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.

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.
