You are the average, ordinary teen-agers who make up a part of the daily life in Amer- ica. You share your interests—making fun out of work and filling your leisure hours with stimulating pastimes. Sports are some of your major interests, whether you participate or cheer your team on to victory from the stands. You're as typical teen-agers as can be found anywhere in the United States. Most of you hold down jobs to help out the family or to earn that little extra money that always comes in handy. Cokes, malts, hot dogs and hamburgers— these are about the closest resemblances to meals that you get in your noon hour rush. Although you hate to admit it, you really enjoy school—most of the time, anyway. You make it a rule never to take an overdose of study; but you make the grade, satisfying yourself, friends and family. Typical—that's what you are. You have all the qualities—good, bad or indifferent—that go into the making of a high school teen-ager. This book is a lasting tribute to you and your classmates. When you have finished school and have found your place in the world, we hope you will turn back to these pages many times and relive the joys and sorrows you experienced as teen-agers at Whiting High. ings. . .

J CcaJlt ines 00 dLlass It's hard to believe that four years can pass so quickly. We find ourselves graduating seniors, when it seems such a short time ago we were eager, care- free freshmen. As the class of 1955, we entered Whiting High with the intention of making our class one of the best in the history of the school. To help us attain this goal, we had the friendly guidance of Mr. C. E. Riehl, our class sponsor. Class elections played an important role in our high school career. Our presidents were Mary Therese McNamara, freshman year; Mary Greer, sophomore; Nick Plesha. junior; and Richard Plawecki, senior. Vice-presidents were Gerard Zelenke, freshman; Kay Lawton, sophomore; Michele Lynch, junior and senior. Taking notes at our meetings and keeping the rec- ords straight were our secretaries—freshman, Michael Kinel; sophomore, Mary Ann Bednar; junior and senior, Janice Grayson. Keeping track of the finances was by no means an easy task, but it was always well done, due to the fine work of our treasurers, jack Jaros, freshman; Tom Doran, sophomore; Carolyn Mowed, junior; and Jack Jaros, senior. Freshman year saw us eager to display our talent as we presented our freshman assembly. We also staged a magazine drive, which netted us close to $90. With a year's knowledge and experience under our belt, we advanced a rung up the ladder of learning. Because of the success of our freshman assembly, we presented a similar program as sophomores. Soon after our memorable journey to Washington, D. C., in our junior year, prom season rolled around. We never seemed to have enough time for the work that had to be done on the decorations. Many worked in the evenings to be sure everything would be ready when the Big Night arrived. No expense was spared in transforming the Girls' gym into a South American paradise. Our senior year was destined to be one that would make the class of 1955 stand head-and-shoulders above all others. Our football team started the season much the same as any other year. But then they threw open the throttle and roared over all opposition to become NIHSC and mythical state champions. We enjoyed a feast fit for kings at the Junior-Senior party. Entertainment was provided by class members. On Bums' Day we all let down our hair and let off some steam by staging our last and wildest assembly. In the afternoon we regained our senses and once again retired to our favorite pastime—eating—at our annual picnic. These are just a few of the memories we will carry with us when we leave Whiting High. We will also remember the lessons taught us by our mistakes. But we have achieved the goal we set for ourselves four years ago—to make our class one of the best in the history of Whiting High!

You were a cosmopolitan, starry-eyed group, determined to leave your imprint, one way or another. From the happy day I became your ‘sponsor,” I have worked with you, sparred with you, rejoiced with you as you tackled one project after another. You have definitely made your mark in your outstanding achievements in various school activities. Your class history details specific accomplishments, but there are several v hich occupy a special place in my memory. Our picnics in Forsythe Park, our assembly programs, where many hitherto hidden talents were uncovered, the Junior-Senior Prom by the prom committees, planning, carpentering, and decorating for “Black Magic, were enjoyable though exhausting at times. The Junior-Senior pot-luck and dance Fantasy in Snow,” was most enjoy- able. My thanks to the senior girls and boys whose efforts made it a success. It made the last class social function a grand finale. The members of this class may well be proud of the records you have made in music, drama, art, the purely academic subjects, and athletics. Your Class Night Program and Bum's Day were full of fun and frolic. Commence- ment Night terminated your lease on Whiting High. You are now graduates. My sincerest congratulations are extended to the Class of '55. Best wishes for success in whatever you undertake is my final message to you. May I suggest a motto from Shakespeare: “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man.” Compliments of CATHCART'S DAIRY QUEEN SILTANEN JEWELER 1441 Indianapolis Blvd. Page 28 The highest honors a high school student can receive are those of being valedictorian or salutatorian of his class. A four-year average is taken of each graduating student's scholastic work. The one with the highest average is named valedictorian, and the second highest average carries with it the salutatorian honor. Henryetta Boswell earned the vale- dictory crown this year with an aver- age of 96.18 per cent. Milan Matuska was close behind her with his 96.00 average, giving him the salutatorian honor. Both students were officers of the D. A. SAYLOR PAINT STORE 1504 - 119th Street Milan Matuska captured second highest honors for salutatorian. Whiting National Honor Society. Milan served as president and Henryetta as social co-chairman. The scholastic accomplishments of these students did not stop with the above honors. Henryetta was selected for the Whiting High D.A.R. award, based on dependability, service, lead- ership and patriotism. Milan represented Whiting High at the Hoosier Boys' State convention held in Indianapolis. In this program, boys from Indiana high schools spend a week learning the intricacies of the state government. They put what they learned into practice by participating in elections and campaigning for sim- ulated offices. GLOBE ROOFING PRODUCTS CO. Valedictorian for the class of '55, Henryetta Boswell. Page 29 Sometimes too much emphasis is placed on the importance and activities of the seniors. One should stop and re- member that the underclassmen are im- portant and play a major role in high school life throughout the year. They belong to clubs, sponsor dances, and hold their own when it comes to par- ticipating in the various athletic events. The freshmen added to their treasury by staging a successful magazine drive this year. A variety-type assembly, pre- sented by the sophomore class, displayed some of the talent possessed by Whiting High students. The juniors had one of the biggest jobs of all—planning and preparing the Junior- Senior Prom. These ambitious projects certainly show that the underclassmen didn't take a back seat to the seniors during the whole year of 1954-55. Page 30 SEMANCIK COAL COMPANY Phone - Whiting 42 J. C.

The theme of the dance, Black Magic, was a mixture of the primi- tive and civilized countries of bouth America. Decorations of red and black gave added emphasis to the already tingling atmosphere. Symbolizing t h e primitive lands was a replica of an ancient Inca idol, sitting upon its altar, staring at the crowd with sinister black eyes. Civilization was presented in the guise of a garden patio of a vast South American plantation house. Dreamy music for the occasion was rendered by Bud Pressner and his orchestra.

Janice Williams and Marge Pieters spent two weeks on the campus of Indiana Univer- sity, where they attended classes in yearbook layouts and copy work for the annual. Returning to school in the fall these two passed their knowledge on to the other staff members. Under the guidance of Miss Ane Marie Petersen, the REFLECTOR staff advisor, the framework of the yearbook began to take shape. The theme finally decided upon was It's The Students That Make Whiting High”. Blue and white were chosen as the 1955 REFLEC- TOR colors. This year's goal for advertising of $1100 was surpassed by $14. Without the finances received from ads given by the out-lying and, particularly, the local merchants, the success of this yearbook would not have been pos- sible.

These are a few of the calls and orders that are heard when the TAT- TLER staff is preparing the paper for the next issue. Making headlines and copy fit their alloted spaces are just two of the nu- merous duties of the reporters. After completion in the journalism room, the TATTLER copy is sent down to Mr. B. J. Vesely, printing supervisor of the paper, and his print shop boys. Here the stories are set up on the Little Giant printing press. From it roll the more than 600 copies of the TATTLER, distributed free of charge to all the students of the junior-senior high school every two weeks. Cub reporters are being trained in the journalism class to take the place of graduating TATTLER and REFLECTOR staff members. At the end of each semester the cub reoorters take charge of the news and put out a cub edition. In this way they utilize the knowledge acquired in the journalism class and gain the practical experience needed when they take over the TATTLER responsibilities. 00 ‘Jattlev iStaff All boys and one girl.

Patrol aspirants are usually elec- ted into the patrol by the older members, but they may be ap- pointed by the principal or the pa- trol supervisor. Students of the junior and senior high schools are eligible for membership. After one year of service, a mem- ber is presented with a service pin. A W monogram is awarded to members contributing two years of service.

Student (Council At Whiting the Council is an organiza- tion designed to accommodate the faculty and student body and to help in making school life more pleasant and orderly. The students voice their likes and dis- likes through their home room represen- tatives. Suggestions on various activities promoted throughout the year are wel- comed by the Council. Responsible for much of the success enjoyed by the organization is amiable Mr. Jack Taylor, who has been its spon- sor for many years.

Additional Spanish influences are found when the club travels to the Windy City of Chicago and and takes in a Mexican movie, followed by a snack in a Spanish restaurant. The flashing feet of dancer Jose Greco are also viewed by the Spanish enthu- siasts.

The Latinites may not always seem to behave in the manner of true Roman scho- lars, but a glimpse of one of their formal initiations will testify to the fact that they are trying to achieve a higher goal than most non-Latin students. The club has its lighter side, too, as de- monstrated in the informal part of the La- tin initiation. Miss Elizabeth Matson, sponsor of the group, instills added interest of ancient Rome by having the club present short skits and playlets symbolizing famous Romans or important incidents of the Roman era. A revision in the club constitution has changed the titles for the Latin I and II students and the Latin Club officers. The Latin I's are now the Plebeians, and the Latin II's are called the Patricians.

In order to be eligible for mem- bership, a candidate must earn a total of ten points by taking part in school plays and stage activities, whether in the cast or on one of the crews. After accumulating enough points the candidate is subjected to an informal initiation. In the spring he is formally initiated in- to the society.

It is looked upon and often regarded as the Phi Beta Kappa of the high school. In order to be eligible for membership a student must maintain at least a “B average. Other points of eligibility are also considered, such as charac- ter. A member must have such qualities as personality, honesty, reliability, promptness, achievement, and morality. Then selection is made by the faculty of those who have exemplified school and community service, and the ability to lead others. 'The flaming torch is the emblem of our purpose. To bear forward the searching light of truth, to lead so that others may follow in the light, to serve and to keep burning in our school a high ambition for the enduring values of life, these purposes are symbolized in the torch. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Marie Lentvorsky, the Whiting chap- ter of the society has maintained the standards prescribed by this national organization.

The objective of the club is to promote a greater interest in science and living things. Visiting the Museum of Science and Industry constituted one of the many field trips the organization sponsored throughout the year. In electing officers the members went all out and came up with the following seven VIP's: president, John McNamara; vice-president, Pat Palmer; secretary, Marlene Bach- urek; treasurer, Carol Satterlee; sergeant-at-arms, Carolyn Collins; librarian, Carol Burman; and re- porter, Mary Ann Magyar.

Trips to Purdue and Northwestern University speech seminars afforded the club members an opportunity to observe more experienced orators in action. At the speech congresses they learned parliamentary procedure, which enabled them to draw up bills and pass them at these meetings.

HOPPE'S DRIVE-IN Uptown - Whiting 708 1844 Atchison Avenue Page 65 From September to June, sports con- stitute a large portion of a Whiting student's life. He may be an active participant doing his utmost for the honor of the school, or he may be a spectator cheering the team on to a victory. Sports are essential to the welfare of the school population. They furnish an outlet for the excess energy possessed by every healthy high school student. The main purpose of an athletic pro- gram is not merely to encourage physical prowess and skill in a particular activity. Sports teach the basic fundamentals of fair play and help to develop the charac- ter traits necessary for a full, mature life as an adult. « • • o BODIE FOOD SHOP WEINER'S FOOD SHOP 1549 John Street 1959 New York Avenue Page 66 One, Two, Three, Four—One, Two, Three Glory And Honor Did They Bring To Whiting High! Whiting Oilers warm-up before the Whiting-South Bend Riley Ed Fritz plunges through with the ball during tl game, which they won 12-6. Whiting-South Bend Riley game. The 1954 gridmen of Whiting High School ended their successful season with an eight-win and one-loss record, the Northern Indiana High School and Mythical State Championship. Hobart, Washington, Morton, Hammond High, Roosevelt, Horace Mann, Clark and South Bend Riley fell under the mighty feet of the sturdy Oilers. The Gallivanites fell only to Gary Lew Wallace. As the season progressed, the Oilers became nick- named the Ironmen. Jerry Progar, Jim Kamradt, Bob Gumulauski, Bob Bercik, Dave Sharp, Walt Campbell, Wayne Baran, Don Hough, Carl Herakovich, Ron Rosin, Ed Fritz, Nick Plesha, Lewis Lee, and Phil Grenchik constituted the WHS Ironmen . Ed Fritz was the big gun for the Oilers. He scored 60 points and gained almost 1000 yards on the ground. Following the Clark-Whiting game, Fritz received the Most Valuable Player Award, while Louie Lee won the Best Mental Attitude Award. Hobart here—The Green and White started off their '54 grid season by whipping the Hobart Brickies. 13-0, on a drizzling evening in September. This was the first Whiting victory of the season. Two juniors. Bob Gumulauski -and Dave Sharp, did the scoring. Gumulauski scored the first tally of the season on a pass from Ed Fritz that covered 66 yards. Lew Wallace there—Tolleston field was the place where the Oilers fell to the Wallace Hornets. In the second quarter. Wally Smoot intercepted an Oiler pass on his own 40-yard line and went 60 yards for the TD. The Hornets were the first and only grid eleven to hold the Oilers scoreless. This was Whiting's first con- ference game and proved to be their only loss. Washington there—In the cold of the Roosevelt grid- iron, the Oilers scored their first big upset of the year by smashing the Washington Senators, 25-6. The Oilers scored their first tally on what came to be their best play. Ed Fritz carried the ball through a big hole in the middle of the line and went about 55 yards for the score. The Oiler defenses held up until, with about two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Solons scored their lone TD. Morton there—After the Washington game, students and teachers at WHS began to talk and think of a championship squad. Morton became the next victim of the determined Gallivanites. The Governors fell to the Oilers by the score of 13-0. Hammond High here—Inspired by the Homecoming cheering section and with the will to win, the Green and White went onto the football field and trounced the Hammond Wildcats, 25-13. Fritz again proved to be the big gun for the Oilers by gaining 192 yards. With this victory the championship thoughts, as well as the faith, hope and determination of the BOYS who played, were firmly established. Roosevelt there—Roosevelt, rated first in the state, and the Oilers, rated ninth, clashed on the Rough Rider gridiron and the Oilers scored twice in the first quarter. Fritz doing the scoring. He scored the first TD on a 50-yard run through the middle of the Rider line. Later he scored on a plunge and gave the Oilers a 12-0 lead. In the second quarter, the Riders scored a TD and kicked the conversion to make the score 12-7. The Green and White showed their great defen- sive strength by stopping several Rider drives, the last drive taking the Riders to their seven-yard line with two and a half minutes left in the game when the Oilers took the ball. Everyone sat on this edge of his seat throughout the game. Horace Mann here—Gary's Horsemen were the next to fall to Whiting. The Horsemen were unable to score and the Oilers went for 19 points to give them a four-and-one conference record. This tied them with Roosevelt, Washington, and Emerson for the Division title with one game left for the E. C. teams and Whiting. Clark there—With rivalry at its best at Clark's Home- coming, the Pioneers scored first and forced the Oilers to come from behind to win, 13-6. Clark worked its way within scoring distance and was held by the defense of the stubborn Green and White. Clark gained 108 yards by passing. South Bend Riley here—Three teams, Roosevelt, Emerson, and Whiting, tied for the Division title. A drawing took place and through the luck of Mr. Georae Burman, Whiting was picked to play Riley. The Oilers came on the field before the 4,000 fans as the underdogs and came from behind to defeat the Riley Wildcats, 12-6. Fritz scored both of the TDs. The Oilers captured the State Championship by climb- ing the ladder and having faith, hope and the will to win. CENTRAL AVENUE FOOD SHOP Joe Brozovich, Prop. Compliments of F. W.

Throughout the rough and victorious season, the manag- ers were with the Ironmen and kept them well supplied with good equipment. The managers of the championship squad were Jack Jaros, who served his third year as manager, George Ostrowski, who ex- perienced his second year as manager, and Carl Kristoff, who was a manager for the first time As managers, the boys had to be the first ones in the gym and were usually the last ones to leave. These boys had the chores of taking care of the uniforms, making sure they were clean and in good shape, seeinq that the players got the right numbered jerseys before the game and occasionally playing doctor for some of the injured players. They were also the right-hand aids for the coaches. Congratulations to the boys for a job well done during a championship year. 1st row—Henry Plawecki, David Yadron, Pat Gallivan, Bob Turich, Ron Wilson, Dennis Plesha, lack Sims. 2nd row—Bill Marlowe, Tom Justak, Jerry Reeves, Clyde Buckmaster, Jerry Burke, Milton Riggs. 3rd row—Don Bubala, John Krivacic.

If the initiate sur- vives this ordeal, he is proclaimed worthy of membership and admitted to the group. In addition to the initiation the club's agenda includes the presentation of its annual all-school dance, which is usually one of the best-attended dances of the year. Leading the members of the organ- | ization and the accomplishment of the group's activities were president, Ed Fritz; vice-president, Jim Kamradt; sec- retary, Bob Gumulauski; treasurer, Bob Bercik; and sergeant - at - arms, Carl Herakovich.

AMERICAN SLOVAK CLUB Social 6c Fraternal Club The Girls' Athletic Club's purposes are to promote good sportsmanship, friend- ship, and leisure time activities. Its mem- bership is comprised of nearly the entire female population of Whiting High. As members, the girls take part in var- ious athletic fields, including volleyball, basketball, bowling, swimming, hiking, and skating. The first three of the previous list are considered the major sports. The G.A.C., unlike most of the other school organizations, does not sponsor dances for its financial income, but oper- ates instead the concession stand at the lakeside stadium during football season. They also operate the concession stand in the Memorial gym during the basket- ball season. Membership in the club costs each girl 25 cents a year. Throughout the year G.A.C. parties are given, during which time the various awards earned by members are presented. The annual spring banquet is the main event on the G.A.C. calendar. Only those girls who have earned 700 or more points are eligible to attend. Miss Alice Jenkins, girls' athletic direc- tor and sponsor of the G.A.C., is always ready to give counsel to those who ask. Officers of the group this year were Michele Lynch president: Barbara Perunko, vice-president; Mary Ward, sec- retary; and Donna Fennell, treasurer. An important part of the organization is the executive board, the governina body of the G.A.C. It is composed of all past and present officers still in high school. The board decides on all matters of club policy and each month selects a girl for the Kamous Kate award.

Page 86 ooster The first real attempt to reorganize the Booster Club was begun only last year. Since then it has improved and rapidly expanded under the able hand of Mr. Norman Hall. The club's constitution states its purposes are to unify the student body and to promote school spirit and respect of school property. The organization has done a great deal to live up to its program of assemblies, the sponsorship of contests for new cheers, and the making of shakers for important athletic exhibitions. The club also co-operates with the Student Council in preparing the homecoming festivities. A dance, The Football Boogie, was spon- sored the Saturday following the Whiting High's conquest of South Bend Riley for the mythical state championship crown. With all the activities pursued by the club during the year, it was necessary to establish committees for the important tasks. These com- mittees and their chairman were the following: shakers—Janice Grayson and Janice Williams; signs—Betty Kristek, Elaine Piasecki, and Bar- bara Perunko; homecominq—Edith Mehok; trans- portation — Donna Fennell; pins, finance, and membership—Donna Coppage and Mary Ward; and assemblies — Pat Pustek, Monica Shebish, Carol Burman, and Gayle Pustek. Two sets of officers were chosen to lead the group with each set serving for one semester. The first semester officers were president, Mary Haviley; vice-president, Mary Ann Torzewski; secretary, Janice Grayson; and treasurer. Mary Ward. During the second semester two males broke the girls' monopoly on the offices. While Judy Fortner and Pat Pustek served as president and vice-president. Bob Bercik and Ed Fritz held down the secretary and treasurer positions.

Blvd., East Chicago, Indiana Being a teacher isn't exactly the easiest or the highest paid profession in the world. Yet, teaching is the most impor- tant job and will bear more influence on the future than any other occupation in that it is shaping the characters and lives of tomorrow's citizens. A teacher's impor- tance is not always evidenced by the at- titude of the student. All too often an instructor is looked upon as a heartless machine, giving unexpected exams and unjustified discipline. A teacher is human and has his faults and misgivings the same as the student. He may seem cross and unreasonable in some of the actions he takes; but he doesn't always mean everything he says or does. When someone becomes a teacher, he is devoting his life to a younger genera- tion in the hope that it will grow up strong in body, mind, and character. He de- serves all the respect and co-operation that we, the students, can give. We at Whiting High are especially for- tunate in possessing a sufficient number of competent teachers on the faculty. When we leave school, we shall be grate- ful for the understanding, guidance, and occasional discipline given us by those who helped shape our lives through education. Page 88 Compliments of PARK VIEW FOODS - 41, dministration Someone has said, The most precious posses- sion of a nation is the mindstuff of its people . Young people of the class of 1955, you will be contriDuting in the years ahead your part to- ward the making of that most precious pos- session of our nation, its mindstuff. May yours be a worthy portion. Many of nature's secrets await discovery. Many of man's precepts are to be preserved—ideals—the dignity of man in a free world under God. The challenge is yours; the responsibility is yours; the next fifty years are yours, we hope. This is going to be a wonderfully interesting age. Good luck. God bless you. For four years, Whiting High School has profited from the activities of the class of 1955 — from those who have furnished able leadership and from you who have been willing followers. Thus, it is with pride that each of you can view these past four years—pride in what you have gained from your high school education and pride in what Whiting has gained from your presence. It is important to remember that settling back into comfortable satisfaction after the success of this undertaking will stop your growth now at its most important time. You must see in your accomplishment a challenge to your increased strength and newly acquired skills. The record of each duty you have undertaken is the power to fulfill another. The record of your high school education is the power which is now yours— the power to attack any problem more success- fully, power to face any emergency more efficiently, and power to serve more effectively wherever you may go. As a class you have run through the entire gamut of economic and political ills which can beset mankind. You were born in the midst of a depression. You entered school at a time when the war clouds hung low over the Ameri- can people and our survival felt precarious. Before you left the grade school the mantle of the leadership of the democratic world was thrust upon our shoulders. You entered high school at the beginning of the most prosperous era in the history of the United States. What has brought us from a depression, through a world war, to an age of miracles of electronics, of wonder drugs and to an even greater future? It was men and women of vision. Men and women who would not give up when things seemed hopeless, who could see that future greatness of the United States. They were the builders. How easy it is to tear down and to destroy things—how difficult it is to build! What role are you going to play in the world of tomorrow? Are you going to make what you wish of it? Don't let anyone tell you it is going to be easy. It will be very hard work. We, your teachers, have great faith in you. We know your capabilities. We know you can do this job. We know America will not fail. We wish you Godspeed and that you will at- tain the worthy things you desire. £ octrJ of ( sc ttcafion Pictured from left to right—Mr. Paul Dobbertin, treasurer; Mrs. May Nyland, secretary; Mr. Barney Lopacki, president, Of fie.
