SENIOR CLASS HISTORY What a noise! No, it wasn’t an explosion at the Standard Oil Company. It was only the raw material—one hundred fifty Freshies—entering the refinery. With Lillian Klose as foreman, Walter Schrage as assistant foreman, David Bopp as timekeeper, Doris Jane Green as treasurer and Miss Fugate as director, we started for our goal, the Commencement of 1930. The Senior Class of 1927 saw that we Freshmen were a little backward and to help us feel at ease it entertained us at a Reception. We, with the Juniors, won the Basketball Ticket Sale Contest. One unit of the process had been completed and we were ready to enter the next stage as a Sophomore Class of one hundred and sixty members. Stanley Davies We elected David Bopp, president; Marjorie Peter- sen, vice-president; Thomas Ryan, secretary and Lucille Witter, treasurer. We, with the Seniors, won the Ticket Sale Contest again. Our social activity for this year was the Sophomore party. At the end of the third quarter, Mr. Emick, who had been our class advisor, was given a leave of absence to complete some work at the University of Chicago and Mr. McAdarn was elected in his place. The next year we started on the last half of the refining process with one hundred twenty-one members. David Bopp, Herbert Harris, Lorraine Miller, and Stanley Davies were our officers, and Miss Canine our advisor. For the third time we won the Ticket Contest. Leona Poracky won first place in the Novice Typewriting Contest. Emil Kacer and Marjorie Petersen represented our class in oratory. Ruth Sheet , represented Whiting High in the annual State Poster Contest. Daddy Longlegs, which was our first dramatic attempt, was a great success. The Junior Promenade was a fitting climax to a notable year; the Juniors entertained the Seniors in the boys’ gymnasium which had been transformed into a country club with a clubhouse veranda, a golf green, and lawn tables. As the Class of 1929 was turned out a finished product, the Class of 1930 entered into the last stage of the refining process.
