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

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.

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.
