If you missed a dance, a game, or a meeting, you can still be a part of it. Here’s your chance to view yourself and your friends through a sort of picture frame. 1984 85 is a year which has been very special and has been especially sentimental and meaningful for the seniors. This year with its ups and downs, its good times and bad, will long be remembered by all of us. Each of us has his or her own special memories. We each recall our own special events and favorable happenings throughout the year. Teepeeing your favorite football player’s house, a basketball game, a school assembly, a slow dance with that special guy or girl, a short conversation with a friend, after-school practices, meeting someone at FOCUSING IN ON YOU McDonalds, and standing uptown rain or shine. All of these happenings and activities have been captured through the yearbook. Each picture brings back a thousand memories. Reading and looking through pictures and captions give you a close up look on the school year of 1984-85. Happenings that came and went so quickly can all be relived, years which are gone forever. Each day brings so much activity and countless opportunities to get involved and be a part of the memories of each and every student. We had it all. Here’s looking at a year of endless memories. We present you with the chance to recapture all this excitement. We delve into students' reactions, feelings, and experiences. We are FOCUSING IN ON YOU. 3 FOCUSING 4 IN ON . . . STUDENTS CAPTURE SPIRIT D. Close sparks up the halls with senior homecoming decorations. The Unknown Senior walks the halls, spreading the spirit fever of the class of '85. Remember being a nerd with bell-bottom pants, taped eye-glasses, and bow ties? Suspenders, greasy hair, and a feeling to say golly jeepers was in the air on Nerd Day. Mix-n-Match Day meant clashing those striped pants with that polka dot shirt and wanting to say “shucky darn.” Various hats plus much Cub paraphernalia were displayed and Go Cubs Go” was heard on Hat and Jersey Day. Bobby-soxers and punk rockers appeared on Rock Era Day. Like fer sure it was mega wild seeing these people from the 1950’s-80 s at W.H.S. Green and white was the scene on Friday. Beat the Senators was the word to be heard as students captured the true meaning of spirit week. The spirit stick was awarded to the seniors and the juniors won for the best float, Senator Busters. Chosen as Homecoming Queen was Sherri Rokosz and Ed Hruskocy was selected as Mr. Football. Almost Paradise” was the theme of the dance which was held on Saturday night. Another normal day for D.

As well as it being the night of a rival match between Clark and Whiting, it was also the night that both Sectional Sweetheart and Mr. Basketball would be announced. Receiving the honors this year were Julie Preneta and Karl (K.G.) Kompier. Although the night was not successful for the Oilers, it was all-in-all a memorable experience, (Remember This One's for You”)? The Sectional dance was sponsored by the Booster Club, and the motto was Still Loving you. Couples enjoyed the music provided by L. and L. Sound and Light. Senior attendants are (1-r): D.

This year's prom which was held at Broadmoor Country Club on May 17, 1985, was very extravagant. A pre-prom took place for the first time and began at 5:00 in the school cafetorium. There, pictures were taken by Mr. Lovasko, and hors d oeuvres were served and catored by Condes. Later the announcement of couples was made on the nicely decorated stage of pink, purple, and grey; and there were several places to take pictures including the stage, a background screen, and a wooden setup of a prom couple to put your heads through. When everyone reached Broadmoor they enjoyed their dinner of either Chicken Kiev or Prime Rib and an evening of dancing and entertainment by the band, ''Sahara. Each couple received balloons with their names on them, and the centerpieces were given to one lucky person at each table. Another highlight during the evening was the singing debut of Peter Paul Oprisko II. He surprised everyone with his version of I Did It My Way. The theme, You're The Inspiration, was an exact description of a night which will always be remembered. u D. Kometz and M. Ramirez feel (hat nothing can ever separate them.

OUR TIME HAS FINALLY COME The graduating class of 1985. I { j t r ( t v «- A P tied iUj - P Gladly switching their tassels from the right side to the left, the seniors are now officially graduated. The day the seniors had all been waiting for had finally arrived—June 6, 1985. It was a packed house at graduation this year which was held at St. John auditorium due to the renovation of the school gymnasium. As commencement began at approximately 8:00 p.m., both the seniors and parents reflected on four special years of their lives. Each one of these 72 seniors will now meet new challenges and have many aspirations of what the future holds for them. Hopefully it will bring success and happiness for all. B. Stephens proudly receives her Presidential Academic Fitness Award from Mr. Kountoures. A NEW BEGINNING 22 As we all know, the school this year is undergoing major reconstruction. This reconstruction. costing several million dollars, has been quite an inconvenience to both students and faculty. The students have had to attend classes in the primary building. Also, there is only one lab which all the science classes must share. Both buildings will eventually be renovated and both the boys’ and girls’ gym are being worked on. This has made it very difficult to hold gym classes, sports events, and dances. Also, the swimming pool has been removed, and the auditorium is being rebuilt. All the inconvenience though, will benefit students in the future. The new school and facilities will provide a new environment for students to work both academically and athletically. 23 IN ON . . .

Both teams were not where they would like to have been at the end of the season, but their spirits were never dampened. As in the past few years, Whiting had strong runners in the top positions, but lacked the depth necessary to win close meets. 26 A BETTER RECORD Oilers B. Niklasson and P.

Whiting's tennis teams have lagged the last few years mainly, because there is no feeder system. The few players that do come out lack basic skills making it hard to build a program. The team will be hurt greatly by graduation, losing five seniors. Overall, everyone had alot of fun this year, and the returning racketeers hope to improve their record and have even more fun next year. New coach.

The 1984 Freshman-sophomore football team finished their short season with a record of 3 M. Their record was a definite improvement over the past few years. This is due mainly to the 7th 8th grade feeder program developed by varsity coach, A1 Holak. Experienced sophomores plus talented freshmen led by new coach Tim Crnkovich made up a squad that opponents would not soon forget. 1984 RESULTS WHS OPPONENT 6 E.C.

WEIGHT TRAINING PAYS DIVIDENDS Avoiding the rush, C. Klein drops back looking for an open receiver. After all the practice and learning of plays had come to an end each week, the Whiting football team went to work to try to bring a victory to the school. Despite this year's 4-5 record the Oilers went out and played hard every game. The team is starting to reap the benefits of a weight program installed by second-year coach A1 Holok. Also, the Oilers will lose lettermen from this year's squad, but there is a tough crew of experienced underclassmen to replace them. Finally, the coaches and players are looking forward to the advent of a state tournament. 1984 RESULTS WHS 6 E.C.

But the season brought about many setbacks for the Lady Oilers, and their hopes were shattered time and time again. They suffered a big loss to rival, Clark, in the opening game, but battled it out against Wheeler and Griffith and won both of them in three very close games later in the season. The Oilers defeated E.C. Roosevelt in the opening game of the Sectionals, but were then defeated by Bishop Noll the final night. This was the first time a freshman, Barbie Polak, ever played a season on the varsity team and earned a starting position. With a record of 10-15 the talent-laden Lady Oilers finished the season still searching for the winning formula. Teammates await the outcome of W.

After a somewhat shaky start the team, consisting mostly of freshmen, gained momentum and matured into a determined and talented group. After learning to work together under the guidance of Coach Laub. the team was successful with a 15 9 record.

Their determination, ability, and ambition, although not new, was definitely noticeable. Also, the addition of the two Swedish transfer students, B. Niklasson and T. Kasselrud, brightened the season. In spite of their win-loss record, Oiler enthusiasts cared enough to watch WHS play. New strategy and new faces on the starting line-up combined to make the season a successful one.

With the guidance of a new coach, Bruce Stewart, the team readily adapted and the change seemed to be profitable. The team was close to winning the conference title, but a loss to Clark at the end of the season dampened their hopes. Fortunately underclassmen saw much playing time, which should prove beneficial for next year's team. 44 OILERS TEE-OFF OPPONENTS. M. Pokrzywa shows us his expertise in driving.

Plagued by injuries, the diamondmen lost key members. Six starters lost playing time at one time or another. They were also faced with the lack of a pitching staff. Competing with their patched up squad, the Oilers compiled a 3 11 record in conference with a 5-17 record overall. In post-season play, the team was defeated by tourney host Munster. 7-2. Highlighting the season was the selection of seniors Dan Bobos and K.G.

With an overall record of 9-1-2 they attained the title of conference co-champs. It took a tough first two seasons, with records of 0-9 and 2-7, to develop the basic skills and soccer sense that it takes to get the job done. A tremendous asset was the addition of the ' Swedes ’. Their abundant soccer experience combined with improved passing by the whole team provided the scoring power that the Oilers needed. Highlights of the season were victories over Noll, 12-1. and Clark. The most memorable game was against Washington, who had beaten them a total of 45-1 in four previous contests, tying them with 4 seconds to go in the game for the conference title.

After going 10-0, the tide changed with six devastating losses in a row, aided by injuries and errors. Pulling themselves from their slump, the Oilers came away with a key victory over Clark in the sectionals but lost to Bishop Noll in the final game for the sectional championship. A bright spot for the season was the addition of Mr. Kantowski to the coaching staff. Over all this season should prove to be a learning experience for everyone. Individual honors went to Barbie Polak, Diana Miles, and Sheri Ulm for being chosen to the all-conference team. Sheri Ulm was conference MVP for the third straight year. N. Polak Fouls it off '.

They make this school run every day without a mistake. Who are these wonder” people? They are none other than the Whiting administration. Yes, behind those smiling faces are people who spend many hours making this school the best it can possibly be. Mr. Novak, the Superintendent, has taken on added responsibility due to the construction. He must supervise, making sure everything goes as planned and to see to it that all deadlines are met. • Have a question? Need some help? Mr. Kountoures always has time to lend a hand. Keeping the attendance records in top shape is Mr. Holok. He has only been here a year, but he has proven himself invaluable. But even with these people the school wouldn’t be the same without the help of the secretaries. They are always busy filing, typing, and keeping the offices organized. This is Mr. Novak's fifth year as Superintendent. The administrative secretaries are Mrs. Marie Dado, Mrs. Dorothy Shaner, and Mrs. Pat Kantowski. 54 Board of Education (1-r) Jack Jaros (member), Mildred Kubon (secretary), Michael T.

Melissa STUDENTS COUNT ON A VARIETY OF COURSES Looking intense while doing his computer work, T. Ste-fanich is really playing video games. Some students find Math easy, others find if difficult, but easy or difficult they must take at least five semesters to graduate. Students going to college take classes such as: geometry, advanced algebra, and senior math. Students planning on working, take business classes. Whatever your choice, you can't say Whiting didn’t give you the opportunity. M. Rowden's desk comes in handy for using the logarithm table. 90 Solving equations and finding intercepts are just some of the many things J. Wittman enjoys doing in advanced algebra class. TO HELP IN LATER LIFE K. Owens and T. Tinsley work on the quadratic formula at the board. G. Harding uses his knowledge of fractions in general math class. D. Miles leanrs how to use the compass in geometry class. E. Fritz plots a point on the coordinate system. 91 Expressing surprise, J. Haney has just learned the location of Whiting from Coach Nick.'

These classes help students to relive the past by reviewing great events in history, discussing economic problems, memorizing people and places, and relating our society today with the world. Students in quest learn what it's like to be a parent by taking care of an egg just as if it were a child. Most of the eggs are well taken care of, w-hereas others don’t quite make it. Writing reports, reading, talking with guest speakers, doing projects, taking notes, and discussing both yesterday's and today's events are all part of Social Studies. Always up on current events.

Postell are trying to find their unknowns. 1_____________________________________________________________________________ 94 J. Toth and M. Ewing work on an experiment in the physics lab. The science program has been hit hard this year with the schools reconstruction. Now located in the primary building, teachers have to share one lab, which can become quite hectic for everyone. There are several science classes one might choose from: life science, biology, chemistry, adv. chemistry, or physics. These courses are intended to prepare students for college or everyday life. J. Niemiec demonstrates the use of a pipette. Working on the titration of acid is M. Evanich and G. Piper. Mad scientists. D. Raycroft and F.

Finally, as seniors, college-bound students are prepared for what they will encounter in their respective Fields of study. 96 AN ESSENTIAL LANGUAGE R. Livingston points out to C. Blake the various tenses of the verbs. ]. Peterson displays interest while doing her Read magazine assignment. B. Taylor is not quite sure of the exact location of Whiting. Indiana. J. Ortiz shows the class the correct way of diagramming a sentence. 97 R. Buckmaster, S. Wright. J. Buckmaster and G. Cabrera look at a part of German culture. Studying foreign languages is exciting and interesting. Not only do you learn to read and write, but you also learn to speak and understand the language to a degree. You also learn how people of that country live their daily lives; how they think, work, study and play. Besides all the knowledge you gain, it can also be fun. S. Hill. L. Bucko find a new German friend. The secret Spaniard D. Bogs displays the Spanish attire of a sarape and sombrero. 98 FOREIGN LANDS BROUGHT CLOSER Presenting the Mexican flag are B. Villalon and R.

BUSINESS DEPARTMENT GUIDES 100 STUDENTS TO SUCCESS Comparing accounting answers are C. Klein and D. Bobos. Working on their financial budget for accounting class are A. Santay and J. Wilkening. Business classes are a must for those going into the business field right after high school. They are also a great help in taking notes and writing term papers for those going on to college. Replacing Mr. Faulkner this year is Mrs. Gail Lemon. She teaches several business courses, including the newly added accounting class. The school also plans to add a course in business law and management to its curriculum for the 85-86 school year.

Fehrman adds another stitch of yarn to her forest. 103 The team waits anxiously to bat as M. Villalon tries to make contact. HEALTH BEAT: This year s health classes have seen many different teachers. This is due to the retirement of Mr. Vincent Oliver, who had 22 yrs. service at Whiting. Although there were several different teachers the students didn't suffer in their education.

THE GYM SCENE: This year's gym classes had to be altered due to the renovation of the school. Although there is no gym floor at this time, the classes are still getting their physical fitness: they have moved into the weight room. Also during the year a physical fitness test was scheduled w'ith a recruiter from the marines. Students' overall fitness and conditioning were tested through a variety of exercises. 105 LIVING IN A MATERIAL WORLD Metals is a dazzling class for M. Rowden. Home economics and industrial arts classes are the most practical for students because they learn to use their hands to make things with various materials. In cooking, students learn to make various delectable (and, unfortunately, not so delectable) meals. In sewing students use patterns to make articles of clothing and stuffed animals. In drafting, students learn to make blueprints which they might use later in woodshop and metals to make jewelry boxes, clocks, plaques, tools, machine parts, and so on. In print shop, students become familiar with various machines which can be used to print magazines and newspapers. 106 While keeping an eye on the printer. M. Gajewski pauses for a smile. B.

Mrs. Russell. She is replacing Mr. Boyd who returned to school for his Masters Decree in music. The band is divided into four groups: marching, concert, jazz, and pep band. The marching band performs in the Fourth of July parade and the homecoming parade. Whereas, both the pep and jazz bands play at all football and basketball games: and the concert band competes in state contests and concerts. The W.H.S. band is up and practicing every morning at 7:00 a.m. which proves why they are so successful and entertaining for the fans. This year the band had several fund raisers.

This year, however, Miss Wozniak organized a dinner at Pipes and Pizza for the students who have participated in past plays directed by her. That night, awards were given out to seniors, a plaque and flowers were given to Miss Wozniak in appreciation, and a lot of pizza got eaten. Unfortunately, there will not be any more plays under the direction of Miss Wozniak, for she will be leaving at the end of this year. But she expressed her enjoyment in working with the Whiting students and encouraged them to keep participating and supporting the Performing Arts.

Our editor Sherri, along with her proud parents I would like to express my sincerest thanks to the REFLECTOR staff of 1985. We have made it through a lot of deadlines, picture taking, final layouts, and what it seemed like unsolvable problems. They have been a big help in completing this yearbook. I want to also thank Mr. Kingsley for his guidance and constant advice during some tough times. Also, Mr. Lovasko our professional photographer, who rushed to take pictures and get them back to us and enabling us to make our deadlines. Finally, I wish to especially thank Mr. Laub, our advisor. He has made REFLECTOR an enjoyable and exciting class. His advice—though most of the time we didn't listen to it—was a great help to the entire staff. Sometimes things were tense, and the deadlines seemed to roll around so quickly. But the extra time rushing around and after school work proved to be well worth it. Thank you all for a job well done.
