» The Refl« UHMgnHRRi HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’24 In the memorable month of September, nineteen hundred and twenty, ninety-six boys and girls entered Whiting High School as students for the first time. Class. At the first meeting the following officers were elected : President, Thos. Kedar; vice-president, Elry Moore; secretary-treasurer, Alice Maunder; sergeant-at-arms, Jerry O’Keefe; class adviser. Miss Liggett. We “broke the ice’’ into the social affairs of the school at the reception given us by the Seniors. We followed the Green and White in every field of activity and let the rest of them know we were there. In September of the following year, the same class assembled under the new name of “Sophies.” After the first riot call, it was announced that these people had been elected class officers: George Dewey, president; Mary Moore, vice-president ; Alexander Wayo, secretary-treasurer; Thomas Kedar, sergeant-at-arms. and Mr. Spittler, class adviser. We did our share of the entertaining that year by giving a hard-time party for the entire school. In nineteen hundred and twenty-two the class assembled not as “Sophies,” but as Juniors. These people were elected to pilot the class: President, George Dewey: vice-president; Catherin Harr; secretary-treasurer, Theresa Thiele, and class adviser. Miss Hurst. By this time we had acquired the name of “W hiting High’s Greatest Class.” When Sophomores, we won the interclass track meet; when Juniors, we had four boys from our class on the basketball squad, five on the track team and eight on the baseball team. Alexander J. Wayo, of the class of '24. won the Lake County Oratorical Contest in 1923. The class play, “The Tailor-Made Man,” was an overwhelming success. Near the close of the year, a “Prom” was given in honor of the Seniors. We assembled again in nineteen hundred and twenty-three as Seniors. There were fifty-three boys and girls left in the class. The Senior class officers were: President, Alexander J. Wayo; vice-president, Thomas Kedar; secre- tary. Elry Moore ; treasurer, Emma Vater, and the class adviser, Miss Canine. We have been well represented in the different activities in school this year also. The captain of the football team and seven of the players were Seniors. There were five Seniors on the basketball squad. There were several from the famous “class of twenty-four” on the track and baseball teams. We also cannot overlook the fact that a large majority of the “Tattler” and Reflector” staffs are Seniors. Alexander J. Wayo and Anne Marie Peterson. Seniors, represented the school in the Oratorical Contest in nineteen hundred and twenty-four. Alexander won first place again in the county contest, making it his second consecutive county victory. Our class play, “The Manoeuvers of Jane,” was very well given. In the course of our four years in High School we have tried to uphold the standards of the school in every respect, and have done everything possible for the betterment of our school. E. M. Sixteen
