But in the memories of these former book learners will linger , a fond or otherwise remembrance of the many hours spent in the halls of learning trying to secure an education in the easiest possible way. For example, how can one forget the hard work and intense concentration it took the average student to dodge daily assignments and to miss tests, only to be rewarded by fatal symbols of various degrees and colors issued on a small yellow card the first Tuesday after the first Monday of every quarter. This was, perhaps, the most tragic side of school life except book reports, and the fact that it was necessary to awake from a deep slumber by 8:23 in order to arrive at school before the tardy bell rang at 8:30. Mountie red gets its man,” will be remembered as the slogan that probably inspired (Continued on adjoining page) the wearing of so much red in those early forties. Corduroy skirts, that beat all previous records for shortness, kneesocks, sad-dle shoes, and long sleeved-blouses held sway in the wardrobe of every fashionable school girl. The masculine attire consisted mainly of bright, plaid shirts, tweed pants, and flashy socks. Rarely was a tie to be found except on important occasions, such as Senior pictures when every boy was decked out in his Sunday best. These same Seniors will fondly remember trying moments in their class room life, such as hurrying to put (continued on page 30 and 31) Seniors 'I f 17 fJroni Z reslman hood On a warm September morning in 1937 a class of green freshmen were indentured for careers in the broad acres of Whiting High School. Their first task was the election of class officers. Paul Hric was chosen as president; William Parsanko, vice-president; Charles McCarthy, secretary and Beverly Eidson, treasurer. Diversion was had in the form of the Apple lam and the Freshmen Prom. As Sophomores, we moved into new quarters—the Senior High School. We elected Donald Parker as class president; Charles Sanders, vice-president; Florence Gima, secretary and Lorraine Kaminsky, treasurer. Miss Laura Linden was our choice for overseer. The main social activity was the Sophomore Party. Bernard Poracky was elected president of the Junior Class. Joe Jancosek, vice-president; Rose Dudas, secretary and Paul Demkovich, treasurer. The big moment of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom at which we shone appropriately to the theme Stardust. At the Junior-Senior picnic we presented a motley sort of group as we stood in line to get our ration of hotdogs. In our last year of servitude, James Homco was voted president; Eugenia Zehme, vice-president; Michael Mihalo, secretary; and Paul Demkovich, treasurer. As a finale we strutted our stuff at the Junior-Senior Prom and approached commencement night with a feeling of sadness at saying good by to good old Whiting High. We appreciate the wholesome and kindly interest shown to us by Miss Linden, the class adviser.

It is hard to prophesy whether in the future women will be attired in ankle-length skirts with hoops, or in mannish shirts and trousers, but it is best to warn you that women's styles change faster than the expressions on a hypocrite's face. Now that silk is being made from coal, a frequent of mothers will probably be, If you are cold, dearie, put on a little more coal. But let us see what some of these graduates will be doing in the next few years. As these are troubled times most likely a large portion of the boys will be gone with the draft. It is to be expected that the old maids —commonly referred to as career women—will not be pleased with this, but perhaps the boys will prefer this as they would rather battle with guns than with rolling pins. (continued on adjoining page) By then the future Florence Nightingales of this class will have discovered, after extensive research, that there are three kinds of nurses— those that work for the patient, those that work the patient, and those that don't work. Then the little wife, formerly of Brown's bargain basement, may be found that resolved not to have more than three children because she read in a world almanac that every fourth child born is a Chinaman. Also among the ranks of these graduated seniors are the future doctors, law makers, teachers, laborers, secretaries, housewifes, and dogcatch-ers of our nation. The youth of today are the citizens of tomorrow, and in later years we are sure that there will be many of these graduates to whom we will point with pride and say, I knew him when he went to Whiting High. an J giftedQalft £ urci A Enchanting as nightingales and as gay as skylarks are these feminine songbirds.

Theirs is the life that is always on the go—regulating traffic at street crossings. Adding to the gallantry of the work is the most appealing phase, standing in the rain or when it's zero weather. Being always on the alert, his life is filled with such thrilling duties as: 1.) making the way clear for the tardy express as it's puffing 'round the bend at 8:28 in the morning, 2.) quietly escorting dazed and dreamy lovesick girls and boys across the street, and 3.) courageously retrieving hats that are blown off professors' heads.

A new teacher, new activities, but the same old gym, is what greeted the members of G. A. C. when they came to school in the fall. Girls participating in the G. A. C. are not out to become future leaders in the world of sports, but, because it does promote ideals of wholesome living along with providing healthful recreation, they want to belong to this club. To wear a W on their sweater, and emblem, or a pin is what urges these girls on. Every season that is completed allows a girl to have 100 points which entitles her to an emblem; 500 points qualify her for a pin, 1,300 for a W and 2,500 for a cup. This system was introduced this year by Miss Alice Jenkins, the new gym instructor and G. A. C. sponsor. Not only do the sports interest them but, like all other girls, the social side cf the club is inviting. They started the season with a dance, The Touchdown Swing, which was a big success, and later a tea and banquet were held. Because the club is so popular, three invitations were held to accommodate the large number of members. The club has functioned well under the leadership of capable officers. Mary Chovan was president; Katherine Kovachic, vice-president; Janeace Campbell, secretary-treasurer, and Marilyn Dunsing as social chairman. The club has under its scope almost every form of athletics for girls. A manager is in charge of each sport; Charlotte Hansen, bowling; Helen Bodie, soccer; Margaret Hanchar, outdoor recreation (bicycle, hiking, tennis, roller skating, horseback riding, and ice skating). Evelyn Hussey, basketball; Dolores Gorman, volleyball; Meta Shreve, indoor recreation (table tennis, badminton, deck tennis, shuffle board, and swimming); baseball. KJCitneA Page Sixty ROW I: S.

Page Sixty-two D,lei, OkJf-O eaire What goes on behind the scenes is known and done by this ambitious group called the Theatre Board which does every form of handiwork behind the stage making stage settings for plays and for the assemblies. A new system has been established by which the department was divided into four groups: Technicians, Thespians, Artists, Budgiteers, and Entertaineers. Students may register in one or more departments but are free to help in any other department. Possibly in the future these students will be technicians of the great plays which will be produced on Broadway in the years to come. The group meets on Fridays twice a month. They are under the direction cf Mr. K. W. Turner. Officers for the year were: Delano Kuhn, president; Bob Eschenbach, vice-president; Eleanor Kaminsky, business manager; James Vogel, secretary. (Llristmcid Siein Pag© Sixty-three The disappearance of the emeralds had everyone guessing, even the audience, when Shub- bery Hill was presented by an All-School cast. It proved to be an entertaining play with mystery surrounding it, humor enveloping it. Joshua took people by storm with his many quotations from the Bible.

The invitation included schools from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, Kentucky and Missouri. Directors enroute for vacations were also invited. It was the first High School Festival to be devoted exclusively to the problems of producing classics and costumed plays. Every school represented either by students or by a director made some kind of contribution to the festival. Some schools brought plays. The plays entered were costume plays taken from classics or from the more recently written dramatizations. Part of the play session was devoted to the production of The Imaginary Invalid (N. P. R. C. Edition) which was performed by three different schools each school giving their interpretation of one act cf the play. Other schools brought costumes for the costume parade which were modeled at local stores. Models, posters, scrapbooks, stage and costume designs, and photographic reproductions completed the festival. Also featured in the Festival Program was an informal Around-the-Table discussion with the publishers and other guest authorities, a luncheon for directors and publishers, demonstrations and conference of publishers, a Festival Banquet and a costume parade of period costumes. The performance of Zarguata by an all school cast of Whiting High School students concluded the day's program. This was a new translation of the famous Spanish comedy. Page Sixty-five mmm R. P.

J- arcule oj jf icjsLin aSierS Three returning lettermen, Stribiak, Justak, and Sanders, and a small contingent of the prospects faced Coach Ray Gallivan as material for his 1940 squad on the first day of practice. Soon, however, under his guiding hand, this question mark team began to take shape as a dangerous contender for conference supremacy. The Oiler grid machine opened their season by taking their first four games but bogged down at mid-season but nevertheless, their ability was notable even in defeat. Peter Kovachic assumed the post of line coach following the transfer of Coach Arvo Antilla to the helm of the G. R. C. Pioneers. Mt. Carmel, Chicago co-champs, and always a dangerous foe, fell before the Oilers in their season opener, 14 to 13. A thirty-five yard pass from Nyland to Stribiak highlighted the Whiting attack with the decisive extra point booted by Nyland. When the dust settled over Gleason Field, Gary, the Oilers were on top of the Froebel Blue Devils, 19 to 0. Many of the team's rough spots had been ironed by this time and the green and white were beginning to hit their stride.

Roosevelt . G. R. C... There Here Here Here There The Roosevelt Rough Riders next stood before the gas house gang, but not for long. A 31 to 0 margin definitely tamed the Riders. A close and thrilling battle evolved from the Whiting-Emerson clash with a scoreless tie prevailing from most of the game. In the final quarter, however, the Oilers got their break when the Norse fumbled on their own four yard line. Demkovich then smashed over for the only touchdown of the game and Nyland converted giving the Oilers a 7 to 0 victory. Up to this point the Oilers were defending a goal unscored upon by a conference opponent. Whiting's first set back of the season was handed out by the powerful team of Fort Wayne North. The Oilers traveled down state only to be taken, 25 to 6. The Washington Senators, always bad news to Whiting, did it again, this time to the tune of 13 to 8. The green and white were held scoreless until the final period when a Senator's kick was blocked by Kalapach and resulted in a safety. With scant minutes to go, Coach Gallivan sent in his second team which promptly dazed the invaders with a whirl-wind attack which wound up when Linko cracked over for a touchdown. Hammond High next confronted the Oilers and despite the high predictions made in favor of the Wildcats, the Gallivan gang held them to a six to six decision. Bernie Ruman tallied for Whiting on a spectacular 100 yard intercepted pass run, it happens only once in a lifetime. The Lew Wallace Hornets, tied for the conference first berth with Hammond nosed out the Oilers 2 to 0, on the Whiting home field. A blocked punt in the last three minutes of the game broke up the deadlock in favor of the Hornets. After seven straight years wearing the laurels, this has to happen, George Rogers Clark 7, Whiting 6. A deadly passing attack by the Pioneers threatened to roll over Whiting several times but the Oiler defense held,—for all but one fifteen yard touchdown pass. Linko went over for the Oilers in the final quarter but the all important conversion was run and lost. All-star teams, polled and sponsored by several newspapers, again this year honored many Oiler gridders. The Gary Post-Tribune named John Stribiak, end, and Jimmy Demkovich, full back, to first string positions on their all-conference team. Don Parker, end, and Charles Sanders, tackle, were voted berths on the second squad and Klacik, Justak, Judnick, Pieters, Resetar, Kalapach, Hruskocy, Homco, and Ruman were given honorable mention. Stribiak was also named by Heze Clark of the Indianapolis Star to first team end of that team and Charles Sanders was given honorable mention. The football mental attitude trophy was awarded to James Homco and the most valuable player in the Whiting-Clark game was awarded to John Stribiak. Whiting Opponents A B A B 14 Mt.

The Christmas Holiday tournament at East Chicago gave the Oilers a chance to open up and to finish off the year in first class style. They defeated Roosevelt 40 to 23 in the first session without much trouble. In the finals, Hammond High, the second place conference toughies, stood before the Oilers, but not for long. The Adamsmen turned on the heat and emerged victorious, 34 to 25. The first game of the new year brought a breeze-through for the Oiler City five with an easy win over Gage Park of Chicago, 55-10. The Froebel Blue Devils next hit the Oilers for a 42 to 28 win. Revenge for their holiday tourney defeat was sweet for the Hammond High Wildcats and they took the Oilers, 27 to 23. The Washington Senators continued to dog the ill-lucked Oiler Crew. This time they went under a 35 to 21 defeat. The green and white squad traveled to Ft. Wayne but the Central high sent them home on the short end of a 39 to 28 score. The breaking up of the half season slump came for Whiting when they defeated Valparaiso in their return game, 37 to 20. A 43 to 20 rout of the Roosevelt Rough Riders followed next in the Oiler schedule and their steam roller attack began to cause comment in the local cage circles. The thrill game of the season evolved from the second Hammond clash with the Oilers administering a 32 to 30 defeat to the cats. A sleeper basket in the final half minute of game time by Parker put the hard pressed Oilers under the wire. The Oilers nosed out the Roosevelt Rider 37 to 36 in another last minute thriller. The Oilers trailed at the third quarter but a rally topped off by a basket by Homco tied up the game in the final minutes. The winning point was then dropped in by Homco. Playing heads-up ball the green and white squad trounced the Emerson in the season final, 53 to 31. In the sectional tournament, the Oilers were dropped in the first round of play by Froebel, 39 to 22. The Blue Devils then went on to take the sectional, the Gary regional, Hammond quarter-finals, but were dropped in the State semi-finals by Madison. Twelve wins against ten defeats was the total result of the 1940-41 Oiler cage season which also included various tournament play. Outstanding display of hardwood ability for the green and white was their impressive Holiday Tourney victory which came in the midst of a string of defeats. It was there that the Oilers gave a preview of the brand of basketball which they began to turn out two weeks later when they launched their victory run with a string of eight wins out of nine, climaxing the season. Pag© Seventy-three The Oilers' total scoring for the season ranked with that of the teams in first and second places throughout the year despite their standing in the conference. Slated to return next year are Zahari, Lanigan Hruby, Stecy and Ruman. New in the athletic department was the organization of an intramural basketball league by Coach Gallivan. The chance to play supervised ball was welcomed by many boys who did not have the ability or the time to play on school teams. Entered were sixteen teams divided into two leagues. At the close of the nine week season a tournament was conducted in each league with the winners playing off for the championship. The Java Jives won the A league competition and the Ramblers led the B league and in the final deciding game the Java Jives were victorious, 35 to 31. Many of the season's clashes were typical of the close fighting games which are recognized as typical of the Oilers. It will be noted that in the early season games, the Green and White squad, with somewhat of an accent on the former, were defeated by much narrower margins. Later on in the season when they hit their stride their victories were usually by wide margins. The final winning baskets of the first Clark game were dropped in by Bramer and Pavlo while in the tight second Hammond game Parker accounted for the deciding points. The late season Roosevelt game was iced by Homco who tied and won the tilt on a free throw and basket. Emil Klacik was voted honorary captain of the 1940-41 basketball team and Mike Pavlo was awarded the mental attitude trophy. At the close of the basketball season James Homco was voted by the Athletic Board to receive a white W sweater. This award is emblematic of the winning of six letters and being recognized worthy of the honor. The selection is based on general sporstmanship and mental attitude throughout the seasons. Oiler cagers who will be lost to the squad through graduation are Homco, Sharp, Parker, Bramer, Pavlo, and Klacik.

Why Bum's Day, of course. JUNE 6—Mere words cannot express, cannot describe, cannot relate, what should be justly expressed, described and related about this Prom. JUNE 9—The first of our last farewell appearances is here, Class Night. We try to be happy, to be gay but tears dim our eyes. A lump appears in many a throat—dear old Whiting, how will you endure without us, the class of 1941? JUNE 11—It's here, Commencement, that which we have looked forward to for four long years. Would that those four years have had been a wee bit longer.
