SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the Class of ’28 of the Whiting High School. And now if you will go with me back to the year 1924 when this class first entered Whiting High we will follow them through four years of striving and laboring to find the reason for these happy countenances on the day of commencement. In the summer of 1924 about 120 boys and girls were excitedly preparing to enter Whiting High School. Perhaps it was because they wanted to live up to their names that they were a little wild the first year, hut it didn’t take them long to learn that it was good policy to follow orders. The Freshics soon organized for any community enterprises they might wish to further. They chose a real leader, John Keckich, for their President; Martha Walker for Vice President, and Irene Shinn for Secretary and Treasurer. Having passed through the door of the first year, they entered into their Sophomore year, which found them less obstreperous. They were more enthusiastic about their careers and were determined to be successful. Fred Binckes entered the Oratorical Contest and won for himself a name in that line. He was also the Secretary and Treasurer of his class. The other officers of the class were: Edith Mackey, President, and Vivian Clark, Vice President. Just about the time when things were getting monotonous this class invited the other classes of Whiting High to a Valentine party, where all ate and danced and made merry. The days, weeks, and months of this term soon rolled by, and we find this group of students answering to the name of Juniors. The honorable officers of this year were Edith Mackey, President; John Keckich, Vice President; Edward Senchak, Secretary, and Fred Binckes, Treasurer. Following in the footsteps of their predecessors, this active class invited the dignified Seniors to the Prom, the big event of the season. The Japanese atmosphere and the dim lights had an enchanting effect upon the graceful dancers in dainty gowns. Also in the course of this year came the Junior Play. Ramon Navarro and Marion Davies couldn’t have done better in their first attempts than Adelaide Kortokrax and Robert Lee did in the “Blossoming of Mary Ann.” Fred Binckes once more made his class feel proud of him because of his accomplishment in Oratory. At the end of the next ten months these boys and girls found themselves at another turn in the road. They felt as though they were on the last stretch of a long, narrow highway. They had longed and dreamed of the time when they would reach the end, and now when it Concludt-d on Pane 59. Pa e 11
