But just as we shall leave a part of ourselves here, we shall also take a part of Whiting High with us into the world. We have been prepared to enter societx as useful members. We are no longer children; we are men and women. The preparation that we have received has made us capable of making more decisions for ourselves. Soon our ability to make decisions will be tested. The results will not be measured by percentiles or letter grades; they will be measured by our personal achievements. These achievements will determine our success in life. We must remember that success is a relative term and cannot be defined easily. Kach person must define success for himself and then strive to meet these personally set specifications. With God's grace and our own perseverance, the Class of 68 will become one of the most successful groups ever graduated from Whiting High. Martin Sabol Valedictorian Martin Sabol. valedictorian. I wish the best of everything to all at Whiting High School. May the years spent here give you not only an academic education but also an insight on becoming a better individual and member of the community. Success comes in many different forms—fame, power, wealth, or happiness. Always let a high regard for others govern your actions, and you will gain success in whatever form you desire it. Vallorie Thomas Salutatorian 70 Vallorie Thomas, salutatorian Fond memories of four years recalled 1968. This year symbolizes the achievement of our goal—graduation. Although we have struggled through the usual hardships of all high school students. we have also reaped our rewards. Each year as we grew older, we found ourselves recalling both the childish and the unusual experiences we had previously gone through; reliving them with fond memories. Mow, as seniors, we are busy preparing for graduation, thinking seriously about college and eagerly awaiting the future. Right now, let’s recollect the year 1964. Do you remember . . . As freshmen, everything was novel and exciting. For the first time in our lives we were really a part of the Homecoming festivities, ball games, school dances, girl watching, etc. Election of our officers, Greg Murzyn, Randy Braun, Nancy Dos-tatni, and Jim Kubeck, made us feel “part of things. Our freshman-sophomore party, entitled “Rainbow Fantasy” featuring Rich and the Revere s was the highlight of the year. The traditions of W H S. became more familiar to us as sophomores. Led by class officers, Dan Bias- tick, Laura Bachurek, Nancx Dostatni, and Shirron Wilson, we began to build our reputation as the greatest class W. IIS. has ever seen. Our junior year held both the distinction of our being upperclassmen and the inevitable responsibility of successfully creating the Junior-Senior Prom. Although our prom, entitled “A Many Splendored Thing held on May 12 at the Scherxvood Country Club was clouded by gas siphoners, it was worth remembering. Music was provided by the Norm Rogers Orchestra. Linda Warren, Fd Negovetich, Diana Demkovich, and Mike Brezene were chosen class leaders. Finally our senior year has arrived. No matter how busy we are, nothing can erase the memories gathered during the “four happiest years of our lives. It seems so long ago that we were carefree freshmen, but now we are independent seniors and we are hastily becoming the leaders of tomorrow. Let us put together all we have learned to make the world proud of us. We have the material and we will make it useful!
