UNITED STATES SAVING 1H) BUY A Xtowa. toX Often on passing room 108, the aroma of one of Granny's old fashion recipes reaches your nostrils, or then again, it may be the odor of some concoction thought up by Lucy Ellen. They came, they fought, but they learned. Difficult was this task of learning to operate such complicated mechanisms as the dictaphone, adding and calculating machines. In future years, however, when you read that so and so has been promoted to chief office boy of the You Make It, We Take IT Firm, you will remember the squirming and prostration he endured while wading through the deep mysteries of 1 plus 1 equal 2—or does it? Bright! New! and Shiny! These words well describe our new kitchens. Here was another opportunity for us who were Learning to Live to take a step forward whether it be Toll House cookies oi dinner for eight. Yes, indeed, these boys most certainly are living to learn. They are members of defense classes which are conducted under the supervision of W. W. Buerckholtz and D. C. Chezem. Here they learn to operate laths, drill-presses, milling machines, shapers, and tool grinders, many of which served the same purpose in the first World War. Some day these boys will be machinists, good machinists who will be able to take their places in the industrial world. On a certain day in February a strange mammal might have been seen journeying to the tourney at East Chicago. If one looked more closely, he might see that it was actually one small car with assorted arms, legs, and heads hanging out in various places. From said heads came shouts of laughter, scraps of songs, andjJ'yoohoos' to pretty girls. Meanwhile the arms and legs flapped grotesquely in the wind. The obliging driver was, of course, one Dick Acker, who has earned an enviable reputation as being a professional chaffeur. Learning to Live?? Most of us would think this a crude way of retaining life, and by far not the easiest, but these boys have taken from the game the qualities of good sportsmanship and health that will aid them in Learning to Live. After many an onslaught, often we were in doubt as to whether we'd see our pigskin playboys again. However, they returned to give their all that the green and white banner would reign victoriously over all —well, almost all. Another way to help us socially in Living to Learn was our after-school teas. Cheese covered crackers, cookies, and tea (cocoa) were neatly arranged on the table. The most important of these teas were on Christmas and Mother's Day. Often we entertained girls from our neighing schools and were in turn invited to their parties. Although these friendly get-togethers were primarily for a social reason, they taught us the way to a better living.

Purceil An unusual hustle and bustle, har-assed-looking seniors, the clatter of typewriters, the banging of doors, full waste-paper baskets, and a conglomeration of papers and pictures were only a few of the things which showed that work on the Reflector was under way. Our theme this year was Living t£r Learn and Learning to Live and this we tried to illustrate through informal pictures of the students. We hope that our yearbook will help recapture the joys of school activities for our readers. WHITING HIGH SCHOOL MAIN ENTRANCE 9 H Me4MJ0SUGvHl Michael J. Hannon, lale President of the Board of Education, was unanimously elected to membership on the board by the City Council in August, 1936. He succeeded Dr. O. E. Bransky, who had served the school city for a period of nine years. Mr. Hannon was president of the board during the school year of 1938-1939 and was serving his second term as president this year at the time of his death. All of the time that he was a member of the board he advocated a professional educational policy, and he always performed his duties in a professional manner. He was interested in all phases of school work. From the time he was elected to the board, he studied the needs of the schools, especially those that concerned the welfare of the students. Since the beginning of Mr. Hannon's second term, the Board of Education and citizens of Whiting worked out a building plan for the improvement of the City Schools. This improvement was known as the Three Point Building Program. Although this program, designed for the improvement of the Whiting City Schools, has been delayed, Mr. Hannon had a very large part in its development. We, the students of the Whiting Schools, wish to pay tribute to Mr. Hannon and express our appreciation for his interest in our welfare. Superintendent W. W. Borden had this to say of Mr. Hannon: He always took a very MR. MICHAEL J. HANNON active interest in his work as a member of the Board of Education. In all my experience as a superintendent of schools, I have never worked with any man as a member of the Board of Education who devoted his time and energy to his duty more conscientiously and courageously than did Mr. Hannon. He was honest in all his dealings and was a man of excellent judgment in making decisions. He was the kind of man who possessed the qualifications necessary for a member of any Board of Education. li AcHhu i MR. CARL C. MADDEN President MR. ANDREW S. KOVACIK Treasurer MR. PHILLIP L.

GLENTZER GEORGE BURMAN The seniors of Whiting High took the task of Learning to Live very seriously. They soon shed their goggles and grammars and donned their most sophisticated garb, for the Senior Dance, the Prom and Commencement were the highlights in the life of every student who had traveled that long four-year road to Senior-dom. Our fair damsels and young gi-gilos tripped the light fantastic at many a jam session but the Prom and the Senior Dance proved that these jitterbugs could be the most dignified of dancers. Of course, one day in the life of each senior was set aside to show how undignified he could be. A larger conglomeration of what the best dressed men and women of 1900 wore and what the styles will be in 1950 could nowhere be found. The memory that lingered perhaps the longest, however, was that of graduation exercises—Commencement. Amid the smiles and tears of their fellow classmates mixed with the sorrow of leaving Whiting High, they received their diplomas and were sent out into a world of turmoil. Never will they forget these joyous moments; the great events in the life of every senior—Class of '42. Section, ClaAA, 1942. Sj nixVi GMxAA, C)sjjjfice i'i CLASS HISTORY September 1938 was four years ago; yet it seems just a few months have passed since we first crossed the portal of Whiting High School to take a step toward higher education. Full of awe and wonder we democratically voted for our first officers. Bernard Ruman was our president; Dolores Lynch, vice-president; Evelyn McKinley, secretary; Paul Kozacik, treasurer. Not to be outdone by the seniors we had our very own prom on May 27, 1939. Moving forward we crossed the bridge and became sophomores and a part of the senior high. George Kochis was our new president; Charles Lani-gan, vice-president; Dolores Lynch, secretary; George Herochik, treasurer. Miss Ruth Nelson was appointed to help and guide us for our high school days. In mid-winter we had our only social affair, the sophomore party. With the official title of juniors our third year began with great promise. The selection of our class rings, the Junior-Senior Picnic and, the event of events, the prom made a full enjoyable year. Robert Culp served as our president; Betty Keckich, vice-president; Barbara Davis, secretary; Milton Oberlander, treasurer. With the long and awaited end of our road in view, we began our senior year. We chose George Kochis to lead us in this year of years. Evelyn McKinley was our vice-president; Frank Miller, secretary; and John Stecy, treasurer. As the prom, class night, and finally commencement passed by we left our happy days at Whiting High behind and went out into the world, better prepared by having had a chance of Living to Learn, and Learning to Live.

(}oVi djuwL and' £ipL (RsiaAinq The duties of this department are as follows: first, to conduct and administer periodic hearing tests of all school children once a year; second, to teach lip reading to those children whose hearing is impaired; and third, to give aid to those children whose speech is defective. The hearing tests are administered with approved scientific instruments called audiometers. The Whiting schools have two such instruments; one is used for screening purposes, and the other is used for individual examinations. Wherever, as a result of any tests so made, it is made to appear that the hearing of any child or children so tested, is impaired, remedial measures and correctional devices are provided. The speech defective children were discovered by means of a school-wide survey. This survey was conducted by means of individual interviews with all children. Each child was given a rating on his speech performance and those found with defective speech were enrolled in speech correction classes. N. A. Wickman is the instructor in this work. J'CfL (R qulaA, CWsindanoL The attendance department of the Whiting Schools, of which Director T. F. Gustafson is in charge, has jurisdiction primarily, as its name suggests, over records and regularity of pupil attendance in school. The attendance office is notified of all absences and investigates those which are of more than brief duration. Birth records, school census records, and employment certificate records are kept by the attendance department. Hence, if a young person desires to secure a permit to accept employment, even though he is out of school, he applies to the department of a 11 e n d a n ce where his records of age and education are on file or are secured, and where his permit is issued. An extra-curricular activity of Mr. Gustafson is the chairmanship of the Whiting Junior Red Cross. 34 Aside from their regular course of studies, the students of Whiting High had many forms of diversion. During the Christmas season thoughts turned to Santa Claus and vacation. Of course, there were always a few individuals who would dilly-dally at their lockers and then race up the steps like a house afire trying to beat the bell. Naturally, this was an art done only by a majority of the students. For those who couldn't beat the bell, picture may be referred to. A great opportunity was offered to those who had not yet learned the art of dancing. The Student Council provided the Yolandas and the music, the great W. H. S. Trio, and soon produced the Velozs. Another diverting pastime was found in the transformation of a typical student to a Macbeth. 35 Qiuubvl ROW I: Andy Haluska, Anna Golub, James Cigler, Loretta Geary, Bernard Bazarko, Josephine Alben, William Bednar, Sylvia Bayda.

The Class of '43, or the Junior class, was 190 in number and idea—the prom. Under the leadership of Robert Demeter and the able direction of Miss Meta Wilhelm this event of their young lifetime was held on May 29. Also to them goes their share of the credit for devouring enough weinies to keep an army moving and making the Junior-Senior picnic a big success. The Sophomore class moved into new quarters this year, the Senior High. After learning just which was the geometry room and which was the history room they settled down like all the rest of us—to have a good time. As customary, they had only one social event and that was the Sophomore party. Miss Emily Whitton was sponsor of this class. And last, but hardly least, because they outnumbered all the other classes, was the Freshman class. Active participation in the junior high play and the Pep Club kept these youngsters busy. They also had a prom and with the assistance and help of their sponsor, Miss Ane Marie Petersen, it was an event to be long remembered. 39 J'JUL hmSLtL ROW TOP I: Rollie Barans, Walter Dudas, Dorothy Dijak, Charles Harbin, Dolores Hussey, Bernard Kusb9l, Sophie Chovan, hn Babincaak.

To these future senators and state representatives is given the task of governing the student body. The object of the student council is to promote better citizenship among the students and to maintain order in the school room and at social gatherings. This year the student council broadened its scope and offered free dance instructions to those who had not yet mastered the art. The council consists of class representatives and representatives of the home rooms, who meet with the principal, Mr. L. C. Grubb, to discuss matters vital to the welfare of the school. James Buckley was elected president; Raymond Justak, vice-president; Betty Jane Wine, secretary; and Bernard Ruman, treasurer. ROW 1; Herbert Wisch, Tom Hull, Robert Demeter.

Aside from being schooled in manners for table, correct dress, and social poise, this group of ferns also finds time to criticize the appearance and attitude in general of the opposite sex. Among the number of interesting activities for this year was the Girls' Club Conference which was held in Whiting. The purpose of the conference was to afford an opportunity for the girls of nearby schools to become more friendly and discuss the social problems of a high school girl. Betty Garey presided over the conference as president and Dolores Lynch, secretary. The Girls' Club has proven to be advantageous under the sponsorship of Miss Margaret E. Canine. Officers for the first semester were Barbara Davis, president; Elizabeth Vrabely, vice-president; Mary Linko, secretary; Dorothy Vidovich, treasurer.

The organization aids the school by supplying stage scenery, lighting, makeup, and costumes for school plays and assemblies. An important event for the Theatre Board members this year was the Second Annual Costume Play Festival on April 24 and 25. Various programs were planned for the schools participating. The performance of The Imaginary Invalid and Gringoire, the Ballad-Monger by Whiting High school students concluded the day's program. The activities of the Theatre Board is due largely to the Advisory Council. The council is divided into three sections, namely; artists and technicians, managed by Robert Springer; thespians and budgeteers, managed by Alfred Pakan; and the entertainment bureau, managed by Charles Mills. This year The Players' Workshop presented awards to the students in the drama department. A certain number of points was required in order to receive an award. The awards were a shield mask, monogram W, a white sweater, and a plain W.

The clicking of needles and knit one, purl two were the sounds and chants heard coming from these girls. An ambitious looking group they were too, with an occasional Oh, I dropped a stitch. The finished products proved to have a resemblance to sweaters and socks. (This made the girls happy.) Ranging from size 4 to 40 with colors from fuschia to khaki, these projects provided the girls with something for their fingers to do while they listened to some of the hottest gossip. For more active entertainment there were all the sports provided by the Girls' Athletic Club. The most popular of the indoor sports were shuffle-board, ping-pong, and volleyball. Knowledge of the fundamentals of these popular games will be valuable to these girls in years to come. Roller skating and bicycling proved to be the favorites after school or early fall afternoons. ... us as Pav your taxes and beat the Axis” became a popular saying, so did Uncle Sam wants you. This famous poster drew the attention of many of our eligible young men. It caused thoughtful pondering for most of them. Am I old enough,” or Shall I join the army, navy or the marines?” As the end of the school year drew to a close, this became a pertinent question and many of the boys of the Class of ’42 ventured to the recruiting offices. After entrance into the various forces of the United States, they put into practice some of the points of cooperation and team work they had gained from sports they had taken part in in school. All the effort and cooperation of every player was needed to gain enough points to come out in the conference. Working together, plays were set up so that the ball went through the basket. A victory at the swimming meet or on the baseball field was important, but so was the feeling of cooperation between the boys. These were just a few of the qualities that made our boys fine soldiers and sailors with the courage and spirit to defend our great country. foacksidu PETER I. KOVACHIC , Assistant Football dihkJtic.

Qlw hlsiad iA, Nancy Johnson Gloria Huenger Joyce Wargo Harry Gurevitz Three pretty lassies and a lively lad are our cheerleaders, as you can see in this picture. Nancy, Joyce, and Gloria first became our cheerleaders five years ago and Harry joined them a year later. Shortly after this they dared deviate from the set standards on which all yells had formerly been based. Taking their cue from the current dance trends, they set the intricate rhythms to clever lyrics and yell tempo. The result was the birth of rhythm-nasties. This clever idea attracted the attention of other schools and our dazzled rivals immediately began to imitate it. Before long all our neighbors had developed their own versions of this revolutionary idea. However, our yellleading staff was still the best in the region, and soon the girls had developed a new routine. They set clever, snappy words to the tunes of popular songs which everyone knew. These unusual and smart angles to yell-leading brought wide-spread attention to them and they were accredited with being the outstanding yell group of the season. Finally, in November of 1941, Life Magazine assigned a photographer to picture the dancing cheerleaders of Whiting and tell the nation the story of their sparkling routines. At their farewell performance in February, 1942, they played before a full house at the basketball tourney and were unanimously acclaimed as the region's outstanding cheerleaders. Since they have served their alma mater for five long and strenuous years, and although they have been acclaimed nationally and locally, we wish to extend to them our appreciation and thanks for their service and loyalty. 71 ® 7 6G S3 33, 4_ 5 a51 -7!

Justak, and B. Ruman; seven substitute lettermen, R. Jones, G. Herochik, E. Danko, G. Kochis, S. Habzansky, C. Kovach, and J. Zahari; and a small contingent of green prospects were Coach Ray Gallivan's material for the '41 Football Season. This hard working crew under the guiding hand of the Coach emerged at the finish of the season as one of the finest teams in the state as can be seen by this summary of the season's schedule. The Oilers opened their grid season by defeating Argo of Illinois 52-7. The much heavier Argonauts didn't have a chance against the powerful drives of Ruman, Danko, Manich and Herochik. In this opener the Oilers displayed a brand of football which they maintained throughout the year. The Green and Whites won their first conference game the following week by defeating a favored Horace Mann squad 6-0. Bernie Ruman scored the lone touchdown of the game on a 39 yard sprint in the second session. Functioning perfectly, the Whiting juggernaut triumphed over Reitz Memorial of Evansville 39-0. Whiting scored in the first three minutes of play and from then on it was easy going. Lew Wallace continued its winning streak by nosing out an 8-6 victory over an anxious Whiting crew. The Hornets drew first blood when they caught an Oiler behind the goal after a bad toss from center. Early in the third quarter the Hornets scored again and things began to look bad for Whiting. Mr. Ruman, however, put us right back in the game when he intercepted a pass and outran the Wallace defense for 75 yards. The conversion was missed and the score stood 8-6. The oilers threatened another score in the last few minutes of play with a powerful aerial attack which netted them 60 yards, but an interception finally crushed their hopes as the final gun sounded. Lew Wallace went undefeated for the season to receive the N1HSC Crown and the State Championship. After a week's rest, Whiting walked all over Washington, their known jinx team, on the Senators' Field. The Oilers, taking little notice of the driving rain which had already blanketed the Field, showed a formidable passing attack that completely buffaloed the East Chicago eleven. The Gallivcmites scored once in each period and made two conversions for a total of 26 points, while the Senators were held scoreless.

This win placed the Oilers second in the conference race. Whiting's home coming game played with Hammond ended in disaster for the Oilers. Before an estimated crowd of 4,000 the Wildcat's eeked through with a victory similar to that dealt to us by Lew Wallace a few weeks before. Hammond scored first when they kicked to Whiting's 3-yard line and Zahari, who went back to punt, received a low center, and attempted to run, but was stopped behind the goal for two points. Whiting soon went into the lead, however, when both Vanek and Ha-zansky blocked a kick and recovered on the 15 yard line. Ruman scored on the very next play and also accounted for the extra point. Hammond finally scored again in the closing stages of the game after having failed to do so for three plays from the 3-yard line. The conversion was missed and the game ended 8-7 with Hammond as the victor. The Oilers, avenging last year's 7-6 upset, put the Pioneers right back in their places by dealing them a 19 0 defeat. Displaying some flashy running and punting. Whiting was in serious trouble only once. Ruman started things rolling in the opening quarter when he took Kovach s short pass and ran for the first touchdown. The feature touchdown of the game came early in the fourth quarter when Kovach broke through right tackle and galloped 58 yards for the second score. Ruman's conversion was good and the Oilers led 13-0. Danko, not to be outdone, added 6 more points in the final session when he plunged over from the ten yard stripe. Ruman was chosen by his teammates as the most valuable player in this all important game. Whiting completed its football season by polishing off a tough Roosevelt eleven on the home field. Thanksgiving afternoon (NOV. 20). The Oiler's forward wall, breaking Zych and opening large holes in the Roosevelt line for the Whiting backs, was the real hero in this game. Kovach scored the first touchdown late in the second quarter when he spun across from the two yard line. Early in the third quarter Ruman climaxed a stirring march when he shook off four would be tacklers and went over standing up for the second score. The first try for the extra point was nullified by a 15-yard penalty against Whiting, after which Ruman calmly moved back to the 17 yard line to boot a placement which had to travel 35 yards to clear the cross bar as the final gun barked. Whiting completed its football season with six wins and two defeats. Five of the six wins resulted in shut-outs, four of which were conference games. The two defeats were at the hands of Lew Wallace ('41 State Champs) and Hammond High, who ran second in the conference race. Both games were lost because of safeties. The Oilers scored 26 touch-downs and made 12 conversions for a grand total of 168 points. Their opponents, on the other hand, scored as a whole; 3 touch-downs, 2 safeties and one placement for a sum of 23 points. Bemie Ruman, high scorer for the season, made 10 touchdowns and kicked 11 extra points for a grand total of 71 points. He also had a perfect record of scoring at least once in each game. JhiA.

Handicapped by inexperience, and lack of height, the Oilers had an up and down season. If not for their speed and fight, they would have truly been an unimportant underdog, but as it was they were always a constant threat to their foes. Two days before the laps opened fire on Pearl Harbor, the Oilers blasted away against the Hornets of Lew Wallace at their Gary gym. The team showed plenty of class in thumping the opponent 37-25 for their first triumph. Midkiff was high with 9 points and Buckley came next with 8. Whiting played host to Roosevelt the following Friday in their first home game of the season. The superior height of the Rough Riders proved to be more valuable than all the fight and speed of the Oilers because they went under the wire on the long end of a 47-27 score. Buckley was high for Whiting with 7 points. The next night a very tall Michigan City quintet, also took advantage of Whiting's handicap of lack of height and dished out a 35-29 defeat. Buckley and Zahari were high point men for Whiting, each bagging nine points. A last minute change in schedule brought Crown Point to the Whiting gym as the next opponent, or should we say victim because the Oilers dealt them a 28-27 defeat. The next night a luckless Oiler team dropped a tough one to the Tolleston Raiders in the Memorial auditorium. Buckley tied the score at 29-29 in the last few minutes of play but a Raider substitute found an opening and sank the deciding basket in the last 10 seconds. The final score was 31-29. Buckley took scoring honors with 9 points. The inexperienced Oilers really took it on the chin after the Christmas holidays from a well polished, and experienced Horace Mann club which was undefeated for its nine previous games. The Horsemen, favored to win by at least 10 points, did a little better and downed the Oilers, 40-18. A week later the Oilers again gained their spirit and confidence and whipped Valparaiso, 33-25, on the home floor. 75 dtahdwootL dOuw A. The following evening Whiting traveled t the Hammond Civic Center to tangle with the Tech Tigers, who had won their last seven games. The lead swapped hands right and left during the first half and the Oilers were rather hopeful of victory. Their spirits were dampened, however, when Buckley, who had already accounted for 14 points, was forced to leave the game on fouls at the end of the third quarter. The Tigers rallied in the final session to sneak through with a 37-31 victory. The Washington-Whiting tussle was a typical thriller from beginning to end, but the Senators pulled ahead in the last few minutes to win, 25-19. The Oilers had the game well in hand most of the time and should have won easily but they seemed to lose the range during the final session. The Whiting-Clark civil war proved as consistently thrilling as ever. The Oilers were ahead 24-23 as the third quarter ended, and the fourth session became the deciding factor. The Pioneers made only two baskets for four points but they held the Oilers to one free throw to eke through with a 27-25 victory. Lanigan was high with 9 points. The Oilers fought brilliantly but lost, 65-44, to an undefeated Ft. Wayne Central quintet, which was classed as one of the ten best teams in the state. The total of the two scores, 109 points, set a high score record for points made in one game for the season. The Froebel Blue Devils next hit the Oilers for a 47-32 win. Buckley and Midkiff were high point men, each collecting 8 points. The Oilers avenged their previous licking at the hands of Washington by whipping them, 40-33, in the Oiler gym. Whiting used its speed to outrace the Senators throughout the entire game. Buckley was high for Whiting with 10 points and Hruby came next with 8. Whiting next dropped a thriller to the Hammond High Wildcats on the home floor, 40-34, but they played a brand of basketball which put them on the danger list for the coming tourney. Buckley was high with 13 points. Roosevelt won their 13th victory when they defeated our much smaller Oilers, 41-33, at East Chicago. Zahari was high for Whiting with 8 points. Ciez, Lanigan and Zahari paced an Oiler attack which proved to be entirely too strong for the Clark Pioneers because they captured a 41-30 decision. The miniature gym was full to overflowing long before game time. 76 Whiting played the Emerson team next and were defeated, 36-34, even though they played heads-up basketball. The Tech Tigers narrowly evaded defeat when a last minute drive by the Oilers slashed a six point lead to one. Only the shot of the final gun halted the Green and White with a 30-29 defeat on their hands. Buckley took game scoring honors with 13 points. In the sectional tournament, the Oilers were dropped in the second round of play by Hammond Tech, 35-22, after having beaten Crown Point in the first round, 45-26.
