Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1959 volume:

Presented by The Reflector Staff Whiting High School Whiting, Indiana TABLE OF CONTENTS ACTIVITIES Page 16 ATHLETICS Page 48 PEOPLE Page 70 To the faculty and the students of Whiting High School, the 1959 Reflector is dedicated. We the staff, hope you will enjoy looking at the pictures and reading the copy as much as we have enjoyed producing them. To the underclassmen we leave a word of advice and that word is “try.” Try to make good grades; try to stimulate good will; try to uphold spirit. It is only when June draws near that the graduating class begins to realize the things they didn’t do. To the administration we leave a word of praise. A word that says, “Thanks for everything.” Thanks for showing us the right things to say, the best way to live. To all those who played a part in this stage of our life, we leave a hope and a thought for another day, another year, another graduating class. To these students we leave our scarred and slightly damaged lockers, the proms, games, clubs, books, but most of all, our wishes for successful years ahead. Good luck to all those remaining at Whiting, and remember to keep smiling and sing that school song for us one time. It is with great humility and much pride that we present Whiting High School’s 1958-59— Second-year shorthand students are taught new shortcuts in taking dictation. First-year typing class finishes up a timed writing. 4 dass learns operation of machines. Whiting High is equipped with many excellent facilities for student use. Courses offered for juniors and seniors in office training are shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, and office practice. The shorthand course is offered for two years. In this class students are taught to take dictation at the rate of 120 words a minute and to transcribe letters from their notes. Typing enables students to type at the rate of 55 words a minute, to write advanced business correspondence, and to tabulate and write business forms, manuscripts, rough drafts, legal forms, and statements. In bookkeeping students learn the basic fundamentals of accounting and how to keep legible records. Those enrolled in office practice study filing and other skills used in the business world. They learn how to operate the ditto, the mimeograph, and calculating machines. Looks like the power of concentration is being applied in the bookkeeping class. Why couldn’t we eat off paper plates? Jan Kiraly, I aiula Keith, and Jitnnty Beakley. Cooking is taught to develop an interest in better homemaking and better living. It teaches principles of good nutrition, meal preparation, and proper food serving. Time and money management are also taught. Those who take sewing learn clothing construction, color contrasts, and how to care for, choose, and use material. They also are taught how to sew simple and complex clothing patterns. The printing department offers all boys the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of printing such as setting type, proofing, correcting, locking up, and printing the forms. Related work concerns making layouts, stock cutting, English usage, shop mathematics, making linoleum blocks, padding, bookbinding and miscellaneous information or skills. The machine shop course is set up with two major objectives: one, vocational; the other, general. It trains a boy to go into a trade after graduation. Francis Dado shows off her newest creation as Alene Abner and Bonnie Sorrels look on.

Is it money or Tattlers? 7 Doug Ferry has a speaking engagement in first period speech class. The speech course is given to students as part of oral English. The main purpose of speech is to help students maintain, case and correct diction. Panel discussions, dramatics, and informal conversations make the class time interesting. Biology classes are taught to create better knowledge of living things about us. It aids students for future vocations in medicine and sciences. Activities of interest are microscopic study, dissection, and growth of living beings. The health class is offered to seniors for one semester. Studies of hygiene, diseases, and anatomy are studied during this class. Civics, one of the social studies, emphasizes citizenship and government, both in community and nation. Problems of cultural and occupational nature are discussed. Journalism is offered to juniors and seniors to learn basic fundamentals of writing. From these students, staffs are chosen to publish the school paper and the yearbook. JUNIOR JOURNALISTS TOP: Pam Greig, Betty Solyom, and Rita Thompson.

Senior Lois Foster solves an equation in third period algebra class. Classmates watch Joe Ventimiglia make a right triangle in sixth period plane geometry class. 10 Trig students practice surveying the land. Anthony Sabol, Henry Humenik, Bruce Webster, and Paul Grothouse. The higher mathematics courses at Whiting consist of two years of algebra—first year, advanced, and college—plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. These courses are preparatory for college. The geometry courses are aimed at helping the students think for themselves. Algebra is a study of functional relationships and equationsolving in algebraic symbolism. Trigonometry is the study of angles and their relationships to each other. With the knowledge of these subjects, a student is better prepared for advanced study in chemistry and physics. Chemistry, a science dealing with the composition of materials and the changes in composition which they undergo, is open to any junior or senior. Physics, open to only seniors, is the study of how things function. Chemistry and physics are requirements for many vocations. Einsteins of tomorrow develop ideas in chemistry class.

From the stands we cheer them on. Our next Academy Award winners for ’59 are Joe Ventimiglia and Maureen Wilkening. 15 Acttulftes Though ball games and favorite classes are looked forward to with much fervor and excitement, dances, plays, and assemblies are enjoyed as much by the students. These extra-curricular activities provide an outlet to the overabundant amount of energy teenagers have. At Whiting, students are fortunate in having the finest of everything to work with, and much time and forethought is given by the students to make all outside activities a success.

All members must have a “C” average from the previous semester. Officers are chosen at the beginning of the school year by council members. Committees try to solve school problems and offer suggestions which will aid the social program of the school.

Only a small percentage of a class may be chosen, and these few arc selected by the faculty. In order to belong to this organization, a student must have character, personality, honesty, reliability, promptness, and morality. A desire to render service, create enthusiasm for scholarship, promote worthy leadership, and achieve a “B” average are also requirements. Members are also eligible to compete for special scholarships. Those belonging to the National Honor Society have the admiration of teachers and students for accomplishing membership in NHS. Besides the traditional candlelight ceremony for new initiates, the NHS sponsors a dance every year.

Astonished and frightened, bashful Betsy runs under table as Catalpa and Cyrus watch. Dick and Kingston carry Augusta into the bedroom after her fainting spell. Curtain call brings much applause.

Kaye was engaged to Jeff Scudder, a medical student, but due to the influence of the East upon her she broke her engagement. Instead she was engaged to Kingston Campbell, a sophisticated Easterner. When Kaye’s family heard this from Cyrus Scudder, Jeff’s uncle, they were astonished. Later Kaye returned home for the summer informing them that the Campbells, Kingston and his mother, Augusta, were coming for a visit. Augusta was dubious about Kaye’s background. Meanwhile, Kaye’s family and friends prepared to greet the Campbells as full-blooded hillbillies. Kaye was visiting a friend while all this was going on. In the end Kaye broke her engagement to Kingston and became engaged to Jeff. Mr. James Ulrich was director, and Dan Gonczy, student-director. 23 “Wow, was that stuff strong!” exclaimed Ma after drinking it. Swinging partners to the Mexican hat dance are Carole Christiansen, Bruce Shimala, and Elaine Pardo, Ruben Pardo. South Americans have very old and quaint traditions, some of which, are learned in the two-year course of Spanish. The Spanish Club teaches customs of their way of life and shows the warmth of these people. The breaking of the pinata at Christmas is one highlight of the club. This is a bag hung from the ceiling filled with small gifts. Children surround the bag waiting their turns to break it and choose their presents. Much laughter takes place at the “Chili Bowl”—the basketball game between the first-year students, “burros,” and second-year, “tor-ros.” Girls watch the game cheering in Spanish and laughing at the boys in their Spanish costumes. Other activities of the club are the annual club initiation, school dances, trips, and parties. Mr. Jack Taylor is the sponsor of the club. As? E$ LOu AjAjOu Spanish Club Officers discuss new activities. Ron Gacsko, president; Barbara Muriyn, secretary; Joan Foster, treasurer; John Furiak, vice-president; and Mr. Jack Taylor, sponsor. Latin has always been the universal language and here at Whiting High it is offered to students for a greater knowledge of its history and culture. Through the Latin Club, Latin students develop an interest in Roman life and hold various activities during the year to publicize Roman traditions. The annual Latin Club banquet, where students initiate incoming members, is a big highlight of the year. Dressed in togas and laurel leaves, the Patricians lounge at the banquet tables as lowly Plebians serve their masters as slaves. The feast of boar’s head and fruits is usually augmented by Pepsi’s and other twentieth century food. The club also sponsors field trips, picnics, and all-school dances. “Gaudeamus Igitur” is the club song. When in Rome, do as the Romans do by demonstrating the latest helmets.

These boys practice safety rules to protect the lives of school children in good or bad weather. For this purpose, the Patrol Club of Whiting High School was organized. Boys are chosen on the basis of being dependable, trustworthy, loyal, and having leadership as well as willingness to serve the people. Members are awarded pins and bars for serving one year and a “W” for tw'o years. Perfect attendance all year earns a certificate. Club officers and the sponsor, Mr. Henry Kosalko, propose the names which the club votes on to determine which boys will receive the awards. Some activities of the Patrol Club during the year are school dances, parties, initiations, the annual picnic, a splash party, and a trip to a Chicago major league game. President Rich Pope explains basic rules of safety to Patrol Club officers: Larry Wilkerson, treasurer; Jerry Krzyston, secretary; Gary King, sergeant-of-arms; and Das id Sanders, vice-president.

Ideas and dreams were being formed in the minds of the new staff for the spring of 1958. Alice Davis, Leatha Dillon and Karen Hood spent two joyful but strenuous weeks on the campus of Indiana University, where they learned and brought home the main ideas of producing the best yearbook in the history of W.H.S. Once school started in the fall the framework, copy and art work began to take form. The whole staff participated in selling advertising. There were times of tension due to deadlines and times of laughter, due to a funny experience, but under the guidance of Miss Ane Marie Petersen the 12 members of the staff finally did what they, from time to time, believed was impossible. They finally finished the story of the year, the 1959 Dwight Sanders, Leatha Dillon, and Alice Davis prepare first page for 1959 REFLECTOR as Miss Ane Marie Petersen checks their work. REFLECTOR.

What suit shall I wear? These are some of the many questions asked by the freshmen before the Frosh-Soph Prom. This spring dance is one of the biggest activities of the year for the new recruits. Last year the Freshman-Sophomore Prom, held in the Social Room on May 17, was a grand sight. Couples glided across the floor to the music of the Blue Tones. The decorations clearly expressed the theme, “Twilight Time.” Blue and white streamers covered the walls and ceiling and the artificial stars glistened as the blue lights shone upon them. Truly the Freshman-Sophomore Prom was an affair to remember, at least for the Freshmen and Sophomores. Intermission and get-acquainted time for Freshman-Sophomore From couples Carol Brozanski, Walt Pav-likaski, Donna Beisal, and Phil Kowal.

Though wc may never reach Basin Street in New Orleans to see the fabulous Mardi Gras, we will have been to our own MARDI GRAS on May 9, 1958. Madura’s Danccland was the setting for colorful streamers, wind-blown confetti, floating clusters of balloons, and a sidewalk cate, where we looked upon an old woman peddling sweet scented flowers from her vendor. Across the way, we saw couples swaying to “Basin Street Blues,” played by Johnny Kaye and his Orchestra. All the bright colors went into making the 1957-58 Junior-Senior Prom, given by the Junior Class, one of the most colorful and enchanting proms ever to be presented at Whiting High. The MARDI GRAS was a big event and a great success since the prom is the only formal dance of the year. Cool, calm, and collected? Nancy Walker and Jerry Pauchak.

A Oumv Oi wW Alumni and students enjoy music of the Hal Morris Trio at Homecoming Dance. 45 The climax of any football season, college or high school, on campus or off, is Homecoming week. Plans for Homecoming festivities begin weeks in advance, money is raised, and committees are formed. This year at Whiting, Homecoming week began October 6. For the seniors it is the busiest time of the year besides graduation. Senior girls rush to get their skits written and parts learned for the assembly on Friday. The team works overtime to get their plays straight and their strategy working perfectly. The entire student body votes for the queen and each class votes for the girl they want to represent them in the court. This year Sue Smith was elected Homecoming Queen and was crowned by John Chomistek, Student Council and Senior Class president. Kathy Regan, senior attendant; Pat Krivacic, junior attendant; Janalee Schaffer, sophomore attendant; and Barbara Jo Sorrels, freshmen attendant, made up the court. Scene of the parade October 9 was 119th Street. Cheers and shouts of “Good luck, team!” filled the air. Senior girls dressed in their crazy day clothes were a sight to be seen piled in a convertible borrowed for the occasion from a Whiting High School alumnus. On Friday night, October 10, Whiting played host to East Chicago Washington at the Lake Front Stadium. Senior girls with mums and excited voices took great pride in cheering at their last homecoming game. When the final buzzer sounded, it was Washington 18, Whiting 0. With some disappointment, the team and fans went to the Homecoming Dance given by the Student Council and featuring the Hal Morris Trio. Homecoming week was over, and the seniors looked to the next big event. For the underclassmen there will be another homecoming, but the seniors will attend it only as alumni. For the graduating class of 1959, the 1958 homecoming will remain in their memories and be a part of them forever. 46 Taking pan in the Homecoming parade are Marlene Seto, Carole Lapaich, Nancy Walker, Joan Zunac, Janice Dvorscak, Peggy Mercer, Jerri Dunkcr, Roscanne Pokraka, Gretchen Goerg, and Beverly Sulo. Athletics In every student’s life lies an interest, slight or great, in his alma mater. Sports help make the interest and help hold it. For those who participate in our athletic department, awards are given and achievement is acknowledged. But for those who sit in the cheering section and yell for victory and clean play, no recognition is given. It is these students that sometimes hold victory or defeat in their hands. It is in these students that the spirit and good will of Whiting High is found. We of W.H.S. have great pride in our teams and it is now and in years to come that we say and will say that “Our team made the sports section.” Ou t Twttw QIum L QpVut Whiting grid-man Bob Punak is tackled by a Hammond Wildcat.

Good memories may compensate for all they may regret, but still not many students get all the education they can obtain from those four years that can not be relived. Opportunities unlimited are the gifts to those who make an effort in the early years of adulthood. High school can only help to prepare a student for the adult world. It can not foretell the future. In the years after graduation, we should be able to look on our high school years as the best years of our lives and be able to say that not a moment was wasted. “We know that our people made the headlines.” Among the many honors bestowed upon the students at Whiting High is the Betty Crocker Homemaking Award which was won by senior Nancy Walker. Daughters of the American Revolution Award goes to the outstanding senior girl chosen by her classmates and the faculty. This honor went to Gretchen Goerg. Joe Ventimiglia and Lois Lunde were named valedictorian and salutatorian of the graduating class at the close of the first semester. Coveted honors are being chosen as delegates to Girls' and Boys’ State on Indiana University campus during the summer before the senior year. These conclaves are sponsored by the American Legion, Kiwanis Club, American Legion Auxiliary, and the Lions Club. Class of 1959 members receiving this honor were Janice Dvorshak, Joe Ventimiglia, and Don Atkins. Joe Ventimiglia, valedictorian with a scholastic average of 95.12, confers with Lois Lunde. salutatorian with an average of 9S.96. Delegates to Girls' and Boys' State: Don Atkins.

Throughout the past four years at Whiting High School the class of 1959 has created an exceptional record. Whenever a task confronted us, we always were able to find somebody to do it.

We will always look back on these years as you, underclassmen, will realize when you come to the end of your four years. Beginning high school was the big moment! We were freshmen. There were many new friends to meet while looking for our rooms and lockers. When all was settled, we began the magazine drive to raise money for the class. Mr. Von Stoffer became our class sponsor to guide us through four years of high school. Election of class officers came. We chose as president, Roger Marsh; vice-president, Jerry Paucak; secretary, Dolores McBrien; and treasurer, Tom Kalmas. Homecoming was a big event and representing the class as attendant was Dolores McBrien. Clubs, dances, the Sub-Deb, and homework filled the year; the only shadow hovering was death of our beloved assistant-principal, Mr. Joseph McAdam. Mr. E. L. Watkins took his place. “Moonlight Memories” was the theme of the Freshman-Sophomore Prom which brought the year to a close. Sophomore year we weren’t so rushed but studies became harder. Something new was added. Mr. George O. Burman became superintendent and Mr. Ray P. Gallivan became principal. Our class officers were president, Joe Ventimiglia; vice-president, Lois Lunde; secretary, Roseanne Pokraka; and treasurer, Paul Soucv. Homecoming attendant was Mary Alice Daley. The year went by quickly. Soon we had chosen and received our class rings, which we wore with pride. Another tragedy came with the death of our classmate, Bobby Gemer, who was killed in an auto accident. We have kept his memory close to us as we went on our journey. In our junior year, we became a part of everything in school. Glass officers were president, Sharia Hughes; vice-president, Jerry Paucak; secretary, Don Adkins; and treasurer, Alice Davis. Our homecoming attendant was Betty Janek. Next came the trip to Washington, D.C., where we gained knowledge plus a wonderful time. On May 9, the Junior Class presented the Junior-Senior Prom, “Mardi Gras,” held at Madura’s Danceland. Music was played by Johnny Kaye and his orchestra. We ended the year to begin a new one. Senior year, the end of our journey, was the year we will never forget. Class officers were president, Johnny Chomistek; vice-president, June Valentine; secretary, Roseanne Pokraka; and treasurer, Jerri Dunker. The best times we had were “Senior Crazy Day,” when all the seniors wore old clothes and crazy shirts, and homecoming with all the planning and decoration for the float and assembly. We elected Sue Smith as our Queen and Kathy Regan, her attendant. We enjoyed the Halloween party, the Christmas party, and the Junior-Senior party where we laughed and had so much fun. Bums’ Day came and the seniors put on the assembly for the school. Our Class colors were blue and silver; our motto, “As We Are, So Is Our Nation;” Class flower, pink roses; and Class song, “While We’re Young.” Finally, class night, where we left these events with you in hope you had journeyed with us. Commencement night we could look back on these four years but couldn’t stay. 80 ftt $A t jbnjuCiiMJ Bob Gemer November 11, 1940—May 25, 1957 A part of the class of ’59, You were a friend to all. The memory of your face and smile Still linger in the hall. The last time that we saw you Was on a day in May. How were we to know that You’d be going away? Your memory is a keepsake From which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping; We have you in our hearts.

Burman, superintendent; Mr. Joseph Hapak, secretary; Mr. John I. McNamara, president; and Mr. George Harangody, treasurer. B Mwl Ofr Bducatioiv To see that the students of Whiting High School receive the finest educational opportunities is the main concern of the Whiting Board of Education. “The students make the school. Without them the faculty, board, and administration would have nothing to work for,” remarked Mr. George O. Burman, superintendent. Along w'ith providing proper educational opportunities for the students, it is the job of the school board to see that the school is adequately equipped. The board, elected for three-year terms by the Whiting City Council, meets twice a month to discuss the problems which arise in the management of the school. Meetings are conducted by John I. McNamara, president. Other members include Mr. Joseph Hapak, secretary, and Mr. George Harangody, treasurer. Other responsibilities held by the board are to see that all the bills are paid and to work out a program for the care and management of the buildings. The faculty, administration, and school board work for the students. Their motto is “Only the best shall be given the students of Whiting High.” 94 The superintendent of Whiting City Schools is Mr. G. O. Burman. Before Mr. Burman was appointed superintendent, he was principal of Whiting High School. He originally taught math and social studies. It is the superintendent’s responsibility to administer the policies that are approved by the Board of Education. Mr. Burman also has the job of recommending repairs for the school, appointing teachers, seeing to the needs of the school and all changes in curriculum, and the setting up of objectives for students as well as teachers. He attended Northwestern and Indiana Universities, holds Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Science degrees. As superintendent of the Whiting Schools, Mr. G. O. Burman is a member of the Indiana State Teachers Association, American Association of School Administrators, and National Education Association. He has served as president of Northern Indiana High School Conference and Lake County Principals. The principal of Whiting High School is Mr. Ray P. Gallivan. Some of his jobs are to maintain the routine operation of the school, to keep it organized, effictent and disciplined. He sees that the curriculum keeps pace with the ever changing world and that a high morale is maintained for both teachers and students. Mr. Gallivan attended the University of Illinois, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree, and Indiana University, where he received his Master’s. Before he became principal, he was athletic director of Whiting and boasts two state championships as football coach. His first job at Whiting was in 1923 as timekeeper for the construction company that built the Junior High building. Mr. Gallivan also served in the United States Coast Guard and holds the rank of commander. Mr. E. L. Watkins, assistant principal, is one of the most important persons in the administration. Often taken for granted, the vice-principal has many duties which are helpful and necessarily not known to the student body. He advises students on their careers, obtains literature for seniors planning to attend college, and arranges scholarship tests. He is also head of Whiting High’s extensive guidance program. Mr. Watkins takes charge of audio-visual aids. Much attention is also given to the stage, where he assists. Attending Northwestern, Indiana, Lawrence, University of Illinois, and the University of Wisconsin, he obtained his Bachelor of Arts and Master’s degree. Mr. Watkins has taught for 32 years, the last three of which he has served as assistant principal. 95 Secretaries in the Junior and Senior High offices always have a full day’s work ahead of them. Such duties as registration, keeping school records, typing, helping the faculty and students are among their duties. The Maintenance Department has a great responsibility for the upkeep of the school. Many hours are spent cleaning classrooms and hallways. Keeping the building heated and safe from fire hazards is another important job of this department. Secretaries check class lists during the day Mrs. Gladys Hardy, Junior High; Mrs. Lucille Rollison, Senior High; and Mrs. Robert Kainc, Superintendent’s Office. SfiC tefccwies om j All in a day’s work with a lot of business for Mrs. Dorothy illiams, Bookstore Clerk, and Mrs. Hazel Moore, Business Manager. 96 One might hear Mrs. Josie Quandt, Head Janitress, and Mr. John Bodney, Maintenance Supervisor, say, “The school must go on.” P CuIkty J.

Sullivan Counselor At Law The young people you see in these pictures are all on their way to successful careers in one of America’s basic industries . . . steel. They decided (as we hope you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help them plan their future. Some are gaining knowledge and experience in special trades to become journeyman machinists, carpenters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing lines. Still others are working in laboratories building a sound foundation for a future in steel research. Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent opportunity to further his education. Employees may participate in a variety of on-the-job training programs, or they can continue their formal education by registering for evening courses offered by local Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers. Plan now to investigate the unlimited opportunities for you in steel . . . with the midwest’s own steel company ... inland steel.
