Located in Riverdale, the "Home of the Archies," Horace Mann was famous for being the first private school named after an advocate of public education. And, yes, as for the Archies, they were in fact all over the place. The school's motto is "Magna est veritas et praevalet," meaning "Great is the truth, and it prevails." It comes from the King James version of the Old Testament, which is usually translated today as "Magnum est vino et caseus," because no one knows Latin anymore. Many movies were shot on the Horace Mann campus, including Splendor in the Grass, Urbania, and The Incredible True Adventures of Two Young Girls in Love with Themselves. Other movies, like the ones below, are best forgotten.
