W. Horden i tr«ilion ..r— m You are to be congratulated upon the completion of your high school career, and your parents are to be commended for making it possible for you to reach this goal. We regret that some of those who started out with you on this educational journey have been lost on the way. You arc graduating at a time when our country is in the throes of a great economic adjustment. Because of this situation, society will demand more and better trained individuals; therefore, I urge you to continue your education in college. If it is not possible to go on to college, then you should make every use of your high school training that you can. We trust that the agencies that have contributed to your education, especially the school, have developed in you the proper attitude toward life—such as loyalty, honesty, courage, belief in self, and the like. These are more important than history, algebra and Latin. Let me urge you to put into your life enthusiastic effort, a willingness to cooperate, a desire for high ideals, and you will get there from a pleasurable and profitable experience. W. W. BORDEN, Superintendent The Whiting schools are fortunate in having a very efficient Hoard of Education. I)r. Bransky was chosen president for this year, Mr. Salapski, secretary, and Mr. (jambril, treasurer. The untiring efforts of these men are continually being expended for the best interests of the school. J’nard of Education: O. E. Bransky, J. Ross Gambril, John Salapski the reflector encc which the atlmmistr«ilion The Reflector staff has selected the Century of Progress idea as the theme of this book. The great exposition which is being held at our very doorway is making us more conscious of the remarkable development that has taken place during the past century, in every field of civilization. Education has contributed much and has been a controlling factor in the great advance of science and progress. This graduating class has benefited by the experience and knowledge of the previous generation. You stand as an example of the finished product of the modern high school. You have enjoyed privileges and advantages far beyond the fondest hopes of your parents and forefathers. Through modern curriculum offerings and extra-curricular opportunities, your school life has been changed from a period of scholastic drudgery to a happy yet highly profitable experi-average student regrets to leave behind. The Class of 1933 has been a most aggressive and active group. You have been leaders in the activities of the school. It is with much regret that we bid you adieu as you graduate from Whiting High School. L. C. GRUBB, Principal The Student Council is made up of the class presidents, one student elected from each class, and a representative from each home room. The purpose of this council is to assist the principal in getting student opinions on problems of the school. Sealed: J. Campbell, I. Toth, M. Gambril, C. Feeney, K. Maliek, M. Stanton, 1.

In February of 1923, at the beginning of the second semester, classes met for the first time, but the entire building was not ready for classes until September of that year. When it first came fully into use, the grades, from the fourth to the eighth inclusive, were housed in the building. However, in 1927 a new Primary building was completed and the lower grades were moved to the McGregor building. In the fall of 1931 the entire school system was reorganized, a new system being put into use in which the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades were assigned to this building. Tihs improvement made our system of the type generally approved throughout the country. The Junior High is made up of fourteen regular home room groups. Thirteen groups are given advanced vocational instruction. The students arc encouraged to take part in extra curricular activities for which purpose clubs hav - been instituted. Those already well organized arc: Science Club, Nature Club, Pep Club, MacDowell Club, Travel Club, Journalism Club, Readers Club, Health Club. Mr. E. L. Riordan, principal of the Junior High, was assigned this position in 1924, being transferred from the science department. In the nine years he has been head of this department, he has done much toward making the Junior High a perfectly organized sector of the school system. Junior High School the reflector health iii 14! attendance Miss Grace Lee has had charge of the City School Health Department for four years. Miss Lee, after graduating from St. Luke’s Hospital, Chicago, was active for nineteen months in the Red Cross during the World War. Upon returning from France she took a post-graduate course in the Michael Reese Hospital. Following this she organized and was supervisor of the Pediatric Department of St. Luke’s Hospital for four years. The health department is an important factor in our school. Grade school children are examined regularly, preventing many Miss Lee Mrs. Hoskins cases of serious diseases. Our school is also fortunate in receiving aid from various city organizations. Funds have been provided to take care of emergency tonsil and adenoid operations, and to furnish glasses to those who could not afford them. We extend thanks to these groups for their help to both the school and the children. Mrs. Hoskins has been our attendance officer for twelve years. Her duties extend beyond those ordinarily associated with her work. The dominant type of her service is that of “relief”, on which she works with the trustee of the township. In addition to keeping the school records free from excessive absences, Mrs. Hoskins takes care of children in need of books, clothing, and parental care. She has been an active member of the Whiting Relief and Aid Hoard for ten years. Our school has a well qualified and efficient office staff. Miss Lucille Graf, a graduate of ‘24, serves as secretary to Mr. Borden. Mrs Campbell has been secretary to the school board for nine years. Miss Helen Keckich, of the class of ‘29 acts as secretary' to Mr. Grubb.

This class, composed of approximately two hundred students, entered high school life in September, 1929, and proceeded through the year with the following leaders at its head: president—Catherine Ribovich, vice-president—Paul Haluska, secretary— Justine Dado, treasurer—Mike Martich. The only outstanding social activity of this first year was the Freshman Reception, with which they were honored by the Seniors. With a number of new students from the Franklin School added to the ranks, the second year was begun under the capable officers elected by the class: Bruce Avery— president, Virginia Gilbcrg—vice-president, Carl Buchlcr—secretary, Ruth Zweig— treasurer. In March the class sponsored the annual Sophomore Party in the form of a St. Patrick's dance. This affair earned the class the reputation for giving successful parties, which it has retained. During that year, Caroline Zimmerly creditably represented the class in the State Latin Contest in which she received second place. In the third year the members of the class took a prominent part in outside activities as well as in school affairs. Kenneth Malick won first place in the saxophone divis'on of the National Instrumental Solo Contest, Gene Melvin took first award in the State Piano Contest, and Martha Broderson was awarded first prize in the National Red Cross Essay Contest. With Lucille Bailey as president, Mike Fowdy as vice-president, Lois Brown as secretary, and Paul Martich as treasurer, the class was ably guided. The Junior Play and the Prom were the big events of the year. The play, “Those Lovely Ladies”, with Evelyn Shinn and Wilbur Boland carrying the leading roles, afforded a hilarious evening’s entertainment to the enthusiastic audience who witnessed the performance. The Prom was the one gala social function on the school calendar, when about two hundred couples danced in the rainbow decorated gymnasium to the rhythm of Milton Zeitlin’s orchestra. When the Senior year was reached Kenneth Malick was elected to the position of class president. Those chosen as his aides were: vice-president—Gene Melvin, secretary— Mike Martich, and treasurer Emajean Purinton. A dramatic success was recorded with the Senior Play, “The Whole Town’s Talking”. A more enjoyable play could not have been selected, and it was very well presented by an excellent cast headed by Mary Ccngel and Russell Carnagcy. The class had the largest number of students in the history of the school to receive their fourth scholarship W’s. Roy Green and Albert Elders brought honor to the school by their accomplishments in swimming, as did Paul Walsko in football. Bruce Avery, Eugene Gambril, and Mike Fowdy proved to be outstanding performers on the basketball floor. The class was also well represented in the field of girl's sports, those most active being: Lucille Boland, Harriet Doll, Hazel Helton, Elizabeth Jaroscak, Gene Melvin, Edith Matis, Wilma Pemberton, and Ruth Zweig. The class is proud of its achievements in all lines of endeavor—social, scholastic, an athletic. sixteen the reflector class of MARGARET AIRD— Thornton Fractional High School 1; Latin Club 2; Masque Club 4; Theatre Hoard 4; Girls’ Glee Ciub 2, 4.

Eleanor Vatcr On April 28 an appreciative audience enjoyed one of the most entertaining three-act comedies ever presented at Whiting High School, when the Junior class produced “Applesauce” as its annual play. The cast reflected its splendid training when it e;cicntly presented the play in the absence of its director, K. W. Turner, who spoke before the State Drama Conference at Bloomington, Indiana, on April 28. Dorothy Freedman and Gilbert Galles as Ma and Pa Robinson kept the audience in a hilarious mood with their constant squabbling. Acting as peacemaker was Julia Mercer who realistically portrayed the sweet-tempered daughter. Rivals for the leading lady’s hand in marriage were the light hearted Bill McAllister, played by Joe Molson the chief “applesaucer” and Rollo Jenkins, a successful business man interpreted by Edward Greenwald. Eleanor Vater’s portrayal of the pessimistic Mrs. Baldwin will long to be remembered by all who saw the play, as one of the leading laugh-working characters. forty the reflector senior g� l«iv Henry Simmons.............................

This rollicking three act comedy is from the pens of John Emerson and Anita Loos, and is an adaption of the original acting version of Nathaniel Edward Reid. The scene of the play is in Sandusky, Ohio and the plot concerns the activities of the Simmons family. The play has an unusually large speaking cast which consisted of fifteen competent members. The entire Senior Drama class took part in this production, as all members, in addition to the above cast, acted as friends of the Simmons family. This group was made up of the following people: Lucille Bailey, Paul Brindley, Neil Brinkcr, Roy Green, Rita Keim, William Lidgard, Robert Molson, Marion Pritchard, Ema-jean Purinton, Bernard Roberts, and Glen Springer. forty-one the reflector Rom I: M.

The club already has to its credit a long list of successful enterprises. The social activities for the year were; an initiation party, a Christmas party, and an elaborate Spring Frolic. The organization did not give a major performance, but adopted the plan of doing a good deal of specialized work within the group. Instead of presenting many plays to the public, the members produced more before the club. A number of short plays and skits were presented at the regular meetings, providing valuable experience for both actors and audience. The club also lent its aid to all the endeavors of the Theatre Board group, in addition to sponsoring, with the board, the novel Costume Review. Meetings are held twice monthly. All the students in the speech department are granted membership, providing they attend the first meeting of each semester. Other students desiring membership must make a ten minute appearance on a program, which is accepted by the club. The election of officers which was previously held only once during the year, is now a part of each semester’s program in order to give those who entered the club in their last year an opportunity to hold office. Membership is constantly changing, and with new officers twice yearly, the best results are obtained, and the club remains an active one. forty-1 wo the reflector Row I—Mr. Turner, L. Brown, II.

Lucy Plumchuck The Whiting Repertoire Players, a little theatre organization, was started in the spring of 1932, at which time Mr. Turner selected fourteen active members. This group functions throughout the year, in summer as well as winter. Several members, who have been away to college, have helped build up the organization, while the active members have prepared a repertoire of several plays which have been presented before various civic groups of the city. Plays that have been presented during the past season arc: “Mistletoe and Moonlight,” “Cabbages”, “A Table Set for Himself”, “A Pair of Lunatics,” “The Duchess Bounces In.” One of the major endeavors for the year was the presentation of the elaborately staged “Green Dragon Emerald”, at the Community Center Auditorium. This production showed the artistic calibre of the director and group, not only in acting but also in preparing beautiful stage settings, costumes, and furnishings. The greatest honor given the Whiting Repertoire Players group was the invitation to appear at the Childrens’ Theatre on the Enchanted Isle at the World’s Fair, June 17. The selection of the Players for this performance was the “Knave of Hearts.” With this experience, the program for this organization next year will undoubtedly include several performances of major interest to children, in addition to adult drama. The Board of Directors for the past year has included Mr. Turner as executive director, Henry Price, business manager, Wilbur Boland, production manager, Lucy Plumchuck, publicity manager, Hazel Slemin, costume mistress.

The school has a right to be proud of the Board, as it is one ot a very few successful organizations of its kind in the country. Mr. Turner, Drama instructor, with a group of energetic students, introduced this efficient body into the high school curriculum last year, after making all the plans for it. He, together with the students under him, has seen the idea grow from a rather crude form, in the beginning, to a well working piece of machinery. The Board is made up of a faculty director, a student director, and four large sections with these two at their head. Russell Carnagey acted in the capacity of student director for this year, and the sections and their chairmen are as follows: Production— Robert Molson and Mathew Moser; Direction—Russell Carnagey; Business—Elizabeth Manchak; and Secretarial—Rachael Baumwohl. Under these large divisions are other sub-departments which specialize in certain phases, and each having a chairman and assistant, besides a group of able committeemen. New committees were formed as the need arose for them. The Board has kept the membership under fifty since it was seen that more efficient work could be accomplished with smaller numbers of only the most vitally interested students. The Theatre Board has staged every production that has been presented this year. Activities by the Board alone have included a Costume Review, “Nine Who Were Mother,’’ which was presented for the Theatre Board by the Alumni Players, “Upstage,” and the Drama Festival play “The Rivals.” forty-four Row I: II.

From the eighteen members at the outset, the membership has expanded to twenty-four. Those students are chosen whose voices are most qualified in blending with others, as Madrigal music requires the ability of a voice to adapt itself to the intricacies of the composition. The Madrigal Club is the outgrowth of a successful quintet which won praise at the Lake County Music Festival two years ago. By Madrigal singing is meant the performance of all secular choral music composed during the polyphonic period which is mainly the years between 1588 and 1638. The Madrigal in itself is a love song of the fourteenth, fifteenth, or sixteenth centuries. It is essentially polyphonic in form, with layers of melody, and requires patient and painstaking work in order to master it. Each of its parts is a melody, yet all blend in perfect harmony. The first few months of rehearsals of the Madrigal Club were spent chiefly on one madrigal, “Come Away Death,” in five parts by R. Vaughn-Williams. Since then the repertoire has expanded greatly and included in it are the following compositions: “Summer Is A-Comin In”—J. Fornsetc; “Sweet Honeysucking Bess”—Wilbye; “All Creatures Now Are Merry-Minded”—Bennct; “Exultate Deo”—G. Palestrina; “Down the Hill Corina Trips”—Bateson; and “Sweet Phillida”—Pilkington. “All Creatures Now Are Merry-Minded” was the song they presented at the Lake County Music Festival this year. The services of the Madrigal Club have been greatly in demand and they have appeared with highly gratifying performances before such civic and other organizations as the following; High School, Woman’s Club, District Convention of Business and Professional Women, Whiting Parent-Teacher Association, and the Lion’s Club. In addition to these appearances a splendid program was broadcast over radio station WGN. forty-five band Whiting High School is very fortunate in having, at the head of its instrumental music department, so capable a director as Mr. Lesinsky. Mr. Ix� smskv received his M us. Bac. and A. B. degrees at Valparaiso University and taught in the music department of that institution for five years. After serving as head of the band and orchestra department in Hammond for six years, Mr. Lesinsky came to Whiting. The Whiting High School Band was organized by Mr. J. W. McAllister in 1923. Undci Mr. Lesinskyvs direction the band developed rapidly, and won second place in the Indiana State contest during his first year in Whiting.

As a result, this organization has achieved a perfection in singing seldom reached in high school work, for these people, who have had the benefit of these years of Mr. Calder’s splendid training, form a sonorous background for the newer members. At the beginning of the school year Mr. Calder introduced a series of vocal exercises and gymnastics which composed the major part of the curriculum for the first few weeks. These exercises served to improve the flexibility of the voice, enunciation, articulation and tone quality. The Girls’ Glee Club has established quite a reputation for fine singing at the Lake County Choral Festivals, and has received only the highest praise from the ajudicators. They sing mostly three part music and only the best in choral literature is presented. Such numbers as “The Cloud,” by Fletcher, “Night In the Desert,” Jenkins, “On the Steppe,” Grctchoninoff and “Ossians Fingal,” Brahms, etc., have been studied the past year with minute precision. The beautiful tonal qualities and delicate blendings and nuances shown in the interceptive work of this organization are a delight not only to their audiences but to themselves and Mr. Calder. forly-ciffht the reflector Row I—J.

Much time is devoted to tone production, ear training and sight reading, and it is these fundamentals that are responsible for the fine quality of singing found in Whitings’ choral groups. The Hoys’ Glee Club sings mostly four part songs and its repertoire includes such selections as “John Peel,’’ “Home On the Range,” “Passing Hy,” etc. Great enthusiasm seems to he shown by these young men in choir singing activities, as is evidenced by the competition for places in more specialized groups such as the Madrigal Club and the special double choir. The Hoys’ Glee Club as one of its most important activities, forms a substantial and inspiring background for the mixed chorus which is a combination of the Hoys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs. The Mixed Chorus meets once a week and the same quality of work is done here as in the glee clubs . Forty-four boys and girls from the mixed chorus were chosen to participate in the “In-And-About-Chicago Chorus,” an organization of 475 high school students which presented a program of choral music at Orchestra Mall on March 24. After this merit-able performance they were invited to sing on an N. H. C. program April 2, and at the Worlds Fair June 10. This group of which the Madrigal Club was the nucleus made up the Mixed Chorus that presented at the Lake County Choral Festival the Hach Motet “The Spirit Also Helpeth Us”. forty-nine the reflector Row I: V.

Ruth Zweig The year’s first issue of the Tattler, the six-page school publication, came out on November 17, through the cooperative efforts of Miss Falk, journalism instructor, and Mr. Vesely, printing instructor. At the beginning of the school year, the majority of the students in the journalism and printing departments were extremely inexperienced in the publishing of a school paper. Improvements in the subsequent issues of The Tattler testified to the real development of both writers and printers. Approximately a hundred students of Whiting High School have a definite responsibility in the completion of each issue of the paper. So fine is the cooperation between these two departments that it is possible to find, at almost any time, members of the journalism class in the printshop and vice versa, diligently putting forth effort to produce a perfect issue of the paper. The Tattler is made up of editorial and feature articles, accounts of the school’s athletic events, social affairs and departmental activities. An added feature is the junior high school page which is made up of work done by junior high students and edited by Margaret Ference. The staff, appointed by Miss Falk, remained unchanged throughout the year. There was no business staff selected since the paper was distributed, bi-monthly without cost, to all students in both senior and junior schools. filly the reflector Standing: 1. Durick, J. Matis, H.

George Choltye In spite of the depression, the class of 1933 was determined that its name should not go down in the history of the school as the class which did not publish a Reflector. Although faced by financial barriers greater than those confronted in any previous attempts in the publishing of an annual in Whiting High School, the staff, with splendid cooperation on the part of the faculty and members of the senior class, obtained sufficient funds to undertake this project. Realizing that economic conditions necessitated a curtailment of expenditures, the staff determined to make up in quality what the book lacked in quantity. The editorial and business staffs were both under the supervision of Miss Falk, who, with the aid of other faculty members, chose the staff for the yearbook in the latter part of October. Much credit is due Mr. Vesely, printing instructor, who kindly aided the yearbook project by contributing woodcuts, as well as directing the actual publishing of the book, and Miss Stewart, art supervisor, who directed the art work which plays such an important part in the make-up of the book. William Vasilko greatly helped the enterprise undertaken by the senior class by making many woodcuts, and Barbara Horvat and Gay Rhoda Aronberg are to be accredited with having done the majority of the tedious typing of the various articles for the publication. fifty-one - the reflector Row I—W.

Since our school was granted a charter by the organization once each year new students have been chosen to membership. This year fifteen students were admitted, who, with the three juniors chosen last year, make up the largest membership during any one year in the history of our chapter. There are over twelve thousand young journalists from all over the world, who wear the pin of the society. According to the constitution, candidates for membership in Quill and Scroll must meet the following requirements at the time of the selection: They must be of at least junior standing, they must be in the upper third of their class scholastically, they must have done superior work in some phase of journalistic work, in order to determine the types of publication best suited to high schools and to standardize instruction in this field. fifty-two the reflector Row 1—M.

Members arc chosen on the basis of scholarship, service, leadership and character; they must be in the upper quarter of their class in scholastic rank. Not more than fifteen per cent of any graduating class is chosen. Preliminary selections are made by a committee of five teachers and the principal and are then submitted to the entire faculty who vote for those students who best meet the qualifications. Twenty three of this year’s graduating class have been chosen as deserving of the honor of belonging to this society, symbolic of commendable character, leadership and service.

People are trying to study and there are classes in session. Please keep quiet.” I his is the usual speech that greets the students coming from the other buildings to report to their next class. If that speech doesn’t bring the results desired, more strenuous methods are used to get the students quiet. I he Monitor system was introduced to the high school late in the spring of 1931. Since then it has been steadily improved upon. The members of this organization are honor roll students who have the ability to succeed in keeping perfect order in the halls. To become a monitor, an application must be submitted either to the office or to Mr. Applegarth. '1 hese applications are carefully considered and only the most reliable students are chosen to fill these posts. In this way, it is made sure that the student will carry out his duties to the fullest extent. 1 here arc three regular monitors for each period during the day, and there is a substitute for each one of these. When the regular monitor is absent from his post, which is at one of three entrances of the building, the substitute takes his place. The monitor at the middle entrance is the captain, and he checks on the attendance of each of the others. 1 he duties of the monitor arc to keep classes out of the building until the bell rings, to check up on the passes in and out of the building, to direct strangers about the school, and to keep order and quiet in the halls. fifty- four the reflector Row I: A.

Don’t you know the new grass when you see it?”, you know that the Patrol Hoy is on duty, and that it is best to do as he tells you. The Patrol Club is an honorary one, composed of nineteen boys out of Junior and Senior classes, who are dependable, loyal, and ever ready for work. The officers for the first semester were Lawrence Hansen, captain, and Gilbert Galles and Morris Johnson, lieutenants. The officers for the second semester were Andrew Miterko, captain, James Brahos and John Matis, lieutenants. Out of the ninteen members in this club, fifteen are Seniors. They are as follows: Lawrence Hansen, Morris Johnson, Andrew Miterko, James Brahos, John Matis, James Judson, Lyle Swartzentruber, Nathan Kaplan, Neil Brinker, Bernard Roberts, Russell Carnagey, George Choltye, Henry K’ckenapp, Robert Mo1 son, and Patrick Krull. Letters are awarded to those members who have been in the club for one year, and who arc active members. To obtain money to purchase these letters, two dances were sponsored, and the receipts were used. Mr. Applegarth, the sponsor, organized the club in the school year, 1929-30, after a start in 1928-29. Since then the boys have been perfecting their codes, and set a splendid example to the rest of the school. The Patrol Boy’s duties and responsibilities are very specific. They are the protection of his own life while on duty, the protection of the lives of his fellow students, and the proper development of his own personal habits so that he may set an example lor all others in the school. fifty-five the reflector Row I: R.

All second and third year Latin students are members of this club. Each class has an individual club of its own and elects two consuls who alternate at presiding, as well as a quaestor, in whose charge are the minutes of the meetings and other secretarial duties. A meeting is held every three weeks during the regular class period. A different committee, appointd each time by the presiding consul, selects the program and those who are to appear on it. The roll call is made an unusual one by being answered, not with the usual “here”, but in some manner pertaining to the theme of the meeting. “America,” translated into its Latin form is sung at the beginning of each meeting. One assembly period each year is taken over by the Latin Club. The consuls and quaestors of the different classes are as follows. Latin II—Period 3—Consuls; Marcella Dolak, Joseph Zata; Quaestor, Marvin Gambril. Period 4—Consuls; Olga Kaminsky, William O'Neil; Quaestor, David Saunders.

To gain membership into the club, one must be enrolled in a French class and have a keen interest in the language and the business affairs of the club. Many social enterprises have been undertaken by the organization, one of the most successful of which was the initiation party held March 16, in the Social Room. 'File social meetings are held the first Thursday of the month with special business meetings called whenever the officers deem it advisable. I he social meetings are always well attended and are looked forward to because of the unusual and interesting programs offered by the program chairman, Martha Broderson. At the meetings, French is spoken exclusively, with the members imitating the Parisians as much as possible. The French Club pins, of which the members are quite proud, are particularly attractive. The insignia is the Eiffel Tower between two Latin symbols, the fasces. On it is inscribed “Le Cercle Francais.” and “W. H. S.” fifty-seven the reflector Row I: C. Johnson, V. Gilbert, R. Harder, W.

The group, under the sponsorship of Mr. Applegarth, meets on alternate Thursdays at which time interesting programs in this field are presented. The purpose of the club is to help satisfy the interests of pupils in some phase of science such as advanced chemistry, radio, or photography, none of which are taken up in class. Detailed study in such subjects does not exist in the classroom as a rule. In a club of this kind is found a group of students primarily interested in scientific research. There is no limit to the stimulation which may be gained by those who are willing to and capable of going ahead with further study on their own initiative. Among the activities of the Science club this year was a play, “The Alchemist”, which was presented in the assembly for the entire school. Another splendid program, given by this club, was one in memory of the birth of Thomas A. Edison, who has contributed so much to Science. fifty-eitfht the reflector Row I: Miss Whitton, F-.

The students principally work out of doors and take trips, accompanied by Miss Whitton, the advisor, for the purpose of gathering information about new and unusual forms of life not found in the immediate surroundings. An excellent lecture was attended at the Field Museum at which time the club members learned of “Plants In Growth and Animals in Development.” In order to qualify for membership to the Biology Club, students of the Biology classes must have a grade of C or above, be approved by the sponsor and elected members. The candidates must also show an interest in the club’s activities and prove by working out some special project that they will show special qualification for giving the club the benefit of their membership. They are formally initiated and take the oath of membership. Meetings are held on alternative Thursdays at which time interesting talks on subjects pertaining to biology are presented by the students. fifty-nine the reflector Row I: M. Martich, J. Zato, N.

The club is composed of all honor roll students who automatically become eligible upon receiving grades averaging B (90) with no grade below a C (85) for one year. A spirit of interest and competition is established among the students for higher scholastic standing. Membership is not renewed if the student does not meet the requirements the following year. Emblems in recognition of individual effort are awarded to the club members. A small W, which is green felt with a white background is awarded the first year; the second year W is white felt with a green background; the third year W is green on a white background with green binding; and the fourth year W is white with a green background and white binding. The following Seniors have received three scholarship W’s and will probably receive their fourth ones this year: Ruth Bransky, Virginia Gilberg, Helen May Huggins, Mike Martich, Margaret Price, Hazel Zimmerman, Carolyn Zimmerly, and Ruth Zweig. sixty the reflector Row I: M.

Although not winners of the conference championship, the Oilers were in the fight for the title throughout the season, and were feared by many a mighty foe in the Calumet Region. Under the tutelage of Coach Gallivan, the team defeated Emerson and Froebel for the first time in history as well as triumphing over Pullman Tech and Catholic Central in non-conference tilts. After dropping conference games to Hammond and Washington early in the season, the Oilers hit their winning stride and were hard to stop. Captain Paul Walsko had the honor of being the only member of the team to receive a fourth football letter. On the all-conference team Walsko was selected as a guard and he received honorable mention in the all-state selections. Hrucc Avery was given honorable mention on the all-conference team as an end. Those who received football letters were: Avery, Ilundra, Evanich, Etnkin, M. Fowdy, S. Fowdy, Hicko, Greenwald, Kovachic, Martich, Miklusak, Mullaney, Oliver, Slacanin, A! Wajvoda, Andrew Wajvoda, and Captain Walsko. Mike Evanich was elected to lead the next team.

The remarkable record made by the team during the 1932-1933 season and the courageous fight they put up in the Sectional Tournament will never be forgotten. Coach Ofsborn’s proteges opened the season by capturing four of their first six encounters. After these games they suffered a slump, falling to seventh place in the conference. They regained their former stride, however, and finished in third place. The Oilers entered the Sectional Tournament at Gary as one of the favorites, a fact which was brought about at least partially, by their four consecutive victories over the four Gary Schools. They swept through their first three tourney games to reach the finals for the first time in seven years. In the championship battle the valiant Whiting team dropped a one point thriller in the last few seconds to Hammond. Crown Point, Lew Wallace, and Froebel all fell before the strong Green and White lads in the tournament. The entire student body is proud of the 1932-1933 team and was highly elated over its splendid success throughout the season. The following boys were awarded letters: Captain Avery, Oliver, Benko, Kanocz, Gambril, Wajvoda, Fowdy, Green, Farbak, Greenwald, Hanchar and Manager Johnson.

From the prospect at the opening of season, the school may expect as fine an outcome in this branch of athletics as was existant last year. Last year the Whiting tennis team tied Emerson for first place in the conference, but lost the title in the playoff. Francis Fudenski, William Feeney, Leon Gardner, Gilbert Behrens, and Oscar Gardner made up the net team last year, which was one of the best teams in the region. All five of these boys were lost to this year’s team through graduation. Tennis, this season, will not be represented in the conference, but this will not prevent the schools from playing numerous matches among themselves. Whiting will schedule matches with the seven conference schools as well as Blue Island and a number of the other nearby schools. Seventeen seniors as well as a large group of juniors were out for this activity this year, and Mr. Orsborn has a great deal of material from which he can pick the team. 1 he boys who participated in tennis last year and who are hoping to make this year’s team are Nathan Kaplan, James Judson, Bruce Avery, Edward Greenwald, and Ralston Welsby. Coach Orsborn has scheduled a number of tournaments to be played by the members of the senior and junior classes this season, and this will be one way in which he ill be able to make his decisions in the selection of the team. sixty -four the reflector Seated—V.

Always a leader in the water sport, the Oilers this season won the topmost honor of the state—the Indiana State Swimming Championship. Four new I. H. S. A. A. records were established in the state meet by the new champions. Whiting now has all seven state records, Joe Brock having set three marks in 1929. The state records now stand as follows: 1933 Meet—160 yard Relay—Oliver, Schwartzentruber, Nagy and Love. Time: 1:22.7. 120 yard Medley Relay—Elders, Green and Oliver. Time 1 :12.4. 100 yard Backstroke—Elders. Time 1 :08.9. 100 yard Breaststroke—Green. Time 1:14.8. 1929 Meet—40 yard free style—Brock. Time: 19.3 100 yard free style—Brock.

Love, second; 100 yard free style—Goerg, first, Horvat, third; and Diving—Wilson, second. Coached by Mr. Parmenter, the Oiler tankmen were defeated but once in a preseason meet this year; they won the Thornton Fractional Invitational Meet with 37 points, placed second in the conference meet with 35 points, and captured the state swimming title by scoring 44 points. mm Whiting 29 Thornton Fractional .._ 46 p Whiting 46 Washington .... 29 'A Whiting 42 Whiting 40 Loyola Academy Washington .... 24 ... 35 A Whiting 44 Thornton Fractional 31 sixty-five the reflector Seated: M.

Fred Emkin Each year, early in the first semester, the election of the Athletic Board, one of the most important organizations of Whiting High School, takes place. A list of names is presented to the students, and they cast their votes, keeping in mind the fact that a member of his board must be conscientious and willing to work hard. In addition to the officers, the students elect two executives to this board. It is the only organization of which the members are voted upon by the entire student body, and one of the groups that is representative of the entire school. In addition to the student members, the board consists of Mr. Grubb, and one faculty member appointed by him, and the physical directors. The board recommends the athletic program, promotes the sale of tickets, provides accommodations for spectators at games, assists in keeping school spirit and enthusiasm behind the various teams, and handles all matters pertaining to school athletics. Student members are given the authority to offer suggestions and opinions on the various questions that may arise. Meetings are held only when the occasion is necessary. It is through the efforts of this organization that the sports in the high school have been made possible. Through action of the athletic board, “W’s” have been awarded to deserving members of the various boys’ athletic teams, and, although a small item of its many duties, the board has also undertaken the appointment of the school veil leader for the year. sixty-six the reflector Row I: D.

Through this club the girls have a chance to participate in all the major sports of the school year. For each sport there is held a tournament to decide the championship team. After a hard struggle, both the Juniors and Seniors deserve the title ‘Champ’ in hockey. The finals in the Basketball tournament between the Juniors and Sophomores ended with the Juniors as the winning class. For the past several years the Girls Varsity Swimming Team has been an outstanding feature in girls’ sports. Having won two state meets and broken several state records, the present team has a good chance to defeat every team on the schedule. sixty-seven the reflector Row I: A. Novacky, C.

Whiting will be gazed upon with awe and reverence, as the Alma Mater of Edson Rhea, who flew to the moon, (with Caroline, of course.) 8. The word “pride” dislikes very much to be used again, but no other noun would be suitable. (It is feared that the impression that Whiting is vain may be gotten). This time it is in regard to that swimming team of ours. The state championship not only hung its bathing suit in Whiting’s locker, but so did four brand new records which makes this school the possessor of every Indiana state swimming record. II. Grades out—need more be said ? 15. Again that particular word reoccurs; methinks Whiting does have vanitv, but now, really, whv on earth shouldn’t we have?

A charming, delightful, and refreshing little party was given by those cantivating members of the French Club. MAY — 1913 to 1923 First armoured war-tanks. To whom it may concern: As the natural course of life goes on, when life’s little tragedies reoccur, and when one’s joys and sorrows make their reappearance, it is somewhat to be expected that the urgent desire to toil, in some mysterious fashion, at this crucial time of the year bids us goodbye. It is now that one little, wee voice, inside of you says to work because grades are not far away, and then another wee little voice inside mentions the fact that this is spring, when the April showers have accomplished their duty and brought May Flowers henceforth, when tennis rackets and golf clubs blo som out, when our Editor-in-chief discards his garters, and when the little birdies go “cheep, cheep” and when the “keep off the grass” signs come into view. Ah, my dear, it’s Spring once more. Beautiful, Glorious, Grand Spring. But in spite of all of this poesy why on earth there aren’t a little more activities of some kind or other in this romantic month is beyond this calendar. The Prom alone saves the day. Mere words cannot express, cannot describe, cannot relate what should be justlv expressed desscribed, and related about this Prom. JUNE — 1923 to 1933 First Austin Built 2.

By the wav, you know, of course, ho the orchestra came out in the National Orchestra Contest? 8—9—10 This time it’s the Band. 12. The first of our last farewell appearances is here, Class Day. We try to be happy, to be gay, but how can we be that way when we know that dear old Whiting High will see her last of us so soon. Tears come to our eyes when we think of it. A lump appears in many throats. Whiting. dear old Whitng. how will vou bear it. how will yo stand it, how-will you endure it—without us, the class of 1933. 16.
