EDITORIALLY AND OTHERWISE E left out the customary Foreward in this yearis Mannikin because there is nothing to be said. To our minds the years spent at Horace Mann cannot be simmered down to the realm of words and type. We go from school as we hope to advance to each future step-supremely happy! What can we say about the friendships. the thousands of striking incidents. the value and depth we take with us. Only thiswthat despite our youth, our frivolity and devil-may-care spirits. we know what Horace Mann has really meant to us. We know we can never forget. We know these years will be an inexhaustible source of knowledge in time to come. The purpose of this Mannikin is to hold in- tact this jumble of memories and impressions. They have no set order of arrangement. and. in the same way. we have not worked along one special line. We tried to include everything we could. To us the title of the book is What We Did at Horace Mann. Of course. there are certain aims we had in mind. We wanted originality. As far as we know, it is one of the few year books modelled on the magazine layout. We tried to have plenty of photographs and plenty of type. but naturally one limited the other. We wanted a book made especially for Seniors but just as interesting to every student. We wanted to commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary. Above all. we wanted a beautiful book. Few people realize. in glancing over a year book. the enormous amount of work it entails. This year. especially. we have stressed every detail of perfection. Therefore. when bon mots are handed out. please don't think them gross exaggerations. They are all trueg if anything. understatements. Arthur Bijur was the best Art Editor anyone could hope for. Through every page of the book. there is ample proof of his ability. Though he tried to pre- tend he didn't like work. Alan Iaffee was a dynamo when he began. To Mr. Charles C. Johnson, the en- graver. we can only give our deepest thanks for his hard work and friendship. The Business Board col- lected. we believe. the largest amount any Horace Mann yearbook has had. Edgar Nathan. as business manager. was key man and extremely dependableg and he in turn depended on Horace Kalik and Henry Ritter. Dick Kaufman did the photography. along with Stivelman and Phillipsg they turned in as fine a set of senior informals as we think pos- sible. A few people around school aren't included in the yearbook as students. but hold a large place in Horace Mann's life. Bill Hamilton has spent much of his time as assistant conductor of the Clee Club. He has also aided Mr. Bruce with attendance and in chemistry lab. while holding the Presidency of the Dramatic Club. Among the seniors ten were omit- ted who appeared in last year's Mannikin. Harry Ricketson. one of our best athletes. was the happy- hooligan type but a swell fellow. always welcome in the Record room. Jim Woolner came back to get an extra year of age for Yale. He also got an extra year of experience attending the first minute of Mr. Nagle's Vergil class. quarterbacking ,layvee football and being a help on the Record. Phil Lockhart sang in the Clee Club. and attended to his studies and his own circle of friends. In Louis Duesing Horace Mann had one of the most polished athletes of its history. His handsome countenance and smile man- aged to survive all that the opposing teams could give. Irving Radin spent most of his time talking to Pagano. and talking and playing tennis. One of the hardest workers in the class, German Perez was also a really brilliant distance runner. He was known for his clothes. smile and dancing. Larry Weber was the master of all stage performers. His directing of 4'Young American was a real landmark in dramatic club progress. Dick Kaufman was known to everybody as the man who took fine pic- tures. Al Horton had many achievements besides his athletic ability. and most of them seemed to make him pretty popular around the ollice. Jere Davis, too. was handy on the social end as well as being a tackle for the gridders and backstop on the nine. Also we should like to mention that Charlie Moebus. who is one of the best-liked members of the class and a good athlete. has been left out of the senior pages since he will not graduate in June. Al Heins had made a fine record for himself up to the time he left school after midyears.
