wmmmmmmmm ■R S5g3$g � � 118� PUBLISHED BY THE WHITING HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS WHITING HIGH SCHOOL. WHITING. INDIANA Nothing so greatly exemplifies friendship as fire, for friendship emanates that same sense of warmth and cordiality that is ever prevalent in the presence of fire. Yet. just as there are many degrees of heat, so there are various stages in the fervency of our affections. The word “friendship” itself simply means the state of being friends, but numerous shades of meaning are expressed in that word when it describes the relationship existing between those friends. That may involve profound admiration, love, respect, comradeship, or only mu- tual interests. Examples of all of these and others can be found in our own school. In our school system, parents, teachers, and students work together with that cooperative spirit which marks true friendship. The administration and faculty in working for the interest of students gain their lasting respect and admiration, while class friendships are a natural out- growth of the close associations of many years. These individual friendships are further en- couraged by athletics and other extra-curricular activities blended with one another in leaving embers that glow forever on the hearth of eternal friendship within each of us. Thus, it is the object of this book, which was written by friends, to show especially the friendship that exists in all aspects of our school life. Many, many years ago, when fire was yet a new thing, it was the custom for young girls of Rome ancl her neighboring cities to devote a part or all ol their lives to the service of V esta. goddess of the hearth. These Vestal Virgins, as they were called, resided in a temple where a sacred fire was kept burning at all times, and it was their duty to sweep the hearth, replenish the fire with fuel and take care that the fire was never extinguished. If this was not done, all Rome would suffer the consequences in the form of some great disaster. We, too. must have the hearths of friendship within us swept clean of all opposing emo- tions. and our fires of friendship must be replenished with the fuel of pleasant recollections and new acquaintances. For these reasons, just as the Vestal Virgins of long ago dedicated them- selves to fire, we dedicate this book to friendship and to the keeping of friendship s fires within us. It is hoped that, in its making, new friends were formed, and that later in its reading old ones will fondly be remembered and perhaps even renewed. lat 53 as there beh 1 inly nlU’ A T pefati ink 1 irai out' her leaving is tl exists Steve Visnyai ........................................................

Our superintendent. Mr. W. V. Borden, who came to Whiting in 1951, has maintained a sincere, wann-hearted interest in the students and tbeir activities. 1 hrough bis efforts the various departments in the school have been improved and enlarged in order that the students may derive the most from their four years in high school. A more extensive educational program, more thorough teaching methods, and new equipment are among the improvements included in his plan to make Whiting High School a happier, a finer, a more friendly school, one where fellowship and loyalty rule, a school that will always he remembered loudly by the students. To our friend. Mr. Borden, therefore, we extend our deep appreciation and gratitude and the hope that he will continue in his present capacity for many years to come. life©? BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education — although some may have failed to realize it — has done a great deal in making Whiting High School a more efficient, a more pleasant, a friendlier place for the students. It con- sists of high-minded, capable Whiting citizens who have the interests of the school at heart. DR. 0. E. ORANSKY President MR. J. ROSS GAMBRIL Treasurer The members of the school board have, in cooperation with the superintendent, in- troduced more modern educational methods and improvements: and, due to their un- tiring efforts, Whiting High School has shown marked advancement. MR. JOHN CIESAR. Jr. Secretary T IE SCHOOL PRINCIPALS At the head of the senior and junior high schools. leading, directing, and hearing all responsibilities, are two of our best friends. Mr. Grubb has long been and we hope will long continue to be in friendly relationship with the faculty and stu- dent body in the senior high school. His willingness to guide and instruct, to assist in any way he can. and always to keep things running smoothly, has MR. !.. C. GRUBB High School Principal made him a true example ol cooperative kindness. Many students have been aided by him in preparing their pro- grams to suit their plans for the future and also in carrying out those plans after graduation. Mr. Riordan has likewise been a friend of the teachers and students in the junior high school, and he has been a great help to freshmen in getting ready for high school. MR. n. !.. RIORDAN lanior High School Principal £. X, THE OFFICE STAFF Our school couldn’t possibly be the successful organization it is without our staff of efficient office workers, yet we students are prone to forget they exist. Quiet, never trying to draw attention to themselves, they go about their duties and accomplish them like some well-oiled part of mechanism. As friends they work together to keep the wheel of efficiency within the school ever spinning, and we wish to show our appreciation of their splendid work in ful- filling the demands made of them. We expect someone to be always ready to answer our questions, to supply us with necessary information, and to assist us when we need assistance, and they have not failed us in these expectations.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is highly instrumental in strengthening the friendly relationship between the administration and faculty and the students. Its main purpose is to settle problems that arise in the school, and it works diligently in the interests of the students. It is comprised of the president of each class and a representative chosen from each home room. The principal. Mr. L. C. Grubb, acts as adviser. The council endeavors to make Whiting High School a more friendly, as well as a more efficient school for the students, and. in keeping with the idea, gives an annual dance, one of the most elaborate social affairs ol the year. .

True, differences may arise: but. more often than not. the two can work together with harmony and friendliness. Not only do they aid and. in a sense, serve us as teachers in the classroom: but also, as friends, they offer us valuable advice, sympathize with us when we are in difficulties, when we must face perplexing problems. They take a sincere interest in our extra-curricular and after-school activities, encourage us in our ambitions and influence us to strive more determinedly than ever toward success. Many of them act as sponsors of organizations and classes, willingly devoting their time and energy to help further comradeship and cooperation among the students. Indeed, it is with extreme regret that we. the senior class of 1956. bid farewell to the faculty, to those men and women who have guided us so ably, so efficiently, with such understanding through these four happy school years: and they may be assured that we will always remember them as true friends.

THE CLASSES The fire of friendship that glows within each of the four classes is evident, too. in their relations with each other. That fellow-feeling, that co- operative enthusiasm which is caused, in a large degree, by a common loyalty and devotion to the school, is largely responsible for the definite progress shown in the work of the four groups—senior, junior, sophomore, freshman. Not only do they take great strides forward working separately but they also reveal marked advancement as a well-organized unit, directing all their energy in the best interests of Whiting High School. Without this spirit of comrade- ship, however, the various class enterprises could not be the successes that they are. May this friendliness, therefore, continue to prevail in the school, and may it make Whiting High a school even finer, more active, more pleasant than it already is. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY I he class of 56 began their high school career under the guidance of Mr. G. O. Burman in 1952 by choosing as their leaders Helen Stecz, president; James McFadden. vice-president: Ann Ward, secretary-treasurer. “Civil Ser- vice. the freshman play, and the freshman party, the two main functions of the year, marked the beginning of a successful four years of friendship and activity. As sophomores the class progressed with their new adviser, Miss Meta Wilhelm. Among their many social affairs the most important event was the sophomore party given April 20, 1954. This year s activity was led by God- frey Bradac, president: Helen Stecz. vice-president: Harry McFadden. secretary; Lottie Zivich. treasurer. In their third and junior year the officers were Dorothy Keilman, presi- dent: Ann Ward, vice-president: John T. Eaton, secretary; and Dick James, treasurer. Their junior play, “As the Clock Strikes, presented April 26, 1955, was followed by the most awaited happening of the year, the junior prom. Then they came to the closing and most active days in their history, led by Michael Kinck. His assistants were Gertrude Brown, vice-president; Dick James, secretary: Frank Progar. treasurer. The seniors may now look back on these as the most prominent events of all their years: the Harvest Round-up” dance; the senior leap-year party; the senior play, “Huburt, the Great ; the junior prom: Bum s Day: Class Night: and. last of all. Commencement. As we read this history, the story of our class, and recall those many happy incidents, we are filled with the desire, the wish that we could return and live those years once more—yes, despite the little troubles and hardships that we considered then to be so monstrous. We, the class of ’56, know we would not have such pleasant high school days to remember if it were not for the capability and guidance of Miss Meta Wilhelm, our adviser and friend, and it is with sad hearts that we bid fare- well to her and to Whiling High School. Although we realize that we now face a brilliant future, that the greater and perhaps the more eventful, the more important part of our lives lies before us. we feel that the happiness we experienced during these four years of high school cannot be equalled.

(Confinued on Page 4-i) JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY file junior class of W liiting High School started organizing in the fall oi 1955. Their leaders were Sam Gurevitz. president: Noreen Moore, vice presi- dent: and George Wargo, secretary-treasurer. On April 6. 1954 they presented the Ireshman play, Aaron Boggs. Freshman, before the largest audience ever assembled in the Whiting High School Auditorium. The freshman party, a very successful affair, took place May 19. Miss Ane Marie Petersen and Mr. Paul D. Carver were joint advisers of this class. In the next year, as sophomores, with Miss Eugenia McDonald and Miss Ruth L. Nelson as class advisers, they elected Bob Green, president: Marian Parsanko, vice president: Marjorie Richvolsky, secretary; Charles Quandt, treasurer. T he big event of the year was the colorful Artist’s Ball held Saturday, April 20. The juniors in their third year were ably led by Walter Idziak, presi- dent; Marge Chomistek. vice president; Tom Hruskocy, secretary: Steve Hatczel, treasurer. They presented the junior play and all important junior prom. T his year their class adviser was again Miss Ruth Nelson. T his is truly a history of which the juniors—next year’s dignified seniors —can well be proud. The year 1957 will surely be, if they continue as actively and as industriously as they have in the past, a memorable one in the life of every junior. We. the class of 1956, have valued the Iriendship and comradeship of the juniors, the class of 1957, through these four years. In the coming year it will be the duty and. we are sure, the desire of the juniors to carry on in our place in the friendly and able manner with which they have won themselves a place in the hearts of their fellow classmen. We know that, because of their success in the past three years, they will continue to uphold the high standards of leadership and cooperation set by the classes before them and will help in making Whiting High School more friendly, more active, and more progressive than it is already. We wish them the best of luck and continued happiness for 1957. Page Forty-Two JUNIORS Row 7—Clara Ccrajcwsli. Helen Marge Chomlsleb. Lucille Biesen. Emma Dorothy Clifton. Eleanor. Dabrowsbl.

ACTIVITIES In extra-curricular activities, in the various student organizations, in the school social affairs the spirit of friendship is very strong—more so. perhaps, than in the formal routine of procuring an education. No. the classes arc not rigid, strictly serious affairs where a smile is forbidden: but naturally one ex- pects to work, to study during his school hours if he wishes to derive some value out of high school. Consequently, the students participate in outside activities as a relief or change from the regular school work. This year, more than ever before, the student s extra-curricular, social activities were given serious consideration by the faculty and officials. An un- usually large number of organizations were formed—as the following section will reveal—and fellowship in the school was strongly emphasized. V THE LATIN CLUB The Latin Club, composed of all advanced Latin students and spon- sored by Miss Meta Wilhelm. Latin instructor, proved to be an active group both from the educational view point and from its social activity. Meetings, held once every three weeks at usual class time, were directed by two consuls, who alternately presided, and a quaestor who has secretarial duties. I he use of games, playlets, songs, and reading pertaining to Roman life causes a more pronounced interest among the students to coincide to the understanding of Latin, and promotes a more friendly attitude in the club.

Burnett came as substitute instructor. The beginning of the new semester brought Miss Esther Shirk to our faculty and she is now sponsoring the organization. The purpose of the club is to promote interest in gaining knowledge of the French language. Committees are appointed, and programs are presented to attain this end. Through cooperation and friendship the club bas become one of the finest in the school.

A superior and unusual type of organization and student government are found in this board. Under the faculty director. Mr. Kenneth Turner, and the student director are four main sections. These in turn are divided into nineteen different departments. Every section and every department is lead by a chairman who directs the activity of his or her group. Where there are so many students working together naturally there exists a strong feeling of friendship. Four matinee plays have been presented this year by the members of the board and drama class. One of these was a world premier. This year Kathryn- Cole acted as student director, Harry Hood as production manager assisted by Parvin Midkiff of the staging section and Mary Lou Carlson of the art section. Row —Belly Lou Null.

John Julier TATTLER STAFF Our I atller stall is a well-organized group, in which cooperation and efficiency are displayed to a very high degree. 1 hroughout the year the editors have worked harmoniously with each other and with the reporters in getting out the I altlcr regularly and in good form: and the reporters themselves, in covering their various heats, have been very effective news-gatherers. Still, our paper could never have been successful were it not for the splendid work of the boys in the print shop who have always been co-partners of the staff in issuing the Tattler. 1 hus. there have been two kinds of cooperation involved in the school publication — that existing between members of the staff, and the goodwill present between the staff and the print shop.

Subscriptions and advertising campaigns were begun at once and carried on throughout the year. The editors have worked harmoniously and efficiently in compiling the material for this book: and they have derived great satisfaction from their participation in making the 1956 Reflector the worthy enterprise that it is.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY One of the greatest honors a senior can achieve in school is to he named a member of the National Honor Society. Scholarship, service, leadership, and character are the chief requisites. First, students eligible because of their scholarship are selected by a special committee of teachers. Their names are then submitted to the other members of the faculty who vote for those who they believe best fulfill the other requirements. I hus are rewarded those who have, in their four years of high school, worked conscientiously, taken part in extra-curricular activities, shown them- selves as able leaders, and have devoted their time and energy in the best interests of Whiting High School.

The relation that one finds between coach and athlete, that exists among the members of a team is one of understanding and fellow-feeling. True, one sees rivalry and competition, but this is not to be taken for hostility or antagonism; it’s a friendly rivalry—friendly rivalry between indivi- dual athletes, between our team and those of other schools. Moreover, there exists a feeling of cooperation: for teamwork, everyone realizes, is absolutely essential in athletics. This comradeship, this friendliness will, we feel sure, always remain in the athletics of our school and will continue to make Whiting High School known for its goodwill and true sportsmanship. ATHLETIC BOARD I he hiting High School Athletic Board is designed chiefly to manage the financial matters of school athletics. It also aids in, fostering school spirit and a stronger interest among the students in sports events. It consists of six students, the principal, the i directors of athletics, and two faculty members. The students are selected for their positions on the Athletic Board near the beginning of the year in a school-wide election. Meetings are held when necessary, and problems related to athletics arc discussed. I he board is in charge of ticket sales and expenditures of athletic funds. It also decides upon the various athletic awards and. this year purchased new uniforms for the cheerleaders. Moreover, this organization, like many of the others, promotes a friendliness and understanding between faculty and students by bringing them together to work harmoniously in promoting athletics in Whiting High School.

MUTUAL INTERESTS The exciting finish of another high school year is over-—for the members of the class of 1936 it was the most exciting and their last. A student slowly, fondly turns the pages of the 1956 Reflector and suddenly comes upon the book of mutual interests. No. he does not. upon discovering it. close the annual, or turn back hastily to the other sections. Instead, he scans each page, each advertisement with interest. The student, whether he had any part in producing this book or not. is interested in this last but extremely important section as well as the advertiser: and in that fact lies the reason why it has been called the book of mutual interests. Every merchant, business-man. specialist listed on those pages has. the student realizes, aided greatly in making the 1936 Reflector the successful book that it is. The student knows, furthermore, that the best way to prove bis appreciation of the townspeople s interest in the school is to patronize that store, shop, or office which has advertised in the annual. Be determined to get ahead and be successful. Decide to save something regularly and invest carefully. Be prepared when YOUR opportunity comes. We desire to serve the youth of this com- munity and grow with them to a successful maturity. STATE BANK General Banking OF WHITING All Forms of Insurance C. J. BARKDULL. President.
