3JU S. eniors Upper—Their shining blue eyes have brought fame to Nancy Carroll and Carl Herakovich for the nicest eyes. Middle—Give them a jitterbug, tango, or waltz and Judy Jancosek and Jack Jaros will do the rest. Bottom right—If we wanted Red Buttons, we called on Janice Grayson; if you wanted laughter we had that, too, Jerry Brindley. They were the wittiest in our class. Bottom left—In athletics we have stars, Mary Haviley and Lewis Lee.

Mr. R. C. Riehl, sponsor. It seems but yesterday that you, the graduates of 1955, invaded the hallowed halls 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
