Page Iwentynine CLASS HISTORY Today we are freshmen! Miss Petersen was our class advisor and to start things off, we chose as officers Albert Demkovich, president; Harry Blastic, vice president; Paul Demkovich, treasurer, and Rose Adzia, secretary. During that first year in high school, we attempted an achievement that is only possible for upper classmen, scholastic ability, social grace, and that wide awake look that distinguishes the wise student. We put on a play called Why the Chimes Rang . It was the thing with angels and everything. We had a private party and then we had our Freshman Ball. Vaca- tion was drawing near and to celebrate the great event of becoming Sophomores, we had Freshman Class Day. History, will, prophecy, wisecracks, and tears ended our freshman year. Sunburns all gone but the school ' s still there. Same president again this year, with Joe Troksa as vice-president; Paul J. Demkovich, treasurer; and Rose Adzia, sec- retary. Social functions included a private party in the girls ' gym, and a formal Sopho- more Dance. A one-act matinee, Jealousy Plays a Part , was our class play. Miss Canine was chosen as our class advisor. When class elections come along, it ' s always taken for granted that the president will be a boy. Not this election though! Mary Hruskocy, president; Paul Seman, vice president; Jask Patterson, treasurer; Mary Gurchik, secretary. This was the year when we woke one day and found a raging blizzard outside, and this was the year when we didn ' t go to school that day. Great big he-men such as John Palikan, Peter Javorcic, and Gerald Kalmas made their debut in the class play, Seven Sisters. A Hungarian comedy that was well worth the time and effort to see. Junior-Senior classes held a joint picnic. Athletic contests, games, and refresh- ments, wind, sand, and more wind made it an event to be remembered. Prom theme was Maytime . Senior year, last year, and probably the best and busiest year. Individual class plays were abolished, and replaced by two all-school productions. T. B. tests were given to all seniors. New eligibility regulations were set up for athletics, class and club officials, editors of school publications, etc. No snow for Christmas but we had a white Easter. What a Life first all school production, brought people in flocks to our school. The world premier of Moonstone held two nights — April 25-26. Class night committees were announced by Joe Troksa, president. Other officers were Paul Seman, vice president; Mary Hruskocy, secretary; Nellie Clark, treasurer. Miss Canine, our advisor, has the appreciation of the students she has guided through their high school years.

Cobina, that must be classical music; I never heard anything like it before. Bread line? No, tickets to that much publicized matinee, Thursdays at Home. The print shop boys can be recognized by that satisfied look — satisfied that they read Static before it came out. It seemed to everyone but the editors that the Tattlers should come out every week. And no one was happier nor more surprised than the editors when the Tat- TUESDAY Grandma would feel right at home in this age, what with bustles, hoop skirts, baby bonnets, and wasp-waists all coming back. Fashion ' s latest, and the must for every high school girl — Sloppy Joes , knee socks, saddle shoes, and hair bows. Her ideal of him this year was a gentleman (they seemed to be the rage). Loud, plaid shirts were very much in evidence in the wardrobe of any high school boy. More fun around school. Initiations aren ' t what they were in grandma ' s day, but they still have the old comic element. Slowly, deliberately, he pours the color- less liquid into the tube.

A few £ y National Honor Society The blessed work of helping the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men, but it is done right here in our own school by students like those on the National Honor Society. Four years of leadership, scholarship, and character qualify a senior to become a mem- ber of this worthy organization. Competition is great and the honor is also. Members are chosen by vote of the faculty on the basis of Scholarship, Leadership, Ser- vice and Character. Pins are given to these leaders and although they are small there is a story within — a story of great accomplishment. Meetings are held weekly and suggestions made to improve the character of students. Officers are George Gay, president: Pau 1 Seman, vice-president; Nellie Clark, secretary; end Eleanor Hildebrand, treasurer. Row 1: (left to right) A. Perel, V. Fedorko, M. Gurchik, M. Hruscocy. C.

To gain membership in this club a student must maintain an average of at least a ”B with no grade lower than a C throughout the entire school year. The Scholarship W ' s are varied to distinguish them from one year to another. Students receiving four scholarship emblems are awarded a gold W on their diplomas. Row 1: (left to right) E.

Page forty Athletic Board Over a long period of years the Athletic Board has functioned very satisfactorily. The co- operation of the students and faculty has been much to the advantage of students for good organization. The Athletic Board consists of the Principal, the various coaches, one faculty member ap- pointed by the Principal, one faculty treasurer, and six students. This board takes up very important questions that arise daily: fixing of prices for tickets to the athletic games, finances of the Athletic Department, purchasing of equipment, balancing the budget, improvements to be made, awarding merits, discussing debatable decisions, plan- ning banquets, and pep assemblies. Mr. McAdam acts as treasurer; Ethel Bradac as student treasurer. Albert Demkovich is president; Paul Hric, vice-president; Loretta Herakovich, secretary. Mr. Vesely represents the faculty, Coaches Adams and Gallivan, the Athletic Department, James Homco and Verda Mc- Tague, the students. Seated: Mr. J. McAdam, Mr. L. C. Grubb, J. Homco, M. J. Vesely. Standing: J. Adams, V. McTague, P. Hrig, A. Demkovich, J. Troksa, L. Herakovich, E. Bradac. Student Council Bang! The meeting will come to order. The problem before the council this morning is that of regulating traffic in the corridors and on the stairs. This is typical of the many pro- blems concerning the school and the student body which confront our student council. The twenty-two councilmen and women are class officers and representatives of the classes and of the home rooms. The council, under the guidance of Principal L. C. Grubb, endeavors to bette r our school government. Officers are Joe Gresko, president; Joe Pokraka, vice-president; Virginia Collins, secretary; James Homco, treasurer. Row 1: (left to right) M.

Page fortythree Biology Club Sticks and stones may break my bones, but bugs will never hurt me!” These dissectors, collectors, and bug-lovers have a strange variety of meetings. Either they study the little world thru the miscroscope and discuss disease, or take field trips, col- lect and dissect their specimens. Each meeting is conducted by one of the special guilds and in this way every topic of discussion is debated. As an annual hi-lite of the school an all-school dance was given on March 29, the theme of which represented wall-flowers. Officers of the club are Nellie Clark, president; Dorothy Keefe, vice-president; Eleanor Frankiewicz, secretary; and Julia Puplava, treasurer. Miss Emily Whitton is sponsor of the club.

Under the sponsorship of Mr. Leo Applegarth, the science club meets bi-monthly. Programs for the meetings are planned by a program committee. The major problem of this group seems to be what to do with the money in the treasury. Ah, well, we could think up worse things to worry about. Of this organization the membership is 22, the p ' esident, Paul Demkovich; the vice-president, John Saliga and the secretary-treasurer, Charles Parker. Row 1: (left to right) G. Lukas, E.

It is also the motto of every stu- dent within this system. Efficiency and safety are the passwords and this group does an excel- lent job of upholding them. Mr. O. M. Merriman is the sponsor and supervisor of this group. His duty is to select a post or station for each member of the staff and see that they are on the job! Rain or shine, the patrol boys must go out on duty. A letter is awarded to every boy who has put in two years of faithful service. This is a large green W with the word Patrol running through the center of the letter. The officers of this club consist of a captain and two lieutenants. After election the follow- ing were put into office: John Kiraly was captain; Edward Gregor and Herbert Kilgour were chosen as lieutenants. Row 1: E. Sanders, B. Cerven, G. Butkovich, C. Simaga. J.

These and many other expressions are heard in the corridors as our garcons (boys) and filles (girls) try their newly learned French lesson on poor us. Meetings are very informal and are held frequently during the year. At these gatherings French stories, games, and songs steal the interest of the members. After the enjoyment more is yet to come with the selling of penny candy. Miss Laura Linden is sponsor of the club and she entrances the students by relating to them many of the incidents of her trips to France. Officers of the club for 1939-1940 were Mary Chovan, president; Mary Gurchik, vice-pres- ident; Marguerite Roe, secretary; and Julia Marek, treasurer. Row 1: (left to right) M. Lesko, L. Kredlo, S.

The Roman Senatus, made up of all Latin II students, meets during the regular class periods. Gloria Huenger, Milton Oberlander, Janeace Campbell and Neal Cobb preside as consuls, with George Kochis and Evelyn McKinley as quaestors. The purpose of the club has been to vary the monotony of regular class work. Songs, roll- call, recitations, talks, playlets and games make up the program in which all members may take part. Miss Meta Wilhelm sponsors the club. Row 1: G. Mazanek, M. Murga, M. Lesar, J. Vogel, N. Paschen, M. Porvaznik, M. Dobak, M. Zahorsky, M. Kostolnik, M. Shreve, N. Johnson, M. Jancosek, J.

A monitor ' s life isn ' t as easy as it seems. The monitor is there to remind those with a touch of the wander-lust to act accordingly. A sham reprmand or a scornful look from a dutiful monitor will squelch any boisterous boy or giggling girl. The monitors ' duty is primarily to keep law and order in the corridors; among their other duties is signing locker passes. The enrollment of monitors is 40, including substitutes. They are stationed at both en- trances to the study hall, at each end of the building, on all floors and in the middle of the second floor. Miss Josephine Shea is the able commander of this corps of corridor corporals. Row 1: (left to right) V. McTague, A. Doody, V. Fedorko, N. Schocaroff, R. Swanson, R. Gainer, A. Perel, A.

Rain or shine would find them punting on the gridiron, and passing in the gym. This season everything from games to teeth have been lost on the field of battle. Some setbacks occured, but these were overshadowed by the athletes ' achievements. The W Club annual dance is one of the Hi-Lites of the social whirl. Officers for 1939-40 were Ed. Resetar, president; Steve Spebar, vice president; and Charles Moreno, secretary-treas- urer. Mr. Gallivan is the sponsor. Row 1- (left to right) L. Jocko. J. Kulas, C. Sanders, P. Keckich, G. Gay. J.

Some day we hope that such questions and answers will be really stated about our Engin- eering Club members. This club, under the sponsorship of Mr. W. P. Buerckholtz, meets in the machine shop ot the high school. At the meetings, discussions about the subject of engineering are carried on and some meetings feature speakers who speak to the students about the different phases of this most interesting subject. Current officers are John Kiraly, president; John Dernay, vice-president; and Edward Gre- gor, secretary-treasurer. Left to right-Row 1: — D. Pechnyo, S. Grabowski, J. Pokraka, J. Bakos, J. Zajac F.

WHlIlixo rtuDL.iv. liokaK WHITING, IN 46394 Page fiftyfive Philharmonia Not a sewing circle, not a craft guild but a group of music lovers. They appreciate the masters and their beloved compositions. They study the operas — old and new. The Philharmonia is composed of students from all classes. Any one who is interested in music may become a member of this group, but first — the initiation. It was embarassing for the girls to go without make-up for the day. It was fun to put up their hair, but when the boys had to polish their nails — it was worth it, anyway. This group has set up as their goal the conquering of the masters and their works. They haven t decided whether The Unfinished Sympathy ' ' was finished or not, but they all agree that Herbert was a good composer. Helen Baloff leads the club as president; Doris Beavan, vice-president; Eugune Kuhn, treas- urer; Mr. Adam P. Lesinsky, adviser. Row 1:— N. Whiting, M. Oberlander, H. Baloff, D. Beavan, E. Kuhn, K.

Mr. Calder, the instructor of this group of nine, does an inestimable job of directing the girls. Also, we mustn ' t forget the accompanist, Alice Horn, whose capability as pianist helps a great deal toward promoting this institution of music. The girls are chosen after several tryouts and must be, and are, the best in the whole school. They are divided into three groups: first sopranos, Rosemary Gainer, Mary Clare Driscoll, and laneace Campbell; second sopranos, Lillian Pollock, Louise Baloff, and Verda Mc- Tague; and altos, Nina Shocaroff, Rose Dudas, and Elsie Shocaroff. Their engagements were many. Among some of them were broadcasts for National Educa- tion Week, Christmas carols for Hammond merchants, programs for the various Women ' s Clubs, and several entertainments for the school assemblies.

Page fiftysix Tattler Our Tattler is the school paper in which we read about everyone ' s business includ- ing our own. The students look forward to it with much interest and enthusiasm. They scan its pages with great anxiety to see what is printed about them. Aside from this, the paper contains news of all school activities, such as football and basketball games, school plays, dances, clubs, and all other things of interest to the stu- dents. Under the supervision of Mr. Borden Purcell, and through the assistance of Mr. B. J. Vesely and the boys in the print shop, the Tattler staff was able to work with co-or- dination in publishing a paper enjoyed by everyone.

One of these very important anniversaries is here this year and it is going to be celebrated in many different ways; it is the tenth anniversary of the Whiting High School Theatre Board and also the tenth anniversary for Mr. K. W. Turner, the orig- inal sponsor and the present sponsor of this organization. This club started as most clubs do, with just a small membership but with a great deal of ambition and an aim to make their club the best in the school.. It began with twelve departments, but as the interest of the students became keener more departments were needed, therefore, after ten years, they have fourteen active departments, and ten semi- active departments. The active departments are as follows: Business, Directing, Staging, Lighting, Publicity, Costuming, Sound, Property, Make-up, Scenery, Prompting, Play Produc- tion, Secretarial and Display. The rest of these are classified as semi-active departments. The membership has been increasing steadily since the club began, and therefore, they had to choose those who could do the work of the club the best. This is done by hav- ing those interested in serving as an apprentice on the Theatre Board, work for a certain amount of time on a project. During these ten years the Theatre Board has sponsored thirty-four three-act plays and five Junior High major productions. They have also assisted in fourteen other major productions in Whiting.

There ' s no doubt that What a Life was a success. A huge success. To the cast it was fun, except once in a while when they had to repeat a scene about eight times over. Even then it was fun trying to determine whose patience would be lost first, director or actor. Helen Marie Kovalcik was a perfect high-school girl. Peter Javorcic ' s fancy sweater bri- gade and the doggy get-up of Dorothy Collins took the audience by storm. They say Bob Sharp was acting natural. Could be! Evervone liked that casual saunter of Marilu Slaten and were a little disappointed to see Gloria Huenger disappear backstage so many times. The house was packed so full that the people sat in the aisles. Now when they tell you they laughed so much that they rolled in the aisles, you know what they mean. Yes, it was one great play!

The Oilers started the 1939 campaign with one of the greenest and lightest teams in many a year. Only three regulars returned; Kovacich, Richards and Res- etar. Although much wasn ' t expected from the boys, they wound up the season with 6 wins and 3 defeats. A surprising record for a team not rated to do much. Mount Carmel opened the season with Whiting, hoping to avenge the 19 — 0 de- feat administered to them the previous year. They did it all right but the game was no push-over. Hard pressed until the final gun, the Carmelites emerged with a 20 — 19 victory. Later they went on to annex the Chicago Catholic title. Southern Indiana ' s highly touted Sullivan Golden Arrows were the next team to invade Whiting. The smashing drives of Kovacich, Moreno and Singel were too much for the Arrows, who had to be satisfied with a 31 — 7 lacing. Sullivan went on to win the Wabash Valley championship. Froebel was geared to high pitch for its Whiting tilt, but again the Oilers ' power proved too much for the opposition. The Oiler machine functioned smoothly as it rolled over the Blue Devils, 19 — 0. Pago seventy Whiting traveled to meet the Rough Riders in what turned out to be a fast and exciting game, in the first minutes of play Whiting recovered a fumble and Moreno took the ball on a reverse play and scored on a 35-yard run. In the second quarter Roosevelt fumbled again and Whiting marched down the field to another touchdown. The third quarter brought the final Oiler touchdown when Kovacich scored and Pok- raka kicked the extra point. The game ended wih Whiting on top, 20 — 0. A capacity crowd witnessed the Emerson — Whiting game. The Norsemen, com- posed of veterans from the previous year, crushed Whiting ' s conference chances by nosing out a 14 — 0 triumph. Both of the touchdowns were the result of intercepted passes by Emerson just when Whiting seemed to be on the march toward a touchdown. Handicapped because of a driving rain and muddy field, the Oilers lost to the Senators, 12 — 0. Our lads seemed to lack the stamina in this game. A couple of successful passes and a spectacular 73-yard run by Washington ' s brilliant Sarkisian resulted in the two Senator touchdowns. In a game tremulously exciting from start to finish, the Oilers riddled Hammond High, 13—7. It was the Green and Whites ' first conquest of the Wildcats in five years. Recovering a Wildcat fumble on the Purple ' s 28-yard line in the opening min- utes of the game, the Oilers drove to the 4-yard stripe, where Kovacich went over for the first score. The extra point was frustrated. The Wildcats, however, came back to make the score 7—6 in their favor. Another recovered fumble by Whiting result- ed in the Oilers ' second touchdown. Hammond was penalized to the four yard stripe from where Singel went over for the tally, Pokraka converting the extra point. Whiting was assured of a share of second place honors in the NIHSC when they defeated Lew Wallace 13 — 6 at Gary. The Hornets were the first team to score, but the hard-plunging Singel crossed the goal for the Oilers in the third quarter. Whit- ing missed the extra point. It seemed that the game would end in a tie, but the brill- iant Singel again crossed the goal for the Whiting squad, Pokraka booting the ex- tra point. Ho, Hum! — It ' s the same old story — O lers overwhelm G. R. Clark to wind up the season. This time the Oilers took the city title, 19—0. Singel went over the Pioneer line in the first quarter, Patterson in the second, and Moreno in the third, after which Richards kicked the point. It seems as though the boys from across the border will have to wait till next year if they hope to get that first victory over Whiting. SEASON ' S 19 A Mt.

Heze Clark, of the Indianapolis Times, placed fullback Rudy Kovacich on the first team of his all-state high school squad with Ed Resetar rating second string and Steve Spebar and John Singel given honorable mention. The Whiting American Legion presented Ed Resetar, captain of the victorious team in the Clark — Whiting football game, with a trophy which is to be awarded to the winning team each year. John Singel was awarded a gold football for being the most valuable Whiting player in the Clark— Oiler tilt. Ed Resetar and Rudy Kovacich won first string honors on the All-Conference. Peter Keckich and Joe Pokraka were placed on the second team. The boys who will be lost through graduation are as follows: G. Barda, S. Baz- arko, H. Blastic, P. Demkovich, S. Hrpka, R. Kovacich, C.

The Oilers were up and down the first part of the season, but as the schedule progressed they began to display that brand of basketball that was expected of them. Whiting finished the season in a tie for third place in the conference. The Adams- men won the last seven conference games on the schedule and were the leading scorers in the conference with a total of 509 points. The Oilers started the ' 39- ' 40 campaign in an adverse fashion, being tripped by Emerson, 36 to 28. Whiting led at the ha ' .f but the Norsemen attacked swiftly in the 3rd and 4th quarters to bag the game. Although the Green and White improved in the second game, they were stung by the Lew Wallace Hornets, 30 — 27. The house was packed. The teams — Whiting and Clark. The score, well let me see, anyway there was a score. First Clark was winning and then Whiting. Now ! recall; the score was 25 — 23. Whiting was on top, of course. With a beautiful exhibition of air tight defense, the Oilers were able to capture a victory from the Tech Tigers, later the State Champs. Whiting led at the half 13 — 9. Page seventyfour Keeping the lead throughout the second half, the Lake Fronters trapped the Tigers 24—16. The last two victories left our boys a little more confident, but this confidence turned to grief as the Oilers took it on the chin from Valparaiso, 42 — 34. Coach Adams ' crew led at the end of the third quarter but a Viking basket barrage finished the Oilers in the final frame. Whiting traveled to Gary next to meet Horace Mann, considered one of the class- iest ball handling teams in the conference. The Horseman lived up to their reputa- tion as they trounced the Green and White, 30—21. Kekich kept the Oilers in the game, scoring 10 points. Well, the New Year didn ' t look any too promising as Froebel ' s fast stepping Blue Devils, leading the conference with 7 victories and 0 defeats, threw havoc into the Oilers by swishing the nets from all angles to grab a 42 — 24 victory. After six years of shellacking at the hands of the Hammond Wildcats, the Oilers finally turned the trick and spilled the Purple, 37 — 30. Parker was high man with 12 points while Keckich and Richards each netted eight. Typical of the Clark — Whiting battle was the Senator — Oiler squabble. With 30 seconds to go Falda sank a fielder, putting the Oilers behind by only one bucket. The chances looked good for a tie but the hand of the clock showed that things were all over. Washington 24 Whiting 22. Traveling to Fort Wayne, the Oilers were drubbed by Central High, 58 — 35. The Green and White were unable to cope with the strong Central offense and trailed throughout the game. The Valparaiso Vikings hoping to accomplish their second triumph of the season over the Oilers, found that it wasn ' t as easy as they thought. Led by Parker ' s 26 points, the Oilers had no dificulty in succumbing the Vikings, 47 — 30. Roosevelt looked toward the Oilers for their first conference victory. But Coach Adams ' machine showed no mercy as it trampled the Riders 34 — 24. The Oilers string of victories lengthened as they added the North ludson Blue lays to their list. The Oilerites hit from all angles, winning 48 — 33. Page seventyfive Grrrrr! It ' s those Cats again. It was a little tougher this time but the Oilers came through as they subdued Hammond High, 29 — 26. Well it looks as though that Hammond jinx is really broken now. After having won the last four games, the Oilers were stopped momentarily by a scrappy G. R. C. team 42 — 40. The lead changed hands often throughout the con- test; finally with seconds to go and the score tied 40 — 40, Gayle, Pioneer forward, came up with a bucket to clinch the game for Clark. Revenge is sweet! This time the Oilers took it out on Horace Mann who had whipped ihe Green and White in their previous game and the final report of the gun found them out on top, 42 — 26. The Oilers continued their winning ways as they rolled over Washington, 40 — 30. This victory established Whiting as a possible threat in the Hammond Sectional. It was the worst defeat the Senators had suffered on their home floor all season. The hapless Roosevelt Rough Riders turned out to be victims of a Whiting Blitz- kreig as the Oiler artillery got into action and bombarded the Riders, 54 — 33. Oliver took command of the Oiler forces with 20 points. The Oilers rang down the curtain on the regular basketball season by defeat- ing Emerson, 46 to 33. This marked the forth straight victory for the Green and White and the eighth win out of the last nine games. As tournament time approached the sports scribes began to favor Whiting and Washington as the two teams that would reach the finals. The Oilers were con- ceded a slight edge over Washington because of their terrific play at the close of the regular season. Although the Oilers were pitched against lower bracket teams in the first three games, they couldn ' t afford to relax. For their first tourney game Whiting drew Calumet Township, small but explos- ive. The Townshippers were beaten by the Green and White but not decisively. Whiting held the upper hand at the half, 36 — 28, and the final gun found the Oilers leading, 45 — 37. In their semi-final tilt Whiting took the Edison Eagles, 41 — 34. Again the Oilers had no pushover. The Green and White were heckled all the way but managed to eke out a victory. The Oilers were able to breathe easier in the quarter finals. Wirt High served as the opposition for the Adamsmen in this game. Keeping well ahead of their op- ponents, the Oilers sailed through easily to win, 63 — 34. Parker set a new high in tournament scoring by bagging 26 points. Sports scribes were right when they predicted that Whiting would reach the finals, but they were wrong about their predictions that Washington would be the Oilers ' opponents. Tech was the team that Whiting had to beat in t he finals in order to win the Tourney. Whiting hadn ' t won a tournament since 1924. Both teams played equal ball in the first quarter. At the half Hammond Tech was leading, 23 — 20. The third quarter found them still leading, 29 — 25. If the Oilers were going to do anything about the situation it would have to be done fast. Whiting ' s hopes vanished as Tech kept the lead throughout the final period, finally ending up with a 40—35 win, and they went on to win the championship of Indiana. INDIVIDUAL SCORING RECORD 1. D.

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. Now over 16,000,000 homes in our nation use Gas for cooking, home heating, water heating or refrigeration. Why? Simply because Gas is low in price, con- venient, dependable.
