You have seen briefly on how it was then. To your relatives this is a memory, a memory which they enjoyed living through. To us, the students, we may find this amusing, on how everything looked then. There have been many changes since then, and now it is time to see and look on how Whiting's surroundings are now. This is the school, the students, and Whiting. You will see what changes Whiting has gone through. 17 ORGANIZATIONS Learn to act, play a flute, be an WHS student. Find a sponsor and start your own club. People are getting together for the fun of the clubs. Learning to work together and having fun at the same time is great. Time is precious, as there are many things to be done in the little time allowed for our organizations. Join clubs for fun and interest. Get involved. You only pass this way once in your life. ART CLUB Once again the Art Club members united in order to decorate our environment. A Halloween Party, which seems to be losing interest from the students, was held during the fall. However, the club succeeded in holiday projects such as making paper-mache Christmas displays, tree ornaments, and door hangings. This year's winter exhibit included the ever popular Snoopy and Woodstock. Instead of trying to organize a Christmas Party, the officers decided to donate money to the needy. Activities on the club's agenda were bake sales, field trips, and the annual luncheon. 1. OFFICERS—). O'Drobinak, Vice-President; Mrs. R. Demkovich, Sponsor; ). Stofcik, President; C.

Rebey, the Industrial Arts Club began its second year. Students enrolled in shop classes are automatically participants of this club. Hoping to awaken the citizens of Whiting, these students organized displays, projects, and sales in order to exhibit their talents. As an entry in the Homecoming Parade, Mr. Rebey was appointed as driver for the 1906 vehicle which they created.

Not being able to see the game, these students must wait until the game is over before they can determine what strategic plays were used. Along with selling hot dogs, candy, popcorn, and beverages to the fans during the games, these workers must arrive earlier to box popcorn, and arrange the concession stands. After a hard night's work, the concession workers remain and clean up their assigned working quarters. 1. Mr. E. Pawlus is the sponsor of the concession workers. 2.

Freezing and becoming hoarse has always been an experience encountered by these spirited OILERS, who are consistently boosting the team's morale. The members have also painted signs that were used to decorate the players' homes.

Selling cookies and cupcakes to the student body was a weekly routine which enabled the club to accumulate money. Faithful members volunteered their services to such activities as working on the Homecoming float, attending meetings, and helping out as hostesses at the annual Open House.

Their first achievement was to sell a certain amount of sponsorships. Under the direction of Editor Sandy Peyovich, who attended Indiana University for journalism during the summer, the staff organized their sections by the making of preliminary layouts and picture schedules. Writing copies and captions, typing, and identifying students were time consuming but the seniors managed with the assistance of the new members. Upcoming deadlines meant hours of work in order to perfect the final layouts that were used to produce the 1976 REFLECTOR. 1. Sponsor, Mr. M. Mihalo and 1976 Edilor-in-Chief, S.

Pres«nrj 27 TATTLER This year the TATTLER had a delay in publication as a result of unrepaired machinery. However, the newspaper had many new features that profiled the W.H.S. students. Staff members contributed to the TATTLER by writing articles, drawing comics, typing, and distributing questions to students. Hit parades were occasionally printed for added attraction to its readers. Designing and organizing each edition takes imagination and cooperation from the staff writers. Supplying articles to the Times is also a responsibility of these students who inform others on the everyday occurances at W.H.S. 1. Editor-in-Chief, L. Urbanik, and Sponsor, Mr. D. Boyle. 2.

These students represent their fellow classmates and ask for opinions on ideas before presenting them to the administration. Holding meetings enables the members to discuss and vote on any current situations which arise. The Student Council made all the necessary arrangements for the Homecoming parade, dance, and coronation ceremony. Sponsoring the student exchange day with a local school was also a responsibility of this council. Eight students visited Clark this year.

In the spring of 1975, ten juniors were chosen by the faculty. Possessing qualities such as leadership, scholarship, citizenship, service, and character were considered the basic requirements in regards of selection. In addition, five of these members also received the honors of working as officers. Forced to wear black gowns during a day's session was embarassing but courageous for these initiates. A formal ceremony by the presiding members was held in the evening with the initiates serving as hosts. During the winter, five additional members were chosen. 1. OFFICERS—M. Gambini, Chairman; M.

The main objective that the club advances is the sharing of every girl's friendship. Two representatives from each grade were elected to inform the others about the club's activities. A tradition which the freshmen looked forward to was the annual Big Sister—Little Sister Party that enabled the girls to confine in a friend. The Mothers' Day Tea was organized in the spring to give tribute to the girls' mothers. Sales on baked goods provided money for guest speakers and assemblies. In order to familiarize these little ladies to the everyday problems, topics such as natural beauty were discussed. 1. The beautiful centerpiece at the Mothers' Tea was created by Miss Sheldon. 2.

Competing in the Homecoming Parade, the Deutchers selected Bug 'Em as their theme. The activities included the donation of Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to benefit others, the selling of candies and cheese to benefit themselves, and the annual field trip to Chicago. Learning the German culture provided the club to a knowledge of traditions such as the one displayed in their expressively decorated Christmas tree. Under the guidance of Mr. Ulrich, the members had a successful and spirited year. 1. The club's Christmas decorations included this German-speaking Santa Claus. 2. FIRST ROW-T. Slack, N. Biljan, E.

Practicing twice a week during their lunch enables the Concert Band members to be well prepared when the X-mas and Spring Concerts arrive. The Marching Band, along with the pompom girls, enchants their audiences at halftime during the football games. Finally, the group of students performing at the pep assemblies are known to us all as Mr. Cow's Pep Band.

The librarians assisted students in locating materials while constantly putting books away and writing overdues.

OILERETTES For the first time at W.H.S., freshmen girls were allowed to try-out as Flag girls. Providing enjoyment to their audiences during the halftime of the football and basketball games, the Oilerettes and Flag girls performed their routines. Under the direction of Mrs. Miller, the Oilerettes practiced faithfully three times a week. Marching in the Fourth of July and Homecoming Parades required many hours of practice. In rain or shine, these school-spirited girls continued with the rhythm of the band. During the year, the Oilerettes sold showcase materials along with the band members and held bake sales and car washes. With the money accumulated, majorette jackets were order for each girl. 1.

Only a few senior members devoted their spare time by helping teachers. A hard day's work usually includes explaining situations, escorting classes to the gym, grading homework, and reading stories. While the cadet teachers help the students, they in turn receive experience in classroom control if they plan to pursue teaching as a lifetime career. Since Mrs. DePeugh is the sponsor for both F.E.A. and Cadet Teachers, it is obvious that her standards are set to have the members help others in every possible way. Aiding teachers is common at W.H.S. and these girls really do their part to benefit all. 47 CHORUS Being enrolled in the choral department meant having an extra talent. These male and female vocalists were categorized in voice groups during the beginning of the school year. Practicing for upcoming concerts and assemblies gave the chorus time to improve themselves while sacrificing their lunch hours. Singing for the senior citizens, the Kiwanis Club, and the Convalescent Home were the first activities scheduled for the winter agenda. The annual Christmas Concert was presented to the P.T.A., the public, and the student body in order to spread the holiday spirit. Caroling through the halls also signified part of their successful program. 1. The Chorus members relax before leaving to entertain at the Convalescent Home. 2. FIRST ROW-D. Kanitz, L. Bishop, N.

PEOPLE Take a good look around you my friends and tell me what you see. Do you see people? All different kinds of people? Some of them may be your best friends. Whether they are friends or not they are all still people ... people who work together each day to make up our school, Whiting High. For without us, the people, there would be only an empty building and no school at all. ADMINISTRATION Mr. William W. Ciesar—School Board Vice-President Mr. Thomas M. Zubeck—School Board Secretary 52 Secretary Mrs. Dorothy Shaner Mrs. Banik and Mrs. Mustafa Mr. Kountoures, the tall, dark complected man we all know and respect. He's a familiar face to everyone who attends Whiting High School. Whenever we have a problem we turn to him. Some student can always be found in his office discussing such problems as getting permission to have a dance, to have Spirit Week, allowing us to take field trips, or many other perplexing problems with which we students are faced with. He is understanding and almost always finds answers to problems which arise and concern this school, the students and their well-being. Helping him out is our new assistant principal, Mr. Daniels. He, almost as young in spirit as we are, tries desperately to keep us students happy, smiling and as a result out of trouble. We are proud and happy to have such a fine administrative staff.
