The team, which consisted of only three seniors and eight freshmen, found themselves outmanned in almost every event. Remember how they didn't have enough participants in the running events? Coach Klosek, in his first year as coach of the track team, was also the last coach, because boys track is being replaced by soccer. At the sound of the gun. R. Kuss is off like a gazelle.

And remember being sandtrapped? Last year's golf team, consisting of only nine people, finished their season with a record of 6-10.

Only two members, Sue Pivovarnik and Jeannie Kometz, went to Sectionals. They both remember how nervous they were, but felt that the experience would help them in future meets. J.

When the season started we practiced on the basketball courts intil it warmed up enough to practice outside. When it was time, we dreaded raking the infield and trying to line up second base! Once the season began, the team waited for the Clark games. They beat Clark twice in regular season play. How about Dan Bobos getting the winning hit in the second game? And waiting for Curosh to knock one in the lake everytime he came up? Remember playing Hammond High on the day of prom? The game went into extra innings, and everyone was anxious to pick up their dates. Remember when we went to River Forest at 7:30 am for the Ingot Classic? And remember getting thrown off of people’s property by the police for playing frisbee? We finally won the Tournament, 11-1. 1982 BASEBALL RESULTS OPPONENT W.H.S.

Evanich hustles to beat out an infield hit. 9 “SPRINGING” INTO ACTION After the spring concert, the percussion section fools around. As the spring approaches, it seems to stir up anticipations of prom, banquets, graduation, and other events. What do you remember about the spring? Was it the choral-band concert, which had a theme of Rainbows”? Or was it seeing Missy McGowan pass out at the senior sponsored blood drive? And remember Moose Skowron yelling at everyone to be quiet at the sports banquet? He turned out to be a pretty funny speaker. After these events, final preparations for prom and graduation were made, and another school year came to an end. The chorus sings another number. These freshman girls are eager for the activities to begin at the sports banquet. J. Fritz assures Mr. Fehrman that he'll be alright. 10 NEW PRODUCTION AT WHS William Samuel Scrounge (B. Evanich) takes a while Mrs. Gotrocks (G. Myers) and her maid notice to heroin Miss Elsinor (M. Grenchik), (K. Shebish) look on. Last year's play production was quite different from past productions here at WHS. This was the first year a musical melodrama dinner theatre was performed. Do you remember being entertained by the twenty singing waiters and waitresses? They sang songs from the gay 90's, and then served a spaghetti dinner. Remember when Chris Pope dropped a salad plate? Or when LaRhonda Jones opened a tea bag and poured it into someone's cup? Remember seeing the play Labors of Love”? Many long hard rehearsals were spent memorizing lines, singing songs, and blocking. Remember hearing about Ms. Woz-niak's car windshield being smashed during play practice? Or when Mary Kay Hruskocy fell on stage while rehearsing her song? And remember when a replacement was needed, Karen Shebish took the part having to memorize all her lines in such short notice? Overall, the whole production was a success. And plans are being made for this year’s play—a western musical. The entire cast ot the ' Labors of Love . Pianist P. Renda and waiter N. Fehrman before they entertain the guests. Samuel Scrouge (B Evanich) and Hattie Hateful (M.K. Hurskocy) toast the death of Mrs. Gotrocks. which they have so deviously planned. 11 SHARING THE NIGHT TOGETHER ... Do you remember May 7, 1982, at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza in Chicago? Many couples remember that night. The junior class officers and their sponsor, Mr. Laub, made all the arrangements, such as selecting a place to hold the prom, choosing a band, entertainment, a theme, dinner, and prom favors. The awaited evening began with couples taking their prom pictures. The couples then sat down to an elegant dinner of Roast Tenderloin and then were served a dessert of Chocolate Mousse. After dinner, remember being entertained by George Johnstone, a comical magician? The evening was accented by the dancing to the music of Raintree. The lead singer helped couples share the night together. C. Zahorsky. M. Bachusz. D. Rogers, and M. Mr. Lovasko sets up S. Pivovarnik and D. Polak for their pictures. It is easy to see that B. Dado and P. Bachusz enjoy each other's company. 12 ______IR. SR. PROM Everyone was amused by the entertainment. 13 SUMMER DAYS The opening of the weight room during summer months had many people pumping iron. B. Mateja wins a new friend at the carnival. Hard working J. Copeland sells raffle tickets for the cheerleaders during frontier days. Keeping in shape during the summer are L. Raycroft and N. Fehrman. 14 DRIFTING AWAY Summer work pays off for J. Justak. The Whiting High School Band; that's perfection. What a summer! All of those memories. Remember hearing the band drilling every morning until the parade? The Fourth of July finally had nice weather! Do you remember going to the carnival? Where were you when all the electricity went out right before the fireworks? Do you remember standing up town, and being chased by the police? All of the great times at the beach? Working at school was fun, remember always trying to hide from the cleaning ladies? Not very long after the summer fun was in full swing, football, volleyball, and cross country members started practices. Do you remember the long, hot workouts early in the morning? Those were tiring! Fall sports signaled the start of school and the end of a great summer. During a break from practice. A. Postell and C. Raycroft share a laugh. 15 fi£ffiOriB£-RlA)G RCFWjxiiCS...

Wunder and K. Gyure use a slide rule. Remember doing word problems about Moe. Larry, and Curly in Algebra? Or always getting stuck next to someone who understood Mr. Allen when you thought he was speaking a foreign language? And always playing games on the computers like stats, pac man, and asteroids?

And do you remember hearing for the first time one of Ms. Wozniak’s sneezes? Or senior year preparing your term paper that took a month to complete.

And remember the many government students who were so good in geography they had to strain their eyes in order to find the location of the U.S.? Remember how Coach Nick imitated you behind your back and when you turned around he would pretend he hadn’t? Or the time Mr. Mihalo lectured a certain junior class about their attitudes the day before Easter vacation and one student broke the silence by wishing everyone a Happy Easter ? And if you were lucky enough to have taken careers in 1982. you were occupied with more than just writing reports. The career students were given a job interview by a McDonald's manager. These are a few of the memories that are captured during four years of social studies. H. Ulloa tries to explain to B. Williams why the south is better than the north. M, Barnes and L. Jones disagree on the location of Whiting. 22 IN HISTORY Deciding if her career choice is worth while. M Tobias uses a coin machine. Economists B. Dado and M. Klein fill out a tax form.

Remember the Christmas and Spring Concerts? They were both a success. Remember when the art classes paper mached snowmen during Christmas? Do you remember drawing funny pictures of each other? Those interested may go on to advanced art or ceramics. Music classes are conducted by Miss Benson and art by Mrs. Demko-vich. Advanced art students M. Klein and C. Vavrek work on the projects of their choice. 26 BRIGHTEN UP CHRISTMAS Working with water colors is fun for A. John- For a music assignment. R. Rooke and B. Stincic play a piece of modern music, son.

Kometz takes his finished ceramic bell out of the kiln. “LET’S GET PHYSICAL’’ Remember getting up for school and going right to the gym half asleep and trying to either weight-lift, play volleyball, swim, or run? or after lunch, on a full stomach, try to exercise? The only exercise everybody wanted to do was sleep! Remember trying to comb your hair with fifteen others trying also? The physical education program at Whiting is designed to help students get acquainted with different sports. Remember having a test almost every other day? How about memorizing all of the bones and muscles in your body? Do you know what the trapezious muscle is? How about a sphyg-monanometer? Well if you don't know, you can find out these answers and many others in health class. S. Harbin shows that he is ready for Stanley Cup Finals J. Dobrowolski trains for Mr. Universe. 28 29 HABLAS LA DEUTCH? Remember your freshman year when you entered Spanish or German class? You were probably so scared and wondered if you would ever be able to learn about language, especially when you had enough problems just trying to learn English. Can you remember trying to memorize new verb forms and answer grammar questions when you weren't sure what was being asked? Remember doing your first dia- logues on camera, in front of the class, and realizing after you had finished that maybe it wasn't as hard as you thought? Remember taking the second year course thinking you knew much of the language only to find that you knew very little compared to the third year students? But remember even though a foreign language is difficult it can always be helpful in the future. D. Raycroft plots his move against W. Fehrman in a game of German Scrabble. J. Macak plans her grocery list. Playing Spanish password, these students 30 Do you think N. Polak knows what these words mean? Don't let her fool you. Sharing his knowledge of lab procedure is M.

Brown. 34 THE WAY THEY’RE PLANNED Think back to the times when you were walking down the halls smelling the cookies and wishing that you were in cooking class. Remember when the inexperienced students were always dropping platters of food and breaking dishes? Remember how in sewing class you tried to follow a pattern and learn to use a sewing machine, constantly sewing uneven seams and pinning up crooked hems? Remember coming out of wood-shop covered with sawdust or leaving printshop with face and hands smudged with ink? Can you remember making projects that never stood straight and never turned out quite the way you wanted? You took your project home and hoped your parents wouldn't notice the uneven legs or cabinets that wouldn't open and close smoothly. J. Filipek takes a quick look in the oven hoping her meal will be a success. 35 U)HS e RMD MRS BAKS.SALC R£fWB£ft ( ) OUR ORGfldllZAT o US... FC K ft SCHOOL AS SrRRLLftS U um A) 6,00£.

Remember when the Reflector and Tattler staffs went on a field trip to NBC in Chicago and saw such famous news commentators as Carol Marine and Warren Saunders? Also remember when the tour guide at the SUN TIMES warned his group of the danger involved in turning around on an escalator? Additionally, the two staffs visited the Museum of Science and Industry. Remember how Mr. Vrabel and Bump made their daily visits to the Reflector room for coffee? Do you recall the day Bob Pustek's five o'clock shadow showed very distinctly? Remember how the yearbook of 1982-1983 was a summer yearbook instead of the traditional spring yearbook? Staff members (sitting I to r): L. Gacsko, B. Mateja. P. Wajvoda, K. Shebish, D.

There are many interesting articles such as sports, interviews, features, and news on clubs, classes, faculty, etc. This year the Tattler staff has taken many surveys. The newspaper also has a poem writing contest. The Tattler class went on a fieldtrip to the Sun Times Building in Chicago where they learned how a fast pace—everyday newspaper is prepared. The Tattler is distributed Bi-weekly. 41 SPANISH CLUB ES MUY GRANDE Spanish club officers include (l-r): M. Rowden. Sec.-Treas.; S. Rokosz. Vice-Pres.; B. Mateja. Pres.; Mr. Taylor, Sponsor.

Remember trying to earn that letter? Remember the first day of practice when you practiced so hard for a starting position? Then when you reached the starting position, you hoped to earri that “W”. Or even if you didn’t start, you hoped that you would play enough to earn a “W”. Then when you received it. you just couldn’t wait to tell everyone then join the “W” Club. Well, that’s what the “W” Club is all about, you have to work hard to earn your letter. Working hard to earn her letter is J.

For the Booster Club, probably the most important task is getting through the Homecoming Parade. Remember rushing to fix the Queen's float after the wind practically blew it away? Or how about when a football player had to pick the Homecoming Queen nominees up to get on their float? Then after the parade. there was the bon-fire where the fire almost got out of control! But. besides organizing the Homecoming Parade, the Club organized the Sectional Dance. Remember getting up early Saturday morning to decorate, then dancing that night to the music of NEXT?

This year the cheerleaders raised money to buy new uniforms by having a raffle on Frontiers Day. Remember waking up each morning in the summer at 8:30 for practice to get ready for the 4th of July parade? Remember rushing to finish the float once the 4th came? We also can't forget being called upon to talk at the bonfire, and the failing attempt to have male cheerleaders! Remember practicing pyramids when Deanne Fitzpatrick and LaRhonda Jones bumped heads and ended up getting stitches? The cheerleaders were also required to make a hoop for each home game. Do you remember Tommy Haluska breaking through every one of them ? And then there is Becky Mate-ja's embarrassing moment—she did an acrobat for the other team during the starting line-ups! These are some of the moments we will remember long after the season is over. Junior varsity cheerleaders (top to bottom): L. Jones. D. Fitzpatrick, and S. Rokosz. Varsity Cheerleader.

Remember having to be at school at seven in the morning to practice while everyone else was at home sleeping? Getting up and trying to march, playing your instrument, and staying awake at the same time was sometimes a difficult task. These things are events that the band partakes in.

And remember when the faculty and police used to organize their annual basketball game and use the proceeds for the athletic department? Well, this year, with the help of the Student Council and three Chicago Bears, all the proceeds went to Marty Ewing. Also, remember the Blood Drive? With the help of the Student Council and other students, the school reached its goal in receiving eighty-three blood donors, hopefully enough to win the traveling trophy for the second year in a row. And last but not least, remember seeing those plain brown bulletin boards in the halls? Well, this year the Student Council officers decorated them with pictures of students and faculty members.

Remember when the new junior and senior members were announced? Then shortly after, they were formally initiated at a ceremony with their parents present. The new members didn’t have to endure an informal initiation this year. A few of the productive activities the NHS did were: roller-skating marathon for the Big Brothers and Sisters, a food drive for the needy, and a few donations to the Marty Ewing fund. M.

Or better yet, when we won 14-11 and Coach Nick was so happy, that he kissed the crowd. This was the first time Whiting had beaten Clark in SIX years! Then came the wet Calumet game. But despite the rain, the underdog Oilers managed to pull through with a 14-7 unexpected win. Even a loss to the highly respected Laporte LaLumiere team was something to remember. The Oilers were the first team to score against them in two years. And who could forget the Homecoming game—beating North Newton and increasing the Oilers hope for a playoff berth. But remember the last two games? Most Oiler fans would like to forget traveling to Lake Station, then traveling 2 V2 hours to Jimtown. Well, the Oilers lost these last two games, which dampened their playoff hopes. Despite being eliminated from the playoffs, the Oilers still had a respected 6-4 record, which will always be remembered. 1982 RESULTS WHITING OPPONENT 18 E.C.W. 15 6 Lowell 21 14 Clark 11 14 Calumet 7 6 Laporte LaLumiere 40 22 South Central 0 32 River Forest 19 36 North Newton 22 0 Lake Station 31 14 Jimtown 42 1982 team includes (l-r, b-t): 0.

Coach Crnkovich. better known as Coach Nick, retired this year as head football coach after ten years. Before coming to Whiting. Coach Nick was the head football coach at Andrean High School in Gary. There, he compiled a record of 35 wins and 11 losses. He also had a 22 game winning streak and two consecutive undefeated seasons (1968-69). Four of his teams were ranked in the top ten in the state and he was named Hammond Times Coach of the Year in 1968 and 1969. In 1972, Coach Nick came to Whiting. His record over ten years was 57 wins and 40 losses. In 1974, his team was state semifinalists and eight out of his ten years at Whiting, his teams were playoff contenders, most of his eliminations being in the last few regular season games. In his last season at Whiting his record was 6-4. Coach Nick will always be remembered as one of the funniest men around. His actions and words are always good for a laugh.

Although most people will say that the 1982-83 basketball season was just another season, there are quite a few memories that will linger in most of our minds. Who could forget the first game of the season—traveling three hours to Logansport, Indiana? Remember the size of their band? It was bigger than our whole school! Or winning the game at the last second with a 30-foot jumper. Then came three consecutive losses, the Oilers showed they weren't a team to be taken lightly—losing to Gary Wirt 46-41 and Gary West Side 73-67. Next was the exciting Clark game—another one we won at the last second with a 30-foot jumper! And who could forget the Noll and Hammond High games? Although they were exciting, the Oilers failed to win. Then came another Clark game, unfortunately Clark on in overtime 69-59—exciting but heart- 1982-83 RESULTS WHS OPPONENT 65 Logansport 64 41 Gary Wirt 46 50 Hobart 55 67 West Side 73 66 Culver Military 53 64 Calumet 48 88 Hanover Central 67 74 E.C.W. 70 74 Clark 72 65 Morton 62 62 Griffith 55 58 Bishop Noll 73 53 Hammond High 60 59 Clark 69 82 LaPorte LaLumiere 58 57 Gavit 43 64 Lake Station 54 63 River Forest 60 63 E.C.R. 64 74 Lowell Sectionals 56 53 Bishop Noll 65 breaking.

He managed to score 43 points to break two school records for most points in a single game and a season. So this just wasn’t another season, but one where the Oilers managed to have a respectable 13-8 season record and a 3-4 conference record. After all, some said we weren't supposed to win five games all season. P Bachusz assumes a good defensive position. Scoring an easy two is D.

The girls remember, even before the season started, when they were at the gym working out strenuously for the up-coming season. When the season finally started the girls were fitted with new shoes, and raring to go. Season highlights include two victories over cross town rival Clark, and a whomping victory over Bishop Noll, setting a new school record of 77 points in one game. Do you remember all of the injuries? There was one injury a game for the first three games. Then there are always the memories of getting ready in the locker room.

Remember that first day of practice? It was enough to make you quit then, but determination pulled us through. How about those challenge matches for positions? Those were pretty exciting. Think about the day of the first meet. We had to travel out to Lowell. That long bus ride with no food and all of us were starving. Of course who could forget our victory over Clark? It was close all the way through, but we pulled it out by 3. That was probably our biggest highlight. Although our team was young and inexperienced, we proved ourselves worthy of our opponents. S.

After all, who could forget how they struggled past such teams as Hobart, Clark, and Laporte LaLumiere for wins? Or how hard they tried, in losing causes, against E.C.W., whom they played twice in a week, or West Side and E.C.R., losing to them in overtime, or Morton and Noll losing to them with no time on the clock? Then there were always the unforgettable injuries. Mike Po-lak started to play in the middle season due to the football injury, Chris Klein and Ed Hruskocy were out with knee injuries, and Danny Bobos sat out a few games with a sore thumb and a black eye. But despite the non-recognition and injuries, the J.V. Oilers managed to end their season with an 8-11 record overall and a 1-6 conference. Look! It's a bird, a plane—no it's just E. Hruskocy and C. Klein getting ready for a rebound.

Then things came together and the freshmen basketball team of 1983 finished with a record of 7-7 for the season and 3-4 in the conference. 77 JV INHERITS NEW COACH The junior varsity girls' basketball team had a very succesful season, finishing with a 15-3 overall record. Remember that nine game winning streak? That really started the season with a bang. First year coach, Debbie Jacobson, introduced her great home made” drills. The girls remember those grueling Saturday morning practices, but they paid off. How about those fun bus rides? They were an experience in themselves. Remember those last four games? They ended their season with four big victories. Now that's the way to do it! B. Ciers knows how to move the ball down court. 1982-83 RESULTS W.H.S.

Without them the coaches would be hassled with scores, averages, numbers, names, and the same for their opponents. Remember traveling with a team to an away game and afterwards hearing the coaches yell at the team for their mistakes? And when operating the clock you accidently added the points to the wrong team or you let the time run for a few seconds? Remember the crowd's reaction? These girls are very dedicated and hard working. They should be recognized more for all they do. Mat maids include (1st Row, l-r): E. Rodriguez, backi, J. Kometz. M.J. Grdina, B. Carter, P. K.

Hall monitors also run errands for teachers and collect absentee slips daily. Do you remember stamping dates on library cards and the backs of books? What about writing out library notices for books that are overdue. Library aids help the librarian with chores around the library and running errands for her. Library aides (l-r): R. Mindas. K.

All you could do was run inside. Then when it became nice out you could really show what you were able to do. This year's girls' track team has shown that they could do alot.

Or when the big tournaments came around and you got out of school the whole day? Even though the golfers got out of school, they had to suffer through cold weather, while all the other students stayed in a nice warm school. But being out in that cold weather paid off. The swinging Oilers managed to place third in the conference, with the help of big wins over Morton, Noll, and Clark. They also had one of their best seasons with a final record of 11-5. 1983 RESULTS OPPONENT WHS Boone Groove Tour. 5th E.C.R. 208 211 189 182 Gavit 169 169 216 189 Hanover Central 189 190 Noll 173 182 205 181 Morton 196 189 191 184 E.C.W. 213 238 189 182 River Forest 174 177 Clark 203 195 181 184 Lake Station 218 186 Calumet 187 182 This golfer Wunders if he can hit the ball without looking at it.

What about when you waited till 4:30 just to get into the batting cage? Baseball is one of the most popular spring sports at Whiting. There is not a lot of glory playing high school ball, but there is satisfaction being out on the field for two hours and coming out on top. A highlight of the season came during a game at Clark. A line drive hit at Chris Klein ended up in a triple play when he stepped on third for a force out and threw to Norby Fehrman at first for the third out. It is plays like this that make the baseball season memorable. Team members include (1st row. l-r): K.G. Kompier. D. Bobos. C. Klein. E. Fritz. (2nd row): J. Semanchik. M. Stapleton. G. Danieli-dis.

Wajvoda carefully checks out the guys in the stands The girls' softball team, the first in Whiting High School's history, swung into a successful season. Remember hearing that a softball team was going to be added? And then you began all of those strenuous practices. Well those practices paid off because they led the Lady Oilers to a 10-2 record, which gave them their co-champ title. Do you remember the Hammond High game? Who would ever think that loss would almost throw us out of the battle for first place? Remember losing to Morton when we needed to win? We were so nervous playing them—they shut us out 10-0. The only chance we had was for Clark to beat Morton which they did, 5-4. Well now we had to beat Clark to become co-champs with Morton. And we did it! We won 9-0!! 124 FIRST PLACE CO-CHAMPS With no trouble. D. Kovacek scoops one up for the Oilers.

The team was young, due to the fact that this was their first year playing. Although the soccer team’s record was 0-8, this year proved to be a great challenge for both players and head coach, Mike Jancosek. Remember the coach yelling instructions from the sidelines that you couldn't hear? And remember all the running we had to do before the season started? And do you remember the game that we almost won against Gavit—but ended up losing in the last few minutes? 1983 RESULTS OPPONENT WHS Clark 9 0 ECW 10 0 Hammond High 6 3 Morton 10 0 Noll 8 2 Gavit 2 1 ECR 6 1 ILSC TOURNEY ECW 17 0 Team captain, S.

And remember the new system of report cards? Everything computerized!! Can you recall all of the styles that were worn this year? Izods, boat shoes, knickers, girls wearing ties, high-tops, and people wearing about ten shirts at once. Another change around school was the addition of two new sports— soccer and softball. Things that happened around town were Walgreen's opening, elections, and Town House bowling alley burning down. 128 The shoes stand alone—shown are some of 1983's shoe fashions.

Remember that becoming an All Conference Player was something you wanted badly? You knew that you finally had your chance to prove to yourself and everyone else that you could earn it? Remember that dedicated coaches, athletes, and fans all getting involved and working together is what continues to enable us to bring out the best in our athletes.

The 1983 play production, HOE-DOWN HEAVEN, was another enjoyable success. The entire atmosphere was based on the old west. Remember hauling the bales of hay to spread on the floor? And remember the live chickens on stage. And when the chickens accidentally got out of their cage and were running loose in Nathan Hale? Once again the windows were painted and built out to look like a western town. The dinner was again served by twenty singing waiters and waitresses. The menu was of western cookery. And oil lamps provided lighting on the tables. After dinner, everyone sat back and watched the play. The setting was a small town named Oleana and took place in a small cafe owned by Pearlie Mae Watts. The theme was centered around the nights hoe-down. Remember when Rooster kicked over a plant on stage during a performance? Or when Pearlie Mae missed a line and the whole cast skipped two pages? The evening was accented by the cast, waiters, and waitresses square dancing from a professional caller. HOEDOWN COMES Cast of HOEDOWN HEAVEN D Banaszak. T. O'Keefe. D. Terry. M. Hruskocy. S. Otic.

We thought it would take forever to come—but it got here so quickly. During the year we were measured for caps and gowns and ordered our announcements. Do you remember our graduation practices? We tried to line up correctly, learn how the ceremony went, and take our last picture as a group. And then the long awaited day arrived. There were some tears of joy and a few of sorrow on leaving high school. But every graduating senior will take with them many memories and experience for the future.

One will find all of the classes, sports, and clubs that they were in shown in the yearbook. This year’s REFLECTOR was different in its being the first summer yearbook. Now all of the spring activities will be included in the book. Our REFLECTOR staff this year was an especially close one. Everyone worked hard together and helped each other to make the yearbook special. We'd like to thank Mr. Lovasko, our professional photographer, for rushing to give us pictures when deadlines were coming up. Another thanks goes to Mr. Kingsley, our Herff Jones Representative, for answering our cries of “Help!” when we needed him. He was always there to advise us on any layouts or bring us supplies that we often ran out of. We would also like to thank our advisor, Mr. Paul Laub. Besides his many other activities around school, he always found time to double check layouts and take many pictures that no one else did. A final thanks goes to the West Lafayette yearbook, THE TRIDENT, which was a “guiding force throughout the year!! (The staff will understand!) The end of another year brings the end of another yearbook, and the departure of many staff members. We’d like to say thank you and goodbye to all of them, and too all who were a part of this yearbook.
