HITING High School students have al- ways been thankful tor the day on which Whiting’s Board of Education appointed Mr. L. 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

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.

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
