People play the vital roles in the memo- ries which will always live. They experi- ence the enlightenment of learning, the competition of athletics, the participation in activities, and the friendships of one another. The halls of Whiting will forever echo events such as decorating for the first formal dance, selecting a homecoming queen, cheering at sectionals, ordering class rings, and choosing committees for the climax of high school life—Class Night and Graduation. As each of us looks back on his high school life, whether it has just begun or is on the verge of completion, he can asso- cictig numerous events, personalities, and ices known internationally, nationally, nd locally with the time he has spent at Whiting High School. In the hope of reliving the past year’s events and capturing them for readers, the REFLECTOR staff of 1965 presents THIS IS OUR WORLD. rt Student Activities Center on Campus Whiting High School Memorial Gymnasium is the center of activities from freshman basketball games to commencement exercises. Day in and day out, students make use of library facilities to gain more information of their cur- ricular subjects. A visitor to the world of WHS students couldn’t help but notice that during the school year Oilers spend most of their waking hours on the Whiting High School campus. This campus consists of the junior and senior high buildings, the library, and the gymnasium. From eight A. M. until four P. M., the junior and senior high halls buzz with learning, the chatter of the day, and extra- curricular activities.. The gymnasium echoes the cheers and shouts of basketball games and Student Council activity nights. It witnesses the formality and tears of graduation and other special occasions. After school hours, students flock to the Whiting Public Library to broaden their knowledge of curricular subjects. The Junior High School, located at 1800 New York Avenue, provides educational facilities as well as a swimming pool for WHS students. Linda Macko, Carol Soverly, Linda Kiraly, Linda Dolato, and Jerry Zorich stop and chat for a moment before the start of their morning classes. Carol Walters takes a break between classes to tie her shoe. Lockers Collect Student Necessities Let it never be said that the students of Whiting High School are not physically fit. In what other way could students, day in and day out, trudge up and down stairs and along bustling hallways? To realize this strenuous walk, one must follow the path of a typical student. Stop and think! What object plays the most important part in the life of a stu- dent? The locker, of course! What would there be for a student to use as a collector for his clutter if it weren’t for his good “ole” locker. Only when one realizes the services of a locker will he know and ap- preciate its true value. With the sound of the 3:25 bell, students rush for home or extra curricular activities. 6 The sound of the 8:15 bell echoes through the halls and simultaneously Whi- ting students rise to pay tribute to their country and their heritage with the “Pledge of Allegiance.” The playing of “To the Colors” at this time adds to the patriotic beginning of every school day. Whiting students learn the character- istics of a good voter through government classes and an inspection of a voting booth and machine. Each room of the school contains an American flag, which serves as a constant reminder of the gift of freedom. Students Pay Tribute to 'Old Glory’ Merrill Kendall and Sandy Greenburg pause and pay their respects to the flag as Stanley Bialon plays “To the Colors.” Howard Stross and Stan Bialon add a patriotic touch to every school day with their playing of “To the Colors” at 8:15 every morning. Lakeside Fantasia Brings Fantasy The grand march climaxes the Lakeside Fantasia.' Rich Christiansen, senior class president, and Geo- rge Kucka, junior class president, pause while taking a stroll around C h i c a g o’s McCormick Place. to Enchanted Whiting Prom Couples “Lakeside Fantasia” was the theme that beckoned prom-goers to the Chicago Room of McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, on May 15, 1964. They danced under the setting of the Chicago skyline cast on moonlit Lake Michigan to the music of the Harry Branden Orchestra. Wes Harrison, “Mr. Soundeffects”, provided the enter- tainment during intermission. The Conrad Hilton caterers served the couples a candle-lite dinner, after which they departed for home and reality. Janice Brown and Tom Shackleford enjoy the dance music provided by the Harry Branden Orchestra. A remembrance from “A Lakeside Fantasia.” Prom-goers socialize dur- ing a break at the Jun- ior-Senior Prom, “Lake- side Fantasia.” Frosh-Sophs Present An Evening in Paris’ George Toth, Priscilla Springer, Emerson Kendall and Bonnie Banik depart from the social room after an Evening in Paris.” Once again last year as in years of the past, the freshmen of WHS attended their first formal dance of their high school years. “An Evening in Paris” was the theme of the Freshman-Sophomore Party as enthusiastic decorators transformed the social room into a candle-lit Parisian cafe. The partygoers danced to the different moods created by “The Ambassadors.” In their memories May 8, 1964, will al- ways be that of “An Evening in Paris.” EVENING IN Terry Justak and Linda Galambos pause to admire the decorations during the Freshman- Sophomore Party. The sophomore boys versus the sophomore girls in a volleyball match. Activity Night Provides Fun for All This year the Student Council activity night celebrates its fourth year of exis- tence. These activity nights, adopted in 1961, invite students to the Memorial Gym- nasium for an evening of fun and recrea- tion on one night a month from November to March. Students can enjoy activities such as basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, horse- shoes, cards, shuffleboard, badminton, chess, checkers, and dancing while social- izing with friends. The co-operation of the Student Coun- cil and the Whiting Athletic Department make this opportunity possible for all WHS students. Senior boys climax the activities of the night with a volleyball. Jim Kubeck yells for help as a school day’s load of books proves to be too heavy for him. Daily Antics of Oilers Prove Interesting GACOffers Sports to Athletic Girls Some senior girls practice their basketball skills in an after school GAC basketball game. The Girls’ Athletic Club offers sports- minded girls a well-rounded program of ac- tivities which includes volleyball, basket- ball, badminton, and bowling. By partici- pating in these sports, GAC members re- ceive points for various awards. Girls earning 700 points merit numerals, 1400 points a “W”, 2100 points a pin. The girl with the highest bowling average re- ceives a bowling award. G.A.C. Officers and Executive Board Jerry Zorich, vice-president; Linda Macko, board member; Gay- le Faulkner, secretary; Betty Dedinsky, board member; Diane Tegosik, president; Miss Judith Dvorchak, sponsor; Ruthe Thornton, board mem- ber; and Susan DePeugh, treasurer complete plans for the annual awards banquet. Ruthe Thornton Reigns as 1964 Queen A sigh of relief and happiness was all that remained of this year’s 1964 Home- coming, which officially began on Thurs- day, October 8, 1964, with the homecoming parade and blazing bonfire. During the half-time ceremonies of the Horace Mann vs. Whiting game, in which the Oilers defeated the Horsemen by a score of 19-14, Louis Narantic, Student Council treasurer, crowned Ruthe Thorn- ton as 1964 Homecoming Queen. After be- ing given a traditional kiss and a bouquet of red roses, Queen Ruthe reigned over homecoming festivities for the continua- tion of the evening. Surrounding the newly crowned queen are her at- tendants and their escorts: John Grenchik, Gail Mayo, junior attendant; Jim Hora, Diane Tegosik, senior attendant; George Vrabel, Ruthe Thornton, queen; Louis Narantic, Mary Kompier, sophomore attendant; Dennis Smith, Barbara Bubala, Fresh- man attendant; Randy Braun. Queen nominees Ruthe Thornton, Diane Tegosik, and Ramiza Roman anxiously await the answer to the question, “Who will be crowned queen?” Ruthe Thornton, 1964 Whiting High School Home- coming Queen. Exiting Parade, and Thrilling Victory The “Marching Oilers” provided a musical background for the colorful homecoming parade. The juniors tell the Oilers to “gush up a victory,” while 'they prepare to enter their prize-winning car into the Homecoming parade. The traditional bonfire adds to the spirited fes- tivities of homecoming. Homecoming Brings Queen and Court, Latineers portray the Homecoming football game as it would have been played during the days of Julius Caesar. To add to the high spirits of the occasion, the Fighting Oilers join in the Homecoming festiv- ities. The Homecoming banner officially announces the beginning of the Homecoming festivities f«r 1964. Top Scholars Head Class of 1965 As seniors we have now reached a mile- stone in our educational careers. Having been guided and molded by administrators, faculty, and counselors for the past four years, we are ready to embark on the next plateau of our lives. Of course, not all of us will attain mater- ial success; but everyone should succeed in achieving a sense of satisfaction and ac- complishment in knowing that each has done his best in everything he has tried. George Kucka SALUTATORIAN Soon the members of our class will be scattered to many different places. Not one of us is sure where he will be or what he will be doing in the future, but one thing is for certain: each of us will always have a part of Whiting High with him wherever he may be. The education each has received here will only be a start. One learns as long as one lives, and let us hope that our years in high school have prepared us to learn with every opportun- ity. If we have not achieved our aims in high school, it is not too late for us. Our time has run out, and some of us may have fallen short of the goals that we had set for ourselves when we started. You, the underclassmen, still have the time. Use it wisely, and prepare yourselves for the responsibilities our generation must face in the coming years. John Kender VALEDICTORIAN We, the Class of 1965, have not complet- ed our formal high school education. Some of us will increase our knowledge through more formal education; others, through on the job training. Whichever path we choose, may it be most benefical for us. You, W.H.S. underclassmen, still have time to make the most of your high school education. Use your time wisely, and you will be prepared for life after graduation. Settle for nothing but the best, and the best shall be yours. Thomas Woznicaka SALUTATORIAN He Will Live Forever in Our Hearts Mr. Henry Kosalko 1906—1964 A bruise, well-cared for and healed; a patrol belt, repaired and put on; a yellow attendance slip, written in a fine hand and given to a student, a word of encourage- ment whispered to a football player result- ing in a touchdown; all of these minute happenings in the lives of Whitingites will never be the same. It was on Saturday, December 19, 1964, that Mr. Henry Kosalko, trainer, Patrol Club sponsor, attendance officer, and foot- ball coach received his call to his eternal resting place. He had served Whiting High School well, and he will always be remembered in the hearts of all students and faculty members as a treasured friend and a “good guy.” Empty training room stands as silent bearer of grief. Students THIS IS OUR WORLD OF STUDENTS— a world in which maturity is the goal for which we strive by broadening our intel- Freshmen face a period of readjustsment for they must orientate themselves to a new type of situation—high school. Sophomores display more self-confidence il part of Whiting the new title which ors. They must now uegm tu set an cAampiC for the underclass- school year—the Junior-Senior Prom. Once again a haunting sense of insecur- ity exists, but this time among the seniors. They must set definite goals in life, and they must ask themselves questions such as “What opportunities are open to me?” and “What type of work am I really suited for?” Awaiting them is the climax for four years of learning and maturing—Gradua- tion.

C. All of these activities and many more were accomplished by your class officers and interested classmates who sacrificed count- less hours to make your high school years more enjoyable. As you leave the Whiting High School, you will realize that the years you have spent here have been some of the best years of your young lives. All of you have been exposed to the best preparation which our school has to offer. The amount of learning which you have achieved has de- pended on your individual initiative. As- sociations which you have made with ad- Vrabel, treasurer make plans for the class trip to Washington D.C. and New York. ministrators, teachers, and, especially, classmates will be remembered all of your lives. As you meet the problems of life individually, I hope that your high school preparation will provide you with all the wisdom that you may need. I have truthfully enjoyed working with the members of the Class of 1965. I shall be looking forward to hearing of your social and academic accomplishments. Your constant co-operation with your class sponsor has been greatly appreciated. My personal wishes for each member of the Class of 1965 are that you may con- tinue to exhibit an intelligent approach to all future endeavors and that you remem- ber with honest pride your years spent at your Alma Mater: Whiting High School.

The Whiting High School curriculum offers its students the oppor- tunities to participate in the events of these everprogressing times by offering them the latest education facilities. The college-bound receive training in the more advanced and highly technical fields such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, and the language arts. Those interested in entering the business world after graduation enter the course of business math, typing, shorthand, and office practice. The shop courses—print shop, machine shop, and wood shop—encourage boys who possess an interest in the manual arts to develop their talents and to decide upon their occupational choice. To prepare the future housewife for her role, sewing and cooking serve as some instruction. Questioning and eager minds, interesting subjects, long hours of study, teachers, and students compose OUR WORLD OF AC- ADEMICS. Board Improves Educational Facilities Board of Education Mr. Joseph J.

Awe to the grandeur and pomp that surrounds Julius Caesar, pry into the an- cient mysteries of Roman life, and marvel at ancient Rome itself. Every morning a group of WHS students exchange their ordinary school garb for togas. They do this by studying the basis of many modern languages, Latin. First-year students become acquainted with Latin and broaden their knowledge of ancient Rome by translating the adven- tures of two Roman boys, Publius and Fur- ianus. Translating Julius Caesar is the main challenge of second-year students. The translation of ancient legends and myths adds to their interest of Latin. Kathy Kozacik and Bob Kart act out the parts of Caecilia and Furianus in a Roman skit during Latin class. Mrs. Mary Hanis, Latin teacher, reviews the de- clension of haec domus and the conjugation of various verbs with the second period Latin class. New Lab Brightens Study of 'Espanol’ A visitor entering Room 210 might think that he has discovered a collection of creatures from outer space, but the ap- paratus they use isn’t an interplanetary communication system. These wierd beings are WHS Spanish students, and their strange headgear provides their passport to a knowledge of Spanish-speaking peoples. First-year students strive to master the pronunciation and pattern of Spanish, while second-year students learn to write correctly and effectively. The over-all goal of the three-year course is a general know- ledge of “el espanol.” Kevin Oliver searches through Mr. Jack Taylor's collection of tapes for a recording of Spanish songs. Mr. Jack Taylor, Spanish teacher, seranades his second-year students as they take time out for a bit of pleasure. Mary Kompier shows Ernie Walters the way that a Spanish-speaking person would say “hello.” First-year Spanish students listen and learn from the newly installed language laboratory. Pat Krahies delivers a report on current events to Mrs. Lentvorsky’s American history class. These textbooks serve as a guide to the world of social studies.

Students Take 180 Day Tour of World Susan Hanyiscka and Tim Carroll look on as Mrs. Marie Lentvorsky, American history teach- er, shows them the loca- tion of the battle of Lex- ington. She's the one,” shouts Bob Blevins to Sue Shaf- fer, as Bridget Gorman and Bonnie Banik look on in surprise while de- monstrating a panto- mime in speech class. Pupils Study Basis of English Language Mr. James Ulrich, English teacher, explains one of the important rules of grammar to Carol Gul- ley, while she studies for that important test. Mr. Komoier explains the meaning of iambic pen- tameter to Bud Adams. The ability to formulate stationary opin- ions and to express them clearly is a great help to one’s material success. In fact, one’s recognition of realistic and unrealistic ideas affects his well-being. The WHS cur- riculum brings out these ideas and devotes itself to the attainment of excellence in judging and expressing of opinions. Courses in English grammar and litera- ture teach the correct manner of expres- sion and reveal the backgrounds of the world’s most famous authors. Speech, which is offered in the sophomore year; Journalism, in the junior year; and Play- reading, in the senior year, add to the var- iety of the WHS English requirement. Biology Opens New World to Students Mr. Thomas Kujawa, general science teacher, explains an experiment to his eighth grade class as they conscientiously take notes. “Watch out for that crotalus adman- teus!” shouts a student. To those who study Biology, a crotalus admanteus is a dia- mond-backed rattlesnake.

Boys Receive Training in Manual Arts Paul Fowler and Mr. James Campbell, wood shop teacher, view Bill Box as he operates the radial arm saw while completing the finishing touches on his latest project. During print shop Matt Petrak and Jack Wilson learn the technical part of publishing on the newly purchased Multilith machine. The main objective of the industrial courses—wood shop, print shop, and ma- chine shop—is the development of neces- sary skills. To express himself, the young wood- working artist adds a personal touch to each of his creations. The prospective machinist develops the techniques of operating various machines and their uses, while printshop reveals the basic principles and history of printing. These courses in industrial arts give boys who are not planning a college edu- cation some training for future employ- ment. Joe Hruskocy uses an engine lathe to make a screw driver. Girls Develop Talents in Home Ec Class Diane Fowler demonstrates her sandwich-making ability in second period cooking class. Marlyn Hunt observes Joyce Taylor as she installs a zipper into her latest creation during sewing class.

Leading the Thespians are Mr. James Ulrich, co- sponsor; Bill Hardy, president; Sue Kovacik, treas- urer; Mr. John Toth, co-sponsor; Mike Kometz, vice-president; and Jackie Puskas, secertary.

AM 0 'rV THIS IS OUR WORLD OF ATHLETICS —a world in which one experiences the ex- haustion of a long practice session, the tension of a close game, the ecstasy of victory, and the agony of defeat. One can admire an athlete for his drive and stamina and for the records which he. sets, but few truly realize the full amount of effort which an athlete exerts. WHS football players tackle and tumble on the gridiron to bring honor to their school by the pigskin. The basketball team exerts its full capability of dribbling, pass- ing, and sinking another basket to raise the Oiler tally. Cindermen and swimmers dedi- cate their last ounce of energy to cross the finish line ahead of the others. All of the competitors, whether they are varsity athletes or participate in intra- murals, constitute OUR WORLD OF ATH- LETICS.

The businessmen of the Calu- met Region form a vital part of community life. They perform innumberable services such as cleaning clothes, repairing broken appliances, fixing shoes, and driving taxi cabs. Merchants offer people the opportunity to purchase the freshest foods, the latest fashions, and the most stylish coiffures at their convenience. Students constantly deal with these busi- nessmen who not only render their services to the community, but also support various school activities such as athletic events and music department activities. The REFLECTOR staff of 1965 extends its appreciation to the Calumet Region businessmen who made the production of this book possible.
