REFLECTOR 5 ? Dedication We of the 1957 REFLECTOR staff dedicate this book to Whiting High School. To the administration, who work constantly to make our school a better one. We appreciate their part in making our school days more profitable. To the faculty, whose instruction and guid- ance will make us better men and women when we step out to face the world on our own. We will never forget the days they spent teaching and preparing us for our future lives. To the students, who will live on in our minds and hearts. We shall never forget the classes, parties, dances, and sports events that made our high school days happy ones. We shall never forget the class experiments and the midnight oil burned studying for each test. We will always remember the excitement we felt as the clock ticked off the final seconds of that all-important game. And who could ever forget the beating of our hearts as we sang Hail Sturdy Oilers at each pep session. The anxieties we shared before the Junior- Senior Prom will remain high on our list of memories. As we leave Whiting High School, all of these things are in our past, but------- Memories Are Made Of This Memories In The wheels go round and round. Who hid the clock?

Memories Of lUcli MjfljHii Table of Contents Autumn Winter Spring 11 AUTUMN As the leaves turned from green to shades of autumn, we began our last year at W.H.S. The senior girls gave an assembly showing the football team that each student was behind them. Club initiations and the beginning of our final classes were a few of the activities that filled our schedules. The parade highlighted the week and the senior girls donned their traditional white mums to cheer at their last home- coming game. In appreciation for the team's efforts and hard work, the senior girls spon- sored a football banquet after the last game. Mr. John McNamara, secretary; Mr. Barney uopacki, treasurer; Mrs. May Nyland, president; Mr. George Burman, superintendent. Board of Education Members of the Whiting Board of Education are elected by the Whiting City Council for terms of three years. Meetings are held twice a month to discuss the problems of the Whiting School system. Various responsibilities of the Whiting Board of Education are to pass on policies of the school, to authorize expenditures, to approve appointments and to plan the annual budget. The present officers are Mrs. May Nyland, president; Mr. John McNamara, secretary; Mr. Bernard Lopacki, treasurer; Mr. William Obermiller, board at- torney; and Mr. George Burman, superintendent. Compliments of SAM, YOUR BARBER 14 WHITING HARDWARE 1600 119th Street To The Class of 1957: Congratulations and best wishes to the graduating class of 1957! As you leave Whiting High School for new worlds to conquer , you take with you no simple formula for success and happiness. The same standards which have measured your accomplishments in high school will determine your future. Your rewards will be only as great as your integrity and faith, ambition and ability. In a comparatively short period of time, all of you will enjoy the privileges and assume the responsibilities of an adult world. Your four years at Whiting High School have been planned to guide and prepare you for such a step. The extent to which you have valued this opportunity will be evidenced by your ability to serve yourself, your community, and your country. I earnestly urge each one of you to take advantage of every opportunity to grow intellectually,... learning need never stop; strengthen yourself spiritual- ly in order to live righteously, and cherish the privilege of living in a country where you are not denied the right to either. Whiting High School will miss all of you and wishes you every success and happiness. G. O. BURMAN Superintendent Compliments of F. W. WOOLWORTH COMPANY 15 GILBERT A. BRINDLEY Attorney-at-Law You of the class of 1957 have reached an age of decision — you are at the cross roads of youth and adulthood. In the Midwest, as in most parts of America, a high school education is necessary for future progress up the ladder of success. A most important period, your high school life, is behind you. Even though you should end your formal education at this time, what you have accom- plished and accumulated educationally in the past four years will, in a great measure, either aid or deter you in your struggle for existence. The class of 1957 will no longer continue as a group but will take diverse paths through the future years. Some of you will turn to industry, some with enter business, some will become homemakers while others will continue in the field of learning to prepare themselves better for their journey. No matter which way your choice may take you, the attitudes, the character traits, and the skills you have developed in these years will determine the speed of ascendency in your chosen field. Above all, it is most important that you continue to be good citizens, obeying the laws of God and the Land. God speed and bless you along the way. RAY P. GALLIVAN Principal To the seniors: I hope you have found your four years of high school very beneficial and stimulating. They are years that cannot be relived. I hope your contacts with your fellow students and teachers have been pleasant and enjoyable. As you go out into the community, take pride in earning your place in a democracy which depends upon the best efforts of everyone of us. Serve your community, state, and nation to the best of your capacity. If you are honest, eager, and willing to take on your civic and national duties, then your country will mean more to you. Good luck; and do not forget your old friends and teachers. Sincerely, E. L.

HOMECOMING The 1956 homecoming took place in the Lakefront Stadium on October 12 with Whiting playing host to East Chicago Washington. Mary Ward was elected by the student body to reign over homecoming festivities. Members of her court were Bernice Jancosek, senior at- tendant; Diane Mrzlock, junior attendant; Mary Alice Daly, sophomore attendant; and Bonnie Sorrels, freshman attendant. The school buzzed with excitement as the big day drew near. A parade was scheduled for the day before the game and ended with a bonfire and snake dance. The queen was crowned by Danny Santay, Student Council president, at the half on Friday night. The homecoming dance was a huge success. Everyone agreed that it truly was a glorious homecoming. 53 1956 Varsity Bottom Row: Dick Pope, Ray Pieters, Roger Marsh, Paul Kompier. Row 2: John Krivacic, Jerry Ward.

Present Pink Champagne Fluffy crinolines, heavily starched shirts, beauty shop appointments, and an extra shine to the family car, all bring back memories of the 1956 Junior-Senior Prom. How mature we felt as we left our homes for the biggest event in our high school careers! The moon and stars made the night beauti- ful and enchanting as we arrived at the ball- room. The St. John Panel room was the site of the dance. Couples walked under a flower-covered arch to enter our imaginary night club. A huge pink champagne bottle was the center of attraction and top hats, canes, and white gloves added to the exciting atmosphere. Amid the sparkling bubbles of PINK CHAMPAGNE and the scent of flowers and floating balloons, we danced to the music of Bud Pressner and his orchestra. Withered flowers and date-signed dance programs fill many scrap books to remind us of a wonderful night in a beautiful world of enchantment. I hope they play our favorite song—Gail Duncan, Danny Santay.

Mariane Tegosik. secretary; John McNamara, On September 3, 1953 — 107 students enrolled as freshmen at Whiting High School. A look of wonder filled the eyes of each one of us as we began a new experience. At our first class meeting, Mr. Arnold Turner was introduced as class sponsor and soon after, class elections were held. Officers for our first year of high school were Gail Duncan, president; Martha Davits, vice-president; Donna Coppage, secretary; and Carolyn Collins, treasurer. In May our biggest activity was the Freshman-Sophomore Prom. June ended our first year at W.H.S. and in September, 1954, we became sophomores. Class officers for our sophomore year were Dan Santay, president; Carol Burman, vice-president; Carl Kristoff, secretary; and Gail Kozacik, treasurer. Under the supervision of Miss Mary Jeanne Weisen, our English classes enjoyed each other's company at a pot-luck supper — Spring Carnival . Some Enchanted Evening ended our sophomore year on May 26 as we danced beneath the stars that helped decorate the Girls' Gym. Our junior year marked the second half of our high school days. Class officers for this year were Nick Vischak, president; Carol Burman, vice-president; Rita Pishkur, secretary; and Jerry Ford, treasurer. Under their direction we sponsored the all-important Junior-Senior Prom on May 18, 1956. Pink Champagne was the theme chosen and it proved to be a tremendous success. At last we began our senior year. We knew that after this year our high school days would only be memories. Guiding us through this year were John McNamara, president; Ted Kotyuk, vice-president; Mariane Tegosik, secretary; and Tom Ledbetter, treasurer. The annual Junior-Senior Party, Starlight Hour, was held February 23. Then the never-to-be-forgotten prom in May. Next came class night and com- mencement which everyone had been waiting for. As we go through life, we shall always have these fond memories of Whiting High School. BRIDGET ALEXOVIC Bridge It may be said that she is quiet, But when you meet her she's a riot.

Whatever you would like to hoar just ask the most talented —Ronald Blasko and Carole Sharp. Those two Seniors are most likely to succeed in their class —Mary Ward and John McNamara. Ideal Arthur Murray has nothing on these two dancing seniors —Jim Yager and Bernice Jancosek. Popularity won them Carol Burman. I Never a dull moment when the wittiest of the class are around —Jerry Fcrd and Jean Borgetti. Seniors Any questions on just ask Don Turich and Phyllis Wajvoda. These best dressors are really sharp—Carolyn Collins and Jim 107 Macey. Always a hello from this friendly twosome —Mariane Tegosik and John Doran. It has been particularly interesting to watch you grow physically and to mature socially and mentally. After watching many of you squirm, whisper and giggle during the freshman year, it is amazing to watch you as seniors and to note the changes that have taken place — when boys become aware of girls some old problems are solved and, possibly, some new ones are picked up. The privilege of knowing each of you individually has been satisfying to me. In the committee meetings, I found many expressing ideas and showing abilities that had not come forth in the classroom — this type of activity, I think, is particularly desirable. The enthusiasm with which you have tackled various assignments, whether it be swinging a mop or preparing a speech, has been gratifying to me. If I may offer one bit of advice, let this enthusiasm and cheerful spirit continue throughout your lives. It has been my privilege to work with you. My best wishes for your personal happiness and success in whatever you undertake. —ARNOLD TURNER Senior Class Sponsor STILLWELL FURNITURE COMPANY 108 OWEN'S FUNERAL HOME 1450 119th Street MARY WARD Valedictorian TED KOTYUK Salutatorian With the average of 96.6 Mary Ward was honored with the title of valedictorian. Mary was chosen to be a Red Cross representative at Miami University in Ohio, in the annual leadership training camp. She also represented Whiting High School at Girls' State in Bloomington, Indiana. Elected to the National Honor Society in her junior year, she held the office of treasurer. Besides maintaining a high scholastic average, Mary also participated in such activities as band and orchestra. Girls' and Booster Clubs, and journalism. Receiving the honor of salutatorian was Theodore Kotyuk with the average of 95.6. Ted was chosen by the Coast Guard Auxiliary to attend the Coast Guard Academy during activity week in 1956. He also received a trophy in his junior year for being the athlete with the highest scholastic average. Keeping busy as an all-around athlete and a member of the W Club, Ted also found time to participate in Student Council and serve as vice-president of the senior class. He was a member of the National Honor Society and received three scholarship W's. CALUMET CAB COMPANY Uptown - Whiting 708 109 NEWBERRY'S 5 10 Are Made Of This prom flashed by, and here we sat — at the end of our high school careers. For the last time we were present as a class. Only time would tell what would become of each of us. Proud to be accepting our diplomas for finishing successfully four years of high school, we were also fearful of what this might mean. We were no longer care-free high school students. We were men and women with a responsibility. We couldn't help wondering whether or not we were prepared to accept this responsibility; but the smiling faces of proud parents, teachers and friends gave us the assurance we needed. June 5 — a red-letter day in each of our lives — we left Whiting High. Though we are gone, a little bit of each one of us will remain here. Each time we hear Hail, Sturdy Oilers, a lump will come into our throats and tears may fill our eyes; for we have taken with us not only our knowledge, but our memories of our most wonderful days — days at W.H.S. Our Last Memories On June 5, 1957, we took all our high school memories and wrapped them with a bow, for this was commencement. As the orchestra played the strains of Pomp and Circumstance and we took our seats in Memorial Gym, we knew this was the end of our high school days. But we also knew it was the beginning of a new kind of life. We had spent years perparing to face the world around us. Among 89 members of the class of 1957 were the leaders of tomorrow — doctors, teachers, writers, lawyers, perhaps even a future president. We thought of the days to come, but we also thought back to the days that had gone by so quickly. Only nine months ago we were beginning our last year of high school seemed to be written on the face of each graduating student. Where did all that time go? Classes and helpful hints that were passed on to us in classrooms flashed by on the screen that seemed to be painted before us. Memories of homecoming, the Whiting-Clark games, dances, the sectionals, parties, Bums' day and the Congratulations to the Class of '57 NORTHERN INDIANA PUBLIC SERVICE CO.
