RAYNOR How rare, a soul wherein justice doth abide In harmony with gcntleness and witg Whereiii the noblest form of pride, The joy of serving, dwells: And happiness doth reach its fullest tide, In the sharing of a gift, To see that gift used well. 6 Nos Cxifllflle 18 Sllfllflllllllj' 7 n To the Class of 1935, Horace Malin School. My dear Girls: You won't forget your first evening gown, your first theater, your first date, and I won't forget my first Horace lvlann Senior Class. For, just six years ago you were beginning to be Horace Mann High School students, and I was beginning to be your Principal. We've been over the road together-with its trials and tribulations, its happiness and its success. I've worried about you, scolded you, laughed at you, and been proud of you. You were the first class to essay The Story of lXfIan. You blazed the new pathway when the trail was not at all clear either to you or to us who were trying to guide you. Sometimes you balked and even revoltedg sometimes we stormed, cajoled and even threatened, but what a grand time we had with it all! They used to say that you of the Class of 1935 were my pets. And, now that you are going and it can do no harm, I'll just confide in you that you uwnf and arc. You were a high-powered little gang of rebels with ideas of your own, but I like rebels and I like folks with their own ideas. I shall not forget you. I shall watch you as you go out into a thrilling world. College and life will be full of ideas for you to have and things for you to do. I predict that you will have them and do them. I feel sure that these six happy years at Horace Mann have given to each of you memories to cherish, ideals to build upon and ambitions to realize in a world which not only needs your best, but which never offered to any group of girls greater opportunities. We shall expect fine things of you, we know you will achieve them. Peculiarly yours, 8 SENIOR CLASS 17 ice-President EVELYN DANZIG Secretary SHIRLEY WILKINS AUDREY BARON Her stature tall, I hate a dumpy Woman. NANCY DALBEY A willing heart Adds feather to the heel.

The Assembly room was attractive in itself, but the gay ball-gowns and the strains of tuneful music rendered by the orchestra contributed greatly to the atmosphere. The dance floor was illuminated by a Hood light with changing colors before which the couples gracefully swayed. Several young ladies of the class had formed a quartet, and during an interval they entertained the guests by singing the currently popular tune, The Flannel Petti- coat Girlf' Their rendition was received with much applause and appreciation. After the bell of midnight had sounded an end to the evening's gaiety, the young ladies and gentlemen donned their wraps and the dance floor was soon deserted. 29 C i J 30 THE SENIOR PLAY Monsieur Beaucaire by BOOTH TARKINGTON CAST OF CHARACTERS Jllonsieur Beaacairc Duke of WirztersL't fllr.

JANE TYSON N November 23rd, 1934, the young ladies of the Senior class produced the inimitable work of Booth Tarkington, lVIonsieur Beaucairef' Two perform- ances were presented for the entertainment of the school and its friends. With each performance, the actresses surpassed their previous finesse. They finally became accomplished enough to retain their poise sufhciently to improvise on occasion sIIch choice tidbits as, It's a very nice day. Yes, I might say, 'tis truly a lovely, lovely day. Yea, an elegant bit o' day. On the third observation a tardy entrance was effected by the over-late lVIonsieur lVIolyneux. flfgad, bllf a change of costume can be deuced awk- wardlj The force of the play so carried away the actresses, that, forgetting their identity in the duel scene, one of the roguish fops nigh well fainted from loss of blood, as his thumb was severely gashed. That was only one of the several casualties sus- tained in the production. Backstage, several feet were crushed and good dispositions shattered as a milling cast of sixteen endeavored to keep the proverbial silence on three sqIIare feet of creaking boards, while, before a hushed audience, the amorous Monsieur Beaucaire cast down his love at the small feet of Lady Mary. A truly modern arrangement was conceived in the settings. Instead of the old moss-covered curtains, lavish silver drops, impressionistic in style, were hung over gold screens. The theme of the play was portrayed on this artistic background. The YOIIIZUCC and delightful gaiety of the eighteenth century was transmitted over the boards by an enthusiastic cast to a most receptive aIIdience. 31 GROWING UI' CWith apologies to A. A.

She should be able to express herself by writing, creative art, the drama and music. It was to further these interests that, in past years, the General Association was formed. This General Association binds together all student interests, as above mentioned, and extra-cur- ricular activities, which include refined athletics and competition. There are four clubs, branches of the General Association, in which the cultural interests may be pursued. It is also most genteel to be a compassionate soul and recognize the sufferings of those less fortunate than one's self. In recognition of this fact, the Girls' League was formed, as a branch of the General Association, to further charitable work by the young ladies. The General Association tries to train its members to cooperate, be responsible in fulfilling obligations, and be unselfish in giving up their time and thought. Thus does the General Association attempt to further all student interests in the Horace Mann High School.

The Presi- dent says one day that the Fair will be an International one to be in tune with the times, and the next day the ticket committee has ground out the tickets and sold one to Teddy Roosevelt. The whole Board traverses the distance from the Alumnae Room to their respective classes sooner than you can say slack Robinson. The Girls' League has its own secret passwords. First uttered within the confines of the Board, these sayings are soon heard throughout the school: A The Penny Box is NOTHING again. 'WVe do need animals for the Fairf, Will not someone make a sun-suit ? The G. L. closet is the place in the school Ill0St redolent of atmosphere. Ghosts of past Fairs still remain there, and someone's ancient luggage is strewn about to add to the melee. Socrates, between the second and third Hoors, is probably amazed at these vigorous, modern young women, who hurry about collecting and selling things for charity. My, my, what a rush and bustle! But, oh fudge,,it's such fun! 35 THE RECORD BOARD Associate Editors VITA ORTMAN OLIVIA KAHN Head Reporter EVELYN DANZIG Business Iltfanager JEAN WERTHEIMER LOUISE CONKLING MARJORIE DAv1s JEAN ELLIS JOAN GOl.DWASSER Editor-in-Chief RUTH HALLE Assistant Business Manager MARJORIE LINDEMAN Exchange Editor HELEN KANDEL Columnist ELIZABETH MULLER REPORTERS DOROTHY HARRIS ANNE STERN JANE TYSON GRACE WILLIAMS cc ELL, why didn't you write your article? has become all but the pass- word withiII the walls of the Journalistic Society Chamber. Likewise, the answers to this question are all but identical, aIId nearly always the result is the same: the reporter succumbs to writing her article on the spot. It is these last minute creations that give the Record', its zest. Each of them is but a mirror reflecting the alertness, humor Zllld originality of its author, for in very truth Our girls are paragons of these qualities. Several IIew ideas have been conceived this year, the practicability of which will increase as the Record expands. AmoIIg these aI'e the notions of a Staff Photographer and a Horace Mann Press Club. Ideas were also promulgated by which the journalistic style of the Board might be improved. An Lll1SOlVCd mystery still hovers about the Society Chamber. The Editor hung upoII the wall two lists of reminders to guide the reporters in the composition of their articles. No oIIe was permitted to enter the editorial sanctum without having mastered the contents of these edicts. One day, a satire typewritten in red ink appeared in their place. The culprit is still being sought, IIot for her frivolity, but because much talent for the humorous COILIIHII was evidenced therein. 36 THE MANUSCRIPT BOARD Edifor-in-Chief JEAN FECI-IHEIMER EIPIIll'7lffIfy Ediior ANN NIENIJELSON EA'lTlIllIlyL' Editor JEAN HERBIAN LITERARY EDITORS GRACE BARRETT BETTY JANE CUDWORTH DIANA DODGE HOPE GREER MARY ELIZABETH HUME DoRIs IVES LORRAINE LEWIS HEI.EN MARKEL Jr!

That is to say, certain young ladies known to have the ability, and occasionally the desire, to express themselves in ink, are privileged to transport their daily trayful of goodies up to the small and select domestic science room on the fifth floor. There, gathered cozily about the little table, some twenty young females bandy words upon the desirability of admitting to the magazine entitled The Horace Manuscript, certain articles proffered by talented individuals of the school. These contributions, remark- able for their exhibition of womanly intellect, give intimate glimpses into the private thoughts of their lady-like authors. A maiden's joys and sorrows, her secret cares and soaring dreams are pictured in elegant and highly correct diction, sometimes in that pleasant and Howing narrative style Inost representative of daily speech, or perhaps in timid endeavors to exercise the immortal art of verse-Inaking, in Worshipful imita- tion of the glorious Tennyson. Some members of this incomparable society essay to be artists. A certain young lady's winning story is charmingly illustrated by her artistic friend. The cover of the magazine is habitually rendered most attractive by brightly colored and highly original designs. The publication is conceived in a lady-like and entirely befitting Inanner, for the purpose of displaying whatsoever talent for composition the young inmates of ,our school may harbor. And if the struggling efforts of our eager youth fail to please, or if our magazine should fall short of truthfully representing us, be not overly severe with us, dear reader, but- 'Torgive our wild and wandering cries, Confusions of a wasted youth, Forgive them where they fail in truth, And in thy wisdom make me wise. from In Jl'lCIllO7'i!lIll, Alfred, Lord Tennyson I 37 THE PATTERN OF A DAY LL through the morning the clock labors onward, tying up the minutes with a decisive jerk, fastening them one to the other to knit its pattern of hours. As if under a spell, spectators gaze fascinated, able to do nought but wish lghat those meticulous fingers would spin the stitches faster and finish their task post aste. Slowly, resolutely, the pattern grows, until four separate motifs concerning four different subjects of varying tempos have been completed with unbelievable patience and finesse. Then suddenly comes a new theme. Clear, sharp, unrelated, the picture comes to life. . . . Car-load after car-load of young ladies in uncomfortably close proximity is de- livered in the basement, and emptied into an attractive room full of refreshing food and animated groups of conversationalists. There are other scenes: of ping-pong games approaching the hilarious in mood, of intimate chats between the informed and the ignorant, of secret societies, where great events are plotted. Over the whole is cast a gleam of rejoicing .... The picture fades .... The busy fingers knit unceasingly. All too rapidly, the gay theme is completed, and the more quiet hours of the afternoon are slowly woven in. Here sports are shown in jagged modernism, the pattern dances to a strange tune, and turns mystic with a forecast of the future. 38 rf' . , . . .fvl'f'.foI'2-'- 0 s Q Q Q , si In ,ici 1 s' 0, ' o Q 0 5 o s Q ','lf1g.f'N ' l .'.'.'-u s' QHSO 0 Q W offsasow ' ' Q.

This department sponsors five different types of sports throughout the season. In the fall, when summer is fast leaving us, our young ladies are transported by means of a bus to a field in Central Park. Here they frolic and scamper o'er the grass as they play that rough-and-tumble game of Hockey. This sport is very beneficial to our lassies, for it enables several members of the team to get all the exercise, while the rest may commune with nature. In the winter, the outdoor life is left to our IDCI1, while we of the fair sex carry on with our activities in the indoor gymnasium. Clad in dainty cotton uniforms of various colors our girls are the symbol of etherealness. Our efforts are centered on basketball, and many a champion has been produced in our own dear gym.

Another factor of the winter program is dancing. This activity was introduced to the Horace Mann Seminary several years ago, and in the intervening time, much progress has been made. Our maidens wear black jersey suits which vaguely resemble the bathing suit worn when mother was a girl. Around and around the gym we trip and many a descendant of the three graces is among us. There is one activity, however, which has no particular season, but lives forever 'midst our athletes. For way, way down in the basement of our massive building is a swimming pool, and in that swimming pool a few of our students may be seen disport- ing themselves in the billowy waves. However, sad to relate, this pool does not afford much of an outlet for our vim and vigor, because it is all we can do to keep from touching bottom at the deepest end. Aside from that, however, there is hardly one of us who has not, at ,some time or other, dipped herself in its waters. When the first robin utters its first peep and the first tree bears its first leaf, we Horace Mann young ladies do not need much encouragement to shun everything but the Great Outdoors. ln the spring, the bus takes us to the tennis courts, where our athletic prohciency is again called forth. And so, as the school year comes to a close, we lassies are the picture of health, and caII safely say that the Young Ladies' Exercise Society has done its part in glorify- ing the American girl. , 41 THE DANCING GROUP THE SENIOR SERPENTINE 42 I 43 THE DRAMATIC CLUB Vice-President FRANCES LEvIsoN BARBARA BAEI-IR PATTY JANE BROWN LOUISE CONKLINO NANCY DALIIEY VICTORIA DIKE EILEEN DURNING ROSALIE FALK MARY GIES OLIVE HOLMES ELEANOR HUNT HARRIET HUNTLEY EVELYN KULP Prcsidwzt ELLEN NICWADE Secretary NIARJORIE WESTPHAL DOROTHY LAMBERT EDITH LANE JEAN NIACINNIS ANN MENDELSON ELLEN OOLESIIY PATRICIA PROSKAUER BETSY REYNOLDS NAOIXII SCHULMAN JASMINE TUTTLE JANE TYSON SUSAN WATKINS GRACE WILLIAMS MARGARET VVYCKOEE HE Drama Group, one of the General Association organizations, is the rallying point for the schOol's talented actresses. lt offers interested young ladies a chance to learn the art of acting, directing, make-up, or stage setting. The Club's membership is extremely select, chosen from only the most refined and skillful actresses in the school. The group has occasional meetings throughout the year on Wediiesday afternoons, but more often the young ladies may be found actively pre- paring for a production, for they spend all their free moments at rehearsals. The Drama Group endeavors to present two or more plays each year in the Alumnae Room for a small but appreciative audience, and one play for the delectation of the entire school. The assembly production is heralded with great enthusiasm, for it is the climax of the Club's yearly efforts to achieve finished and artistic performances. 44 THE FRENCH CLUB President CAROL REICHENBACH Vice-President CONSTANCE ZINN NANCY DALREY VICTORIA DIKE JEAN DOEIE DIANA DODGE JEAN FRANK DOROTHY GILLIES HELEN KANDEL EDITH LANE Secretary VITA ORTMAN DORIS LOWINGER JEAN MORRIS SI-IEILA ORDMAN ANNE SAKS NAOMI SCHULMAN ISABELLE SWEENEY JEAN WERTHEIMER SHIRLEY WILKINS GLORIA VIGGIANO A Societe Francaise has been formed for those young ladies who are partic- ularly interested in the French language and the French people. It affords ample opportunity for enlightenment on the life of that country, its customs, its music, its literature and its people. The society meets Friday afternoons. The formal business is conducted entirely in French, which, indeed, is spoken exclusively throughout the programg and the afternoon is deemed profitably spent by those of us who desire to improve our command and understanding of this most genteel and elegant of languages. As a grand climax to its year's work La Societe Francaise presents in Assembly one play which is always eagerly anticipated and greatly appreciated. 45 THE PAINT POT Vice-President M A UDE VANCE MARGARET BARR BARBARA BAEI-IR SUSAN BLUMENTHAL EVELYN DANZIG BETTY LEE DAVISON VICTORIA DIKE BETTY DEL MANZO IQATHLEEN FLUHRER JANET FRASER DOROTHY GEROW President JOYCE KOCI-I Secretary JEAN WERTHEIAIER ANNE HYMAN OLIVIA KAHN BETTY LEHMAN LORRAINE LEWIS ANN MENDELSON NIARGARET RICE DOROTHY SANBORN LOIS SAPIIIR HELEN STEFFEN MAUDE VANCE MARY ELIZABETH HUINIE JEAN WERTHEIMER CONSTANCE ZINN HE art of wieldiIIg the paint brush is an 2lCC0ll1PllSl'1l1'lCl1f indispensable to the polished young woman of today. That the young ladies of the Horace lVIann Paint Pot Society are aware of this is proved by the fact that there are twenty-five of them welded together in a common eagerness to adorn the walls of their Alma lVIater. These gifted young ladies exhibit special skill in their creatioII of posters for the Department of Physical Education. Rarely is a match of skill in hockey or an under- taking of the Young Ladies' League unmarked by some charming announcement of it to the school at large. Two achievements to which the young ladies of this society Inay point with justifi- able pride are the presentation of llfliss Belle Northrup and Miss Ruth Reeves before the assembled school in edifying expositions of fine and applied art, and the society's highly successful creation aIId supervision of a booth at the Young Ladies, League Bazaar. III the latter, the table of the Paint Pot Society, LIDOII which decorative goods were exposed for sale, was decorated after the fashion of the Hindus, for the fair was international in its IllOtif. Keenly aware that the impetuous rush of this headlong, modern world necessi- tates changes in eveII the best of things, the young ladies of the Paint Pot are at present engaged in considering the reorganization of their society. Consequently, under the skillful guidance of its thoughtful members, the Paint Pot bids fair to enjoy a future even more illustrious than its flourishing present. 46 THE MUSIC CLUB Vice-President OLIVE HOLMES AMY ABRAHAM RUTH ARANOW ADELE BOOKMAN ELLEN BROCK ANNE BULLOWA EVELYN DANZIG MARJORIE DAVIS VICTORIA DIKE DIANA DODGE JOAN ERPF HELEN FOOTE JANET FRASER JANE GAINES JOAN GOLDWASSER LOUISE GOMPERTZ JANE GORDON BARBARA GREENRIAN RUTH HALLE DOROTHY HARRIS JEAN HERMAN LEONOR HOLMES LOUISE JOHNSON LORRAINE LEWIS BARBARA MACLEOD President KAREN HASSEI.RlIS Secretary PATTY JANE BRONVN ANN NIENDELSON PARKER MCCORBIICK ELLEN NICVVAIJE MARGARET MOE VITA ORTMAN EILEEN NEWBTAN PATRICIA PROSKAUER RUTH RENAUD BETSY REYNOLDS MARGARET RICE EDITH ROGERS MARJORIE ROSS MARGARET ANN RUSK ELINOR SACK LOIS SAPHIR MARJORIE SCHLOSS DOROTHY SCRANTON CATHERINE STEFFEN JANE TYSON LOUISA VAN WEZEL SUSAN WATKINS MARJORIE WESTPHAL ELIZABETH WHITNEY SHIRLEY WILKINS MARGARET WYCKOEI-' HE Young Ladies' lVIusical Society is a source of delight and enjoyment to all who are favored with some talent for the IULlSlCZ1l. art, and to those of us who are only privileged to lend an appreciative ear to the melodies which our musical world affords. It is the custom of this society for the young ladies to perform before their schoolmates in numerous afternoon prograIns. Notwithstanding the scarcity of years in some of the performers, unusual talent and a pleasing quality in the rendi- tions are invariably displayed. One cannot help feeling that the Inusical society does remarkably well in effecting a Closer alliance between the young ladies and the genteel arts of the pianoforte and the voice as well as in developing a Inore instructed taste for the classical masters and their compositions. The Young Ladies' Musical Society is accustoIned to Ineet Wediiesday after- noons in the Alumnae Room. Miss Flagg, our directress, exhibits much skill and patience in schooling us in the pleasant art of singing, which is considered almost essen- tial to the education of a young lady in these days. The Musical Society does much throughout the year to afford pleasure to the other meInbers of the school and its friends by appearing in several concerts. 47 THE PEACE GROUP Vice-President SI-IEILA ORDNIAN RUTH ARANOW NANCY DALBEY HELEN FooTE DOROTHY LAMBERT LORRAINE LEwIs President DOROTHY HARRIS Secretary LOUISE CONKLING BARBARA NEWBORG VITA ORTMAN MARGARET RICE LOIS SAPI-IIR CATHERINE STEFFEN MAIJGE WILLSTATTER N the year 1934 the cause of peace grew so compelling that it penetrated the walls of the Horace MHIIII Seminary for Young Ladies and recruited the fair sex to its banner. Abandoning needlework and more feminine pursuits, a number of young ladies responded to its call and founded the Horace Mann Peace Society. III the second year of its existence the members of the infant Peace Group sought to settle it firmly upon its feet. A new system of standing committees, each to perform a special duty, was established. The young ladies brought news of the peace movement before the eyes of their schoolmates through a bulletin board bearing selections from various periodicals. Posters, promoting the cause of peace, were painted by willing hands. Speakers from well-known peace organizations were iIIvited to the Alma Mater. In all ways this Society seeks to further the cause of peace. The ambition of its youthful, but firm-hearted supporters is to make every woman realize her responsibility in this great cause. 48 MISS LAWRENCE MR. GSTEEN Mn? 5 Reeves I mt..

English-lVIiss Macbeth. Hepzibah's constructive attitude and consistent effort in revolutionizing Shake- speare's little masterpieces, The Dinsmore Series, cause nothing less than riots and mirth midst her classmates. But to me, she seems a little gem, a bud opening its pure petals to our complex world. She is making considerable progress and in three years, she will, with persistent application, be able to refrain from jumping at conclusions. French-Madame du Barry. Ce n'est qu' 51 Page de cinquante-deux ans que j'ai reussi 21 parler francais couram- ment. Donc, il y a encore de l'espoire pour la petite Hepzibah. COh-la-lalj La pauvre petite a des mauvaises habitudes. De plus, elle neglige sa grammaire pour se mettre au courant des intrigues de la cour de France. Horreur! Elle mordille les ongles des mains it lui en classe sans meme en offrir 51 ses camarades et moi! History--Mr. Beard and Beard. Hepzibah is enthusiastic and dependable. She adores to erase the blackboard and I can always depend on her to keep a dignified silence even when questioned. Mathematics-Miss Euclid. Hepzibah has taken great steps forward in her geometry. She now realizes, on seeing an a or b on the blackboard, that she is not attending a spelling class. Her greatest difficulty is getting to class on time, but since her home-room is directly across the hall from the Mathematics room, she may eventually grasp the fact that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. Singing--Miss Flat. Hepzibah has attained a lofty goal for she can now sing, with ease, all parts in a part song. In fact, she does. I have to use constant pressure to keep her from chiseling in on the sopranos' territory. The expirational and inspirational contractions of her dia- phragm place her well within the third seventh of her class. Gymnasium-Miss Muscle. Hepzibah has played a steady game of gym-cut this year. She has developed the skills necessary for team play and uses them effectively in all situations. She has gained a greater feeling for strategy and has shown marked improvement in deception. She is a great leader. If, after reading this report, you still believe Hepzibah is your daughter, will you please arrange to call on her teachers at their respective office hours. Sincerely yours, Miss INTELLIGENTSIA, General Principal.
