 $ jt)eclica tion The Reflector staff of 1949 wishes to laud the commendable achievement of the present foot- ball team, which has acclaimed state-wide recognition of their feat of a perfect season. This record is unsurpassed in the annals of the school and probably will not be equalled for some time. With this thought in mind we dedicate this, the ’49 Reflector, not only to the ”1948 State Champions,” but to every W.H.S. athlete who has participated in any sport for the glory of his Alma Mater and the betterment of himself.

IN MEMORIAM Lamar C. Grubb Lamar C. Grubb, superintendent of the Whiting Public Schools, who died on January 17, 1949, in Indianapolis, has surely left his distinctive mark on the Whiting Schools, with which he was asso- ciated for almost 35 years. During the six years in which Mr. Grubb serv-d as superintendent, a complete modernization pro- gram was undertaken to improve the physical properties of the school. Modern tiled floors, sound- proofed ceilings and fluorescent lighting fixtures, which are advantageous to proper working conditions for students, were installed. Next came a new wing on the south end of the Senior High School build- ing enlarging the shop and commercial department, thus giving Whiting High School one of the most modern and best equipped commercial departments in the Calumet District. Also plans for a new physical education building have been completed and construction is scheduled to begin. Mr. Grubb, born on July 29, 1891, near Greencastle, Indiana, came to Whiting in September, 1914, as a teacher a graduate of DcPauw University. In addition, he took graduate work at Purdue and the University of Chicago. After four years of teaching, Mr. Grubb was appointed principal of the senior high. In this position Mr. Grubb was respected by all, for he was cooperative and willing to ac- cept suggestions from teachers and students alike. He became superintendent of schools in 1943. He played an important part in the education of several generations of Whiting young people as teacher, principal, superintendent. The continued progress of the Whiting Public Schools during the past thirty years has been Lamar C. Grubb’s greatest satisfaction. Pogc Six
