Today, as we prepare to go out into the world we are more serious-minded as we realize what responsibilities face us as tomorrow's citizens. Peace has come at last and with it many revolutionary developments brought about by science which have served to build a better world materially. It will be for us, the leaders of tomorrow, to build a better spiritual world with peace on earth and good will toward all men for all time. 6 7 For half a century young Americans have been passing through the portals of this proud building. These young men and women have gone forth to make their way in the world. With them has gone a small part of their dear old alma mater—spurring them on to greater achievements for the role they will play in the future of their community and country. With the latest revolutionary developments brought about by science, this preparation is now more important than ever. It is imperative that we, the citizens of tomorrow, learn to live peacefully in an atomic age. The teachers in our school have given us the necessary preparation and guidance along this path; now it is up to us to carry on... 8 Si The 1946 Reflector Staff, whic h is composed ol eighteen members, edited this book under the supervision and guidance of its sponsor. Miss Ane Marie Petersen. I heir work was not easy, but these outstanding students thrived on hard work, sleepless nights, and general turmoil—or did they? Beating deadlines, collecting advertisements and subscriptions, writing, typing, drawing and planning are only a few ol the problems they faced and mastered.

Not pictured.) enteral into the spirit of high school life enthusiastically—joining new clubs, making new friends, meeting new teachers and participating in all extra-curricular activities possible. Maybe we even overdid it just a little. The most popular and active club we aspired to join was the Red Pepper C lub sponsored by Miss Ane Marie Petersen, who was also our freshman class adviser. A whole new world had opened up for us. To us the war was far, far away. We little dreamed of the great elfect it would have on our later lives. To guide us through our first year we chose as class officers: Bob Parker, president; Pat McCampItell. vice president; Annette Pipta, secretary; and Joe Pustek, treasurer. Our second year of high school was very much like the first. This year we moved into the senior high school leaving behind many pleasant memories. Probably the most important event of the year was the ordering of class rings, which we hoped, vainly, we would receive the following year. We were already dreaming and planning for the Prom that was to come in our junior year for which we could hardly wait. Our sophomore class officers were Ernie Rorosi. president; Naomi Wilson, vice president; Norman Pulliam, secretary; and George Zajac. treas urer. Miss Ruth Nelson became our class adviser. Miss Ruth Nelson Class Adviser 14 Senior ( iaAA JJidto The next year was one of many changes. Siam of our classmates were called upon to leave us to serve our nation in her armed forces; others served in the factories and shops doing the jobs they had prepared for in the machine and wood shops of our school. We were beginning to grow up. This year, under the leadership of Martin Manich, president: George Bunchck. vice president; Irene Sallay, secretary: and Bob Brown, treasurer, our class sponsored the all important and long-awaited Junior-Senior Prom and we all looked forward eagerly to May 18. 1944. We chose “Arabian Nights” as our theme and the decorations were carried out accordingly. Of course, it was a big success! It had to be! This was the year we l ccame eligible to be chosen for ' '' •' ' J ' the National Honor Society. We became interested in the work of the “Tattler” and “Reflector” staffs and began participating in their work. And will we ever forget those days of merican history when we had to memorize the past presidents of the V. S ! In order to Ik prepared to carry on our activities in our senior year from the very first, we elected bur senior class officers as follows: Bob Brown, president; William Levin, vice president; David Ilajdmh. secretary; and George Salig.i, trcaMirei. ’ Naturally, the most important date in our high school career was the dav we entered as seniors—September 4. 1945. Ibis last year was one of great activity. It was a year of happiness mixed with a tinge of sorrow brought on by the many reminders that this'would be our last ’• %• ■ , r ip- -. year together. More and more of our boys wore leaving to serve in the amicef forces and have since served their country in many places throughout the world. Receipt of our class rings (finally) and of our class pictures only added to the finality . . . On the other haml. we were THE seniors—and big shots around school—and didn't we show it? But that didn't make us 1’ .4 i y ■ 't i sad—not at all! We edited the “Reflector” and the “Tattler and beaded various other organi a tions and clubs. To make the year even more joyful, our basketball and football teams built up great records. Parties, initiations. Bums' Day. the Prom, the Junior Senior picnic , and finally Class Night and Commencement served to complete our final and happiest ear in our dear old Alma Mater. We entered Whiting High School a carefree but enthusiastic group; we shall leave our school informed adults, conscious of the responsibilities facing us as tomorrow's leaders.

The ability to work satisfactorily and efficiently with others will be tbe prime qualification for pleasant living in the luture. Our school offers us many opportunities for developing a more co-operative spirit through its many clubs and extra-curricular activities. The various associations give to their members opportunities and valuable suggestions for further social and cultural development. By working with others we are apt to become less prejudiced and more understanding and considerate ol them. 1 hese organizations often serve as a medium through which many valuable friendships are formed and as the balance for our classroom work. 34 TRIPLE TRIO Pat McCampbell Dolores Mullancy Jeanne Madden Jayne Novotny Eleanor Treschak Helen Pasko Gerry Vuksanovic Dolores Miller Rosetta Riley 35 Counci t William Levin president Robert Brown vice president Marion Zrenchik secretary Robert Anderson treasurer Seated: R.

Awards are made each year and are varied to distinguish how many awards a pupil has received. If four such awards are attained throughout a pupil's high school career, a gold W is embossed on his diploma. 1 his club is what the name implies. Not only noted in high school as an outstanding pupil, the elected person is recognized for his or her potential ability in later life. The qualities these members possess are scholarship, leadership, character and service.

Arthur Chomistek Delores Miller For the first time in a number of years something besides a comedy was presented. With hero, heroine, villain and its own share of common crooks. Kind Lady was a thriller-diller melodrama. Being kind is sometimes a virtue, but in this instance, it was a great burden. From a well-planned scheme, a number of crooks had a clever, concealed way in which to get the heroine's riches. By confining her and changing her house about, these criminals almost had kind lady convinced she was crazy. Their plan was to prove to her she was mad. then cash in on her riches in paintings and statues. All might have gone fine but for Mr. Foster. the hero, who turned the matter over to the police. Again the judgment of the Drama Department was proven good by another hit decision. 53 The tradition and honor of our school were upheld nobly by our athletes in Green and White as they completed a brilliant chapter in the sports history of Whiting High. We, the students of Whiting High, have every right to be proud of our teams and the glory they have reaped by their deeds. To play the game is great, To win the game is greater, But to love the game is the greatest of all.

VALPARAISO—Valpo’s bow into the higher circles of football was met by a barrage of passes, runs, punts as the Green and White dealt them a 21-0 defeat.
