Letter from the Editors
Folio 51 is a gender issues publication that strives to inform the Horace Mann community about men’s and women’s issues and to
provide writers and artists with a comfortable forum to discuss opinions on international, domestic, art, health, sports, and school news.
In your hands is Volume XII’s first issue. From Billie Kanfer’s report on the phenomenon of sexting to Vivianna Lin’s investigation on
the debate surrounding masculinity in China’s boys, This issues addresses “High School,” or adolescent, gender issues to illuminate and
elaborate on gender issues that affect the student body and people our age most directly. The magazine has also allowed vocal members
of the community to share their thoughts on gender issues in opinion pieces, such as Dr. Casdin’s reflections on his experience at an
all boys school. As we approach the end of our time at Horace Mann, this issue is particularly meaningful to us and we hope you enjoy
it as much as we’ve enjoyed working on it. We would like to thank our writers and artists for their thought-provoking work and Ms.
Woods and Ms. McFeely for their support.
Sarah Swong, Sinclaire Marber, and Vicky Marlin
