JOHN CIESAR AND SONS Chrysler - Plymouth Page 11 Reflector Staff R ecorcls Work on the REFLECTOR started in the spring of 1952 when the staff chose Marionettes as the theme for the 1953 yearbook. Dur- ing the summer the co-editors, Bette Boland and Nancy Brozovich, spent two weeks at Indiana University tak- ing courses in yearbook editing and production. The fall of 1952 started the advertising campaign. The staff made an all-time high of $1064. After the advertising drive came the tedious job of planning, taking, and mounting pictures. Under the supervision of Miss Anc Marie Petersen the staff, con- sisting of fourteen members of the Senior Class, spent many strenuous hours struggling to get pictures, copy, and art work in before the deadline days. Harriet Walker, Loretta Turner, Chris- tine Micoley, and Phyllis Sharp look over old Reflectors searching for ideas for layouts. Joan Stavitzke cuts art work while Grace Liland, Joanne Furstenburg, and Rosemary Pevak look on. Mary Kay Grogan, Marilyn Hess, and Mary Jane Callahan check up on the finances; Blanche Bohacik and Barbara Germick mount pictures.

HOOSIER DRUG Walgreen System Store’ Current Events TATTLER Through the combined efforts of the editorial staff, advised by Miss Anc Marie Petersen, and the print shop, under the supervision of Mr. B. J. Vesely, our school paper, THE TATTLER, rolls off the “Little Giant” and into the hands of eagerly waiting students once every two weeks. Its pages are brimming with news items on school accomplishments, plays, sports, clubs and human inter- est. Juniors interested in working on either TATTLER or REFLECTOR staffs must take Journalism. At the end of the semester’s training period, the Cubs write stories and gather most of the news for the TATTLER staff. Co-editors Lydia Burman and Jeanette Papesh and Miss Ane Marie Petersen discuss front page set-up. Helen Molcan, Pat Kozacik and Jane Balog count out TATTLERS for distri- bution. The Sports staff, Julius Miklosy, Andy Jefchak, Bill Bercik, Don Orban, and Jim Ribovich, count lines for sports copy. Helen Bukvich, Judy Adzima, Pat Zencka, and Shirley Portman make up their pages.

These boxes contain toys, tablets, toothbrushes, combs, and other items a needy child would want. The J. R. C., now supervised by Miss Shirley Crutchfield, the school nurse, has also sponsored a member- ship drive. Donations were collected in homerooms. An assembly was presented by the J. R. C. telling how that J. R. C. came to be what its purpose is. A movie was shown so the students would know how their funds were put to use.

Every year the Latin Club prepares an instruc- tive display and exhibits it in the Senior High corridors. New members must have the strength of Roman gladiators to with- stand the stiff initiation inflicted upon them. Miss Elizabeth Matson is the sponsor of this ambitious group. J. J.

WINSBERG’S “The Store for Young Men' Page 37 Grid S eason Concludes wi tk T raditional Victory The green clad gridmen concluded their 1952 football season with three wins and six defats. The varsity squad, mostly com- posed of inexperienced underclassmen, could only compile victories against Morton, Brazil, and Clark in the winning column. CHEERING SQUAD POSES WITH OILER CAN In the grid opener with Hobart, the Whitingitcs took the count in a 13-6 defeat. The Green and White trailed in yardage throughout the contest. By hustling 45 yards with the pigskin, Bill Misicko made the only Oiler Tally. Venturing to Brazil, the Gallivanites triumphantly topped the Red Devils, 20-6. In warmer climate, Lee, Valencik, and J. Misicko collected paydirt. The Oiler attack was centered on Brazil’s unstable line. Again on the lakefront, the Green and White captured Morton scalps in a 52-18 slaughter. The Gallivan regime, running a perpetual drive to the goal posts, plung- ed their way through the Governors’ line on almost every play. John Zitko’s cohorts of East Chicago Washington boldly marched over the Oilers on the continuous round-end plays by Norman Smith and company. The green clad were soundly trampled under the wrath of the powerful Senators, 38-14. Fritz scored for Whiting on a goal-post plunge while Plesha tallied on a 33-yard pass from Jancich in the dying seconds of play. As guests of Gary Tollcston, the Oil City gridmen were treated in a very unbecoming manner. Suffering a 13-7 defeat, the Whitingitcs’ only tally was on a round-end scamper by Joe Misicko. Yard coverage was phenomenally dis- played by Lee and Valencik, who sparkled throughout the battle. Battling against Hammond High, the Whitingitcs failed to emerge in the victory column. ’Twas a gala homecoming for all alumni with the coronation of the queen Kneeling: Olga Phillips, Pat Kozacik. Standing: Margie Van Meter, Marianne Mazanck. AMERICAN SLOVAK CLUB Social and Fraternal Club Compliments of ANDRE’S BEAUTY BOX Page and court. The only misery involv- ed in the celebration was the 28-19 trouncing from the Wildcats. Having no mercy on the Oil City gridmcn, Roosevelt ran roughshod to a 36-0 rally. Lee and Valencik made futile attempts to cross the striped zone with the pigskin but were con- tinuously crushed by the powerful Rough Riders. In a tangle with Tech, the Galli- vanites lost a heart-breaker in the dying minutes 12-9. The Oiler tally was credited to Joe Misicko, who played a phenomenal game in that foggy Hammond stadium. Three points are accredited to Don Roman, who tackled a Tiger gridman in the safety zone.

On the cold, hard Pioneer gridiron, the Whiting forces started their conquest for victory in the opening minutes with a 50-yard touch- down spree by Julius Miklosy. With rivalry at its peak, the Oilmen phenomenally broke their losing streak by smashing one of their bitterest enemies. By scoring one touchdown and sparkling on defense, LeRoy Lee was awarded the most valuable player trophy.

Whiting led 15-9 at the end of the first quarter before Clark moved into a halftime lead of 29-28. The Kovachic men had taken a 44-41 advant- age entering the last quarter. In a tangle with Fowler, the hardwood bug dished the green-clad quintet a 53-37 triumph. In the opening stanzas Coach Duane Klueh’s maroon and white netmen played par ball by holding the Whitingites to a two-point lead. Lashing fire with fury in the third round, the Oil City five broke open with 18 points. The Whiting netmen downed Hammond Tech the following week in a 57-39 mass- acre. Pieters and Strisko sparkled through- out the battle with 15 and 10 points, respec- tively. Venturing into Illinois, the Oilers defeat- ed Fractional by a 54-46 margin. Returning home, the Green and White enlarged their victory streak by smashing Emerson 59-55. As hosts to Froebel the Whitingites were treated in an unbecoming manner which exploded their victory surge. Despite the 18-18 deadlock at the half, the Oilmen were defeated 51-41. In a tilt with Horace Mann, the Kovachic men survived a 53-52 decision. Lagging by quarter margins of 13-7, 28-19, and 39-36, the Whitingites pulled ahead in the waning minutes on a long two-hander by Palcnchar. The Oil City five fell at the hands of Tolleston in their first contest of the new year. Suffering a 60-42 defeat, the Whit- ingites experienced their first tragic loss of the cage season. Once again the Oilers were nipped by Clark in a 46-44 overtime decision. At the end of the fourth stanza the score was dead- locked at 40-40; and in overtime play the Kovachic men failed to survive the Pioneers’ torrid pace. Traveling to Valparaiso, the Green and White managed to dent the winning column by edging the Vikings 57-54. The Oiler attack was centered on a fast break led by Bob Valcncik, who seared the nets for 17 points. Back in the Memorial Gym the green- clad quintet blasted Griffith 47-32. The Panthers were close to the victory mark until Tom Pieters broke loose with an array of baskets in the third stanza. Following the victory over Griffith, the Whiting netment were given a solid trounc- ing by Michigan City, who claimed a 68-42 triumph. Against Mishawaka the Oilers exper- ienced a defeat as they watched the visitors wrap up and take home a 51-39 victory.

Freshman Gagers In a tussle with Roosevelt the Whiting- ites again received their fate as the Rough Riders romped to a 58-52 triumph. Although the Kovachic men drew first blood by opening with a 10-3 surge in the first four minutes, they failed to match the Rough Riders’ sharpshooting in the latter periods of play. At the Civic Center the Oil City five failed to survive a 47-33 decision against Hammond High. Returning home the Whitingites suffered a defeat at the hands of the powerful Con- ference champs, Lew Wallace. The Steel City foes pulled away in the opening minutes which led to a 73-55 climax. CENTRAL WHOLESALERS 1916 New York Avenue Against the powerful Washington Sena- tors, the Oil City Five suffered a 75-61 defeat. Jack Strisko sparkled throughout the hardwood session by singeing the nets for 19 points. Participating in their last game of the cage season, the grccnclad quintet were defeated 54-33 in a heartbreaking battle with Edison. The Kovachic men lost their tourney opener to George Rogers Clark 66-55. During the long and spirited battle, Strisko, Palenchar, and Pieters accounted for over two-thirds of Oiler scoring honors.

Following the Hornet conquest, the Whitingites trounced South Bend Central 38-28. Next Hammond High topped the Oilers in a 40-26 decision. Venturing to Froebel, the Oil City aqua- men downed another Steel City foe, 55-11. The Gallivanitcs then enlarged their victory string by a second trouncing of Lew Wallace, 46-20. The Whiting aquamen were again trampled under the wrath of Horace Mann, 37-29. In a tussle with South Bend Riley, the Oilmen claimed an easy conquest as they romped to a 47-19 triumph. Next the Whitingites undoubtedly proved their strength by downing Lew Wallace for the third time, 45-21. The green-clad swimsters successfully concluded their participation in dual meets by smashing Froebel, 50-16. In state competition the Oilers managed to earn a sixth place. Records Whiting’s thinly clads completed their 1952 track season with a fair record in dual meets. However, they succeeded in smash- ing many school records during the year. John Allen, the phenomenal sprinter, now holds the record for the 100 and 220- yard dashes with 10 and 22 seconds flat. Jim Stone captured records in the high hurdles with 14.9 and 20.9 in the 180-yard low hurdles. Another record fell by the wayside as Don Wargo ascended 11’ 5” into the clouds to establish a new preccndent for Whiting polevaulters. Also renewed was the half-mile relay record. The team consisted of Allen, Wargo, Stone, and Lentvorsky. Letters were awarded to Wargo, Lent- vorsky, Allen, Stone, and Oprisko. In cross country participation Ferid Murad, who sparkled throughout the season, was the only letter winner.

Each Friday the members of the “W” Club sport their “W’s” on green school sweaters. The efforts of this year’s initiates were put into use. Instead of the usual useless antics, the initiates cleaned the desks in study hall, held exit doors open, and carried books of the members. A formal initiation was also held. The club, under the direction of Mr. Ray P. Gallivan, director of athletics, also spon- sored an all-school dance and assembly. After graduation all members automat- ically become members of the Alumni “W” Club, an adult organization which supports the school athletic program.

It was funny, we were told, to sec the various expressions on our faces as we walked through the halls studying our photo- graphs. The winter months seemed to fly past, and before we realized it, the prom was the topic of conversation among the students. We shall never forget that prom, nor shall we forget the parties, initiations, the Junior-Senior picnic, and the graduation exer- cises, which completed our final and happiest year at Whiting. We have said our good-byes to everyone that means Whiting High, and as we take our memories and diplomas, we will just fade away and hope that for all dear Whiting High School has given us, we have given to it a little in return by just being—the class of 1953.

Taylor, because of his patience and guidance as our class advisor during these four years of learning and because of his outstanding interest in us, we, the Senior Class, dedicate THE REFLEC- TOR of 1953. Mr. Taylor came to Whiting High in the fall of 1947 after attend- ing DePauw University and the University of Michigan. He now teaches Spanish and World History. Among his many favorite pastimes are reading and playing his well-known guitar. Many experiences we have had and many people wc have known will be forgotten through the course of our lives, but Mr. Taylor will be among our fondest remembrances.
