ART CLASS HE first step in giving Art a permanent place in the Horace Mann curriculum was the addi- tion of Mr. Thaddeus Kidawa to the Faculty. Using the renovated space behind the lockers as a studio. the Art class demanded immediate at- tention, especially from the Lower School. A native New Yorker. Mr. Kidawa spent two years in Germany studying music in between his more concentrated studies of Art under a scholar- ship at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Returning to New York to teach Art at Horace Mann. he still considers Philadelphia his home. Meeting during Play Period. the Upper School group was composed of Philip and Robert Yam- polsky. Dick Stolper and a few others who dropped in spasmodically. Especially active was the Lower School group, of which Miller, King, Scheibel and Unger showed the most promise. Milgrim, Keeny, Flatto and Kinnear have worked particularly in clay. Stage sets in oils and tempera were done by Peter Miller, while Arnold Scheibel created mostly with pastels. Others in the class were Love, Finkelstein. Cabrielson and Globus. One of the Art features was the contest spon- sored by the Quarterly, with Mr. Blake and Mr. Kidawa as judges. Special merit was exhibited by Arthur Bijur, Art Editor of the Quarterlyg Robert Levy in a water color of a Swiss Chalet, Alan Stern in his pencil sketchesg and Bill Crozier in his car- tooning. With the new Art studio, the addition of Mr. Kidawa to the Faculty. and the opportunity to ex- hibit work in the Quarterly. the coming year should bring rapid strides in a subject long neglected by Horace Mann.

April 10. with next year's co-chairmen. Dick Turner and Marie Webster planning the entire evening. A roller skating fest was held first in lieu of spring. and then there was the regular dancing. The night was made particularly pleasant by an ingenious num- ber of special dances. consisting of an old-fashioned square hop. a broom dance. and hnally a lemon cut in. In this latter event all stags were given lemons. which they presented to the boys they were cutting in on or vice versa. At any rate. this fruity frolic proved lots of fun. The night the Seniors and Juniors keenly awaited and looked forward to was April l6. the date of the Senior Prom. Their expectations and forerunning exuberance was by no means damp- ened. for the gala affair proved with no reservations the highlight in a social season full of successes. Eighty-five couples responded to the call. and while there were almost no stags at all to do the cutting in. many dances were exchanged. and the night ran smoothly along. As in many former years the Sky Gardens of the Hotel St. Moritz. covering the entire thirty-first floor. was reserved for the Prom. This lovely site which overlooks the entire city. again lent the proper thrilling atmosphere to the evening. Dancers swayed to the faultless music of Dennis Fields and his Beaux Arts Orchestra. gaining fur- ther enjoyment from a vocal trio and a de-lovely girl songstress. The abundant refreshments were up to the St. Moritz's perfect standard.

Both these functions lie in the hands of next year's Social Committee. in as much as the Juniors tra- ditionally plan the final dance of the season for the Senior Class. The Juniors have planned their terp- sichorean event for April 28. and the Friday before graduation has again been set for the Commence- ment affair. To Miss lVlcIntosh. social directorg to Charles Hurd and Tony Pope, co-chairmen of the Social Committee, to Ted Conrad, boy head of the Satur- day Night Group, and lastly to the hard-working Seniors of the social staff goes the praise of the school for a top-notch year.
