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!
