2 -': i iiMitAsaLk :•; p: THE REFLECTOR WHITING HIGH SCHOOL Whiting, Indiana GAIN this year we shall have a World’s Fair at our front door, Chicago; and, again we shall see crowds hurrying here, there ’n everywhere. They arc coining from all parts of the globe in an ever maddening rush of speed. Speed makes for progress, progress for change; and it must be admit- ted that there have been changes in nearly everything since the fair of 1893 which was held in this district a little over forty years ago, although forty years is a comparatively short time in world history. Everything around us is different from what it was four decades ago; everything has changed so completely, yet with such a great amount of case, that it is almost startling in some cases when comparisons are actually made. Education and school life have been revolutionized; no longer docs the student come to school to learn just “read- in’ ’n ritin’ and ’rithmitic.”. Now he takes subjects in high school that are a part of this so-called world progress. Subjects are no longer forced into his head with the aid of a rubber hose but rather he is taught in an intelligent manner. School life of the student of today has taken on a much greater social aspect than the student of the late nineteenth century. This of course is vitally import- ant. yet it is merely in keeping with the progress' the world is making. These cuts that will bring scenes of the “gay nineties” to you have been ably done by the art editor. In exact contrast are photographs taken by the first staff photo- grapher the Reflector has ever had. We have tried to get away from formalism, which is about the last reminder of the past century, in writing this year book. Four Our aim this year is not to give a comparison of the two world fair periods nor is it to show all the changes that have taken place in the past two scores of years. It is rather our purpose to entertain with our illustrations. We hope that you will like our efforts in trying to give you something new.

C. Grubb to the faculty of the high school as a science teacher. From the very first, his friendly manner and amicable attitude won many friends for him among the students and teachers. His chief interest was naturally the science department, but he was so completely immersed in the functioning of the whole school that in 1917 his enthusiasm was re- warded. He was made principal of the Senior High School. His long tenure in this capacity is proof of his ability to handle the problems and responsibilities of a high school principal. In 1917, when he undertook his task, there were 175 students and a four year course. Now, despite the adop- tion of the three year plan, the enrollment is 735. Through Mr. Grubb an attitude has been built up in school that studies are first consideration, but that there is also a place for athletics and other extra-curricular activities. He has always been an ardent supporter of extra-curricular activities and the social affairs of the school. Under his direction and guidance, several fine and unusual departments have grown up in Whiting High School and other departments have been enlarged and improved. Sjx He has shown an interest in the student body as a whole, in students in groups, and in students as individuals. He has the admirable faculty of making decisions with both the point of view of the administration and the point of view of the students in mind. Although Whiting High is his chief interest, he has been quite active in civic af- fairs and a leader in progressive civic enterprises. Proof that he is an energetic edu- cator is found in the fact that he maintains membership in the outstanding state and national educational organizations as well as by his continuous enrollment in advanced educational classes at both Chicago University and In- diana University. Through these two channels he keeps constantly in touch with what is new and progressive in education. Because of what he has done for us we, the Senior Class, dedicate to Mr. Grubb, the REFLECTOR OF 1934 R. W. YV. Borden, who had served for twelve years as the Superintendent of South Bend Schools, was selected by the Board of Education to become our Superintendent in the fall of 1931. Mr. Borden is a graduate of YVooster College and received his Bachelor of Arts degree from that school. He has been awarded the Bachelor of Science degree by the University of Ohio and the Master of Arts degree by Columbia University . W. VV. Borden The Board of Education, which is working efficiently in unison with Mr. Borden and Mr. Grubb toward making Whiting High School rank among the foremost schools in Indiana, consists of the following members: Mr. Gambril, president; Mr. Salapski, treasurer; and Dr. Bransky, secretary. The members of the board have had much experience and are fully capable of thoroughly car- rying out the duties of their offices. The Board with the cooperation of the Superintendent and the Principal have managed to gain a national repute and an enviable record for Whiting High School. Interesting themselves in extra-curricular activities and vigorously sup- porting them, they have made possible the high school’s high standing, and victor- ies in athletics, music, drama, and other fields of endeavor. During the past three years corrective gym classes and corrective speech classes have been added to the schools curriculum. Many improvements, physical as well as educationary have been added under their administration. Whiting High School can well be proud of the administration which has served them so well and the administration can take great pride in the high school which they have so faithfully and efficiently administered to for the past three years. Dr. Bransky, Mr. Gambril, Mr. Salapski Eight Row I—E. Vater, C. Frankcn, L. Epley, T. Buckley, B. Bradac, W. Boland, C. Feeney, E. Por- acky, J. Farbak, G. Collins. Row II—L. Mackey, R. Sabo, J. Geffert, T. Buckley, M. Moser, J. Uric, L. Skorupa, F. Progar. C. Vater. I.. C. Grubb T HE Whiting High school Student Council helps the administration in ruling the student body. A general representative is elected from each class who with the president of the class represents the class as a whole. Besides these members each home room is represented by some one whom they have elected. Whenever any important question is raised the Student Council assembles and helps make a decision. Thus the students are able to directly influence the rules of the school. 9WWV Nine At top: Miss Graf, Miss Borden and Miss Kekich Middle: Miss Kerb} and Mrs. Hoskins Bottom: Miss Perlowski and Mrs. Green Ten HE Health Department welcomes Miss Le- ona Kerby who is now in charge. Miss Kcrby received her nurse’s training at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Indianapolis, and then studied at the Public Health Nursing As- sociation, also in Indianapolis, where she was on the staff for two years. Following this she became supervisor of the Marion County Sanatorium. Then after taking a course in Psychiatry in the Cook County Hospital she returned to Marion, Indiana, as the Public Health nurse. From there she came to Whiting to be in charge o. the City School Health Department. M iss Kerby has proved very efficient and cooperative, not only in the routine work of treating children with colds and other ailments, but also in cooperation with the city doctors in the immunization program and tental survey. This department has always looked after the health of the student body in general it) order to prevent di- sease and its spreading. Through funds furnished by the various city organizations, glasses are provided for chil- dren unable to afford them, and emergency operations are taken care of. Much valuable assistance has been rendered by this department for which the school is grateful. For thirteen years the attendance records have been faithfully and efficiently kept by Mrs. Hoskins. Besides keeping tab on errant students, which task is no easy mat- ter. she tends to the supply of books given to children who cannot afford them. She has also been a member of the Whiting Relief and Aid Board for ten years through which she is able to reach children in need of food and clothing. Mrs. Hoskins has given us more service than we can ever hope to thank for. Offices must have staff members efficient and indus- trious. Whiting has more than its share of capable work- ers. In Mr. Borden’s office. Miss Lucille Graf of the class of ‘24 serves as secretary to the superintendent. An industrious member of the staff was lost when Mrs. Campbell, who had been secretary to the school board for nine years, passed away this year. Her position, how- ever, is being filled competently by Miss Lillian Klose. Miss lone Borden served in this capacity during the first semester. Miss Helen Kekich has served as the secretary to Mr. Grubb since 1929. Miss Kekich graduated from Whiting High School in the spring of 1929. Another important department that was introduced re- cently to the school system is the Remedial Speech De- partment conducted by Miss Frances Perlowski and Mrs. Roy Green. Miss Perlowski has a class for pupils defec- tive in speech and Mrs. Green instructs lip-reading to those pupils who need it. Junior High School Eleven NEW era began in the Whiting city schools in 1923, when in February the new Junior High School building was made ready for classes. By September following, the building was completed and sheltered both intermediate and junior high grades; that is. from fourth to eighth inclusive. This arrangement contined until 1927, at which time the beautiful new primary building opened and took care of the lower grades, thus making room in the Mac Gregor building for the intermediate classes. A new system adopted in 1931 reorganized the whole system then in use. The Junior High School now consists of only three grades, the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. This type of class arrangement is now commonly used throughout the country. The Junior High School now has been divided into home groups which meet at the first period in the morning. This period is what is generally called a consultation period. Meetings of clubs and classes are held during F.. L. Riordan this time instead of after school. This is satisfactory since it gives the faculty a larger margin in which to give special work to students during the ninth hour. In addition the extra-curricular activities are encouraged without in- terference with major subjects. Some of the well known Junior High Clubs at present arc: The Pep Club, Science Club. Nature Club, Journalism Club. Health Club, History Club and a new Drama Club. These fields are wide-spread enough to in- terest every student and help him in his favorite subject. Since 1924, the Junior High School has progressed with Mr. E. L. Rior- dan at the helm. He was transferred to the office of principal while teach- ing science. Nineteen hundred and thirty-four marks the end of a successful decade for the Whiting Junior High School.

Chezem department of athletics began to notice the up and com- ing sportsmen and sportswomen. Several sophomores re- presented Whiting on the football and basketball teams. In swimming Eleanor Vater won honors in the state div- ing contest. Again time passes to the years 1932 and '33, with jun- iors here and juniors there. In any club, class or contest one might detect the juniors by their intelligent demeanor. The class now guided by Catherine Feeney, with Vincent Harmon as vice-president; Elanor Vater as secretary; and Robert Adley as treasurer, again set itself to a year of successful activity. In one of the first encounters of the year the junior girls showed their ability in taking the hockey tournament from the seniors. They repeated the feat of winning tournaments from time to time throughout the year. All this while, the boys of this marvelous junior class kept working along to keep up the football, basketball and swimming teams. Music came into its own and the band and orchestra that won state honors and national also included many from the class of 34. Several of the soloists placing were N September, nineteen hundred and thirty, the class of nineteen hun- dred and thirty-four began its four years of glorified existence. This precocious group of freshmen selected at its leader. Jack Kidnay, whose assistants were: Vice-President, Louis Barton; Secretary, Nora Sulli- van ; and Treasurer, George Trucksa,. They were ably represented in the student council by Catherine Feeney. October marked the beginning of the social year, for it was then that the freshmen horde was honored at a reception by the seniors. Arrayed in its finest, this mob of young sophisticates was pleasing to the sight and many an upper classman eyed them with envy. In the spring of 1931, Catherine Feeney brought distinction to her class by winning the state Latin Contest in Bloomington. As time passes freshmen become sophomores and in 1931 and '32 Fritz Emkcn was elected president; Elanor Vater, vice-president, Margaret Barsich, treasurer; and Helen Louise Arner, secretary. The ranks were swelled by a number of sophomores entering from the Franklin Junior High School. The cream of the crop of classes was advancing into the heights of fame and popu- larity. The sophomores topped the fall season with a Christmas dance that was en- vied by all the other classes. It was for sophomores and their guests exclusively. The juniors. In addition the class was represented in the Madrigal Club that came to distinction in the short time of its existence. In February of 1933, the juniors entertained at a very exclusive party, their first social function of the year. Two events left were the junior play and the prom, both extremely important. “Applesause” was presented on April 29 with I). Freedman, G. Galles, J. Mercer, M. Moser. J. Molson, E. Grcenwald and E. Vater, and was “Applesauce” a hit! Following this what could merit more expectation than the prom? A beautifully decorated gym a wonderful evening in May and dancing with the favor- ite one. The juniors again distinguished themselves by entertaining so well. But now the peak of high school dreams was reached. This group was the senior class of 1934 and what a glro- ious hag of successes was opened to it. Wilbur Boland took the upper hand, to guide the class through difficul- ty. His aides were Nora Sullivan, Steve Slacanin, and Helen Louise Arner. When the Athletic Board was elected, lo and behold. Sixteen it was entirely seniors with C. Mullancy, N. Sullivan, Win. Dellinger, B. Bartels, and E. Vater. The football team, composed mostly of seniors, won the Conference Championship and the basketball team, with five seniors who were regulars, reached the semifinals of the sectional. On November twenty-second, the senior drama class presented a first-rate farce, “The New Poor.” Following on the heels of this success came the senior party on November twenty-eighth, at which, a good time was had by all.” Scholastics had not been neglected, evidently, for from this class twc:icy-four stu- dents were selected for the National Honor Society, this being th. largest number ever selected in one year. The class was also amply represented in the student council, for approximately one half of the members were seniors. Thus four years of success and outstanding activity have been recorded in the book of time for the Class of ‘34. Seventeen ANN ANTHONY—Franklin 1, Latin Club 2, Scholarship W's, Biology Club 3-4. G.

From that first crude beginning, it has grown not only in number hut in class. Under the direction of Mr. Lc- sinky the orchestra took first place in Class B in the In- diana state contest at Evansville, and several members of the hand and orchestra won state and national honors in the solo contests. In 1933. it went even farther to annex a first division rating in Class B in the national contest . at Elmhurst, Illinois. OUR ORCHESTRA Thirty-eight OUR BAND The band has proven itself to be a very valuable school asset during the past few years. In 1932 it placed second in the Class B State Band Contest held at Evansville, Indiana. In the spring of 1933 they travelled to Evanston, Illinois, and placed in the first division for Class B bands in the National Contest. Besides these victories, several members placed in the soloists’ contests. The band is under the capable direction of Mr. Lesinsky. CLARINETS B.

The Boys’ Glee Club, composed of forty one members, has proved to be one of the most musically talented groups in school. Despite the fact that a large majority of its members were new in the music department tlvs year, they learned rapidly and became recognized early in the year as poscssors of fine vocal ability. Their lack of ex- perience has not handicapped them in becoming an ex- cellent singing group. This year’s boys’ chorus, like previous ones, has been divided into two groups. One group rehearses at the first period and the other at the third. They assemble two days a week for practice. During the year study was concentrated on music for the annual Minstrel Show and selections for the In-and-About Chicago Chorus, besides the regular choral numbers. Selection for boys’ parts in the Minstrel Show was made largely from the Boys’ Glee Club. The more tal- ented entered as soloists. Another event in which the boys took part was the In-and-About Chicago Chorus. Of the forty one members of the (ilee Club, twenty one enrolled. In this massed chorus, they sang with students from thirty two high schools in the greater Chicago area. The boys’ numbers were ‘‘Howdy-do Miss Springtime” and “High Barbary . Besides their own rehearsals these boys met o:ie day each week with the Girls’ Glee Club and practiced mixed chorus numbers. Because the Boys’ Glee Club was com- posed largely of boys from the sophomore and junior classes, Mr. Calder, their able director, is looking forward to an even more successful Glee Club next year. Forty 3UR ROYS’ GLEE The Girls’ Glee Club is composed of nearly one hun- dren members. It, like the Boys’ Chorus, meets as a Glee Club twice a week and once with the Mixed Chorus. This year the Girls’ Glee Club had a better start than the Boys’ Glee Club because many of the girls had had previous musical training with Mr. Calder and could easily take up their work where they left off last year. They have continued to improve greatly during this year and now their singing is of a very high standard. This chorus also took part in the In-and-About Chicago Chorus. The girls division sang “The Cloud” by Fletcher. The Whiting Girls’ Glee Club introduced this number in this region several years ago. It was so well liked that it was chosen as the girls’ number for the large massed chorus. OUR GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB A large part of the Annual Minstrel Show was put on by the girls from the vocal music department. A girls’ sextette was organized for the show and was such a big hit that it continued to practice after the performance had been given. They made public appearances during the year at the Women’s Club, the Business and Professional Women’s Club and the Parent Teachers’ Association ban- quet. All the girls in the Glee Club have shown an unusual interest in the work of the group. During the year they have acquired a repertoire of more than twenty numbers all of which have been of a high choral standard. Because the Girls’ Glee Club will not be seriously affected nu- merically by graduation. Mr. Calder is looking forward to another successful chorus next year. Row I—D. James, F.. Bcnko. R.

To the Madrigal Club go the laurels tor real artistry in vocal music. Could more be said ? The club has a rather interesting history. Four years ago at the Lake County Music Festival each school en- tered a specialty number besides its regular chorus groups. Mr. Caldcr sent a mixed quintette as Whiting’s repre- sentation. They sang “Sing We and Chant It. an old Fnglish madrigal, in such a pleasing manner that the ad- judicator made special mention of its fine quality. The quintette and Mr. Calder were so enthusiastic about the results they had obtained with this kind of music that the quintette was doubled and redoubled until today the Madrigal Club is composed of twenty members, four to each of the five parts. This organization meets twice a week after school and represents the best voices in the department. They sing nothing but madrigals and motets, very high types of music. Because the original Madrigal Club was so seriously affected by graduation last year, activities of the club were canceled during the first semester until new voices could be found. It was reorganized at the beginning of the se- cond semester. Through the Madrigal Club the students have not only learned to sing at sight very difficult numbers, but they have also learned to appreciate the better kinds of music. 'Fhe contact which the Madrigalians have made with music at its best has not only been a temporary pleasure but will be of permanent value to them all through their lives. OUR MADRIGAL CLUB Forty-two OUR MASQUE CLUB Four years ago the members of the speech department organized the Masque Club, now one of the most active groups in the High School. Membership, however, was not limited to the people of the department; on the con- trary, it was opened to anyone wishig to make a trial appearance in a program. This appearance was taken as an indication of the applicants desire to join the club. Flection of officers takes place twice a year in order to give those seniors in their last semester a chance to hold office. Meetings arc now held once a month instead of twice, thus making the one meeting more important and interesting. Activity never ceases with Masque Club, for the group not only works for its own benefit but for the interests of the entire speech department. The past year’s activities did not include a major per- formance by the club itself, but in the past several short plays have been presented. They have also given many skits and pantomimes at the weekly assembles and at club meetings. Included in their activities was a spring- time dance, and the initiates reception for new member- ship. The initiation party was held in form of a Hallow- een party. A “spanking” time was had by all. It was a matter of give and take; the initiates took. Mr. Turner holds the position as faculty adviser of the club and much credit is due him for the fine or- ganization in carrying out new projects. The Masque Club and Theatre Hoard will hold their annual joint picnic at the Dunes this year sometime during the first week after school. First Semester Wilbur Boland. Ralston Welsby.

Forty-three OUR SENIOR PLAY There is many a strange story concerning the great noise that shook the high school auditorium the night of November 22, 1933, but there is only one true talc known cnly to a few, a very few people in this town. There- fore the Senior Class is taking this opportunity to right a great wrong and inform the public concerning that fatal eve, otherwise the aforesaid Public might not come back to the auditorum. People tak'ng walks around the vicinity of the scene of disturbance reported that they had been frightened nearly out of their boots by a strange but fearful clamor that rushed out at them as they passed the northeast door of the building, prompting them to take to their heels Considering that there was no tape to stop them, how were they to know when they reached the end ? By the next morning, however, they had told their friends who had told their friends strictly in confidence. After every- one had heard the story its value had depreciated until it was known by the degraded name of, “rumor.” However, the innocent strollers were wrong as to their conception of the awesome, weird noises they heard. They were only the people in the auditorium, enjoying the funny antics of the VVellby family in the annual Senior Play, “The New Poor,” directed by -Mr. Turner with Earl Will as his assistant. Needless to say, it proved a great success. In fact it was good to the last drop (of the curtain). Characters Mrs. Wellby....

At the last minute he pays off the mortgage and is able to defeat Kay. Jane Corwin, a very special friend, and his employees aid him in his exploits. The play included in the third act. a radio broadcast of election returns. Between the returns, numerous nov elty acts were presented by different groups of the stu dents.

OUR JUNIOR PLAY Forty-five OUR REFLECTOR STAFF Anybody who attempts to paint a picture of what the next Reflector will be like or what it will contain should never make bets on the strength of his hunches, for more than likely he will be wrong. The Annual is never the same from one year to another. The 1 Reflector Staff has tried to present a book to the student that will long be cherished by him. They have aimed to make it novel and entertaining and they have worked with their greatest effort to make the book a success. If they have failed they do not apologize or alibi but say that in making the book they have had one of the richest experiences of their high school careers ami graciously accept congratulations or condemnations as the case might be. However the staff wishes to here reveal the feelings of this staff and past staffs toward Miss Stewart, the art supervisor. Mr. Vesely. printing instructor, and Miss Falk, the journalist instructor and annual advisor. The students who have edited this book will always feel grate- ful for the aid and cooperation which these people have so generously given.

The students anxiously awaited their copy and then scru- tinized the paper, from the front page to the back page, reading each item with great interest. The Tattler made up of six pages, was published once every two weeks. It had a section devoted to the in- dividual interests of school activities. Drama, music, ath- letics, editorials, social affairs, clubs, and special news events were each taken care of by their respective editors. Besides these features, a speial page was devoted to Jun- ior High School news. The editors and reporters arc selected from the jour- nalism class and arc under the supervision of Miss Falk. There were two staffs this year. The first was headed by Bill Bacon and the second by Bernice Bartels. The editors of the departments worked efficiently together with the cditors-in-chiefs to make The Tattler” a huge success. The publication of The Tattler” was suspended in March in order that work on ‘The Reflector’ might progress more rapidly both in the editorial departments and print shop. The Tattler wishes to here thank the printing classes and their instructor, Mr. Vesely, for their cooperation in successfully printing the paper, and to Bartley Brown for doing the greater part of the typing for all school publications.

I The Scholarship “W” Club, solely an honorary organ- ization was first organized in 1912 ami promotes great interest among these students. This club’s members in- clude anyone who has received a scholarship letter during the four years of high school. The first step to gain entrance and receive a scholar- ship V is to make the honor roll all four quarters of the school year. To be eligible for the honor roll a stu- dent must have an average of ninety and no grade below C. The scholarship W’s” arc varied to distinguish them from one year to another. Those who had the required average to get their W for the first time receive a green “W” on white felt; the second year honor stu- dents receive a white “W on green felt. A green “W on a white background with a green binding is given to those who receive their third “W while the students receiving a scholarship letter for the fourth year get a white “W” on a green background with a white binding. It is a great distinction to receive four scholarship “W’s” and several from this years graduating class are to receive this honor. The purpose of this organization is to encourage the students of the high school to make high grades and improve their scholastic average. The mem- bership to this club is not revoked if the student does nor make the requirements for two successive years. This organization makes the students elcgible for schol- arships offered by colleges and universities. lvn. I V. Ccrajcws!;!, D. Small, C. Fratv.cn, M. Fcrcncc, V. Harmon, Mr. T.srn r. V.

This is one of the most active groups in the school, organized in September, 1931, under Mr. Turner, drama director, it has taken part in activities of all sorts, either actually producing the entertainment of lending a helping hand. This year there was no exception to the amount of the good work turned in by the members. They have cooperated with the giving of the Senior and Junior Plays and the annual Minstrel Show, acting in the ca- pacity of stage hands, prompters, electricians, advertisers, costumers, painters, and avnthing else that goes with the staging of a production. This year this group tried something which has never before been attempted in its history. The members of- fered the public a three-act farce, Phillip for Short,” on March 23. Mr. Turner was the director and a new notch was carved in the organization’s belt of success. Not being content merely to experiment with but one thing at a time, undestudies were employed. They pre- sented a matinee for the younger boys and girls, while the regular cast performed in the evening; both perform- ances went along smoothly. Being demons for work, the members of the Board presented yet another play, The Violin Maker of Cre- mona.” This was their contribution to the annual Lake County Drama Festival which was held at Horace Mann High School (Gary) this year. On top of producing the play, they made up quite an elaborate display and sent it over to the Gary school. In all likelihood, people are apt to think that a student has to be super-human in order to make the Theatre Board. No student is super-human, so that narrows it down to ordinary human beings. The Board is composed of students in the Speech Department. After they have expressed their preference for any post they most desire, the members arc selected by Mr. Turner and assigned to their offices. The only requirement is that each stu- dent be active in some main department of those of which the Theatre Board is comprised. There are three main departments of the Executive Board: Direction, Busi- ness and Stage Managing. OUR THEATRE BOARD Forty-nine Row I—II. I.. Arncr, U. Ad lev, B. Hands, M. Ference, G. Gallo, C.

Ear I Will Secretary-Treasurer .............Eleanor Vater Every year, as the time for graduation draws near, members of the senior class are singled out for commenda- tion of their character, leadership, scholarship and ser- vice to the school in their four years of high school. Fif- teen percent of each graduating class who fulfill these requirements are selected to the National Honor Society. The purpose of this society is to create enthusiasm for scholarship in students, to render service, reward leader- ship and develop character. This organization has chap- ters in several hundred high schools throughout the Unit- ed States and is under the control of a national council. Membership in the Middle West is limited to schools of ti e North Central Association of Colleges and Second- ary Schools. Selections arc very carefully made, recom- mendations having first been given bv a com OUR NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY teachers and then submitted to the entire faculty for final vote and approval. Scholarship is a primary factor in de- termining these selections but the qualities of character, leadership and activity are given due consideration. In the Whiting High School, this organization has been in existence for a period of four years and each year the ranks are increased by a quota of new members. Each member is entitled to secure the National Honor pin engraved with an emblem, which is looked upon as a merit badge of high standing. Of the class of ’34, twenty-four students, truly wor- thy of the name, were chosen for membership in this highest ranking of all high school societies. They are genuine, all-around students, not honored for some one outstanding accomplishment, but for steady, reliable work and leadership in all phases of high school activity for four years. Fifty Quill and Scroll is an international honorary society for high school journalists. Representing schools outstand- ing in the quality of their publication work, are about twelve thousand members who wear the badge of the society, a gold pin in the shape of a scroll with a quill pen lying across it. If a student has filled the office of ed- itor, he is entitled to have a regulation pin with a bar attached to it having the word, “Editor”, printed on it. Requirements for membership are rather exacting; they are those which would be expected of an honorary organi- zation. Candidates must be in the upper third of their class, have done superior work in some phase of journal- ism, be members of the junior class at least, be recommend- ed by the superviser of publications, and approved by the national secretary. However members do not include high school students only: all supervisors are members. OUR QUILL SCROLL When a charter is granted to a school, the adviser auto- matically becomes one of the society. In order to be of use to its members. Quill and Scroll has an underlying purpose. It conducts surveys in the field of high school journalism so that the types of publi- cation most suitable to high schools may be best deter- mined. It also publishes every two months a magazine named after the society. Through this, practical inform- ation connected with every phase of publication work is brought to the attention of staffs and supervisers, so that the quality of high school journalism may be improved. Whiting’s chapter of Quill and Scroll is not an active club. It has no officers nor does it conduct regular meetings. Yet it is the aim and ambition of all students of the art of news writing to be picked and rated among the fairest flowers of journalism. Row I—M, Ference, R. Huggins, M. Dolak, B. Brokaw, B. Bradac.

Fifty-one OUR MONITORS “Hey, you, not so much noise or I'll kick ya out!“ “Who ses so “1 ses so!” “Is zat so!” And that, my triends, is how the monitors do not talk, nor is it the way they arc talked to. In the first place, they would probably say, “Hush! that unearthly clamor disturbs the classes! Hush, I say.” They are honor stu- dents. ami being honor students they would not use such vulgar language as the opening sentence might indicate. In the second place, they are much too courteous to kick anybody out. They might have the janitor gently, very gently, propel him from the scene if he tried to get tough, but that is as far as they would go. In the third place the students would not talk to the monitors in such a way as to arouse their ire to much extent that they would stoop to “Is .at so!” The students respect them too much and acknowledge their authority b trying to do what is asked of them. It is the monitor's duty to see that order is kept in the halls, so that classes which might be in session will not be disturbed, and to keep students who come from the other building before a period is up from coming in the halls. A monitor also directs strangers, and visitors, to their destinations. The monitors have no formal organiza- tion such as a club with officers, but when problems arise, they meet and discuss proper solutions for them. This group was introduced by Mr. Applcgarth late in the spring of 1031. It proved a success and was continued under his guidance until this school year when it was turned over to Miss Falk. The organization however re- mains the same. There arc still three monitors for each period with substitutes in case one is incapcitated for duty, and the posts are still the same, two on the first floor, and one on the main floor. Row I—V.

Francis DuFon This is one organization that is on duty whether it rains, snows, hails or shines. The members are working at all school crossings and woe be unto the one who does rot march between the chalk lines. If a student does not obey a patrol boy he is doing no one but himself a dis- favor. The patrol is established primarily to safeguard the lives of the students. In doing this the officer acts in the capacity of a policeman and has the power to stop traffic until the student crosses the street. He does not let his fellow student pass until the road is clear of moving vehicles. The Patrol Hoys indicated their efficiency by the fact that they were organized and on duty on the second day of the school year. Of course such worthy endeavor should not go unrewarded, and it does not. Those boys who are in the club for one year and who are active members receive letters. The funds to finance this are derived from receipts obtained from some sort of entertainment, us- ually dances, sponsored by the club. This group was organized in 1929-30 by Mr. Apple- garth, and since then it has been bettering itself and set- ting an example before the rest of the school to do some- thing really worthwhile.

This organization is the French Club. Its meetings do not take place in France or any place near it. but right in the school buildiing. The main point however, and this is a good tip, if ever a person goes to a French Club meeting, he must be prepared to answer any question addressed him in French. It he does not speak French, at least he must not be sur- prised to hear French spoken entirely. He probably would not get away with a “Parley vous Francais, Chevrolet, Coupe?” either, since the club is composed of students sufficiently interested in French to think of that as a cue for a hearty laugh. This club was organized in 1930 under the sponsor- ship of Miss Hall, instructor in French. It was established for the purpose of providing students who wished to avail themselves of an opportunity to know the language better, to practice it by conversing in that tongue and participat- ing in French programs. It aims also to develop a friendly spirit among the students. 'Flu's group undertakes activities other than those of having a set meeting date, presenting programs at the ga- therings. and living up to its purpose, it also presented dances and each year a special party for initiates. Fifty-four OUR FRENCH CLUB 0 0 OUR LATIN CLUB The evils and vices of the “Romanus Senatus” are about to be unveiled in this starling revelation of this great ruling body. The Romanus Senatus which was founded eight years ago is divided into three sections, one of which is older than the other two. Each section has two consuls who pre- side at the meetings in turn and who also take part in the proceedings. The other office is that of quaestor which has a representative also in each section. It is the duty of this officer to act as secretary-treasurer of his group. The Virgil section, which is the oldest in service, se- lected as its official heads for tile year 1933-34, Irene Pup- lava and Hob Adlev, consuls, and Mary Kalina, quaestor. Members of this section have had from two to three years previous experience in Latin work. The third period section of the club picked Michael Jambic and Victor Thcgze for the consularship and Do- rothy Kcilman quaestor. This, as is the fourth period sec- tion, is a second year class, The fourth period class elected Richard Keiliman and Helen Stec . as their pre- siding officers and Steve V.snayai to jot down their min- utes. The Romanus Senatus, instead of making rules and reg- ulations and passing laws, is entertained at their meetings by short plays, dialogues, lecturettes, and readings deal- ing with Roman life.

Fifty-five OUR BIOLOGY CLUB During the school year of 1930-31. a Biology Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Whitton, biology instructor, to help further the interests of stu- dents who desired to go deeper into the study of biology than what is pursued in the classroom. Members are tak- en on field expiditions to study plants and trees and col- lect biological specimens. Although this club is not different from other clubs in that it has a purpose, it has done something different in the way eligibility to membership. Most other clubs have members who are admitted if they attain a certain mark in scholarship. This club has established such a mark too. but it has also advanced one step further. It admits social members, who are students of biology and who show such a degree of enthusiasm in the work as to probe further into its mysteries. They have all the privi- leges of regular members, such as coming to the meetings, carrying out problems of research, going to parties, etc , but one: they are not allowed to vote. Meetings of the club are twice a month, at which pro- grams are presented by the members and matters per- taining to biology arc discussed. In addition to meetings, the club is engaged in various other activities. This year it gave an after-school dance and an initiation of new members who are taken in every year. Everybody had a good time but the initiates who did not start to enjoy the evening until the initiating was over. However they can look forward to a little fun at next year’s party.

The Science Club is an organization cons'sting of stu- dents in the Chemistry and Physics classes who have a high scholastic standing and are interested in some speci- fic or advanced field of science. This club is quite dif- ferent from the other organizations of the school in that it has very little social activity. The paramount interest of this club is science. The club holds a general meeting once every two weeks. Special meetings of one or more of the three divisions of the club, i. e. analytic chemistry, radio, and photogra- phy divisions, are held at varying intervals. Kach divi- sion is under the guidance and direction of tin able spon- sor, Mr. Applegarth. The analytic chemistry branch takes unknown sub- stances supplied by the instructor and by various m ‘tinnis discovers their composition. The members of this branch also conduct experiments in the general field of chemistry. The members of the radio branch discover the how’s and why’s of radio. They experiment with many types of radios. Members build sets of their own design and also take apart completed sets. In this way they learn actually how a radio works and also which construction is most satisfactory. In the photography branch the members study the pro- cedure of taking and developing a picture. The main interest of this group is centered in the process of ob- taining the finished picture from the time the camera is clicked until the time the picture comes off the drier.

Coach Gallivan’s green and white powerhouse won 7 games tied 2 and lost two. They won the Western Division Championship of the Big 16 Con .erence and aroused interest enough to have a new up-to- date stadium built for the future Oiler teams to conquer r.vals on Much credit is due to the untiring efforts of Ray Gallivan who first gave Whiting a football team which drew a large share of praise throughout the state. Many members of the 1933 squad were named on num- erous honorary eleven.s, ranging from All-Conference to All- State. Vincent ()livcr. was awarded the quarterback berth on the All-State eleven. Pete Kovachic, Steve Sla- canin, Steve Fowdy. and John Kupcha were on the re- serve list of the All-State squad. The All-Western Con- ference team had four of its positions filled by Oilers. They were: John Kupcha (left end); Pete Kovachic (center); Ed. Greenwald (right tackle) ; and Vin Oliver (quar- terback): Honorable mentions were given Marko Evanich, Ike Mullaney, and Steve Slacanin. Still another mythical prep eleven boasted many wearers of the Green and White on its list. The All- Con ('erence team picked Pete Kovachic, (center); and Vin Oliver, (captain and quarterback) of its first eleven. Ed. Greenwald was placed at right tackle and Steve Sla- canin at right halfback on the second team. For their berths on the All-Conference team Vin Oli- ver. Pete Kovachic and John Kupcha received medals at a banquet in Michigan City, sponsored by the Big 16 Weekly, honoring the men who made the All-Conference Team. Lettcrmcn this year were: Capt. Evanich, John Kup- cha. Frit . Emken, St. vc Fowdy, Pete Kovachic, Clarence Mullaney, Vin Oliver, George Kovacich, Heppy Michna, Steve Slacanin, Al. Wajvoda, Andy Wajvoda, Frank Progar, Ed. Greenwald, Mike Kopcha, William Vasilko, Bartley Brown, Andy Puhek, Joe Pru .in, Thomas Buck- ley. and Leo Wasielewski. “Carry on for Whiting” was their slogan. No one can say that they did not fulfill it. Season Record for 1933 In the season opener the Oilers were prepared to break a three year tie with Thorton Fractional. Fractional thought differently and won, 7-6. Game number two was played “at home” on the “ce- ment athletic field. The Gallivanites scor d a victory- over the Alumni, 6-0. The traditional batt’c with Hammond came next and Sixty was played at night on Hammond’s field. Whiting was vic- torious for the first time since they started playing the Wild- cats. The Wildcats become “kittens” as the Oilers won. 7- Horace Mann was the next opponent to feel the strength of the Oiler eleven. Whiting rode roughshod over the Horsemen to win, 26-0. This was the worst defeat that the Horsemen ever suffered since they took up football as a sport. Returning to their home field the following week, the green and white wave next met Pullman Tech. Backfield and line clicked to give Whiting the victory. 20-0. Next on schedule and blocking the path to first place honors in the Western Divi- sion of the Conference was Washington. But the power was turned orr for another great Oiler victory, 7-0. Five days after beating the Senators, Whiting traveled to Gary to play Lew Wal- lace. They continued their steam-roller stride b defeating Wallace. 14-0. A conference game with Lmerson was next. This was played on Washington’s field. The struggle ended in a tie. 6-6, and Emerson won the honor oi being the first conference team to score on the Oilers. Another week went by and again Whiting played on Washington’s field. Roosevelt was the opponent. Both teams did preat passing, but Whiting uncorked the best of the evening when they used the air route to travel more than half the field to score in the last twenty seconds and get a tie, 6-6. The final game of the regular season was against Froebcl at Gary. The Oilers crushed the Blue Devils, 25-13. Final standings in the two divisions of the conference brought Central of South Bend against the Oilers at South Bend, for the conference championship. Whiting gave Central a battle from start to finish but lost. 14-13. Sixty-one ME 1933-34 cage season at Whiting High was not the best in the school’s history. It had. however, a happy ending when the much pushed around Oilers went to the semi-finals of the Gary Sectional on March 1. 2. 3. Coach Orsborn produced a great defense and a slow stalling game for his green and white clad lads. The Orsbornites were victorious over Froebcl and Lew Wallace this year and lost in the semi-finals to Ham mond who went on to win the big prep show and a journey down state. Of the fourteen conference games played by Whiting, ten were lost and four were victories. The teams that felt the Oilers’ wrath were Emerson. Froebel, and Val- poraiso, twice. Mooseheart and Catholic Central were the non-conference teams beat- en by Whiting. On the annual road trip at the close of the season, the Oilers played New Paris and Mishawaka. Coach Orsborn also entered his boys in the Christmas Invitational Tour- nament but even the good will spirit of Christmas failed to work in their favor and Lew Wallace and Hammond beat them. The Oiler team composed of Vin Oliver. Ed. Greenwald. Steve Fowdy. A1 Waj- voda, Donald Flint, John Farbak, Mike Kopcha, George Hanchnr. Mike Kinek, George Collins, and Sammy Wolfe had plenty of fight and Stick-to-’itivcness in spite of the tough going. Much credit is due the loyal, tireless Oiler Coach. Homer T. Os- born for putting that “ginger” into the boys and the Senior Class sincerely wishes the best of luck for him in the 1934-35 campaign.

Un- der the tutelage of Coach Gallivan the Oilers won six out of eight meets, third place in the Conference, and third place in the state contest. One of the defeats during the season was administered by Maine Township High of Illinois. The other was by Hammond by a single point. Always strong in the water sport, the green and white squad remained true to form by establishing at least one new record during the current season. This year’s record was made at the State meet in the 200 yard relay event. The relay team was composed of Nagy, Herovichic, Hor- vat, and Goerg. The time is 1 :46 2 as compared with the old time of 1 :49.3. Having competed a successful season, the Whiting tank team journeyed to Butler Field House, Indianapolis, for the State meet on March 31, 1934. The title, which they won in 1933 at the Community Center, Whiting, changed hands and is now held by Central of South Bend. The Hammond Wild- cats claimed second place leaving the Oilers the show position in the final tally. The swimmers who are lettermcn are: Love, Horvat, Goerg, Nagy, Kiraly, Slacanin ,Hanchar( and Hcrovi- chic.

Coming near the end of the school year, tennis at Whiting High, for some reason, never draws large crowds of fans. T he boys who wield their rackets for the green and white make up. in their own personal enthusiasm of the game, for this lack of followers. Coach Orsborn’s tennis teams have always been among the strongest in the district. Last season the Oiler tennis team tide for first place in the Western Division in the Conference, with Horace Mann of Gary. In the play-off Mann won 3-2. The team representing Whiting last year was composed of tin- following boys: Bruce Avery, Paul Brindley, Ed. Green- wald, James Judson, Mike Kanocz, and Nathan Kaplan. All six of them won letters in this sport. Five of them were lest by graduation, Greenwald being the only squad member remaining for the 1934 season. A tentative squad of twenty boys, from which the net team will bepicked is practising daily. These boys are: Ed. Greenwald, John Farbak, Steve Fowdy, Emil Mol- son, Joe Molson, Ralph Humphreys, Norris Wonnacott. J. Eaton, Bob Green and Roland Greenburg. In addition to the boys named there are six freshmen who some day hope to be “racketeers” and make the team. With this promising material. Coach Orsborn expects to put a very strong Oil City team on the courts this season. Last years squad made the following record . Whiting defeated Hammond—forfeit. Whiting defeated Froebel—forfeit.

Eearly in the first semester, the election to this board takes place and votes are cast by the entire school. A list of names suggested by the members of the board from the prececding year and the faculty mem- bers, is presented to the students. On voting, it is kept in mind that the members to fill this post must be con- scientious and willing to work for the good of the school athletics. In addition to the members elected by the stu- dent body, the board consists of Mr. Grubb, two faculty members, and the physical directors. It is endeavored by the board to keep up the school spirit, promote ticket sales, and work out all matters pertaining to school ath- letics. 'I'his year’s board is proud of the fact that the high school athletic field is being built during their term. The annual banquet, given in honor of all who took part in major sports, on April 10, was also regarded as a “feath- er in their hat.” At this banquet the board was able to have Bob Zupke, Illinois University football coach, as the main speaker. In addition to their other prescribed duties, the school cheer leader was appointed by the Athletic Board and the athletic “VV’s” were given to those who had earned their letters in the various sports.

Since its organization the club has been work- ing to interest a larger number of girls in more sports It has tried to create a spirit of good sportsmanship and friendly competition among the girls of the high school. Membership is granted to a girl when she has ac- quired 125 points. These points are obtained by keeping health rules, hiking, and belonging to class teams. During the year interclass tournaments take place and each class sends a team into the tournament. The girls on the teams get points and additional points go to the winners for their skill. Hockey, basketball, and volleyball are the winter sports, and swimming, baseball, tennis, and track come in the spring. A G. A. C. emblem is a sign of membership in the club. A white “W” means that a girl is a competent athlete and has acquired 600 points. Gold pins arc awarded to girls of unusual ability who have 1200 points. Besides their athletic talent these girls arc famed for their ability to sponsor clever social functions. Both their spring dance and the fall “Sweater Shuffle w re huge successes. The Varsity Swimming Team is separate from the Inter-Class teams It competes with other schools. The track meet was won by the Scnor girls. The Juniors and Seniors tied for hockey honors The Seniors especially deserve credit because they have won three years in suc- cession. The tennis team is composed of the br-st players, regardless of their classification. The Juniors won the Inter-Class swimming meet and the Senior girls carried off the laurels in volleyball base- ball and basketball.
