We are drawn to non-conformity as we search for a way to make our lives different from the young lives of these in generations before us. The newness of the times in which we are living gives us a spirit of dis- covery. We yearn to be representa- tions of the new and the better things that are now within our reach.

Each indi- vidual, from freshmen to seniors, was stepping up yet one more rung on the ladder towards the goal of graduation. Things happened on the way up that ladder that marked changes in the lives of everyone in- volved.

One of the major highlights of spring is the Junior-Senior Prom, sponsored by the junior class. After a memorable evening at the Ramada Inn, couples Joe Stefanich and Karen Tobias, Marie Zorich and Terry Oemeter spend a few moments posing for the photographer. b Instant Replay Things Come Alive! The annual Mother ' s Day Tea was another special event in the spring that was attended by J. Hruskocy, N. Mohr, and Mrs. D, Mohr. Spring came to Whiting in 1973 with many changes seen on both the national and local levels. The newly-uncovered Watergate Scandal had begun to influence the political viewpoints of many Americans. In addition to this sur- prising event, the launching of the space-craft SKYLAB I had begun what was later to become a series of manned space probes, all in or- der to find answers. Here at Whiting High School, stu- dents were busy preparing them- selves for final exams, the Prom, and summer. Members of the class of 74 were excited at the prospect of being able to fill the special va- cancy left by the recent graduates of WHS by changing its eighty- eight members from juniors to se- niors at the turn of a class ring and bringing them closer to June. Instant Replay 7 Precious and Few Are the Moments . . . May 23, 1973: a beautiful, warm, moonlit spring evening. As the time reached 7:00 P.M., many of the girls from Whiting High were put- ting the finishing touches on their appearances; gowns flowed around them, flowers adorned their wrists, and formal hairstyles were patted one last time before their dates, attired in tuxedos, ar- rived. Then off they went to the ballroom where dream after dream was to come true. A sweet memory of the spring of 1973, Precious and Few was a night not soon to be forgotten. After the event, post-prom topped every- thing off with more music and fun, and memories.

Smith on a trip to Angola, Indiana by the members of the WHS band. Nothing could be more peaceful than a soli- tary walk along the warm lakeshore. Summer brought a lakefront celebration to Whiting as grand as th e summer itself. On July fourth, students Annmarie Ruszbasan and Kathy Marko visited the carnival to take part in the festivities, and found that a ride on the merry-go-round brings back memo- ries of younger days. When it starts to get hot outside, it ' s time to start melting inside. The sweltering summer tem- peratures proved to be too much for Sally Allen, who decides to relax a bit. The Lakefront Swelters; Summer Sizzles 1973. At the close of school in June, sum- mer brought more changes around both our community and the entire nation. The national economy be- gan fluctuating as prices jumped higher than ever. SKYLAB II was launched in order to continue the efforts of her pioneer sister. Here in town, Whiting was On The Move with a growing and progressing business district. A gala fourth of July celebration swept through town, bringing outdoor activities to a peak. Styles changed, and 119th Street became a small melting pot of ever-changing teenage fashions. Townspeople were turning their at- tention towards the baseball sea- son, with Chicago one of the teams in close contention for a shot at the World Series. Summer school was in session, and sophomores took to the streets in Driver Education cars. Many students were busy with jobs; others occupied them- selves at beaches and local hang- outs, watching summer change to fall. Every other summer, members of the Spanish Club at Whiting High School are given the oppor- tunity to go on a trip to Mexico. During the 1973 trip, B. Stolman and N. Mohr befriend a pirate. Instant Replay 11 Books, Lockers, Football: It ' s September Again Sooner than most of the students had expected, fall had reached Oli- ver Street, and the newness of the season made the students eagerly exchange bathing suits for jackets, radios for books, and carefree days for 8:20 to 3:15 workdays. Even though the warm weather had started to fade, the fiery spirit be- hind the Oilers ignited their pride in Whiting High School, and once that happened, a chain reaction of memorable events took place. Then things really happened! With the beginning of the 1973-74 school year, football headed the list of sports attractions for the Oilers. The fans were entertained by the pom-pom squad at each game. Caught in the act! Hurriedly trying to return to the building that they were seen leaving just a bit too early are mischeivious students Molly Geary, Lydia Gajewski and Gail Kobli. During an Oiler football game, Oilerettes leannie Odlivak and Rosann Sabot find Mary Beth Michalak ' s “passing of an out- of-bounds football amusing. The support of the entire student body during the 1973-74 football season was overwhelming. Even though the Oilers were defeated in their homecoming football battle, the fans never once showed any lack of the hot spirit that carried them within two points of victory. After the depressing defeat on the field, the students flocked to the gym to kick off their shoes and dance the night away. 14 Instant Replay 1973 Homecoming Queen and Court— Va- nessa Gigac, frosh. attendant; Maureen Demeter, soph, attendant; Sandi Rogina, sr. attendant; Beverly Wallace, Queen; Donna Allen, sr. attendant; Sue Gyure, jr. attendant. Before their performance, the band and the Oilerettes review the routines and music for the halftime entertainment. Reaches Epidemic Stages tant R During the week prior to October the 12th, 531 cases of Oiler Fever were reported at Whiting High School. This contagious condition spread like wildfire from student to student bringing symptoms of ex- citement and anticipation to them all. On the eve of the homecoming festivities a parade passed through the main street of town, exhibiting the many floats and banners that the students had spent days in pre- paring. The nominees for the title of Homecoming Queen were brimming with excitement as the memorable night approached. On the night of Homecoming, after a spirited day at school, all of the work that was put into the flower- making parties and sign painting sessions reached fever pitch, as the best-decorated cars and floats were announced. To add to the cli- max of a very hectic week, Queen Beverly Wallace was crowned. Even though the Mighty Big Green Machine fell to its first defeat, it was a night to remember. Coach Nick Crnkovich says a few words to the student body at the morning pep session in or- der to boost the spirits of the team and the fans. Winter Crisis Before going outside to face the cold nippy- frost of the winter air, Marilu Gregor stops for a rest. 16 Instant Replay Brings Energy and More Changes Well into the new school year, stu- dents began to feel the frostiness of yet another Northern Indiana winter. Throughout the nation, a severe Energy Crisis had begun to change the lives of millions of Americans. Fuel prices went up, and temperatures came down. At WHS, heavy coats and boots now replaced the typical football game attire of October and November, and basketball and wrestling soon headed the list of athletic attrac- tions for the Oilers. Classes be- came more involved with each passing day. Clubs all around the school were busy planning the ac- tivities of it ' s members. Now only midway between the beginning and the end of the school year, the students knew they were only one step away from changing tomorrow. Winter also brought Christmas, of course. Here is a sample of the decor. Instant Replay 17 Nanci Is Sweetheart Busy putting the final touches on her name heart is senior sweetheart nominee Debbi Goodall. February brought much more than cold weather to Whiting High. To a very lucky senior girl, it held the title of 1974 Sectional Sweetheart. On February 16, a dance was held in order to announce the Queen and her court for 1974. Each girl anxiously awaited the announce- ment of her name to the court. Only one of the three nominees from each class was selected for the court. The dance was spon- sored by the booster club featuring the local band CIRCUS. The color scheme was red, pink, and white, typical of Valentine ' s day. Anxiously awaiting the announcement of the 1974 Sweetheart Queen and her court is senior nominee Nanci Mohr.

New Computer A new computer was obtained this past year for use in an after-school course dealing with computers, taught by Mr. Allen. Students that participated in this course were taught how the computer works and its ' various uses. Senior Prac- tical Math also worked with the computer. Mr. Laub, who has previously taught at Whiting, returned, teach- ing basic and general math. Jim O ' Drobinak, Algebra student, tried his luck at completing the theorum prepared for him by Mr. Sorota. 22 Learning Aids Classes Al Lewandowski proves to Mr. Poropat, shop math teacher, that he can figure the diameter to the length on his own.

Wilkins and D. )ones carefully examine a skull. The wonders of science were dis- covered, unfolded, and explored as interested science students took part in classroom activity and lab sessions daily. The latter interested the students most. Health classes learned of the func- tions of the different parts of the body, while psychology students studied how the mind and the body work together. Biology students involved them- selves in differentiating animals, plants, etc., in proper classes and kingdoms. Disecting and exam- ining disected insects, crawfish, and frogs was good experience for the future scientists. Mr. King ' s psychology students look on as Cary Plemons attempted to walk through a maze blindfolded. With sugar and sulfuric acid, advanced chemistry students Jean Davenport and George Mahony create a sugar monster. 24 Learning Scope on Life Testing for oxygen, under the guidance of Mrs. Cergel, are first year chemistry students Bobby O ' Donnell and Snezanna Antic.

Students Learn About With the addition of a new series of grammar, speech, and literature, books, Whiting High School stu- dents were lead through a pros- perous year. The main objectives of all English classes were to in- crease vocabulary, improve knowl- edge of grammar, and stimulate creativity in writing. To the freshman students, it was a potpourri of poets and authors. Sophomores enjoyed the new and exciting experience of speech class, and to juniors it was an intense study of American authors. Another new facet of the English department this year was the addi- tion of Letter Writing. Seniors also had the choice of Practical English, besides the usual Rhetoric and Literature. Freshman English Literature students divide into groups to prepare for a discussion on plot, set- ting, and theme. 26 Learning English Grammar students gather around a table to discuss vocabulary words to prepare for a test. Their Own Language After hours of studying, English Literature students keep themselves busy in order to complete a test of authors and titles in their Literature books. Term papers having just been returned to Mr. Ulrich ' s grammar students, Lynda Ba- logh and Elaine Oster look over their own to see all they have done wrong. Economics teacher, Mr. Laub, teaches his class how to economize their budgets. History Relived Henry Blake stuns Mrs. Lentvorsky by not being able to locate his home state. 28 Learning To break the monotony of ordinary classroom routine, junior and se- nior history classes went on guided tours of both Inland Steel and the Whiting Community Center. Films aided the teachers in better- ing the students ' understanding of government actions and world wars and affairs taking place now and in the past. Government and Civics kept up with the problems in the govern- ment while Economics classes studied the economic standing of today. Viewing Congressional Records of the 93rd Congress are S.

Learning 29 Spanish Culture Studied; To get back to their studies, ladies in Spanish III and IV attempt to awake the men from their siesta. With Mike Hrinyo and his guitar leading, second year Spanish students enjoy singing songs in Spanish every once in a while. Learning usage of verbs and vo- cabulary, and becoming familar with Spanish culture, were just a few objectives of the past years ' Spanish studies. To the first year students, it was verbs, verbs, and more verbs; so it seemed to them. But movies, dia- logues, and culture sessions added some spark to their studies. Second year students wrote and portrayed interesting monologues about themselves and friends. Short stories and novels in Spanish were enjoyed by third and fourth year students, while studnets of all classes enjoyed singing along with the guitar. First year Spanish students not only study from their books, but also from recordings in the lab sessions. 30 Learning German Accent Attained German classes enjoyed a most productive year under the guid- ance of Herr Ulrich. Students were taught the importance of a second language, in addition to the lan- guage and customs of Germany. First year students worked hard to master the German verb system and obtain the German accent. Each week, students were given the opportunity to express them- selves by producing their own topic for report. Improving grammar and vocabu- lary was a major goal of second year students. Holding the entire class ' attention, Mr. Ul- rich helps German student B. Ciers present his topic for report. Referring to her textbook for help, second year student Linda Urbanik translates a nd illustrates to the class a complex sentence in German at the board. Learning 31 As you walked through the halls of WHS, it was possible to hear the melodious voices of Mr. Kometz ' s chorus students or any one of the band ' s various tunes. The chorus and band students combined their talents and presented very entertaining Christ- mas and Spring concerts. In addi- tion to the concerts, the band per- formed at home football games under the able guidance of Mr. Gow. Chorus students entertained view- ers at hospitals, bands, and de- lighted listeners on the radio. Freshman music appreciation stu- dents learned the fundamentals of music. Ron Rogina displays his musical talent to his music appreciation class under the guiding eye of Mr. Kometz.

Art students Donna Allen and Charlene Plumley work to make their clay figurines into beautiful works of art. Added to the number of different things to do in an art class this past year was the equipment to make small, but useful, rugs, patterned by the students themselves. Stu- dents of all art classes made projects of their choice, such as clay objects, water and oil paint- ings, burlap stitching, and many more. Art students cooperated in livening up the halls with art displays for the various occasions th at came up around Whiting High School such as the open houses and the Christ- mas season. Advanced art students Sheri Weiand and Bev Wallace put the finishing touches on one rug which they have made with the new equipment in art class. Art Displays Liven WHS Gym Students Develop Under the experienced guidance of Mr. Kovachic and Mr. Zubeck, gym students developed good sports- manship as well as strength and improved muscle tone and agility. The boys partiicipated in diverse activities, each with a purpose of bringing the boys a step closer to their goal of physical fitness. Calis- thenics were a routine part of each gym class. Strenuous games of bas- ketball, football, softball, and vol- leyball sparked the boys to win good form and performance. As one way of having fun in boys gym class, freshman boys run after their teacher. Advanced gym students increase their skills in basketball by practicing. 34 Learning Good Sportsmanship Under the guidance of Miss Stephens, the girls taking part in gym class developed ability, poise, and good sportsmanship. There was a variety of activities of- fered to the gym students, ranging from archery to gynmastics. With an attitude of fair play and sports- manlike attitudes, the girls success- fully participated in such strenuous sports as soccer, volleyball, basket- ball, and track. K. Simants is given a little boost to make a basket. Girls in the freshman Gym class engage in a vollegyball game. Freshman gym students do a toe-touching exercise to help keep in shape. Learning 35 Students Attain Accuracy Preparing themselves to enter the business world with jobs in busi- ness offices was the main goal of the business courses. General business class served as a way of acquainting students with how a businesss is run. With constant stress on neatness and accuracy, shorthand and typ- ing students learned how impor- tant the finished job reflected on the company they worked for. Daily practice increased shorthand and typing skills and also accuracy. General Business students listen alternati- vely as Mr. Turner attempts to explain the process of endorsing a check. Second year shorthand student, Sally Beth Allen, carefully takes dictation from Mr. Turner, keeping in mind accuracy and speed. Concerning the trials and tribulations of typing class, Krystal Puhek loses all Patience, and in a fit of frustration pulls another piece of paper from her typewriter. 36 Learning Changes Come to Home Ec Cassie Biedron looks on as Lolly Taylor creatively sews a blouse. Others in the class choose a pattern of clothing that they would like to make. By chopping pecans for coconut kisses, Sandy Peyovich one of the many aspects of home economics class. Along with the changes that comes with women ' s lib, come a few in the line of what you might call ' men ' s lib ' . Take, for instance, fifth period cooking class. This period highlighted the day for Mrs. Wag- ner, being that the class consisted only of boys. Although it was tough the boys did learn the hints of how to cook and also learned that cleaning up follows cooking. After the course was over, they were equal cooks to the girls. By experience and understanding, sewing students realized the bene- fits of being able to sew. Students themselves chose their own sewing projects. Mark Facklam, Glenn Wright, and Doug Cornelius mix hamburger and other in- gredients to make a yummy meal in one hour. Learning 37 Aiming to get through to the end, Willy Wajvoda, using the powerful machinery found in wood shop, saws a piece of wood. Second year Print shop student, Rick Hart, patiently carves a profile in a linoleum block for future use. Adding a feminine touch, women libbers at Whiting show the guys that setting type is easy for anyone who wants to learn. Girls Admitted 38 Learning During this past year, girls were once again admitted into such shop classes as print shop and ar- chitectural drawing. Those who were enrolled in drawing class learned how to use the necessary architectural drawing instruments, while those in print shop made Christmas cards and stationery. This past year also, wood shop stu- dents helped in completing a dis- play for the school. Some individ- ual projects consisted of jewelry boxes, salt and pepper shakers, cutting boards, and bowls made on the lathe. Wood shop student Dave Borgetti works diligently to perfect his model home, while fellow student, Tom Bailey checks his plans. nr r in Shop Classes Gaining the know-how and putting it to work, T. Ryan and S. Gormley precariously rebuild an engine in Power Mechanics. First year machine students Dave Simants and Matt Stolman work on a wooden bowl of a lathe.

Long practice hours prepared the boys for each game. Although they ended the season with a record of three losses, one tie, and one win, the freshman boys gained invaluable experience that will guide them through their future years in football. In addition to gaining experience, they gained stamina and a sense of good sportsmanship. ' hWflWC ' - IUfBAU ml l 9 rfuJ i a M |v 1973 Freshman Football team: First row: G. Semancik, J.

To the Seniors of 1974: You have just emerged from four of the most wonderful, most confusing, most memorable years of your lives. You have lived through the bad times and you ' ve laughed through the good times. You ' ll long remember the friends you knew, the places you ' ve been and the things you ' ve learned, even though they will all remain behind you. Your futures hold responsibilities, indepen- dence, and dreams. You have set goals for yourselves, goals that will change your lives once more. You have each become individuals with personalities that differ from those of the people you see around you. A new, more challenging part of your lives is now ahead, a part that will bring all the things you ' ve learned into play. It is now all there for you to grasp; it is within reach of those of you who have the will and the knowledge to go forward and take it.

IN MEMORY OF WINNIE MERCER Index 155 CHANGES IV Don ' t you feel a c hange a-coming from another side of time, breaking down the walls of silenc e lifting shadows from your mind. Placing bac k the missing mirrors that before you couldn ' t find filling mysteries of emptiness that yesterday left behind. And we all know it ' s better. Yesterday has past now let ' s all start the living • for the one that ' s going to last. Yes, we all know it ' s better yesterday has past now let ' s all start the living for the one that ' s going to last. Don ' t you feel the day is coming that will stay and remain when your children see the answers that you saw the same. When the clouds have all gone there will be no more rain and the beauty of all things is uncovered again. And we all know it ' s better Yesterday has past. Now let ' s all start the living For the one that ' s going to last. Don ' t you feel the day is coming and it won ' t be too soon when the people of the world can all live in one room.
