AS WE LEARN AS WE enter the halls of Whiting High School, we realize that academics will consume a major portion of our time. Six hours a day, five days a week, thirty-eight weeks a year, we are attending classes which will play a vital role in forming our futures. Whiting High ' s curriculum provides many out- lets for the intellectually curious mind. Many efforts are being made to modernize our courses and classrooms to keep pace with everchanging times. Students planning to further their education are provided with courses needed for entrance to college. Future mechanics and home-makers may pursue their interests in the industrial arts and home economics departments. The vocal music and art departments help students discover spe- cial talents. We quicken our minds, develop our talents, and begin our education toward our future ca- reers AS WE LEARN.

and Improve Facilities of Whether you made National Honor Society or finished at the bottom of your class, whether you made All-State or did not participate in athle- tics, whether you were elected to class office or defeated, whether you were considered a big suc- cess or just another member of the class of 1964 — what is most important now is that you grew into adulthood as All-American citizens of these United States. You can accomplish this by striving to build good homes, good churches, good schools and good communities. You all can dedicate your- selves to this end. Ray P. Galivan Principal Public Schools Problems of our school weigh heavily on the shoul- ders of the Whiting Board of Education. Like mighty Atlases, these men carry the Whiting Public Schools through every crisis — small or large. In spite of the closing of the print shop, they have made it possible for each student to receive a free copy of the Tattler. ’ The aim of the board is to see that educational facilities are functioning efficiently. They are in charge of everything from approving the annual budget to keeping the buildings in tip-top shape. Their main goal is to supply each student with the best possible opportunities for education. Raymond P. Gallivan, Principal ✓ 23
