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

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

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.
