New initiatives on behalf of alumni continue to connect graduates of Horace Mann from across the generations with the HM community of today. As Horace Mann’s alumni visit campus, or gather at events, they inevitably exchange reflections on favorite classes and teachers, or the big games, theatrical performances or the pranks and pratfalls that create meaningful memories— and keep HM’s alumni and families connected to this school. These memories are also among the many reasons Horace Mann’s community supports its school through its Annual Fund. In honor of Horace Mann’s 125th year, we offer 125 of these recollections, in no significant order, to stir your own memories of your school. Please, keep the conversation going, by submitting your own memories to: magazine@horacemann.org, and add your support by clicking on www.horacemann.org/support. th 1 What is in that time capsule we buried on Clark Field in 2001? 16 The Dorms 17 “The flowers are freezing, awaiting the warmth of the spring.
