. The next pierson called upon to testify was Janet Cusu¬ mano, the club ' s Vice President, who was to report on the social activities for the year.

It was a fine outing, too. Alice watched the White Rabbit as he fumbled over the list to see who the next witness would be. The King suddenly step¬ ped up and dismissed the jury. When the jury reassembled it read the list of those who they felt were worthy award winners. After the trophys were presented, the crowd dispersed and Alice left the grounds with the King and Queen.

While looking around trying to figure out her surround¬ ings, she hears Porter Frank B. Roman, Junior Honor So¬ ciety sponsor, call — All aboard for the Mannland Express! Next stop Honor Society Village. The following moment Alice is approached by Con¬ ductor John P. Friel, the advisor of Senior Honor Society. Tickets, lady. Hurry now. I have not all day, he cries. What do you want? inquiried Alice curiously. Your tickets, child. You know, the green cardboard square with the word Scholarship written on it, the pink one with Leadership on it, the red for Character, and the white for Service, replies the man, impatiently. Tickets? How much are they? Oh, where am I, anyway? exclaimed Alice, on the verge of tears. Mr. Friel is quite perturbed at her ignorance. Young Lady, you are on a special railroad on your way to a vil¬ lage inhabited by outstanding students who have proven their excellence. They have worked diligently in our school city, Mannland, to achieve the honor of being a part of Junior and Senior Honor Societies. They hove spent years aiming toward this goal, and the members of Junior Honor Society Square are looking forward to moving up to Senior Honor Society Plaza, the most ex¬ clusive section of the town. Every other week the Senior Honor Society Plaza, the most exclusive section of the town. Every other week the Senior Honor Society Plaza Tow Hall is frequented by the Senior group, which en¬ gages in At-Rondom sessions. And you want to buy your way ini I am afraid money cannot purchase your passage here. When the express jerked to a stop, Alice attempted to get off but the train started up too quickly, and she was off on another adventurous ride.

Peer¬ ing through the window, she observed several clusters of boys and girls intent on what —? Through the open window buzzed a huge horse fly. Well, thought Alice to herself, everything in this mixed-up country talks. So, I ' ll soon find out what they are doing. ' Great intellects, hissed the fly, all of them chosen by tests and interpretations and what not. Since they know some things they ' re supposed to be encouraged to know more. They ' re invited to join a foe Berg group. Quite an opportunity. More about what? begged Alice. Everything — Foreign Language, Mathematics, Sci¬ ence, Psychology, Sociology. See! Some are watching experiments; others are listening to learned lectures on many topics, or pursuing their own special projects. But they aren ' t in school, protested Alice. Of course not sputtered the horse fly. This is extra time — in the evenings. These are real students — stim¬ ulated to go beyond the ordinary class room — well, this train ' s too slow for me, and off he flew out the win¬ dow just as the train started through a tunnel. So you don ' t like insects, whispered a Gnat in Al¬ ice ' s ear. Oh, if they con talk, I do protested Alice. What did you say? muttered a plump little man across the aisle. After the shriek of the engine subsided, Alice spoke in her best Sunday-school voice, I didn ' t mean you, sir. Are you traveling for? I have on invitation, I know where I ' m going — to an open meeting of the World Affairs Forum, ex¬ plained the little man. They ' re chosen, too, whispered the Gnat, for their interest in history and world problems. Little girl, please listen to me interrupted the plump passenger. I get off when we change engins. Thse are Juniors and Seniors from schools all over the city. Every year they decide on one or two special problems to study and discuss. Sometimes they allow us older people to attend their monthly meeting. Do they try to solve problems? asked Alice eagerly. Don ' t be ridiculous, child. They are trying to gain understanding and inform themselves about these ques¬ tions, not solve anything. Let ' s get off here insisled the Gnat, and I ' ll show you a rocking-horse fly. He ' s very interesting to know.

He is always ready to make special equipment that teachers design for their own use and cooperates in all school projects. As a teacher he is sincerely interested in his pupils. He is patient about explaining what a pupil does not understand, but he is not patient with sloppy, inaccurate work. He encourages pupils to choose and work out their own projects. He is tolerant, good-natured and has a pleasant sense of humor, all of which make his shop popular with the pupils. Being a very active person, he loves the outdoors. hunting and fishing, sports — dart ball in particular, and he also takes on active part in his church ' s activities. Mr. Bell, after graduating from high school in 1916, attended Valparaiso University, receiving a certificate in Manual Training in 1918. His first short two months ' teaching career was quickly ended by the War, but he returned in the same year working in the Mills until 1923. His first lengthy teaching position was at the 20th Avenue School. T hen in 1928 he came to Horace Mann where he ' s now terminating thirty-nine years in the teaching profession. We wish Mr. Bell and his wife much happiness and enjoyment as they tour the United States in their new trailer. ratl Coming to Horace Mann from Lew Wallace to teach grade schooy gym, Mrs. Scott soon found herself involved with the high school cheerleaders and the Booster Qub as well. Her interest and enthusiasm made her gym classes lively and fast moving. She introduced many new features in her physical education courses, and en¬ couraged her pupils to enjoy games and swimming. Of course Mrs. Scott will always stand as a symbol of the Booster Club and the first sponsor of the Cheerlead¬ ers. They really meant a lot to her and she did all she could to keep their standards high so they would be worthy representatives of Horace Mann. A scrapbook filled with years and years of memories, — a Christmas Breakfast for the club, a Senior Breakfast in the spring, and an Awards Banquet at Phil Schmidt ' s are a few ex¬ amples of the Booster Club traditions set by her. Her enthusiasm, briskness, cheerfulness, and ability inspired every person who worked with her to do his very best. Yes, girl ' s gym. Booster Club, the Cheerleaders, and Horace Mann itself meant a lot to Mrs. Scott, and she is missed by both the faculty and students of Horace Mann.
