Each one of these seasons contained many exciting events. During the fall, new students got acquainted with Whiting High and made new frieds, while returning students realized just how much they missed the halls, their friends, and yes, even their teachers during the summer vacation. When not at various sporting events, students could be found getting their class entries ready for Homecoming Week, the main event of the fall. 2 YEAR AT W.H.S. By the time winter came around, everyone was back in the swing of school. The freshmen stopped getting lost, and the seniors realized they were now the leaders of the school. Much of the students' time was spent traveling from basketball games to wrestling matches to school dances. Spring held just as much excitement as fall and winter. Baseball, golf, soccer, and the school play kept everyone busy. All these events and more made this AN UNFORGETTABLE YEAR AT W.H.S.! 3 WHITING RULES 119th Brian Jennings gets to meet Clark's quarterback. The Oilers, under first year coach, Randy Johnson, finished 2-6. A forfeit provided one of the wins, while the other win was one of the sweetest Whiting could hope for. Against our biggest rival, Clark, the Oilers pulled off a one-point overtime victory which made the otherwise disappointing season all worth while. There is much hope for next year with a good nucleus of returning lettermen and a year of experience under Coach Johnson's belt. Football is a game of expression for D. Sandrick. A triumphant moment in the Clark-Whiting game. 1986 RESULTS WHS Opponent 0 River Forest 28 0 South Central 27 0 Lake Station 34 2 Chicago Austin 0 13 West Central 27 6 Gavit 36 19 Clark 18 0 Bremen Overall 2-6 34 6 Top (It): L.

This year the Lady Oilers had a season filled with accomplishments. Even though they finished only .500, they achieved many of their goals. The biggest thrill for the volleyball team was beating Gavit and Morton for the first time in 12 years. The Oilers played hard the entire season. They were the underdogs in most of the games but surprised many teams by giving them enough of a battle to keep them on their toes. In Sectionals, the Oilers defeated Hammond High in the first match, but lost to Bishop Noll after 3 grueling games. All-Conference Honors went to Den-nane Rowden, and Barbie Polak received Honorable Mention. Mrs. Fritz was Coach of the year. 8 Getting down, D.

If you haven't figured it out yet, I’m talking about none other than . . . Homecoming. The preparation that goes into Homecoming helps build memories. Those memories will stay with us for a long time. At the time, the rushing, arguing and gathering of ideas and materials are a hassle. But, when it's over, we all know the feeling of accomplishment and pride, (and sometimes relief') The seniors' car Go Oilers, Stop Glad- iators! and their float Follow the Yellow Brick Road to an Oiler Victory were the winners of the best float and car.

Rain or shine this group of outgoing students attempted to inspire the teams toward winning seasons. At a pep assembly L. Linko boosts the student spirit. 18 WHS cheerleaders all pose for a group shot. Trying to build up spirit was a main goal for the football season. Showing her mobility, S. Gravely rocks at half-time.

After many seasons of relying on their guards, the Oilers finally had a team that could supply pressure under the boards. Surprisingly, this year's team members were able to match other squads in the frontcourt. With only 4 people with any varsity quarters returning, the Oilers were put at a disadvantage when it came down to experience. In some losses, inexperience was a main factor. Throughout the season, the Oilers proceeded to dominate the rebounding columns, and fast breaks became key points. 1986-87 RESULTS WHS OPPONENTS 39 Gary Wirt 72 50 Wheeler 55 41 Clark 60 48 Culver Military 65 66 Hanover Central 71 66 Clark 63 46 Gavit 66 55 Morton 52 77 Griffith 66 49 Calumet 93 35 Bishop Noll 63 43 Hammond High 67 55 Clark 75 50 Lake Station 78 77 Westville 83 54 Gavit 69 59 River Forest 57 66 Munster 83 54 E.C.

Facing the Pioneers for the fourth time on their schedule, the Oilers tried to balance the ledger by defeating Clark, but were unable to do so. Even though the Oilers were only 4-16 they played together as a team. With only 3 seniors leaving, the underclassmen are looking ahead to next season. All-Conference Honorable Mention went to Mike Keeler, Alan Progar, Brian Jennings, and Bob Jaroszewicz. Bob also received Mr. Basketball honors. 31 HOOSIER HERSTERIA This year the Lady Oilers went through 3 and a half months of smiles and tears. The beginning of the season was disappointing for the team. With only 3 varsity players returning, the first half of the season was a time for gaining experience. The girls were determined to better their record in the second part of the season. They pulled their act together and played well. For the seniors, it was an attempt to make their last season memorable. For the juniors, it was the time to show just what they could do. Playing some teams for the first time, the Oilers left impressions of a hard working group of girls who never gave up. Showing that her skills are not limited to underneath, J.R. handles the ball. All-Conference honors went to Barbie Polak and honorable mention to Bridget Raycroft and Debbie Stewart. 32 Junior S. Stincic pulls up short. 1966-87 team members: (1-r) Coach Laub. B. Polak, C.

Besides having to go through rugged practices, many of the wrestlers have to struggle with keep- ing their weight down. After overcoming all of these obstacles comes the ultimate achievement of making it beyond the sectionals. Accomplishing this were: A. Delmuro, D. Renda, Rick Rodriguez, E. Perez, S. Aicher; and J.

It was a high school production but quite a few younger kids participated due to the need of munchkins. The students really made a great effort to make this enjoyable for all ages. It was not an easy play to put on, but it proved to be a success in the end. Glenda'' T.Edwards tells the munchkins to Come out! Come out! Wondering if he's too big for munchkinland, S.Jus-tak places the flowers. The Scarecrow B.Leyba can't seem to decide which way he likes better. Maybe C.Buranosky should make like a tree and leave.

This year Graduation took place on June 4, 1987 at 8:00 p.m. in the gymnasium. Many tears were shed as the members of the Graduating Class of 1987 said goodbye to a part of their lives that will now only be a memory.

To prepare them for college, they can take algebra as freshmen. Geometry is the next step up for the sophomores when they learn about proofs, theorems, and congruent triangles. In the following years, students tackle more advanced courses such as Algebra II and advanced math. Also included in the mathematics department are basic, general, and business math. Dealing with these maths, you learn more about the business world. One can also take computers. Computers is a highly chosen class, where one learns how to solve lab problems. We would like to thank Mr. Allen for his 38 years of teaching at Whiting, and wish him a happy retirement. Geometry might be hard, but not for D.Bonchik and S.Justak.

Again this year, students expand their horizon through foreign language. At Whiting they may study either Spanish or German. In their first year of a foreign language, they experience mainly the culture of the language, and in their second year they concentrate on reading and writing. If the students wish to excell in their studies, they can take a third year. In their third year, they read stories and try to develop a skill for speaking the language, naturally. The students at Whiting don't learn all their studies from books but from orals, filmstrips, and various games, such as Spanish Password and Spanish Bingo which is provided by two hard working teachers. This year the foreign language department will be losing two good teachers, Spanish teacher, Mr. Taylor, who has been teaching for 40 years and German teacher, Mr. Ulrich who has been teaching for 32 years. S.Rcyna and E.Montcro show everyone in the class how the lab is used.

It is a place for developing talent or even discovering you have some talent. In Art and Music, the students have fun while learning about composers and scales or textures and collages. Included in the Music department is choir, music appreciation and band. Art concentrates on all areas including beginning art, ceramics, painting, and Advanced Art. M. Costica and M.

As many students go directly from high school into the business world, there are many classes offered in this area. Students may elect to take typing, accounting, shorthand, and many more electives to help further their learning abilities. These courses will help them in the future job market. CRAFTY IDEAS Whether it's sewing on a button, fixing a broken chair, or even making a bowl of soup, they are all an important part of today's society.

As students go from freshmen to senior year, they take all the following classes needed to graduate. As freshmen, students take civics to learn about our government. World history traces history from the ancient Egyptians to modern times. U.S. History, however, deals with various incidents such as The Great Depression, colonization of America, and the World Wars. Economics and government are usually the last social studies taken. It helps the seniors realize how to live their own lives and deal with everyday problems. Definitions in sociology arc no match for R.Oliver and B.Villalon. Taking a minute away from Econ. is D.Evanich. 94 V NOW AND THEN Psychology class goes on a morbid trip.

Finding time out to babysit in Quest class are C.Slivka and R.Almanza. 95 P.E. AND HEALTH .' Waiting anxiously, M. Rcnda looks for a good pitch. Part of a well-balanced education should involve, not only book learned material, but also the physical education classes as well. The Phys. Ed. classes participate in a variety of activities which include volleyball, basketball, aerobics, softball, and soccer when the weather permits. In keeping with physical conditioning the school requires that each student completes a course in Health to learn the value of taking care of your body. With a goalie like D. Philips, who would dare to oppose him. With that look of concentration. K. Kubeck prepares to hit the ball. Boning up on a few dance steps are M. Rodriguez and his prom date.

I The Administration and their staff play a very important role in the school. Mr. Novak is the superintendent of our school. He makes sure that not only in the present, but also in the future, education will constantly improve for students attending Whiting. The administrative secretaries are very important to the school. They are kept busy continuously. They are Mrs. Shaner, Mrs. Dado and Mrs. Kantowski. The principal, Mr. Kountoures is more than willing to help the students with any problem. This is Mr. Blake's 2nd year as assistant principal and along with that he’s the attendance officer. Mrs. Mustafa and Mrs. Carroll don't have time for a COFFEE BREAK. Without them nothing would be filed, typed or organized. This is Mrs. Johnson's first year at Whiting as the attendance secretary. Keeping attendance and records straight, she still has time to be a cheerleading sponsor. The school board makes policies for students and school personel to follow. So who said being a leader was easy. Giving advice to students, Mr. Kountoures's door always open. 126 School Board members are: (sitting) (V Pres.) Mildred Kubon; (Pres.)

For the underclassmen, it means saying good-bye to W.H.S. for three summer months, but for the seniors it means saying good-bye forever. Regardless of whether you are an upperclassman or an underclassman, you Find yourself counting down the final school days. When the last day of the school year does come, you have a whole year of exciting good times to remember, and just as many to look forward to! 156 Mr. Jesse Allen, Mr. Von Stoffer, Mr. James Ulrich, Mr. Norman Hall, and Mr. Jack Taylor. When the 1986-1987 school year ended, we not only said good-bye to the Senior Class, we also said good-bye to five teachers who are respected and admired very much. Between the five of them, they had taught a total of 182 years. Mr. Jack Taylor, Spanish teacher and Spanish Club sponsor, began his career at Whiting High in 1947, which classifies him as the retiree with the most years. Mr. Jesse Allen started his teaching career at the school in 1949- He is a past department head and math teacher. Mr. Norman Hall retires after teaching in the industrial arts department for 38 years. Biology teacher, Mr. Von Stoffer will be retiring after 34 years of teaching. Also missed will be English and German teacher Mr. James Ulrich, who joined the faculty in 1955. Although their teaching positions will be taken in the fall, no one will ever take their places. 157 INDEX A’s Adams, Buffy 10, 11, 34, 48, 51, 58, 59. 92, 102, 125 Adams, Mark 15, 22, 25, 64, 68, 75. 77, 108, 118, 125 Mr. Adkins 128 Adkins, Vince 93, 104 Aguilera, David 104 Aguilera, Jose 100 Aicher, Sam 36 Allard, Jeffrey 101 Mr. Allen 81, 128, 157 Almanza.

They had to live through many tough situations such as: five gruelling deadlines (sometimes not having any pictures until the very last day before a deadline), not Mr. Laub, yearbook advisor, opens the door to the 1988 REFLECTOR staff, which includes many new members. having headlines, Catherine's and Kelly's cropping, Nikki's occasional Bite a rock!”, and sometimes (though not very often) my crabbiness. But in the end, each staff member was proud of their individual work and the yearbook as a whole. Besides the twelve staff members, there were four other people who were very helpful in putting the book together. Mr. John Lovasko, Sr., was our professional photographer, who took care of class pictures. Mr. George Kingsley, our Herff Jones representative, was there if we ever needed any answers to questions concerning the layout of the yearbook. Mrs. Demkovich aided us by drawing the cover of the yearbook. And finally, Mr. Laub, our advisor, who was always there (even at times when we wished he wasn't) to help us with headlines and captions, and go over EVERYTHING before it was sent out (this often cut into his weekends)! I’d really like to express my gratitude to EVERYONE who helped on the 1987 RELFECTOR, especially the yearbook staff. Thanks, Traci, Editor Editor Traci Fritz leaves the REFLECTOR in hands of a new editor. 160 - K r
