Problem of Reorganization in Whiting Area Mr. Ray P. Gallivan, Principal: Junior-Senior High School. During the past year the possibility of re- organization of Lake County Schools has oc- cupied the attention of Whiting School Ad- ministrators. A new plan for a single county of schools has been proposed and will be sent to the State Commission soon. The basic purpose of the Reorganization Act of 1959 is to set up the legal machinery to enable citizens in each county to study their own school organization needs and to institute the changes they believe necessary for improvement. This law greatly effects the lives of every person in this community. Mr. G. O. Bur- man, superintendent, and members of the Board of Education have taken a strong stand on this controversial question. They oppose reorganization that will rob Whiting Schools of their identity.

You should feel great personal satisfaction in having completed requirements for grad- uation. Through the combined efforts of your government, your parents, and the faculty and administrators of Whiting High School, you are going to face the future with open minds and a truer picture of people and the world around you. The world you live in is constantly chang- ing, demanding more knowledge, more tech- nical skills, more tolerance, and more under- standing. Your generation is no longer the foundation of our great nation alone, but of the entire world. Whatever your next endeavor is, give it your best, and take a positive approach to the future. Good-luck! George O. Burman Superintendent
