I Page Twenty-Six 'Ps .S E:- fi L' 1' igailm Miss Mary Wirth '60 A born teacher, was the title earned by Miss Mary Wirth while teaching at this school, for her conscientious work and her fine influence over the pupils. Graduating from Columbus High School in 1860 at the age of fourteen, Miss Wirth was given a school immediately and one year later found her teaching. In 1872 she came to this school, then known as the Columbus High School, where she soon won a place in the hearts of all her students. It was no effort for the pupils to understand her subject, nor was it dif- ficult for Miss Wirth to have order in her classroom, because of her pleasing per- sonality and gift as a teacher. During the twenty-five years she taught at this build- ing, she trained many of the boys and girls who are now the prominent business men and women of this city. Miss Wirth has now retired, but her services as a teacher will never be forgotten. She deserves the credit for the edu- cation of hundreds of boys and girls and will always be gratefully remem- bered by all these whom she instructed. The picture above is a likeness of Miss Wirth while she was teach- ing in the seventies. MISS MARY WIRTH.
