HJanual 10fi3 lE ttton A scientific record of the school year 1962-1963 in Horace Mann School, Gary, Indiana AraiU ' ttur ICtfr $ a, A § rhnnl Yes, a school is much like a laboratory. Pupils grow here. They are continually going through many different experiments — experiments such as meeting new people, making new friends, and facing new challenges. These all help to develop each student ' s mind and personality. In the early stages of their school career, pupils come into the lab as raw material . Here the student, like the scientist, gains new knowledge By observing, testing, and experimenting. Also like the scientist, the pupil experiences failures and frustrations along with success and exciting discov¬ eries. Soon the peak of the pupil ' s high school life has been reached — his senior vear. He has gained — in knowledge and maturity. He has under¬ gone both analysis and synthesis of character. The lab records of his ex¬ perimental days will be kept forever ... as memories. Such a record follows in these pages ... a series of academic and social experiments for the school year 1962-1963.

FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS Gus Sevastianos, Secretary; Roger Sullivan, Vice-President; Sharon Johnson, Treasurer; Dave Hales, President. Birthrate Life Span Basic Personality Type Physical Structure Social Problems Social Projects Prejudices Social Movements Educational Institutions Anxiety Neurosis Social Attitudes Language Death Rate A SOCIAL-BIOLOGICAL STUDY OF FRESHMEN Diminishes almost entirely from its high point in September. Nine months, September to June. The Freshman is friendly, a little reserved toward his environment in the early stages of existence; vigorous, especially, at the 3:20 bell; and a faithful movie goer, television viewer, and radio listener. Though somewhat shorter and lighter than others, the Freshman bone struc¬ ture shows signs of future development. Height ranges from 3 ' 1 to 6 ' 1 . Weight from 44 pounds to 344 pounds. Algebra equations, book report questions, English diagrams, Como estd or “Wie geht ' s , and biological nomenclature. The Freshmore, Freshman Football and Basketball teams. Concerning certain items, the Freshman has strong, highly emotional feelings. The items are classrooms, teachers and above all — exams. The Freshman has moved out to the Freshmore , ’Holiday Tournament and the Tournabout . The Freshmore , Freshman Football and basketball teams. Exists before tests and quizes, especially over the new experience of final exams. The Freshman has strong opinions about going steady. But be his opinions for or against, he ' s definitely all for socializing. Like you know, man, it ' s cool, sharp, and poignant. Like man, it says something. Abnormally high in June. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Bill Genetos, President; Judi Binder, Secretary; April Dooge, Vice-President; Barbara Mailath, Treasurer. A SOCIAL-BIOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE SOPHOMORES Classification Sophomore (1962- ' 63 variation) Origin September 7, 1962. Evolutionary Development Has occurred at a rapid rate with direct descent from a now extinct organism, the 1961- ' 62 Freshman. Digestive System Allows for an enormous appetite for Shakespear, circles, one-act plays, and many sided polygons. Environment The Sophomore (in order to survive in his environment) must keep up with the scholastic curriculum. Parents and teachers (external stimuli) see that this is accomplished. But the environment is not entirely scholastic. There are activities to entice and whet the appetite of our Sophomore, and notable organizations to expend his interests and utilize his talents. Division of Labor Some sophomores have shown great initiative and responsibility in studying academic subjects. Others have labored extensively in the musical, dramat¬ ic, or athletic fields, and many have displayed leadership in various govern¬ ing organizations. Cultural Achievements The Sophomore Class Play, The Unguided Miss, The Freshmore, and contri¬ butions to the Band Extravaganza, Orchestra Concert, Annie Get Your Gun, and the Talent Parade. Health Is in excellent condition due to an extensive physical education program which includes swimming, exercise and the playing of competitive sports. Patterns of Behavior The Sophomore ' s most exhilarating and friendliest mood occurs at 3:20 P.M. on Fridays. His most depressing and melancholy mood results at the end of a 6 week period when a small white card is issued to him. Extinction Comes in the month of June. When all of nature ' s creatures are filling the world with life, the Sophomore passed into a deep, and well deserved rest. Religious Belief That after cessation, reincarnation will occur in the form of a new organism, a Junior.

A PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT Statement of the Problem To discover the tastes and interest of seniors at Horace Mann School. Subjects Having ages of either 17 or 18 years, 198 seniors were chosen for testing. Although the group resides on the west side of Gary, the majority are literate. The individual types are boys and girls. Strange as it may appear, there existed among them a feverish project for further research. Results Though this test was intended to indicate senior in¬ terests and tastes, it actually measures only what the senior says are his tastes and interests. One should also note that all the independent variables, except the one being tested, have been properly controlled. And without deductive reasoning, to which we are most grateful, the results of this test could not have been at¬ tained. Nor validation, the Standard Deviation Test, an in¬ strument of extreme accuracy, has shown this experi¬ ment to be highly precise. This, no doubt, may allow people to accept this test as scientific material. This is important. For man, through the gaining of facts by scientific experimentation, has replaced ignorance and superstition with accurate knowledge. A QUESTIONNAIRE Question 1.

Bingham, President; Andrew White, Secretary. Standing: Samuel P. Moise, Mrs. Dena I. Adams, Treasurer. BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES The Board of Education has many responsibili¬ ties to the Gary schools and to the community. The members of the board must meet the problem of running the school system efficiently and effective¬ ly. They are responsible for building new schools and keeping up old ones. They must keep teach¬ ing methods modern and are also responsible for hiring the teachers and personnel necessary to keep the schools functioning successfully. To insure the smooth running of the schools, the preparation of budgets, the making of salary sched¬ ules, and the investigation of special problems, the Board attends bimonthly business meetings as well as many special conferences. The job the members of the schoool board un¬ dertake is time consuming and difficult, but the citizens of Gary greatly appreciate the work the Board is doing. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS The Superintendent of Schools is chosen by the School Board to carry out its orders, which include providing qualified teachers and school personnel and exercising leadership which will keep the Gary schools abreast of the latest and best educational practices. As the man responsible for the general supervision of all the city ' s schools, the superintend¬ ent is also expected to keep the board and the gen¬ eral public informed about school achievements and school problems. Alden H. Blakenship Superintendent of Gary Schools Paul N. Carlson Principal of Horace Mann School Friendly co-operation and guidance are two traits displayed daily to Horace Mann students by Mr. Carlson and Mr. Mart as they go about their duties. The pair have an endless list of responsi¬ bilities they must perform to secure the smooth running of the school. These responsibilities fall into two groups — those which are purely mechanical and those which involve personal contact with the students. Keep ing attendance records, registering students, plan¬ ning the school budget and sending transcripts of grades to colleges and employers are a few which fall into the former category. More closely related to the students themselves are the jobs of supervis¬ ing extra-curricular activities, promoting school spirit, and dealing with problems of students. The jobs of principal and assistant principal of Horace Mann are very demanding. The school is fortunate to have two such capable men as Mr. Carlson and Mr. Mart to fill the positions. Coupled with a devoted and efficient faculty, they form a fine staff which consistently maintains the high standards which have made Horace Mann a very fine school. Palmer E.

HELEN BECK Before coming to Horace Mann Miss Beck had taught in a variety of schools ranging from country school to Evanston High School. For several years she served as principal of a school in Guateurala where she learned to speak Spanish fluently orace Mann pup ii s i n Miss Beck ' s classes find that learning a foreign language is not so impossibly difficult as they had imagined. Long before there was a language lao- oratory, her classes were studying Spanish with lingraphline records and making up dialogues to give them practice in speaking Spanish. Miss Beck constantly encourages and stimulates her pupils to improve by planning a variety of projects which help them and by showing a sincere personal interest in each one. An informal friendly atmosphere per¬ vades her class room with its colorful murals of life in South America. , , , For many years a flourishing Pan American club existed at Horace Mann under her sponsorship. The organization exchanged school projects and letters with South American Schools, made donations of books to some school. For these and other similiar activities in promoting inter-American friendship the local group received several awards from the National organization. Outside of school Miss Beck has a range of hobbies such as photography, leather work, and cooking in the Cordon Blew level She is very active in church work and worked in Sunday School of the Presbyterian Church. Her interest in Spanish, too, presided beyond school hours. She has trans¬ lated pamphlets on health and sanitation for Spanish speak- ing newcomers to the United States and she also acted as vol- unteer interpreter for visitors during Spanish American games in Chicago. Miss Beck is looking forward to her retirement when she will have leisure to pursue her hobbies to travel, and to en¬ joy her friends. OLIVE GREENSFELDER In every high school there seem to be a few teachers whom the pupils regard as the one you just have to have before you graduate. ' ' At Horace Mann, Miss Greensfelder is one of these. Her warm personality, her wide range of interests, plus her exacting class room standards make her an interest¬ ing person to know. Her main teaching ambition in addition to instruction in English lies in making pupils learn how to study and how to think for themselves. At Horace Mcrnn, her chief interest has centered in the pupils themselves. She gives outside time to those who need help and is always ' will¬ ing to discuss with a pupil his future plans or personal prob- Since 1932 she has been sponsor of the Horace Manual and has helped it survive during a number of different crises. Miss Greensfelder has been active in various community projects and clubs, both in Gary and her home community. After retiring she hopes to have opportunity to spend time in community service, and also in studying and traveling. OTTO Some will remember him surrounded by rattling presses in print shop; others will think of him as the witty advisor for Mann-U-Script. _ _ . . , , In addition to teaching boys printing, Mr. Reismg s shops turned out a large volume of printed material both for the Gary schools and for various student organizations at Horace Mann. He was interested in young people, and became to many of his pupils a friend as well as a teacher. He had pa¬ tience but demanded accuracy and would not tolerate slop- piness nor abuse of type and equipment. Boys learned spell¬ ing and punctuation along with setting type, caring for the presses, and running off clean proofs. He was a good teach¬ er and many of his pupils have made a career of printing. As one of the sponsors of Mann-U-Script in its infancy, Mr. REISING Reising did much to help establish this activity. It was he who first conceived the idea of the Talent Parade. This ven¬ ture has proved both popular, and successful financially. In addition to his interest in his family (all of whom are HM graduates) his hobby is writing. He has had several short stories and one novel published. At present he is writing another — with a Civil War background. Mr. Reising is a member of the Midland Author ' s Associa¬ tion. In Gary he has been active in the Friends of the Gary Public Library Association, and is sponsor of a boy ' s club. After his retirement, Mr. Reising hopes to continue his writing and also to indulge in his other hobbies — traveling, fishing, and hunting. HAZEL Miss Widener ' s room always has a distinct personality. Usually her window sills are filled with a variety of plants. Colorful bulletin boards, changed frequently, are instructive as well as attractive. Numerous pupil projects and examples of pupil ' s classroom work are often exhibited. Miss Widener has long delighted seventh and eighth grade Social Studies pupils. She is warm and friendly, usual¬ ly smiling and cheerful, Pupils enjoy her quiet sense of humor. While she is exacting as a teacher, she also is patient and helpful. Somehow she makes history seem alive and concerned with real people even when it happened a hundred years ago. Bright students find her a stimulating teacher, other pupils appreciate her patient willingness to repeat ma- MISS When Miss Winter came to Horace Mann she taught music in the grade school auditorium. Later she became teacher of choral music in high school. She originated and taught for many years two music courses — history of music and music appreciation. u ., One of the most popular organizations at Horace Mann, the Choral Club, came into existence under her leadership. This lively group has always been in great demand as en¬ tertainers for both school and community affairs. For years the club produced operas, gave concerts, and Christmas pro¬ grams, and choralramas varying its programs in accordance with the interests of the current group. Miss Winter was an excellent music teacher who managed to make her pupils expect high standards of performance of themselves. She encouraged originality and creativeness, WIDENER terial until they understand it. Although she plans various projects for her classes, she also encourages them to work out their own ideas. Outside of school Miss Widener is almost as busy as she is in school. Her recreational interests include reading, blit¬ ting, creating things with her hands, and, as she says, just about everything, In addition she is very interested in in¬ ternational affairs and is an active member of her church. A summer cottage and boat capture the center of her attention during summer vacation. After leaving Horace Mann, Miss Widener hopes to work as librarian in her home town library. Later plans include travel, with possibly a trip around the world. WINTER was generous in giving individual help to pupils who asked for it, and had an unusual degree of patience with adolescents and their problems. Her classes enjoyed her enthusiasm and genial humor. Many of the former pupils are active in various musical organizations on an avocational basis. Others who have made music their career are appreciative of the fine founda¬ tion which she helped them acquire. Three years ago for reasons of health Miss Winter gave up her work with Choral Club and has since been teaching music in Junior High. After retiring, Miss Winter has many interests to keep her busy. A loyal patron of the theatre, she also enjoys co oking, collecting china, entertaining people in her home, and above all travelling. Aratomir ICifa in thr ICaboratnrtj UJnrlii Affairs IFnnun The World Affairs Forum is a group of students who meet once a month to discuss topics of general world interest. The group consists of forty students — five from each of the eight Gary high schools. Of the five students from each school, three are seniors and two are juniors. Two of the juniors are chosen by the social studies faculty of their school, and the third is chosen at the end of the year on the basis of a test. Once a student becomes a member of the forum, he remains part of the group until he has graduated. The meetings of the World Affairs Forum are held at dif¬ ferent schools each month. Students discuss trouble spots, such as Berlin and Cuba; underdeveloped areas, such as Latin America and Southeast Asia, and other global topics, such as ihe technicalities of international law. Members of the forum read newspapers and periodicals avidly to prepare for these discussions. Thus, participating in the group makes them constantly aware of current events, politics, and the world situation. WORLD AFFAIRS FORUM Standing — Robert Galler, Rae Hague. Seated—Bess Miller, Marjorie Chenoweth, Arnie Coons The Joe Berg Advanced Study Program is an extra curricular community activity designed to provide ex¬ tended educational experiences in the sciences and hu¬ manities for academically talented students in the local high schools. Participation in the program is limited to juniors and seniors. Applicants are expected to have and to main¬ tain a scholarship average of at least B for their high school courses. Admission is based on results of ability and achievement tests, interest in the program, recom- HU ' nj mendations of school personnel, and performance on an aptitude test administered to all applicants under the supervision of the admissions committee. Once a stu¬ dent is admitted to the program he remains a member until he graduates. The juniors and seniors who participate in the pro¬ gram are given the opportunity to widen their horizons in such fields as literature, biology, chemistry, mathe¬ matics, and psychology.

The selection of membership in the societies is made on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. All members must have an academic average of B, two semesters ' attendance at Horace Mann, and the approval of the faculty. Any freshman or sophomore student who meets these requirements is admitted to the Junior Honor Society, which takes in new members each January. The group is entirely honorary, and does not engage in any activities. The national organization limits the number who can be admitted to the Senior Honor Society each year. Ap¬ proximately five per cent of the junior class and approx¬ imately fifteen per cent of the senior class are admitted. The duty of t he junior members is to carry out the busi¬ ness of the society during their senior year; the senior members are honored at graduation. Throughout this year the members of the Senior Honor Society and Friel, their sponsor, gathered for a number of at random discussion sessions. Since the format of these meetings was not prearranged, members could discuss anything they wished. Topics ranged from art, music, and religion to current events, social problems, and progress in the future. The at random discussions constituted the major part of the honor society ' s activities. Other meetings were taken up with preparation for the annual induc¬ tion of new members which took place in May.

Pupils who come in contact with these germs are likely to show various symptoms. Some work endless hours building scenery or making pep meeting signs; others practice musical scales, rehearse for operas or run track. As a rule such symptoms persist for three or four years.

At this time I would like to make a judgment on that. Throughout the 1962-63 school year, the members of your student governmental body have done a most admirable job in carrying out their various activities. My secretary is now passing out to you a list of the various activities sponsored by the student council and of their committees. Let us now turn to this list: Dinner in the fall for sponsors and student council members. Annual Holiday Ball in Hotel Gary ' s Crystal Ballroom. S.O.S. Week.

(girls CCIith Hi! My name is Celeste and I ' m a little girl germ. I ' ve heard that the Horace Mann ' s Girls ' Club is for ev¬ ery girl and I ' m anxious to see if we germs could have one like it. Hey look! This is how they set up the year ' s activities: I Mixer I Flavor-making party I Christmas Tea I Twirp Week I Senior Banquet -|- All high school girl germs The Germsville Girls ' Club The first event of the year was the Mixer which was held in the girls ' gym. The freshmen girls were intro¬ duced to their big sisters , or the upper classmen. By wearing cloth shaped like mittens, the freshmen hunted for their upperclass sisters with the matching patch. Say, that sounds pretty cute! I wonder what they did after that? Oh yes, here it is. After the “hunt the girls sat back and enjoyed a number of skits put on by the Board and Council members. After enjoying cake and strawberry punch, the mixer was over. Say, our girl germs will have to do that, too. Let me write that down. First event. Mixer.

Let s see, what happened next. A favor-making par¬ ty? It was in the cafeteria for the purpose of m akin g Thanksgiving favors for the children in Methodist Hos¬ pital. The girls chatted and cut, ate cookies and pasted, until over one hundred fifty paper turkeys had been assembled. The next holiday event was a Christmas Tea for the girls and the faculty. Entertainment was provided by the members of the faculty. Oh, dear! I don ' t see how we can do that — none of our teachers can carry a tune! Oh, well. Anyway, money or canned food was collected from the girls that attended, in order to help make brighter a needy fam¬ ily ' s Christmas. From the looks of this event, Twirp Week seems to have been the biggest occasion of the year. In March, the girls took on all the tasks of the boys which included sharpening pencils and carrying the boys ' books. Then to mark the week, girls wore different color combina¬ tions: black on Monday, red and white on Wednesday, and class colors on Friday. Tuesday, the girls wore bows and knee socks, and Thursday they wore outland¬ ish combinations of plaids and stripes to show their rebellious spirit. A sock-hop in the middle of the week gave the women a chance to ask their secret crushes to dance. Climaxing the week ' s events was the Turnabout, “Southern Rendez-vous . The gym blossomed out into a southern garden adorned with weeping wil¬ lows and flowers, with a mural showing a plantation in the background. As the couples danced to the music of Allan Isley ' s orchestra, the mood of the South became more realistic, for they could hear the rippling of the water coming from a three-tiered fountain. The dance proved highly successful. The board found itself with a shortage of tickets for the affair. I wonder if they do anything for the seniors. Yes, they did. They had a potluck in the spring. A gala affair, too. Well, I ' m certainly glad I read this because it gives me some pretty good ideas for my germ club! HunatFr (Elub After a germ infected a cheerleader with school spirit, the disease spread rapidly among members of the Booster Club who in turn passed it on to the remain¬ der of the student body. Symptoms of the disease began with the enthusiasm over the homecoming game, follow¬ ed by fever over the crowning of the homecoming queen. Preparations started with assigning members to com¬ mittees, ordering crepe paper and mums. The crape paper was also used to decorate the girls ' gym for the dance, Gilroy Field for the game, and cars for the caravan. This spirit of enthusiasm lasted well through¬ out the athletic season and during countless pep meetings. The epidemic of school spirit, however, reached its crisis with the coronation of the senior kings and queens. At the dance hearts, cupids, and posters that represented various categories adorned the walls of the gym. The night ended with Booster Club members in a state of exhaustion. In March the dormant fever was aroused by the Who ' s Who Dinner. This dinner is given every year by Social Committee and Booster Club for the presidents and sponsors of all organizations. The entertainment. Choral Club, and the theme, Dutch Treat were ar¬ ranged by Booster Club. By May school spirit had flared-up with Booster Club sponsored cheerleading tryouts. On the night of May 27th at lackson ' s Restaurant, all the members of Booster Club relaxed and ate a full course meal after recovering from their attack of chronic school spirit. r : Delayne Noak, Vice President; Joan Henderson, Treasurer; f Winslow, Secretary; Cathy Jones, Judy Anderson.

Today our foreign club coun¬ cil will address us. First we shall hear from our Latin delegate. Cicero: I, Cicero, seize this opportunity to expound on the activities of the S.P.Q.R., better known as Latin Club. It must first be understood that only those stu¬ dents taking Latin are permitted to join (although a few others tried to sneak in). Pres.: Alright, Cic., cut the oration and get on with the club ' s activities. Cicero: Yes, sir. One of the first activities of Latin Club is a slave auction. Pres.: A what?!? A slave auction?! My goodness, Cic., you don ' t mean to say that -- Cicero: __Oh hold on and let me explain. The slaves are those people wishing to join our club. They are actually auctioned off to the old members. The slaves must serve their masters for one week by carry¬ ing books, sharpening pencils, opening doors. The slaves also prepare food and serve it to their masters at a Roman banquet, which is held at the end of the week. If the slave has survived his period of servitude, he is inducted into Latin Club during the banquet. Je ne comprend pas. Get your foot off my togal Die Deutsche! cmpabctbyume Je ne comprend pas. Die Deutsche! ((). 1 . Pres:. Still sounds as if we need to investigate these slaves! Cicero:. But that ' s not all we do, Mr. President. This year the Latin Club had the honor of being host to the City Latin Convention in February. Latin students en¬ joyed seeing the skits about Latin life and singing songs in Latin. The highlight of the convention came when the students talked with professional men representing sev¬ eral different vocations for which a knowledge of Latin is important. A Toga Hop ended the convention for an¬ other year. Pres.: A real swingin ' ceremonial dance, eh Cicero. Thank you. You may sit down. Cicero: Don ' t interrupt me! I ' m not finished talking. Besides attending the city convention, our Latin Club plans to send representatives to the National Latin Con¬ vention held in Lawrence, Kansas, this summer. To end the year, the club held a banquet at Jackson ' s Restaurant. Pres.: My; busy, busy, busy! Where ' s the cash for these activities? We have no funds here. Cicero: Well, besides having dues, the club sold taffy apples. This was very successful. We also sold school pennants. Pres.: Thank you, Cicero. For a dead language, these Romans sound very much alive! S.P.Q.H.

Shultzy: Let me introduce myself — I ' m Shultzy, the German germ. The laboratory is my home. But in place o ftest tubes, racks of bottles, and Bunsen Burners, I have installed microphones, booths, and tape recorders. Many Horace Mann students come to my laboratory to learn the German language. I give them all a bit of the German germ. So I have organized all my guests into a German through which they are able to learn not only about the language, but about the country and the peo¬ ple of Germany as well. Pres.: Good work, Shultzy boy. But what about your colleagues? Shultzy: Well, in September the eighty members of the club held their annual banquet. I really felt at home when they transformed the cafeteria into a German Rathskeller for the potluck dinner. The entertainment consisted of a skit by the first year German students and the singing and playing of German songs by the rest of the students. Pres.: Sounds gemutlich! Please tell us more. Shultzy: Then in February the members of my club had a used book sale. They collected volumes of every subject and sold the books in the Junior Library. The sale lasted two days. They were all so grateful to me (ahem) for organizing them into the German Club (ahem), that they used the money from the book sale to present me with a token of their appreciation (ahem) — a new tape for my laboratory. Also to raise money for other activities, the Club held a dance later in the year. Pres.: Thank you, Shultzy. My, you have been kept quite busy for such a mite of a germ.

Flippy, he ' s wanted this report for a long time, sighed Zippy. ”1 would have sent it earlier, said the little germ, but ever since I fell out of that test tube in the hospital laboratory I haven ' t been feeling quite up to par. Zippy ' s virus-like little eyes scanned the report care¬ fully. My goodness — regular invasion of germs at¬ tacking HM athletes. Yep — they ' re all here — courage, determination, agility, sportsmanship. Football team first to succumb: reports from coaches — Don Elser, H.P.F. (Head Professor of Football), Douglas Oppman A.P.F. (Assistant Professor of Football ). Season record: six victories and three defeats. Conference standing of sec¬ ond. Ah, it looks very good so far but I ' d better check up on each of the games. Game No. 1: HM vs. Crown Point. Final score HM 49, Crown Point 20. Comments: Rapid Richie Dilling scores four times on way to city scoring title; Bruce Pat Moutaw converts seven straight extra points. Game No. 2: HM vs. Lew Wallace. Final score: HM 26, Lew Wallace 20. Comments: Horsemen make fine comeback after being down twice in the ball game; Dill¬ ing continues scoring rampage as Houk ' s signal calling and Owen ' s fine running pace Horsemen. A truly amazing start, commented Zippy, as he read two more H-Men victories; a 27-12 defeat of Valpo and a 20-19 squeaker over Tolleston ' s talented Raiders. Then Game No. 5: HM vs Hammond. Final score: Hammond 28, HM 0. Comment: The future mythical state champions were not to be denied that night as the HM attack sputtered all night. Their first loss and after such a beautiful beginning, but all good things must come to an end sometime, ended Zippy. Then he read on. The H-Men disappointed him again as an aroused band of Panthers from Roosevelt upset Elser ' s boys by a 26-25 count. “Oh, no, moaned Zippy, but he read on. Game No. 7: HM vs. Edison. Final score: HM 26, Edison 0. Comments: Coach Elser brought his charges to Gilroy that night to win and the team did just that, With a tremendous second half surge the West-side team powered the Blazers as the score indicates. Then he read as the H-Men split their next two games; losing to arch rival Emerson 26-13 and swamping the Blue Devils of Froebel 27-0. Final Analysis: An excellent rebuilding year for Elser and Oppman; Dilling wins scoring title with amazing 108 points; Moutaw wins conversions crown. Finally, with only three returning starters, the coaches have molded a fine football team which was truly representa¬ tive of Horace Mann.

Flippy knew that if he didn ' t explain everything perfect¬ ly to his friend, neither of them would get any sleep that night, so he started. “For the past few months I ' ve been traveling in the medical kit, as you know. Where the team went, I fol¬ lowed hidden in the kit, began Flippy. Quite a few of us infected the team at one time or another. “All right, so go on with the basketball games, insist¬ ed Zippy. Well, this year the team sported a much-improved 6-16 mark, continued Flippy. “It could have been even better for Coach Hobbs ' crew fo rthey lost five games by just seven points or even less, remarked Flippy.

Not just scores — some real dope on the games, demanded Zippy. Well, for their first victory of the year against Wal¬ lace, the Horsemen put together a fine team effort to bring home a winning score; then in the Hammond-Tech game a promising junior. Ion Dimitri, won the game on a last seconds basket after Jack Strang had pumped in two clutch field goals to bring the H-Men within striking distance. The team ' s leading scorer, Larry Owen, dis¬ played his basketball abilities many times; in a Holiday Tourney game against Froebel the peppery Mann guard hit for 29; and he hit 23 against the Trojans of Chesterton. Then in a long awaited victory against Emerson—Owen, Strang, and Maurer — all hit in double figures to give the team a well-deserved victory. Finally in the sec¬ tionals H.M. was pitted against Hobart. The boys were down by one point with just a minute to go. They froze the ball until the final fifteen seconds when Owen hit a 25-foot jumper to win it. Some excitement, I tell you. Not too bad — our friends, Perseverance and Pep, must have infected this team, for sure, concluded Zippy.

Bramattr Club Dear Diary, I ' m glad to have the dramatic season under way. We O ' Neils have always been theatre buffs and I love lurk¬ ing on a secenery flat where I can be on stage most of the time. This year there ' s a fine group of Thespians and I can see that the ' ll have plenty of grease paint in their blood. Once bitten by an O ' Neil germ no one ever recovers 1 Dear Diary, As usual, Miss Gorrell has started the year out with a bang! Major productions on scenery, costumes, and properties made way for the Junior Class Play, Time Out for Ginger. It upsets my whole life. I just barely missed being squashed by amateur carpenters, and I never get any peace and quiet because rehersals last so long and Ipds work on scenery until 7 and 8 o clock at night. But I love it! If everyone would only learn their lines. I can ' t say I approve of all the colors the boys are using on the scenery, either. Dear Diary, I am unhappy! That ol’familiar Bah, humbug! is going to be presented again. Not that I don ' t like Scrooge , you understand, but you ' d think that Dra¬ matic Club would want to try a new one. Well, anyway, the production turned out to be a great success. I only hope that the Drama Club recovers in time to enjoy Christmas. Dear Diary, What fun! Dramatic Club just couldn ' t wait, so it is immediately starting the senior class play, The Heiress ' Again, I go through the misery of having my home ru¬ ined by paint, nails, and huge scenery flats. But these Senior Thespians are good; I enjoy having them around. With all their gossip and fooling, they do a lot of work. Fine results, enthusiastic audience reception. Good Cast Party! Dear Diary, Guess what? Dramatic club is doing another play. This time, it ' s Shakespeare ' s Midsummer ' s Night Dream Real theatre at last! Dear Diary, I ' m so excited! Dramatic Club is through; but tryouts were held and the club took in some pretty good new members. Now all I hear is banquet — banquet! Everyone is buzzing about awards and new Thespians. Oh well, I ' ll miss the excitement but I can rest up until September. Loretta O ' Neil Mortal (Unmmittrp Hi! My name is Jackie. I ' m a social germ. I love to go to parties, and banquets. I also love to plan them. That ' s why I ' m an unofficial member of the Horace Mann Social Committee. I can go to all its activities without being noticed. Let me take you on a touru of the social calendar of this past year: FALL: Social Committee sponsored Rose Day. Rose colors varied according to classes. WINTER: During the Christmas season, Social Com¬ mittee made holiday corsages for all the faculty. SPRING: Booster Club and Social Committee jointly sponsored the Who ' s Who Dinner — at this dinner all sponsors and representatives or presidents of every school organization were recognized. Social Committee was in charge of the menu and invitations. Social Committee planned a tentative school calendar for next year so that each organization has a date for a money-making activity. Social Committee had a farewell dinner at Jackson ' s Restaurant. The menu included steak, shrimp, and fish. FALL-WINTER-SPRING: Social Committee is respon¬ sible for the passing of all petitions for extra curricular activities such as class open- houses and dances. All pe¬ titions must be turned in with the proper amount of chap¬ erones in order to be voted upon and passed by Social Committee. My, quite a calendar, don ' t you think? This shows what an important organization Social Committee is. Swimming Oh, my eyes,” moaned Flippy, this chlorine really hurts them. “I thought you would be used to this after your ad¬ ventures in the chemistry laboratory,” sputtered Zippy. It ' s easy for you to say that. You ' ve been down here for the last three months watching the swimming team. By the way, what can you say for them? Are they really swimmers? Well, sighed Zippy, they had an impressive seven and four record for the whole year. I did a good job infecting them. So, so, replied Flippy, but what about the real tests — the city and state contests? Four the fourth year (consecutive) they won the city swim meet and even sent a team to compete in the state finals, so there! ’Well, did you and your team set any new records? Oh, yes, senior Bob Croll, junior Kip Sullivan and sophomore Glenn Tuel each set new city records in two different events, retorted Zippy. Coach Carnahan ' s boys must really have had a fine team. They represented Horace Mann well, wherever they swam, ended Flippy, “with a third in the WNIHSC and fourth in the IHSAA sectionals.

(Let us now eavesdrop on some of the female germs) Olympia: Gee, am I ever tired! Alta: What the matter with you? You look as if you had just been sprayed with Raid! Olympia: Oh, cool your antennae! I ' ve just finished playing two tremendous volleyball games. That G.A.A. is really great! Alta: G.A.A.? What ' s that? Olympia: Oh, let me tell you all about it. Alta: O.K. Sit down first before you fall. Olympia: G.A.A. — all sport after sport. Softball started this year. All freshmen who wanted to join G.A.A. had to earn their points. These new members were inducted into G.A.A. in October. At that time swimming, bowling, and wallball were in session. Alta: Bay, you started things hopping early in the year. Olympia: We get along quite well with Wallace ' s G.A.A. Later in the year, the officers and the council members of both the Horace Mann and Lew Wallace G.A.A. ' s went into Chicago to see the Ice Capades — to watch someone else exercise. Then the Horace Mann and Wallace G.A.A. ' s combined for their annual Christ¬ mas dinner. This was held at Ambridge Methodist Church and was a success with the added feature of a live Santa Claus, played by Judy Anderson, G.A.A. sports-coordinator. Alta: What about basketball? That ' s my favorite. Olympia: I ' m coming to that. With the winners of the wallball tournament, we immediately started our basket¬ ball session which is a favorite of the girls because the teams are arranged according to grades. This year the sophomores walked away with the trophies. During the basketball season there was also a tournament in bowling. Alta: It makes me tired just to listen to all that exer¬ cise! What comes after basketball? Olympia: After the completion of the basketball season, we started volleyball. After volleyball we play baseball, badminton, and tennis. Alta: What do you have at the end of the year? Any energy left? Olympia: We have a wonderful time at our oamp-out at Dunes State Park. At the camp-out we determine the fitness of girls from both HM and LW by holding con¬ tests which range from wheel-barrowing, clothes-change, egg throwing and, sack races to volleyball and baseball games. After these skirmishes the school with the ma¬ jority of points wins the Old Oak ' n Bucket. Perhaps the greatest tension packed time for the girls comes at the banquet when the names of outstanding freshmen, soph¬ omores, juniors, and seniors are announced. After the shouts of joy and the tears of disappointment are past, everyone becomes quiet. Now the names of next year ' s officers are announced, (yawn) The night is usually ended with skits, movies, or some surprise. Alta: Where does the money for this camp-out come from? Olympia: (yawn) We sold candy turtles, and held a bake sale and . . . a . . . car . . . wash (yawn). Alta: This sounds like one of the busiest and most energetic organizations at H.M..

The group was chatting busily about the experiences they had had. Suddenly one of their old friends, ' ' Bing, burst into the room, let out one long groan, and collapsed to the floor exhausted and out of breath. My goodness, where have you been? they chorused. Choral Club, came the feeble reply. Well, what happened there? Did they spray you with insecticide or something? Oh no, it was nothing like that. I just decided to settle for the year in the throat of one of the members. Little did I know then that the members of Choral Club keep their vocal chords in almost constant use. You must have had quite a year! Why don ' t you tell us about it? All right, said Bing, “I ' ll start right from the first note. At first things were wonderful. Before I even had to sing I went to a potluck dinner. All the members there really had a wonderful time. The new officers were in¬ stalled and a skit was put on by a few of the singers. Then later in the fall it started — the endless singing. The members put on the first show of the school year, A Touch of Heaven. It included many different types of songs, as well as various scenes from the Broadway hit My Fair Lady. Throughout the winter, the Choral Club engaged in a variety of functions. Singing in the Christmas pageant in school and caroling at the hospital and throughout the city were just a few of the first ones. Then later it sang at the Who ' s Who Dinner, Junior Honor Society Induction and at several PTA meetings. “When spring finally came, I thought the members were, at long last, through singing. But, to my dismay, they had been saving their best creation for last. Week after week they practiced for the performance of Annie Get Your Gun. When the show wen on, the students, faculty, and parents fervently hailed the marvelous per¬ formance. But I was ready to collapse. In fact, the night the show closed, I almost came back here. But just as I was about to leave, I heard some of the mem¬ bers talking about their next function, the annual Choral Club Banquet. So I decided to try to last till then. But I couldn ' t miss out on singing at the Music Festival at Memorial Auditorium. So I sang there. Then I turned intellectual and sang at the Student Council and Senior Honor Society inductions. Then I decided to go ahead and finish the year by singing at Recognition Day, Bac¬ calaureate, and Commencement. I must add that the so¬ loists at Baccalaureate were Betty Armfield, Ken Ervin, and Wayne Roach. Well, I made it — but it certainly wasn ' t easy. I ' m pooped, and I never want to sing a note again in my life!

Sometimes Mr. Huffman, our director, plays my violin, but usually he just directs the orchestra — beautifully, of course. My, but my violin got warm this year from all the practicing and per¬ forming we did. He played for the Junior and Senior plays, for Annie Get Your Gun, the district and state contests, the Edison-Horace Mann joint con¬ cert, the Shriners Convention and the Social Studies Council Meeting — whew! — not to mention trio performances at the Women ' s Club, Ambridge Church, and the Glen Park Presbyterian Church. I forgot the quartet and trio performance with the Ambridge Community Club, and our playing for com¬ mencement. The highlight of the year was our annual spring concert. For this concert, the orchestra played a wide variety of numbers. Bob Stephen was featured as violin soloist. Boy, those appearances meant hard work, but the good concerts we put on were more than worth it. Top row: Joann Miner, Bob Stephen, Raymond Rawley, Karen Crosby, Richard Dor¬ sey, Ken Schoon.

He began, The Projection Club, consisting of about thirty boys, is set up to provide the school with audio-visual aid. It ' s primary function is to provide projectors and operators for the showing of movies and filmstrips. But through the recently acquired opaque and overhead projectors they can now show students ' essays, books, magazine articles and other printed matter on movie screens Another service the Projection Club provides is its dry mounting service. By this process news clippings, pictures, and articles are mounted for display, neatly and impressively. Many of these new services have been made possible by the expansion in the department that took place this year. A larger room was acquired to house the department and plans for the future include a teacher ' s work area and an expanded service area in this room. Well, that ' s about all you need to know for now boys. If any of you are interested in joining the Projection Club, just sign this paper on my desk a tthe end of the hour. With that the teacher sat down and the boys went back to work. Audie turned to Vissie and excitedly said, “Come on, let ' s go sign that paper. This is for me! Ham germ, operator from Germville, Indi¬ ana, wiring Germtown Germany. I wish to tell you electronic hip germs the latest Horace Mann Electron Club facts. Herr electron bug germ wiring Indiana. Tell me first though, what is the purpose of the Electron Club? To stimulate interest in electrons, Mr. Valen¬ ti, club sponsor, supplies the boys with in¬ teresting electronic information. Have they heard of our interesting electron club in Germany? We, last year, short- circuited the Soviet War Memorial in West Berlin. The Horace Mann Electron Club doesn ' t do things like that. Its work is constructive. It does the lighting for all of Horace Mann ' s dances. The lighting specialty, this year, was the over-center lights at all Horace Mann dances. Also many of the members are excellent ham radio operators. Who knows, some¬ day when we germs invent the radio, may¬ be we ' ll be able to talk to those silly hu¬ mans through it.

I hope you have brought back good news, said the Chief Director. If not, your head will roll in antibiotics. Agent 2046890 started to quiver frantically. “I, I, I ' m sorry sir, he managed to peep out. But it would be best for us germs if our Horace Mann invasion plans were to be canceled. For you see, sir, my spying mission has shown the school not to be susceptible to accidents and fatalities, which some of us germs are so skilled in providing. But why is this so? the chief Director bellowed. ' What can give a mere high school immunity to Germ- land ' s greatest invasion forces? Quivering frightfully Germ 2046890 glumly said, Sir, it ' s on account of the Patrol Boys. The Patrol Boys, murmured the Director, Who are they? They are the ones who skillfully prevent mishaps at school crossings. So what? We can still invade whenever the Patrol Boys seem to be in a negligent mood. But sir, you don ' t understand. For neither snow, nor rain, nor heat can put the Patrol Boys into a lax mood. And at scheduled meetings, Coach Hobbs, Patrol Boy sponsor, often reminds the boys of their responsibilities and duties. Well, I must say, though you have brought us sad news, you, nevertheless, have done Germland a great service in so doing. Perhaps as great a service as per¬ formed by those, ah, Patrol Boys.

(ElifHH (Elub In the background, we can hear two germs talking over the telephone. Their names are Pawnie and Rookie. Let ' s see what they are talking about. Pawnie: Hello, Rookie? This is Pawnie. Say, did you hear about the Horace Mann Chess Club? Rookie: No, what about them. Are they sick with Chessitis? Pawnie: Really, Rookie, it ' s the most amazing thing. Having been organized for only a year, the Chess Clubbers had a record of three victories and no defeats. Rookie: Oh, yes, I heard about that team. Isn ' t Mr. William Stern the coach of the team?. I believe Mr. John Friel also assists him. I must say, that team certainly has an impressive record. Who is on the team? Pawnie: Well, if I remember correctly Nick Grub- nich (captain), Oghjan Virijevich, Roger Sullivan, Phil Wilson, Steve Friedman, and Larry Brasil compose the team. Rookie: What other teams did they play? Pawnie: The scores were like this: HM—51 2 Lew Wallace—1 2 HM—8 Froebel—4 In a triangular meet, HM won aagin: HM—10 V2 Froebel—41 2 Wallace—31 2 Rookie: Say, what do those numbers mean? Pawnie: The scoring goes like this: One point for a win, 1 2 point for a draw; and 0 for a loss. The team with the most points wins. R°°ki e: Boy, a chess match sounds interesting. Oh, Oh! I have to get off the phone. Glad chess germs are active at H.M. again.

If 144m iflrrtH ahr HrpBtling (l rarn Flippy prowled about the locker room until he be¬ came sleepy then crawled into his favorite hole in a first- aid kit. He was awakened by violent jogging up and down. Where was that officious manager taking him? As the kit was propped open he saw what appeared to be wrestling. Very good. A new field for sports germs! Frankly, most of this type of sport was new to Flippy since he had not been accustomed to high school wres¬ HM Opponent 25 Wirt 23 19 Emerson 33 13 Tolleston 41 26 Merriville 13 18 Marion 38 13 Roosevelt 39 tling buff. This new type of wrestling greatly interested him and he watched with scientific interest. From the time the referee said Ready, wrestle to the end of the match Flippy followed Horace Mann zealously. Well, this was one sport he would have ot learn more about. According to locker room chit chat of the managers, Horace Mann had had a varied season. The boys, however, enjoyed themselves Flippy observed. HM Opponent 19 Andrean 27 10 Edison 40 36 Lew Wallace 5 6 Valparaiso 40 11 Hammond Morton 37 18 Highland 30 JFlipjnj Siarmipra apmtia Back and forth went Flippy ' s neck as he watched one of the Horace Mann tennis team ' s matches with an opposing school. Flippy was so intrigued by this game that when he arrived back home in his Petri dish in the laboratory he took out his athletic encyclopedia and be¬ came an expert on the game. Upon consult¬ ing with Zippy he also found that under Coach Kay the team this year had won the city title along with Tolleston, a feat that has not been accomplished too often at the west side school.

M v nj ( nlf Expert FORE, yelled Flippy as he teed off on the first hole of his laboratory golf course. This unique course was ound on a desk in the physics lab which had various obstacles con¬ sisting of ammeters, analytical balances, and pith balls and which Flippy used as an im¬ promptu golf course. After shooting a ridic¬ ulously high score Flippy found his way back to his home in the Petri dish where he and Zippy reminisced about the Horace Mann golf team of 1963. Both followed the team to ob¬ serve the effects of the germ invasion. A num¬ ber of boys seemed to have succumed. Well the team this year had three return¬ ing lettermen, said Flippy, there was Ar¬ nie Coons, Jim Maurer, and junior Pete Fogo. Don ' t forget the other boys. There was Tom Mullins, Todd Clark, and J. Johnson, re¬ marked Zippy. That ' s right and with Coach Carnahan ' s assistance the team managed a .500 record in their first four engagements. The boys thoroughly trounced Roosevelt and Tolleston while losing by close scores to Hammond and Valparaiso, ' ' ended Flippy. We can ' t put in the final record because our report has to be in May 1, replied Zippy, so that ' s it.

Jfaurimi (Elub Dear Sis, I have just seen a most frightening sight! I was pass¬ ing by the west gym when I heard what I thought was the slashing of swords. Well, being scared to death of any sort of weapon, I decided to investigate, and what do you think I found out? What I saw was the H.M. Fencing Club at practice. Can you imagine that! A club of twenty members with, with—swords! Well, at this point I let out a scream because I thought a duel was going on. One of my friends was there and he came up to me and asked me what the matter was. So I told him. He just laughed. After I calmed down, I was told a little about this club. Fencing Club started off the year with two months of practice. Their first meet was with Notre Dame. Then they fenced the Indiana University team. Other meets included those with Niles Township, Saint Mel ' s, and Culver. To end the year, Fencing Club had a party in May. Well, I must close now. I ' m going back to watch the rest of the practice. Love, Zoretta P.S. My friend says they ' re foils, not swords.

Germ: Well, sir, I ' m on the Co-op program. Truant officer: I thought that was on a farm. Germ: This is different, sir. Co-op is a special program to allow students to work and study at the same time. Really, sir, this program is under school supervision. It enables one to get on the job training to better pre¬ pare himself for the outside world. Truant officer: Where do you work? Germ: One can get work in an of¬ fice or a store. And, oh yes, in May we had a city-wide Co-op banquet at the Marquette Pavilion for our bosses. Truant officer: Well, please excuse me, little germ. I thought you were trying to skip school. Co-op is certain¬ ly a great experience for young peo¬ ple going into the business world. Bet¬ ter hurry before you ' re late for work. Germ: Thank you, sir. Good bye.

HaHpball Flippy Discusses The National Pasttime with Zippy. What ' s happened with our baseball squad this year? asked Flippy. Well as of this moment, said Zippy, they ' ve com¬ pleted only their warm-up games in preparation for the conference games. Very good, remarked Flippy, but how have they fared in these games? Do they need any new germs? “Extremely well, retorted Zippy, “they ' ve won 5, lost just one and tied one. Coach I. Elser ' s boys started with a bang as they clobbered Portage 9-0 and Dave Carlson picked up his first win of the year and Jonny Dimitri slugged a home run. They defeated Roosevelt 7-1 and Edison 8-4 as the Horace Mann pitchers and hitters jelled perfectly for winning combinations. Didn ' t they lose any games? asked Flippy. Oh, yes, said Zippy, against La Porte they lost one and tied one, but came back strong to defeat East Gary 6-2, and an all-out hitting binge with three Horace Mann home runs and 4-4 hitting by Moutaw concluded the warm-up games with a 17-8 massacre of Hobart. It looks like a good preparation, said Flippy, let ' s hope we can repeat this in our conference games and bring home the second W-NIHSC championship in three years. Only time will tell, ended Zippy. Hippy’s iSrpnrt (@n (Ernss (Ermtlry” Ah, there it is all finished, said Zippy. What Zippy had just finished was his laboratory report on the Cross Country at Horace Mann. Let ' s look it over with him as he proofreads it. Topic: Cross country, Horace Mann Team No. 990-C, I. Hobbs, coach. Purpose: The members of each team run a certain number of laps around the track. The team with the best times receives the low points and the team with the lowest number of total points wins. Results: Horsemen compile a mark of 6-5 in confer¬ ence and 6-7 overall total. A good improvement over last year ' s 4-11 mark. Comments: Iron Man Joe Delgado and Burley Curley Johnson lead team. Hobbs has many good juniors to take up slack next year. Well, it looks good, said zippy, I just hope those people at the Horace Mann Annual Staff will accept it.

ZIPPY VIEWS THE TRACK SQUAD One day while floating around in the air with nothing to do our athletic friend. Zippy, decided to visit the Horace Mann track team at one of their practices and see if it needed any help. Since he was a rabid sports fan he would naturally try to find out as much as possible about the team and how they had fared so far this year. Upon completing his visit, Zippy wrote up a report which ran as follows: 100 yd. dash ... John Kuchaes, Bill Levin, Rich Dilling 220 yd. dash .... John Kuchaes, Rich Dilling, Lynn Tomes 120 yd. high hurdles-Ray Wolfe, Ray Soto 880 yd. run -Bob Ridgley Mile run .

Subject: Horace Mann Track Team, coached by Don Elser. Members: Varsity members competing: Season performances: Richie Dilling posted :49.9 clocking in 440 for best time in state; Larry Owen broke 22 foot mark in the Hammond Relays but got only a second place ribbon; Jim Sullivan, a promising miler, runs 4:45 mile as a sophomore; Ridgley looks good in 880 as he nears two-minute mark; Tomes and Kuchaes pick up where Dilling leaves off in the dashes; Horsemen finish fourth in Conference indoor; with city, sectional and re¬ gional still to come the H-Men pose as threats in the 440 and mile relay with team of Bash, Ridgely, Tomes and Dilling; H-Men also provide winning year in dual meets with other schools. Thus ended Zippy ' s report on the track team which Horace Mann can be proud of.

She is typing some notes about the Mann-U-Script in the past year. This past year the M-U-S was bigger and better than ever before because of the insertion of advertisements and the Roto . Besides this, a new feature, Junior Highlights, was added. Also, more editorials were written and oh, yes, the cover has been extended. In fact, this year ' s M-U-S came within thirty points from being a first class paper. The editor of M-U-S appeared on Rebuttal twice. Representatives of M-U-S were sent to various jour¬ nalism conferences. Senior members were inducted into the Quill and Scroll. M-U-S sponsored a record dance in the fall. M-U-S, together with Speech Classes, had a most successful Talent Parade. Next year journalism classes will be started so that pupils wishing to try out for the staff will be required to take this course. Oops! She just stood up suddenly and here I am sitting on the floor. Well, I think you already know that the Mann-U-Script is one of the finest papers a school can have.

You have to get a theme immediately!” shouted the big green germ. This is how the Horace Manual begins every year. This same green germ invades the Annual Staff and infects them all with a strange disease called work. Some of the symptoms of this disease are taking pictures, doing write-ups, selling annuals, selling ads, and even selling fritos and potato chips. After the theme has finally been chosen, the green germ can be heard shouting, Aren ' t you finished with those write-ups yet? or “If we don ' t get everything sent out by the end of this week, you ' ll never get your annual by the end of school! A breather was taken on November 2 when the Annual Staff sponsored a record dance, the Annual Roundup. In the spring, the working disease is at its worst stage for the Annual Staffers. The green germ spreads its infection twice as fast until the very last page of the Manual is sent to the engraver. Then finally the Annual Staff can convalesce. And so the 1963 Horace Manual is finished. In this book, we have tried to recapture the highlights of this past year. Highlights such as pep meetings, plays. Talent Parade, Larry Gilstrap Week, dances, assemblies, and the Prom will be in the memories of each student. To the Senior this was his most important year. He has walked the halls of Horace Mann for the last time. We hope that the 1963 Horace Manual will keep memories alive for his last year at Horace Mann.
