Whiting High School - Reflector Yearbook (Whiting, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1948 volume:

THE REFLECTOR OF 1948 Prepared in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of WHITING HIGH SCHOOL WHITING, INDIANA Presented by the Senior Class F JL ROM ITS small beginning in 1898 and up through the following fifty years, Whiting High has graduated into the world hundreds of men and women, some of whom have gone on to great heights in their careers. Others have come back to their Alma Mater and put their effort and talent into transforming it into one of the outstanding schools of its time. Still others have gone about their daily life work, thus contributing to the welfare of their homes, community, and country. In memory of our predecessors, we, the Senior Class of 1948, do dedicate this Golden Jubilee Reflector to all those who have passed before us through the portals of Whiting High during the fifty years of its grand existence. May these pages bring back fond memories of their high school days.

As our alma mater proudly looks back over its half-a- hundred years, let’s go back with it and see how much fifty years have changed our community. The first settlers began coming into the northwestern-most region of Indiana in the early 18 50’s. These pioneer inhabitants derived their living from hunting, fishing, limited farming, and picking wild berries in the vast woodlands of the area. The Standard Oil Company first broke ground for what was destined to become the world’s largest oil refinery in 1889 on land that was formerly the favorite hunting and fishing grounds of the Illini Indians. As the refinery began to operate, a town began to mushroom. The population increased during the immediately ensuing years to such an extent that the first city government for the town of Whiting was formed in 1895. Eight years later, in 1903, Whiting was incorporated as a city. In 1898, townspeople decided that there were enough students to start a high school; and thus, in the fall of that year, the second story of a brick building on the corner of 119th and Oliver Streets received the first high school boys and girls in Whiting’s short history. Two recitation rooms and a large assembly hall housed the eight students, three teachers, and principal. Then, as now, English was required, but other subjects, such as art, German, and mathematics, were elec- tives. VETS SERVICE CAB 1931 New York Avenue — Phone: 398 1687 After-school hours in ’98 saw no football, basketball, or baseball practice as sports were not included in the school’s activities. Instead, active students engaged in bicycling, with the stylish Gay Nineties girl cyclists wearing large, colorful bloomers. This sport usually took in a route from Oliver through Center Street out to woodland-surrounded Berry Lake, located between Whiting and what is now Markstown. Most of Whiting’s three thousand plus population was located in or around the business dis- trict, then Front Street. Standard Oil Company houses were situated on Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York Avenues, while small farms occupied the area around what is now Fred and John Streets, near Indianapolis Boulevard. Cow pastures abounded out in the Robertsdale district. The territory between Oliver Street and Cleveland Avenue was an area of marshes and woods. Near what is now Lever Brothers was, in the Gay Nineties, an outlet for Lake George into Lake Michi- gan. During these early years, grad- uation exercises were held in Goebel’s Opera House on John Street, as the school had no auditorium, and the Community Center, site of present graduation ceremonies, was not destined to be constructed until 1923. A person walking barefoot along the city’s streets, which were really cinder roads, was in danger of picking up splinters, as the walks of ’98 were not of cement but boards. These board- walks were of different levels along the street, according to the likes or dislikes of the property owners, who built their own walks. A gentleman of the Gay Nineties would have to watch his step when out walking downtown at night as there was but one kerosene lamp in that area. GEORGE SPIES INDUSTRIES, INC.

The relationship between the teacher and the student is usually one of good will and understanding because it is an important part of the teachers’ work to become acquainted with each member of his class, to understand his students, and to assist them in all ways. W.H.S. teachers are friends. They offer us valuable advice, sympathize with us when we are in difficulties and must face perplexing prob- lems. They encourage us in our ambition and influence us to strive for success. Many of them act as sponsors of organizations and classes, willingly devoting their time and energy to help further friendship and cooperation among the students. STATE BANK OF WHITING Whiting High’s first graduating class in 1900 consisted of five students. This honored quintet had transferred in 1898 from East Chicago High to the brick building on Oliver Street that housed Whiting’s first high school. The faculty of three strove to give their students the education they desired, even with the limited amount of courses to choose from. Readin’, ’ritin’, and ’rithmctic were the basis of every education. Today, in 1948, a modern Whiting High graduates over one hundred students a year. A staff of teachers, ten times that of ’98, gives the students of this generation the education they need to meet the complex problems of this scientific age. Students can now receive training of vocational, cultural, or even domestic value in classrooms and laboratories equipped with modern educational devices and machines.

The Reflector picture staff, trying hard to make up their minds. Goodbye. That word can make one either happy or sad. In our case it’s both: sad because we are leaving our high school days behind forever, parting with friends and classmates whom we’ve been with since we can remember, and even our teachers, whom we forgive for all the work they’ve caused us; happy because we are starting on a new path, which holds many surprises and adventures in store, and because we’ve finally reached the goal we’ve been striving toward for four long, but wonderful years. Our freshman year brings us back to 1944-45, our picnic at Sheridan beach when we just about froze to death, those ‘’after school” parties, and the assembly we gave for the sophomores. We elected Delores Miller as president of our class with Dan Lynch as vice president, Monica Bodnar as secretary, and Bob Krauel as treasurer. We closed our freshman year with the Freshman Prom. Our prom! Oh, we didn’t wear formals, but we did have corsages. After all, we had three more years to go and had plenty of time for formals and tuxedos. We were just bc- Mi� Marie Grccnwald, Senior class sponsor ginning!! After surviving our first year of high school, we came back for another try at our second, holding the title of Sopho- mores. This year we had our picnic in Whiting Park along with juniors and seniors. Deciding on blue jeans and sloppy shirts we held a Hallowe’en party, where we all had a swell time in an informal way. We mustn’t forget our Sophomore prom, “Fantasy in Blue”, nor our officers for that year: presi- dent, Bob Strisko; vice president, Beth Spurrier; secretary, Bob Harr; and treasurer, Marcella Portman. GREEN AND POWERS Attorneys Our junior year began with ordering our class rings. We reached into the grab-bag for a ten-cent gift at our class Christmas party, and we had a wonderful time at the Junior-Senior Picnic, eating to our hearts’ content and beating the seniors in a fair (?) game of baseball. Our officers this year were: Alfy Pilarcik, president; Jimmy Broderick, vice president; Gene Law- ton, secretary; Harold Gurevitz, treasurer. Since our class was sponsoring the Junior-Senior Prom this year, were busy planning. We called it Heavenly we Dreams” and decorated it in exactly that way. The big night finally came and went, and then school was over for that year with three down and only one more to go. Senior claw officer : Thcrcsc Ostrowski, treasurer George Corman, president; Dan Lynch, vice president Joan Shcpton, secretary. Our Senior and final year was the happiest, yet the saddest year we spent in our Alma Mater. Though we’re leaving, we’ll forever keep the memories of Bums’ Day, the Junior- Senior Picnic and dance, the prom, and other parties and dances in our memories, also Class Night and Commencement, when we cried and laughed together. More than ever before we began looking toward the future. To guide us through our last year we had as class officers: George Corman, president; Dan Lynch, vice president; Joan Shepton, sec- retary; and Therese Ostrowski, treasurer. So to Whiting High School we say good- bye. There’s no more time and we must leave. To Miss Marie Greenwald, our class sponsor, who guided us through our four years of high school, who so sweetly helped us in so many ways, all we can say ____ . „ is thanks — thanks a million, and The senior-beaded I at Her came out punctually with the good-bye.

CLASS OFFICERS: EUGENE PETERS President PAUL MF.HALSO Treasurer DOROTHY OPRISKO Secretary GEORGE BROWN Vice President BANK OF WHITING ACTIVITIES ’Way back in 1898, Whiting’s five students couldn’t have much in the way of activities as even their scholastic subjects were limited. They had their dances and good times, but these were not part of their school life. Gradually, however, through the years, as school enrollment began to rise, students began forming clubs, organizing speech and dramatic activities, and participating in athletic con- tests. NORTHERN INDIANA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY Today, in a modern Whiting High, practically any activity may be engaged in by an ambitious student, whether it be of a studious, frivolous, or athletic nature. An integral part in the education of today’s student, extra-curricular work or play encourages the development of initiative and responsibility, stimulates bud- ding interests, and fosters respect for one’s fellows.

Few records of the firs days of W.H.S. were available. Staff members interviewed early citizens, who wer most generous in giving their time and memories. Organizing, condensing and reconciling the data collected, planning layouts, ar ranging for and mounting the pictures, and writing copy was the task of the edi torial staff. The business staff encountered rising costs in every phase of production. To mec these obligations and still keep the students purchase price low required work an ingenuity. Besides regular revenue sources, advertising and subscriptions, a school talen show and dances were sponsored.

Students who wish to participate often prefer to see what part they arc fitted for best by use of the wire recorder. The recorder is a welcome addition to the speech department because of its help in overcoming speech difficulties and in clarifying difficult scenes of a play. 2. When the cast is picked, the time comes for the various crews to be chosen. The picture suggests the typical work of a make-up crew practicing on them- selves before they start on the cast the night of the play. WHITING RECREATION PARLOR Delicious Lunch and Refreshments WHITING FLOWER SHOP 1347 1 19th Street 3. Proper costumes must be chosen to char- acterize the time, place, and setting of the play. The costume committee is given the responsi- bility of choosing the costumes and seeing that the wardrobe is kept in good condition. 4. Many hours of rehearsal must be put in by both cast and director to perfect the acting, gestures, and diction. 5. The publicity and business committee spreads the news of the play to students and townspeople. They distribute and sell tickets and take care of business affairs. F. W.

McLaughlin’s service 1831 Indianapolis Bivd. A O K GARAGE 1819 119th Street The sand dunes along the shores of Lake Michigan, the numerous small lakes inland, the dense forests, the swamps and marshlands made the vicinity about Whiting in 1898 a boys’ paradise. Swimming, boating, fishing, hunting, and skating were favorite sports of Whiting High School boys. A tennis court was laid out on school property. Football, bas- ketball, and baseball were played on pasture lots with scanty equipment. Gone are nature’s playgrounds from the environs of Whiting, but fifty years have brought school supervised sports to the fore. Well-equipped football teams battle on one of the finest athletic fields in the region, swimmers enjoy a modern school pool, and basketball players are looking forward to a new gymnasium, now in the blue-print stage. W.H.S. offers a program of six sports—football, cross country, basketball, swimming, track, and baseball. Adequate equipment and medical supervision assure healthful, safe participation in a well- rounded athletic program. ... IN THE END ZONE Oiler squad polishing up for a coming game. Whiting High’s football team concluded a successful season last fall despite the fact that they were able to come out on top in only one of the last four games. The boys from the lake front wound up the season with a record of six wins, one loss, and two ties. The Gallivanites opened up the grid season against Noll Central and the Oilers proceeded to smash through five opponents before a tie with Hammond halted their victory skein. The oil city boys hit their peak when they ran up scores of 38 points on two successive Fridays against Lima, Ohio and Hammond Tech respectively. The Oilers’ only defeat came at the hands of the state champions, Roosevelt, in the game of the year in the Calumet Region. The Green and White at that time were ranked second in the state behind Roosevelt. Despite the fact that they were heavy favorites in the annual grid clash with Clark, the Oilers could only show a tie for their efforts in this game. The Whitingites came through in the final game of the season, just as they started it, with a victory. In post-season polls of Indiana newspaper men, Whiting received ranking among the top five ma- chines in the state. Top Row: A. Kovalcik, E. Dulla, J. Miller, J. Vacendak, R. Mahmct, B. Brozovich, H.

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL Whiting’s Freshman-Sophomore football team, after winning the championship two years in a row, suffered a disastrous season, failing to win a game. The underclassmen showed plenty of fight and spirit, but were unable to match the record made the previ- ous years by Oiler squads. The team was coached by Steve Fowdy and James Homco, who made their initial appearances on the coaching staff at Whiting High. COACHES WITH BACK FIELD Left to right: Coach Fowdy, R. Dvorscak, M.

AVERY, DENTIST 1900 Indianapolis Blvd. AMERICAN TRUST SAVINGS BANK Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Whiting’s 1947-48 basketball quintet, winning 13 out of 23 games, played many a thrilling battle for their loyal fans. Three times during the season, they were nosed out by one point. However, they fought their way into third place for the conference. The Oilers made a sizzling finish out of the 1947-48 basketball schedule, by winning seven out of the last 10 games. They went on to beat Hobart and East Gary in the Sectional Tourney before los- ing a tough 39 to 3 5 decision to E.C. Washington in a gafne that will probably go on record as one of the strangest defeats the Green and White were ever handed. Whiting made a brilliant come- back after scoring only one basket during the initial half. Henry Mazul, playing his third year on the varsity, captured individual scoring honors for the Oilers. He broke the school record by far with 326 points for the season. The six-foot-four center also led the conference in scoring with 175 points. Kovachic’s cagers were definitely dominated by the seniors, who composed the first five and two reserves, Henry Mazul, Bob Strisko, Alfred Pil- areik, Neil Plesner, Bob Brozovich, Bob Krauel, and Joe Rogina. Underclassmen on the squad in- cluded John Vetroczky, Phil Mateja, and Richard Dufallo. All were letter winners. WHITING SERVICE STATION 119th and Indianapolis — Phone: 1519 Oivr here. Hank!

Fighting it out with our rivals from Clark, Big Ed •itched himself into high school’s hall of fame with a no-hit, no-run game, ie also set down the Horsemen of Horace Mann with one hit.
