a hr rttiur ISrflrrtor THE PRESS CLUB OFFICERS President - Fred Binckes Secretary - Lena Hardin Vice Pres. - Marion Petersen Treas. - Austin Boyle Faculty Advisor - Miss McFadden At the beginning of the second semester a Press Club was organized to further the interests on “The Tattler” our school paper. The requirement for membership is the completion of one semester of creditable work on ‘‘The Tattler” or one year of membership in the Scribblers Club, a Junior High honorary organization. All Press Club members must maintain an average of C or above in all major subjects and an average of B or above in deportment. To retain his membership, each person must write one column of material for the paper or perform duties requiring an equivalent amount of work each semester, thus establishing the relationship between the “Press Club” and “The Tattler.” The members of the Club have been working hard for the equipment of our “Tattler Corner”. Money was raised toward the purchase of a typewriter for the exclusive use of “The Tattler.” Although no definite course in Journalism is offered in the High School, the Press Club members have been receiving some information through talks on Journalism given by Miss Walker. As the result of a Journalism Conference held at Michigan City this year. Whiting was elected secretary and is responsible for a conference to be held at Whiting, next year.

a hr rutur iErflrrlnr Whiting High School is just finishing another successful year in athletics. We are a four sport school and are endeavoring to put each branch of athletics on a permanent and self supporting financial basis. In addition to the four major sports which include football, basketball, baseball and track, much time has been devoted to swimming and tennis. Whiting High put her first football team on the field in 1922 and has developed steadily in this sport since that date. This year’s team made a good competitive showing along side of other veteran teams in the county. To survive the sectional tournament grind as runners-up in the tournament and being eliminated by only a small margin in the final game, bespeaks the strength of our 1925—26 basketball team. A large and enthusastic group of thinly clads were on hand at the opening of the track season. A number of dual and invitation meets have been included on the schedule. At the present time the baseball team is making a fine record and promises to finish well in the lead on the county schedule.
