Individuals vary yearly pattern. Every fall, with regularity, school begins; every spring, without fail, graduates in caps and gowns end their high school careers. What hap- pens between the beginning of school and its dismissal affects the whole life of each student. Whitmer, with its own customs, traditions, and personality, welcomes incoming students into its friendly atmosphere, and helps them to adapt to it. The high academic standards, keen athletic competition, and gen- erally stimulating atmosphere which are provided by the school allow the student to grow and develop his potential. An alumnus of this distinctive educational system leaves Whitmer at graduation as a more complete personality. The graduate is not the only one who profits from his time spent at Whitmer. The school gains with each new student's arrival; it is enriched by his searching mind; it profits from his very presence. Al- though he may take standard courses and follow routine procedure, each student is an individual and contributes to his school as such. Traditions renew their fire and vitality with each new wave of enthusi- astic students who participate in them. Each new group is an identity in itself; every group helps to build the over-all character of the school. Ev- ery group, every student, is different; but when they are combined, they are the school. They form a new, a different, and a growing school each year. Although the classes, clubs, and co-curricular activities a re much the same from year to year, the distinguishing element, that makes this school year different from the score of others that have preceded it and the scores of others to follow, is the students. These individual members of the school set apart each year, each activity, each day, from all oth- ers and impress upon them a distinctive mark and stamp of personality. Throughout this book the emphasis will be upon the people — students and teachers — who have made this school year both memorable and distinctive. For each of them this one nine-month school period holds a personal significance. The 1963 Oracle hope to preserve and enhance these memories for everyone as one more year closes and becomes a part of Whitmer’s history. Inter-Club Council meets after school in the student activities room. It is composed of rep- resentatives from all school organizations and advised by Mr. Schaller. The council co-ordi- nates club activities and gives approval for all their money-raising projects. } }

The mural which decorates the east wall of the field house was painted by Jim Nickloy, a local artist. It shows the evolution of athletic events and pictures all sports in which Whitmer participates. Even a styl- ized Panther has been incorporated into the design in the lower right. Graduation has a different meaning to dif- ferent seniors. To some it represents the end of their formal education and the be- ginning of their life’s work. To others it is merely a stepping stone towards a higher education, either at a college or at a school of specialized training. In the classroom students use a study peri- od to learn the same French verbs, geom- etry theorems, and cell structures that oth- er students before them have had to learn. ar ae Students eagerly await the last period of the day on special Fridays when pep sessions are held. Here juniors meet their friends and enter the field house to cheer their team. Students’ spirits rise as high as the flames of the crackling bonfire. Here our fighting Panther teams are introduced to their cheering classmates at the beginning of the football season.
