Summer Workshops Open New Door to Knowledge To further their knowledge, several Whiting students attended summer institutes. Girl and Boy Stater’s had the opportunity to learn more about the functions of their government by becom- ing the leaders in a mock democ racy. Broadening their talents in the art of writing and edit- ing were those students who attended a two week jour- nalism seminar at Indiana University. A music camp sponsored by Purdue University for Whiting’s outstanding music students provided for indi- vidual as well as group competition. Whitingites who excelled in dramatic arts were en- rolled in weekly courses at Goodman Theater in Chicago where they learned to portray the character of another individual mentally as well as physically. Joining them was Mark Meyers who attended the Art Institute of Chicago. Sounding off on a new key of knowledge are music students Rich Bor- getti. Melody Bailon, John Kontol, and Dave Borgetti. Planning out their exciting trip to Boys’ and Girls’ State are delegates L. Curosh, S. Hapak, R. Gyure, and j. Burgan. T ' fi t Mark Meyers displays some of his intriguing artwork which he created while attending the Chicago Art Institute.

Kevin Hart plays the role of the perfect gentlemen as he attenti- vely assists Kathy Jerzyk from the automobile. 10 Mirrored Ballroom Reflects “Look of Love” The evening of May 26, 1972 found radiant couples traveling to the Martinique in Evergreen Park, 111. to at- tend the Jr.-Sr. Prom, “The Look of Love”. Upon entering the Martinique and descending the winding staircase, guests were awed by the hanging gar- dens, the goldfish pond, and the mirrored ballroom which blended to create an elegant atmosphere. After a de- licious meal was served, mentalists King and Zerita pro- vided the entertainment. As the sweetness of the evening began to recede in the past, couples felt themselves swaying to the dreamy music of Ronny Rogers and His Orchestra. Whitingites returned to WHS where a post prom was held in the gymnasium. Dreamily dancing to romantic music, Kathy McHale and Kenny Justak are true examples of the theme, “The Look of Love”. As they wait for entertainment to begin, Barbara Lepacek and Tony Guzek anticipate an evening of everlasting memories. 11 Junior girls proudly ride on their first place float entitled, “Hold That Line”. A key to a successful homecoming are the spirit messages such as this one being painted by Adrienne Semancik. As they ride through the parade for the last time, spirited Seniors will have this moment to reflect upon. 12 Spirit Soars High During Homecoming Week “I hated to see it end, it was such fun.” These words summed up the feelings of most Whitingites as the 1972 Homecoming became a date of the past. After weeks of planning, anticipating, and flower-mak- ing, the clamorous and chaotic weekend finally arrived. Thursday, October 26, marked the date of the annual pa- rade. Each class displayed their spirit by entering a deco- rated car or float into competition. Rising at 2:00 a.m. to decorate the players houses, the girls began the next days activities early, but certainly did not end them there. Sign studded halls, the pep assembly, the Senior skit of the 50’s, and the giving out of mums climaxed the re- mainder of the events of the day. Showing their enthusiasm during Homecoming Week are yell-leaders R. Lingvay, J. Furto, D. Johnson, and R. Bishop. 13 Coronation Ceremonies Reveal Sheila Ubik As Homecoming Queen The festival of Homecoming activities came to a close as the Whiting Oilers battled the Morton Governors on the Oiler football field. Although giving it all they had, the Oilers were defeated by the Governors 36-0. Even though the game was an important part of the evening, the selection of the queen was the highlight. As half-time ceremonies approached, nervous and ex- cited queen nominees tensely awaited the announcement of the new queen. Glistening tears filled the eyes of Sheila Ubik as she was chosen to reign as 1972 Homecoming Queen. As she took her place on the chair of honor, Ke- vin Puhek, Mr. Football, bestowed her with the coveted crown. A dance sponsored by the Student Council was held in the Boys’ Gym after the game. As they dance to the music of Quorum, Mr. Football, Kevin Puhek, and Queen Sheila Ubik bestow grateful smiles to onlookers. 1972 HOMECOMING COURT-D. Wolfe, Junior attendant; K.

On Nov. 17, after four weeks of diligent rehearsal, a cast of 17 hardworking Thespians presented their version of Thornton Wilders’, “Our Town”. This three act Puliti- zer Prize winning play is a revelation of human drama. The setting takes place in Grovers Corners, New Hamp- shire, and the theme stresses the idea that the small unim- portant days of our lives mean so much to us. Leading the cast of characters is George Harangody as Stage Manager, Cindy Augustyn as Emily Webb, and Bob Mustafa as George Cobb. Under the direction of Miss Helen Stecy this years dra- matical performance was an overwhelming success. A typical breakfast in the Gibbs’ household finds George and Rebecca bickering over their alotted allowances. 16 The town choral director, Simon Stimpton, (B. O ' Donnell) pleads with the tenors for more meaningful singing. Newlyweds George and Emily (B. Mustafa and C. Augustyn) embrace after being pronounced man and wife. An irate play-goer (Teena Buffington) voices her opinion on the subjects of the industrial reform of Grovers Comers. Linda Curosh Selected as Sweetheart Queen Celebrating both Valentine’s Day and the upcoming Sectional tournament is the purpose of the Sectional Sweetheart dance. Sponsored by the Booster Club, the dance was held on February 17th in the Boys’ Gym. The dance is comparable to Homecoming in that a Sectional Sweetheart Queen is chosen. The Senior class nominates three girls whom they feel would make an ideal Sectional Sweetheart, while the under-classmen also nominate three girls to be the Sectional Court. This year Linda Curosh was chosen as the 1973 Sectional Sweet- heart Queen. Linda was escorted by Joe Furto. The color scheme of the dance was red and pink. These colors were shown in decorations such as hearts and cu- pids. George Harangody and Adrienne Semancik were co-chairman of the dance. Music for the dance was provided by Free Verse. As she dances, Queen Linda Curosh begins to realize that dreams really do come true.

More than 5(X) loyal fans and friends attended this special event. Awards were given to those boys who excelled or showed an exceptional mental attitude in a certain sport. The Roy E. Green Award was also given to the Junior athlete who maintained the highest scholastic average throughout his three years of schooling. The concluding feature was a speech on the impor- tance of being a devoted athlete by Abe Gibron, football coach of the Chicago Bears. Abe Gibron, coach of the Chicago Bears, speaks to the guests on what he feels makes an ideal athlete. One of the best parts of the sports banquet is the food as shown by G. Hamadej and D. Johnson.

Why, we didn’t even know the fellow in the seat ahead of us— yet. With admiration in our eyes we looked to the up- per classmen for example, or secretly picked our favorite athlete. As Sophomores, many things were yet to be conquered as we continued on our journey. This year more became involved in extra-curricular as well as class activities. As Juniors, a sense of satisfaction filled us as we eagerly pursued our studies which we now realized were so es- sential. We were becoming older, and knew that soon, only too soon, our journey was to end. And then the day arrived. June 6, 1973. Graduation day for 98 Seniors. It seemed impossible that time had passed so quickly. We reached our uphill journey and felt the way mountain climbers would feel after they reached the top of the mountain, and sigh at the beauty of the scene they have so well deserved. Even though we have reached the top of one mountain, we have many more mountain tops to reach in our lifetimes. Class rings, diplomas, and graduation caps symbolize the leaving of a society of youth and entering a society of adults. Entering commencement ceremonies, A. Puhek and N. Zahorsky re- flect on all the wonderful years that have gone by. M. Groyza accept his diploma from School Board Pres., Mr. Hapak. as Principal, Mr. Kountoures, congratulates him. 23 J fltt r I ' r ' f m m Science Students View Production of Steel Advanced Chemistry students D. Johnson and D. Mateja use the titra- tion method in determining the weight of a substance. In the seventh-grade science class, pupils heat ammonium salts with a strong base to produce ammonia gases. By careful observation and experimentation, the sci- ence students delved into the laws and properties of matter. Chemistry students made available the use of ex- periments in the lab to record their findings. The titration method used by the Advanced Chemistry class was helpful to them in their study of quantitative analysis. In late November, the fourteen advanced Chem- istry students, along with their instructor, Mrs. Gergel, viewed the production of steel at the Republic Steel Plant in Chicago. The Health classes acquired knowledge on the various muscles and bones of the human body. Discussions on drug abuse gave the Health students the chance to voice their own opinions on the subject of drugs. The psychology classes gained information on the functions of the brain. They were also introduced to the behavior of an individual’s mind. 26 Karen Tobias observes monoclinic crystals of sulfur as they change to rhomic-shaped crystals. Inquisitive Nancy Markovich makes an incision in the abdomen of a frog with the aid of a pair of scissors. The students in Mr. Sorota s Physics class prepare to note the rate of motion in a moving object. 27 Spanish Students See Man from La Mancha The object of the Spanish course was to acquaint the students with the language, custom, and origin of the Spanish people. First-year pupils were introduced to grammar and vocabulary drills. Second-year students re- cited memorized conversations using motions and ges- tures. The pupils of third and fourth year Spanish put to practice the reading and the writing of the Spanish lan- guage to a greater extent than in their previous years of study. Fourth-year pupils also learned about the penin- sula of Spain with its geographical scenery and variety of racial characteristics. Mr. Taylor, the Spanish instructor embarked with his students on a field trip to Chicago where they viewed the movie, The Man from La Mancha. A Mexican dinner party was held later in the year at a Spanish restaurant. A. Unate peruses through one of the books on Spanish short stories hop- ing to use this as background material for her next show and tell assign- ment in Spanish III. By practicing the textbook’s dialogue, G. Plemons and B. Darlington learn the correct usage of verbs. A typical day in Spanish II shows several of the pupils exemplifying the tme Spanish spirit. 28 Linda Balogh displays her artistic talent as well as her linguistic ability in one of the weekly speeches given in the third-year German class. “I During the second year German class, Jeff Perz discusses the Olympics and how it affected the people of Munich. German Students Plan Annual Trip to Chicago Under Mr. Ulrich’s supervision, the students of the German courses were taught grammar, vocabulary, the usage of verbs, and also an appreciation of the German culture. First-year pupils were introduced to grammar ex- ercises in the workbook and to weekly topic reports based on the dialogues from the textbook. Increasing their vocabulary and improving their verb usage were the goals of the German II student. The students of third and fourth year German quickly became accustomed to the weekly speeches which en- abled them to improve their linguistic ability. A variety of topics were included in the speeches the students delivered. In early December, the German students traveled to Chicago, where they viewed the decorated city in its Christmas attire. Christmas Assembly Highlight of the Year r ' Bk i wl With the accompaniment of Mr. Kometz, several of the girls in fourth period chorus class prepare vocally for an assembly. Laura Henson diligently practices her woodwind instrument for her performance in an upcoming half-time performance. Popular musical tunes can always be heard coming from the band room. This is always apparent especially before an upcoming football or basketball game. For it is then that the band provides delightful entertainment for the students and adults during the halftime of a sporting event. Each Christmas the band and the chorus classes, under the direction of Mr. Gow and Mr. Kometz, combine their talents to bring a worthwile performance to the audito- rium of WHS. A variety of traditional and modern Christmas carols are the chorus’ presentation. During the school year, various assemblies were held in which Mr. Gow, the band director, gave solos on the in- struments which the band owns. Debbie Burgess carefully practices her instrument hoping to play through her part without any errors. 30 Art Students Display Artistic Talent During the Christmas season, Mrs. Demkovich com- piled the completed projects of her art students to pro- duce a display for all students and faculty to enjoy. First-year art pupils were given the opportunity to create clay figurines, Plaster-of-Paris figures, and became familar with the use of pastels, chalks, and oil paints. With the aid of Mrs. Demkovich, these students were able to use their hands to produce objects of art. The Advanced Art students used their creative ability to produce oil paintings with the theme of tranquility represented in their work. Regional art shows and contests were held in which representatives from WHS were present. Bob O ' Donnell proudly displays to his fellow students the accom- plishments of another student. Onerf the many talented second-year art students, Barbara Lepacek, adds the finishing touches to her oil painting which depicts a tranquil winter 31 Accuracy Stressed in the Business Courses First year typing student Dave Gajewski finds it difficult to install a new typewriter ribbon in his machine. The future clerks, secretaries, and stenographers of WHS became exposed to a variety of new topics for discussion. Teachers of both Typing I and II emphasized the sig- nificance of intense concentration and accuracy. The stu- dents used devices such as speed and agility in their timed writings. One of the new features in Typing I was the acquisition of Typing textbooks. Bookkeeping classes were taught the process of audit- ing, and discussions were held on the problems created by inflation. The shorthand pupils were shown a new type of writ- ing which placed emphasis on gramatical structures and punctuation. Dictating and transcribing letters were but a few of the activities of the second year shorthand students. E. Peterson and J. Sambor find necessary computations can be calcu- Mike Knish uses his workbook to explain the procedure for correcting lated through the use of an adding machine. bank accounts. 32 Proper Regimen Taught to Home Ec Students The cooking classes of WHS were taught the essential principles of proper food preparation and the serving of these foods. The baking of pumpkin pies, luscious cakes and cookies, and innumerable three-course dinners were just a few of the girl’s accomplishments in their year in Home Economics. On many occasions, the future home- makers distributed to their friends the products of their endeavors in the kitchen. Prospective seamstresses were trained in the art of carefully choosing a pattern and materials suited to their own tastes. Under the supervision of Mrs. Wagner, Home Ec instructor, the girls learned meaningful instructions on personal appearance and on poise. Sue Dado watches carefully as she sews the final dart on her brightly- colored vest. After carefully preparing a meal of spaghetti and meatballs, An- nette Unate and Mary Ruth Buksar sit down to enjoy the meal served to them by Carol Biedron. 33 Senior Literature Class Views Macbeth The English classes of WHS afforded each student with opportunity to have an increased knowledge of the basic principles of sentence formation and the usage of correct diction. The Freshmen read numerous mythological stories and enacted the play, Romeo and Juliet. Sophomore classes set their goal at the reading and act- ing out popular novels to the best of their ability. Besides oral presentation, grammar and sentence diagramming were also covered. The Juniors read current magazines and gave oral book reports with the aid of colorful collages. Senior grammar classes were required to hand in a typewritten term paper whose theme was based on a cur- rent issue of the day. The Senior Literature class embarked on a trip to a lo- cal theater to view the movie, Macbeth. Speech students actively participate in the unrehearsed Two of the Freshmen English students do a modem re-en-actment of the play, Romeo and Juliet. Boh Markovich uses encyclo- pedias and reference books to complete his term paper for Senior English class. pantomime which brought laughs and fun to all. George Harangody, John O ' Mara and Carol Peters participate in the daily Economics class activities by checking the rise and the fall of their stock purchases. John Jubera and Kim Gates lead the classroom on a discussion of the Italians’ role in the rebi rth of Greek and Roman culture. 36 New Teacher Adapts To Whiting Atmosphere Pupils of the Social Studies classes acquired knowledge relating to the nations of the world. In World History and U.S. History, students were enlightened about the world in which they now live. By studying and drawing maps, the pupils gained an understanding of the regions in the eastern and western hemispheres. World Problems class comprehended world devel- opments by reading various magazines and newspapers. Through a better understanding of the world, students can find solutions to the problems facing it. A former student of WHS, Mr. Nick Cmkovich re- turned to his alma mater to teach Government classes. Along with Mr. Adkins, Civics instructor, they conducted a mock election to see which candidates were most likely to be elected to the various positions that were open in our government. During a debate in Civics, M. Stolinan finds it difficult to answer one of the perplexing questions asked by his classmates. One of the subjects talked about in World Problems class by M. Meyers and K. Puhek is the problem and the possible solution of air pollution. 37 Modem Equipment Aids Math Department With the acquisition of an electric calculator and a new system of renting the General Business Math text- books, many of the students acquired an interest in the field of mathematics. The algebra classes explored the study of positive and negative numbers in expressing relationships between quantities. The study of geometry gave students the opportunity to reason out for themselves the solutions to proofs and theorems. General Business Math pupils worked out percentage problems and learned the correct way to fill out check stubs and checks. Senior Math pupils probed into the system of numbers and had a general review of the system of logarithms. Geometry student Steve Grabovac gives the formula for the area and the perimeter of a pyramid to his class. Trying to see if even books can make mistakes are Stan Hapak and Joe Furto as they test the validity of one of the answers. 38 Algebra student Mike Hrinyo competes with another pupil at the board to finish a proportio- nal equation. D. Wolfe and G. Curosh guide the Advanced Algebra class in a review of finding the volume of a sphere. 39 Sportsmanship Promoted in Boys’ Gym Creg Rewers attempts to make a pass completion to his teammate, Al- lan Plewniak. In their drive for physical fitness, the boys’ gym classes held daily sessions with calisthenics and vigorous games of football and basketball. By the use of the weight-lifting machine, the boys strengthend their stomach and arm muscles. Mr. Zubeck, gym teacher, gave useful tips to his pupils on football strategy, running patterns, and discussed the various formations used in football by college and profes- sional teams. Mr. Divjak taught the boys basketball techniques which dealt with rhythm and the proper mental attitude for a good performance in work and play. Instructions on serving and spiking in a volleyball game were also taught to the students. During the spring, the gym classes went to the practice field to participate in softball games. As a part of his physical fitness program, Walter Heyden starts each morning with daily calisthenics. 40 Physical Fitness Emphasized in Girls’ Gym Under the supervision of Mrs. Sheffer, girls’ gym in- structor, the girls’ physical education classes endeavored to improve their muscle tone. Through participation in archery, volleyball, basketball, and badminton, each girl had the opportunity to improve her co-ordination. By excerising to music the girls learned a fun way to stay slim and trim. Mrs. Sheffer taught the girls poise and balance while performing on the balance beam. Working on the horse and with the miniature trampoline, the girls formed their own tumbling routines. The advanced gym classes took numerous trips to parks on bicycles to strengthen their leg muscles. Pictures of various athletes surrounded the gym with the theme of fair play and a positive attitude toward all forms of sporting events. In a vigorous game of basketball, Gail Kobli attempts to drive in for a shot, but is stopped by her opponent I .aura Henson. The advanced gym class participates in a volleyball game using the proper volleying and serving techniques. Power Mechanics students Mike Keith and Paul Sparks re- assemble a motor after having studied its basic parts. Print Shop students J. Keith, T. Bercik, J. Stahura, and T. Murga use the press to print Basketball tickets. 42 From their endeavors in the industrial art classes, stu- dents accumulated knowledge from the expert tutelage of the teachers and from the use of precision tools. All students in the shop classes learned to budget their time by making an outline of their work. This avoided the pos- sibility of making any errors. In Mechanical and Architectural Drawing, the boys were taught the fundamentals of reading and checking blueprints and sketches. Wood shop classes learned to operate tools with accu- racy and efficiency in their daily work assignments. One of the functions of the Print Shop was to print tickets and programs for the football and basketball seasons. Making use of the drilling attachment on the Bridgeport vertical mil- ling machine is Phil Mateja. Steve Slivka concentrates on making accurate angles as he constructs a roof in Architectural Drawing. Special Trades Learned in Shop Classes Working diligently to finish his Wood Shop project is Mike Groyza as he surfaces a board on the jointer. 1973 We’ve Just Begun to Develop Our Social Life Nurses’ Club Sponsors Thanksgiving Drive Promoting girls interest in the field of medicine was the main objective behind the formation of the new orga- nization, the Nurses’ Club. Joining the club were twelve aspiring girls who hope to obtain a better understanding of what a nursing career has to offer. The only requirements for membership in the club were a strong desire and interest in such a field. Under the supervision of school nurse Mrs. Arlene Ku- backi, the club conducted several activities. In October plans were made for a Thanksgiving food drive. Each day members would visit homerooms to collect dry goods and canned goods. This food was then given to needy families throughout the community. A field trip to a nearby hospital gave the girls an in- sight to the daily duties of nursing. Guest speakers and informal talk sessions among the girls helped to give answers to any of their puzzling questions. Packing the food that they have collected for needy families through- out the community are Nurse’s Club members. Nurses Cl ub — (Front Row) A. Unate, J. DuFallo, R. Krizo, L. Gacsko. (Second Row) N.

Now a dif- ferent look has been added to our halls. Since each grade was put in charge of decorating a designated floor, more signs were displayed to boost the morale of the players. Another change was that club membership dues were collected during the second quarter instead of the first. Throughout the year so much spirit was shown, whether it l)e by signs in the halls, the participation in cheers at the games, or from the attitudes of the students in general, that many people remarked that Whiting truly had tremendous school spirit. The Booster Club also sponsored the Sectional Sweet- heart Dance which celebrates both the basketball sec- tionals and St. Valentines Day. Half-time dilemna begins as Booster Club members eagerly try to catch mini-basketballs. 47 G.A.C. Gives Girls Get Up and Go The purpose of the Girls’ Athletic Club is to stimulate an interest in keeping one’s self in good physical condi- tion as well as providing entertainment. Volleyball, swimming, basketball, deck tennis, gymnas- tics and badmitton were the activities chosen by the offi- cers of the G.A.C. The girls efforts are recognized at the end of the year when they are presented with awards at the G.A.C. ban- quet. The awards are presented to those girls who com- pleted six sports during the year. G.A.C. Officers— S. Ubik, Vice-Pres., L. Balogh, Float Chairman, L. Cu- rosh. President, M. Odlivak, Treas. T.

Art Club Celebrates Christmas with Party Sprinkling bits of holiday cheer around the school as they do every year, the Art Club brightened the halls, doors, windows, and walls of Whiting High with their joyous and whimsical Christmas decorations. Snowmen, santas, and Christmas greetings were just some of the scenes of display. Through these decorations, each mem- ber is able to express his creativeness and imagination. Not only did they show their Christmas spirit by decora- ting, but they also held a Christmas party for all club members. In May, a student who shows an interest and desire to enter the field of art is chosen to attend the Art Institute of Chicago. Mrs. Demkovich, art teacher, chooses the in- dividual whom she feels will benefit most from the scholarship. Art Club Officers— D. Goodall, Treasurer, G.

Cookie Sales Help Finance Trips Jumping from happiness as you are selected to be a ca- det teacher, selling cupcakes and cookies every Wednes- day, crowding a bus to visit a college, these are just some of the activities sponsored by the F.T.A. Not only does F.T.A. give students a chance to participate in fun-filled events, but it also inables them to learn the modem meth- ods of teaching. Under the guidance of primary principal, Mr. Joseph Piatek, girls chosen as cadet teachers are able to work with teachers on the elementary level of education. One of the projects undertaken by the F.T.A. is the selling of cookies such as this one being sold by J. Bright to B. Henson. M F.T.A. Officers— Mrs. Depeugh, Club Sponsor, B. Etter, Secre- tary, T.

Spanish Classes View “Man from La Mancha” The Spanish Club not only provides entertainment for its members, but also supplies a colorful background and a better understanding of Spanish speaking people and their way of life. The club achieves this goal by visiting museums, viewing movies and filmstrips, and of course just listening to the many fascinating stories told by Mr. Taylor. The Spanish Club sponsors activities such as the vol- leyball games between the Spaniards and the Germans, and an all Spanish Club assembly. The highlight of the clubs activities is the annual Christmas party. This fea- tures the breaking of the pinata by the Spanish Club pres- ident, the singing of Christmas carols with the accom- paniment of Mr. Taylor, and the serving of the ever pop- ular tacos. This year the Spanish classes planned a trip to Chicago to view the movie, “Man from La Mancha”. Before the movie students ate lunch at the Pickle Barrel restaurant and then visited Old Town. Singers from “Fonda del Lago” restaurant entertain Spanish Club members at annual Christmas party. Spanish Club Officers— (Seated) T. Hrinyo, Secretary. (Standing) Mr. Taylor, Club Sponsor, G.

Beginning in October with the Homecoming parade, the German Club placed third in the car category. The club then continued to compete against the Spanish Club in many ways. The goal of a Spring field trip inspired members to sell candy once again this year as they do every year. Although the membership was small, the members en- joyed the benefits of the organization by participating in the events of the club. With the aid of Mr. Ulrich, the of- ficers planned many things to interest the club members. All in all, the “Deutsche Verien” at WHS opened Ger- man widely to its members during 1972-1973 hoping that each member would enjoy and benefit from the club. German Club Officers — ( Front Row) L.

Points may be earned by partici- pating in a play, stage-crew, costume-crew, make-up- crew, or ticket committee. This year two plays were presented through the help of Miss Helen Stecy, sponsor. In the fall, a dramatic pro- duction was presented. This year the drama was “Our Town ’. “Guys and Dolls” was selected to be the spring musical. The success of the plays depend upon the enthu- siasm of the Thespians and the actors who participate so avidly in the production. The motto of the Thespians in Troop 856 is “Act well your part; there all the honor lies.” Each Thespian trys his best to live up to the motto, for each knows it is true. Thespian member, Elaine Oster, checks costumes to see if any repairs need to be made before the next production. Thespians— (Front Row) J. DuFallo, J. Kontol, K. Hart, S. Mahony, G. Harangody, N.

The aim of the club is to pro- mote friendship among girls of all ages and grades. Annual activities of the club include The Big Sister- Little Sister party at which the senior girls receive the freshmen girls as their little sisters. The Mothers Day Tea is also a big event which honors the girls’ mothers. A special feature of the club is a guest speaker who is invited to talk to the members on topics concerning make-up, fashions, etiquette, and other everyday problems.

Being a member of the ensemble enables the girls to participate in school as well as outside performances. During the Christmas season they entertained the student body at an assembly, sang at restaurant, hospitals, and organizations, and caroled throughout the halls of the junior and senior high buildings. On December 26, the Ensemble were guests on local radio station, WJOB. The girls were able to witness a ra- dio station in operation as well as delight listeners throughout the region with their beautiful Christmas carols. Morning Chorus — (Front Row) S. Rowden, N.

During classroom time, members of the club observe the properties and changes of energy and matter. Experiments proving the accepted principals of matter in motion are applied by the stu- dents. It can be said the experimenting is one of the activ- ities of the club. The club membership consists of juniors and seniors who are enrolled in the Physics class. Careful selection of officers was the first thing on the itenerary of the club. Under the supervision of Mr. John Sorota, club sponsor, members of the Physics Club held many enterprising ac- tivities. Among these activities is a computer dance held in late spring. The proceeds from the dance go into the club treasury. At the end of the year the members treat themselves by going to a local restaurant for a full-course meal. Physics Officers — (Front Row) B.

These students are allowed to voice constructive suggestions and criticisms along with setting up standard rules for behavior. It can be said that the Student Council serves as a mediator between the administration and the students. Sponsoring Homecoming is the special event the Council undertakes. They are responsible for the corona- tion ceremonies at the football field as well as the dance after the game. Meetings are held at least once a month. This year The members tried to get films to show the student body at assemblies. Mr. David Smith is the sponsor of the Student Council. Student Council Officers— D. Mateja, Sec.; G.

This gives athletes a chance to earn school letters and sweaters as awards for their athletic accomplishments. In football and basketball players must participate in fifty per cent of the quarters to earn a letter, while base- ball players must play in fifty per cent of the innings. Wrestlers must acquire at least one point per meet as well as track and cross country competitors. Mr. Ron Divjak and Mr. William Rebey sponsor the organization and assist in any activities the boys wish to undertake. W’ Club Officers— (Kneeling) J. Vetrocsky, Sec.; T. Bereik, Vice-Pres.

During a student’s four years of high school, he is given the op- portunity to receive four scholarship “W’s”. When a stu- dent has acquired four “W’s”, a green “W” is stamped on that students diploma. To be elected into the National Honor Society is one of the greatest honors bestowed upon any high school student. Scholarship, leadership, service, and character are the basic constituents in being chosen a member. The names of students possessing these qualities are submitted for vote to the faculaty. Five members of the junior class are elected in the Spring and become the club officers, while ten additional seniors are chosen the following winter.

The TAT- TLER not only entertains the students, but it also informs them of school happenings. This year the TATTLER has a new look. A picture sec- tion has been included in each edition. The pictures seem to liven-up the paper as well as show students what is go- ing on around Whiting High. Also the use of side head- lines was initiated. This summer L. Curosh, Editor, and S. Mahony, Assis- tant Editor, attended a journalism institute at Indiana University. They learned the various techniques of news- paper make-up and the fundamentals of journalism. Mrs. Dorothy Curtis is sponsor. Nina Janik makes final touches on a Christmas layout as Neil Boyle and Mary Eliz O’Donnell check copy for errors.

Michel, J. DuFallo, and A. Unate. To the REFLECTOR staff September not only means the beginning of another school year, but also starting the production of another yearbook. Preparation for the RE- FLECTOR began this summer when the Editor-in Chief, Judy DuFallo, and Co-Editor, Renee Michel attended a journalism institute at Indiana University to learn the ba- sic fundamentals of producing a yearbook. In October the subscription drive was held, and later the design and the color of the cover was chosen by the staff. In the Spring of 1972, Mr. Mihalo chose six juniors who showed an interest in journalism to be members of the staff. Along with the previous staff they worked to make a successful yearbook. The staff was kept busy writing copy and captions and making layouts until they pro- duced the 1973 yearbook. Andy Puhek, photographer, trys to figure out how to use some of the B- Etter and A.

Lunch Hour Practices Improve Band This year the word around the bandroom has been “rebuild.” Due to bad scheduling and other things, the band was greatly reduced in number this year. Mr. Gow, however, has made the most of a bad situation. By giving those students who are not in his class a chance to prac- tice during lunch hours, he kept his entire band in step with the times. The band still entertained at many athletic events, and delighted audiences with their well rehearsed concerts. Also gaining popularity with Clark- Whiting students alike, is the Clark-Whiting Stage Band. Performing throughout the area was one of the many ways this group achieved fame. The stage band performed during assem- blies for students of both schools during the month of December. Mr. Gow is confident that the band will do well in state-wide competition. The contests take place in Terre Haute in early Spring. Percussion Section— C. Smolen, R. Jones, G. Bajzatt, S. Abner. Woodwin Section — (Front Row) M. Bialon, T. Hrinyo, L. Shake, L. Henson, E.

The Oilerettes, consisting of twenty- five girls, performed for half-time ceremonies during the basketball and football seasons. Choreography was created by head Oilerettes. The Oilerettes were aided by Mr. Gow, band director. They met on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the boys’ gym. Some night rehearsels were held at the Community Cen- ter. The girls diligently practiced their routines and learned to be precise with the rhythm of the music, as well as learning to execute their routines with much accuracy. A chicken dinner and raffles helped the Oilerettes fi- nance the cost of new uniforms. Oilerettes — (¥ ront Row) T. Hrinyo, K. Gates, M. Biiksar. (Second Row) T. Buffington, D. Goodall, M. Vanek, R.

Now many girls have invaded the realm where once only cheerleaders dared to go. Two years ago, an or- ganization called stat girls was started by Coach Ron Divjak. This organization was made up of five girls who kept statistics for the basketball team. This trend was soon followed by Coach Rebey who introduced the mat maids. These girls do virtually the same things as stat girls, only in a wrestling atmosphere. Not only do they help the team at game-time, but they also help with fund-raising projects. Without the help of these dedicated young ladies, the athletic department would not only be less efficient, but probably alot duller. S tat Girls — (Front Row) J. Davenport, M. McFadden.

Four girls and two boys, each as- signed to a designated hour, perform many tasks for of- fice personal and teachers. They also are in charge of col- lecting absentee slips and filling out attendance sheets. Also giving up valuable time to better serve the stu- dent body are the concession workers. They work at bas- ketball and football games throughout the season. Not only do they sacrifice seeing the games, but they also have the difficult task of boxing popcorn, making change, and helping small children make the choice between a candy bar and a package of gum. After excited Oiler fans depart with memories of the nights sports event, these pupils remain to clean up the concession stands. Volunteers who work at the concession stands through- out the sports season are rewarded with points toward G.A.C. awards. Monitors— G. Kubacki, A. Michalak, K. Hart, S, VVeiand, M. McFadden, N.

These girls benefited from the experience in many ways. If they plan to pursue teaching as a lifetime career, the time they spend in these classrooms can be of valuable help to each girl as she makes up her mind if a career in teaching is really for her. The children enjoy having the girls “tutor” them too. In the Senior High building, assistants to head librar- ian, Miss Sheldon, aided many of the students. They helped them with articles, locating books, preparing term papers and checking out library material. The students who participated in the library work also aided Miss Sheldon in a number of ways. This special “class” is a great help to anyone who is interested in library work as a career. Lilmiriam— (Kneeling) R. I.ingvay, B. Markovich. (Standing) B. Etter, A. Bodrazic, J.

More than determination, it takes natural speed to win. For the Oilers it was a long spring someone always proved to be faster. Key injuries and inexperience plagued the Oilers throughout the season. Although the young squad did perform to the best of their abilities, the team as a whole registered a poor record. Because of this record no one person was selected as the most valuable runner. The future looks definitely brighter for Coach King with almost the entire squad returning and in- coming freshmen competing for varsity positions. TRACK OPP.

Spending many hours practicing swings, drives, and putts, the Whiting team set out to make the 1972 golf season one of the best in Whiting’s history. Coached by Ron Divjak, the golf team finished the season with an impressive 4-5 record. Top man Jeff Blahunka showed consistent and well controlled play, while Steve Warzyniak filled in with needed low scores in crucial moments to assure a victory. The main problem last spring could be traced to a lack of experience, but with practically the whole squad re- turning with one year experience, Whiting has a chance to reverse its close losses and to be a strong contender in 1973.

But weak hitting and inconsistent pitching, along with the seemingly always present prob- lem of inexperience, were the causes of the Oilers poor showing. Many of their losses were in the final innings of the game. Their spirit throughout the season was “sky high,” and the team never let defeat get them down. Seeing a lot of action during the season for the Oilers were juniors Mike Knish, Phil Mateja, Stan Hapak and Hugh McNinch. Gaining valuable experience for the fu- ture were sophomores Butch Curosh, Pete Pavlina, Dave Prucy, Bruce Stolman and Joe Stahura. Coaches Fritz and Kompier are very optimistic about future seasons for the Oilers, but they are hoping that with all but one lettermen returning to the squad, that Whiting will once again clinch the title in the Western Alliance Conference. Straining to meet the ball with a forceful bat, Phil Mateja prepares to run the bases. Varsity Baseball -( Front Row) S. Gormley, P. Mateja, W. Heyden, M. Groyza, D. Purcy, L. Dernay, G. Bajzatt, J.

Inexperience Plagues Thinclads Season Having only six returning lettermen. Coach Rebey molded six new members and seven returning boys into a new team. Though not a winning season, the harriers im- proved from their previous performances. The Oilers came in a winner twice during the season. In a dual meet, Whiting beat Gavit 20-35. In a quadrangular meet, Whit- ing came in third beating River Forest 27-29. For their outstanding performances ribbons were presented to Tom Bielawski, John Lovasko, Tom Linco, and George Wilkins.

With the help of Coach Klosek and Coach Surdy, the Oiler Squad proved to be strong both mentally and physically. After opening the season with losses to E. C. Washington, Hammond High, and Gavit, the young gridders, lead by Jack Vetroczky and Tom Alexander, took a 28-0 victory over the Hammond Tech Tigers. The next game proved to be another mark in the Oilers’ favor with a 28-14 victory over Roosevelt. Disappointment once again hit the “Big Green Machine” as it fell to the Morton Governors in a 12-6 finish. With a 2-4 record un- der their belts, the freshmen took a disappointing tie to the Hammond Clark Pioneers in a stormy 0-0 finish. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL OPP. WHS E. C.

Oilers End Dismal Season With 1-8 Record Phil Mateja addresses the student body at a football pep assembly be- fore the big Homecoming game against Morton. Junior Dave Gajewski (62) is escorted off the field by Coach Fritz and Coach Zubeck after sustaining an injury in the game. Autumn and the start of school renewed activity in the camp of the Whiting gridders. Hoping to make amends for the previous year’s finish, the Oilers despite the 90 weather commenced with three daily work-outs. The first offical tilt pitted the Oilers against Griffith, which ended in a 21-7 loss. Bouncing back, the Oilers downed a stubborn Lowell team 18-8, but from then on things went downhill with five consecutive losses. Homecoming was next on the schedule with the Oilers facing state-ranked Morton. But no matter how the Oil- ers tried, they could not get on the scoreboard, and the game ended in a 36-0 finish. With the hopes of a success- ful season shattered, the Oilers fell to Clark in what was to be their last game as a member of the Lake Shore Con- ference League. VARSITY FOOTBALL OPP.

This year the freshmen basketball players saw plenty of action as the young hoopsters compiled a 7-9 record. Their victories include ravaging wins over such teams as Hammond Tech, Bishop Noll, and River Forest. The freshmen team is used as a training for future B- squad and varsity competition with each player getting into every game as many minutes as possible. FRESHMEN BASKETBALL OPP.

Carrying the bulk of the load for a 15-5 season and as- suring the team strength were the big three— Bruce Stol- man, Dan Shaner, and John Haynes. By hauling down numberous rebounds, these titans were able to ignite the fast break which was so essential to our game plan. Dan Shaner dribbles down the court past Morton players for another two points. B-SQUAD OPP. WHS Mentone 33 39 Hanover Central 44 40 Hammond Tech 51 41 E. C.

The Oilers’ nigged de- fense along with their high-powered offense led them to a 12-8 season record and a Holiday Tournament champion- ship over the River Forest Ingots and state-ranked Ho- bart Brickies. As sectionals arrived, Whiting went into the game against Munster with high spirits, but found their spirits broken by the astounding performance of the Munster Mustangs. Try as they may, the Oilers could not come out of a cold shooting streak, while Munster hit on almost all their free throw shots. With these two things against them, the Oilers fell with a heart-breaking 60-58 loss. With the close of the basketball season, individual achievements were bestowed upon senior Mike Mikula as he became the leading scorer in the region with a 21.7 average. Alex Kountoures also pitched in with a 15 point average per game. Coach Ron Divjak instructs his boys on what strategy to use in the next quarter. Varsity Basketball— G. Hamadej, M. Knish, S.

The team was hobbled with a rash of injuries to key men throughout the year and was unable to perform at its best. But the matmen facing the toughest com- petition in years grappled their way to two first place rib- bons in the Lake Shore Conference Tournament. John Home and David Gajewski paced our grapplers in the 177 lb. and 185 lb. classes. Other high finishers were Greg Furto (105) and Pete Pavlina (155), who placed fourth in their classes; and George Mahony (98) who finished in third place. B-SQUAD WRESTLING OPP. WHS Gavit 48 12 E. C.

Matmen Show Promise Under Coach Rebey The Whiting wrestlers opened the 72-73 season with wins over Bishop Noll, River Forest, North Newton, and Hanover Central. The grapplers showed Coach Rebey good balance in their attack by winning four of the eight matches. As the season progressed, the squad’s success depended upon the performances of several individuals duals. Jack Vetroczky (112), a sophomore, was effective in the early season, and will be a cornerstone for future years. In the 98-lb. class, Mike Groyza showed finesse on the mat and strength in the point column, with a 14-4 personal tally. Jeff Slivka drew praise in the 145-lb. class, finishing 9-6 for the season. In a decisive match, Bernie Svitko struggles to pin his opponent for points needed to take the lead. VARSITY WRESTLING OPP. WHS Griffith 45 11 Morton 38 22 Clark 49 12 E. C.

Daily workouts beginning in Au- gust made the cheerleaders ready and raring to go as football season approached. At the first basketball game, the cheerleaders found that the cheering section wasn’t very enthusiastic. To build up the spirit, the cheerleaders held a pep session in which they discussed the problem with the student body. Their attempt proved to be successful as the cheering block turned out to be one of the most enthusiastic cheer- ing sections ever. Cheerleading sponsor is Mrs. Barbara Sheffer.

Juniors Prepare for Role as Leaders Entering the ranks of upperclassmen, juniors energeti- cally plunged into the 1972-73 school year. Coming together during Homecoming, the class of ’74 sponsored a prize winning float entitled “Hold That Line.” Debbie Wolfe led the junior class as their Home- coming attendant and Greg Kubacki served as her escort. The Football O’Rama Dance was the first activity sponsored by the Juniors. The dance, featuring Jubal For- est, which was open to all of the students from the the other schools participating in the O’Rama, was a huge success. Then amidst a flurry of studying and exams, the year ended as quickly as it had begun. Excitement now ran high amongst the Juniors as they now found themselves receiving the long-awaited title of “Seniors.” Acheson, B., Allen, S., Bailey, T., Balogh, L., Bartko, D., Bayless, G., Bednar, L., Bercik, T.

Junior girls proudly display their float entitled “Hold That Line” after having won first place in the Homecoming Parade. 113 Neither soap, nor suds, nor soaking of clothes will dampen the spirit of the Sophomores. Sophomores Purchase The Class of 1975, as second-year citizens of Whiting High School, showed their pep, enthusiasm, and loyalty as they continually displayed their school spirit as de- voted school members. With the class sponsoring a profitable car wash and bake sale in the earlier part of the school year, they raised enough money to cover the expeases of Home- coming and the annual Freshman-Sophomore Party. These activities gave the Sophomore class the idea of be- coming one of the best classes in Whiting’s history. Homecoming found the Sophomores electing Lynn Vajda as their class attendant. Joe Skvarek was her escort throughout the traditional Homecoming festivities. To add to the excitement of Homecoming, the Sophomore class decorated the first place car for the spirit award. The theme of their car was “Bust ’Em.” The long awaited arrival of the class rings was fulfilled in March with joyous expectations. Aguilera, A.; Alexander, T.; After berry.

The Freshmen’s first activity was the election of class officers. Along with their class sponsor, these officers led the class in promoting a car wash and bake sale which were held in the beginning of the school year. The profits from these two activities were added to the class treasury as a basis for the Fresh- man-Sophomore Party which in the end turned out to be a memorable evening for all who attended it. The entire Freshman class collalx) rated in producing a first place car for the Homecoming Parade. Riding on their car was Denise Paucak and her escort Mike Hruskocy. With the start of high school sports, the Freshmen ex- perienced their first taste of real competition and the true meaning of good sportsmanship. Freshman sponsor, B. Sheldon helps J.

Years speed on as well as time. We find ourselves adults, no longer children. The protective walls crumble around us. We are left to face the cludlenging world. Who will succeed, who will fail? Ours is to determine the future. The road of life still lingers for miles; For we have only just begun. - 1973 Editors— Marie Zemen, Associate Editor; Judy Du- Fallo, Editor-in-Chief; Renee Michel, Associate Editor. 1973 REFLECTOR STAFF Mr. Michael Mihalo Yearbook Advisor Mr. John Lovasko Photographer Mr. George Kingsley, Jr Paragon Yearbook Representative Judy DuFallo Editor-in-Chief Renee Michel Associate Editor Marie Zemen Associate Editor Linda Balogh Ads, Index Judy DuFallo School Life, Organizations Betti Etter Sports Kathy Jerzyk Personalities Barbara Lepacek Ads Renee Michel Sports Jean Moskalick Academics, Index Andy Puhek Photographer Adrienne Semancik School Life Annette Unate Organizations Sheri Weiand : Ads Marie Zemen Academics, Personalities Marie Zorich Personalities 1973 REFLECTOR Staff— Mr. Mihalo, Advisor; A.
