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. Names: Harriet Nash. Helen Kecklch. Lillian KIojc. Mrs. Mildred Vater. 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. .

HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY I he relation between the teacher and the student is usually one of good will and understanding, because it is an important part of the teacher s work to become acquainted with each member of his class, to really know him, that he may be of more assistance to him. 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.
