School Campus Provides Student On a brisk, wintry morning, ambitious, bright-eyed students arrive at the Senior High Building and wait patiently, but eagerly, for the doors to open. As a student enters Oliver Street, he gains a panoramic view of the Whiting campus. At the beginning of the block are located the elementary buildings and the McGregor school building which serve the grade school children’s big- gest needs. The Memorial Gym is next in line. This was dedicated in 1950 and serves the students throughout various school functions such as basketball games to class night and graduation. The senior high building is located next to the gym. This is the second home of practically every high school student for four years. The library con- cludes the block with a center of all educational activity. The Memorial Gymnasium houses all student activities from basketball games to commence- ment exercises. Academic, Recreational Facilities The Junior High School Building con- tains the facilities most used by all WHS students. The WHS bulletin board, located on 119th Street and Oliver, serves as a daily reminder. - PTA MEETING 7 PM 10 ALL SPORTS BANQUET ST ADALBERT'S HALL 6:30 PM 7 Modern Facilities Aid in Studying The new studyhall in its preliminary stages. 8 A carpeted stairway leads to the modern facili- ties of the new library. The finished product awaits the usual studyhall activities. Graduation Closes '65 School Year As the graduation class of 1965 proceed to “Pomp and Circumstance”, an ever-lasting memory is en graved upon their minds. The long-awaited day finally arrives as graduates receive their diplomas. 9 Senator Birch Bayh addresses both graduates and audience at commencement exercises last June. A.M. Activities Begin Daily Routine Mr. Walter Ingle, attendance officer, questions Rodney Zech as to his reason for absence. The 8:15 bell is one that commands respect and quiet from all corners of the school. At this time all previous action is stopped and students rise 10 from their seats in their respective homerooms, stand at attention, and listen to “To the Colors” being played by buglers stationed throughout the school. This procedure is a daily and mandatory one, for it provides the one quiet moment in an otherwise hectic day. Students find that the Attendance and General Offices form the hub of activity in a school day. Both are the scenes of constant action and both enable the students to keep in the swing of things. Mike Geary and Howard Stross pay respect to the flag by playing ‘To the Colors’ . Mrs. Mary Brindley, office sec- retary, helps students with d-.’ily problems that arise. Girls Donate Services to School Concession Stand Workers FRONT ROW: Betsy Seman, Margaret Mayernik. Vivian Kertis. SECOND ROW: Barbara Ziara, Mary Ann Kark. Virginia Ruman. The time-consuming jobs of monitor, concession stand worker, and bookstore clerk are well taken care of by Whiting High School students. The duties of a monitor range any- where from making the daily half-mile trek to the classrooms, collecting at- tendance slips, to the tasty task of sampling some new concoction from the cooking class. During the hectic football and basket- ball seasons, the concession stand work- ers are kept busy catering to the hunger pangs of loyal Whiting fans. And, finally, receiving a small sum for their services, the bookstore clerks, who spend part of the morning and after- school hours selling school supplies that li are essential to any student. Stacking newly-purchased school books on tr.e shelves are bookstore workers Mary Ann Hapak and Pat Bielawski. Monitors Sitting: Barbara Bednar, standing: Mary Jo Strabavy, Diane Petro, Paula Tomera. Bridget Gorman, Deloris Huskey. As an “Enchanted Evening” came to a close, prom- goers gather for the Grand March. UneSoiree Enchante” Highlights On the evening of May 21, 1965, the Junior-Senior Prom, “line Soiree En- chante,” was held. This year the site was the Del Prado Hotel in Chicago. Cleverly decorated bird cages with scattered daisies were chosen as center- pieces for each table. Necklace charms were the favors that served as re- membrances. Couples dreamily danced to the strains of the soft music and were later entertained by the Del Prado dan- cers. After concluding the evening with hit musicals of Broadway, prom-goers truly believed in ‘one enchanted evening.” After the completion of a successful Jr.-Sr. Prom, class officers Jim Hora, senior president, and Dwight Jones, junior president, along with their dates, Paula Blastick and Helen Kubeck, pause to look over their hard work and efforts. WHS students prepare to sample the food of the Del Prado and relax after an evening of dancing. Social Life of WHS Prom-Goers The Del Prado entertainers bring to a close their presentation of broad way hits. Excitement, Tension, Spirit Mount As At six o’clock on Thursday, September 23, drums rolled, car horns beeped, chants were sung, and the excitement of an up-coming game drifted through the air. It was the beginning of the annual WHS Homecoming Parade. Each class and club had its share of work to do. The freshmen entered one car; the sophomores, two; juniors, three; and the seniors, three decorated cars and a float. After the parade and bonfire, the winners of the best decorated car and float were announced. The juniors took honors by having the best decorated car, and the seniors captured first place for best decorated float. 14 Spirited seniors put finishing touches on the winning senior float. Students spend after-school hours painting signs to boost the spirit for homecoming. A blazing bonfire warms the spirit of WHS students. Homecoming Festivities Draw Near Homecoming queen nominees, ■Jeannine DeCarlo, Linda Macko, and Jerry Zorich, eagerly await the exciting moment when one of them is chosen ’65 Homecoming queen. 15 Latin Club officers “crack the whip” fora Homecoming victory as they proceed down the street in the Home- coming parade.

Students... came to be Majda, Butkovich Attain Top Honors We, the graduating seniors, have reached the end of our high career. For us the opportunity to take part in the various extra-curricular activities at our school is over. Some of us have taken part in these and have excelled; others took part and didn’t excel; and still others have not even taken part at all. You under- classmen still have a chance to par- ticipate in dramatics, sports, or other activities. Don’t abuse this opportunity. The same thing holds true in your schoolwork. Daily preparations may seem a waste of time, but as a senior you will recognize its value and im- portance. If you work hard, however, success will be yours in whatever you do. George Butkovich Salutatorian We, the class of ’66, have completed our stay at Whiting High School. For us the challenge of modern society re- mains. Many of us will advance our education in college. Some will enter the hectic situation of the business world. Others, in serving our country, will fight and perhaps die in some foreign land. Whiting High School has prepared us for these trying developments of life. To the underclassmen their im- mediate challenge is to succeed in their present duties. These include athletics, academics, and other extra-curricular activities. They must remember the immortal words of John Donne—“No man is an island.” To participate in all phases of school life is necessary in preparing every student for the future. The most important idea of education is to determine a set of values which the student will strive to attain throughout life. I sincerely hope that all the students at Whiting take advantage of this oppor- tunity. Andrew Majda Valedictorian Senior class Officers Ann Bercik, secretary; John Horvath, president; Joe Pokraka, vice-pres- ident; Paul Laub, treasurer; and Mr. Norman Hall, class sponsor Seniors Bid Fond Farewell To WHS “Moments to Remember”—no other words could describe the four glorious years that the Class of 1966 has spent at Whiting High School. Looking back on our freshman year, we can see much uncertainty and shyness in the faces of all new arrivals. Chosen as the first leaders of our newly organ- ized student body were Reed Stockdale, president; Dwight Jones, vice-president; Linda Kiraly, secretary; and Ken Zubeck, treasurer. Chosen as class sponsor was Mr. Norman Hall. We held our first formal dance “Dream Into Tomorrow” which engulfed us in the whirl of social activity. Bringing us into our sophomore year, our officers, George Toth, president; Carol Soverly, vice-president; Linda Macko, secretary; and Mike Skvara, treasurer, organized a magazine drive and raffle in order to raise the money to help in or- ganizing class funds. We held our second formal “An Evening in Paris” on May 8, 1964, in the WHS social room. Our junior year was alive with activity. Preparations for our prom, “Un Soiree Enchante,” were made at the Del Prado Hotel in Chicago for the night of May 21, 1965. Active class officers were Dwight Jones, president; Carol Shackleford, vice- president; Priscilla Springer, secretary; and Don Wojnicz, treasurer. Our senior year has been but a dream full of fantasy. We began the 1965-1966 school year with the hope of making this year, our senior year, the best. But little did we realize how fast the time would fly. Before we knew it, we blinked, and the whole year had skimmed before our very eyes. Helping with commencement ex- ercises, officers John Horvath, president; Joe Pokraka, vice-president; Paul Laub, treasurer; and Ann Bercik, secretary, made our senior year one that we would always remember. Our last Homecoming arrived on September 24, 1965, and nominees Jeannine DeCarlo, Linda Macko, and Jerry Zorich were chosen for queen. On a brisk and nippy evening, amidst her tears and the tears of her fellow classmates, Jeannine was crowned by Don Wojnicz, Student Council vice-president, as the 1965 Home- coming queen. Now, as we look into our past, the prom, class night, and commencement linger in our minds as just a few of the “Moments to Remember”. 22 ANTHONY, Judy E. “Judy” Booster; G.A.C.; GirlsJ; Monitor.

Academics... A Fond Friendship Cherished By All Mr. George 0. Burman, former Superintendent of Whiting Public Schools, as he will be remem bered by us. The Date: December 10, the night of our basketball game with Gary Froebel. The Place: Whiting Memorial Gymnasium. Crowds of people were milling about, talking noisily, greeting old friends, and getting refreshments at the snack bar, while the minutes were slowly ticking away to the start of the third quarter. And then . . . silence ... as Mr. Ray P. Gallivan, Principal, approached the microphone situated near the score- keeper’s table. His announcement was one that dampened the spirits that had been so high just moments before. Mr. George O. Burman, Superintendent of Whiting Public Schools, had passed away. Golden memories instantly rushed into the spectators’ minds as they recalled his keen interest in and constant attendance at all athletic events. Now he was gone. He was a man of great dignity and unlimited kindness. Never a day went by when a student or teacher with a problem could not go to him and come away feeling better and having the problem partially, if not completely, solved. He loved us and understood us, and because of this, we, the students of Whiting High School, will always hold a special place for him in our hearts. Board Arranges for Modernization Board of Education Making plans for the school year ’ 65-' 66 are Mr. William w. Ciesar, secre- tary; Mr. Raymond P. Gnllivan, superintendent; Mr. Joseph J. Hapak, treasurer; and Mr. Joseph P. Pieters, president. 49 The Whiting School Board, Joseph Pieters, President; Joseph Hapak, Treasurer; William Ciesar, Secretary, were chosen by the Whiting City Council for three-year terms. They, meet twice a month to discuss problems that arise in the management and care of the school. The Board’s responsibilities in- clude: approving all staff appointments; raising funds for the cost of school improvements; and approving the annual budget. Their main objectives are to provide each student with the best pos- sible opportunities for education, and to see that educational facilities are func- tioning properly. The main goals of the Whiting School Board for the 1965-66 school year included the remodeling of the study hall and physics lab. Mr. Joseph McDonald, business manager, begins a busy day in the office.

Algebra students solve various types of equations for unkowns; while geom- etry scholars struggle through the fa- miliar set of assumptions and theo- rems. Advanced algebra and senior math, a senior subject, include the study of solid geometry, calculus, and trigonom- etry. Meanwhile, general business en- ables students to perform their gen- eral mathematical skills. Business math students demonstrate their skills at the board while Mr. Paulus looks on. With the help of Mr. Allen, Randy Braun and Nancy Dostatni solve a perplexing geometry problem. Mr. John sorota hands back cor- rected homework assignments to first period algebra class. Students Enter World of Business 57 Typing, Shorthand, I and II, general business, bookkeeping, and office prac- tice are just a few of the many business courses that are offered to all WHS students. Typing and shorthand are the only two-year business courses offered because they are basic to any future employment. General business keeps students informed of the business prob- lems that could arise and what the most probable solution would be. Bookkeeping and office practice provide experience for future filing clerks and office work- ers. The business course at WHS is indeed a very advantageous one which many students learn to value. Learning how to operate the ten-key calculating machines are Susan Hanyicska and Patti Puplava. Students Study Past to Present Mrs. Lentvorsky points out Alaska to American history students Dave Bodie and Nancy Zavesky. 58 American history is the source that answers the who, what, when, and why of inquisitive WHS students. Taught in the junior year, this course prepares the minds of the students for solving for future problems. It gives students full knowledge of the history of his own country and current events, while geog- raphy students explore landmarks, and learn about climatic conditions, popu- lation and industrial growth of the world. World history stu- dents Luis Rodriguez, Bob Lopez, and Susan Balutis make use of the globe during class. Whitingites Gain Political Outlook Preparing students for participation in business, politics, and government is the job that faces our civics and economics teachers. Through civics, students learn how to evaluate themselves as future leaders of our country. Economics is very much like civics in that it enables students to get an idea of the future, along with the future prob- lems that they may come face to face with. Mr. Buckley, economics instructor, discusses business trends with Sandy Dehenes. Students begin the day with the tradition- al salute to the flag. 59 World history students are completely absorbed in their daily lessons. Even though it is small in number, the WHS Latin Club is mighty in enthusiasm. The “ arena of events � � consists mainly of after-game dances, bake sales, car washes, etc. However, the most exciting spectacle of the year comes with the annual Slave Auction and initiation. At this time all the ‘ Freshies” wishing to join are sold to the older club members, and the “slaves” must then “serve” their re- spective masters” at the Initiation Banquet. At this dinner the initiates are subject to any type of “torture” their owners inflict on them. Nevertheless, this occasion is taken with good spirit, and it contributes much to the “ might- iness� � ''of the club. Class projects help Latin students John Pavlina and Valerie Thomas in their study of the language. 60 Students Break Language Barrier Those eligible for membership in the Spanish Club are the first and second year Spanish students as well as those who have completed the two year course. Highlighting the annual activities is the Christmas party at which the club president breaks a colorful pinata, which is then left to the mercy of the party- going members. Another yearly activity is an all-school dance. Acting as sponsor for the organization is Mr. Jack Taylor. Using the language lab which accommodates thirty-five students is now a fixed procedure in the study of Spanish. Miss Petersen's fourth period literature class listens to an original essay being read by one of the students. English Opens Doors to Languages Gayle Faulkner displays proper newspaper tech- niques in Mr. Kompier’s journalism class. Pantomimes play an important part in the develop- ment of speech as shown by students in Mrs. De Peugh’s first period speech class. Gross illiteracies, vocabulary, and public speaking face the students en- rolled in various English courses at WHS. Students become proficient in vocab- ulary and sentence structures in gram- mar, and gain valuable experience in public speaking in speech. Through lit- erature the student becomes acquainted with the history and the people of his native land as well as those from other lands. By taking journalism students become qualified to serve on the staffs of TATTLER and REFLECTOR. Whiting witnessed a big change in its science department this year when the new physics lab was installed. Desktops with logarithms inscribed on them, a Climatorium, and oscilloscopes are a- mong the new equipment which complete the lab. Specific gravity, accelerated motion, vector forces, transverse waves, and Boyles law compose but a small fraction of the new terms which physics students must learn to apply. Mike MoIson, Char Bailey, and Sonja Lunde examine new physics lab equipment. 62 New Lab Aids Scientific Feats Newly-purchased physics equipment is put to the test by Jerry Surdy. Timm Slota, and Carol Shackleford. Mr. John Sorota, physics teacher, reveals inner contents of modern lab cabinets to John Kristoff and Vicky Morando. Scientific Minds Meet Challenge Often detected by the odor on the third-floor hall of the senior high, chem- istry students can be found performing various experiments. In the one-year old lab, students are able to perform the latest experiments and learn chemical composition of matter. Biology students, aided by experiments in dissection, study plant and animal kingdoms and their classifications. Bi- ology, which was only offered to soph- omores, is now extended to an advanced course. Ranch' Gians and Kathy Ryan examine the bone structure of the wrist in biology class. Jody Bardos times his Science Fair entry to make sure it is in perfect running condition. 63 WHS ‘chemists’ Chris Ruroan, Kathy Kozacik, Lance Lugar, and Jean McDonald perform a difficult experi- ment during a typical lab session. I Ann Bercik and Larry Fritz study the heart and its proper position in the anatomy. Health Forms Strong Minds and Bodies Because of its importance, Health is required for all students who plan to graduate. Personal hygiene, anatomy, causes and cures of diseases, and first- aid are among the subjects covered in this one-semester course. Because General Science serves as an introduction to biology and chem- istry, it is required of all eighth graders • Mr. Thomas Kujawa, science instructor, ad- justs the microscope for Debbie Wood and Joe Yager during a class lab session. Creative Students Perfect Skills Bob Lopez puts finishing touches on his latest masterpiece. ’ An aristic student displays his talent with chalk during art class. 65 Tom Fortin, Ken Curosh, and Bob Kark learn to draw in scale in mechanical drawing. A general course in arts and crafts permits artistic students to be both creative and useful. Art students paint the backdrop for the stage and work on projects to present at local exhibits. Sculptering, chalk drawing, pencil sketching, and pen and ink drawings are some of the things taught in art class. Mechanical drawing teaches the art of putting a three dimensional object on paper in the form of a blueprint. Then by the use of precision instruments and skill, the object is produced from the blueprint. For the future homemakers of WHS, sewing and cooking classes are offered. These courses beginning on an eighth grade level are elective. The girls learn the art of preparing meals, basic principles in nutrition, personal hygiene, and cleanliness of the kitchen in the cooking classes. Future seamstresses learn the basic elements of sewing while an emphasis is placed on clothing construction, care of clothing, and choice of fabrics. Betsy seman pops her latest “culinary delight into the oven with Sandy Taylor, Susan Balutis, and Mary Eaves as admiring witnesses. WHS Girls Display 66 Domestic Talents Sandy Taylor waits patiently while Betsy Seman puts finishing touches on her most recent sewing assignment. Situated on the first floor of the senior high building are the three shoprooms which provide adequate equipment for those boys interested in pursuing vo- cational careers. Machine shop enables boys to work with the various types of complicated machines which will permit them to gain employment in that kind of job upon graduation. Wood shop is open to boys in both the junior and senior high and the course instructs them in the fundamen- tals or woodworking by means of nu- merous projects. The print shop boys learn the tech- niques of operating the school’s off- set press and other machines associ- ated with print work. Mr. Campbell shows Ed Miller and Andi’ Sotak how to operate the offset press. Shop Boys Train for Future Trades k Jim Lawson demonstrates his skill at cutting steel with the acetylene torch. Timmy Blastick and Steve Anderson replace tools after their sixth period wood shop class. Students Earn Scholastic Awards WHS students have many opportuni- ties to gain recognition for a special achievement. Sports-minded boys may receive a “W” for attaining certain athletic standards, while a Scholarship “W” serves as a reward for the dili- gent student. The Scholarship “W” is circular in form and each year’s is a different variation of green and white. The per- son who earns four Scholarship “W’s” receives it stamped on his diploma. To earn a scholarship “W”, a student must maintain at least a “B” average in every subject for both semesters of the school year. Three Scholarship W’s Virginia Ruraan, Barb Ziara.

Workers Keep School in Top Shape When one thinks of a maintenance staff, he associates it with just cleaning and scrubbing, but the maintenance staff of WHS is much more. Be it repairing or painting sehool property, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, or keeping school records and perform- ing duties by the office staff, these in- dividuals keep the school in top condition and give WHS students something to be proud of. General office secretaries Mr. Gladys Hardy and Mrs. Mary Brindley take time off from their duties for a coffee break. Cleaning Ladies Helen Chmielek, Mary Blincoe, wynona Mercer. Leona Markovich.

Working to keep the new library spot- less and orderly are the Whiting High School librarians. At the beginning of each new school year, it is the job of the librarians to check to be sure that all books are categorized. During the year, librarians aid the students in checking out books, lo- cating sources for book reports, and finally finding the books for confused students. Librarians also find summer work- shops to be very helpful in acquiring the talent to become librarians. Mr. Toth is the librarian. Keeping the movie room buzzing with feature films is the daily problem facing our audio-visual staff. Films from the local libraries, as well as out of town libraries, are obtained for the constant use of students and teachers alike. Workshops are also provided for the staff in which film arranging, sources of useful films, and current movies are studied. Mr. John Toth is sponsor.

Tour- ing hospitals in the Chicago and Calumet areas, listening to hospital represent- atives, and assisting national organiza- tions in their campaigns are among the functions of the club. Miss Mary Ann Mantich is sponsor of the Nurses Club. Cheering Students Boost Team Spirit Victory signs are one of the many projects of the Booster Club led by officers Dave Bodie, vice-president; Linda Dolato, president; Ruth Gorby, secretary; Sandy Denno, treas- urer; and Mrs. Hanis, club sponsor. 80 The purpose 01 the WHS Booster Club is to develop and maintain a high degree of school spirit in all planned athletic functions. The club members co-operate with cheerleaders on backing the teams by forming cheering blocks at football and basketball games. Sponsored by Mrs. Mary Hanis, the Booster Club, one of the largest in the school, has its main projects planning the Homecoming parade, sponsoring all- school dances, and placing an emphasis on sportsmanship. Carol Gians Reigns as Sweetheart Sectional Sweetheart Bonnie Stam, junior attendant; Linda Dolato, senior attendant; Carol Gians, sweetheart; Janie Curosh, sophomore attendant; and Harriet Taylor, freshman attend- ant. 81 Although newly introduced, the Whiting High Sectional Sweetheart is already a title treasured by all students. Booster Club members nominate three girls chosen for their qualities of school spirit, leadership, and personality. The title of Sweetheart may be given to a member of any class; however, attendants to the Sweetheart are chosen from each of the four classes. All benefits from the dance are added to the Booster Club treasury for sec- tionals. Reigning as Sweetheart was Carol Gians, senior. Members of her court were Linda Dolato, senior; Bonnie Stam, junior; Jane Curosh, sophomore; and Harriet Taylor, freshman. The Sweetheart received the tradi- tional bouquet of roses and the basket- ball autographed by the team. As a token of remembrance, this year’s Sweetheart received a charm. Mrs. Mary Hanis is the Booster Club sponsor. The throne awaits the crowning of a new sweet- heart as the moment draws near. Whiting Students Display Talent in Stage crew plays an important part in the all-school production “All Because of Agatha.’ “All Because of Agatha,” the first all-school play, was presented in the auditorium on November 19. By strange coincidence, November 19 was the date set for Agatha Forbes to return to Salem for her yearly house-haunting visit. How- ever, Agatha met with some difficulty this year because the new tenants, Duff and Joan O’Hara, refused to leave and were only fascinated by her appearance. The spells cast by Agatha and the humorous results provided an enter- taining evening for all those who attended. Much of the success of the play was also due to the fine work done by the stage, prop, and make-up crews. The behind-the-scenes work is an important part of any production, for without them, the show could not go on. Stage crew members Jody Bardos and Don Domsich put final touches on the set before the per- formance. School Play All Because of Agatha the annual visit of Agatha, the “ Your eyes are like stars,” sighed Flip Cannon (John Horvath) to Ethel Hastings (Linda Galambos) before his proposal of marriage.

Co-editors George Toth, Andy Majda, and spon- sor Mr. Kompier view the latest TATTLER. Delivering a satisfying school paper 90 to eager WHS students is the bi-monthly task that faces the ambitious TATTLER Staff daily. Under the supervision of Mr. Alexander Kompier, the TATTLER Staff operates various machines which help to produce the school paper. The Varityper sets the type, while the Head- liner provides headlines in various types and sizes. Even though this job may sound or look easy, many laborious hours are contributed to each publica- tion by every member of the staff. Proofreading, pasting, typing, and or- ganizing are just a few problems that staff members face daily. Sports writers Jim Bettner, Jerry Surdy, Ed Sandrick and sports ed- itor Joe Tapak proofread their sports stories. Linda Kiraly, Carol Shackleford and Edie Gibson, page editors; and Mike Skvara, associate editor, make last minute touch-ups before sending it to the press.

The actual work began during the summer at the Indiana University Year- book Workshops. There the editors plan- ned and developed the yearbook dummy and carried out the theme, “It Came To Be.” With the beginning of school, the staff, under the supervision of Mr. Alexander Kompier, the new sponsor, began its work at top speed.) Copy was written, ads were solicited, pictures were taken, and dreaded deadlines were surprisingly met.

This year fifty-seven boys took an active part in basketball and swimming. Intramural activities took place on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7 to 9 P.M. Several of the main objectives for having this program are (1) gaining better health through satisfying physical experience; (2) developing sportsman- ship, cooperation, and honesty in regard to rules, officials, and opponents; and (3) spending leisure time participating in wholesome recreation. The intramural program is under the sponsorship of Mr. Thomas Kujawa,who is assisted by an intramural board, con- sisting of four student captains. The intramural board serves as the coordinating link between the director and the individual participants.
