MISS EMILY WHITTON CLASS ADVISOR CLASS OF 44 In the fall of 1940, we started our high school days as green freshmen in Whiting High School. Under the direction of Miss Ane Marie Petersen we elected Blackie Manich, president; Mary Linko, vice president; Ruby Ascraft, secretary; and Paul Stevenson, treas- urer. The two most outstanding events of our freshman year were our freshman party, The Snow Man and our own freshman prom. We came back to school the next fall as sophomores with Miss Emily Whitton as our class advisor. We elected Ray Brozovich, president; Mary Linko, vice president; Ruby Ashcraft, secretary and George Oliver, treasurer. Then came our junior year with the junior prom, which was called the Moonlight Mood and the junior-senior picnic as the most important events of the year. The election of our junior officers, which was held in the spring of our sophomore year, was a new pro- ject, of the Student Council. We elected Mary Linko, president; Ben Kalapach, vice presi- dent; Tom Hull, secretary; and Art Demeter, treasurer. At last, came our senior year which was led by Walter Jakubovie, president; Gene lustak, vice president; Virginia Huenger, secretary; and Godfrey Klacik, treasurer. After the first semester Walter Jakubovie left for college and Gene Justak then became president. The senior play, senior dance and party, the junior prom, Bum's Day, Class Night and fin- ally Commencement were the main functions of our senior year. This history of the class of '44 is but a pleasant memory each one of us shall keep of our high school days in Whiting High School. To Miss Whitton, who so patiently guided us throughout our high school days, we give our hearty thanks. 9
