In September, nineteen hundred twenty-two, about one hundred Freshmen began their career in Whiting Hi. The following class officers were elected: president, Kenneth Bought; vice-president, George Sharp; secretary-treasurer, Grace Pearson; reporter, Margaret Harrison; class advisor. Miss Simmons. The Seniors helped us to feel at home by giving us a hearty welcome in the form of a splendid reception. The following officers were elected in our Sophomore year; president, Ruth Hannon; vice-president, Vera Harshbarger; secretary-treasurer, Lena Hardin; class advisor, Mr. Larson. Our class was represented in the Oratorical contest that year by Kenneth Rought and Dora Malek. We are very proud to report that we won the second highest score at the track meet that year. Our class entertained for the first time at a Valentine Party given for the other three classes. In September of nineteen twenty-four, we embarked upon our “Junioristic” career, prepared for one of the most important years of our history. The people elected to pilot our class were: president, Vera Harshbarger; vice president, Richard Melvin; secretary-treasurer, Florence Wilkinson; class advisor, Miss Caninne. We were represented in the Oratorical Contest by Mary Moynihan, Morris Zeitlin and Nevaleen McCoy. Our class play, “Little Women-’ was an overwhelming success. In May we gave a “Prom” for the Seniors. At last! Our Senior year! Nineteen twenty-five—twenty-six! There were forty six of us left. Our Senior Class officers were: president, Ruth Hannon; vice-president, Hoyt Atkin; secretary, Kathryn Cart; treasurer, Kenneth Rought; executive committee, Vera Harshbarger; class sponsor, Mr. Griffith. During this year, there were Seniors at the head of the Dramatic Club, the Girls’ Club, The Tattler, The Athletic Association and the Girls' Glee Club. We were well represented in the Lake County Oratorical Contest by Janeace Davidson and Joseph Chilla. Our Senior play, “Mother Carey’s Chickens”, was very well received. Near the close of our Senior year, we undertook to publish a Senior year book which we hoped would become a worthy tradition for the Senior classes that follow us. As members of Whiting High School, we have always tried to uphold the traditions and standards of our Alma Mater to the best of our ability, and we hope we have gained the respect of our fellow students and of our teachers.
