We have spent many hours planning this hook and converting our dreams into suhstanrfe. We give the hook to you. hoping you like it. and hoping you will find in it all tht- elements-thoughtfulness, beauty, laughter --that make up Horace Mann. yfgyjxgzvvqfgyzgvmfvfwmwmxgfvml 1 73:3-wffiqgfnf-mgygpgwy wyuygf,-,A ff'-.751-fA.p.MX.

A true highhrow. Sascha was an important memher of the chess team. and served as secretary -treasurer of the cluh. Moose lVliller recognized Alex's outstanding potential and drafted him for the varsity hoop squad despite his lack of experi- ence. Alex was no stranger to the athletic side. having spent a season on the soccer team. Sasch was an active cluh-joiner. devoting his time and talents to the lnternational and Photog- D raphy units and the Religious Council. . . . has lieen grappling with l'hilistinism and hypocrisy for two years at Horace Mann. His detailed satirical cartoons were often the most outstanding feature of the liecord. Never trite or lmanal. they often aroused controversy and provoked argument. Henry was also Art lfditor of the Manuscript. His cover design for the first issue was thought hy many to he the finest in the magazine's history. As the last president ol the Art Club. Henry's liecord article marking the clulfs demise and deploring the materialism responsilmle won praise from the legion of Ancell admirers. His wil. harrying the pompous and the false. will he missed. 30 . . . was one of the most popular of the '56ers and for just reason his intelligence and wit de- served much admiration. An excellent writer. Dick enlivened Mr. Wells' English class. An outstand- ing athlete. he could he found after 2:20 on the various courts. Fields. diamonds. etc., in the pre- cinct of the charleyhorse. His sharp shooting eye made his set shot deadly and he won himself a berth on the varsity. His ahility in things his- torical resulted in his being among Mr. Briggs' elect: his general standard of academic achieve- ment was responsihle for his election to Cum Laude. . . . has shown extraordinary interest in almost all phases of Horace Mann life in his six years here. His scientific abilities have found an outlet in the Science and Biology Cluhs. while his athletic abilities were well used by the soccer team for two years and the fencing team for three. While commuting from one side of the field to the other, lien found time to stop for a while at the stone cottage, where he became junior assistant scoutmaster in Troop 501. He also was chosen to head the S.V.S.U. tours pro- gram. and has performed for the orchestra and Clee Cluh. 31 IUCHARD ARUNSOHN KENNETH HART fXl3BO'l l' T. BAUM RICHARD BENEDEK . . . might be discovered wearing either wrestling tights or a heavily striped Casual-aire shirt. His distinction in the former is great. Tim's agility and strength won him a regular position on the team as a Sophomore. and he has untangled him- self rarely since then. A leading socialite and member of the debonair lfast Side set, Tim set the style in Horace Mann clothing for much of his four year stay on the hilltop. His sense of the really comic and his appreciation of others make Tim a well-liked Senior. . . . has kept the coffers of the Manuscript filled to overflowing for two consecutive years. Une of the only boys to hold the position of Business Manager of the literary publication in his Fifth Form year. Dickls efforts this year were so out- standing that the editors found themselves in the unexpected position of being able to publish two issues. He has to his credit also member- ship in the Chess, Science, French and Print Clubs, somehow finding time to serve actively in all four. Dick spent a good portion of his time on the hill on the other side of the field, playing for the soccer squad. 32 . . . joined our Class a year late but promptly established himself as one of its top politicos. Two years of tutelage on the G.A.E.C. taught him the ropes, and at the end of his Fourth Form year he made a bid for the secretariat of the C.A. His idea of C.A. newsletters almost carried him to the top, but he had to settle for another year on the RC. as a regular member. In addition to shaking hands and making speeches, Charlie was often seen seated in plush luxury in a l-o-n-n-n-g-g Cadillac. . . . a do-gooder who did, distinguished himself early in his six years in these halls. As president of the First Form, Bob helped guide our destiny in an early, formative period. Always a willing candidate, Bob was later chosen as Secretary. His greatest renown came as a result of his valiant S.V.S.0. work. As student head of that most charitable group, Bob did a great deal towards the school's goal of better student- factulty relationships. Under his guidance, the mammoth task of operating the bookstore was successfully assumed. When not worrying about his two Kenyon courses, Bob might be found be- hind the wheel of the Bermobile or on the tennis courts. CHARLES BERCER ROBERT BERMAN WAI,'I'lCIi BICIINSUN l,l'IUNAliD BINDER . . . has devoted a great deal of his four years on the hill to the advancement of Horace Mann athletics. While garnering nine J.V. and varsity letters. Vlially was the mainstay of the baseball and basketball squad and spent a year tending goal for the soccer team. This year's edition of the hoopsters was built largely around Wally. and what success the team achieved could be attributed mostly to his deadly jump shot. For two years he has pitched for the l.ewerthman and this year he was a one-man mound stali. starting and relieving frequently. . . . proved himself a most respected member ol' the Class. due in large part to his exceptional oratorical ability. l.enny could olten be seen holding large crowds in his hand tpoetic dic- tionl and making them do his will. i.e. usually casting a ballot with the name liinder on it. lim- ploying his dynamic technique. l.en was chosen to the C.A.l'i.C. and to the secretaryship of the Class.

His tutelage on the was successful. although a weak offense that never knocked those ducks off the pond was re- sponsible for a not-outstanding won and lost percentage. Mr. liewerth recognized lVlike's true talent. however. and hrought him up on option. His achievements for the varsity were notahle. for he presided over the Riverdale route.

Pete played a few years of big league soeeer in addition to his other aeeomplishments. 30 . . . one of the school's outstanding literateurs, Arnie this year capped his extraordinary career in letters by being chosen Co-lfditor-in-Chief of the Manuscript. ln addition to supervising the production of the magazine. Arnie himself con- tributed some polished poesie. Arnie's most out- standing talent. however. is in the Held of music.

Arnie rounded out his varied contributions to school life by pitching for the baseball squad and playing the roman- tic lead in My Three Angelsq. . . . was one of the most outstanding athletes in the Class, but also won fame as an athletic entrepreneur. Dave won five varsity and j.v. letters. starring for two years on the howling squad.

The Fifth Form Carnival. the annual Junior jamboree. was a big success for the Damon liunyon Memorial Cancer Fund. Utilizing the talents of their journalistic experts. the juniors put out a program of Carnival events.

Rothenberg. Schaye. Steinberg and Wurmfeld xi rote actively. The consistently fine grades of Corman. Hoth- enberg. Schacher. Steinberg and Wurmfeld con- tributed to the Class' excellent academic record. So outstanding were their accomplishments that they succeeded in placing twenty percent of the class in their first quintile. All Horace Mann is divided into two parts. of which the second, separated from the first by a green expanse known as Alumni Field, is called. quite logically. the other side of the field. ln this aristocracy of muscles. a number of Juniors held positions of prominence.

YEAR at Horace Mann. the outlines of the Class of '6l's personality' are beginning to appear: the l irst Formers show remarkable scholastic aptitude. above-average athletic abilities. and a generous sprinkling of that rare quality. leadership. Toward the end of September. sixty'-nine First lformers trudged up the hill for the first time. limidlyp perhaps. but with eager expectations. As time passed. they became a vital. though some- what noisy element of the Horace lVlam1 com- munity. Among the many' highlights of the year were an informal debate held in the auditorium by' First Form Ullicers: President l,owin and aides some of lVlr. liouwmanis lfnglish students and a trip to Hear Mountain for fVlr. lteilly's advisees. Half way' through the school term. the Class took time out to go to the polls. ,leff l.owin. Dick Jacobson. Bill Lupatkin and Jeff Cratwick com- prised the Sub-Sub-l rosh's cabinet. The Class' academic strength is reflected in the number of consistent honor students: llarkan. lierland. Hush. liuskin. Chang. Dreyfus. lfvans. tlratwiek. Greenfield. Cropper. tlrosshut. tlutheil. Haimes. laeobson. Klempner. Klein. l,ovsin. Stone. Vlialdman and Vliouk comprised the elite fraternity' of A grabbers. On the gridiron. under the backboards and on the diamond.

With one foot firmly planted on the bottom rung of the H.lVl. ladder. the Class of 'Ol looks forward and upward with eonlidence. jirdf gown x ,Q . ,1- C ..,, A . .

Deriving its name from the name of Athens' highest olliee. an Archon is a leader of leaders . Admission to the society is emble- matic of unusual achievement in extracurricular activities. This ycar. when the faculty uas polled for their choices for this high honor. it became evi- dent that one name stood out. Frederick Jacobson was the sole Senior upon whom membership was conferred. Fred entered the sehool as a Sophomore. His prodigious scholastic feats soon earned him the respect of his classmates. ln his Senior y'ear Fred was chosen a Senior home room repre- sentative to the Community' Council. His sane, reasoned approach to complex problems was ex- ceptional. He was appointed chairman of the Council's lfinance Committee and dispatched his duties quickly' and efficiently. .lake took a prominent part in athletics also.

Chairlnan Sonnenschein THE INITI-XTION of an entirely new form - indeed. an entirely new concept Q of school governmentg and the adjustment to the intrica- cies of this new system proved a task of sub- stantial proportion this year. Despite general apathy and some premature criticism, however. Horace Mann's year-old Community Council con- cluded a trying opening term with moderate success. Last spring the student body. faculty and ad- ministration determined to shed the former stu- dent government system f under which the student lvody elected its own president and rep- resentatives who functioned entirely separately from the other two components of the school ommunifg U community - in favor of the community gos- ernment concept. Under the Constitution ap- proved last year. students. faculty and adminis- tration are elected to a common Community Council. General opinion at the time of the adoption of the Constitution was strongly in favor of the proposed form of government. feeling that the stringent limitations necessarily imposed on a student council would certainly be eased. It was hoped. moreover. that a group reflecting the opinions of the three segments of the H.lNl. com- munity could affect a noticeable improvement in student-faculty relationships. lt was. therefore. with great enthusiasm and high hopes that the new government was ushered in. The first change under the new Constitution Community Council: Younger statesmcn flank Solons Gallon. Sabin. Meyers and .lacolnson took place last spring. when a new system of nominating candidates for the chair of the Coun- cil was instituted. The Junior Class nominated Charles llcrger. lfred jacolvson. Jon Smith and Adain Sonncnschein in a prirnary. 'lihe entire school yoted Sonnenschein the honor of heing first Community Council chairman. XX hen the students returned ln the fall. a sec- ond change hecame apparent: the school had lvecn divided into home-rooms . groups of from twenty to thirty memhers of the same form. each of which was entitled to elect one representative Io ilu- Council. When the elections were over. the l.ouncll was ready to face the immense proh- issues. has caused some discontent among the more impatient students. The Council spent a great deal of its time discussing two issues: charities and extracurricular eligihility. The first was an exceptionally thorny prohlem. llc-cause of a desire for Horace Mann to foster its own charities rather than the New York Times' 100 Nec-diest Cases. the name of the an- nual Yuletide drive was changed to The Horace Nfann Community Drive. john Gallon was ap- pointed to head a committee entrusted with the conduct of the drive. l rom the first. however. the project seemed doomed to comparative finan- cial failure. for the change in name jeopardized the traditionally strong alumni support. Further- more. the Council left itself insufficient time to present a successful appeal to the students. It is hoped. however. that as the Community Drive tradition grows older and stronger. financial returns will increase proportionally. The Council seemed at an impasse in discus- sion of the second issue. eligibility. The member- ship was split into two main camps. with several splinter groups attached to each. The basic issue was whether a hoy should he allowed to deter- mine for himself whether he wished to devote his time to study or extracurricular activity. or if his failure in the former would in some way necessarily curh his participation in the latter. Yumerous motions were made. reflecting at If -'Wi Q Q0 UD 0 ' - ' if : off i . .

Born in sentiment. nourished in nostalgia, a good book must largely be a re- pository of pleasant memories. This innate bondage to tradition is at once a great advantage and a severe limitation. The MANNIKIN, in its fifty-year history, has acquired a great many customs in layout, design. and style. Some. like the dedication and the Senior history. are surrounded by an aura of healthy tradition which helps lend a character of permanence to the entire book. Others, however, have no such beneficial value in themselves and have been continued only through indifference Shapiro and Sabin discuss problems of phonograph record production. and a desire to conform completely to the books of the past. It has been the task of this year's MANNIKIN staff to try to distinguish between the two categories, enhancing the former, dis- earding the latter. The fruits of our labor are yours to judge. You will notice some of the changes, others are more subtle. Some are technical and may show themselves only to students of year booksg others are obvious. with even the most casual of readers observing them. Some have been merely changes Editor Shapiro in emphasis, others are the initiation or remov- ing of entire articles or features. Whether these changes in traditional format and style make the book more beautiful. more interesting. or less - that, of couse, is your decision. The MANNIKIX editors began their work within a week after the appearance of last year's book. The editors. in analyzing that publication, were struck by the great deal appearing without any apparent reason other than so-called tra- ditionii. We determined to resolve which of these customs were conducive to the publication of a MANNIKIN of high artistic and literary stand- ards, and which were not. Another early decision which has guided our work is that the MANNIKIN is potentially a publication of considerably greater merit than we had been led to expect. We realized that we could not fulfill this potential - there are too many handicaps S but we hoped to approach it. Our goal was to crystallize permanently one year in Horace Mannas history, and present that account in an aesthetically worthy setting. Our early plans were radical. We planned to pare down the books of previous years to what is essential or valuable and to build on that foundation. Another factor, however, which we had overlooked, was the aforementioned value of traditiong and the basis of the MANNIKIN in sentiment and memory. Upon realizing this, a Nl 'XNNIIUN Stall: rhigh artistie and literary standards. new image ol' the ideal year hook took form. one einphasizing not only the good. the true and the lreautilul. lmut also the memoralvle and the pleas- ant. lfrom these opposing lorees the Nldxxllvlx you are noyy holding. a sort ol third veetor. was to eome.

Dan Schu- man requested articles to do. and he proved so adept at first-rate reporting that he kept writing until the final bell. George lllecher and Fred Flaxman contributed a unique Fourth Form class article. and Flaxman wrote also the cross- country' review. Two Freshmen. Pete Kolker and Tom Uutheil. contributed to the book as did one First lsormer. lflliott Klein. whose elas article was of pro- fessional caliber.

The length of each page increased a full inch, providing an extra thousand words of news, features and sports for an avid reading public. The long, rambling news article, hitherto common. was banished. along with that soporific bugaboo of all highschool newspapers-the lengthy lead paragraph. The sports page was redesigned. with varied headline effects. including five-column compre- hensives stealing the spotlight. Even the back page. hitherto the repository of unnecessary con- tinuations, was revamped. Editor Kirsch used it for features and news articles of secondary im- portance. As one of the few school groups under com- plete student supervision, the Record presents many challenges which can be answered only by its editors. John Kirsch organized and co- Kolker, Rubin, Anvell and Meyers: barrage of enlight- enmentf' ordinated every aspect of the papers activity and was responsible for designing and dummying each issue. Kirsch also took charge of copy- reading. assigning and selecting photographs for publication. controlling advertising, circula- tion and other managerial functions. He wrote most of the editorials. John's chief assistant was Managing Editor Peter Rothenberg. who, throughout the year. contributed his services to almost every phase of Record publication. Peter assumed the edi- Wurmfeld, S1-haye, Rothenberg and Steinberg: back from Yonkers. trial duties several times during the second semester in addition to his regular weekly workg he was also a regular contributor to the news and feature columns and wrote a few editorials.

Under Mr. Ciricillo's patient guidance, the group developed from an aggrega- tion of individuals into a harmonious, well- trained orchestra. The string section, which consisted of some seventeen violins, 'cellos and a string bass, flour- ished especially during the year, carrying the melody on most of the orchestrais concert pres- entations. The brass section was large also. John Cartner's percussion work provided a steady, strong beat for the orchestra to depend upon. At the Winter Festival, the orchestra presented four Christmas carolsg in April the group played original compositions by its members and some by H.lVl. alumni for an all-Horace Mann festival. Mr. Ciricillo also organized the first H.lVl. band, which played at all home football games, belting out an enthusiastic 'Saintsw and a strong Marine Hymn. Music enthusiasts and football fans hope that Mr. Ciricilli will be able to devote sufficient time to both groups, so that they will become rich, pleasant Horace Mann traditions in years to come.

Tms YEAR THE CLUB program at Horace Mann has been improved both in student par- ticipation and in the quality and quantity of the various organizations. Since there is much more available time this year, the majority of the clubs are able to meet during shool hours, thus encouraging greater student interest. Due to the greater number and variety of clubs available at Horace Mann, every boy is pro- vided with the chance to find an outlet for his own particular interests and to acquire construc- tive experience in those fields. To Mr. John Oliver must go the credit for the successful scheduling and coordination of club activities. Under his leadership the program has flourished and become an integral part of the school. The most noteworthy addition to the club roster at Horace Mann this year was the Philos- ophy Club. Under the guidance of Mr. Pittard this group fills a gaping hole in the school's regular curriculum and is the first discussion group of its kind in many years. At its inception the club's membership was limited to the Sixth Form. but soon afterwards its ranks were opened to qualified underclassmen capable of maintain- ing the pace of the rest of the group. da Each Tuesday the group met in the lounge of the Stone Cottage in an informal, seminar-type discussion. The clubis enrolment of ten limited their discussion and study to the major germinal philosophers and their writings, starting with the Hellenic group and working in chronological order to Nietzsche. Each week there was a read- ing assignment and the following week the mem- bers analyzed that work. Visitors were always welcomed at these meetings but were requested not to participate in the discussion without hav- done the reading for that week. The club no formal officers and during the meetings Mr. Pittard acted as chairman. ing has The Biology Club, aided by further improve- ments in and additions to its laboratory facilities, afforded any interested student in the school an opportunity to carry on research projects of his own choosing. Under the dynamic leadership of its faculty adviser Mr. Harry A. Moody and its president, senior Arthur Brody, the club func- tioned as a specialized outgrowth of the Fourth Form Bio classes. This year white mice and hamsters were used in controlled nutrition experiments. ln another phase of the clubis endeavor, many boys devoted time to an observation of different botanical and 119 , .1- Stage Crew zoological microscope slides. The club also fea- tured a cinematic exploration of various bio- logical fields. The Political Science Club. boasting the largest club membership in the school. met every Wednesday' in the reference library' to accom- modate both its regular membership and the many' students and teachers who attended cer- tain meetings on topics of special interest to them. Almost every' second week the club featured an outside speaker who addressed the members on a topic with which he was especially' conver- sant. Following his speech of about forty -five minutes. the lloor would be opened to questions. Throughout the years the club was a forum for both sides ol' some of the most controversial problems of our time. The ollicers of this yearis club were Niichael Shute. President: Stephen Vleinroth. Yiee-Prcsi- dent: Paul Uppenheimer. secretary -treasurer: and Nir. Harold Wells. faculty advisor. to whom must go much credit for the elub's success. Horace Nlamfs own scout troop Number SUI continued to run smoothly this year under the expert guidance of Seoutmaster Peter l.. Cucker and lfxplorer Advisor Harry' A. Moody. The lirst of Troop 501 members to reach the rank ol' lfagle Scout were Senior Patrol Leader John Cartner and Quartermaster Kenneth liart. Their examples greatly increases interest in advance- ment. Scribe lid Sheller and Treasurer john Calton rounded out the Creenbar . Meetings were held every' Friday' evening in the Seoutroom of the Stone Cottage. This y'ear's troops made many local day'-hikes and one four- day camping trip to the Scout Reservation on Ytaten Island. The troop also participated in the sehoolis SVSU. Upholding the inteleetual traditions of the sehool was the Chess Club. it mrt every Viednesday' afternoon in the faculty lunchroom and from its ranks of twenty avid members the H.Nt. chess team was chosen. Playing lirst board was john Calton: second. Roger Pauley: third. Zach Schayeg and fourth. Joly' Stern. The club sponsored intramural chess tournaments. from which members of the team were excluded. and in this way' several new and improved players were discovered. Mr. Dean Moore served as faculty' advisor to the club. The international Club. one of the most active in the school. was mainly' concerned this year with exchange students and pen pals from the Sehadoweschule. H.lVi.'s West lierlin sister school. Beside the pen pal program. the club. under Nir. Reilly's advisorship. sponsored an exchange Speakers ol' tape recordings ol' various school activities lietween H.M. and the Schadowesehule. ln the spring the cluh held a Clothing Drive for the needy displaced persons in refugee camps in lfast and West Berlin. The eluh hopes to hring a German student to l-l.Nl. and it is now possihle lor Horace Manners to study in the Schadowe- schule either for a whole school year or for the summer. Une ol' the oldest eluhs on the H.lNl. scene is the Speakers tlluh. Originally devoted to promi- nent outside guests. the cluh has this year. under the inlluence ol' its advisor Mr. Albert Briggs. entirely concerned itself with the forensic aspira- tions ol' its own memhers. The meetings were deyoted to an address on some topic ol current interest hy one of the eluh memhers. after which the entire group discussed the merits of the speaker's arguments and presentation. An inno- vation this year was the use of a tape recorder with which a more thorough analysis can he made. This year's President was Carl Green: Yice-president. Steve Haas: and Secretary- treasurer. Nlike Levine. l or H.N'l. shutlerhugs the Photography Cluh. organized and advised hy Mr. llalph Vliiltsey. provided an extremely successful program ol activities. The elulm had at its disposal the use of a new darkroom where menihers could develop their own pictures. The meetings ol' the cluh were among the most varied ol any HM. group. At some Mr. Wiltsey showed some of his fine collection of colored slides followed hy a round-tahle dis- cussion on hoth technique and suhject matter. lliologists if lnternationalites At other meetings the entire group went on trips to places ol interest where memhers were given the opportunity to photograph yarious suhjects. Vic Kasner was l'resi4lcnt ol this yearis cluh. Boasting some dozen memhers. the H.M. liridge Cluh offered the tfulhertsonmen a chance to display their talents and improve their game. Nlr. Walter l. Nletcall advised the group and the cluh president was tiil Stone. through whose efforts seyeral meetings were held in conjunction with the liieldston Sehool. At these meetings girls from ll.N'l.is Hilltop neighhor attended in lull force. Paving the way to an understanding ol major national issues and providing its memhers with a knowledge ol the hasic principles ol dehating were this year's llelmating tiluh and llehating Team.

For seventy-five Seniors and their dates, the highlight of the social season came on April 20. when the tuxedoed 756ers descended upon the Hotel Plaza for the Senior Prom. Mrs. Miller's eliiciency in planning paved the way for an im- mensely enjoyable evening. 'The final event on the social calendar-the 7' yi Fifth l orm's big night Commencement Dance-was again presented by the Juniors to the graduating class on the night before the commencement exercises. Nlrs. Miller also assisted the individual forms in planning and running their own dances, work- ing in collaboration with the form officers.

But something that probably isn't as apparent is what happens to a team that is keyed up for a ball game when it loses. The boys on the 1955 football team found out this vear. After winning its first four games. the squad came up against Poly Prep, the only remaining undefeated team in the league. Only amifg joofdaf the Dykers Heightsmen stood between H.M. and its first lvy League football championship. Both physically and mentally the Hilltoppers were as ready as they could ever be. Pins, announce- ments, banners. cheers in assenibly--i'l3l'fA'l' POLY --everything pointed to this contest. October 29th was bright and cold, a perfect day for football. Uver two thousand gridiron enthusiasts gathered on Poly field that fateful Saturday afternoon to watch the duel between these two undefeated teamsglfoly. later to trample a PSAL team, with its great line and powerful single wing attack centering around all-American tailback Chuck Kaufman. and H.lVl.. small but speedy, running out of a T and led by the great passing of Cary Miller, an all-prep selection. Anyone who saw the faces of the play- ers before the game knew that they were up for this one. Bob Nlalkin goes for Ld. behind block of Petr- Xliller fl X i .24 I x' ag . NX fw- :,. . t, Y time-'Raw ' The Quinnmen, game as they come and burn- ing with the desire to win, stunned the huge Poly crowd late in the opening quarter with one of the slickest plays seen all season. Cary Miller faked a hand-off and hit Dave Hoexter in the fiat with a bullet pass. Dave advanced about Hve yards before he lateraled to Dick Goldstein who was trailing the play and while Goldstein was sprinting 55 yards for the touchdown, Hoex blocked out the Poly safety man. An upset appeared to be brewing. However it was all down- hill from this. the high-point of the season. A 7 yard end run by Kaufman and his extra point is I h , put the home team out in front just before half- time. Then a 35 yard pass interception gave Poly their other tally and insured a 13-6 victory. Poly got their first league title and the H.lVl. eleven 129 Gridmen in action saw its unblemished record and hopes for the championship go down the drain. After being keyed up to such an intense emo- tional pitch for a game as they were and losing it, the Hilltoppers were completely demoralized. Whatever the reasons for their complete ineliec- tiveness in the remaining two games. the team It takes at least four to stop Willy just didn't have it from that point on. The follow- ing Friday they took on an improving St. l'aul's squad and were shut out. l3-0. A week later they made an even worse showing, bowing to Riverdale, 40-7. Perhaps it is a mistake to start with the end of the season but that is the part which will most probably be remembered by the players. They may tend to overlook the fact that they rolled up that longest winning streak for an H.M. foot- ball team since the mid 1940's or that they placed Gary Miller on the all-league first and Dave Hoexter, Mike Cross and Bob Wilson on the second team but they will remember that all their pre-season hopes went unfulfilled. The seasonis opener against Hackley was a preview of things to come. As they were in every game this season. the Quinnmen were out- weighed. most noticeably up in the front wall. As in every other good showing that the Hill- toppers made, Cary Miller's passing arm was in fine shape and the H.M.ers walked off the field with a hard earned victory.

The other tallies were by Goldstein, Wilson and Don Hes- selbach. It is not possible to give the members of the coaching staff enough credit for the fine job they did. Mr. Quinn, the able, spirited head coach was ably assisted by Messrs. Torrance, Athans and Lewerth. Someone else that the seniors won't be forgetting is Gus, H.M.'s representative from all the leading tape manufacturers. Mike Wurm- feld, Jolly Stern and Ed Colby deserve credit for the fine job they did managing the team. Co-captains Liberman and Schnitzer OCCQI' MAICING THE MOST of their three re- turning lettermen, the 1955 edition of the Horace Mann varsity soccer team ushered in Mr. Cor- coran's first year as coach by posting a fairly successful record of four wins, seven losses and one tie. The team's scoring punch was supplied chiefly by Dick Meyers who booted home tive goals and Mr. Corcoran had numerous assists. Much credit must also be given to the hustle and team play supplied by Danny Greenberg and to Tor Mattsson's skillful passing and fine dribbling. Art Levine, Al Schnitzer and Mickey Schwartz rounded out the forward line. The halfback positions were high- lighted by Steve Weinroth's powerful kicking. Bernie Shavitz' aggressiveness and Alfie Par- isier's clutch play. The two fullbacks. Stu Liber- man and Tony Paley, provided the team wilh long clearing kicks and powerful defensive play. l or their outstanding play. both were elected to Meyers returns opponents' attack the all-Ivy League team and Paley was named to a position on the all-prep team. The goalie slot was ably filled by either Art Merovick or Ronny Fagin. Merovick's quick reflexes and Fagin's long punts insured many H.M. victories. After two weeks of pre-season practice. the team opened against Concordia and rolled up a Ii-0 victory as Dan Saxon. Art Levine and Dan Greenberg booted home goals. At St. Paul's the Corcoranmen made it two in a row as Bruce Fein and Tor Mattsson clicked for goals to spearhead a 2-l victory. Despite the rugged de- fensive work of Paley and Liberman, a 3-l loss to Hackley followed. Dick Meyers scored the lone goal for H.M. In the next two eneounters the H.N1. hooters howed to Riverdale.

Ronveaux takes usual first As I-'AR BACK as August 29. the Cross-Country squad could be found trotting slowly around Van Cortlandt Park. Howie Ernst, John Ron- veaux, Charley Owens, Dave Eichenholtz, George David, Ron Lippman and Howie Rogers com- posed the team that was to finish the season with a 5-1 record in high school competition. The harriers fan appellation of obscure originl rosa - Conn fry had eight dual meets, racing six secondary school and two college freshman teams. Columbia Freshmen and Rice High School were added to last seasonis schedule. Coach Thomason fre- quently juggled the line-up. Honveaux usually ran as number one man but the rest of the squad changed positions often. The team took second in the Ivy Champion- ships, a repetition of last year's achievement. Both Peddie and Poly were sent to defeat for the third and second consecutive year respec- tively. The one loss was to Stony Brook whom the squad has never been able to overcome. Ronveaux went through the season of high school duals never accepting less than first place. At the season's conclusion. John was only two seconds over the H.lVI. record for Van Cortlandt Park. Vvhile at New Haven for the Yale Fresh- men meet, he broke a high school record for the Yale course, finishing in a controversial tecl'mical', tie with last year's cross-country star Al Friedman. The j.v., with mainstays Niemi and Zorn. closely followed by Muller.

U Z?mLefL.J Asme FROM sERv1Nc in its usual capa- city of developing talent for future varsity teams, the Horace Mann junior varsity basketball quin- tet also compiled an outstanding record of 12 wins and only 2 defeats under the brilliant coaching of Mr. W'illiam J. i'Mickey Corcoran. After two varsity Hraidsi' the starting team AL f consisted of Al Wolfson and ,lay Fellows at the guard positions, Tom Meehan and Mike Wurm- feld at the forward slots and Tony Mthe cop Paley jumping center. After an opening day romp over Leonia, 43-33, and an easy 4-6-35 victory over Iona, the j.v. fell victim to a powerful Edgemont five, 58-53, despite the fact that Dave Siegel broke the scor- ing record with 24 tallies. Then began the long- est winning streak posted by any H.M. team this year--seven straight games-as Manhattan Prep, Tenafiy, Riverdale, Trinity, St. Paul's, Poly Prep and Trinity for a second time all fell at the hands of the Corcoranmen. Against Riverdale Pete Miller broke Siegel's scoring record by pouring in 26 points. A heartbreaking 52-50 loss to Scarsdale fol- lowed despite Mike Wurmfeld's 13 points and Al Wolfson's great defensive play, but they quickly got back on their winning ways by trouncing Hackley, Poly and Barnard in the last three games. f As THE 1955-56 sw1MM1Nc season unfolded, the swimming squad gained more and more con- fidence: by mid-February, the team finally began to show some of its indisputably great potential. Graduation losses counted eight from the 5-5-1 team of last year. This left Coach Malthaner with five returnees, some veterans and almost no newcomers. ln addition, there was not a - X X wimming Senior on the team. lnexperience and crippling injuries were largely responsible for the team's unimpressive record. On December 3, the mermen bowed to Peddie in what proved to be the first of eleven consecutive losses. The Manhattan Freshman edged the team, then the alumni. Poly, Columbia Freshmen, Peekskill High, McBurney and P.M.A. all romped. The team began to improve, but dropped meets to Pingry, Hackley, Blair and a return with Poly. On February 29, the team finally came through with a 34-34 tie with Hackley and then finished sixth in the Westchester County cham- pionships. ln the last meet of the season, March 9, the Men of Malthaner finally broke their losing streak, sinking Manhattan Prep 57-20. Pete Codsick f who, along with Steve Shappell, captained the team il was the mermen's individual star, winning almost all of his 100-yard back- stroke races and smashing the school 50-yard mark.

The Hackers then proceeded to drop two post-season exhibition games.

Art immediately distinguished himself on the varsity, proving the superiority of the Seniors despite the scores of the scrim- mages. The starting team usually had such stalwarts as Mike Cross. Dave Hoexter and Don Colson on it. It was rumored that many of the team's plays were run out of a single wing. but Corn- stein denies this. Colson was usually the teanfs high scorer. his great set shot ripping the cords often. behind the powerful hlocking of the other four memliers of the team.

Andre J. Hannotte of Belgium the l956 edi- tion of the Fencing Team compiled a little short of amazing four and one record, a total not dupli- cated since the teamis inception. The team boasted four stars. Marcel Sadik, La Suisse's great sabre specialist, hacked apart his share of opponents. A student of Ceorgi Sentelli, Marcel spent most of the practice time trying to convince his fellow-European, M. Han- notte, that he should be first man. Ken Bart, a native New Yorker, also was outstanding. Manny Rodriguez had his own brand of fencing which consistently baflied his opponents. He was par- ticularly effective in tight spots. John Wolfson. whose attire was not always the proper fencing regalia, managed to hold his own, particularly with referees. Also a great help was the team's scorekeeper and morale booster, Pete Chen, who also turned in a first-rate performance in the year's concluding match. The team made most effective use of its re- turning lettermen. After an unfortunate opening loss to Hackley, the team downed McBurney twice. Following this the team journeyed to the scenic Hudson Valley and, in a difiicult match. punctured Storm King, the l950 Westchester champions. The final match of the season was a return with l-lackley, in which the squad re- gained its laurels. M.

The team's record alone, though, does not in- dicate the true proficiency of their performance. Four new highs were attained in scoring which will probably remain for many seasons to come. The best match team average of 16-1, the high Sngle game team average of 177, and the best series average of 194- for three games bowled by Dick Stuart are all superior to the previous records. Don Golsonis season average of 164, Dick Stuart's 162 and Dave Cornstein's 161 are all improvements over the old record of 154. What's more six members of the squad earned membership into the elite N200 Club which up until this year had only four members. As a final note of distinction, Dick Sarna came in first in the Westchester County Championships, the first H.lVl. kegler ever to gain that distinction. However this excellent showing was no acci- dent. A large part of the squad, consisting of Dan Greenberg, Bruce Fein, Dave Cornstein, Dave Hoexter, Dick Stuart, Don Colson, John Mitchell, Dick Sarna, Larry Veit and Howie Stein were two year men, hence, the boys were able to take full advantage of coach Carl Cran- dall's fine tutelage.

At the mo- ment they hold undisputed first place in our division of the league and apparently all that stands between them and the glory is the play-off game with the winning team of the Long lsland section-slated to be held at Baker Field late in May. lnstrumental in their surge from the Leagues cellar to its vertex were two players, each out- standing in his field, each delivering their ut- most at all times, each coming through con- sistently in the clutch. The pair were Wally Bernson and Dick Goldstein-two of the finest diamond prospects to come to Horace Mann in many a year. Bernson, a highly effective right-handed pitcher with a sharp breaking curve ball mixcd in with a sizzling fast ball and occasionally a tricky change-up, has uncannily come through for lVlr. Lewerth so far this season. An iron man of endurance, Walter has pitched in every game this year. At one time he compiled a string of over twenty shut out innings which included a stretch of ten and two thirds consecutive innings of no-hit, no-run ball in the twelve inning 2-2 tie with Stony Brook. While Bernson is out on the mound keeping the opposition's runs to a minimum, clean-up batter Dick Goldstein is busy with his stick Baseball team: wins division championship I Nl r. Lew:-rth accumulating runs for the H.lVl. nine. Dick, cur- rently belting out hits at a .4211 clip, has numer- ous extra base knocks to his credit including a line drive home run to deep center field at Hackley. Not only is Dick outstanding at the plate, but he is also a demon in the field, ably covering the area around third base. Playing on Dick,s left is the slick fielding sophomore shortstop sensation, Tom Vasell. Tom has also been coming through with those base hits just when the team needs them most. Un the other side of second base utility man Gary Miller, a four year veteran on the varsity. covers a lot of ground. Cary, who apparently has his eye on the ball, has had some bad luck. hitting sharp liners right at opposing lielders. Goldstein rounds third A bad break for the team occurred when Tony Paley, the experienced first sacker. injured a finger in one of the first games and was lost for the duration of the season. ,lack Goudie, a fine outfielder made the big switch from left field to help fill in the gap. That left Bob Goodkin, Don Colson and Eric Berger in the outfield slots. Berger was, perhaps, the biggest surprise of the year. With only one year of experi- ence, he came up to the varsity and immediately won a starting berth in centerfield due to his fine hitting ability and exceptional fielding. Both Colson and Coodkin were occasional de- lhis is next year mons with a bat and covered their respective pastures with increasing efficiency Backing up the plate was reliable Steve Shultz who had the knack of keeping his pitchers calm. Steve was also a fine batter Messrs lewerth and Allison continued to do an outstanding job teaching the boys the finer points of the game and keeping the morale of the team high. ln the latter category they were assisted by the squad's co-captains. Dick Gold- stein and Cary Miller. The two reliable man- agers, Hichie Case and Bob Gales also deserve a good deal of credit for keeping the team a smooth-running organization. . 'll Beagle! UNDER THE TUTELAGE of Messrs. Tor- rance and Malthaner, the 1956 edition of the j.v. Baseball team turned in another successful season. The team, composed of eleven Sophomores and three Juniors, continued to serve in its most im- portant function of developing talent for the varsity, of providing Fourth and Fifth F ormers with the baseball experience necessary to trans- form potentially fine players into polished varsity performers. Foremost among this season's crop of Sopho- mores were two pitchers, Harris Marx and Ron Ceisler. Ceisler was best known for his sizzling fastball, while Marx' control and breaking stuff were outstanding. Forming the receiving end of the battery was Junior Roger Kahn, occasionally spelled by Dave Kornberg. Stan Jacobs, a Fifth Former, nailed down a starting position as first baseman. Andy Krulwich was in charge of the keystone sack. His double- play partner, Steve Steinberg was a slick-fielding , 4 it 'f 1 , .. .9-2 . ' s. Bad hop shortstop, providing that strong defense down the middle. Power-hitting John Mendelson, a soph, was a solid wall at third base. Patrolling the green pastures were Bob Rosier in right field, Bob Marrow in center and Bob Poster or Marx in left. .Ion Weintraub served capably as manager. ,I.V. Baseball team: successful year Ib: 1 1 ' - E Tennis team: unlimited potential indicates successful net season ennid Tms YEAR's TENNIS TEAM faces, as the MANNIKIN goes to press, a difficult task: living up to the incredible standards set by previous teams. Loaded with top-flight talent, yet com- pletely unpredictible, the team might very well set a few new, higher standards of its own. The tennis tradition at Horace Mann is strong. Under Doc Crandallis watchful super- vision, the team has passed from season to season without losing. The netmen racked up forty-three straight victories before being toppled by Scarborough three years ago and have not lost in twenty-three encounters since then. Heading this year's squad will be Senior Arthur Merovick. Considered perhaps the finest player ever to grace the hilltop courts, Art was number two man last year. The word was spread around the Ivy League fwhich the squad has dominated since its inception, winning each year except onej that Merovick, only a Junior, was the man to watch. His activities on courts away from H.M. have served to increment his fame: he is ranked among the outstanding juniors in the east. His smoking service, superb ground strokes and expert net game combine to make him the team's outstanding player. Playing in the second position will be another Coach Crandall Senior, Paul Block. Paul, a veteran of many seasons on the school's courts, reached the finals of the fall tournament, losing in the final round to Merovick. When having a good day on the clay, Paul can dazzle his opponents with the great speed and power of his service. Even when caught in the coils of one of his rare bad spells, Paul can still be a tough opponent for any high school player. In the third position will probably be a Sopho- more, Roger Pauley. Last year. while a mere Freshman, Hog first appeared on the varsity Block serves an ace courts and proceeded to astound all observers with his net precocity. Taking to the racket as though he had been born with it, Roger turned in some brilliant showings against more experi- enced opponents. His excellent form has won him a position on the team despite Mr. Crandal's well- known preference for experienced netmen. There was a significant gap behind these three, and if the team has difficulties this season it may well be because of this. The fourth posi- tion was up for grabs. Jim Sabin has spent many hours working out for the varsity for the past two years, and his experience, speed and ground- strokes may win him the fourth position. His chief rival will probably be Bob Berman, also a Senior, whose steady, cautious game often sends over-eager players to their downfalls. Ber- man is likewise a seasoned veteran. Fred Jacobson, a recent convert from shot- putting, has used those arm muscles to make his serve bullet-like. He shows great power on his forehand also, but inconsistency is his severest handicap. Several others are on the team. Starr, Flattau and Zucker work out daily and may see action. indeed, from among this group it is possible that a regular may emerge. Coach Carl Crandall is not resting on his well-earned laurels. Several teams in the league have set their sights for H.M.. the defending champion. Moreover, the rugged schedule in- cludes several college freshmen teams. He there- fore insists on daily workouts and top-grade per- formances from his first five men. His quiet, experienced instruction has done wonders for his teams in the past. lf this yearis squad can live up to its potential, another lvy championship and undefeated season appear as probable rewards. Merovick slams forehand loving juc Relay team: bark from Penn record-setting Tms YEAR,S TRACK TEAM, well-trained and experienced, gives promise of being one of the most successful ever to show its heels to opponents. The team's great strength in all events was made obvious in the Hilltop Championships. ln this pentagonal meet, the squad finished in second, four-and-one-half points behind Man- hattan Prep, the victor. But more striking was AL the fact that the men of Mann garnered more first places that any of the other competitors. Finishing behind H.lVl. were Riverdale, Field- ston and Barnard. George Green's performance in the shot-put was outstanding. Tossing the twelve-pound weight easily, George set a new meet and school mark with a heave of 48 ft. 9 in. Green himself was the holder of the old record. .l.V. Tracksters Bob Wilson, a veteran of many seasons with the team, took three blue ribbons in the 100, 220 and broad jump. Willy continues to push the ten-second mark, and by the end of the season he may have set a new school record. Johnny Honveaux promises to be a sensation in the mile. He won the Hilltop mile with his best time yet. 4:41.41 He may be threatening Al Friedmanls mile record by the time he is a Senior. Jim Cordon, a newcomer to the squad, won .F-tr the novice mile in 5:01. What makes this feat outstanding is that he took first in this event after only two weeks of training. Another bright prospect, Coach Thomason looks to Jim, only a Sophomore, for great improvement. The team travelled down to Philadelphia to compete in the Penn Relays. In Horace lVlann's heat. the mile relay team took third behind Poly and Stony Brook. ln finishing third, however, the squad set a new school record of 3:39. Four men, improve its performance in this meet in order to win the Ivy League championships, to be held on May 12. Coaching the team again this year was Mr. Robert Thomason.
