We came into Whiting High School, as Freshmen, in September, 1924. Of course, we made the usual blunders which afforded the other students much amusement. Perhaps the biggest event in our first year was the Freshmen Reception. The class of ’25 gave it for us in the Junior High School Gymnasium. It was our first dance and, though timid, we enjoyed it from beginning to end. Our class officers were: John Kekich, President; Martha Walker, Vice President; Irene Shinn, Secretary-Treasurer; and Miss Stahl, Class Advisor. This year we are under the more sophisticated title of Sophomores. Our interests in Whiting High School have doubled and we are most nobly represented in all school activities. Fred Binckes has made a name for himself in Oratory, and several Sophomore girls, in Declamation. Throughout all the clubs and athletics we are well represented. Our class officers are as follows: Edith Mackey, President; Vivian Clark, Vice-President; Fred Binckes, Secretary-Treasurer; and Miss Wilhelm, Class Advisor. Our biggest event has been our Sophomore party. On February 13 we worked like Trojans to finish decorating for that evening. The color scheme, red and white, helped to make it a very pretty Valentine Party. A good orchestra furnished us with very “peppy” music and thus we enjoyed our first taste of party-giving. We are now half way through high school. Here’s to two more years of fun, honors, and—report cards!

Nina Harvey and Michael Ference represented the school in the Lake County Latin I contest. Many of our Freshmen boys took part in athletics and did well.
