In June of 1940 Don Booth was photographed as he pointed out a feature in the Magna Carta mural on which he was working to two of his fellow artists, Ardith Toth (standing) and Jean Shiplett. The 18 foot long mural was created by the 6-A Art and History classes at Horace Mann school under the direction of Mrs. Lorraine Pike, a teacher at the school. Sixteen artists, all under the age of 12, worked on the masterpiece entitled "John Gets Ready to Sign the Magna Carta." The other students in the classes posed for the various figures who appeared in the mural which depicted the acceptance of the Magna Carta by King John of England. It took the students three months to complete and when finished it was hung in the school's upper hall. In 1953 a new Horace Mann school was built at South 52nd and J Streets, and the old building was torn down. (T. Times, 6/6/1940, pg. 5)
