A New Decade Heralds The Powerful Generation Swimsuits had been packed away; Comic books were exchanged for textbooks. Following the nine-day teacher strike, 550 anxious students filed into Whiting High School, Each anticipating the hopes and fears That would signify a new decade. Eagerness overcame fear for 117 freshmen While schedule changes, homework, and football Made them part of the high school scene. 1970, the year of the mini-skirt and war moratoriums, Blood, Sweat, and Tears,” and long sideburns, Would long be remembered As the last high school year for 117 seniors. Summer had begun to fade; It was time for a change. It was time for part-time jobs, Saving for the class trip, | And W-Club initiations. The public library would be filling up 1 As pencils wore down. And as pencils wear down. So does time. Time has heralded a new decade — A decade of YOUTH POWER. By working for the city. Chuck Podobinski puts his ambitions to work. T Teachers Bob Klosek and Tim Kompicr participate in the teachers' strike that kept the doors of Whiting Schools closed. I Power emerges—a revealing glimpse of our youth The “Now Generation” boasts of individuality, Yet also believes in active participation. The youth of the '70’s takes pride in helping, But is capable of helping himself. He has learned the value of an education; His aims and ideals arc high. The value of friendship is dear to him. For a friend to all is he. This is the dynamic generation of today. This is YOUTH POWER. An active bleacher bum, Mark Kobli, posts a notice for the group’s next activity. Cadet teacher Ken Justak guides a young student in the basic skills of basketball. Our winter formal, the Sub-Deb. creates fond memories for Whiting couples.

Jerseys replace shirts and sweaters; Girls take a masculine approach to Stomp ’Em” day; Prize-winning junior class float expresses the dream of all Oilers -A Homecoming victory. Seniors, too, help make the Homecoming parade a memorable one. Humble, yet at the same time proud, Whiting’s football team stands at attention While a senior letterman assures fans of a win. This is the youth of W.H.S.; this is YOUTH POWER. With mixed emotions, Mary Ann Knish thoughtfully adds the final touches to the senior nominees' float. 8 With the cry Cynch thoz tigers!” spirited seniors plan a victory.

Spirited fans cheer until they’re hoarse At the assembly held prior to the game. Clark, however, overpowered the mighty Oilers By a score of 73 to 41. YOUTH POWER was there, too, wanting, caring, helping. Student body amused, entertained by assemblies Senior girls find that it is standing room only for the sectional pep assembly. “Santa's Workshop, a Christ- mas variety show, is presented by the Glee Club. A cheerleader impersonation by Mark Hritz and John Sabol is the highlight of a pre-game assembly. Stimulating, unique assemblies covering everything From drugs and narcotics to Santa Claus Provide a welcome change From the daily school routine. Memories never to be forgotten include The humorous presentation of “Battle Cry” By seniors Mark Hritz and John Sabol, The silly antics of the elves Portrayed in the Glee Club’s Santa’s Workshop,” And the singing of the school song for the last time. These assemblies displayed the ability and versatility Of the youth of WHS and their unmistakable YOUTH POWER. The anti-male sorority sisters arc unaware that Tony Cartwright (Arthur Gutierrez) is masquerading as a sorority sister. Sorority sisters delight audience in fall comedy As the auditorium fills up on opening night, Behind-thc-sccnc crews sec that all props arc intact. Mr. Tumbas, director, offers a final word of assurance. “Places!” instructs stage manager, Mike Groyza, To members of the cast of “Oh, Men, Amen!” Slowly the curtain rises. Stage fright and nervousness become a thing of the past As the audience warms to the actors and actresses. The final curtain call brings thunderous applause For a job well done by the youth of WHS.

Dawning of the Age of Aquarius On May 16, ninety couples jam the Ramada Inn, The scene of the 1970 junior-senior prom. Enchanting “Del Rene” band Sets a romantic atmosphere. While the “now” tunes of “The Glass Novelty” Allow WHS teens to “do their thing.” Colonial bouquets and tinted boutonnieres. Fond memories of an evening in “The Age of Aquarius,” Remind prom-goers of an event they’ll never forget. Bursting with energy, excitement, and style, The youth of WHS comes one step closer to adulthood. Cindi Dugan and Don Ettcr share the romantic mood set by the music of Del Rene. 20 The grand march is lead by junior and senior class presidents with their dates. Prom couples await the high point of the evening - the grand march. A couple pauses to admire the decorations that complimented the 1970 prom theme. 21 The senior assembly brought seniors together to laugh over the gifts that they received. Superintendent J. Hapak proudly hands his son. John, the significant diploma. Mr. Kovachic. sponsor of the class of ’70. accepts his gift from the grateful senior class. Seniors take the last steps needed to reach their ultimate high school goal - graduation. 22 With high hopes of success. Baccalaureate exercises brings the class of 1970 together for the last time before commencement. Commencement climaxes school life of 113 seniors Dirty sneakers, Notre Dame jerseys, and sailor hats Identify members of the class of 1970 On the day of their senior assembly, May 29. Words written to the theme song of “Romeo and Juliet” Become the class song; “Success — live your life in your own way,” the motto. Senior class history, will, prophecy, and giftatory Bring laughter, applause, and tears. 113 seniors march to Pomp and Circumstance” As the class of 1970 for the last time on June 3. With heads held high, they look to the future, Heralding an era of change - an era of YOUTH POWER. The uncertain world is opened to the now alumni, with the changing of the tassel. The class of 71’s class president. Joe Piatek, receives the gavel, symbol of senior leadership. EXIT The power of learning ACADEMICS Shakespeare, Poe, and Tolstoy bridge communication A bookrack in Mrs. Rader’s class holds a variety of interest for Kenny Taylor. Steve Edwards studies Cliff Notes to prepare himself for an upcoming book report. Speech offers a variety of projects such as this book report by Sharon Bryzcki. 26 gap through English Whitingites learned that English can be fun through varied channels. Roget’s THESAURUS became the “Bible” for com- position students; parts of speech began to make sense for grammar pupils. Members of theater classes made Shake- speare's MACBETH live, while journalism class enrollees strove for perfection in editing an issue of the TATTLER. Milton’s PARADISE LOST had a new meaning for senior literature students. The conclusion: English can be fun. John Mayernik explains the Globe Theater for Mr. Ulrich’s senior literature class. Dennis Kaminski uses various gestures to explain his book report for senior English. As a change, eighth graders Pat Cornelius and Sue Smith play “Concentration.' 27 Spanish students speak language fluently as Sue Stasko uses visual aids to illustrate Spanish to the second year students. Studying diligently to keep up with her Spanish lessons is Dolores Morando. 28 Just as no one person can possibly know all there is to know about literature, neither can a Spanish or German student learn all there is to know about his language; but the pupils enrolled in Mr. Taylor and Mr. Ulrich’s foreign language classes are indeed striving for perfection in their respective languages. Each drill, each new word learned, each error corrected brings students closer toward reaching their goal. Three years of German were offered in the 1969-70 curriculum. German IV was not included in the schedule. The first three years acquainted the pupils with the language, customs, and traditions of Germany. Dialogue presentation improved diction and helped perfect those unusual, “un-American” sounding consonants and vowels. Visual aids proved to be invaluable to first year members. Third and fourth year Spanish classes were combined. Mr. Taylor strove to present a cultural background and better prepare college-bound students for future careers. A better understanding of the ways of life of the Spanish-speaking people and native-sounding dialect were the intended end results of the Spanish courses. German linguists excel Difficult German vowels and consonent sounds are practiced by Leonard Homola. Using a protractor is only a part of Nancy Drcwniak's assignment in Geometry. Mark Meyers and Carlos Flores work simple arithmetic problems at the board. Advanced Algebra proves to be challenging for Mark Sabol and Robert Laub as they discuss a difficult problem. Theorems and Postulates baffle math students In the present age of computers and automation, a clear understanding of the concepts of math is essential to keep students in pace with the modern, ever-changing world of numbers. Geared towards all levels of mathematics, the math curric- ulum includes everything from business math and general math, which prepare the pupil for the business world by introducing him to checks and loans, to senior math, a detailed probe into our numerical system. While algebra acquaints the student with equations and graphs, geometry delves into the construction of geometric figures. For the undecided math enthusiast, pre-algebra offers a challenge and introduction to numbers. Advanced algebra is available to those who desire to continue their studies of math in college. Working an equation at the board, Jeff Blahunka illustrates the mystery of Algebra. Musing over one of his arithmetic problems is Arthur Gutierrez. Ed Pcrz and Bob Maichcr measure Dick O’Donnell's height in senior math class. 31 Quest for truth goes on; General science courses offered students the basic realms of the wide field of science, while biology, health, chemistry, advanced chemistry, and physics delved into the specifics. Health students began the deep study of bacteria, and worked their way up to an analysis of the most complex mammal, man. Models of the skeletal system of man and likenesses of the human ear and eye proved to be very beneficial to health students. To better understand the reproductive and digestive sys- tems of the frog, crayfish, and perch, biology pupils dissected them and observed the intricate parts of that which made the small creatures human. The atoms, titration experiments, quantitative analysis, and bunsen burners became second nature to first year chemistry students, while advanced chemistry allowed future scientists to conduct a deeper study of the elements and their properties. An even more intense study of the laws governing nature is the object of physics class members. Only seniors arc enrolled in this highly specialized field of science. It prepared college- bound boys and girls for the rigid schedule requirements they might encounter in their preferred colleges. Using a meter stick, John Majda concentrates on an accurate measure- ment. 32 Conducting a chemistry experiment proves fun for Nancy Dcdinsky and Debbie Ragland as they prepare a mixture. Challenge awaits future scientists Mr. Stoffer lectures to a group of interested students in the new biology room. 33 John Mateja prepare for his physics project by lighting his Bunsen burner. Putting a crucible in the high temperature oven is Joe Skvara. Social studies students study the past in order to Sophomores in Mr. Kovachic's class study world history in order to broaden their knowledge of past events. Bill Peterson uses visual aids to describe California, the third largest state. 34 Social Studies requires more than just classroom work, as shown by Carl Opat. History class entails assignments done by Sharon Hart and Karen Kaminsky. shape their futures Without leaving his seat, a social studies student may have met the Presidents of the United States as a junior in American history class. He could have studied Charlemagne, Pepin, and Clovis, and their importance in world history under the direction of Mr. Oliver. Perhaps an in-depth study of the world’s problems might have been more in one’s line. As a senior, it was possible to learn the significance of the Constitution. The causes of inflation and the state of our present economy were studied closely in economics classes. James Tigner uses a miniature voting machine to illustrate the right to vote. 35 In U.S. government, Mr. Divjak discusses our political system with his students. Patterns and recipes puzzle novice homemakers Future Betty Crockers concoctions. John Harangody and Dennis Weller, clean up the kitchen after one of their Loretta Queen shows her versatility as a homemaker by baking a batch of cookies. As the tantalizing aromas of steak, vegetables, and fresh apple pie teased the taste buds of inquisitive passers-by, the male enrollment of WHS was efficiently preparing a seven- course meal. Donned in aprons and equipped with cooking paraphernalia, girls and boys alike satisfied their culinary delights in the confines of room 107. Meanwhile, potential seamstresses and tailors developed a knack for replacing broken zippers and designing their own wardrobes. Utilizing newly acquired techniques, the home- makers of WHS have a profitable future ahead. Using her sewing talents, Mary Morando gives a plain piece of cloth a new shape. Before adding the finishing touches to a bench, George Wilkins perfects his project by sanding it. Students brighten halls with homemade creations The broad field of industrial arts is as varied as its unlimited possibilities and goals. Although the unprecedented admittance of girls into print ship was initiated this school year, machine shop classes were still occupied solely by boys. Mechanical drawing prepared interested individuals for future vocational careers of their choice. Woodshop students turned out remarkably well done masterpieces, as did pupils enrolled in the plastics classes. Using time-saving devices to complete plastic projects are Mike Hansen and Mike Haynes. James Hayden uses a wood lathe, an essential tool of woodshop. Mr. Faulkner provides some needed assistance for puzzled second hour bookkeeping class students. Potential office workers Complicated bookkeeping projects, eight-digit multipli- cation problems, five-minute timed writings, and difficult shorthand symbols demanded intense concentration on the part of future secretaries and executives. First year shorthand class acquainted students with the basic shorthand symbols and prepared them for actual dicta- tion periods. The second year of shorthand stressed transcrip- tion and clear, readable notes. Typing I and II enabled pupils geared for college and business careers alike to improve the application of the touch system used in typing. Comptometers, duplicating machines, and varitypers posed new challenges for office practice pupils. The use of office machines, students learned, greatly simplify the duties of a secretary on the job. Debits and credits, assets and liabilities became the topics of discussion in second hour bookkeeping class. A perplexing problem confronts Pat lialajesik in bookkeeping class. Operating calculators in office practice are Mary Ellen Groyza and Marsha Monocchio. acquire business skills George Zahorsky beams proudly on completing a job well done. Future secretaries struggle to pass tests error-free. Accurate manipulation of fingers requires concentration and coordi nation. 39 Musicians “make their own kind of music” Sweet, sentimental medleys that brought tears to the eyes of sensitive girls contrasted the boisterous oompa’s of the tuba that blared from the band room. A new class in music appreciation, a requirement for freshmen taught by Mr. Gow, stimulated the musical talents of pupils, while at the same time, allowed students “to make their own kind of music, their own kind of song.” Practicing on his coronet during his band period is Ron Bishop, a freshman. A humorous music report is given by Jason Vulctich in his seventh hour class. The second hour chorus class gathers a- round the piano to sing some favorite songs. 40 Art objects are completed by Becky Reynolds, Terry Mikula, Tim Blastik and Janet Stahura. Paintings, collages reflect talent of dabblers Finishing touches are put on an art project by Linda Criswell. Just as no two men’s fingerprints are alike, neither arc the ideas and feelings of students enrolled in Whiting High School’s art classes. Eager first year students, experienced sophomores, and talented upperclassmen expressed their indi- vidualism through the wide, wide world of paints, crayons, and chalks, more commonly referred to as art. Room number 311 became the temporary showplace for brightly colored collages, full length murals, and clay figurines, all excellent examples of the dauntless efforts of apprentice artists. Linda Criswell and George Sankowski concentrate on perfection of their art figures. 41 Freshman girls limber up for the day's gym activities. Rigorous gym activities Girls’ physical education classes afforded girls a chance to improve body coordination and muscle control by exercising in rhythm to hit songs. An opportunity to engage in scrim- mage games of tag football, basketball, baseball, soccer and running relays was also allowed. Under the supervision of Mrs. Judy Sorota, girls kept physically fit and had fun doing it. Sit-ups, jumping jacks, and leg lifts kept boys in shape for more rigorous competitive sports. When the weather permit- ted, Mr. Ray Zubeck led his group of pupils to the football field, where they were divided into groups. A heated game of softball or soccer followed. Water polo and diving skills were perfected when swimming accommodations were available. Girls’ gym teacher, Mrs. Judy Sorota, explains the fundamentals of basketball to her third hour class. Joel Ciers strengthens stomach muscles by doing a new type of sit-up. Calisthenics form a daily part of gym activity for Bill Skaggs. keep the youth of WHS physically fit Leaping over a horse, Debbie Burgess exhibits athletic ability and coordination. Striving to improve muscle coordination is freshman Ron Bishop.

Chants of “We’re number one!” reflected the feelings of spirited fans towards the mighty Oilers. In spite of the two games forfeited by the strike, fans will long remember Ken Jusiak’s powerful kicks over the goalpost, Roger Corby’s bold attempts to run the length of the field, or Don Ettcr’s ability to recover passes. Neither can one forget the fearless efforts of each of the 35 members of the squad who presented a fine display of sportsmanship, and were, without a doubt, number one in the hearts of all Oiler fans.

Keep it up. Fight, team, fight!” contains the philosophy of each of the 18 first-year linemen. A number of factors contributed to make the ’69 season outstanding for the “green” gridmen. First, not one win was credited to the promising young athletes. This did not, however, discourage the fearless freshmen, who displayed remarkable perseverance throughout their winlcss period. Inexperience, and fatigue, though present, offered no excuse for team members to become lax in their practice sessions. The frosh undoubtedly have the stamina, drive, and ability to become a first place team in the future. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM - Kneeling: I. Baylcss, K. Puhck, M. Standing: S. Warzyniak, R. Sluder.

Cindermen persevere in spite of losses Senior Tom Bajzatt races to a first place victory. If determination, practice, and experience assured one of a winning season, the cindermen of Whiting High School should have finished in first place. In spite of their winless season, these factors abounded on the parts of all cross country members. Upperclassmen served as excellent examples to first year runners, while underclassmen showed promise during practice sessions and actual meets. The 18 boys who comprised the cross country team gained experience for future meets and learned the value of good sportsmanship. CROSS COUNTRY WHS 31 E. C. Washington 24 WHS 31 E. C.

Mrs. Judy Sorota, serving as sponsor and coach, showed competitors how to improve their lay-ups, perform perfect swan dives, and do stunts on the trampoline accurately. Intense concentration and expert know-how became the key factors in billiards matches, while perfect timing, agility, and practice combined to make outstanding bowlers shine in sessions at the Community Center. Swimming is a sport greatly enjoyed by girls. VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM - Kneeling: J. Jacko, T. Bajzatt. R. Mgr. C. Zavesky, R McConnell. J. Hapak. S. Trcnka. R. Fortcncr, M. Gacsko, R. Maichcr. T.

Five one-point losses dampen spirits The green and white uniforms that easily identified the powerful Oilers to fans were not the only new things about the Whiting High School varsity basketball team in ’69 and ’70. Their determination, ability, and ambition, although not new, carried a new weight, a definite improvement. Team members played as though their lives depended on it, while at the same time, exhibited a high degree of sportsman- ship. When the chips were down, the mighty Oilers kept going. Never did they let defeat become an excuse for poor shooting or bad rebounding. In spite of their win-loss record. Oiler enthusiasts cared enough to watch WHS play. Coach Ron Diyjak inspired the team and stood behind them one hundred percent. New strategy and new faces on the starting line-up combined to make the season a successful one. Wins over Andrean, Hanover Central, and Lowell high- lighted the season. Neither can one easily forget the five heart-breaking losses by one point.

Hapak eighth highest scorer in region Vigorous practice and perfection of lay-ups, free throws, and accurate passing of the ball demanded much of the after-school hours of eager B-squad basketball team players. As they donned green and white uniforms, only one thought prevailed in their minds - Victory! Although only two wins were credited to the enthusiastic roundballcrs, the experience that the team members gained proved to be well worth the time and the effort. They learned the importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship, and practiced it all times. But more important, they learned from their mistakes, and as a result, became a better team for it. “Shoot for two” is the thought behind Senior Dennis Huskey’s drive.

Others practiced applying pinning combinations that resulted in a successful third season of wrestling. Experienced matmen, coached by Mr. William Rebcy, attained new records of achievement, for which they were justly awarded at the annual All-Sports banquet held at Vogel’s. Senior letterman Dick O’Donnell was named the “Most Valuable Wrestler,’’ and was feted for making the most pins. Jesse Morando proudly accepted a trophy for being the most improved wrestler.

Jim Greskovich breaks four school records Senior Jim Greskovich is off to break another record. In order to perfect their breath control, timing, and coordination, the Whiting High School tankmen spent many after-school hours training in the school pool. The 160 yard medley relay, the 200 and 400 yard freestyle, the 100 yard butterfly, and the 100 yard breaststroke all form part of the individual and group competition in a meet. Senior letterman Joe Skvara was honored with the distinc- tion of placing fifth in the Sectional tourney. For the second consecutive year, experienced Jim Greskovich has broken previous records and won honors for relay and freestyle swimming ability. VARSITY WHS 32 Hammond Tech 63 WHS 28 T. F.

Coach Tim Kompicr Conference champs of’69 strive to regain title Although the Whiting High School baseball team failed to retain its 1969 first rate conference standing, the Oilers finish- ed the season with a laudable 8 • 10 record. Under the careful guidance of coaches Ed Fritz and Tim Kompier, teammates polished pitching skills and learned to get those all-important hits when necessary. The highlight of the ’70 baseball season was a 12 - 9 victory over crosstown rival, Clark. Well-deserved wins over Tech, Hammond High, and Morton showed fans the teamwork that made them so successful.

The first change to take place within the organization was the membership into the Council. Members were elected from each class on a per capita basis, while class vice-presidents automatically became members. During sessions held during first and second periods, the Council updated the dress code, allowing girls to wear slacks and dress bermudas to classes. The crowning of the Homecoming queen, sponsoring the Homecoming dance, and supervising the parade also fell under the jurisdiction of the Student Council, truly an active and necessary legislative body at WHS.

Future teachers tour Chicago, see Forty Carats Realizing that the quality of teachers does make a differ- ence, Whiting's chapter of the Future Teachers of America strove to show the importance of teaching by combining it with pleasure. Juniors and seniors were allowed to cadet teach in the Primary-McGregor Grade School. This gave them on-the-spot training, invaluable to a successful teaching career. The girls offered aid in grading test papers, distributing books, tutoring students, and were even permitted to teach the class under the close supervision of the teachers. Girls carrying boxes of taffy apples every Wednesday was a familiar sight, as the future students sought to defray expenses incurred in making a trip to Chicago to see “Forty Carats.” 65 FTA OFFICERS - Mrs. J.

It was at the Girls’ Club’s annual Big Sister - Little Sister party, held in the girls’ gym, that seniors officially “adopted the frosh for their little sisters. Girls’ Club members played hostesses to their mothers, whom they honored at the Mothers’ Day Tea. Lively entertain- ment followed a treat of punch and homemade cookies served in the gym. For thirty-one years, Mrs. Marie Lentvorsky has offered her time and talents as the devoted sponsor of this organization of which every girl is a member. Her inspiring example of true friendship has earned the admiration and respect of all. GIRLS’ CLUB OFFICERS - Seated: S. Mahony. treasurer; D. Durko- vie, secretary. Standing: K.

Girls kept themselves physically fit and had fun doing it at the same time. First on the agenda were swimming and volleyball. Shortly after, bowling enthusiasts were seen trekking to the Commu- nity Center, where they displayed their bowling skills. Ping pong balls flashed back and forth as the girls battled during the ping pong tourney. Billiards, too, became an extracurricular activity for many. Close basketball and baseball games pro- vided a striking contrast to frequent sessions on the trampoline and horse. Efforts did not go unrewarded, however, as girls earned points toward GAC letters, pins, and numerals, equivalent to sportsmen’s “W s”. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC CLUB - B. Reynolds, Executive Board; N.

The effort and achievement of devoted athletes are rewarded with hard- earned letters. A “W” is the result of much hard work on the part of an athlete, and is considered to be the highest honor a sports competitor can receive. Football and basketball participants must play in at least one-half the quarters to earn a letter. Baseball team members are required to participate in fifty percent of the innings, while wrestlers must acquire at least one point per meet. Track and cross country competitors must also earn one point during each of their meets to qualify for a letter for that sport. One “W” permits the boy to wear it on a green sweater. The acquisition of two or more letters entitles the athlete the privilege of displaying his letters on a letterman’s jacket. When six letters have been earned, one is awarded a white “W” sweater, the dream of all WHS athletes. 69 W-CLUB OFFICERS - J. Hapak, Secretary; T. Bajzatt, Treasurer; Mr. E. Fritz, Sponsor; K.

Activity bustled daily in room 308, where the amateur journalists worked zealously toward perfecting their master- piece, the 1970 edition of the REFLECTOR. Co-editors learned the fundamentals of preparing layouts and composing interesting copy during two weeks spent at the journalism institute at Indiana University’s Bloomington camp- us. Early in September, an all-out effort was made to solicit ads to the area merchants. The staff’s concept of YOUTH POWER was carefully tied in with the history of the 1969-70 school year. A bit later, an attractive cover was chosen that ideally depicts both the title and theme of this year’s memory book. Typewriter keys clicked rapidly, deadlines were surprisingly met, original ideas became reality - became the ’69-’70 REFLECTOR. R. Jancck and I. Bcrcik, Sports cditors.I.. Downcn, School Life editor.

Bob Maichcr, Steve Trenka, and Dick O’Donnell look over their masterpieces. Concerned members of the TATTLER staff stayed up nights racking their brains for different, interesting ideas for the publication of the bi-weekly school newspaper. Free time was spent meeting dreaded Wednesday deadlines. The TATTLER offered sports coverage, opinion polls, outstanding students, editorials, and brilliant cartoons. A new feature, the “Pickled Dinger of Fate Award,” was added this year. The school newspaper also gave students a chance to voice their opinions and to publicize their gripes. Not only did the TATTLER serve as an informative piece of paper, but it also sought to entertain by means of its “Believe It or Don’t” columns, “Hit Parade,” and original cartoons. A weekly assignment of the TATTLER staff was to submit school news to the TIMES and to assign someone to be interviewed for the “Voice of Youth” column. Occasional articles prepared by exchange correspondent, Dick O’Donnell, appeared in the TIMES GRAFIC. Staff members M. Hritz, D. Kaminski, and S. Trenka compose effective headlines. 73 Creative (ouches arc added to the TATTLER by cartoonist Jim Grcskovich. Original ideas arc contemplated by Ken Justak, Pam Faught.and Mark Hritz. Fans respond to organized Booster cheer block Thanks to the dauntless efforts of avid members of the Booster Club, spirit never wavered during the major sport seasons. Bright green and white shakers dotted the orderly cheering section during home basketball bouts. Wooden clap- ping blocks and thunderous applause accompanied appropriate cheers that resounded through the gym. Chants of “We’re number one!” reflected the desire of each Booster Club member from the Football-0’ Rama until the final game of the football season. License plates imprinted with the ever-famous oil can and the words “Whiting Oilers” were solicited to Oiler enthusiasts. Cushioned “hot” seats, purchased from Booster Club mem- bers, became comfortable sitting places for many. Derbies in the traditional green and white worn by members identified Oiler fans, while circular pins became the distinguishing mark for other Booster Club members and fans. On February 14, President Bob Maichcr presented Sectional Sweetheart, Anna Mac Moskalick, with red roses, an engraved necklace, and a silver team-autographed basketball at its annual Sectional Sweetheart dance. BOOSTER CLUB OFFICERS - B. Maichcr, president; J. Stahura. vice-president; Mrs. Bonnie Rader, sponsor; J. Skvara. treasurer; S. Curosh, secretary. A highly-spirited, organized cheering block was a reality through the efforts of the Booster Club. DRAMA CLUB OFFICERS - From Bottom To Top: D. Shancr, treasurer; D. Kaminski, secretary; J. Sabol, vice-president; T. Burkovich. president; Mr. Peter Tumbas, sponsor. A. M. Moskalick, A. Gutierrez, and L. Stam had starring roles in the fall production. Aspiring actors express talents in Drama Club The newly-formed Drama Club, taking the place of the Thespian Club, was under the direction of a new sponsor, Mr. Pete Tumbas. The organization got off to a roaring start by staging two performances of “Oh, Men, Amen!”, a comedy by Donald Campbell. Cast members feasted on hot dogs, potato chips, and pop at the informal cast party held in the school cafeteria. A hilarious spoof of the play, presented by the stage crew, entertained cast members. Each member of the stage crew represented a different cast member, and portrayed portions of the comedy as the students would react in real life. When “The Dark of the Moon” was presented at Indiana University in Gary, WHS’s potential actors and actresses were spectators instead of characters. Students discussed the play on the return bus-ride home. The first production of the newly-organized Drama Club was O Men, Amen, a comedy by Donald Campbell. 75 Plans made for summer excursion to Mexico SPANISH CLUB OFFICERS - Seated: M. E. O’Donnell, treasurer; C. Piatek. vice-president. Standing: B. Simants,secretary;T. Mikula, presi- dent; Mr. Jack Taylor, sponsor. Whether the season be spring or fall, activity always bustled among the members of the Spanish Club at WHS. The first of their many activities was a membership drive and dues collec- tion period. With December comes Christmas in America, and Mexico is no exception. A brightly colored piffata took the place of the traditional Christmas tree, and the treats were concealed within the Mexican pinata. A single blow of a baseball bat scattered the candies, gum, and nuts all over the floor, and resulted in a mad scramble for the goodies. Awards were given to the best dancers, members of the organization. Talented members of the Spanish Club, under the close direction of Mr. Jack Taylor, presented songs and dances in native costumes for the Whiting Woman’s Club Guest Night on March 17. Perhaps the biggest endeavor taken on by the club was a two-week trip to Mexico, in which students were able to apply linguistic skills and get a firsthand look at the country. This summer excursion also provided an opportunity to see how the youth of Mexico lives, in comparison with the teens of the United States. 76 An all-out drive to collect dues was one of the jobs of the language club officers. “SSnoritas” Pcko Banik and Margaret Whiting read brochures to prepare for the summer field trip to Mexico. Kathy Michel hopes to finance a German Club field trip through candy sales. Bus rides seem long for members of the German Club and F.T.A. German Club members tour Chicago’s German Town GERMAN CLUB OFFICERS - B. Laub, president; M. Sabol, vice-presi- dent; D. Negovetich, secretary; J. Hapak. treasurer; Mr. James Ulrich, sponsor. An all-out effort was made by members of Whiting High School’s German Club to boost the financial status of the organization. Cases and cases of Horn brand chocolate candy bars and white chocolate bars with almonds exchanged be- tween the hands of eager club members and their satisfied customers. Green, red, and blue derbies, bermuda shorts, knee socks, and suspenders became the garb of new male initiates on initiation day. Girls wore to school the traditional attire of German lasses. In addition to the unique dress, initiates were also required to sell at least 48 bars of candy to become members. The purpose of the fund-raising activities sponsored by this organization was to cover costs incurred on field trips. On one of their field trips, planned jointly with the FTA, students enrolled in the German Club viewed Forty Carats in Chicago and enjoyed the picturesque sites of the “Big City. Students aid by performing helpful tasks LIBRARIANS - Kneeling: C- Lcpacck, J. Ryan, M. Baker, K. Michel. Second Row: Miss Sheldon, head librarian; P. Shoe key, P. Oster, C. Welch. While most students busied themselves in study hall, seven willing girls, in addition to countless other duties, performed the task of collecting the absentee slips and recording the absentees for the records. Filing and the Dewi-Decimal system became second nature to the librarian’s aids. This service proved to be educational as well as enjoyable for all concerned. Little does one realize all the time and effort the concession stand workers put into their assignments. Boxing pop corn, making change, and helping small children make the difficult choice between a candy bar and a package of gum all find their places in the weekly schedules of the girls who provide the working power in the concession stand for Whiting’s home games.

Corridors transformed into winter wonderland Due to the combined efforts of active members of the Art Club, the spirit of Christmas was kept vividly alive. Evidence of the holiday season was colorfully exhibited in the halls and classrooms of the junior and senior high buildings. Three bigger-than-life-size snowmen, representing Mr. Krue- ger, Mr. Kountoures, and Mr. Buckley, complete with scarves and glasses, were the center of attention. In the background, a house covered with snow nude the scene even more realistic. A panorama of color framed a huge dove that greeted students entering the study hall. Rosy-cheeked angels in flight covered the windows. Christmas would not be complete without the traditional green Christmas tree, also skillfully decorated by the aspiring young artists. Although the Art Club got off to a slow start, it made up for lost time in the spring. Spectators marveled at the brilliant display of murals, sculpture, and op art that was exhibited in the club’s spring art fair. The success attained by WHS’s Art Club was due largely to the talented sponsor, Mrs. Rosemary Demkovich. ART CLUB OFFICERS - Seated: Tom Dybcl, president; Woodley Scholz, vice-president.

An incalculable amount of talent, work, and sacrifice on the part of choral director, Miss Roseanne Jakubowicz, and members of the Glee Club resulted in the presentation of an elaborate hour-long Christmas assembly. On Friday, December 19, some of the girls of the Glee Club donned green tights and short red tops, portraying their interpretation of Santa’s helpers. The silly antics displayed by the “Chipmunks” (alias Bon- nie Bondra, Bonnie Corondon, and Patti Huckaby) stole the show and won the hearts of interested spectators. Annette Richards’ beautiful solo rendition of “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” brought tears to sentimental viewers, while the carefree strains of “Let’s Go for a Sleigh Ride boosted the spirits of both onlookers and choralcrs alike. Members of the Glee Club sold candy to raise money for any expenses the club might incur during the course of the school year. The songs presented in the group’s spring assembly left the audience with lumps in their throats and tears in their eyes. The Glee Club choralcrs, easily identifiable with green blazers and white skirts, also delighted audiences of local civic organizations with their variety of songs. GLEE CLUB - Front Row: B.

Adam, secre- tary; Mr. J. Sorota, sponsor; G. Majda. treasurer; D. O’Donnell, vice-president. Photogenic Physics Club members set aside their studies to pose for our cameras. One of the smallest clubs in Whiting High School, the Physics Club, is sponsored by Mr. John Sorota. The aim of the club is to attain and maintain the interests of club members through various projects sponsored by this organization. The main money-raising activity held by the Physics Club was its annual dance, which netted a considerable profit for the club treasury. Most organizations as WHS have Christmas parties, and the Physics Club was no exception. The party was complete with food, gifts, and decorations. Of course, instead of using the usual ornaments, the future physicists adorned their tree specimen with tools of the trade - an elements charts, a lab apron, test tubes. A study of the goings-on of this organization compels one to conclude that learning can be fun. The power of individuality PERSONALITIES School year opens with two new administrators Mr. John Kountoures, formerly of East Chicago, serves as principal.
