I served as the official school photographer for the ninth-grade class at Horace Mann. Instead of completing assignments in my journalism class, I was selected
for the role of photographer. While I recognize many of the students featured in the newspaper, I don't recall taking these specific pictures. Although numerous photos in the graduating yearbook were mine, I never received any recognition for them. It was a labor-intensive task, spending countless hours in the darkroom mastering the art of developing and printing. Reflecting back, I wish smartphones like the iPhone had been available earlier; it would have streamlined the process significantly. I could have simply had Walgreens print the pictures, freeing up my afternoons for leisure. Thank you for sharing once again -- Larry Slayen ’62

Trying to remember the name of the girls flag football game that Rose Bergquist invented. We wore those colored penny’s to signify which team we were on. We put them on over our heads and they tied on the side. I remember as a kid, reading an article about it in the San Diego newspaper. It was kinda her claim to fame. Today’s article in the Horace Mann newspaper about her and her twin sister reminded me about this game we used to play. Can’t remember any of the rules, but it was fun -- Sherri McCormack Burch ‘69
