Modern labs aid young scientists The recent installment of new laboratories has given the science students of WHS a better chance for scientific research. Coronary thrombosis, scurvy, and manic depressive psychosis are familiar terms to all who have completed freshmen health. Dissections and leaf collections prove a challenge to sophomore biology students. The effect of science on today’s living is taught in general science. Junior chemistry students are introduced to basic elements, lab experiments, and formula equations. Leaning more toward college preparatory chemistry, the advanced chemistry class concerns itself with qualitative and quantitative analysis. The discovering of grouped unknowns gives future chemists experience for later science courses. Mechanics, heat, electricity, light, and sound are stressed in physics. Offered to all seniors, physics deals with the science of matter and motion. An explosion and a cloud of dark gray smoke are the end results of a tragic experiment performed by advanced chemistry students Tim Klosek, John Sandrick, and Dan Schlegel. Shown handling the photogenic little gerhils are biology students Joan Kristek and Ron Hart. 27 Languages accent foreign interests Whether it’s “buenos dias” or gut morgan,” students agree that language plays an important role in Whiting High School’s curriculum. In the language laboratory students incorporate basic dialogues, practice patterns, and verbal conjugations. Tape recordings are used to perfect the vocal and audio portions of language learning. Spanish, offered for four years, is taught by Mr. Jack Taylor. Through the use of Spanish and Mexican folk songs, records, and filmstrips, students come to realize that language is extended outside the classroom situation.

Grammar and literature are required for all freshmen in order to acquaint them with English fundamentals. Speech, accentuating public speaking, pantomimes, and debates, is offered to sophomores. Journalism prepares juniors for a position on either publications staff. Thurber, Frost, and other authors become familiar names in American literature. Senior literature students study the works of English writers, stressing the plays of Richard Sheridan and Shakespeare. The requirements of a term paper and notebook make rhetoric mandatory for all college-bound seniors. Alice in Wonderland is dramatized by Sue Stasko in her book report for speech class. 29 Constitution papers stress civic duties “When in the course of human events . . .” Whether studying the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Bights, Whiting's government classes prepare future adults for their roles as civic leaders of tomorrow. Both freshmen and senior civics are mandatory courses for all students. The history and present-day functioning of a democratic nation are detailed so pupils will realize the meaning of citizenship in their community. World history deals with facts from the cavemen to the spacemen. It is now required for all sophomores. Valley Forge, Bunker Hill, and Jamestown become familiar sites to American history students.

John Ilapak explains the basic human rights listed in our Constitution to history classmates. Civics students marvel at U.S. documents. 30 Aspiring artists “brush up” on talents “Individuality through expression” may be considered the theme of Art Department of WHS. Students use varied devices in order to express their unique thoughts. Paints, and oils the clay, fabrics, serve as tools to convey beauty of art. During the Christmas season the art students decorate the junior and senior high building with elves, snowmen, and stained-glass windows. A favorite project of all amateur artists is the molding of clay. After being shaped into a specific-form, the clay is baked in ovens and later painted. Whether painting basics like landscapes or portraits, or creating a new design of pop art, students agree that an art class is not only relaxing, but it is also essential in self-expression.

Cheryl Mohr and Bob Maicher spread Christmas cheer by decorating a life-size candy cane. 31 Practice increases business skills Carol Mika explains to Bill Tobias some of the fundamental rules of bookkeeping. Whether one is planning a future as a secretary or as a college student, WHS offers a variety of business courses to meet the demands of all. Typing I and II emphasize speed and accuracy by using timed writings and daily assignments to encourage errorless typing. Speed writing is the main goal of all Shorthand I and II students.

Students learn the relation of fractions, addition, and decimals. Word problems are set to figures as Carol Michalak finishes an assignment. Intense concentration prevails as first year students strive for perfect typing. 32 Craftsmen take on new dimensions WHS students acquire new skills through machine shop, mechanical drawing, woodshop, and printshop. Sans serif, Roman, and boldface become familiar terms to print-shop students. The printing of the TATTLER is their most important assignment. Mechanical drawing enthusiasts prepare for a career in engineering by exploring the development of drawing. The newly remodeled room enables future designers to apply correctly those principles they have learned. In woodshop class amateur craftsmen learn the art of wood working by emphasizing accuracy and ability in each completed project. Machine shop strives to perfect individual craftsmanship and stresses the parts and functions of machines. John Protolipac begins a new mechanical drawing after reviewing the basic rules. Created by industrial art students, plastic designs are put on display for viewing. As he uses the electric Sander. Ron Bach is watched closely by two other woodshop students. 'Ml Summer session provides extra learning For many students, summer is a time for daily excursions to the beach or just late sleeping. But for over 200 Whiting students, summer gives them a chance to earn extra credits or perfect themselves in athletic endeavors. A course in driver's education gives students a first-hand opportunity to view the responsibilities in driving. Through eight hours of actual driving, students discover their mistakes in a dual controlled car. The classroom situation stresses driving rules and safety precautions. Cym classes offer opportunities to students of all ages to keep physically fit through swimming and game-playing. All football enthusiasts spend long hours under the hot sun in preparing for the grid season. A Drivers Training student cautiously approaches a stop sign. Supervised by Mr. Kujawa, Debbie Shaner learns the fundamentals of safe driving habits. Practicing for the rough season ahead are Whiting’s gridiron eleven. Muscles limber through gym activities Whiting’s gym classes not only stress the importance of physical fitness, but they provide a pleasant recreation period for all students. A new policy was enacted this year concerning gym class. Instead of requiring physical education for grades 9 and 10, it is now mandatory for only freshmen. However, this course is taken the full year instead of the previous half year. Swimming, basketball, square dancing, volleyball, and calisthenics varied the schedule for the girls’ gym class. The boys’ gym class consists of playing conventional games, sports, and some weight lifting. By emphasizing good health habits, the physical education department stresses the importance of keeping one’s self in good physical condition. Swimming plays an important part in the physical education program of Whiting High girls. Squaredancing is the new addition to the regular activities of girls physical education classes. “Happiness is a good game of volleyball”. A daily part of boys’ gym classes consists of supervised calisthenics. Courses benefit future homemakers Pam Walters displays the feminine technique to “chefs Joe Baczynski and Larry McDonald. Sewing is a favorite pastime among many students. ‘‘Hm-m-m-m-, what’s cooking?” is the common expression exclaimed by hungry students as the aroma of freshly baked pastries fills the halls of WHS. The goal of the cooking class is not only to learn the basics of culinary delights, but also to plan nutritious meals for the whole family. Up-to-date kitchens make the job of baking easier for the boys and girls enrolled in this course. In clothing and advanced clothing classes, students are taught the essentials in creating individual fashions. Designing, fabrics, and textures add to the interest of sewing. By assisting the girls, the home economics teachers strive to develop the future homemakers of tomorrow. After finishing her “masterpiece in sew ing, Debbie Mercer applies the final touches. “Anyone for some cake?” ask cooking students Paula Shockev and Marsha Monocchio. Academic achievement rewarded with “W Just as an athlete is given a “YV” for his efforts on the grid or the court, so the student of Whiting High School is also rewarded for his academic achievements in the classrooms. A Scholarship “W” signifies that the student has completed one year of schooling with no grade lower than a “B on his report card.

Juniors and seniors from Clark and Whiting divided the afternoon in visiting two colleges of their choice. With representatives from ten Indiana and Illinois colleges present for the activities, students were given the opportunity to ask questions concerning financial aid, tuition, and entrance requirements.

The (acuity and administration of Whiting High School was involved in an extensive self-evaluation during the spring and fall of 1968. This self-evaluation is a periodic check that is necessary because Whiting High School is a member of the North Central Association of colleges and secondary schools. In October of 1968 the N.C.A. sent an eleven-man committee to evaluate the self-evaluation. The results of the evaluation were made public at the National meeting of the N.C.A. in Chicago in March of 1969. Mr. Jesse Allen, head of the mathematics department, was the chairman of the teachers’ steering committee. Both the administration and the faculty thought the evaluation proved very constructive.

Through dances and parties the Physics Club helped to make entertainment one of its major objectives during the course of year. John Whiting and Roger Yates calculate the necessary Physics problems on the board.

Taffy appl es bring profit to FTA Through the helpful guidance of Mrs. Jane DePeugh, the Future Teachers of America completed a very profitable year. Taffy apple selling every Wednesday aided in financing the FTA’s trip to Milwaukee. The tour through Marquette University allowed students to view one of the nation’s most beautiful colleges. Cadet teaching is offered to those juniors and seniors who would like to see an inside look at a teaching career. The girls not only-aid in grading papers or decorating bulletin boards, but they are also given a chance to do actual teaching under the supervision of an elementary teacher. The FTA is open to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have a “C” or better average and are interested in teaching. 1 TA Officers—Mrs. Jane DePeugh. sponsor; Mary Kay Buckley, treasurer; Mary Ellen Dixon, president; Judy Kovacik, secretary; Joann Skvarek. vice-president; and Irene Bcr-cik, social chairman.

Journalists combine efforts in TATTLER Volume 48 of the Whiting High School TATTLER was completed in June, 1969. During this year it has kept the students informed of coming events, current affairs, and WHS gossip. The TATTLER staff presented several special issues during 1969. A six page Christmas paper and an April Fool edition highlighted the staff’s presentations. One of the jobs of the TATTLER is to prepare stories to be printed in Hammond’s THE TIMES and Whiting’s TIMES-GRAFIC. Much of the paper’s success is due to the helpful suggestions of the sponsor, Mr. Alex Kompier. Eileen Seman and Susan Michna are shown preparing headlines. Sandi Hanyicska, Nanciann Emmerth, Linda Tunstall and Diane Young prepare layouts for the first page. 54 Phyllis Jancek. Janet Oster and Kathy Masura scan other papers for new ideas.

REFLECTOR hails sights, sounds of 69 “IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR . . . for the REFLECTOR” was the unanimous opinion made by the 12 staff members who helped to make 1969 a memory. The 1969 yearbook first had its inception in July when the coeditors spent two weeks at the journalism institute at Indiana University’s Bloomington campus. New ideas wrere polished and journalistic methods were perfected to make the 69 REFLECTOR one of Whiting’s best. Tired feet resulted as the staff ambled down 119th Street in the process of selling advertisements to Whiting’s merchants. The hard work proved worthwhile as the yearbooks arrived to display ...

Miss Roseanne Jakubowicz brought new ideas to VVHS’s music department. As part of the Christmas assembly, the Girls’ Chorus presented “Up With People.” National patriotism was stressed through songs, dances, and narration. Teaming up with the Thespians proved beneficial as “Bye, Bye, Birdie” was made into a successful stage presentation. The Girls’ Glee Club also sang at civic functions.

A “C” average must be maintained in order to be chosen cheerleader. New faces and new routines made this year’s Oilerettes a bigger and better marching group than ever before. “Rat Race” and “Watermelon Man” were just two of the many routines performed during half-times of the basketball and football games.

For over 35 grid enthusiasts, August 15 saw the start of WHS’s football season. Despite 90° weather, players, with the desire to win, perfected new plays in hopes of a winning season. The defeat of highly ranked Lowell Red Devils started the Oilers with a determined spirit. Wins over ECVV and the Morton Governors constituted Whiting’s other football triumphs. Oiler grid stars were acclaimed by various groups. Tim Klosek was chosen Whiting’s “Most Valuable” player, THE TIMES’ all-area halfback, and was given the Elks Club award for “Outstanding Player” in the Clark-Whiting game. The winner of Whiting’s “Mental Attitude award, John Sandrick, also placed on THE TIMES’ all-star team. Other Oiler representatives were Emil O’Drobinak, 2nd team, and Don Etter, honorable mention. Despite the 3—7 record in 1968, Coach Zubeck is optimistic about ’69. With all the experienced let-termcn returning, W’HS should have a profitable year.

New ideas and different approaches resulted from Whiting's administrative transition during ’68-’69. Joseph P. Piatek, formerly principal of the Primary-McGreg-or Buildings, was promoted to the position of principal of the Junior-Senior High School. Succeeding the retired Raymond P. Gallivan, Stephen B. Fowdy became superintendent on July 1, 1968. Aided by James B. Buckley, assistant superintendent, Mr. Fowdy added new’ subjects to the curriculum and completely revised the class scheduling. By the request of the administration, an NCA (North Central Association) evaluating committee examined the functioning of Whiting High School. The results were made official at an NCA meeting in May. The School Board, consisting of Wayne East, John Santay, and Joseph Hapak, witnessed the completion of the remodeling of the auditorium during 1969. Plans presently arc underway to redecorate and fully refurnish the biology room and laboratory. In addition to adding improvements to Whiting High School, the administration and school board have combined efforts to give the students and citizens of Whiting.

Homecoming became an unforgettable day for Rachael Jones who was elected junior attendant. In order to raise money for the prom, a combination TV-radio was raffled. The lucky winner was announced at the post-prom party. On February 15 the student body chose Irene Bercik as the junior attendant to the Sectional Sweetheart. The Longwood Country Club in Dyer, Indiana was the site of an evening of glamor and excitement as “Candlelight Memories” became a reality. “The Blue Velvets” provided romantic music for the prom-goers.

A car wash and dance were sponsored in order to increase the treasury for the Class of ’72.
