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

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.

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.
