Horace Mann High School - Horace Manual Yearbook (Gary, IN)

Page 13 text:

In the 60’s, teen-agers learned that times grow more difficult and that education is necessary for satis¬ factory achievement. Horace Mann School was an im¬ portant factor in the educating of many Gary youth. Located in the western section of the city, the insti¬ tution offered curricula for general and college preparatory students. Many friendships grew among faculty and students through the variety of classes offered at school. Extra-curricular activities brought groups of teen-agers closer together with one ideal: promise of fulfill¬ ment. Promise means opportunity- fulfillment means attainment. Every¬ one strove to attain; for this was accomplishment, success, fulfill¬ ment. Meeting of obligations in studies, attending or performing in football, basketball games, writing term papers or speaking French crowded the days. When the time came to choose be¬ tween social and serious moments, the choice was carefully made. Stu¬ dents wanted time to look and time to care, time to prove themselves as worthy persons. As new students enrolled at Hor¬ ace Mann, graduates who had ac¬ cepted the promise of high school and felt the satisfaction of success left, learning and seeking the chal¬ lenges of new tomorrows in uni¬ versities or in the world of business. Those who left went with pride and humility, grateful for The Promise of Mann.
