Each of us has his own com- bination to remember. Do you remember returning to school from a long week-end and completely forgetting your com? Lockers sometimes can reflect our personalities. Lockers hold books, fold- ers, coats, pencils, and pens, but also other pos- sessions such as candy from a money raiser, gym bags, phone numbers, and lunches, all of which can be seen when opening the magic door. Lockers will always be a familiar sight in the halls of WHS. Barb Kapitan and Lois Svitko try to decide what they need for their next class. Vera Otic gathers her books after a long, hard day of school. 6 Looking for homework is not an uncommon sight for Joy Bachusz. STYLISH FASHIONS Ankle braclets are one of todays accessories. J. Curosh, A. Rokosz, D. Jacobson. H. Sarvanidis. T. Slack, and T. Plemons show the diversity of today’s fashions. Curls are back and Mary Beth Buranosky has ' em. Cowls and stick pins were big this year. Joe Vajda models a pair of farmer’s overalls Boots, scarves, skirts, jeans, and rabbit coats all are a part of this year’s fashion scene. The domi- nant ef fect was “individ- uality.” Almost everyone invested in boots as this seemed to be the trend of Whiting students. Girls reverted back to skirts (everything from the drindle wrapskirts to the full pleated skirts). Also Shetland wood sweaters were favored by all. The boys, however, preferred wrap sweaters and jeans, jeans, jeans! Whatever the case, WHS is keeping up with the times when it comes to fashion! Diane Mika models the jean and T-shirt look which seems to be the most popular. WHAT GOES ON IN SPRING? Springtime in Whiting is the best season. Seniors look forward to their class trip; furthermore, graduation is just around the corner. The juniors prepare for the Prom and also the class of 1980 awaits driver’s education. Along with springtime, Art and Science have their annual fair. The PTA promotes its Ice Cream Social. Best of all summer is only weeks away. Helen Sarvanidis prepares her entry for the Art Fair. Students decorate the halls for the Art Fair before the judging begins. 8 rjj The homeroom volleyball tourney takes place in the Spring. Here students participate in the final game. Vicki Alaniz tries to bump the ball for a set. Harold Rodgers practices before the The students display their exhibits in the Art Fair, track meet. THE NIGHT OF NIGHTS DATE: May 20, 1977 TIME: 7:30 P.M. PLACE: Ramada Inn, Dolton, III. The night of nights finally arrived. The Class of 1978 presented the prom, “Nights In White Satin”. Flowers and dresses had to be bought and tuxedos had to be rented. Cars had to be washed and waxed. After days of anticipation the day was here. A satisfying meal was served and music was provided by Boss Tweed. The next day the couples jour- neyed to the dunes for a day of rest and relaxation in the sun and sand. Prom couples dance to the music of Boss Tweed. Vanessa Gigac and Mark Harangody dance the night away. Deb Jacobson and Joe Acheson show the others how to have a good time. v- 1 1 This happy couple sways and swings to the music. Eva Balogh and her date listed to the rock ' n roll music. THE SUMMER OF 1977 School is out! Drivers Educa- tion has begun. Work shops have been started. Fourth of July is here along with parades, carnivals, and fireworks, swim- ming, biking, lying on the beach, vacationing, and work- ing, all are a major part of sum- mer. Standing around street corners and meeting new people are only some of the ac- tivities. Remember the blaring sound of radio while you tried to get a tan or wash your car. Remember driving for the first time and then receiving your license. Of course, there is al- ways another summer. This is all part of the past summer. This was not an uncommon scene around the school. This was only one of the many workmen who put in the new heating system. Mr. Nick Crnkovich tries to ex- plain some of the driving con- cepts to his student Ed Wright. 12 Rosie Kasper, Mr. Gary Meyer, and Julie Stahur a prepare to wash the car which they used during Driver’s Ed. The students taking Driver ' s Ed. are required to clean and wash the cars they used during school. 13 THE LOOKS OF HOMECOMING 1977 Coach Nick Cmkovich gives a little speech at the pep session after the parade. The football team got their annual ride to the field on the fire truck for the public pep session. October 6, 1977 marked the date of the Home- coming Parade. After days of planning, flower- making parties, argu- ments, and anticipation, the final day was here. Last minute changes had to be made. The product was ready to sell to the public. The Senior Class of 1978 walked away with the Spirit Stick, winning the float and spirit car. The Homecoming activi- ties rose to its climax as Miriam Ruman was cho- sen to reign as Home- coming Queen and Mark Harangody was chosen as Mr. Football. The Oiler grid came up with a 23 to 0 victory over River For- est. To end the week of Homecoming festivities, a dance was sponsored by the student council fea- turing the David Giles Band The Junior Class spirit car was entitled Scrub thoz Ingots”. Whip thoz Ingots was the name of the Senior Class float which happened to receive first place in the float competition. 14 The Band also participated in the parade, leading off with the school The Art Club received first place for clubs spirit car. song. “Deck Em” was the name of the Junior Class float. Many long hours were spent on decorating. The Physics Club “Calc ulated a Victory for the Oilers with their spirit car. 15 Homecoming Queen, Miriam Ruman, receives her bouquet and kiss from Mr. Football, Mark Harangody. Whale on ’em , presented by the Senior class, was the winning spirit car. Donna Adams and Bob Hruskocy represented the class of 1981 as Homecoming attendants. The Sophomore class chose Karen Michel as their attendant. Eddie Obion was her escort. CORONATION OF HOMECOMING QUEEN Miriam Ruman and Mark Harangody reigned over the 1977 Home- coming festivities. Booster Club provided the float for the Homecoming Queen nomi nees during the annual parade. The happy but wet 1977 Homecoming Court pose for a quick picture. THE BEGINNING OF A SCHOOL YEAR Fall brings the begin- ning of a new school year. For many it will be their last and for others it will be only the beginning. Football and volleyball games are the sports that some participate in. New schedules and lockers are not uncommon. Flower making parties and sign painting parties are prep- aration for Homecoming. Homecoming comes and goes. Soon the snowflakes fall and winter will be upon us. Pep sessions help REFLECTOR prepare for the cover of the yearbook. Football season brought hopes for a trip down state. 18 Homecoming was a bit wet but it didn’t stop the reigning queen from smiling. Billy Mann makes a speech at the pep session during Homecoming. The Homecoming attendants are awaiting the announcement of the homecoming queen and Mr. Football. Injuries were not an uncommon sight during the fall months. Here K. Kasper and D. Slack recover from knee injuries. WINTER LOOKS Winters in Whiting are harsh and this winter was no exception. In addition to the cold weather, was our school’s heating sys- tem which had a little dif- ficulty in working prop- erly. Students came prepared with bulky warm sweaters. Winter was the time for basket- ball, the Sectional Sweet- heart Dance, Christmas parties, and Christmas programs. Winter brings the hope of Spring. This is only one of the many wintery scenes that can be found in Whiting Park. The Art Club took many hours preparing us for Christmas. Mary Beth Buranosky sets the scene for the Christmas program. 20 Mr. Anderson and the band practice many hours for their winter concert. 21 YOU’RE IN MY HEART The annual Sectional Sweetheart Dance was held on February 25, 1978 from 8:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. The theme of the dance, sponsored by the Booster Club, was “You’re In My Heart”. The music was provided by Iron Horse. Admission to the dance was $2.25 a person or $4.00 a couple. Debbie Jacobson was crowned Sectional Sweet- heart while Dan Polak was named Mr. Basket- ball. Mr. Basketball nominees: John Curosh, Jim McFadden, Joe Vajda, Dan Polak, Jim Maddox, Bob Daly, Mark Harangody.

The traditional ceremonies were held at the Whiting Memo- rial Gym in the presence of the members of the school board, administration, rela- tives, and friends. All are looking forward and back- ward realizing the dreams they shared. HEADLINERS FROM THE SUMMER OF 77 A1 Rokosz, Daria Demkovich, Patti Kozlowski, Jim McFadden, were representatives to Hoosier Boys’ and Girls ' State. While many students were out this summer sunbathing, others were going to school. The class of 1979 went to school for Driver’s Education. Illona Jambik once again at- tended Indiana High School Journalism Insti- tute in Bloomington. This prepared her for better knowledge in the newspa- per business. Two girls and two boys were chosen to represent Whiting at Indiana State University for Girls and Boys State. They spent a week learning about the government and how the system works. Last but not the least the Cheerleaders spent a week at I.U. for a cheer- leading workshop. 25 Illona Jambik spent two weeks at I.U. learning about newspaper journalism. Taith p leadership Loyal i ty Competition C 5 H m c MATURITY ° R o P I U R I L I v §: o lUisdam C E ACADEMICS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE The entire typing II class is shown here holding a race to see who is the fastest typist, but of course you know that Mr. Faulkner will win. Although it may look like Chinese, Sherri Butler is actually doing her shorthand assignment. Whatever it is Whit- ing’s Business Depart- ment has something for everyone. In the short- hand classes, you can learn to write faster than the speed of “mouth”. Of course, you could always join that world famous typewriter orchestra led by Mr. Turner and Mr. Faulkner, and type to the tune of 60 words per minute. In Bookkeeping and Business Math, you can learn to balance your checkbook correctly, and also learn how to get more from your tax re- turns. Once you’ve mas- tered all of th ese skills, it’s time for graduation, and there’s no doubt that students who major in business courses at Whit- ing High will get first- class, high-paid jobs in the business field. 28 Marina Sabol quickly, but correctly, types her assignments proving that your typewriter can be your best friend (if you know what you’re doing). Mike Adams and Scott Allen show the rest of their Business Math class the correct? solution to a problem. 29 GYM BUILDS STRONG BODIES T. Adams displays the art of bumping a volleyball. Health students examine the organs found in a body. Lisa McNinch kicks a “homerun for her team. Each boy races to beat his recorded time. Volleyball team members practice their skills. The girls begin each gym class with exercises. ' 4 With all the stress on physical fitness and health in today’s society, we are seeing a new revi- val in the P.E. courses. At Whiting High, stu- dents are required to take a year and a half of gym classes and a half year of Health. These classes are designed to make each student realize how im- portant physical fitness is in relation to our health. Exercises begin each gym class followed by games of competitive sports which include: swimming, basketball, volleyball, kickball, and various other activities. SEARCHING FOR OUR BEGINNINGS THROUGH HISTORY History is the story of man’s past. Through history we learn of the lives of our ancestors. The freshmen are required to take a half year of Civics which teaches about our gov- ernment, and Careers which guides the students to choose their careers. The Sophomore year requires a year of World History and Juniors are re- quired to take a year of U.S. History. Seniors are required to take a half year of Govern- ment and a half year of Economics. Senior students have a discussion about Government. Tim Dixon and Ray Hapak locate an European country on the map. Mark Harangody and Paul Progar discuss homework answers. Econ students discuss a current problem. John Gazda studies for a Government test. Demetria Danilides and John Buranosky help in setting up the movie projec- tor for World History. 33 1 . ' «. STIR AND STITCH Walking down the halls when the cooking class is preparing a delicacy is enough to kill you! Aaaah, the wonderful aromas that seep through the cooking class’s kitchen make your mouth water with hunger. However, as with other good things, once in awhile there comes an air of failure. The sewing class is able to conceal their failures a little easier. Only Miss Sheldon knows about the crooked hem, or the but- tons that are actually Vel- cro clasps in disguise. Who knows, the girls tak- ing Home Ec today may very well be the home- makers of tomorrow! Pat Thorn discovers that one of the most difficult parts of sewing is threading the machine. A puzzled Jackie Polak asks Miss Sheldon for “HELP! in sewing class. After the fun of making a mess, two cooking students busily clean up. HAMMER AND SAW Several mechanics try very hard to put a motor together without their teacher s help. Is it possible? Metal students watch as their teacher gives them a demonstration of what they have to do. Yet, sometimes their efforts don’t quite achieve the same results. Drafting II students work diligently and devote their time to completing their drawings. A variety of courses are offered by our Industrial Arts Department. Stu- dents taking these courses can learn the various skills necessary for future jobs. In Woodshop, the stu- dents use their talents to build lovely pieces of fur- niture . . . properly. The boys enrolled in Drafting classes learn to make careful blueprints and drawings with special in- struments. (Any student taking this course can tell you about the hard work and concentration ne eded to pass this class). Those enrolled in Metals are taught the basic skills of operating hand tools that are quite dangerous. The Printing Dept, teaches its students how to use various printing machines. This class is very useful to our school because these students print the school newspa- per, our report cards, club membership cards, and other important things. Though we have a small school, we’re proud of our shop classes be- because tnev’re well equipped with capable teachers, safe equipment, and responsible students. 35 FOREIGN FARE This colorful display is one of Ihe many that are arranged on the Spanish class hall bulletin board. Second year Spanish students hold a class discussion, speaking only in Spanish. Paula Fortner and Laura Gajewski quiz each other over the difficult concept of Various verb endings. Dave Koleszarik, a fourth year Spanish student, mixes wit with words in giving his Spanish report to make the rest of the class laugh. Mr. Ulrich, the German instructor, helps one of his students with her assignment. Have you ever won- dered why so many stu- dents subject themselves to a foreign language? All those savage sub- junctives, vicious vocabu- lary words, and tough verb tenses have to be learned again in a strange new way of commu- nicating. English gram- mar is hard enough to tackle! But maybe there is more to be gained from learning a foreign lan- guage (such as Spanish or German) than meets the eye. It does seem like a lot of fun to be eligible to at- tend Spanish Christmas parties, German trips and other exclusive activities. No doubt it’s nice to be able to show off” in front of your family and friends by being able to casually include in every- day conversation a for- eign expression or sen- tence which catches their attention. But the most re- warding part of studying a foreign language is to actually being able to ex- press yourself in a “strange code”- that can only be deciphered by i murself or your fellow anguage classmate. PRECISION, PERFECTION, AND PATIENCE Five credits in math courses must be earned during the students’ 4 years in high school at Whiting. Although math can be quite a difficult subject for some students, our Math teachers have composed a foolproof “theorem” for guaranteed good grades (or at least better ones) in mathemat- ics. The “Theorem of Suc- cess” is basically this: De- termination and keen minds combined with hours of homework (only to practice skills learned), yield the perfect matn student. This formula can be guaranteed 100% effi- cient only after allowing 2% for human error on each students’ behalf. General Math students work busily reading their manuals, thinking out problems, and writing down correct answers. Who knows how long this algebra problem will take? think two Algebra 1 stu- Susan Vavrek and Pat Thorn argue with Mr. Allen, their Algebra dents as they begin to figure out an equation. H teacher, on the correctness of a students ' solution. mrr m A Mil Don Wargo explains the essentials needed to study the angles of Geometry. Career Mathematics is the math book used by boys enrolled in the In- dustrial Arts classes. HARMONY MAKES MUSIC :mim Music Appreciation is a required course for all Freshmen coming to Whiting High. It is a se- mester course and teaches the fundamentals of mu- sic. There is also the elec- tive class of Chorus which is taken by stu- dents who are interested in a further teaching of music and have voices which are musically inclined. There is also the band class which is taken by students who are inter- ested in playing in- struments and being part of the school band. All these music classes help in the building of a great music department. Band members play at one of the pep assemblies. With Miss Jakubowicz at the piano, some chorus members rehearse for their next concert. This freshman class is busily writing the notes in for a piece of musit 40 EXPRESSING OUR FEELINGS THROUGH ART Helen Zimmerman and Angela Griede mold a lump of clay into a piece of art. Art, one of the most en- joyable classes is taught by Mrs. Demkovich. The students in this class are able to express their origi- nality through the use of crayons, chalk, glue, paints, and clay. Fresh- men are required to take Art I a half a year. Then students who are really interested in art have a choice of advanced art or ceramics classes. Dan Wajvoda and Ed Kristek display their works of art. Two Freshmen art students use natural light to help them work on their art project. ENGLISH-A REQUIRED SUBJECT Eager freshmen students try to answer difficult questions about grammar. Theresa Plemons gives her book report orally. Here a freshman student, Kelly Carroll, tries to memorize her poem for a literature test. Two juniors discuss the definitions of their vocabulary words. Roxanne Kantowski performs her mime act for speech class. English classes from freshmen to seniors all have very busy schedules trying to hand in book re- ports, compositions, term papers, and trying to fit in some grammar. Vocabu- lary is considered one of our most important sub- jects which helps us en- rich our knowledge. We have energetic teachers teaching a variety of things consisting of speech, grammar and literature. Out of the variety of things in advanced speech, here is a group taking orders like at McDonald’s. This senior class is trying to absorb some knowledge for their last year. Lori Kuenzi and Dolly Hadders find studying together an easier method of learning. 43 DISCOVERIES, DISASTERS, AND FUN Jeff Whitlock watches carefully as Chuck Grdina, the brave one, heats the strange mixture while awaiting unexpected results. Two chemistry students explain the use of the Periodic Table. Biology students working in the lab think they’ve discovered a new type of microorganism. Senior physics students have some fun before the beginning of class (and before Mr. Sorota yells). rjC; Sir ® ,3 ' tl Ur 1 ?. ft life HU Add a little more for good luck, says Daria Demkovich to Margaret Dunn as they concoct a strange solu- tion in advanced chemistry. At Whiting, the science courses are designed to let students use their minds to the fullest and to explore and understand the living world sur- rounding them. The biology room, filled with live plants, real skeletons, and many other curious things of in- terest truly creates the perfect setting in which the “study of life” takes place. In chemistry and ad- vanced chemistry, stu- dents carry on scientific experiments with all kinds of chemicals, never knowing what kind of strange reactions and con- clusions will result. The senior physics class learns about the properties and changes of energy and matter. In this class, observations and experiments are carried out to help the students prove accepted principles of matter which are un-. clear to them. A class of General Science students concentrate on learning confusing concepts and applying them to everyday situations. oom ..-a 13 1 1 ■ ' £ 1 fj r k k: •.■KvV Jiy a fjj gg faith p leadership t dories ty p a Loyal i ty Competition o MATURITY Wisdom Or qaim aliens BOOSTER CLUB The Booster Club does much more than supply paint, brushes, and paper for enthusiastic sign painters. The purpose of the Club is to promote enthu- siasm and spirit within the school. Every year the club traditionally spon- sors the homecoming queen float. This year’s queen was Miriam Ru- man. Also in February they sponsor the Sectio- nal Sweetheart dance. We are very proud to have an active Booster Club that gives recognition to its members by helping with the homecoming and sec- tional sweetheart dance. D. Stolman, Pres., J.

There are many things expected of an Oilerette and Flags. They are picked on their ability to march, their pep and enthusiasm their appearance, and their dependability. This years group of Oilerettes consist of seventeen girls and the Flags consist of fourteen girls. All of them come to school faithfully at 7:15 A.M. for practice so they can put on pleasurable shows for their audiences.

Then there were those “DEADLINES” to meet! The word deadline de- scribes the REFLECTOR in one word. Hard work, patience, headaches, and a feeling of pride stemmed from the com- pleted 1978 yearbook. Having to make layouts and write copy was the REFLECTOR staffs’ main goal, other than meeting their deadlines. Clicking away at type- writers, creating head- lines, and captions were part of the scene as a dedicated staff “got it all together”. Mr. Mihalo, advisor, Rhonda Plemons, Cissy Blastick, Mary Atherton, Theresa Plemons, Tracy Slack, Vera Otic, Gduarda Trevino, Lisa Gabrish, Lillian Novakovich Tracy Slack, 1978 Editor-in-Chief and Lisa Gabrish Co-Editor.

Headlines, news, and feature stories kept the 1977-78 TATTLER staff extremely busy this year. The TATTLER has many good features such as “Baby of the Week”. For the Valentines Day is- sue they have a “Dime a Line” article. The stu- dents do a great job at keeping the TATTLER going. This years editor is II- lona Jambik. Illona, the rest of the staff, and Mr. Boyle worked together to get TATTLER’S to the students once every two weeks. TATTLER STAFF: 1st row: M. Jambik, M. Dunn, K. Kucka, S. Vavrek, J.

Here are four of the eight seniors on the TATTLER who say good-bye to the staff. 71 ASSISTANTS This year seventeen students have given up one hour of their school day to be an aide to either the office or the library. With Miss Sheldon teach- ing Home Ec. in the after- noon, the afternoon li- brary aides have a trying time keeping up the li- brary. They run the li- brary with the help of a teacher who has a free hour also. The monitors are also an important part of Whiting High. They help in the office with the at- tendance slips, and run errands and special an- nouncements to classes.

The Mat Maids go to the wrestling meets to keep time, do books, and col- lect money. This year the Mat Maids bought green jackets with the words, “Whiting Wrestling” on the back and “Mat Maids” with their names on the front. The Stat Girls take stats for the basketball games. Some take care of time, fouls and points, offense and defense rebounds, shots and the good and bad points of each player of both teams. MAT MAIDS: 1st row: L. Gajewski, C. DeSantis, 2nd row: S.

No umpire can argue with John Curosh tagging this player out. Baseball is a tradition at Whiting High. Being one of the oldest sports of our school it is one of the more popular ones also. Seventeen loyal boys with a love to play ball made up the 1977 team and 9 out of the 17 earned letters. Ray Kantowski was voted Most Valuable Player while teammate Joe Za- horsky was the recipient of the Best Mental Attitude Award.

Beating such arch enemies as Bishop Noll and River Forest, while los- ing only 1 game, the Oilers were victorious in four games out of their five-game season. These successes were brought about by the wide experience of the- Sophomores combined with new material from the Freshmen. These young Oil- ers brought pride and con- fidence to our school. 84 A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR SOME This year, six “brave” freshmen tried out and made the B-squad wres- tling team. For all six boys, wrestling was a new and exciting sport which none of them had ever participated in before. This disadvantage didn’t hinder any of them how- ever, since each frosh wrestler brought home several wins to Whiting High throughout the wrestling season. The six 1978 Frosh grapplers are: Jim Broderick, Dave Golub, Paul Grdina, Vernon Jancho, Brian Mahony, Jerry Ulloa. Paul Grdina struggles endlessly with an opponent wrestler. A frosh matman expertly trys to pin his foe. One Whiting freshman wrestler finds it easy to pin his opponent.

This year’s Varsity Team consisted of 11 se- niors, 2 juniors, and 1 sophomore, while the Ju- nior Varsity team had 15 members. Under the coaching of Mr. Bill Rebey and Mr. Jerry Surdy, the wrestlers, de- spite many problems, had a very outstanding season. 1977-78 VARSITY WRESTLING WHS OPPONENT 51 River Forest 15 20 Bishop Noll 33 14 Hammond Gavit 38 16 Hammond High 52 25 Hammond Clark 33 54 Hanover Central 15 20 Hammond Tech 24 20 Griffith 38 36 Morton 12 30 E.C.

The 1978 Varsity team, consisting totally of seniors, was coached by Gary Meyer and Ron Vrabel. This year, the mighty Oilers won many exciting games, and lost only a few heartbreakers to In- diana’s top-ranked teams. We’re proud of our great team and their good record! Battling for a victory, varsity players anxiously await the rebound.

Roxy Kantowski, Jan Klacik, Karen Kasper, Michelle Milcarek, Re Gormley On March 29, 1977, five varsity and four B-squad cheerleaders were chosen to lead the cheers for the 1977-78 football and bas- ketball season. In May, four Freshmen cheer- leaders were added to this squad. Despite last summers’ extremely hot weather, these 13 girls practiced and perfected their cheer- leading skills at the foot- ball field. In August, four of the varsity cheer- leaders attended a camp and learned of new ways to put peppiness and spunk into the cheers. No matter what the weather is, our Whiting cheerleaders work very hard during the games constantly backing our teams and arousing the fans’ spirit. We hope these girls keep up the good work.

Nine boys made up the 1977 team and with only one senior on the squad the team con- sisted mainly of juniors, soph- omores, and even freshmen. Seven out of these nine boys earned letters which indicates the great effort and determina- tion displayed by our team. Al- though Whiting’s cross country season ended with an overall record of 2 wins and 10 losses, eight boys will be returning to the team next year with the ex- perience and confidence needed to earn many more victories. 98 A YEAR OF WHITING’S SPORTS SENIOR ATHLETES Out of a class of ninety- nine, thirty-four students found time to participate in the sports program at WHS. Ten girls have par- ticipated in volleyball, tennis, basketball and or track, while twenty-four boys had a choice of play- ing football, tennis, cross- country, wrestling, bas- ketball, golf, baseball, and track throughout the years. With much hard work, dedication, and determi- nation, these students have set an example for the entire student body to be proud of. Through the cooperation of all players and coaches alike, the class of 1978 has brought many victories to our school, and have left us with a great sense of pride, and many fond memories to look back on. 100 The 1978 Senior Athletes: Joy Bachusz Margaret Dunn Pat Henry Mary Hlavaty Deb Jacobson Kathy Kucka Miriam Ruman Helen Sarvanidis Della Stolman Mary Anne Zavesky Scott Allen Joe Acheson Leroy Borders Ed Boyle Jamie Ciers John Curosh Bob Daly Chuck Grdina Steve Grenchik Greg Grigoriadis Mark Harangody Mike Hatczel Jim Maddox Bill Mann Jim McFadden Rico Mendilut Dan Polak Paul Progar A1 Rokosz John Sopo Tim Summey Jeff Surdy Joe Vajda Joe Zahorsky 101 H-ftr z-wAiiiiaiSNOdsadi ADMINISTRATION Mr. Stephen B.
