Unfortunately we are limited to black and white. Pictures must stand for the throbbing life of school ; statistics, insufficient as they are. must represent the great events of the year. If these pages succeed in expressing the spirit that makes Horace Mann what it is to us. tlien we have not failed in our endeavor. In future years, wlien our mind is weighed down by the burden of business, and your interests are narrowed to tiie channels of your work, take out this book, and let it bridge the gap between tlie jiresent and the past. Let it lead you back to the year 1924-25. and stir up pleasant memories of vour days at Horace Mann. Then may you feel again the thrill that went through 3 ' OU as you watched the llackley game, and cheered with every fiber of your being. May you re-live the fleeting seconds of die Senior TVom. or the an.xious hours that preceded the tina exams. In moments of dejectfon, may these pages rekindle in you the old ardor with whicii you attacked your school activities. In moments of regret, may they carry you back to happier-days and grant you sweet forgettingl In moments of indecision, may this record of glorious victories and honorable defeats stir up ambition and confidence in your heart. Hut above all. may it keep the love of Horace Mann forever alive in your breast; and in future years, may it lead vour thoughts, if not your footsteps, back to your Alma Mater! 1925 HORACE MANN I KIN 1925 Mannikin Board 1925 Robert Barden .

This of course, is not really the case ; there have been in former days boys as admirable as you, and no doubt others equally excellent will come after you. Those of us, therefore, who stay on here are not apt to be deprived permanently of the warm pleasure which comes from association with fine young men like you. Vi u. however, who go have indeed been un- commonly attractive and pleasant to live with here, and I cannot help thinking a good deal about what your development will be. You are soon to mingle with much larger and more heterogeneous student bodies and with faculties whose lives will be com- paratively remote from yours. What these large groups of men will think of you will be of extreme interest to me, and ought to be of vital interest to you. One thing is certain; college life is so full and varied and public that you will be known for just what you are! I could have no greater satis- faction than t(T know that when you graduate frimi college you will be as liigiily respected and admired by all who know you as you now are by us who enjoyed your presence so long. To win that respect and that admiration at that time it will be necessary for you merely to be the same kind of boys that you now are and to presevere in tiiose same liigh qualities which now characterize you. These, as I see them, are high- mindedness. energetic ambition, adlierence to great ideals of honesty, truth, purity and religion. Nothing will ever give greater richness and nobilitv to your lives than these things, and I bid you Godspeed with earnest hope that they may e er shine forth in your careers. With heartiest good wishes and sincerest friendship, WILLIAM [. NAGLE To the Editor of the 1925 Mannikin Dear Sir : It is a well established fact that each senior class in its turn exercises the greatest influence over the student body as a whole. This is as it should be. Physical superiority combined with greater mental and moral stability must make the seniors the leaders of their fellow students. This leadership, no doubt, is a very enjoyable thing, but it also carries with it a tremendous amount of responsibility. Unless we close our eyes to the more pleasant and the vainer aspects of this posi- tion, and recognize these responsibilities and strive to live up to them to the best of our ability, we are but poor leaders. It is not enough to uphold the old traditions; we must always work for still liiglier ideals and adopt them as ]Kirt of our com- munity. Here is where you seniors proved your- selves able leaders. For years, we of the faculty have been working to establish certain standards of honesty and honor It was therefore of great satisfaction to us tu lean; that you, the members of the Class of 1925, shared these ideals of more mature men. and took effect- ive steps to establish them in our community. Tc be sure, the ground is only broken, and there i- still much to be accomplished, but the work is largo that no unc class can hojje to perfect it. it seems U nu- tli;it the vision, courage, and fine judg ment which you showed in starting this movement make you strong and successful leaders — succes-- ful because you leave behind you a better and more wholesome community. 1 am hoping with you that the classes succeeding you will continue yout strong will and determination to do the honorabh thing always. Tliis is ' not an ol)ituary — e en though it con- tains only praise — it cannot be one. because we feel and know that your school spirit and your active interests will always be with us. Good luck to you 1 Sincerelv, E. R. DODGE 15 1925 HORACE MANNIKIN 1925 To The Editor of the 1925 Mannikin Dear Sir: As the time draws near for you to leave the active life of Horace Mann School for Boys, to enter the broader, freer life of the college or the university, I want to crystallize, as it were, a few of the things for which you stand and which make college life and all life really worth while. Each of you has the choice of being a leader or a follower. Which shall it be? Remember that cultivation of the intellect is the main reason for going to college and the aim of each should be to do his job well. When things are not going right, do not call it fate or ill-luck, but look within. Examine yourselves and then have the backbone and courage not only to put the blame where it belongs, but to face about and go forward. Work consistently, not spasmodically. Master some one thing. Have faith in your fellow students, but do not be gullible. Have self-confidence, but not con- ceit. Remember that each of you is responsible for the good name of your school, of your college, of any organization to which you may belong, yes, responsible for the good name of your country. Believe in high moral standards and live them. Honor yourself, not humor yourself. Never set aside your high principles for anything. Be royal to the royal in thyself . Practice self-control, self- discipline, self-development. Strive for the big things, but do the little things well. Seek those things which inspire. Have a religion which has for its basis the forces of God. Such a religion up- lifts and elevates. The man who on himself relies Shall fail however strong and wise, But he who grips the hand of God, Shall walk in the path the heroes trod. Of him who hath, much is expected. How often, though, the man with a few talents but with determination and grit, far surpasses the man with many talents. Let the motto of each be to use what he has to the best of his ability and capacity. The best equipment for life is a sound body, clean and wholesome; a sound mind which thinks straight and thinks things through; a sympathy which makes for service and helpfulness. Thou must be true thyself If thou the truth would teach; Thy soul must overflow if thou Another soul would reach : It needs the overflow of heart To give the lips full speech. With best wishes for each and looking for- ward with interest and pleasure t-j your success in college as good citizens of this great country. Cordially yours. GE(). HOWARD BRUCE To the Editor of the 1925 Mannikin Dear Sir: I should like to talk to the boys of 1925 in the character of one who once went the way you are now going, and who in the many years, has not lost a feeling of kinship with all the generations of boys he has seen go that way since. However. I have been to you a teacher of Mathematics, and I assume that it is as a teacher of Math. that you wish to hear from me. In the years soon to come, 3 ' ou will forget (that is, if you know now) what the cosine of 45 degrees is. and if any one should ask you to define a surd, you will probably not be able to make a sound. But, if you have learned how logicallj ' to establish a truth; that truth is inexorable and will not yield to human desire or human prejudice however vivid; if you have learned how little of complete truth can be found and isolated bv human logic, and how much of it has to be left to a faith that some- time we shall no longer see Through a glass dark- ly then you will have gotten from j-our Mathema- tics courses the best and the most that is in them. On the other hand, if you have not been mas- tering your Mathematics, you are by so much less equipped to think or speak the truth. Sincerely. lOHN DUELE NEITZ 16 Robert Austin, President Herman .

A. Review The Horace Mann Genera! Association Exe- cutive Conniittee is the controlling power of the General Association. Every member of the school belongs to the G. A. The Executive Committee consists of the President. ' ice-President, and Sec- retary who are chosen by the whole school and one representative each from the managers, captains, and business managers of the various recognized organizations in the school. The Committee makes .ill regulations concerning athletics and transacts all business [lertaining to such. It likewise is em- pow! red to make all laws concerning appropriations for the support of athletic teams and other branch organizations. The first meeting of the year was held prima- rily til m-ikc out the Inidgct at which time it was also decided to abolish th ■ appropriation for midget and fre:linuMi fniithnll uniforms. The Committee during its Fall sessions decided to award jerseys to the Second Football team and to appropriate four hundred dollars for the use of the Quarterly Board. The sum of twenty dollars was granted to the Pep Committee for their pur- pose of fostering school spirit and the sessions closed with the Committee ' s approval on the re- commendations for letters for Fall sports. During the Winter term the Executive Com- mittee awarded a sum sufficient for a hockey coach and reembursed the Cross Country appropriation when that organization over-ran its amount. The basketball team was given fitting rewards in the shape of gold basketballs for winning the Private Schools title and the Winter session closed with approval of the letter recommendations. During the Spring the Committee supervised the regulation oi the athletic funds and closed its term after the final group of letters were given out. Student Council Review The aim of the Student Council is to handle any questions which concern student life, activities, school spirit or the name and reputation of the Horace .Mann .School. The Council serves as a link between the faculty and the student body and possesses the power to form and enforce anj- re- gulations which are necessary in carrying out in practical fashion the ideals of conduct on which tile school life is based. The initial meeting of the Council was held til elect officers for the coming year, and Ivlmund )elkers and Herman Hcydt were chosen president and secretary respectively. The Council decided that in order to further the spirit in the school it should revive the Pep and . uxiliary Committees, branch organizations which helped in stirring up school spirit and linking the student body more closely with its senate. Numerous school problems soon faced the Council and the body was forced to take severe action in regard to the prevalent habit of defacing school property. The custom of borrowing various things around school grew to such an extent that the Council decided to put a halt to this condition entirely and accordingly banned and disapproved promiscuiius loans. The Council then adopted a ruling which stated that the front door could be used at all times except during the Junior play |nriod. at which time the east door should be used. This was pa ssed so that the confusion at that time could be eliminated. Tiie biggest question of the year was brought up when the Honor Committee asked for approval. This was unanimously passed. It was further enacted that the Council have juris- diction over all cases and that the body should hold trials if necessary. The Council during the course of the year adopted strict measures in re- gard to students who violated the principles of honest - which were set down. The Council con- cluded its year ' s work by adopting minor re- gulations essential to student life and for the in- terests of the school. 59 Robert Austin Max Kops Joseph Gitterman Leonard Wai.lstei.v Bobs Prettyman .

As a general rule there are two clubs to a form. Below the third form, however, there may be only one such organization, as it seldom has been deemed necessarj- or even advisable to form a group as closely related as members of clubs naturally be- come, in the First of Second forms. The aim of every club in the school is to further in any way in its power, the interests of H. M. The closer companionship with congenial fellows and the so- cial advantages gained by club memljership, while of worth, are the results and not the causes for establishing the club system. The paramount pur- pose of every club in the school, is to better Horace Mann. How far this aim is accomplished we will not venture to say. But the fact remains that the guiding ideal of the club system at Horace Mann is a great one — one which ought to be imbedded deep in the heart of each fellow who goes to H. M. The purpose of the Horace Mann Club Council is to coordinate to the best advantage the w ' ork of the individual Clubs and to legislate on matters aiifecting their common interests. It was with this aim in view that the Council set out to accomplish whatever might be beneficial for the clubs. After the election of Heydt for the secretarial duty, Mr. Nagle, the permanent chair- man, outlined the positions of the organizations in school and the attitude of the Faculty towards clubs in general. In order to improve the conduct of the clubs and to put them on a satisfactory basis, it was decided that Mr. Nagle would have to be- come the personal advisor to each club. The task of publishing next year ' s Manual was brought up before the Council and was awarded to the Delphi Club. The Council then undertook the duty of forming more organizations in the Fifth Form and as a result the new Thelian Club was or- ganized. The Inter-Club Basketball Tournament was decided to be held under the auspices of the Delian Club and was won by the Adelphoi Club. The Delian and Fidean Clubs were given permission to hold a Lower School Swimming Meet w-hich was successfully run off shortly after the mid-years. The final business of the year came about when to the By-Laws a regulation was added that an older club could will to a younger club any of the awards that it formerly presented. Library Committee Review The Library Committee was originally formed with the express purpose of stimulating interest in the Library throughout the school and the Com- mittee has accomplished its aim under the guidance of Miss Brainerd, the Librarian. The direct object of the Committee is not only to assume charge of the Library whenever the circumstances demand but to put the Library more under the control of the students and to express the views and opinions of the pupils in regard to the literature and the general upkeep of the Libra- ry. The work of the Committee outside of the Library is to arouse more interest in the reading of worthy literature and to be able to recommend books for the students to read. This aim is ac- complished each year when, under the auspices of the Library Committee, the universal Book Week is celebrated in the school. Book Week is generally celebrated with either talks on various forms of literary works or by having some prominent person talk to the school on an appropriate subject for the occasion. Another yearly feature of the Committee is the holding of a tea dance for the purpose of pro- curing books which the students desired at a census previously taken. The affair was held the 14th of February and was such a success that the Com- mittee was able to buy all the recommended books. 62 BASEBALL FRA ■CIS RIGGIO ;OHN WESER ROBERT BOEHXEL WALTER IIIKSHON HENRY SPERRY RUNDLE GILBERT FREDERICK TONN HERMAN HEYDT WELLESLEY SMITH ROBERT AUSTIN EDGAR ELLINGER WILLIAM PUTNEY, Manager EDWARD KERTSCHER JOSEPH GITTERMAX EARL TAYLOR EDMUND OELKERS MAX KOPS GIBBS KANE GEORGE SIMPSON HENRY LOEB FOOTBALL ELEK LUDVIGH WILLIAM OVIATT WILLIAM BOYD RUNDLE GILBERT BASKETBALL SAMUEL MENEFEE EDGAR ELLINGER SIDNEY CRANE HERMAN KERTSCHER ROBERT BARDEN, Manager KENNETH ROBINSON ROBERT AUSTIN ERIK BARNOUW GIBBS KANE TOSEPH GITTERMAN JBOBS PRETTYMAN HENRY LOEB EARL TAYLOR.

It was successful in the number of victories recorded, liut failed to achieve the goal and the inevitable glor_v of a triumph over Hackley, which awaits a future eleven; Horace Mann tallied three victories and the opponents registered two. but these facts only cover up the keen disappointment accorded. The opening game of the season brought the highly touted Dwight eleven to Alumni Field on October 17th. The contest furnished the only consolation for the season. Horace Mann, driving with machine-like and rhythmic precision, astonished its supporters by completely outplaying its rivals and sweeping to a 27-0 triumph. It was evident that the eleven had reached the pinnacle of its form and was due for a serious slump. The following week the team faced the woefully weak Trinit} ' eleven and here furnished the first evidence of its com- ing downfall. They played the first half in the same con- vincing manner by which they downed Dwight, but in the second half lost all its offensive power and was held scoreless. Although H. M. emerged victorious 25-0, the failure to pro- duce a sustained drive was brought glaringly into view. On October 31, H. M. lined up against the weaker and smaller Bron.xville team, and while Horace Mann registered its third consecutive win, 26-0, it played listlessly and again exhibited conclusive proof that it lacked the ability to continue the pace it set in the early part of the season. The following week found H. M. against real opposition when it faced its traditional rival Hackley. While it can be truthfully said that the breaks did not favor us, nevertheless our inability- to handle the ball was directly responsible for our 13-7 defeat. The spirit shown by the entire school was the real thing and the team responded by giving all it had, even though fighting a losing battle. The season was brought to an unfortunate close when the fast Adelphi eleven ran us into a 6-0 loss on November 14th. Capt. Ed. Kertscher was the outstanding player of the year. He not only led his eleven in a capable manner, but his stellar plunging at halfback made him H. M. ' s most consistent ground gainer. He was the most dependable player on the team and carried the burden of jjunting proficiently. Herman Kertscher, ne.xt year ' s leader, although slow on the offense, was a tower of strength on the defense at center. The wingmen consisted of Gitterman and Taylor, hard tacklers and excellent at receiving passes, Ijut their proficiency ' was hindered by their lack of speed. Reid and Prettyman were the understudies. Kops and Oelkers formed the tackles and were really the bulwarks and main strength of the line. Their aggressiveness and power made them the outstanding pair of linemen. With- out them the line would have lacked a great deal of its de- fensive ability. Loeb also received his letter at this position. Strayer was the other substitute. Kane and Simpson filled the guard positions. Both lacked the needed alertness and drive to make that part of the line impenetrable, but this was in a measure redeemed by their hard tackling when the opportunity oft ' ered. Ellinger at quarterback, while too light to carry the ball, was reliable in calling signals and displayed a remarkalile fight- ing nerve. Although he was unsteady in handling the pigskin, nevertheless he was one of the best quarterbacks seen at H. M. in many a year. Menefee filled the position in a capable man- ner whenever called upon to do so. Crane, Oviatt, Boyd, and Gilbert alternated at the half- backs posts. The first, although extremely slow, was adept at passing and receiving punts and was the steadiest man on the squad. The others iilled the position satisfactorily when called upon. Gilbert was usually good for short gains : Boyd showed up exceptionally well at line plunging ; and Oviatt, the fastest man on the team, sometimes broke awsy for long gains in a scattered field. He also took care of the points after touch- downs. Chambers was the only other candidate for this post. The team was admirably coached by Ump Tewhill and Mr. Schmitt and to them is due all the credit possible. Robert Harden arranged the well regulated schedule and took care of the team ' s necessities in an approved manner. Second Football Team Sti;vi;ns . M AKSiiAi.:.. i;ii;iiT Mu.

Out of twenty starts they were on the long end of the score seventeen times. The first game with Hamilton was won by default. The second game with the Fanwood quin- tet was easily captured by a score of 23-12. During the Christmas holidays the Alumni were repulsed without much difficulty. The fourth and fifth victories were registered at the e.xpense of Trinity and Manhattan Prep, in games featuretl by H. M. ' s remarkable guarding. McBurney easily succumbed to the superior playing of the Red and White, 24-15. The following week both games were played awaj ' . In one of the best games of the season Horace Mann avenged itself on Loyola for last years defeat. The score was 34-21. y delphi offered little competition, the final count reading 24-11. The record of eight consecutive victories was eventually broken by the powerful New York Military Academy team in a hard fought game played at Cornwall, and before the team came out of its slump Evander Childs hung up a victory at H. M. ' s expense. The game was exciting but slow, the score being 18-17. In both of these games the team played hard but met with hard luck. In the next five games the team showed its best form, being held to an average score only once. Collegiate Prep, and Haaren were easily van- quished, the scores being 37-10 and 54-7 respective- ly. Hackley fell before our powerful attack in an uninteresting contest 42-6. Horace Mann con- tinued its new streak. Poly Prep, being the fourth victim. The Poly game was in the nature of a grudge fight, which was waged in a colorful, exr citing manner. Bronxville and Stuyvesant were not in H. M. ' s class, both being conquered by wide margins. The fifteenth victory of the season was registered against the Columbia Freshman Team in a rough game. The count at the final whistle 74 was 25-11. The Red and White made it eight straight again with the Friend ' s Seminary as op- ponents, only to have its record broken by the Bryant Team in the last game. This was undoubt- edly the best game of the year, the teams being evenly matched, and it was closely contested from start to finish. The score was 25-24. The loss of this game cost us the championship of Greater New York, but we still held undisputable claims to the N. Y. Private .Schools Championship. In return for the very successful record hung up by the team of ' 25, gold basketballs were granted seven lettermen by the G. A. Captain Robinson was the leader of the team this year. He was the high scorer of the season and was a sure shot under the basket, besides being the fastest man on the floor. He will be greatly missed next year. Austin was the other distinguished player on the team. His guarding was excellent and he was a good shot from any angle, also having the best record in foul shooting. Barnouw, the other forward, was the second highest scorer, and although it was his first year on the Varsity squad, he developed rapidly into a dependable player. Kane, who was at center most of the season, was very consistent, but was considerably handicapped by his lack of speed. Loeb starting the season at the other guard was injured early in the year and was replaced by Gitterman and Prettyman. The former guarded we+l, but was not a consistent shot. Tiie latter was best in a passing game. He has been elected to guide the team ne.xt year. The other men on the squad were Heydt. Kops. Lewis. Taylor and Chambers. Earl Taylor was Manager this year. He ar- ranged a long, and difficult schedule and took care of the business end in an acceptable fashion. He will be succeeded by James Walker. The lion ' s share of the credit should be given to Mr. Tewdiill. who coached the team again this year. Second Basketball Team M R. V. F.

This statement is easily proved by glancing at the dif- ficult schedule which records six victories and three defeats. At first this does not appear to be a notable achievement, but these defeats came at the hands of Irving, North Plainfield and Evander Childs, public school champions of the state. On the other hand it vanquished George Washington, who were the previous year ' s champions of the entire east and Poly Prep, our greatest rivals, for the first time in a number of j ' ears. The season opened with a setback at the hands uf Xorth Plainfield. in a game featured by free hitting and poor fielding. The score was 19-16. In the ne.xt game H. M. chalked up its first victory, overwhelming Trinitv. 16-7. This was followed by another easy triumph over Cathedral Prep, by the score of 18-9. The third game resulted in an 11 -11 tie with Manhattan Prep, the game being called in the seventh inning due to rain. The team then journeyed over to Essex Falls where it took Kings- ley into camp to the tune of 25-2. Gilbert ' s fielding featured the game. H. M. suffered its second set- back when Evander Childs came out on the long end of a 12-6 score. The team atoned for this defeat by scoring notable triumphs over George Washington and Poly Prep, by the scores of 7-5 and 9-2 respectively. Heydt ' s superb pitching featured both games while Captain Riggio ' s home run added to the glory of the latter. H. M. fol- lowed up these victories by vanquishing Adelphi n a well played game, 4-3. In the finale the team lost to Irving, due largely to infield errors. The score was 5-2. Captain Riggio led the team at short-stop, play- ing a consistently good game. The infield was com- posed of Sperry, the leading hitter, at first, Weser, the mainstay of the inner works, at second, Riggio at short, and Boehnel, a steady fielder, at third. The star of the outer garden was Hirshon. whose remarkable catch saved the Washington game. The center section was ably patrolled by Gilbert, a strong hitter and a dependable fielder, while right field was taken care of by Smith. The battery consisted of Woodward, Heydt. and Kane on the hurling end and Captain-elect Ellinger on the receiving end. Austin played a steady game at first and in right field when called upon. PROSPECTS FOR 1925 The 1925 baseball team will be led by Captain l ' llinger. whose dependable backstopping was one of the features of last year ' s season. The infield will probably be composed of Austin, Heydt when not pitching. Smith, and some member of the 1924 second team. In the outfield there will be such eterans as Gilbert and Boyd. The pitching depart- ment will consist of Heydt, Wilder, Kane, and perhaps Ludvig. while Ellinger, Gitterman. and Harden will receive them. 80 1925 HORACE MANN I KIN 1925 Second Baseball Team Maijsii Ai,i. - W ' AvnrKX ........

But despite this handicap. Coach inter set diligently to work to whip together a team out of the material at hand. It was mainly through his able efforts, coupled with the cooper- ation of the entire squad, that H. M. enjoyed an average season. The team competed in four dual meets, two of which it won, and was represented, also, in four open meets. yVs the opposition was always of the highest calibre, this record may be looked back upon with a good deal of pride as a very creditable showing. In the opening meet, Dwight was smothered by the score of 78-14. Following this victory, the mile relay team, composed of Robinson, Miller, Murphy, and Swope placed fourth at the New York University Interscholastic Meet. (Jn the subse- quent week-end, the team took a decided brace and won first place over eight other schools in the Private School Relay at the Penn Relays. This was quite an accomplishment as no open meet races had ever before been won by Horace Mann, and Wilson. Murphy, Miller, and Swope deserve a lot of credit. The local runners suffered their worst defeat of the season at the hands of Poly Prep, their close.-t rivals, when they were defeated on a muddy track 64-36. But the Red and White par- tially made up for this setback by sw;-.mping Hackley to the tune of 59-22. The H. M. represen- atives were exceedingly strong on the trac :. cap- turing the first and second places in all the run- ning events. The next meet took place at Pawling where the team came out on the short end of a close score. In the A.A.P.S., H. M. placed fourth out of fifteen schools at Columbia. According to expectations. Poly Prep took first place, but not as easily as in previous years. Sam AVilson came through in great style and established the record for the 220 yard low hurdles by winning this event in the excellent time of 26 3-5 seconds. As a climax t(j a season in which H. M. was spasmodically strong and weak. Ken Robinson lowered the school record for the mile to four minutes and fifty seconds at the Columbia Meet. As a reward for their fine work, H. M. ' s were awarded to nine members of the squad, at whose head stands Captain Swope. Although he was un- able to compete in many of the meets on account of injuries, he collected enough points to win an H. M. Mis re-election to the captaincy for the 1925 season shows the esteem in which he was held by his team-mates. To Miller goes the credit for being the high scorer with 41J4 points amassed in the 100, 220, and high jump. Sam Wilson ranked next with scores collected in the hurdles, pole vault, and 440 amounting to 33 ' ' 4 points, while Robinson proved to be the most versatile Eunner on the team. He was very strong in the 440, 880, mile, and relay and gained 27 2 points. Oviatt, Miller, and Mould took care of all the jumping events. Waldo and Oviatt were the shot putters and Cole and Barton scored consistently in the mile. Murphy, Curtman, and Walker filled in in the 440, 880 and mile res- pectively. 86 CROSS-COUNTRY Kkwkth Koiunson ( ii i iii ' ii J(jHX SWOl ' E Manaycr Cross Country Team Kenneth Robinson John Swope .

In the first race of the season the team journeyed over to the Newton School, and were defeated by the P. S. A. L. champions by a one point niarg-in, 27-28. In the two dual meets which the team won they were far superior to their opponents. Un October 22 Clason Point was defeated by the score of 21-34. and exactly two weeks later St. John ' s Prep, was vanquished by the same score . On October 30, the H. M. harriers met defeat at the hands of the strong Poly Prep, aggregation, 23-32, and in the final meet of the season bowed to the De La Salle team. The score was 25-30. In the open meets the team was more success- ful, making a very good showing in two of the three. The trip to Troy resulted in the team ' s capturing sixth place out of sixteen schiiols of New York State in the R. P. I. Interscholastic Race. The Red and White hill-and-dalers were not so success- ful in the Yale Interscholastics, where they i)laced eighth of the twelve teams entered. The season was brought to its chmax when H. M. finished second in the Private School Cham- pionship Run. being surpassed only by Poly Prep. In speaking of individual work, the man to de- serve first mention is Captain Robinson, the star of the team for the past two seasons. Besides be- ing a very capable leader his running was excel- lent. His average was 1.7. Both Walker and Curtman had an average of 2. The former developed into the most consistent runner on the team, finishing third in all meets but the last two in which he came in second and first. He has been chosen Captain for next year. The latter only ran in the first five races, but crossed the line second in every one. Gerard Swope, who was on the 1922 team, ranked fourth. His improvement near the end of the season made his average 3.0. Kennard was a steady runner, and pulled down his average which was 4.6, by his work in the final races. Fuld ran a consistently good race through- out the fall for an average of 5.0. John Swope was manager and took care of the business end, arranging a good schedule. And last, but not least, is Mr. AVinter. Beset with many discouragements throughout the season, he nevertheless developed a team of remarkable possibilities and deserves an unlimited amount of credit for the success of this sport as a whole at H. M. Prospects for next fall are not very good, as the whole team, with the exception of Captain- elect Walker, will graduate in June. 90 F.i«;ai; Fi.t.iN-nF.R Ciiflaiii HOCKEY Hockey Team Edgar Ellinger Ward Bolter Charj.es Tew hill Edgar Ellinger Edward Kennard Clifford Ellinger Gerard Swope RuNDLE Gilbert Samuel Menefee Marc Haas .

Elliiiger Kennard 93 1925 HORACE MANNIKIN 1925 Hockey Review For the first time in two years, the results of the hoclcey team ' s efforts can hardly be termed successful or even satisfactory. Much of the lack of team-work or even good skating can be blamed on the desultory nature of the practices and the inferior quality of the coaching. The team at the beginning of the season possessed one tried veteran and several comers . At the end of the winter schedule it had added two victories and three de- feats — and little more to its opening repertoire. On January 14th, the team opened its season by defeating the woefully weak DeWitt Clinton ag- gregation by a 4-0 score. Our playing was charac- terized by ragged team play and a few good flashes of individual stick-work on the part of Captain El- linger and Gilbert. On the following Thursday, they hung up their second and last victory when the Mamaroneck High team was outplayed to the tune of 4-1. Gilbert and Menefee played a fine defensive game while Haas at goal was be- ginning to find himself. On the 24th, we were eclipsed by the strong Pawling combination, 6-0. Lack of practice was painfully apparent in this encounter, but in spite of the marked superiority of our opponents the team showed a fine fighting spirit and played gamely and hard. Jones, the Pawl- ing captain, distinguished himself by netting all six of his team ' s goals. February 5th saw Horace Mann again meeting defeat, this time at the hands of Jamaica, by a 2-1 score. The last year ' s city champs kept the puck in H. M. territory during the first two-thirds of the game but in the last third had all they could do to keep the puck away from their own goal, and had not the game been prematurely ended by the management of the rink, we might have pulled the game out of the fire. Feb- ruary 19th saw the team lose its third straight to the Morristown High sextet by the close score of 3-2. The playing conditions were atrocious and the game rather uninteresting. The two remaining games with Poly Prep and Stuyvesant were cancelled because no rink could be obtained after the lamaica game either for practice sessions or regular games. The outstanding member of the team was, of course. Captain Kllinger, who remained the only bright spot in an otherwise rather drab hockey com- bination, ide played brilliantly, both offensively and on the defensive, but purely individually. His shooting was fast and hard and his skating flashy but erratic. The other regular member of the forward line was Gerard Swope, who, though a consistently good skater, left much to be desired in his shooting. Right wing was filled by Ken- nard or Clifford Ellinger as the opportunity of- ferred. Neither was particularly strong on the ice, Kennard being a better shot under fire. The offensive line on the whole lacked a coordinate at- tack and would have been greatly improved by a little scientific knowledge of the game. The defense consisted of Gilbert and Menefee at right and left defense respectively and Haas at goal. Gilbert, a last year ' s veteran, was an aggres- sive player and a strong shot and furnished the backbone of the inner works. Menefee, who was broken in at the other position, had Tnuch to learn in the handling of his stick, but his skating steadily- improved all season and his scrappiness strengthened the team materially. Haas, another newcomer, ra- pidly learned the ropes and stopped many difficult shots as the season progressed. Swope carried off the high scoring honors with six goals, with Ed. Ellinger second with four. 94 lh..Nki l.uh Captain TENNIS Tennis Team 1 IliNRV I OEJ! . Jack JIappuujt AIk.

Swupc 97 1925 HORACE MANN 1 KIN 1925 Tennis Review Though not quite up to the high standard set by some of our previous teams, the ' Varsity Tennis Team of 1924 completed a fairly creditable season and added new laurels to the school. It competed in seven meets of which it won five, outside of taking part in the Third Annual Private School Tournament. The ' arsity began auspiciously with victories over McBurney and Trinity by the scores of 3-1 and 4-1 respectively. In the latter contest Smith. Eising, and Loeb all won their matches easily. The next week-end, they journeyed over to Stevens Institute of Technology to beat their Junior Var- sity 4-1 ; Smith, Reed and Eising taking the first, ' second and third singles and Loeb and Klee better- ■ ing their opponents in the second doubles. Evander Childs then spoiled Horace Mann ' s hopes of another championship by decisively beating the maroon players 4-1. Eising ' s victory in the third singles was the only redeeming feature in the match. The following day. Yonkers High .School defeated H. M., winning every round. After two inactive weeks, due to rain. Sutherland, Reed, and Packard went to Forest Hills to participate in the Third Annual Private School Tournament. Reed and Packard advanced to the third round in the doubles but no special honors were achieved as had been the case with Horace Mann ' s former tennis teams. In the next match. Cutler School was defeated 4-1. Loeb and Sutherland won tlie second and third singles and also captured the first doubles, while Eising and Fuld were victors in the second doubles. As a climax to the season, H. M. beat their rivals Ethical Culture 4-1. Although there was no outstanding star. Packard, Reed and Smith played equally well. The former, outside of being one of the leading players, captained the team and proved to be an able leader. Reed, though not as brilliant a player as Captain Packard, was the steadier of the two and he took part in more matches. Both of these players not only were good individually, but when paired they formed a very well balanced doubles team. The best player of the trio was C. W. Smith, the winner of the Fall Tennis Tournament. Unfor- tunately he was on the baseball team, and so he only engaged in two matches, both of which he won. Loeb and Eising were the other two members of the team. Besides playing a good game in the singles, they also made an effective doubles com- bination. Sutherland was the first substitute and filled in verv well. .Schock managed the team, arranging a very good schedule. L ' nfortunately many of the games had to be cancelled because of rain. Despite the fact that most of the regular mem- bers of last year ' s team have graduated, neverthe- less 1925 should turn out a team of which H. M. ought to feel proud. Loeb is the only letter maYi returning and he will most likely have the honor of holding the position of first man. Klee and Manager Happoldt are the leading contenders for second place, and then there is a wealth of capable material from which to pick the rest of the team. 98 I Kkik Uaiinouw SOCCER Soccer Teem (. kL STURAr Mtiiiaf cr Erik Kari (juvv Carl Sturm .

With a schedule of nine games, the team scored seven victories and suffered but two defeats. After about three weeks of regular training the team was in shape for its first game. This was with Riverdale, and resulted in a 2-1 victory for Horace Mann. Capt. Barnouw scored both goals for Horace Mann, and the Riverdale tally was on a beautiful foul kick from the center of the field. A week later the team went down to its first defeat at the hands of Richmond Hill, a large Brookl}n public school. The final score was 0-2. The third game of the season was again a victory for Horace Mann. This game was with Manual Training, also a uublic fSchoSl. ' ' Elated over tliis victorv. the team faced Lincoln the following week in an oversure frame of mind. The result was a hollow victory for Horace Mann. At the final whistle the score was 1-0, the goal having been n freak of luck. The team, incensed over their poor playing, faced their old rival Poly Prep two weeks later, determined to fight their hardest. The result- ing score of a beautifully played game against a heavy team was 1-0. The goal was made by Haas, after a run down the field with some pretty pass- work on the right side of the line. This is the first time in six years that a Horace Mann team has de- feated Poly Prep in soccer. The next week Horace Mann ' s hopes were shattered for the second time. The defeat was at the hands of a powerful aggregation from N. Y M. A. The score of the game was 2-1. our tally having been scored by Capt. Barnouw. The last three games of the season were three decisive victories for Horace Mann. The first of these was a crushing defeat over Lincoln school to the tune of 4-0. The 102 second was also a walkaway, a 3-1 victory over Riverdaie. This game is noticeable because it was the only goal which was scored on Barnouw the whole year. The last was a 1-0 victory over the football team. The team was very light, especially the fore- ward line. Erik Barnouw, the captain, was the star and mainstay of the team wherever he played. When at goal, he saved many a score by his quick action and brilliant use of his arms and body : when in the forward line he led the attack. The highest scorer this year was Marc Haas. He scored six out of the total of 14 goals. Besides that he worked very well with the outside man Barnett ; together th ' y often carried the ball down a crowded field dribbling and passing. The other outside was Lucke. who was very fast and a qu ' ck and clever dribbler. Mitchell and Capt. -elect Waldo were the other two forwards. These two men took turns playing. Waldo had the advantage of weight and speed, but he was not as trickv a dribbler as Mit- chell. The half-backs were the weakest part of the team. Luykx v -as the keystone of the half positions and he covered an immense amount of territory. However, both AMiitnev and ' einberg, though thev were good kickers, were slow in recovering the ball The full-backs, especiallv Gies. are worthv of mention. Gies and Boyd were an exceptionally strong defense, and time and again they would stop the onslaught of the opposing team. Riehl played goal, when Barnouw was not there. Carl Sturm was manager of the team, and arranged a very attractive schedule, though a some- what overloaded one at the end. Little will suc- ceed him next year.

Varsity letters received in the four major sports count four points each, while a minor sport letter is awarded three points. Managerships do not count. One and two markers are also added if a man wins a second team letter in a major sport or plays on the Varsity scrubs. The required total of points, once fifteen, has been raised to twenty, and any man capable of making these twenty points in his three years in the upper school is talented, atlileticallv at least. 104 DCAHA Dramatic Club Robert Austin Charles Bernstein Stephen Fuld Edmund Oelkers Rov Miner Charles Freeman Jesse Greenstein Alan Sinauer Erik J ' .ARxtiuw ' lLLIAM P V D GiBBS Kane .

The Knight of the Burning Pestle , a drama by Beaumont and Fletcher, as its crowning effort of the year. The play was given in the grand ballroom of the Hotel Plaza before the largest audience that has ever attended a Dramatic Club performance. The chief roles were hlled very creditably by Synis, Peck, Reed and Pforzhe.mer. They, as chief charac- ters, kept the show moving. Syms and Peck from their positions at the left of the stage spoke their lines with the greatest possible effect and added immensely to the success of the play. Carl Pforzheimer, the young hero of the p ' ay, acted w.th except onal ability and charm, while Wilson Reed as the drunken husband of Mistress Merrythought kept the audience in laughter and excited their applause by his excellent singing. Another bright spot of the perfcirmance was Jdhn Green, who rendered the part of the foppish young suitor of Luce with re- markable skill. (_ rdit must also be given to Lindheini and allstein for their characterizations of the two lovers, while Morgan the father of Luce, and Barnett, the shrewish Mrs. Merrythought likewise did very well. The scenery end of it was ably handled by Bernstein, Sharpe and Luykx, while Charles F. Schock, Otis. Barnouw, Kane and Gitterman were the business managers. The dance after the performance was en- joyed by all, the music having been furnished by John Green ' s llarmonians. After the succes.s of the previous year, at the Plaza, the Dramatic Club staged another perfor- mance on the stage at school on November 26th. An unusual feature of this performance was the fact that the Dramatic Club had decided to give no dance after the show, breaking a precedent which had been followed up to this time. The first of the three one act plays was Four of a Kind , a melodrama of the sea. with wide op- portunities for character acting. It was well done and the audience received it enthusiastically, for the play was a good choice as an opener. The ctirtain went up on the deck of a merchant ship in the south seas and revealed the two main characters of the play. Jake and Crawls in- terpreted respectively by Ward Bolter and Lincoln Barnett. These were two sailors, one a burly rough- neck, and the other a deformed and whining sneak. Both parts were very well done as regards com- pleteness of characterization. Roy Miner, who also directed the play very capably, portrayed the dif- ficult part of Wang the Chinaman. The character of Father Jerolonien . the Jesuit priest, was well taken care of by Erik Barnouw. while Smike. the other cut-throat, was acted by W illiani Boyd IIL wdiose representation was not as absolute as it might have been. The second play. A Comedie Royall did not fare as well as the first. It was an Elizabethan drama of a somewhat boring cast, and the mechanics of the writing of the play were poorly done from a theatrical view-point. Of the characters there is not much to be said. Sinauer, who played the part of Royall Hartwynd, the hero, was perhaps the best. He might have been a little stilted, but he spoke his lines with feeling and emotion. ' ' The part of his lover Phyllida French was ]3la_ ' ed very ably by- Myron Isacs, a newcomer in dramatics. He acted extremel} ' w-ell in places, but in other, the emotional parts, he didn ' t seem quite capabe of putting across the true feeling of the lines. Oelkers. as the father, was excellent. He w-as w ell fitted for the part, and 108 1925 HORACE MANN I KIN 1925 Dramatic Club Review-continued tliere was no ilimbt cif his ability and talent. I ' .rdwn and Freeman were the courtiers, and they did well in the unfortunate parts of two characters vh(j were placed there by the author merely to help the exposition of the play. Wallstein in the part of yueen Elizabeth was miscast, and for the most part overacted. Although he tried hard, he was unfitted for the part, anil was not at home in it. The last play, The Other One, was the feature as well as tiie success of the evening. A sort of morality play dealing with the return of Christ in a tramp ' s dream, it was extremely well written and well acted. The part of The Connecticut Kid was very well interijreted by Kdward Kennard. who played with great emotional force antl feeling. The jiathos in his character was extremely cleverly and powerfu lly done. Charles Bernstein acted as The ( ither ( Jne , which was a ver)- difficult part, and he played it with all the dignity and austerity which the character demanded. His mien and voice were solemn, almost too solemn, but the representation of his true being was skillfully and subtly put across. In the part of Raniblin ' Red , Robert . ustin played with professional finish. His voice was good, his face was flexible and emotional, his manner was true and his character was complete. Ilenrik lAiykx and Frederick Little designed and made all the scenery. Though it was scarce and simply dipue, it added greatl}- to the effect of the show. Following the custom begun last year, the Dramatic Clul) again presented a winter show up at school on the new stag ■. . dance, which was held in the gym, followed the performance, the music being furnished b)- Morris ' s orchestra. The audience was larger than that which attended the fall production, and received the ])lays enthusias- tically. The first perfnrmance was The .Medicine Show by Stuart Walker. There were Init three characters in it; Lut ' er which was played by Edward Kennard, Giz by Roy Miner and ' Dr. Stev ' n ' andexter by Ward Bolter. These char- acters were three loafers fishing on the banks of the Ohio. All three boys were excellent in their parts and it is hard to say which was best. The- second play, The Game of Chess was somewhat raggedly done, and though perhaps more gripping than the first did not have the finish of writing and acting that the preceeding play dis- played. The characters were not clearly drawn and the ' play contained too much philosophical discus- sion and not enough incident to excite the interest of the audience. Boyd as the Duke Alexis gave a performance which, though no t remarkable, was quietly and capably done : for it was a long part and he had only laeen assigned to it two days before the show. Robinson was the other main character. a communist. Boris Ivanovitch ShamrayefF by name, w ho would have been excellent had he known his lines better and tried to assume more of a character than he did. Austin as Constantine made much of his small part, although he had no chance to show his histrionic abilit)- as in the fall show. Gibbs Kane, as the footman, was a marvel- ous creation in brown velvet and wdiite ruffles. The last play, an amusing farce called .A.ction brought the performance to a successful close. It really was very funny and the audience received it infinitely better than the other two. Oeikers was 109 1925 HORACE MANNIKIN 192i Dramatic Club Review-Continued the best of a large cast and his amusing speech in front of the curtain aroused the curiosity as well as the mirth of the audience. Untermeyer as Max overacted to the extent oi not being clearly un- derstood : yet his ability to pla) ' a character part was greatly apjjreciated ijy all. His dapper son was adequately played by Sinauer. who also directed the production. For the rest of the cast there is little to be said. Their deceases were enjoyed immensely by the audience, though their dramatic talent was nothing to speak of. The props for the performance were small and simple, the set for the first play being- merely a back drop. However, the lighting was very well handled and the crimson and goUl costumes of the second play were marvellous to see. Since this book comes out too late to review the final spring show, it is necessary to mention it before it occurs. This year the idea is an unusual and original one. The club lacked the funds to rent the ex- [jensive hall room at the Plaza, so Mr. Smith thought of a very novel plan for giving the school something in place of it. The performance in the spring will be held in the new gymnasium, and the stage will be erected in the middle of the floor. Around the edge of the room small tables will be supplied to the seating capacity of four hundred. Refreshments will be served and dancing will take place before and after. The play, which is a three act farce by Moliere, occupies about an hour. It will begin about ten-thirty after some dancing, and the dancing afterwards is expected to last until twelve-thiry or one A. M. The name of the chosen play is Doctor by Compulsion. The cast has not been decided yet. but since it is a large one. wide opportunities will be offered. It may seem difficult to arrange tables around the room so that all may see. but it surely will turn out all right and all that come will cer- tainly enjoy a g ' ood time. 110 7yOC V , Social Committee G.

The former was an excellent production of Beaumont and Fletcher ' s The Knight of the Burning Pestle , which was given in the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Plaza on the twenty-fifth of April. It was an elaborate af- fair and was enjoyed by everybody. The play was followed by a dance whose success was largeh due to the music furnished by John Green ' s Har- monians. The latter was a more modest function than its predecessor but was also a great success. Kane and the rest of the committee deserve a great, deal of credit for the excellent way in which they decorated the Old Gymnasium and supervised the dance. The Harmonians again supplied the music. The 1924-25 season was ushered in on October eleventh by the Parents ' Association Dance. It was held in the Thompson Gymnasium as a general gret-together for the boys and girls of the senior high schools. Everybody had a good time despite the fact that there were several less boj ' s present than girls. On November twenty-sixth, the Dram- atic Club presented three one-act plays in the as- sembly hall. They were Four of a Kind . A Comedie Royall , and The Other One . The Club started a new precedent by not completing the pro- gram with a dance, desiring the plays to be the out- standing feature of the evening. It felt that in the jast the plays had been subordinate to the dance in the eyes of manv members of the school, and so it substituted an ample supply of refresh- ments. Robinson was the business manager for the occasion. The annual Alumni Dance was given in the New Gymnasium on December twenty-seventh, preceded by the customary basketball game. Due to the efforts of Kane, Barden, and Robinson, the handicap of an uneven floor was overcome and a delightful evening was had by all present. Many of the Alumni attended and old acquaintances were again met. On January thirtieth, the Mannikin Dance took place at the Thompson Gymnasium. The Colum- fjian Blue Blowers syncopated for the evening and Fuld and Ellinger managed the affair. A large number of the graduates were present and helped to make it a very enjoyable evening. The Library Committee next gave a Tea Dance after the Hackley basketball game. It was the first afternoon dance of the year and under the able supervision . of Barden and Kane it proved to be one of the best of the season. Refreshments were served and Guy Partridge ' s orchestra provided the jazz for two hours of delightful dancing. The Dramatic Club presented their winter per- formance on the twenty-seventh of February. The program consisted of three short plays ; The Medi- cine Show , The Game of Chess and Action . The Club, after a great deal of deliberation, finally decided to follow the show with a dance, which was held in the old Gymnasium, attractively de- corated for the affair. This seemed to be the better plan, as they had almost twice as large an audience as they had had at their previous show. Fuld at- tended to the business end and Paul Morris ' s Serenaders furnished the melody for the evening. The Adelphoi Club staged a Tea Dance after the Bryant basketball game in the Old Gymnasium. It was featured by the very high class music ren- dered by Clifif King ' s orchestra. The dance was 114 1925 HORACE MANN I KIN 1925 well engineered by Austin and Swope. Forty couples attended and passed a very pleasant after- noon. The apex of the sucial season was reached when the Senior Class hekl its annual I ' runienatie in the Crystal Room of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Friday night, April seventeenth. All former func- tions were dwarfed almost into insignificance by the tremendous success of this Prom. Some idea of its success may be attained when it is con- sidered that over one hundred couples attended and staved until t (j o ' chjck. when the dancing ceased. Too much commendation cannot be given to Kane and the Senior Dance Committee both for the efficient manner in which the arrangements were consumated and for the orderly and respectable way that the Prom itself was conducted. Two of the foremost attractions, were the excellent music rendered by .Arthur Skriiow and his band and the refreshments that were served. . s a fitting aftermath, the Dramatic Club ga e a reproduction of The Doctor by Compulsion in the New Gymnasioum on May first. There was a dance given after the play. No social re iew would be complete did it not mention Miss .Mcintosh, who through her continued efforts was indirectly responsil)le for the success of each dance and directly responsible for the suc- cess of tile entire season. 1924 APKll. 25— SPRING SHOW Horace Mdiiii Dramatic Club (jrand Fiallrooni Hotel Plaza JUNE 3— CC)M.

How vain is the attempt of any one group of fellows, no matter what qualities they may pi.issess. to reproduce even the tiniest pic- ture of the real life of H. M.! The spirit of school can no more be set down in black and white than the character of a boy can be traced by his photo- graph. And so we ha ve tried to make this book, if possible, more personal than its predecessors, and to that end discarded the statistics which would necessarily appear in a Mannikin review, and de- voted this space to opinions, narrow and personal if you will, but opinions which we feel are worth infinitely more than any lists of names or set of figures. It has always seemed to us that the way the Mannikin is run is all wrong. Perhaps it is because the school as a whole has nothing to do with it. They pose for pictures and are mildly curious when the book comes out to see the result. Each year the Fifth Form becomes Seniors and is immediately plunged into a bewildering mess of data to be col- lected and business to be transacted. They have had no experience and have not the slightest idea of where to begin. It would be much more efficient to use the college competitive system of heeling. That is, have the actual Board ' consist of five or six fellows, each in charge of some department. Then have as many boys from the fourth and fifth forms as would like to make the Board in their Senior year, collect the vast amount of material necessary, and if sufficiently endowed, do the write- ups also. At the end of the year, the Senior Board would then choose its successors on the basis of ability and the amount of work done. Under this system, a few picked boys are left alone to do the executive work in an unhurried and capable fashion, while hard competition has added hustle , and hard work, experience, to the chosen members of the next year ' s Board. It is a thing which cannot be started in year or made successful m two, but we would like to pass this suggestion on to next year ' s Board and to every class which some day expects to edit a Mannikin of its own. Not tor many years has the Record been on a par with most of the issues of this year. Horace Mann ' s paper deserves to be congra- tulated — and this is directed to the man behind the editorial gun. The fine spirit of cooperation and righteous thunder, where righteous thunder was necessary, which surrounded and emenated from most of the editorials, and the neatness and felicity of the general make-up of the paper were excellent. The second thing that we would like to men- tion while on this topic of school activities that are both new and worthwhile, is the Honor Committee. ' e wish that we could publicly take off our hat to the man who really started it. It didn ' t grow out of the sudden need of a year but was brought about by the personal influence of o ne man who was strong enough and confident enough to act as the guiding star of a group of fellows — though even they may not realize it. We are not discus- sing the method adopted. It has called forth a lot of criticism upon the head of the movement — and a lot of praise. The fact that a group of boys should have been moved by the desire to see H. M. as good and clean as their own ideals and those of its founder demanded, that they voluntarily chose to see what they themselves could do to accomplish this, is the great and noteworthy thing about it all. Seriously the Honor Committee is a new and good achievement and one which the Class of ' 25 should feel proud to hand down as a tradition of the Horace Mann to come. 127 Record Board Alan M.

(kirini; the year 1024-1925. has enjoyed its hest year since its estahlishment as a vital organ of the life of the school, is no exaggeration. The eighteenth volume of Horace Mann ' s school newspaper came out in thirty-two numbers of which approxi- mately half contained six or eight pages. The expansion of the paper into six and eight page issues is. in itself, an accomplishment worthy of merit. For. while former boards have been content to limit their endeavors to four pages of printed matter, this year ' s editors have had difficulty in cutting down the amount of suiimitted material. To conclude, we think that all that is best in the Record can be adequately summed wp in tlic following three colunms which during tlic year have comprised tlic heart and soul of tlie jiaper. as it were: editorial com- ment, colyum , and humor. A POSSIBLE REMEDY Senior classes seem ai vay6 to be confroiitcti willi Inian- cial troubles. If it is not because of the Manntkin. it is because they arc in debt on account of tlic price of the Prom. The Kkchro takes this opcnrtuiiity to rcommend a plan which we dccni not only pt ssib!c of fuItillmeiU in its present form, but one which can be Krcatly improvet! upon by the helpful suggestions and co-operaiiou of every member of the school. Every class has a treasury, yet the only duty of the treasurer seems to be such trivial matters as the collection of money for the Thanksgiving fund and like circumstances which may occur perhaps once or twice during the entire school term. .Most clubs and other organizations both in and outside of school have dues. These do not have to be in any way excessive, but should merely exist in case of emergencies which arc likely to occur at any time. Dues have a double purpose. They insure a class a backing in case it should ever run into a debt for some reason or other, and thereby they do away with the not only unfair but illegal means of assessing in order to make up for a deficit. And also they add a feeling of unity, of organiza- tion, of substantiality to the class as a whole. Had the Senior class a treasury, it would easily be able to sub- stantially contribute t  the payment of this most important social event of the year. And should a class have a sur- plus at the end of its senior year, the balance could be con- tributed to the Mannikin which is always in need of addi- tional funds. The tax on the individual may be ridicu- lously low and still amount to a considerable sum for the class at the end of one year. And with interest and addi- tions for the six years of its existence, it will run into very large figures. At the rate of twenty-live cents a month, at the end of ilic term, a class has approximately one hundred dollais in its treasury. And at the end of six years, with compound interest, one class possesses in the neighborhood of seven hundred and fifty dollars in its coffers. We think that this plan deserves the must sincprc at- tention of every member of the school, and we request further recommendations or criticism on this lo] ic which is of such vital importance to each one of us. ET CETERA r.y the time this column is printc 3 we shall have either re-elected our president, or have chosen some one new. And at this moment excitement is running pretty high. rgitnients arc racing, and insults are flying. We wonder if this election is really going to make so much ditTereiicc. l- or us. the country will run along in the same old way. Americans like personalities. They like candidates, while they last. Hut when a man is president, lie loses his glamour and we turn our enthusiasm back to Dcmpsey. Ruth. Chaplin, and Whitcman. At last I have 5uccumbe l and 1 have gone to see Abie ' s Irish Rose. It was as terrible as I expected. I laughed ai the rottenness of the performance and the childishness of the play. To mc the reason for the appeal of the jilay is simple. People enjoy friendly cracks at themselves. I am sure that more Jews tell Jewish jokes than Christians tell. And I think that that is the secret of the ' show ' s Miccess. We will have to wait some lime before the wooden saucer will be erected again. P.icycle Racing is the one like the dull, driving. We sport that really thrills never ending sound of the wheels aromut the track. We like the shouts of the men who have been sitting for hours, waiting to see their favorite win a sprint, or gain a lap. It is basic. It is sincere. It is life. It combines in its requirements all the refinircmcnts for success in ' ife. Team-work, perseverance, tuck, psychology. There arc times when it Incomes very hard not to l e sentimental. . nd even ibot-e of us who have comlemned sentimentality as foolish, and those who are much too grown-up to feel ai:y emotion at all experience a little sorrow at this moment. , peculiar enchantment falls over everything. The trees seem to blossom more greenly. The tall gray building suddenly loses its prisonlike counten- ance and turns into a soaring castle. Even the faculty change from dreadful dragons into tame household pets. Perhaps it is Spring. More likely ii is because we arc leaving a place which we have known and loved.

It was the first of its kind she had ever seen. Where did you get that? she said in a hushed voice, taking it from his pudgy hand. She examineil it as if doidjting its reality.

She wore outlandish clothes, but they were new ones. There were whispers of Meg ' s husband having inherited a fortune. Meg had really found a Goose that laid gol- den eggs. and she had no intention of killing the goose. She found that when her money ran low, she had only to tell her husband to go and get some more pretty, green paper, and he would leave, return- ing to the hut with a sum of money. She had nagged him at first to tell her where these riches came from, but gradually accepted without question The gifts the gods pro- vided. Her greed overcame all. One year passed, and Meg ' s needs were getting more than she could ever have imagined. Sometimes she would send her poor husband out two and three times a week. Her greed had become monstrous. Her husband, on the other hand, in spite of the care he was getting, was gettmg weaker and weaker. He would lie in bed for days, unable to move. Meg would feed him all he could eat, and then send him out as soon as he was able to stand on his feet. She had purchased a new coat, and a wondrous hat with two huge feathers on it. The result was a large bill, which was due the next day. Her husband was still in bed from a prolonged weakness, and her funds were very low. He ' s been in bed long enough. she thought. It won ' t hurt him tu get up, just this once. She got him out of bed, dressed him. and led him to the door. He knew what she wanted, but there was a dumb appeal in his eyes that almost made her put him back to bed again. But she thought of the bill, and pushed him out of the door. She watched him go staggering down the dusty road to the city, and a lump rose in her throat. .She was tempted to call him hack, hut she stifled her emotion. All that day she was ill at ease, and at nightlal! she watched the door, listening for footsteps. She could hardly sleep at night. She thought of her husband. Why had she let him go? She didn ' t even know where he went. Her greed had been all powerful ! Finally, wrecked with anxiety, she put on her new hat ami cloak, and hurried down to the city. It was damp and foggy. The darkness was appalling. She went quickly through t ' r.e al- most deserted streets, glancing fur- tively about her. At last she came upon an old acquaintance, an aged woman who knew everybody ' s busi- ness. Have you seen my husband? 132 she asked in a tense voice. The old woman looked up quickly. You haven ' t heard, dearie? she said. Meg shook her eyes staring. He fell in a faint. ' continued the old lady, and they took him to the hospital. He Meg didn ' t wait to hear more. She ran into the city, her new coat flying in the wind, and the hat with the feathers waved in the wind like some queer bird. The big public ward of the hos- pital was very quiet except for the sobbing of a woman. Thats a mighty sad case. s aid the head physician of the ward, pointing in the direction of a sheeted figure on a stretcher. That fellow- was an idiot, but his blood was per- fect. I used him in many of my transfusion cases. I paid him well, and I saved my conscience by say- ing to myself. What is the life of one poor imbecile, to all these others, perfect in mind, whose lives his blood has saved? Besides, he was most eager for these transfu- sions ; begged for them with tears in his eves. The woman there never knew where he got his money. His wife or sister I suppose. The poor broken creature huddled closer to the stretcher. The feathers on her hat waved grotesquely. OSCAR ROSE. ' 17 Manual Board Robert W. Austix Joseph Gitterjian Max Kops The 1924-1925 Horace - Manual was pi-esentuil id the school in the fall of 1924 by the Adelphoi and Aquihi Clubs. These two senior organizations undertook the publishing- of the liook upon the graduation of the clubs of the Class of 24 who had put out the 1923 book. The above board was elected from the combined clubs llditor-in -Chief Associate Editor . Biisi)n :s Manager and accomplished much of the work connected with this enterprise during the summer luonths. It is the first time in the history of the school that the Manual was given to the school as a whole by any organization. The publishing of this handy little guide-book has been taken over by the Deljihi Club of the Class of ' 26 and it will come out shortly after school opens next fall. 133 ' . ? ■.

AX Stroock 137 1925 HORACE MANNIKIN 1925 Adelphoi Club Review The Adelphoi Club was first organized five years ago by the late Mr. Rogers with four students, Heydt, Barnouw, Austin, and Miller as charter members. The Club then elected Mr. Gerow to assist them in their undertakings and to guide them. Since then the Adelphoi Club has grown to capa- city and has entered every field of school activity with marked success. The Adelphoi Club attempted to stimulate more school spirit by offering a financial sum for the best essay on the subject. The Ace Club Scholastic Shield was won by the Adelphoi Club in 1922 when the latter club was still in the Junior school. The Adelph(ji Club then turned its atten- tion to the athletic world the following year and startled the entire school by annexing the basket- ball championship of Horace Mann. It awarded a suitable medal to the leading scorer on the basket- ball quintet in 1923 in the hopes that keener compe- tition for points would result. The Adelphoi Club then presented a huge scoreboard for the games and this gift was a real necessity and is slill in use. The Club wound up the year by being barely nosed out for the Scholastic Honor and since then this donation has ceased. The next year the Adelphoi Club again won the basketball title, playing true to expectations, and procured some additional shields to be hung in the lunch room as a reminder of the school athletic records. The records were then all compiled and brought up to date. The Senior year has been very successful and the Club has taken a leading role in the campaign for honesty among students. It repeated, for the third conse- cutive time, its past basketball triumphs by again winning the championship of the school. The Adel- phoi Club took an active interest in all social events and sponsored a tea dance at school during the latter part of the winter. When a fund was inaugu- rated for the New Building the Club immediately contributed a sum. The accomplishments of the Adelphoi Club and the personal achievements of the individual members have brought about its success and its deserved prominence. The Aquila Club was founded in 1919 when the class of 1925 was in the first form. There were six original charter members, of whom onlv two, Henry Loeb and Joseph Gitterman, are still in the club. The late Mr. Kenneth Rogers was our first faculty advisor, and it was mainly due to his efforts that the club was organ- ized. The club was founded with the intention of promoting good fellowship and school sjjirit among tlu- members of our form. In the middle of the club ' s first year Mr. Rogers was obliged to resign his position as faculty advisor. The club voted to ask Mr. Ralph Beatley, Head of the Mathematics Department, to take Mr. Rogers ' place. Mr. Beatley held this office for two years until he was called away to Harvard. At this time Mr. Bruce was asked to accept the advisorship of the club. A good part of the club ' s success in recent years has been directly due to Mr. Bruce ' s interest and activity. During the third year of the club ' s existence the Aquila Club Review idea was inaugurated of giving a medal to the student scoring the greatest amount of points during the spring track season. This practice has been continued and a medal will be awarded again at the close of this school term. In 1922 the club donated the shades which are now hanging in the old gymnasium and which were used during past basketball seasons. Towards the end of its fifth year the club started to social life by giving a dance in cooperation with the Adelphoi Club at the country home of Max Kops. the club ' s president for the past three vears. The A(|uila club again cooperated with the Adelphoi club in ]nil)lisliing the 1924-1925 edition of The Horace Manual. This edition has been considered one of the best that the school has ever seen. The club has always taken a large part in school ac- tivities, scholastic, athletic, social and literary, and we may well be proud of the record we have made in our Alma Mater ' s club historv. 138 Delphi Club Siii.KVMiiin U II ' ii;i;ii. rKi:rTNMA. . 1 1;.

But we may safely venture that if April and May follow in the footsteps of their pre- decessors, the year 1925 will have been, in every phase, one of the most successful vears since the founding of Horace Mann. 148 1925 HORACE MANNIKIN 1925 Autographs 150 D.
