There have been,however, several issues which have roused school interest by their dynamic import. In the beginning of the year, for instance, the arrange- ment of the school finances and the appeasement of the various committees hoping to receive aid brought eager spectators scurrying to Council, exuding public opin- ion. Later on, after a depression in audience population, Council attendance picked up again for the Study Hall hearing. With the exception of such incidents, the Council's Census Bureau reports that a new low was hit. The reason for this is not due to the lack of student interest QOh, never!J but rather to the fact that this has been a quiet year and few definite, school-shaking issues have arisen. A subject which brimmed our filling cup of faith in student government was the George School Conference. President Pierre Epstein, Study Hall administration authority Jeanne Bilby, and a faculty member served as delegates to the conference, which was a meeting of representatives from several noted institutions of learning to discuss student government and how it is handled in the respective schools. The H.M.-L. delegates reported back tothe Councilthat Horace Mann-Lincoln came through with flying colors. It seems that we have a governmental system somewhat advanced over that employed.by the other schools represented at the conference. The Public Relations Departmentn of the Horace Mann-Lincoln Sch001 Student Council has released a release quoting President Pierre L- Epstein's general com- ment on the 1947-48 Council. He says, 'On the whole, the Council year has been a quiet one, with the students discussing the different phases of student government rather than passing motions on them.' ...and save on the cost of... Page 7 mm 2925 Levon's social co mittee 1946. Because of the excellent management Committee there just happened to be enough This year the Social Committee headedby Levon Simsarian, decided to try to cooperate with various other branches of' our school government which are con- nected with social wel fare. The Committee worked with the School Service Committee in dabbling with dance decorations, with the World Service Committee in backing benefit affairs, and with the Assembly Committee in making highly imaginative announcements topersuade the not-always- so-imaginative boys to ask girls to the school dances. ! For those of' us who do not peruse the highlights of' the financial columns. it must be pointed out that the Social Committee carried through a successful social season on a very limited budget. The allowance was half' the amount oflast year's allotment and one-third that of of' the Economics Division of' the Social money for one whole extra dance Cinter- schoolj and for authentic orchestral arrangements for both the Christmas and the Commencement dances. The Social Committee gained new prestige this year when, much to the surprise of' the student body, it succeeded in enforcing a new and much critized policy f'or school functions. This policy restricted admittance at dances to H. M.-I.. students and their invited dates. As the committee's battle cry, No crashers or mashers allowed , echoed through the halls, Levon andhisgirlish cohorts quietly went about their job of' providing bigger and better dances for the student body. The World Service Committee is another organization which concerns itself' with social wel fare, but on alarger scale. The committee has done alaudable job in direct- :lng a relief' program for Europe. Chairman Charlotte Rappaport reports that at the beginning of the year a detailed plan was drawn up for food and clothing drives, and for asystem whereby each section adopted a European family. In each cl ass individuals contributed a minimum of' ten cents a week to send C.A.R.E. packages as often as pos- sible to their chosen family. Page The World Service Committee plans social welfare on a larger scale. 1 8 An extensive clothing drive was organ- ized in the fall. By Christmas there were forty packages of clothing ready to be sent to Europe. The fast-growing students of the elementary schooljoinedwiththelugh school and, as usual, outdid the upper school in clothing contributions. During the second .semester a contest was held to see which class could raisethemost money for sending C.A. R.E. packages to the adopted families. The affluent eleventh grade won, but the increased tempo of contributions sent several extra packages to Europe. The World Service Committee deserves great credit for making the school C.A.R.E. conscious and for organizing extensive and unusually successful drives for European School Service Committee preparing propaganda relief without relying onz1'pledgeW system. WI serve, you serve, he serves...,n the members of the School Service Committee could be heard muttering as they changed case displays on the third floor. They have indeed served this year. What with filling the show cases on the third and fourth floors, supervising the clubs, decorating the gymnasium and halls for dances, and preparing posters and other propaganda for school affairs, the committee has had quite a busy year. Among the displays featured in the show cases were exhibits on Japan, Guatemala, and the United Nations. In the third floor case, a pictorial his- tory of the Class of 1948 featured the snapshotted sins of the Seniors. The Chess Club and Drama Club thrived, though several attempts to establish a Photography Club and a Stamp Club did not succeed. D Chairman Margy Lamont feels that, although the committee may have missed out on organizing clubs, the dearth of them was perhaps partly due to lack of interest among the students. N0n the whole,' she says, 'this year has been successful for the School Service Committee and its members have worked well together.N Under the dynamic leadership of Mike Meiss the Community Service Committee has writtenoffl948 asaxdppinggoodyear.

The Community Service Committee organized work at the Church of the Master. The basement was repaired, and equipment generally re-organ- ized, and toys were repainted and new ones made. The Assembly Committee has gained unusual renownthisyear. Although the committee has been operating on a severly cut budget, itxhas managed to produce interesting, entertaining, varied, andeveneducational assemblies, ranging from lo- cal talent shows toa.science assembly. The local talent shows have provided manyof'the especially bright spots on the year's program. Now people are saying that besides just being brilliant, every Joe and Jane at H.M.-L. can play nChop- sticksn and a mean bass fiddle. The chemistry show was another bright spot. It was supposed to go off withzabang, but unfortunately the banging machinery was out of order and only a thud and a giggle were heard. The assembly was a hit, how- ever, and a repeat performance for thelower school was received with similar success. Among other high spotscn1the Assembly sche- dulewas Sing Out, Sweet Land, given by the ninth grade, the Horace Mann School for Boys'assemblM which never came off, and the all-school musical program in the spring. The Assembly Committee can be proud of this year's achievement in providing the school with good assemblies. Only four members on the com- mittee were old hands atthe business, but Chair- man Alice Gutmann happily announced that the new members caughton fast. All in all, the committee has had a busy and gratifying year. Last, but not in the least least, we come to the Finance Committee, that pillar of student government and savior of financially embarrassed committees. Pat Reed and her crew of trusty treasurers drew up the budget at the beginning of the year for the Counc1l's approval. Financial operation was somewhat stymied this year by lack of money. All committees had to Wmake don with severely reduced allowances. They seemed to fare fairly well, even though the shoe may have pinched many of them. For a detailed analysis of H.M.-L.'s student economy see the latest copy of WMoney isn't Everyth1ng...H issued by the Finance Com- mittee. As we leave the wistful vistas of H.M.-L.'s crowded corridors, we brush a dollar bill from our eye fthe one we never gave to the S.A.F.D, and think nostalgically back upontheevery-other Thursday sessions at which the Council and the committees arranged affairs of state for our school.

A struggle between the two editors and the Student Council ensued, after which the sum that Bob had requested was re- duced, although Bettina's demands were granted. With the school year well on its way by this time, Bob took his staff and set up shop in one corner of the Blue Gallery Cthe corner with the windowj, and Bettina, with her co-workers, began to work in another corner of the office fthe corner with the comfortable couchj. First the Lincolnian had to find itself a reasonable offsetter and Highlights had to find itself a very reasonable printer. Then the editors began doling out assignments, and the assistant editors began writing the required articles and turning them in two weeks after the final deadline. From the time that the Blue Gallery acquired a door and became room 302, its regular inhabitants spent their time typing, editing copy, rewriting, and often re- writing again. The big steel files were always overflowing with pictures, copy, and miscellaneous belongings of the staff. The walls were decoratedwithlicense plates, issues of Highlights, unusual pictures, and deadline lists--all evidence of the diligence of Lincolnian and Highlights officials alike. Some way or other, no one is quite sure how, Highlights was published fairly regularly and the yearbook finally went on sale, eventually finding itself in the possession of the underclassmen, who carried it down the halls with them as they chased after the Seniors. 11---un-Tb ,11-1-iii r4f5't w 'T W ., 49 as-.... lf 5259.

In an exciting year which saw Highlights experimenting with both printed and offset styles, its staff was afforded many opportunities to learn about news pre- paration and presentation. At the beginning of the year, sixty students indicated their desire to work on Highlights, which made the 1948 staff considerably larger than last year's, even though the 1948 enrollment was a third smaller. This indi- cates, by figures alone, that more and more H.M.-L. students have realized the edu- cational value of working on a school publication. One objective at which the editorial staff of Highlights aimed this year was the incorporation of democratic procedure into the choice of editors for the various staff posts. The staff tried, whenever possible, to avoid favoritism by electing officials on the basis of merit and experience. Highlights had a professional air about it while our reporters were Wcoveringn the H.M.-L. vs. Teachers College trial and the frequent Parent-Teacher Association meetings concerning the trial. One incident, whiclmwe think worth recalling, occurred when three eighth graders were huddled around the telephone, while one excitedly told his parent that the school would continue next year. The parent, obviously surprised, asked his son how he knew for sure, whereupon the boy confidently pro- cured a copy of Highlights and quoted the headlines and most of the article from which he had taken the information. Just before the halfway mark of the year, the Senior editors chose their suc- cessors, who capably replaced them in February in order that the Seniors might be free to study for College Board Examinations. The new staff brought with it new inspiration and some good ideas which are steadily improving the quality of the paper. Next year's school plans are quickly taking shape and there is reason to be- lieve that the new school will forward the high principles of education carried on at the Horace Mann-Lincoln School under Teachers College. We of Highlights hope to see the school paper playing a more vital part than ever in student government next year. Everybody reads Highlights .

Chuck and Whitney, the first to arrive, are sending a barrage of match boxes back and forth across the floor, while they chant the South American ditty, Chuqui-Chuc, which accompanies their game. As the rest of the staff arrives, more match boxes go skidding around and the singing becomes louder and louder. Trying in vain to ignore the members of the Highlights staff, who always seem tolneunder foot, we proceed to the business of the day. Under Bett1na's quiet rule, Chao and June display the latest illustrations. Ellen reads the witty quotations about the Seniors, while Bob explains the jokes to Rona who 'doesn't understand.N Pat reads the Senior history as Bettina apologizes for mistakes that aren't there. After a photography report from Harley and Jinx, June presents the pros and cons of using color in the book and she and Chuck begin a heated argument. Allan reads the story of the Swami and the Seventh grade, Sally gives a summary of the committee article, and Martha Jean tells us about the progress of the ninth grade write-up. The staff agrees pretty well on everything that comes up, and the meeting is closed, as usual, with the gentle reminder to all that the printer's deadline is not so far off as it seems. . ffl f H1 H1 ff? - I - fujlj ll N 1 i n H ' I, 1, A M' f' 1 ,J VWQ l 3:3 1 .ET an A ' V 1-539 If-1 55 . 1 ig? ' ' We had a large staff... JB O I Page 14 M5665 401 -n F' I Many of our more unforgettable experiences occur on H.M.-Lincoln athletic fields or in H.M.-Lincoln gymnasiums. Every student is required to participate in some phase of the athletic program each term. Early in the fall, the boys are usually requested to clean up the dirt play- ground.in preparation for girls' field hockey and speedball, and their own football scrimmages and soccer games. The fall season is perhaps the most difficult period for the athletic department to manage, for, because of an acute shortage of playing fields, recreation during the warm seasons of the school year is somewhat cramped. After the Thanksgiving holiday, the winter program begins and, under the expert guidance of the staff, even the most inept enthusiast gains a certain amount of pro- ficiency in at least one of the activities. Those who do not participate on varsity teams become graceful fencers and tumblers, spectacular floor hockey players, or hardy wrestlers and boxers. At the first signs of spring, the boys are again herded out to the playground, not only to be reconditioned by hours of sunshine, but once more to make the fields fit for the young lady softballers of H.M.-L. The sports year finally ends with the great annual field meet in which a large proportion of the student body competes for hard sought-after team points. ' While it would be hardly fair to say that athletics at Horace Mann-Lincoln take precedence over our academic studies, we can best determine its position in the school curriculum, perhaps, by judging its popularity within the student body. A1- though most of us often obtain health excuses for the most trivial ailments without the slightest compunction, few, if any, H.M.-Lincoln students have been known to wish themselves back in a mathematics or history class during their regularly sche- duled gymnasium period. We charged right through for the Orange and Blue Page 17 gays' agicwfs' W X A HN 4 usa At the beginning of this year's soccer 5 5 ' or - f V - season, Coach Lott, to his dismay, found I:if'J.E9 NNX ,gf 5 that only twolettermen from the 1946 soccer ' , sl , If J I-M. - A squad had returned. With the longest sche- Qt dule in H.M.-Lincoln history to be faced, the season's outlook appeared rather grim. After several weeks of' drilling a squad com- Q posed mainly of boys who had plenty of fight but little experience, Coach finally arrived atastarting alignment for the team's first game. His judgment proved to be sound, as the team took control of the game from the very beginning and won going away. The second game was also a victory, though not such an easy one, over Horace Mann, by the score of 1-0. As the old saying goes, however, All good things must come to an end. The tea.m's modest two-game winning streak was broken in a game with Hackley. After a tie with Staten Island, three successive victories followed, but H.M.- L. eventually lost its chance for the M. A. A. P. S. title in its encounter with Brooklyn Friends. The end of the season saw Horace Mann-Lincoln finish with six victories, three losses, and two ties. The team scored twenty-three goals, while our defense let nine go through for the opposition. Despite the fact that only three veterans from the 1946-47 boys' basketball team returned to school this year, the varsity squad was potentially the best that H.M.-Lincoln had seen in many years. The team started the season well by trouncing New York Friends in apreliminary scrimmage, and its first two regularly scheduled ri- vals. After those victories the team dropped three straight games and turnedagood sea- son into a mediocre one. The rest of the schedule was characterized by the inevitable alteration of victories and losses until, toward the end of the season, the boys turned in what was probably the greatest upset of the year by defeating a favored Franklin team, 46-42, in an overtime period. WTh1s is a basketball... Page 18 Despite the victory over Franklin, the sea- son proved to be a rather disappointing one fortheboys who had the championsh1p:h1m1nd when the first practice was called. I 1 y The Junior Varsity basketball team en- W - joyed a successful season, as did most of V, the H.M.-Lincoln teams. The J.V. team, com- posed only of ninth and tenth graders, made up in speed and fight what it lacked in height .IIIIIUDU and experience. From the lookof'th1s year's J.V., future H.M.-Lincoln varsity teams should be of 11 good caliber. Although the J.V. did not win all of its games, it was never out-classed by any opposing team. The greatest point spread at the end ofzasingle game was seven points. . 52.31 ?,'l llunluu l j' un uullllil The swimming team, this year, enjoyed one of the best seasons in its varsity history. It does not attribute its success to the ability of just one or two men but rather to the great versatility of all of its members. This season, the team boasted many swimmers who were proficient in a number of d1fferent.strokes. The climax of the season came when H.M.-Lincoln swimmers were entered in four events for the A.A.P.S. final swimming championship meets. The mermen, despite a thoroughly victorious season, are looking forward to an even rosier hlture, as the core of the squad is composed of sophomores for whom WCh1efH Gucker has great expectations. ...and this is how you use itl' They're off!

'KHSSMQFEQB Aj' 452515 lfxl Wg Q i The girls' hockey team began their season with an unusually large number of gaps left by last year's graduating class. In addition to this impediment, they were further handicapped by the fact that during the first two months of the season the as- piring team was coached by four different instructors. Each successive coach tried to perfect a separate method of playing field hockey. Although each method had much merit, the team tended to lack unity. It was not until the third game, when Captain Jane Hillis scored the two winning goals over Birch Wathen, that the girls began to play as a well organized team should. Lee Taylor won the unanimous praise of her fellow teammates for her able performance as goalie. However, each and every member of the hockey squad did her best to make the season a good one, and although the final tally was not an enviable one, happy times were had by all. Volleyball, a new varsxty sport at H.M.-Lincoln, was in full swing for the first time this fall. Last year's team consisted of a group of girls thoroughly Combined operation Could this be a foul? Page 22 'Curses, foiled again!' Three power conference heterogenious in ability and temperament, who banded together to form a team whenever a game was scheduled. This year, volleyball was made a regular varsity sport. Manager Ellie Meiss kept up a feverish correspon- dence with rival schools and Carol Ecker converted hazy hopes into realities by her able captainship of the team. Five games were played in all, only two of which were list. From a mere onlooker's point of view it appears that if future H.M.-Lincoln volleyball teams follow in the 1947-48ers' steps, volleyball will soon become the school's most popular sport among the spec- tators. The 1948 girls' basketball squad had the ingredients of an excellent team. Last year's undefeated record was hard to live up to but the combined efforts of high- scoring forwards, and competent defensive guards, together with Mrs. Proctor's expert coaching and leadership, rendered H.M.- Lincoln an able varsity team. In spite of junior Carol Wagner, who held high scoring honors, and long-armed Ann Gurewich, back- bone of the defense, the team's hopes for mmundefeated season were shattered in mid-season by the much underrated Birch Wathen team. A heart breaking one-point loss to Fieldston was the only other de- feat of the season.

This year's squad included many unusually young members who, under Miss Bernste1n's able coaching, have shown amazing progress in both poise and ability on the court. With Helen Dickenson and Carolyn Barrera's accurate shooting and all-around good guarding, the J.V. girls just escaped outshin- ing their sister Varsity team. This year H.M.-Lincoln offered a course which is rather unique in a secondary School - namely, a co-educational modern dancing class. It all started last year when a number of boys, curious to discover what went on behind the barred doors of the girls' gymnasium on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, obtained permission to par- ticipatejJ1one of Miss Jones' exercise classes. The following day they were reported by 'Chiefn to be physically unfit for basketball practice and were seen limping about the school halls. This year, much to everyone's surprise, we found that droves of them had enrolled hmboth the exercise and creative classes for the entire season. After a few somewhat difficult hours which were disrupted by alternate groans and self-conscious snickers, Miss Jones' new protegees accustomed themselves to the usual hard work that accompanies modern dancing and amazed us all by quickly acquir- ing much coordination and grace. In the Thursday classes the boys showed much abil- ity and taste in their original dance creations. The season was climaxed by a dance recital which was given for the student body, the parents, and a group of Teachers College observers. Ellen Riesenfeld, Helen Thomas, and Nancy Harrow stole the show with their excellent rendition of our old favorite, 'Hong Hong Bluesn, and Levon Simsarian co-starred with Helen Thomas in 'Country Style Dancen. In retrospect, the 1948 athletic season has been a satisfactory one for both the boys and girls of H.M.-Lincoln. Almost everyone has succeeded to some extent in mastering at least one phase of the school's athletic program. Student-faculty games have been successfully played off, and varsity and junior varsity letters have been awarded to an unusually large percent of the student body. awe V51 ' iii: .554 S ,-,I gd at ,f ig, Sl ca?

Qmle Once there were forty-five dwarfs who spent their days in attendance upon a group of giants. The giants and dwarfs worked together in a five-story red brick cave adjacent to a wooded park. In this cave there were many chambers in which the dwarfs discovered how to do all manner of things. When they entered the cave in the morning, the dwarfs divided, each one going to his own chamber. Here their presence was carefully noted before they passed on tg other chambers. This process of moving from chamber to chamber went on throughout each day. In one chamber they were taught how to say strange works and to conjugate verbs. This was called NFrenchW. At first no dwarf knew oui from non and frequently a dwarf would mispronounce a word, sending the others into an uproar. HElle portera un cheveaux finstead of Nchapeaunj demain,N always made the giant chuckle unhappily and wonder if the dwarfs would ever learn to speak French. The next chamber was small and dark. There another giant sat in the corner, hunched over a pile of test papers. In her hand was a long red stick with which she was coloring the papers. On certain days, the dwarfs seated themselves and, amid flying erases and pieces of chalk, learnedto count with letters instead of numbers. This was difficult, because letters cannot be counted successfully on fingers. Emerging from this chamber, the dwarfs entered another one, both larger and lighter, where their time was spent on Wsocial studiesu. In neat, chronological order, the dwarfs learned what happened in the United States after 1812, during the Civil War, and in the years Uhat followed it up to their own time, 1948. With a helpful, enthusiastic giant as a guide, the dwarfs discussed events, deliberated upon their meanings, and pondered their effects. Then, in the dead of winter, when the snow was piled high around the cave, the dwarfs decided to give a play. First they read Sing Out, Sweet Land! and found that they liked it. Then followed two days of reading parts aloud--Ntrying-outn this is called--until the drama giant decided which character each dwarf could best portray. For three weeks all was confusion. The dwarfs and assisting giants rushed about re- hearsing songs, scenes, and dances, and sewing costumes, painting scenery, and -H , M , I . fl Q Q 'T 3Jk 'Z xii-iflcbh lug' lk? Dann QR pounding on boards. The walls resounded with the noise. After the final rehearsal and the last remark, 'We can't get it all done!W, the dwarfs performed for the younger dwarfs, the older dwarfs, and the parents of the dwarfs. Alas, this had some bad effects! Some of the dwarfs became conceited. The giants, jealous of the compliments paid to the dwarfs, piled on cave-work as never before. - Once more the dwarfs swarmed into a chamber labeled 'Engl1sh'. Here they wrote stories, essays, and Wnovelsu. After writing these things, the poor dwarfs had to read them to the class. Often the dwarfs would blush, stutter, and make foolish excuses before beginning to read. After the reading, the other dwarfs would jump on the composition like vultures on a fallen animal. They would criticize it and tear it apart. Sometimes, however, they liked it. Another thing everyone worked on was called Wgrammarn. This was confusing, for the giant used complicated terms which only a few of the dwarfs seemed to understand. Hence, sometimes the dwarfs would chorus WWhat do we have to know?' Anyway, most of the dwarfs enjoyed the writing part of English. - The dwarfs were forced into quite different chambers at twelve-fifteen o'clock, just when they were getting hungry. In one great dark chamber, the boy dwarfs busily tortured themselves in a variety of ways. At times they forced themselves up ropes and pulled on horizontal bars. At other times, they threw balls at each other and tried to place them in a basket, with a hole in the bottom, which was high above their heads. They fought each other with sticks shaped like the letter L Dwarfs at work Page 36 and tried to shove a little rubber disc across the floor. They even threw egg-shaped balls across fields and sometimes kicked round balls far up into the air. At intervals, the giants who were in charge of the tortures tried to drown the dwarfs in a large pool of water. The female dwarfs followed much the same course as the male dwarfs, but their tortures were subtler. An added torment was a strange form of calisthenics called Wmodern danc1ng'. 'I call your bluffl' After this excercise, the ravenous dwarfs trooped downto their feeding chamber. They were a rowdy bunch, always getting scolded for laughing too much and not eating the right things. After their repast, the dwarfs climbed the stairs, and for the remainder of their lunch period, they argued politics, played bridge, and wandered about in the passages of the cave. When the cave-work started again, the dwarfs went down to a well-lighted cham- ber which reeked of strange odors. There, all through the year, they were instructed inthe usecd'strange powders and liquids. learning of this sort was called Wsciencen. The dwarfs had a merry time with some of the apparatus. A merry time, too, the dwarfs had in the arts chambers. Some learned how to knock a nail into a board without bending it. Others learned how to play with paints without coloring themselves. Still others made concoctions from organic substances, a process called Wcookingu. Indeed, the dwarfs spent many happy, busy days in the cave with the giants. Unfortunately, there was an enemy tribe in a cave some blocks away. This cave was filled with crafty giants who wished to put an end to the activities within the red brick cave. The giants began to take actions which mostcH'the dwarfs did not understand, and were there- fore powerless to stop. The giants of the red brick cave tried hard ... but what happened to the giants and the dwarfs remains unknown. That makes this one of the few unfinished fairy tales in the history of man- kind.

The year started with Mr. Berger informing us that we were to have no homeroom, no English, no social studies, no class meetings - just oceans and oceans of Core. This worked out very nicely until Friday morning when we wanted to know what that extra period wasinmbe called if not class meeting. The nglob of time', we were told. Everyone turned out for our first class party. Monte Carlo was the thenw. It was a close race between Krafty Kaufman and chic, fascinating Peter Donchian for the 'jackpot. The food was wonderful. 4 Since we were reading Tolstoy's War and Peace we decided to see Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment as a comparison of Russian writers. Certain bright characters thought that we had better drama in our own classrooms. Dunkin' Osborne, talented class natator, had an undefeated record in swimming. You couldn't beat Steefel, Williams and Wagner, girl's Varsity sparkplugs, either. In Mr. Donchian we had a staunch Yale rooter. On Fridays when Highlights would return from the printers he would comment, WAh, well, those linotypists are only Harvard men.W We were told that it was tradition to spend at least S60 on the Junior-Senior dance. Since we held the purse strings, we tried hard to cut down the decorations Almost everybody listens to Mr. Donchian Page 44 J are ' in for Mr. Berger guides a planning committee meeting. and economize on lighting. To compensate for the deficit, Rd Horowitz suggested that Morty Zolotow hock his jacket. Beyond the bounds of Core, some of us were precocious. Joel, Noel, and the Eddies - Prenowitz and Rock - forged ahead in calculus and nu- clear physics. Welmd several advanced language students. We won't easily forget Mr. Mirick's N.Y. Central railroad ride, Mr. Hunter's cockroach class, or Mr. Donchian and his struggle for democracy in the classroom. In February we took over Highlights. With Pat as guiding light, Mark and Muni as right and left hand men, the issues started rolling along. Carl Wagner found his elementas feature editor. AllcH'our budding journalists appreciated the paper. Mr. Adkins let the cat out of the bag about Miss White. So it was not a complete surprise when she returned from a week's vacation with M.W.C. on her handbag. Among the student teachers, we had McConnell, a long drink of water with hay on top, who thinks that capitalism is just a form of socialism, Bowler, whohas had previous experiencewiiJxMr. Berger, and Mr. Donchian's Impola, who tactfully owns a Modern Library edition of War and Peace. Then it came! Through the doors, through the windows, through Donchian and Berger, it saturated homerooms, classrooms, Core, even the 'glob of timen. Script writing, more writingand rewriting ---the movie! The big question: Who is photogenic? Page 45 The candlestick maker The movie's purpose was to illustrate, to teachers, the processof cooper- ative planning. Its effects and results were many. Our planning committees and and evaluation techniques, used effectively throughout the year, were now tested in practice. In a sense we were being tested, for the whole method of planning this movie involved our ability to cooperate. Lights - action - camera! --- Glamour. The idea was attractive, but there was real work involved. We were an ambitious group, out to make a first rate movie, a movie with a point. But hold on! What did we know? Script writing, editing, camera techniques and movie makeup were all foreign to us. We had to start somewhere, so we set up a steering committee. The library and the arts and music departments served as excellent resources for background material that none of us had and all of us needed. Technological employment Page 46 Creative expression We weren't too sure where to begin, but by the following Monday, every in- dividual had written his ideas in the form of a script. These were incorporated and boiled down until we finally had two scripts. We presented them to the In- stitute CHorace Mann-Lincoln Institute for School Experimentationj. They se- lected one script, but when we finished rewriting it, we found that it was a combination of the two. More rehashing by the writing committee followed. Light- ing, make-up, art, and technical committees were a vital part of the production. The publications committee mimeographed the entire job. Film conference: Mrs. Campbell reserves judgement Page 47 O The problem of a title per- plexed us all. The Brick Mena- gerie , 'How Green Was My Planning , were several that were suggested. Our movie was' successful. We not only produced a good movie but a better class, better in capabili- ties and cooperative spirit. As the year ends, it is not easy for us to realize that it is our final year at HM-L. 'Whanne that Aprille...W undigested plan- ning-committee lunches, and gruel- ling twofway evaluation sessions with psychiatrists Donchian and Berger will be difficult to forget. We like to think of the new school as the old Horace Mann- Lincoln. Even though it will con- tinue in the Lincoln spirit and tradition without us, we will be with it in thought. :qw-'.-- - - 'r-bug-a'.

Some of them were reluctant, some eager for new adven- ture, but none of them could foresee the varied experiences that would unfold in the years ahead. Twelve of these kindergarteners entered the hallowed halls of a brownstone building on 120th Street and Broadway, the other twenty-four were led or pulled toward an impressive school three blocks away on 123rd Street, and the fact that one was the Horace Mann School and the other the Lincoln School made little difference to these young scholars. They played andlearned, skipped and squabbled, Wexperimentingn and Ndemonstrating' with equal ease and equanimity. That was the beginning of the class of 1948. At Lincoln and at Horace Mann, the young members of this class grew and learned. Before they knew it, they were facing long division and the big responsibilities of sixth grade, but there was something even more important than school work to concern them. At home their parents were discussing a lawsuit with Teachers College, a case that if won by Teachers College would bring about the merger of the Horace Mann and Lincoln Schools. What would happen to these aspiring sixth graders? Where would they go to high school? Rivalry had been keen between the two sister schools, and when the court decision on the lawsuit came in favor ofTeachers College, everyone wondered what would happen on the heights above the Hudson when seventh grade met the next fall. Of the thirty-six original cherubs who had braved the portals of progressive education eight or nine years before, many had joined another Alma Mater, but those who remained were loyal to their respective schools and awaited with some trepidation the beginning of a new era. Page 52 It is a sparkling September morning. We rather shly peer through the heavy front doors and see an impressive sign which reads: SEVENTH GRADE -- Room 410. How strange it seems to be no longer children but high school stu- dents! With surer steps we make our way through the throngs of new faces, flounder through introductions and, in 410, finally settle downto Miss Sweeney and China. We get along far better than anyone had expected. Under the influence of Mrs. Thieme's intoxicating smile, we stagger through seventh grade grammar. One of the girls unwittingly admits that she knows parliamentary procedure and is immediately elected president of the seventh grade. High school is won- derful except that no one notices us much. Highlights gives us but a line here and there, and the almighty seniors barely glance our way. Never mind, we have real program cards and a few of us even take foreign languages. Echoes of 'si, si' and 'ou1, oui' float down from the fifth floor, along with the girls' hockey sticks and the boys' newly labeled sweat pants. We boys had thought that high school meant varsity athletics but all we do is run and run and RUN in the park. We have to roll the playground too. At Teachers College we have dancing classes. We sip watery punch, by courtesy of our ever-watchful parents, while romance buds in the five-year- old kindergarden chairs. Our ventures into high society are limited, though, for Miss Reynold's graphs and airplanes occupy the time of many of us, while others visit Dr. Brown up on the fourth floor, or chat cosily with Mr. Elkins about 'our friends the beavers.W At the other end of the fourth floor hall, we prepare for the climax of our year, the great Chinese pageant. As representa- tives of the Orient, we make our high school dramatic debut and a reputation which precedes us into the eighth grade. Back to 410 and the familiar faces of Mrs. Thieme and Miss Sweeney, but instead of China we're going to study our own country this year. Since English is part of the eighth grade core course, we write stories about the Pilgrims, and some of them are actually accepted by the Lorette. While exploring the science laboratory, Rona picks up the soldering iron by the wrong endg but, nmtheamt room, she recovers sufficientlyto throw a mop at unlucky Bob Chabon. The rest of us concentrate on composing variations on NTannenbaum, 0 Tannen- baum'. It is wartime now, and we have 'surprise' air raid drills with NCh1efN and Miss Robins pacing up and down as we welcome the brief rest from our studies. On the fifth floor, we are more actively concerned over our private feud between French and Spanish classes. Plato makes beautiful maps and we all write ten, twenty, thirty, forty, NO! YES! fifty-page reports for social studies. During activities periods we sing, sew, saw, and snore according to our particular whims. Some of us get a little out of hand and flood the girls' locker room, marooning an innocent bystander on top of-the lockers. In spite of the lunch room epidemic, the girls take part in the big modern dance recital in Thompson gym while the boys are put through a rugged course in commando tactics. They will soon be pre- pared to defend the country if a crisis arises. Rifling the girls' precious new pocketbooks gives them ample practice in frisking the enemy. So romantic! So we keep busy until spring, when suddenly the French class claims everyone's attention as over-enthusiastic Luke pushes Senior Richard Ripin overthe footlights with a dramatic sweepcM'her armixxthe production, 'L'0iseau Bleu.' Nevertheless the show is a smash success. Orchids for Madame Browne, and so adieu, adieu, to the eighth grade. We are all a little subdued and ever so much the wiser now. Ninth grade is a 'rush' year, we find, for membership into senior high school. Each girl is secretly dreaming of her smash debut at the Commencement Page 53 EW 3 Z., Zmgjll ' 1 . 1 , . f. ' .

Consequently we spend a great deal of time visiting valve, ball bearing, and woven label factories, exploring breweries and bakeries, and get- ting lost in the subway. Spoils from our academic plundering include strings of labels, no beeror valves or bearings but lots of chocolate ice cream, chew- ing gum, half a doughnut, and sheaves of notes! We thoroughly explore an auto- mobile chassis with Mr. Walters and, under Mrs. Wood's able eye, write tremen- dously long accounts of our comparatively short lives. Life has, indeed, taken on more serious proportions. ' This seems to be the season for astronomical feats, for no sooner do we put the finishing touches on our autobiographies than we are plunged into the uncertain task of writing and producing our own version of John Brown's Body. If the song, N0 Lordy Jesusn, isrunzdestinedfku'posterity, the stubborn traces of shoe polish and Whitney's precocious beard are sure to be. In the meantime, Levon, stricken with amnesiais seen wandering aboutthe halls asking people who he is. Miss Logan is pleasantly surprised on her birthday by our gift of a chartreuse fher favorite color! birthday cake, and our algebra teacher, Mr. Narotsky, is discovered selling apples at a Columbia football game. However, the most livid scandal of the year is the sudden, but not very mysterious, appearance of lipstick traces all over the lockers, heralding Miss Stewart's love for Mr. Walters. A fairly large proportion of the class is reprimanded and we prepare to settle down to some studious conduct. During the lull that that results, Dotty Lieber silently slips out of our ranks and into the Uni- versity of Chicago. This is a year of high ups and subterranean downs. Not only will this year be memorable to us as ninth graders at Horace Mann-Lincoln, but it will be remembered by people all over the world as the end of an era. The death of President Roosevelt early in the spring makes us very conscious of the fact that we have never known any other president. Few of us will be able to forget the strangely silent assemblyijlwhich Jay Meltzerread.NO Captain, My Captain.N We put new energy into our service drives and devote long hours to work at the Manhattanville nursery. The new additions to the class have proved themselves to be invaluable assets. After planting our Manhattanville garden, we crash the gates of senior high at our first Commencement dance, where we dutifully shed a few tears forthe departing seniors. We have at last succumbed Page 54 to Miss Stewart's tireless war against cliques and, in doing so, have become a hap- pier and more productive group. Even so, we tremble for the next year, when we will be tenth graders. As brand new sophomores, sitting in humble awe of Mr. Stolper's oratory and Mr. Farmer's inexhaustible reserve of facts, we realize that last spring's trembling was more than justified. Our frantic searches for the all too rare references on Norwegian history frustrate us early in the year, and the class treasury is soon reported to be in the red. WHasn't anyone seen Shepherd's Atlas lately?W After a rather jerky start, we finally settle down to the serious business of producing Macbeth. Martha Jean, in her plunging neckline, modelsthe future stylesg Allan and beard become synonymous with Macbeth, while Macduff clanks around in a coat of mail. WLay on, Macduff!W Underthe Harvest Moon, we shyly make our first senior high love and romantical- ly discuss the frog which we have recently dissected in biology class. In the day- light hours, though, we reincarnate Janice and Geoffrey, brain-ch1ldrencd'our unique core-course instructors, andwe prove our great ability to depict seventeenth century English life. According to Peter, it was just one dark stormy night after another. Our lives are becoming more and more hectic. Pat Simon is carried limp from coed gym with a broken leg, an there are only five months leftto write our Fascist- Freeman Callas L'ALlegro and IL Penserosol poems. Miss Russell's mathematicsclass is WHeaven Sent' when Jean douses an unsuspecting classmate with a five-dollar bottle of perfume. Miss Muller confounds us all when she Wgoes to the movies when the stars are outn fconverselyj with every boy in the class. Meanwhile, the girls scratch and and squabble over dates for the Girls' Drag. Margy understudies the lead in the all-school production High and Wide, Jon pounds away on 'de bigga bass druma', and the entire class records for posterity on unbreakable records. We are beginning to wonder what the D.C.F.M.0. had last year that it doesn't have this year, for, now that we don't have to sneak in illegally, we have lost a good deal of interest in its Saturday night functions. Three members of the biology class finally succeed in hatching one lonely chick and proudly name it April. To their dismay, April turns out to be a mere rooster, but Mr. Mitchell manages to bear the blow like a true scientist and sends birthday cards as compen- sation to each and every member of the class. Class meetings are really exciting nowadays. We are still revising our class constitution because, as Ernest says, WThere is no provisionary clause for the ad- journment of confabulations at which the necessary quorum for the passing of motions has temporarily absented itself.W Meanwhile, Mr. Stolper is graciously handing out lollipops to the winning editors of those infamous Whig and Tory journals, The Scar- let Sentinel and Freedom's Forge. Caroland Jean coordinate under a horse at the fash- ion show, one of our many class parties at which the electricity is undependable. Speaking of horses, Dark Horse Bilby emerges victorious in the vice-presiden- tial elections and thereby assumes the terrible responsibility of student-run study halls. The Fascist-Freeman poems are finally due and many sophomore parents, with Roget ' s Thesaurus at one hand, a rhyming diction- ary at the other, and a groggy child in the center, are burning the midnight oil. John Milton had five years to write his poems! But we finally entrust our work to the capable handsof'Stolper and Co., Ltd., and skip happily off to the annual field meet, where it rains as usual, and our orange and blue streamers run.

Ni Qfx XXX sea 0 ly scrubbing off the indelible dye, we dance out the school year at the school year at the Commencement Prom, and bid a tearful good-bye to a devastatingly large proportion of the class who are leaving because of the threatened closing of the school. As cockynew juniors we exchange summer reminiscences at the usual pre-school class party and, after surveying the new teachers, decide to withold judgment pending their behavior in the classroom. The fol- lowing Monday morning we discover that we are annexed. As we slowly climb the twenty-four steps from the third to the fourth floors, Mr. DonchianandMr. Bergerascendsedate- ly in the self-service elevator. Sedately? When we reach our assigned rooms, we are startled by Mr. Berger's airy sandals, scandalous ties, and long lists of criteria. Our composure is further shattered by rude spirit knockings from the adjoining room, where we find Mr. Donchian tacking up news items. We soon fall in step with the core agenda however, and become accustomed to the idea that Monday mornings are to be forever haunted by short news quizzes. During the ensuing weeks, we struggle with n5x8'sW and carefully draw charts showing an embattled NYOUH being attacked by advertising, radio, and similar media of communication. Downstairs, in the main building, we tearfully seek Miss Wood's kind solace and wise adviceon alge- braic equations, college boards, and education in general. As juniors, dutifully trudging, chapter by chapter, through Tolstoy's War and Peace, we are able to find less and less time for our usual pranks. We memorize a little Shelley and Chaucer and each take our turn behind the rostrum to deliver a speech. On the extra-curricular side, we Elevens have our fingers in practically every pie. When we are not putting out the literary magazine, Script, or competing for positions on the Highlights staff, when we are not being X-rayed for T.B. or mastering the art of Hprogressive relaxationn under the watchful eye of Mr. Berger, when we are not attending the HM-L Success Course or are not busy rehearsing local talent for the Thursday morning Hour of Charm - we're engrossed in the all-school production of Knickerbocker Holiday. Peter has his night at impersonating the dang- ling hero, while Whit Kin evident painl stumps about the halls on a peg leg, Wjust for practiceu. The year is progressing smoothly. We have slowly acclimated ourselves to stu- dent-teacher evaluation, planning committees, and moratorium discussions, and have finally settled down to a period of hard work on Modern European history. Three sections of the class, all striving for a single end, tackle the subject from three different angles, but all ultimately arrive at the point where they feel a need for self-expression. Accordingly, we present Shadow on the Earth, a play that is unique in its interpretation of the ncultural lagn.-Each of us discovers latent talent as stage hands become actors, musicians become stage hands, and varsity lettermen trip the light fantastic. As the curtain is lowered for the last time on what will pro- bably proveto be the acme of our stage careers, we feel that we have learned a great deal from the experience. Page 58 Having hardly wiped the grease from behind our ears and pulled the splinters out of our fingers, we start writing research papers, com- plete with annotated bibliographies and copious footnotes. Winding up the year, we practice three-way evaluation upon not only ourselves but upon our good friends Cby nowb sex Don and Pete. Pierre is elected president of the school, we deter- minedly track down the last shy senior for an autograph, and bid farewell to a superb set of teachers at the last class party. After everyone else has left for cool vacation goounds, we find ourselves idly thumbing through the Johnson O'Connor English Voca- , .L 1 bulary Builder between mathematics review classes. We thank our lucky stars for so wonderful a mathematics teacher Cand general consultantb as Miss Wood, but.even she can do nothing to prevent that terrible Saturday morning at College Board headquarters from finally rolling around. Afterwards, most of us are convinced of our ignorance, but we don't let on. We're almost seniors and have a learned reputation to uphold. 'H1ya, Senior!W Asvwepause for a minute under the big sign over the front door, each of us feels pleasant tinglings of anticipation. Upstairs, at the annual pre- school class party, the class of 1948 listens enthralled to tales of far-away scenes of sunmer adventure while the dance music blares away unused. The reminiscing is at last interrupted by the presentation, to our new principal, Mr. Redmond, of a three- foot pen and pencil set with whichtcmsign our diplomas. We are incurably optimistic! Classes commence the following Monday and we soon learn that Miss Dar1nger's English course lives up to its reputation for endless composition assignments. Our Sunday evenings become nightmarish as we struggle over the wise words of Lecomte de NoUy and Jacques Barzin. After several weeks of chaos, we begin to wish that Mr. Knight were not such an enthusiast for community planning, though we enjoy hearing our planning committee meetings being played back on the wire recorder. The hardy souls who are attending Mme. Browne's French class andfor Mr. Mir1ck's senior mathematics have the sincere sympathy of their classmates, while everyone who is not under Mr. Stolper's World Literature spell wishes he or she were. The year's first assembly brings all our committee-chairman comrades into the public eye, the first Council meeting is ably presided over by Pierre Epstein, and at the first class meeting, we elect Roger Feldman president of the senior class. Class meetings are more interesting this year, with the yearbook, parties, and Commencement constantly on the agenda. The yearbook, through that amazing medium of communication--advertising--secretly accumulates more money than is allowed by Page 59 Q, 'V ,STS . H 'xg , .

The already worn path1uJMr. M1rick's office is deepened a little more when we begin getting college applications filled out. While waiting for appoint- ments, we marvel at the surrounding piles of South American pamphlets and specu- late upon the contents of massive files which are rumored to contain all our eighth grade indiscretions listed in alphabetical order. Somewhere in the maze, Mr. Mirick loses our names. Even WKillerW Ernest, who inherited his title from Chuck Krasne after innocently knock- ing Plato unconscious on the soccer field, goes anonymously to the great college consultant. Before we realize it, Miss Baker has left the music depart- ment for Elizabeth, New Jersey, some of us have suffered through another Scholastic Aptitude Test, and we are singing carols at the Christmas assembly for the last time. Another 'last timeu comes when we dance away the night at the gay Christmas formal and then go home for amuch-needed vacation. Without having acquired much extra sleep, we struggle back to school through the remains of the Great Snow of '47, most of us still a little groggy from New year's celebrations. We have out- done ourselves ushering in 1948, for, after all, it is our historic year. Fourteen years is a long time to wait for the distinction of having an education and a piece Powers models at Chidnoff. Page 62 of parchment to store among the family archives, and now we are almost within reach of that parch- ment.a Unfortunately, research PHPGPSQ PY'0J9CtSa Achievement tests, and those all-important A's,B+'s, C-'s, and 'unspeakables' still lie between us and our goal. We frantically perform physics and chemistry experiments which come off successfully except in the science assembly, digest miles of Spanish and French vocabulary, hunt for the perfect topic sen- tence and the unsolvable equation. We skim madly through 'vitalizedn American histories and 'visualized internal technocracy', and firmally come up with four or five doubt- ful little letters as mid-year marks. Mr. Mirick still appears hopeful about college. Up in the gymnasium, we tem- porarily 'relax' under Miss Jones' tutelage. Co-educational modern' dancing is a new wrinkle and highh acceptable to the boys, though they suffer 'morning after' stiff- ness for the privilege of cav- orting on their toes with the ladies. Those who are less light of foot take such prosaic courses as tumbling, volleyball, basket- ball and swimming. Several months before the most important date in a 'Lincoln lady's calendar, the girls take a memorable gym period off in order to conduct a highly remunerative auction, the pro- ceeds of which go to the March of Dimes campaign. Offered for sale are rare and high-priced dates for the annual Girls' Drag. Senior boys fidget away the after- noon, wondering whose vegetable corsage they will be supporting at the dance.

P M' Mr. Schaefer, who quietly arrives in January to take over the social studies classes when the government claims Mr. Knight, has us all working hard in pre- paration for examinations and college. Long research papers loom close for science students and trips, movies, and all manner of other projects keep us in a perpetual whirl. The yearbook is rushed to press, Highlights is relinquished to capable eleventh grade hands, and the committee chairmen choose their fortu- nate successors. The school under Teachers College is definitely closing its doors behind our class, only to open again in new surroundings and with greater independence next year. We begin to feel our grasp on school life slipping as elections are held for new school officers and acceptances from colleges begin to filter in. The past few weeks have been hectic ones, with farewell parties, the field meet, Commencement plans, and a constant barrage of lower classmen who want their yearbooks autographed. We have hardly had time to think back over the years to that time long ago when we started to school. The first days of tears and scratches, the first struggles with reading and arithmetic are but a vague memory now, and soon Commencement, our classmates, and school itself will be but memories. We shall be the only class ever to go all the way through the Horace Mann-Lincoln High School under Teachers College, but history will not pay much attention to us for that. Only perhaps some of our grandchildren who come across this book when they are cleaning the closet on a rainy day will learn that the class of 1948 went to high school...once upon a time. fwf W WW Km! 4 n.
