m W FOREWORD AND DEDICATION I radition has it that a yearbook must have a theme. I his year we have none, unless student life may be called a theme. If any enthusiasm is to be aroused by the book, it must result from the manner in which it is presented, because the contents are comparatively constant from year to year 0 and therefore, incapable of eliciting much interest. To attain a different effect, we have worked earnestly, and we hope we have succeeded in por- traying most vividly those elements which form our high school and its vibrant student life. It has been our aim from the beginning to the end of this year’s Reflector p to publish a book of the students and for the students. We have enjoyed the privilege of representing our class in the presentation of this book and sincerely hope that we have given the students a fitting reminder of their past year at Whiting High. I he prime purpose of our schools is not merely to educate but to develop firm and positive traits of character. With this in mind, we dedicate this Q book to the student body.

BORDEN The real merit of a high school is measured by the ability of its administration. Year after year, Whiting High School has advanced its position among the schools of the state be- cause of the caliber of the men who are at its head. Mr. W. W. Borden is now completing his sixth year as superintendent of Whiting Public Schools. His unyielding at- tack on all problems has brought him well-merited success in his efforts at perfecting and expanding the work of his prede- cessors. lioth before and since coming to Whiling he has dis- played a constant interest in the cause ol higher education. Realizing that the most important duty of society is the edu- cation of its children. Mr. Borden has endeavored to develop our educational system by eflecling many changes and im- provements in the school that have been beneficial to both students and faculty. His intimate knowledge of student activ- ity. gained through many years of experience, is a great asset to him as he cooperates in the shaping of school life. We. the students of Whiling High School, are gratelul to one who understands and always enthusiastically supports the endeavors of Whiting’s youths. P 1 JOHN C1ESAR. JR. President I). J. PASKWIETZ Secretary M. J. HANNON Treasurer BOARD OF EDUCATION I he hoard of education plays a very important part in the development of school progress, lor it is that body which represents the educational aspira- tions and which establishes and maintains the edu- cational standards of the community. It is this board, acting as a body and by recorded vote, that con- trols the schools, and this they do in the name of the people they represent and the name of the state which endows them with their powers. I he members of the board work with the best interests of public education constantly in mind and extend to the executive officers the confidence and support needed in providing the facilities necessary for the successful operation of the schools. The students of Whiting High School have reason to be grateful for their ceaseless labor in help- ing to build better schools and for the continuance of high ideals of the past. IX MEMORIAM J.

STUDENT COUNCIL Student participation in school affairs must be centralized and regulated, and in equal proportion, must the opinion of the student body be adequately expressed. That is the reason for and the function of the student council. It is a representative body composed of members elected by fellow students from all the classes and home rooms of the senior high school. It is through this body that policies are initiated and executed concerning the activities of all students. The purpose of the council is threefold: The first is to provide an effective channel of communication between the student body and the school author- ities: the second is to exercise a general supervision over student activities: and the third is to bind into a unit the most worthy of student opinions Confidence on the part of the faculty and cooperation from the students make our student council what it is intended to be and what it shall be—a powerful good in all departments of student life. The success of their under- takings demonstrates the cooperation of the students, and the efficiency and executive ab'lity of the members of the council. As a part of our school life, lit has proved itself competent and essential. School Nurse l„ Elam administers First Aid Mr. Wcpman.

BIOLOGY CLUB Consisting of biology students who are interested in furthering their study of plants and animals, the Biology Club was organized some years ago under the sponsorship of Miss Emily Whitton. the Biology teacher. Continuing under her guidance the club functions very successfully. The club is divided into several groups in order to give the members a wider range of work to select from.. The different groups and chairmen are Collecting. Irene Hrabo- veak: Correspondence. Dorothy Bugg: Diseases. Jenny Visnyai: Dissecting. Albert Wiscn: and Microscopic. William Mihalo. Any member particularly interested in any of these lines may join that group. The officers elected for the year are president. Irene Vargo; vice-president. Morris Hopkins; secretary.

SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club, sponsored by Mr. L. W. Applegarth. of the science and physics department, is composed of chemistry and physics students who are interested in doing extra-curricular work in the science fields. I he club was especially organized for those students interested in the study of ad- vanced chemistry and radio into which two groups the club is divided. The instructive meetings which are held bi-weekly are of a scientific nature. The program includes talks by the members of the club on some new development in the field of science with practical experiments, or a speaker representing one of the important industries in the locality. The advanced chemistry students study the composition of different substances: the radio enthusiasts build their own sets. This year the group formed a special class in glassblowing which was taught by a member of the glassblowing staff ol the Standard Oil Company. Occasional field trips to museums and factories are taken during the year. The officers elected for this year were Jerome Me I ague, vice-president: and Wilma Springgate. president; secretary-treasurer. [39] They’re Serlou About CbcmWry Lob. I MO) Row —Helen Walsko.

Buerckholtz. machine shop instructor, the Engineering Club offers to the boys in school an opportunity to learn the more important details about engineering. The members headed by Mr. Buerckholtz very often take field trips to the large neighboring industries which helps to give the students an idea of how important a place engineering holds in the modem world. At the meet- ings that are held every other week lectures are given by representatives of various firms and motor companies, and other interesting programs are arranged by the members. A field trip was recently taken to the Youngstown Sheet and I ube Company in East Chicago, one of the largest industries in this region. Here the boys were taken through the various departments where machinery is used extensively and this therefore helped them to realize how important engineering is. Another field trip was taken to the Industrial Arts Museum in Chicago. And again the boys learned more about engineering. The only membership requirement is to be sufficiently interested and the wish to study the various phases of engineering. Those holding office are Joseph Martich. president: Michael O’Drobinak. vice-president: and Andrew Saliga. secretary-treasurer. L A T C L U B Row — Lorraine- McClelland. EllorcA Goodwine.

Its membership is composed of students of the Latin II classes who meet at the regular class periods every three weeks under the sponsorship of Miss Meta L. Wilhelm. Programs are arranged consisting of talks on Roman subjects, plays, dia- logues. recitations and songs. Recreation from the regular routine of class work proves beneficial. Latin games arc played and contests enjoyed. Quaestors and consuls are the officers. During the year 1936-1957. Lor- raine McClelland. Billy Rutledge. Noreen Buckley. Walter Idziak. Alberta Price. Francis Kubeck. Mary Snapp. Eudell Paul, and Ruth Dobbertin have performed these duties. I be motto of the club is Deo. Amicis. Patriae. In living up to this motto members try to prove themselves good students, good friends, and loyal citi- zens. In addition to all the small private allairs held by the club the members usually give a public dance which is always well attended by the students of Whiting High School.

It is sponsored at present by Miss Esther Shirk. The purpose of this organization is to acquire a greater facility in the use of the spoken language and a broader and deeper understanding of the Fcnch iteople and their problems. Many of the club meetings have taken place during class periods. Inter- esting reports on current day problems are given by students who choose them from the Courrier des Etats-Unis,” a newspaper published in New York for French speaking people. Reports are also given which concern various French customs and usages for all seasons and fete days of the year taken from the Le Petite Journal.” Many short plays, dialogues, and French songs are included in the programs. The Cercle Francais appreciates very much the victrola. a set of language records, and French games which Mr. Borden and the Board of Education have made it possible to have. Many students have enjoyed and derived benefit from this equipment. The latter part of April the Cercle Francais I and II sponsored a picture show. Slides were shown to the school which were secured from the I’rench Railways. New York City. The officers of the club this year were Bill Koch, president; Charlotte Miko. secretary; Dolores Laucr. treasurer. c L U B [43] F R E N C H Row -Julia Pubck. Florence Choltyc. Dolores Louct.

Each class had a chairman who arranged for one social function during the semester in connection with the other groups. I he purpose of the meetings is to stimulate an interest in the French language, particularly the cultural aspects. 1 he French peasant life of the various provinces has been studied during which time a number of the most popular I oik songs have been learned and sung. Parisian and French city life received the attention of the group this spring. Those students who desire a French correspondent secured addresses from the National Research Bureau. George Peabody Teachers College. Nashville. Tennessee. The organization is preparatory to more active participation during the second year of French study. Chairmen who have furthered the organization of the groups are Steve Hruskocy. Cathrvn Kupcha. Albert Demkovich and Joe Truksa. Occasional parties are given such as the Christmas dance. Valentine partv. and other social functions in which the use of the French language is always fostered in some vital fashion. When sponsoring these affairs the Cercie rrancais I and II work in unison. Because of this cooperative spirit, they have produced excellent results. [««] NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Membership in the National Honor Society is an accomplishment of which a senior may he well proud as it is the highest reward which can he conferred upon a student of a high school. As its name implies, it is not a local society hut is nationwide in scope. Therefore, the students belonging to it have fellow-members in thousands of other high schools throughout the United States. Students, eligible because of their scholarship. leadership, character and service are selected by a committee of teachers. The faculty then vote for those who are most deserving of this honor. In this way the high standards of the society are maintained and the superiority of its membership is awarded. A student may not enter the National Honor Society until his final year, hut in the preceding years he may prepare for it by achieving the require- ments necessary for membership and maintain a high scholastic standing. Vigorous effort and perseverance are the outstanding traits of Whiting s honor students. These traits give them an advantage over the average student, for ability and willingness to exert oneself produce the most successful scholars as well as leaders. Row —Irene Vorgo.

SCHOLARSHIP W Organized in 1912. the Scholarship W Club has grown to one of the most renowned and honored organizations in the Whiting High School. Membership in the club depends on the retaining of an average of 90% (B) with no single grade lower than 85% (C) during the preceding school year. 1 herefore it is considered a high honor to belong to this organization. Membership is denoted by the awarding of small scholarship letters. 1 he lirst V is of green felt with a white background. I he second award is white with a green background: the third like the first with an additional green binding: the fourth like the second with an additional white binding.

TATTLER STAFF Our I aider, the popular school paper which is published throughout the school year, should be credited to the able members of the Tattler staff. Under the supervision of Mr. Borden Purcell and with the cooperation of Mr. Bernard J. Vesely and the boys in the print shop, the paper is published regularly every two weeks to be enjoyed by the students. The reporters and editors have worked together in perfect harmony to make a real success of it. In addition to the regular four pages, additional pages ol mimeographed work was occasionally added which made the paper even more enjoyable to the student body. In January a special Health Tattler was published by the Junior members of the staff. The Junior Journalists headed by Lois Locke and Mildred Kekich. under the supervision of Mr. Borden Purcell, printed this issue as a part of a campaign waged against F. B. I his lattler won first place honors and a prize of $ 10.00 in competition with 14 other Lake County school papers. The Tattler contains news ol all school activities, clubs, dances, plays, football and basketball games, and other things that may interest the student body.

In November the subscription drive was started. Soon, subscriptions came pouring in, and the goal was reached to the joy of all the senior journalism students. Mr. Borden Purcell selected and gave assignments to the staff members, and the work was begun immediately. The Reflector is really a record of all that has taken place this year in Whiting High School. Departmental and social affairs, athletic activities, clubs, classes, students at work and play are shown throughout the book. I he Reflector staff has worked diligently and in unison during a period of eight months. However, with the co-operative spirit they all contributed it was a worthwhile experience that will never be regretted. The staff not only worked during their journalism period, but during their study periods and after school hours being guided by Mr. Purcell, journalism instructor and annual adviser. .

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club is composed of members of the first and fourth periods chorus groups. This group meets one day at the first period and every day at the fourth period. Under the direction of Mr. George Calder. vocal music instructor, the girls have done a great deal of advanced work, and have progressed rapidly. The Girls’ Glee Club and the Bovs’ Glee Club compose the mixed chorus. I hese groups have presented many good assemblies and also provided the vocal music in the freshman-Christmas play Why the Chimes Rang. Vocal music is purely an elective subject. But such is the enthusiasm developed among the members of the two groups that many students carry the course over their 3 years in high Mr. Calder Listens To Result of Hi Effort school. The training received in the vocal music department has enabled many students who have gone to college to participate in further choral music work. Many have put the talent that they have developed in singing to the serv- ice of the community, participating in community chorus work and in the various church choirs of the city.

E E C L U B BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys Glee Club under the direction of Mr. George Caldcr, the vocal music instructor, has been progressing very rapidly. In the last few years it has taken a very active part in the school activities. At Christmas time together with the Girls Glee Club they helped to put on the freshman play ’’Why the Chimes Rang in which a great deal of vocal music was necessary. The club is composed of two groups, one which meets every day at the fourth period and the other twice a week at the lirst period. The Boys and Girls’ Glee Clubs combined form the mixed chorus. I his group meets once a week for their rehearsals. The chorus sings a variety of songs, some old. classical and popular. Working in perfect harmony with Mr. G. Caldcr the boys obtain splendid results. Working with Mr. Calder are Lorraine 1 larrison and Vivian Collins who serve as the accompanists. T he boys are divided into four groups: first and second tenors, baritones, and bass. In the future Mr. Caldcr expects to have two periods of music so as lo devote more time to the group.

Oiler debaters ably carried Whiting s tradition for winning laurels into the speech field this year. Debating the state subject. “Should Electric Utilities be Govcrnmentally Owned, the affirmative side was upheld by Alice Carlson and Richard Springgate: the negative by Rolland Greenburg and Robert Green. 1 he splendid results should be credited to Mr. Hersehel Griffith. senior civics and economics teacher, who is also the debate coach. I he affirmative team did not lose one debate throughout the entire season. Besides being champions of Section 3 and 4 of District 14 and talcing part in league activities, the debate team also presented a debate in assembly. DEBATING TEAM Joct—Albeit Wi ch. Mr. H.

PHILHARMONIA CLUB Two years ago. when all the clubs were resuming their various activities, a new club then yet without a name was organized under the supervision o( Adam P. Lesinsky. hand and orchestra instructor. I he members of the newly found Philhannonia club formed what is now a rapidly growing, interesting, and educational group. It continues on this year with a group membership which now totals 57. To study music from its cultural side, to create a friendly spirit among its members, to acquaint the orchestra and band members with the life stories of famous composers and to become familiar with parliamentary pro- cedure are the main purposes of this club. Meetings are held twice each month at which are studied the history of music lrom ancient church music ol the Greek and Hebrews, the light opera and ballet of the middle ages, and modern school music. I he lives ol composers and the dilferenl types ol music are discussed by members ol the club. I hose holding office arc Eleanor Niziolkiewicz, president: Elrene Lehr and John Eidson. vice presidents: and David Kaplan, secretary-treasurer. [54] Row —Marjorie Jonc Walter. Dolores l.auor.

M O N MONITORS The had monitors chosen because of their ability to meet people, their character, and also their scholarship standing, compromise a system first introduced into Whiting High School in 1931 by Mr. L. W. Applegarth. chemistry and physics instructor. The duties of the monitors are to see that order is kept in the halls during and in between classes, and keep record of students who leave the building during school hours without an excuse, and to keep students out of halls during class, and to direct strangers who come into the school. Miss E. I’alk was in charge for a time, but Miss Josephine Shea, history and English teacher at present is the sponsor. There are four monitors appointed for each period of the day — three regulars and one substitute in case of the absence of one of the regulars. 1 he posts remain the same, one at each of the three main entrances to the build- ing. I he monitors, unlike .... n , other organizations in school. A Monitor on Uuty . J? do not Junction as an organ- ized club with officers or regular meetings. However, they do meet with their spon- sor to discuss problems when- ever they arise. I T O R S [55] Row i— Robert Judnlclc. John Andrews. Paul linker, .lack SUlcn. Kdwnrd Dobrowolskl.

PATROL CLUB Each clay, rain or shine, sleet or snow, as the student approaches or leaves school, he finds the white helled patrol boy. standing on duty at each crossing directing traffic and leading students safely across the street. Tribute can be paid to Mr. Leo W. Applegarth s office and the Patrol Club who in seven years of service have never once been responsible for any mishap to the life or limb of a student. Mr. Applegarlh’s own words. “It’s the best club in school.” may be heartily seconded by everyone, for no matter what the weather or the condi- tions, the school s able police force may be depended upon to efficiently carry out any duty, intrusted to their care. Leaders of the {jroup this year were Alex Yuhas. who was captain of the group during the lirst semester, and John Wargo. who was captain during the second semester. Paul Janik. Steve Kaminsky. John Bukvich and John Hruskocy were lieutenants during the first and second semester, respectively. As a reward lor their perseverance last year, the boys were given a luncheon and awarded the club’s insignia for their year of duty. 156] Learning One Phnrc of I lou$clioI(l Arl Row —Maty Evanidi.

SOPHOMORE DRAMA CLUB The Sophomore Drama Club was organized in 1955 under Mr. Kenneth Turner, drama teacher. It was continued under his guidance this year until February and then taken over by Mr. Hart F. Smith, the new drama teacher. The club has served as fundamental experience for the sophomores. The purpose and idea of the club is to interest more students in public speaking and drama and have more students take an active part in drama. Since lower classmen have been admitted to the Theatre Board many members of the Sophomore Drama Club have been working with remark- able cooperation in putting on some of the productions and thereby making themselves more familiar with the drama department. The play of the sophomore class was presented by the members of the Sophomore Drama Club on May 21. The show produced was Huckleberry Finn a famous old character and his pal Tom Sawyer who ran away from home on adventure down the Mississippi River. The story was written by Mark Twain. The play was a great success and proved that, though only sophomores, they too have talent for acting. The officers are Noreen Buckley, president: Walter Oliver, vice-president: and Vivian McCarthy, secretary- treasurer.

E B 0 A R THEATRE BOARD Consisting of approximately 45 members, the I heatre Board takes its place among the successful accomplishments of the class of 1957. As an extra-curricular activity it has become the job of the hard-working crews of the Theatre Board to supply all stage scenery. lighting, make-up. and costumes for the various class plays, assemblies, and special shows staged every year by the students of the high school. 1 he various departments increased their number this year and the make- up department now consists of approximately 28 members. I his is due to the large number of freshmen who had never before been allowed to take part in the activities of the board but have this year made a valuable place lor themselves in the organization. Each department has its executive who divides the work among the crew. Besides doing theatre work the board plans parties, dances, and provides entertainment lor the school. Several matinees are put on each year, the proceeds used to lurnish the department 'with new materials. I he I heatre Board was organized by Mr. K. W. 1 urner during his slay as drama teacher at Whiting High School. When Mr. Hart E. Smith took over the duties of Mr. I urner at the beginning ol the second semester he became the sponsor ol the organization. D 160) Row —l-orralnc McClelland. Sara Tyich.

ATHLETIC BOARD It is in the hands of the Athletic F3oard that all athletic policies are shaped at Whiting High School. As the name indicates, the board was organized to act as a supervisory committee on all matters of or pertaining to sports at Whiting High. It consists of six students, the principal, the athletic director, and two faculty members. The students are elected in a school-wide election, which is held at the end of the school term, to the positions they will hold the following year. Meetings are held the first Monday of every month. Among the duties of the board are the purchasing of the school s athletic equipment and the management of both the sale and distribution of tickets to the various athletic contests. It also awards the athletes W’s” for the various sports and helps to promote school spirit and enthusiasm among the students. This year the board purchased new suits for the football and basketball teams. Ralph Waterhouse. H. T. Adam . Ray Callivar (62) Row —Emil Cliovnnic. kolhmi! Grccnburg. Andy Kiraly. Sieve Nagy.

CLUB “W” Club membership is a goal which every one participating in athletics is eager to realize, for it is considered an honor to belong to this organization whose purpose is to instil a lasting school-spirit in the student body, to promote loyalty to our school, and to stimulate the boys interest in competitive athletics. Only those athletes who have worked hard for the good of the school and have earned their major letter in cither football, basketball, wrestling, swimming or tennis are eligible to become members of this select society. The club is under the able guidance of Coach Ray P. Gallivan. head football coach: and the football men seemed to be popular choices for the dub s officers, with Walter ldziak’s election to the presidency. Sam Gure- vitz as vice-president, and Ernest Michna doing double duty as secretary and treasurer. The “W” Club sometimes acts as a legislative body in determining the requirements lor a letter, as this year they, together with the athletic board, decided the number of points necessary for a major letter in wrestling, a sport which has just been started at Whiting high school. However not all of their attention is centered on matters pertaining lo athletics, for each year a “W” Club dance is staged and is always a highly successful affair.

T B A L L FOOTBALL This year s Oiler gridiron machine enjoyed a brilliant season. Many experts considered Whiting the best team in Indiana during the early part of the year. The Oilers trounced Horace Mann 14-0 and this team later won the State Championship. Few of the Whiting fans expected Coach Gallivan to have as great a team as that which opened the season by ill-treating Blue-Island 46-0. The boys then had the right amount of confidence so they took Roosevelt into camp by a 21-7 score. The next week the Oilers made Angels out of the Froebel Blue Devils of Gary by harping out a 20-0 count. ITiis year Clark had a good team, and they intended to show Whiting how to lug the pigskin, but for some reason or other the Oiler boys defeated the Pioneers 27-15. Then in their best game of the year Gallivan s crew trounced highly touted Horace Mann of Gary 14-0. Whiting was going to win the conference and state championships. A trip was taken down to Evansville. A train-load of fans accompanied the team. The locomotive heroes got off the train long enough to trim Central 59-19. Sports writers began using suprelatives; photographers visited the Whiting camp. Headlines and pictures of the Oilers appeared daily in papers of the region. The next week Hammond High (those boys surely didn’t look at the papers) gave Whiting her first taste of defeat. 6-0. Then unmerciful Wash- ington stepped on the Oilers. 7-0. Enough of this — so Lew Wallace of Gary became the victim of Whiting wrath. 25-0. The curtain was lowered by puffing aside the Emerson Tornado. 19-0. 164] Cel In I here and Dig. quoth Coach Gallivan The Oilers placed second in the conference. They were the only team to defeat Morace Mann- 1 | the team that won the Northern Indiana Confer- ence championship and was selected as mythical slate champions. I he class ol 57 can proudly say that they were represented by one of the greatest football teams in Whiting history. Joe Grdina. Steve Nagy, and Bob Green were g awarded places on the all-conference team. Grdina and Nagy were also given places on an all-stale first team. [65] Eleven won — twelve losl — finalists in sectional tourney — won six and lost six in conference play — the best basketball record at Whiting for ten long years. Coaches Gallivan and Adams brought the team along rapidly and the boys were real contenders for tourney honors — losing only to Ham- mond who went on to the finals of the district tourney.

Orsborn s call for candidates to initiate wrestling as a fledgeling sport in Wbiting High. The boys were drilled on fundamentals during tbc year—having as a goal a building program in wrestling which would eventually produce a worthy team. This year s team won 58 bouts and lost 111. I heir season s percentage was .340. John Holieky placed second in the 165 pound division in the con- ference meet. I he boys won only two matches this year, but they were com- peting with teams that had many years of experience to their credit. Mike Kohut. Charles Greskovich. Edward Resctar.

Although weak in certain spots, they managed to splash out in line shape and as a result a fair swimming team was developed. The squad lost the majority of their meets—winning three and losing twelve, but managed to have Jack Stewart win first place in all of his meets and first in the 100 yard breast stroke in the conference meet by clipping 1 5 10 seconds off the conference record. His time bettered that of the state record. I he Oilers placed fifth in the conference meet held at South Bend. The boys receiving letters in swimming were Jack Stewart, ace breast stroker; Lester Smith and Andy Kiraly, both dependable free stylers. In the Indiana state swimming meet held at 1 hornton Fractional Pool, at Calumet City. Illinois. Jack Steward won the state championship in the 100 yard breast stroke event. His time was 1:12.8. l-ester Smith placed lilth in the 100 yard free style in the state meet. Whiting placed second in the 180 yard medley relay with Andrew Kiraly aiding Steward and Smith with ihe backstroke.
