INDEX....................158 REACHING TOWARD The school year of 1983-84 will leave behind a lifetime of memories. The year was compiled of traditions marked with sentiment, friendship, qualities of leadership, and learning about ourselves and the world around us. This knowledge we acquire will be well used as time and our future fades away to become our past. Our goals can be reached only if we continue to grasp for more knowledge and 2 THE FUTURE experience both success and failure. These accomplishments will be achieved if we continue to strive for what we believe is best for us. During high school we govern ourselves and follow chosen leaders both young and old, pointing us to the future. Tomorrow, the traditions we set will remain for those who follow. Others will take up the lead as we move onward and “Reach Toward the Future.” 3 T. Boswell displays interest while doing her Read” magazine assignment for Ms. Wozniak. Expressing his point of view, P. Oprisko shows that hc s got what it takes in presenting an oral. English is no laughing matter for S. Otic. Senior J. Puente uses a Reader s Guide to help with his term paper. 6 THE LANGUAGE AND THE PEOPLE Marking the stress on some words is a puzzled C. Buranowsky. D. Miles skillfully diagrams a very difficult sentence. Speaking, listening, reading, and writing are all in a day’s work in an English class at Whiting. Without these skills one can not get very far in life. Freshman year students learn the basic principles of grammar; nouns, verbs, and adjectives from Mrs. Hanis. The following year Mrs. DePeugh develops speaking skills by way of oral presentations such as book reviews and pantomimes. Literature is most heavily emphasized junior year with Miss Wozniak. This involves reading and learning about American authors. Senior year, Mr. Ulrich helps students understand some of the many complex pieces of literature such as Shakespeare. Most of these students are required to accomplish the task of writing a term paper. Also seniors learn rhetoric punctuation and capitalization. Most importantly, students learn the language and the people. 7 G. Harding looks elsewhere for help as Miss Ba-miagis explains his assignment. LEARNING THE PAST, PRESENT, AND Did you know that this year you sat through 175 hours of Social Studies or History classes? And you’ll have to sit through over 700 hours of Social Studies classes by the time you graduate! For a freshman, this probably seems impossible. But then again, if you are a senior, you'll have already taken: Careers, Civics, World History, U.S. History, Government, Economics and maybe even Sociology. And if you stayed awake and paid attention to all the film strips, movies, and guest speakers, then at the end of the year you should be an expert on everything from Christopher Columbus to today’s economic news. Planning a map for her economics paper is E. Rodriguez. T. Butler takes a break from typing her government assignment to smile for the camera. K. Render and S. Wright listen attentively to a guest speaker in careers class. 8 FUTURE THROUGH SOCIAL STUDIES S. Jancho shows C. Anderson how to find a good book for their social studies report. Searching through a career guide and deciding their future are S. Wood and E. Perez Scanning the newspaper and looking for a minute for economics class are B. Bailey and J. Flores. ELECTRIFYING EXPERIENCES Many WHS students find the science classes enjoyable. Working in the labs gives students a break from the everyday classroom routine. Biology students concentrate on plant life and dissecting. Chemistry students are faced with analyzing and naming their unknown compounds. Physics students learn about the earth and atmosphere. Science classes provide the students with a challenge and also prepare them for their college courses. D. Raycroft tries to teach K.G. Kompicr to use a scale. With a steady hand, P. Stincic removes her crucible from the oven. Performing the last step. S. and H. Ulloa hope they have found their unknown. 10 M. Johnson squeezes some brains out of T. Gazda. As she fills the bottle, J. Hart poses for a quick picture. Fire in the chcm lab! Trying not to get sick. M. Tobias and K. Williams dissect their earthworms. J. Dobrowolski points out the parts of the tree to N. Mazur. 11 MATH CLASSES STIMULATE THE MIND Basic mathematical courses through algebra and trigonometry to drafting and computer programming are offered every year to each student at W.H.S. Everyone must choose from these courses to complete the 5 semester requirements for math. This year Mr. Camperman, a student teacher from Indiana University, is teaching in Mr. Allen’s classes. B. Taylor “instructs” J. Augustyn at the computer. M. Beno gets radical in Algebra. C. Sarvanidis uses a reference book to solve a problem in Senior Math. D. Close and M. Mazur discuss the formula of an ellipse with the class. S. Havilcy gets help from Mr. Poropat in Blue Print Reading. FOREIGN LANGUAGE This group of Spanish II students model their sombreros as they learn about Mexico. M. Opachan and K. Hansen display some posters depicting Spanish cultures. W. Fchrman and D. Raycroft wonder if this “hex sign will keep bad spirits away from Mr. Ulrich’s classroom. 14 CAN BE FUN Having finally learned how to use the lab, B. Briggs becomes familiar with the Spanish dialect. W. Simmons and G. Cabrera look at a poster that shows what local life” is like in Burganland. For some students a foreign language may appear to be a difficult goal to accomplish. The truth of the matter is that a foreign language is an enjoyable challenge. Of course, there are quite a few verbs to learn, and their forms seem almost more complicated and varied than our complex English forms. Our German and Spanish teachers, however, don’t just hand you the book and expect you to learn it yourself. No, that isn’t the case. They are always there to help you whenever you need them, and in whatever way they can. They also make the class interesting with such things as orals, filmstrips, and various games such as Spanish Password and German Scrabble ... So remember, a foreign language may seem to be a challenge too difficult to attempt, but with the help of your teachers it can become a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Although wc usually read them for amusement, S. Harbin shows that comic books can be educational. 15 STUDENTS AT WORK J Baranowski practices on the adding machine in Business Math. Business classes are a must for those students planning to work after high school and for those students who plan on going to college. I n college these skills will be useful when writing term papers or taking notes. Since our school has modernized its equipment, everyone gets a chance to try out machinery which may be used later, on the job situation. With the machinery and wide variety of courses, students will be able to achieve success in the field of business. Transcribing notes is a part of S. Simants's day in Shorthand. 16 E. Hruskocy shows us just how good he can type. B. Stephens keeps her eye on the page and not the typewriter in Typing. Using flash cards in Business Math, M. Owens and J. Frairc test their mathematical skills. 17 Explaining how a ledger is adjusted is B. Stincic. “TRADING” PLACES Home Economics and Industrial Arts are very popular courses at Whiting. In the sewing classes, the students start off with the basics such as making stuffed animals. The advanced students finish the course by making blouses, skirts, or pants. The cooking students learn measuring techniques and how to follow recipes. They make a variety of food including cakes and cookies for open house. The Industrial Arts students start with drafting and work their way to wood, metal, and print shop. Woodshop students learn to make picture frames, spice racks, and even kitchen tables. These trades help enable students to master the problems in everyday life. To insure a perfect fit, T. Shebish sands the wood. 18 As N. Henson models her new glasses, M. Adams shows her how to weld. K. Clark tries out a new egg shampoo on N. Huntley. Using the lathe in Metal Shop. A. Vasquez finishes his project. E. Rodriguez and M. Rancich try to decide if their creation is edible or not. Demonstrating how to use a grinder is C. Van-Meter. 19 P. Lund helps out by printing the Tattlers. A HEALTHY BODY: INSIDE AND OUT On her way lo the major leagues is E. Torzcwski. The Physical Ed. department of Whiting has a program for the advanced gym classes. It is the nicklaus technique and aerobics. Although these classes meet only twice a week, the students are improving their coordination and physical condition. Also included in the regular gym classes are: softball, basketball, swimming, weightlifting, running and a few other events. The boys are supervised by Mr. Zubeck and the girls by Mrs. Fritz. In Health, students learn about how their bodies function and all of the diseases that are in your body. This course is required, as is gym. If you want to learn about your body inside and out, you will find this class fascinating. E. Fritz emulates his hero Richard Simmons. 20 G. Piper and R. Valko wonder who has the guts . On his way to the Olympics is C. Pope. i This crab-soccer team includes: R. Unatc. S. Klcincdlcr and B. Villalon. Preparing for the Boston Marathon arc M. Aicher and B. Maleckar. 21 THE ART OF MUSIC Waiting for just the right moment, A. Simmons watches his notes carefully. While practicing their singing, D. Spanton accompanies L. Linko, J. Klein, M. Frairc and 1.. Vargas. D. Evanich puts on the finishing touches to her drawing. Out of all the classes in Whiting High, two of the most enjoyable are Music and Art. Also, they are both required, so everyone can experience them. In Music, students learn about various composers of different musical periods, how to read notes, and how to name the keys on the piano. Also related to the music class is a chorus class in which some students participate. During Art, students learn linecolor texture forms, which are the fundamentals of art. Also, ceramics and advanced art are offered as separate classes. Advanced art offers rug making, crafts, advanced drawing and painting, and soon they will also have stained glass making. Both art and advanced art students make paper mache, wood sculpture, string art, collage and batik. All classes also help make the decorations for the school plays, school functions, and sport banquets. 22 Working on a decoy for ihc Polaks is Dave Brown. IS FASCINATING While K. Kubaki makes a new mug, J. Copeland creates a new hair style for herself. While mastering the art of rug making, C. Jerzyk stamps her finger. Showing her expertise in ceramics, C. Bonchik creates a clown. Spinning the records for their class are T. Fritz and D. Evanich. 23 NHS HELPS COMMUNITY Initiates express their humor during the informal ceremony. Being a member of the National Honor Society is something one should be proud of. This year 12 juniors and seniors were chosen as new members. They were chosen on the basis of character, leadership, scholastic achievement, and service to the school. An informal initiation first, put them through a grueling test, and then finally the formal initiation took place and made them official” N.H.S. members.

As it has been in the past, the Spanish Club is still the largest organization at W.H.S. It's size helped quite a lot this year, the club almost disbanded while its sponsor, Mr. Taylor, was in the hospital. The large number of students involved showed enough spirit and provided enough cooperation to keep the club together. They held the annual Christmas party on Monday, December 20. Although it wasn’t the same without Mr. Taylor, they still sung carols and broke the pina-ta to keep the Christmas spirit. The members of the club this year, even with the problems, helped to make the club as exciting and popular as it has always been. 36 Spanish Club officers include (l-r): B. Stephens, Pres.; M.

Oilerettes were under the new direction of Dawn Spanton and Kathy Kienzl this year. Any dedicated Oi-lerette can tell you of the many hours of practice they put in to give the Oiler football and basketball fans nothing less than perfection for half-time entertainment. The Oilerettes performed to such popular tunes as “Oh Mickey”, the theme from “Flash-dance”, and Michael Jackson’s “P.Y.T.”. In rain or shine, these school-spirited girls continued with the rhythm of the band. Oilerettes show us their perfect timing and coordination while performing at a football game.

This year the band attended the ISSMA State Band Competition for the first time in twenty years. They did very well, outscoring such bands as Lake Central, Chesterton, and Michigan City Rogers. Whatever the music, whatever the performance, the W.H.S. Band is sure to be a hit. 43 In the new jazz band, T. Gazda plays his bass guitar. “THE WAY WE WEENDS ERA. The male chorus tells everyone to “Put On A Happy Face . The town gossips arc appalled to hear that there is a mouse in the house. Singing in the finale is the entire cast of “The Way We Were”. This year’s theatrical presentation entitled “The Way We Were” was a tribute to over 70 years of play productions at W.H.S. Due to the renovation of both the school and the auditorium, it was the last time the existing auditorium would be used. The production consisted of 6 representative cuttings from past plays. They were “Our Town”, “Bye, Bye, Birdie”, “I Was A Teenage Dracula”, “Guys and Dolls”, “Mouse Trap”, and “Annie Get Your Gun”. Also as a tribute to Ethel Merman, the entire cast sung for their finale, “There’s No Business Like Show Business”. Seven directors from past perfromances were present to make the evening complete. Five upperclassmen received honors for their participation in past plays directed by Miss Sharon Wozniak. 44 Emily (S. Rokosz) and Wally (J. Dobrowolski) arc bickering at the breakfast table.

The reading chorus composed of twelve people, helped the audience to digest the play while the narrator helped the audience understand exactly where the scenes were taking place. After the performance, the Drama class served refreshments in the study hall. This production was directed by Sharon A. Wozniak assisted by Jennifer Hart, Tim O’Keefe, Suzie Otic, Kris Saksa, and Anna Wes-terfield. Narrating the Christmas play is D. Terry. The Cratchct family feasts on Christmas Day. The three spirits and reading chorus show Scrooge where he will end up if he does not mend his cruel ways. Marley (M. Johnson) brings a ghostly message to Scrooge (R. Kienzl).

The lack of returning players resulted in a tough struggle for the young team. 51 OILERS EXPERIENCE CHARACTER- It was a rough season for the Oilers this year, due mainly to a lack of varsity experience. Of the returning players only four had been regular starters, Ed Hruskocy, Jeff Chorba, Dave Brown, and Mike Senics. The players themselves worked harder than they ever had before, but the unfortunate 0-9 record failed to show all the effort, pride, and determination displayed by the team on and off the field throughout the season. This year's season was almost entirely different from the past few years. The Oilers joined the conference for the first time in nearly a decade and also took part in the new cluster format which provided for several long bus rides. Another change was the early start of the season which caused some problems with the heat. Of course, the greatest change was that of the coaching staff. Coach Nick’s shoes were hard to fill but new head coach A1 Holok did a commendable job. 1983 Results WHS OPPONENT 0 E.C.

Individually, Steve Jancho, Bruce Bailey, and Dave Brown took first in the Sectionals. Those three, along with Jesse Flores and Chris Sar-vanidis, advanced to the Regionals. Bruce Bailey then went on to semi-state. As a team, the Oilers finished 4-7 and placed 5th in the Conference. The climax of the season was the team’s heartbreaking Sectional loss. The wrestlers took second, only one point short of first, 148 'A to 147 'A. Although the varsity will be losing eight seniors, more than half of the squad, it will be replenished with members of the Conference champion B-Squad. C. Sarvanidis painfully cradles his opponent.

Lack of varsity experience spelled defeat for the Oilers. The boys varsity basketball team finished their season with an unfortunate record of 2-19. Despite this record, the players refused to let themselves get down, always playing with intensity and giving 100%. This year’s team, containing only three seniors, gave an abundance of playing time to underclassmen. Hopefully this valuable experience will give the team what it needs to be a competitor next year.

Although their record was only 6-13, the team played well, and most of the games they lost were by close margins. Due to a couple of sophomores splitting time with the varsity and junior-varsity, the Oilers were playing without a true lineup. Center G. Danielidcs goes up strong for an easy basket. D. Raycroft finds the going tough underneath the basket. 60 FRESHMEN HOPE FUTURE WILL BRIGHTEN G. Haney applies pressure lo his opponent while B. Jennings looks to help. The boys’ freshman basketball team ended its season with a record of 1-12, realizing that there is a big adjustment from grade school to high school ball. Although their record wasn’t very impressive, the team gained experience for the future. A few players were also brought up to play junior varsity. 1983 Results WHS OPPONENT 22 Lake Station 48 26 Clark 36 29 E.C. Roosevelt 78 27 Calumet 56 36 River Forest 34 34 E.C.

After dumping the first 5 non-conference games, they went 4-1 in conference. After a few close games lost by errors, the team finished with a 7-7 conference record and a 8-12 overall record. In the sectional game, WHS lost to Clark 7-2. Due to bad field conditions, the team had no home games at Whiting. But they will be able to play there next year because a new infield is being laid.

The team consisted of five members, a senior and four juniors, just enough to make up a varsity team. The team placed 6th in Conference with a record of 2-10, and took 7th in the Sectionals. The most valuable player was Jeff Chorba. Overall the season was alot of fun for those who participated. The golfers enjoyed getting out of school for the day once in a while for meets and the four returning members are looking forward to next year’s season. 66 A SEASON OF PEAKS AND VALLEYS W.

There were many new players, but the few veterans from last year helped them through any difficulties that they may have encountered. Thinking about the season, crucial games come to mind, most importantly, the Junior Varsity Tournament. Although they didn’t get the trophy, they surely put up a fight! The season itself was successful with a record of 20-5. They had a winning streak of 10, but suffered a very disappointing loss to Morton. Spikcrs wait in anticipation for the outcome of L. Filipek’s bump to the setter. A Despite this year's conference record of 3-4, the season ended fairly successful. The varsity team finished their season with a record of 15-10. The girls started off the Sectionals with a victory against Hammond High and they returned to play Clark in the Semi-final round. This match was the “thriller” of the Sectional. The see-saw affair was definitely worth the price of admission. The Oilers won the first game 15-9. They lost the second exhausting game 19-21 and eventually fell to the Pioneers in the third. Both teams ended the night totally drained.

Becky Mateja and Sheri Ulm made the all-conference team, while Becky was also selected to the All-State Academic First team and invited to Indianapolis to try out for the Indiana-Kentucky All Star Game.

The games were held on May 15th and 16th in the boy’s gym. In the championship game the sophomores defeated Mr. Ulrich’s junior class winning it in two quick games. The next day, the sophomores challenged the teachers at the assembly, but were showed up. The teachers played as a team and defeated the sophomores taking them three close, competitive games. Working together all of the homerooms put up a good fight and had fun doing it. Winning the homeroom volleyball tournament was Mrs. DePeugh's sophomore class. D.

Who could forget the last minute band rehearsals, getting floats ready, and tepeeing the football players' houses until 4 in the morning. October 10 marked the opening of spirit week as students displayed their wildest clothes and became mixed matched, cowboys and indians, and punk rockers. Monday brought Hat and Jersey Day, Tuesday, the very popular Rock Era Day, Wednesday, Mix Match, Thursday, Cowboy and Indian Day, and Friday the traditional Green and White Day. The float was won by the Juniors with their motto “Execute the Trojans. “Blow 'Em Out” won the spirit car for the Seniors and the spirit stick was awarded to the Sophomore class for their hard work and spirit throughout the week.

Some people even slipped into the arcade for a quick game of Pac-Man! Picture taking was first on the agenda followed by dinner. Then, students danced the night away to the music of Abbey Road. The juniors provided a free coke bar for the thirsty dancers and all who wanted it. They also provided many prom favors such as: glasses, napkins, booklets, coasters, and ribbons for the couples.
