Whiting High School - Reflector Yearbook (Whiting, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 114 of the 1939 volume:

Published by the Senior Class of Whiting High School Whiting, Indiana WHITAP Kj xJBRAJfr WHITING, INMfW S J3)OlJ Dudley Jones was elected the most typical senior boy of Whiting High School. He is active in sports and in athletic associations, i s serious about school work, and very proud of his W sweater. Likes movies, radio, and read- ing. dl gg Noreen Buckley was chosen as the most typical girl. She likes girl ' s sports, is an en- thusiastic football and basketball fan, thinks the football field the best in the state, and wishes we had a new gym. She likes swing music, rust nail polish, and detective stories. V.. , a Page Five school. We ' re thinking now of the gay young Lochinvars and glamorous Ellens of 1939 who trucked on down through the halls of Whiting High. They were the irrepressible practical jokers who studied conscientiously to become kings of the swingaroos and queens of the jitterbugs. Their lively retorts and clever antics were ever a source of illumination to brighten the dull moments which invariably appeared in the school-day lives of their teachers. . . . Noreen Buckley and Dudley Jones, typical senior girl and boy, pictured throughout this book, were typical models of 146 graduated seniors. fid ( Win umdxi , Consider, for instance, appearance! Your eyes tell you at a glance that never before have Beer jackets, snazzy socks, and saddle shoes, been so brilliantly combined. The boys in their baggy shirts with the potato sack fit and the girls who enhanced their beauty with kitten-fluffs and shaggy page boys deserved the orchids in pulchritude. Personality-plus best describes the typical senior. A pleasant smile and a cheery Hi, there, greeted the underclassmen as well as the fellowclassman. They knew when to smile, when to look sad, how to look innocent, and never to look guilty. Their ability to stand firmly on two feet, open minded, willing to be convinced, criticised or complimented, helped make them the outstanding characters they were — Not only the apples of their mother ' s eye But rather like an apple pie — A lot of crust and full of applesauce. Education was cherished by all. . . . The typical seniors realized that they must be well informed when they stepped out on their own responsibility to lick the world, and Page Six establish a career. Not a stone was left unturned in ferreting out the subjects most desired for their individual needs. They combined a general and commercial course in order to help themselves meet the obligations of an ever changing world, the fair sex adding to theirs a course in the culinary arts. Both studied industriously and did their work well in an endeavor to be chosen for membership in the National Honor Society, an honor esteemed by all. . . . After long and tedious hours in classrooms and laboratories they found, much to their surprise, that Rex Beach is an author and not a summer resort. Travel is an item not to be overlooked in the life of a typical senior. It was not all done in books, or the family car. While some hoofed it about others owned their own jolopies. A thing not to be snickered at — No matter if its fenders flopped frantically, its engine chugged nervously, and its radiator leaked languidly; its wheels revolved fervently and it went! And sometimes even west, as far as Chicago, famous for its museums, art galleries, planetarium and aquarium, and right on by to dinner at the dime store and a down town theater. Habits formed by the typical seniors were an essential part of their lives. The big he-men that they were, garbed in their athletic W ' s, en- joyed a hot bowl of chili and crackers after a strenuous game on the gridiron or hardwood court, while the petite femmes gargled a coke for the pause that refreshes, after a lung session in the cheering section.

Page Twenty-six znicn a cm cJjLfitoXl ■) OUR long years ago, in the fall of 1935, a great event occurred in the lives of some 150 young students. It was then we were enrolled as freshmen in the Whiting High School. Not unlike other classes of freshies who had passed before us, we finally _ emerged from the hub-bub with our precious schedules, afraid to admit having a conflict for fear of being sent to the school nurse. Eventually the fog lifted and with the help and guidance of Mr. George Burman, our freshman adviser, we were able to see more clearly. Alex Parsanko was elected class president; Pauline Howerton, vice president; Mary Evanich, secretary; and Vivian McCarthy, treasurer. We made our debut in school activities by presenting The Princess and the Swineherd on November 20, 1935. Our outstanding social function was the freshmen reception. We entered our sophomore year with just a little more self-confidence and under- standing. Steve Kopcha, Noreen Buckley, Rosemary Homett, and Mary Evanich were our class officers this year. School spirit now began to trickle through our veins and as a whole, the class became staunch defenders of the Green and White. Our main activity was the successful presentation of the class play, Life Begins at Sixteen. Thoroughly oiled and lubricated in school decorum and curriculum, we approached our junior year with a full-grown feeling of importance. The principal ' s office was no longer regarded as a wolf ' s den, but a place where one could find solace from all per- plexing difficulties. The class play, Here Comes the Prince, presented May 18, 1938, proved that we had talent and could use it. The traditional junior prom was the traditional success. Leading the class as officers were Bill Jones, p resident; Dudley Jones, vice-presi- dent; Mary Evanich, secretary; and Tom Sanders, treasurer. We entered our senior year with a feeling of regret that it would soon be over. All too soon came the final activities — the senior class play, Blackberry Winter on Decem- ber 5, closely followed by the frivilous senior party, memorable junior prom, hilarious Bum ' s Day, gay Class Night, and at long last — heart-touching Commencement. This year our officers were Eudell Paul, president; Robert Ruman, vice-president; Mary Evanich, secretary; and Steve Hruskocy, treasurer. To Mr. B. J. Vesely, our senior high school adviser, we are truly indebted. His sincere guidance and sympathetic attitude will never be forgotten. The influence of our teachers will go with us through the remaining years of our lives. Page Twenty-seven Gambini ' s and the Shop were a haven of delight to the overtaxed seniors, and a place where they were always welcome — if they had a dime . . . The reading habits of the typical senior deserve mention because it was not unusual for a study hall teacher to remove, from behind a chemistry notebook, Doc Savage, or a Western Dime Novel, or spy the latest edition of Vogue or a motion picture magazine slipping unintentionally from the locker of some fair damsel. Nor had the seniors outgrown their childish humor for they still enjoyed the funnies, Smilin ' Jack, Dick Tracy, and Flash Gordon — Kay Kyser and Bob Hope were the favorite radio stars. The typical senior was guick to acquire the latest modes and was ever alert for something new and different. The girls indulged in all the modem methods of make-up. The favorite nail polish used was rust. Bass-proof lip-stick, and Stick-on powder . . .The male specie was never without his hair oil Page Twenty-eight and Sen-Sens. And last but not least, that boon to energy — the delight of a typical senior, the dread of every teacher — Chewing Gum. Sociability played an important part in the make-up of the typical seniors. They were good mixers, eager to take part in all school activities. They were all around girls and boys, and the same effort put forth in their studies was displayed in their social endeavors. They attended school dances, plays, concerts, and sports, and had membership in at least three school clubs. The junior-senior prom was always anticipated with much enthusiasm by the typical senior. Yolandas in flimsy formals tripped gracefully about over the feet of their dashing (Continued on Page Thirty-six) Page Twenty-nine Row 1: C. Clifton, A. Zubeck, G. Check, N. Shocaroff, J. Bryan, L.

Page Thirty-five Velozes shod with a shine that even Dupont would envy . . . Their adeptness to any situation demanded their presence at all school functions. They knew that they were the center of attraction, hence their every action was for the benefit of underclassmen who watched the big boys perform, envied their glory and then went off by themselves to practice what they had seen ... A group of happy-go-lucky students who were always willing to go to extremes for entertainment, but never found guilty of losing their traditional dignity. The outlook on life maintained by the typical seniors proves satisfactorily to the most critical that they had put away childish things and donned the cloak of adulthood eagerly and with an understanding comparable only to the best. They were filled with that rest- Page Thirty-six lessness so characteristic of true Americans. They felt that so far the world had played fair with them and they were anxious to retaliate with what little help they could con- tribute. At the time of their graduation the universe so full of distress, seething with wars and power seeking dictators, did much to emphasize their great fortune, to be living in America. They had learned through books and the experience of others that a living was not handed out on a silver platter, but that it had to be sought. So, the typical seniors, with diplomas in hand stood upon the threshold of a new life, confronted with a vital problem, a great decision to make, — Shall I join the army or the navy, or buy a monkey and a grind organ? Page Thirty-seven Behold the bug ar.d worm doctors! They meet after school to squint through the microscope or through the field glasses, to investigate the private life of a microbe, and build romances about the worm. Members of the Biology Club fall into one of six guilds. One group carves up speci- mens to see what makes the wheels go round; another ' s business is collecting frogs, fish, and crawling things; future caretakers of humanity are found in the third guild which studies diseases. The microscope is used in research by a fourth group, and a fifth corresponds with bug departments of other schools. The last guild offers exceptional inducements in the way of training its members to distinguish between the hickory and the maple; of advoiding the embarrassing mistake of calling the Doryphora decemlinetata a potato bug on one of its numberous field trips. Mr. Winterringer sponsors the club. Current officers are Steve Sramek, Steve Hruskocy, Emil O ' Drobinak, and Mary Gurchik. Row 1: L. Kaminsky, H. Baloff, I. Janos, J. Merek, A. Kuhajda, A. Zubec.

No, he was not trying to slip out on the teacher, he was merely one of the many patrolmen going to his post either at noon or after school hours. This little group is readily recognized for its effective job of promoting street traffic safety among school children. The patrol has a captain, two lieutenants and patrolmen. Under the supervision of Mr. O. M. Merriman, each patrolman is assigned to a station or a post to protect the students in crossing the streets.

The Art Club meets bi-monthly, in the spacious new art room, under the direction of Miss Florence Keve. The meetings are of a varied nature, entertaining or cultural. Craft meetings are frequent, whereby students have an opportunity to unfold any unusual talents they may possess. A star feature at one of the gatherings was a speaker from Gordon ' s advertising staff who spoke on art as a vocation. The Artists ' Ball was held the earlier part of May.

The setting — chorus room in the junior high building. Picture a group of prim prima donnas melodiously keeping time with the swaying baton of Mr. Calder ' s. Suddenly amid these lilting strains a jarring note strikes the sensi- tive ear of the director whose countenance betrays his thoughts. But a discord, we are led to believe, is a rare occurence. (?) Choral practice is steadily increasing its popularity according to the over enrollment. The students are hereby acquainted with and learn to appreciate the better selections in music. The mixed chorus groups (boys and girls) have been featured on several assemblies and other school activities. Credit is due Mr. George Calder, music instructor. The Boys Glee Club this year, as in all previous years, is bigger and better than ever betoie. This great number of untamed voices held in captivity at tunes grows violent and roars loud and long about birds and bees, moons and sunsets. Mr. Calder administers the inspiration and takes the blame for these oc erosions. No one openly arouses them of singing. Seriously the Glee Club is a splendid group oi bevs doing an excellent bit of musical work Their appearance ir. a choral assembly _s always applauded enthusiastically arc their help in producing Good King Wenceskrus was greatly appreciated. Together with the Gals Glee Club they take a very ' active par. in school programs. Rbw t: ?. Oasis, 3- StraariKu ? Searches. C. Smugs J. Csoe A. fcait X. Sti ie r rj . A Svcw Tv Wbwfc® t F ' sSrcr.

Do you want to learn the unusual procedure? Join the Camera Club! Camera Club members are usually in the dark when the question of photography arises. Mr. B. J. Vesely, expert wielder of the camera, sponsors this organization. These camera fans are earnestly interested in furthering their study in the art of photography either as a hobby, or in the hope of some day promoting a vocation out of the hobby. The Camera Club introduces to amateurs the preliminary steps of photography, such as facts about the camera, its use, exposures, and developing and enlarging prints.

Page Forty-four Players may strut and players may fret their hour upon the stage, but behind each high school theatrical, however uncalled for, is a tale of countless hours spent on tedious backstage drudgery, work of the Theatre Board. No less than twenty departments, each with a task no less difficult than the hardest, perform the tedious routines of costuming, makeup, staging, lighting, displays and scenery, auditioning, and business. Every successful production is due largely to Theatre Board management. This year the group presented such hits as Imaginary Invalid, a matinee; the colorful junior high Robin Hood; Mystery in Hollywood, assembly; senior class play, Blackberry Winter; Christmas pagaent, Good King Wenceslaus, all school produc- tion; The Inn of Return, which was given excellent rating at the Speech Arts Festival in Terre Haute; The Show Up, a matinee; Seven Sisters by the junior class, one of the best; and Idlings of a King, a burlesque. The annual Kick Off dance by the Theatre Board pried the lid off the social season. Ordeal initiations for new members were held in the fall, and again in the spring, intro- ducing a new method of accepting members. Kenneth Dalton, John Luptak, Roy Cobb served as co-production managers during the year. Mr. Turner is the director. obligato? A meeting never fails to arouse a diversity of opinions. For this is the Phil- harmonia, studying the cultural aspects of music. The club stands as an influential group in developing music appreciation and nothing less than long haired virtuosos. Surviving a year in the Philharmonia, a student is thoroughly schooled in the lives and works of renowned composers. Mr. Lesinsky, adviser, at times may dust off his leather- lunged victrola to illustrate a finer point he is trying to make. The group has none the less its lighter side. Its annual initiation for new members was staged on December 9, with the usual hilarity accompanying. The group saw the opera Barber of Seville in December. Janice Rhea is the club ' s president; Helen Baloff, vice president; and Milan Yancich, secretary-treasurer. Row 1: W. Perel, A. Perel, H. Baloff, D. Beavan. V. Judson, N. Kaplan, C. Hansen, M.

Caesar is dead, but the malady lingers on. Nobly does Latin fulfill its function, furnishing a means for completely befuddling the minds of simple high school students. This it does consistently, if not concientiously. As nobly does the Latin Club perform its functions, merely relieving the resulting mental strain through the media of fun and frolic. Over the bi-monthly class meetings Latin counsels, Alma St. Clair, Eugene Meisner, Dorothy Esamil, and Richard Bramer, and Latin quaestors, Norene Adams and Ed Nyland, preside. A light program of Latin songs, stories, playlets, and bits of Latin dialogue is presented. Latin games, jokes and conversation provide amusement. Miss Wilhelm is responsible for this attractive procedure. Guaranteed American pure food refreshments close the meeting. Row 1: M. I. Pechnyo, L. Meier, A. Dijak, E. Grabowski, R. Dudas, E. Mulva, K.

This informal organization is supervised by Miss Laura Linden, who staunchly believes that French must be spoken at any available opportunity to instill ' ' zee propare accent. Le Circle Francois agrees heartily, and is ready to cooperate with its best second-hand French. Excitement prevails when a long-awaited letter comes from a new French correspondent. The exchange of correspondence has proved a valuable asset towards stimulating interest. The meetings, which are held irregularly, feature French songs and stories and games; most popular was the bargain candy sale at the adjournment of one of the meetings. Twice a group of inspired French students, accompanied by Miss Linden, journeyed down to the International House at the University of Chicago and witnessed two French movies. Presiding officers were Andrew Vasilovcik, president; John Bukvich, vice president; Marie Herakovich, secretary; Paul Kasper, treasurer. Row 1: M. Helton, A. Perhach, A. Zubek, M. Slacinin, M.

Although the Red Peppers Club is not a newly organized group, it has its premier appearance in the Reflector. Membership is restricted to freshmen who are chosen by the faculty on the basis of school spirit and promise of leadership. Advised by Miss Ane Marie Petersen, the Pep Club has long taken its place among most active clubs. In addition to its novel initiation party, its other activities for the year included a skating party, a picnic, and its annual dance. The officers for 1938-39 were president, George Kochis; vice-president, Nora Driscoll; secretary, Betty Keckich; treasurer, George Herochik. Row 1: A. M. Petersen, M. Shreve, D. Lynch, R. Julier, I.

We all know that our civilization depends largely on applied science, thus we intro- duce the future scientists who promise to enlighten and show us the kind of world we are living in. Although this organization is not very active socially it holds its regular bi-monthly meetings featuring various experiments, reports and discussions by the members. Those possessing a still greater fascination of a scientist ' s work may often be found tinkering around in the chemistry laboratory after school hours . . . Who knows, perhaps a new substance or principle may be discovered, or the brooding possibility of a new planet swimming into his ken someday.

To these 20 serious minded young men and women is given the task of initiating and executing policies concerning care of school property, social gatherings, and similar matters. Vested in them is the trust to insure the peace, dignity and respect of our school. Membership includes class presidents and representatives, and representatives from home rooms. The group meets with Principal L. C. Grubb to discuss matters of mutual in- terest. The scope of the group ' s activities extends from controlling student activities to sponsoring nickel after-school dances. Rosemary Hornett is president; Rudy Kovacich, vice president; Stanley Bazarko, secretary, and Steve Hruskocy, treasurer. Seated at table (left to right): R. Judnich, E. Zehme, S. Bazarko, R.

For four years these students have been the leaders of their class and have upheld traditions of high scholastic achievements. Full worthy are they of an honor second to none in their high school course. Faculty members vote on membership. The group meets to carry on necessary busi- ness of the unit, only an integral part of the club which is nationwide in scope. In many instances, a National Honor Society pin is a letter of introduction, and the club stimulates excellence in high school work. Row 1: M. Hornyak, K. Murin, M. Evanich, E. McKinley. Row 2: E.

It is merited by those who average at least a B, and no grade lower than a C throughout a school year. Although the Club elects no officers, nor requests the payment of dues, it is a basis for stimulating greater effort for study on the part of the students. Four circular emblems, about 2Vz inches in diameter are offered, one each year, with a slight variation in design distinguishing each award. The first W is green with a white background, and the second, white with a green background. The third W is green with a white background bordered with green; the fourth award is a white W having a green background with a white border. Recipients of four scholarship emblems are awarded a gold W on their diplomas. Row 1: K. Kupcha, M. Evanich, A. Perel, A. St. Clair, A. Doody, H. Kovalcik, L. Meier. Row 2: V. Fedorko, N. Clark, F.

Mindful of the fact that a musical voice is a divine gift, Mr. Calder, vocal instructor, drills and trills the girls to secure harmony, expression, and beauty of tone, and to produce something that won ' t sound like Boola Boola.

The three first and second sopranos and altos are respectively, Eloise Rhiel, Rosemary Gainer, Janeace Campbell, Lillian Pollock, Louise Baloff, Verda McTague!

This year the group decided to see what prodigious sights exist in our windy city, Chicago. The trip was a combination pleasure-educational journey and included such noted spots as the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Tribune Tower and a tour through the WGN studios. Touring the studios gave the boys an opportunity to inspect the radio engineering equipment. Mr. W. P. Buerckholtz, machine shop instructor and sponsor of the Engineering Club, made arrangements for speakers familiar with the many different phases of engineering to address the club during the year.

Credit is given for only four sports per year regardless of the number in which a girl participates. In this way a girl who is interested in other extra-curricular activities may earn awards on an equal basis with the so-called Athletic Girl. All girls who enter a sport participate in the tournament at the end of the season regardless of their ability. At the end of every sport season, girls who display good sportsmanship, alertness, and fair play are chosen for the All-Star Team. Row 1: R. Bugg, M. Chovan, N. Johnson, K. Kovachic, D. Keefe, M.

I just sold one — to myself.” Yes, the object of numerous conversations was the senior play, Blackberry Winter. The ticket sale had slacked; several members of the faculty, brusquely announced their disgust at the lack of interest on the part of the seniors, while the latter, displaying ambiguous contenances, decided that something had to be done. What happened? No one exactly knows, but on the night of December 5, 1938, the Junior High auditorium seated a well-turned-out audience to witness one of the best senior plays. Cute Dolores Lauer with her hill-billyish antics and I ' m in love with rest Gus Penciak accounted for the many laughs. Edward McNeil proved that he didn ' t go in for that stuff by keeping at a distance from Janice in their, ahem, sentimental scenes. Each year a senior, who most sincerely and capably portrays his character in the senior play, is awarded an inscription of his name on a silver cup. The judges selected Gus Penciak from this year ' s competent cast. Last year Mary Snapp was thus honored. Mr. Kenneth W. Turner directed, what was acclaimed, a very successful play.

Ruth Dobbertin decides that being a Prince must be grand fun, so she determines to do a bit of masquerading while John Luptak, on the other hand, is forced to take on a girl ' s disguise. Sound screwy? Well, it was, nevertheless, a most delectable dish of spicy humor, continually bubbling with excitement. The constant threat of Johnnie ' s blonde wig coming off, and his faltering falsetto had the audience in stitches; while Marge Hutira in her endeavor to portray a perfect Granny sometimes forgot her screechy soprano in all the excitement. Rhody Homett seemed very bored with the whole thing — rehearsals every day for weeks merely to utter those memorable words, Yes, mother about half a dozen times. The play given on May 18, 1938, was such a howling triumph that Mr. Kenneth W. Turner, director, was obliged to present a matinee to a full house of anxious students who had missed the first performance. Page Sixty-one Ray P.

Page Sixty-five a±on i Replacement of eleven seniors, eight of whom were regulars, lost through graduation, was the situation that confronted Coach Gallivan when he issued the call for football in the middle of last August. However, he did have six lettermen coming back in Captain Bill Jones, and Eudell Paul, ends; Steve Kopcha, tackle; and backs, Tom Sanders, Pete Janik and Rudy Kovacich; consequently, he had to fill in green material at one tackle, both guards, center, and one back. By the time the Oilers began their season against Mr. Carmel, the so- called green horns had come through in such fine style that for onde in his coaching career Coach felt that when he substituted a player, he wasn ' t afraid of putting in a weak sister. Whiting ' s 19-0 victory over Mt. Carmel marked the debut of Mr. Arvo Antilla as line coach. After the green and white beat Mr. Carmel, the Chicago team went ahead to annex the Catholic League title of Chicago. Playing heads up ball, the Gallivan squad traveled downstate and beat the cream of the crop of Southern Indiana, the Sullivan Golden Arrows, 20-0. This was Coach Spike Kelly ' s lads, winners of the Wabash Valley Conference and who laid claims to state honors, first setback in thirteen starts. Hammond Tech ' s Tigers put up a tough battle, but the Oiler tide proved too much as they bowed their heads, 31-0. Rudy Kovacich ' s two touchdowns, Tom Sanders ' six points, and Harold Richards ' point after touchdown put the game on ice for the green and white as Roosevelt of East Chicago, then leading the conference race, slipped, 19-0. Whiting ' s 40-6 win over the Horsemen of Horace Mann was the first time in the history of the two team ' s gridiron activities that either one has been able to win by such a wide margin. Robinson, junior quarterback of the Mann eleven, was the first lad to cross the Oiler goal line. Page Sixty-six ' ' Oiler Boosters Invade East Chicago Tonight, screamed the headlines. But something happened and for the first time in six starts the boys felt the bitter taste of defeat, 14-0, at the hands of the Washington Senators. A crowd of 10,000 people saw the game. Hammond, an age old jinx, and who has a habit of knocking Whiting out of first place honors, did it again. They caught the Oilers on the down- beat and emerged victorious by a 13-0 count. The hapless Lew Wallace Hornets provided the next opposition. The Gallivan men hit the comeback trail and stung the Hornets, 25-0. At last came the long awaited tilt with Clark. Again the Oiler power- house completely disregarded the Pioneer ' s patented, pocket parable, Walt till next year, and for the fifth consecutive time since becoming a high school, the boys from across the Atchison Avenue line fell, 26-0. This brought the curtain down on the successful season. Whiting finished in a tie for third place with Hammond in the Western Division of the Northern Indiana High School Conference. B 19 Mt.

Brilliant play in the sectional tourney at East Chicago as the Whiting Oilers ploughed through a tough draw to lose to Hammond in the final game climaxed a good season under Coach Jim Adams. The team won ten and lost twelve games during the year. Cca-ch Jim Adam s oagers were the aggressors when they inaugurated the season against the Hornets of Lew Wallace, hut the Hornets had a little too much on the ball and sent the beys back home with a two point deficit 25-23- Tech of Hammond was the first home ' game of the year. When the fmffi score was sallied, Whiting lagged behind, 39-31. A short story — Clark and Whiting renew then strife — Tobias forgets to report to ' the officials — a technical foul is called — Buerckfaoltz, Clark center,, ties up the fracas — his teammate Santtay is hacked by Miller — score: dark,, 25 — Whitting,, 24. Whiting was outsorted in only one quartra of then tilt with the Emerson Norsemen, winners of the conference,, but dropped the contest by a one- side d score of 39-25. The green and white finally reached m far them bog of tricks, and pulled cut of the fire a 33-31 deastom at the expense of the Rough Riders Fai56 Sacr-suqS-i Rcw 2: of Roosevelt on the Riders ' home court. Richards and Ruman led the Oiler- scoring attack, each netting 11 points. This time Lev Wallace came to battle the Oiler crew on the home grounds. It ' s in the bag! It ' s in the bag! Shouted the crowd as the Oilers led by 12 points, 36-24, with four minutes remaining. Komenich, giant 6 feet 5 inch center, and Art Carroll of the Gar outfit swung their artillery into action and when the four minutes were up, Whiting was out in the cold, 40-38. Time out for a two weeks ' rest period and time out to make a few New Year ' s resolutions. Ring out the old and ring in the new year. Whiting did exactly this as two East Chicago teams felt their anger. Roosevelt was the first victim, 24-21. In one of the greatest displays of a comeback yet seen on the Solon floor. Coach Adams ' warriors came from behind and overtook the Senators, 27-23. Wildcats and Oilers — Hammond ' s Cats, long an age old menace came over and the teams had a tete-a-tete. What Hammond ser ed on their menu was Sterling Scott, 6 feet 8 inches, Clarence Hasse, 6 feet 2 inches, and Wally Ziemba, 6 feet 1 inch. Our boys put up a valiant fight, but Hammond won, 42-35. To vent their wrath, the Oilers took after the Valparaiso Vikings and chased them off the court by a 35-27 count. Ruman ' s brilliant ball playing netted him five buckets, and seven one-pointers, in all, 17 poiints. Jones counted himself in and hit for 11 points. Together the fellas registered 28 markers, or one mark more than the whole Valpo aggregation. Horace Mann, after their fresh 33-30 triumph over the Frankfort Hot Dogs, the state champs, met the team on our floor and Whiting added their scalps to the trophies of the chase, 32-30. With the expiring of the regulation time the count was knotted, 30-30. Free throws by Tuskan and Richards put the game on ice. Whiting traveled over to the Hammond Civic Center over the week-end and came back with two trimmings received from the boys of Hammcnd High and Hammond Tech. Hammond High 41, Whiting 30; Tech 38- Whiting 19. That jinx that the Washington Senators used to have over Whiting by way of basketball seemed to be broken as the Oilers downed the Solons, 28-26, for the second time this season. Washington has not won a basketball game from the green and white during the past two years. The following night the boys crossed the Atchison Avenue line and pitted their ball lamming against that of the Pioneers, only to be turned back by Clark, 36-29. Now the feud with the Pioneers has reached a new high as each team has won six games since all this started back in 1934 when Clark became a high school. The season was fast drawing to a close when the green and white lost a 26-19 battle to the Vikings of Valparaiso on the Valpo floor. Pegs Zixiy-ame For the first time in many a moon, the Oileis met a Chicago basketball team on our own floor — this team being the Hyde Park cagers who were leading the South Side of Chicago Public School League. Chicago used a strong zone defense. But our fast stepping forwards, Ruman and Jones, found loopholes and swished in 24 points. Starting the scheduled season with a defeat and ending it with a defeat was accredited the Adamsmen when they were nosed out by Froebel, 28-26, on the Gary court. Approximately 5,000 loyal basketball fans from all parts of the Calumet district were present when the Sectional Tourney got under way in the spacious Roosevelt gym in East Chicago, March 2, 3, and 4. Whiting had the toughest schedule of any team in the tourney. Go Whiting Go! Go Whiting Go! Smash ' em, Bust ' em, that ' s our custom! Go Whiting Go! and the Oilers did go. They went to the finals of the tournament and upheld their reputation as the team to beat in the tourney only to lose in the final game to their dreaded rivals, the Wildcats of Hammond High, 31-27. Whiting drew the Hobart Brickies in their first game and bumped the Brickies aside, 36-21. Roosevelt was next to fall, 38-37. At one time during the fray, Coach Adams ' lads had the Riders 18-1. As one would have it, the Oilers next foe was the Pioneers of Clark. The Robertsdale quintet, confident of a victory, found it to be a different story as a bucket by Ruman in the last 10 seconds of the ball game put Whiting on the right side of the score, 29-27. Now the count with Clark is Whiting seven and G. R. C. six. When the final reading of the tourney was published, it was found that one of our own boys, Dudley Jones, ran off with the high scoring honors of the whole tournament, accounting for 46 points.

In a few short years gas light spread over the face of the civilized world. But other more important uses have been discovered for gas.
