William A Wirt High School - Sandscript Yearbook (Gary, IN)

We started our cruise with great enthusiasm, and sailed from September to June. It was hard work getting pictures of everyone, writing articles, and staying after school, but it was worth every minute of it. Thanks to our skipper, Miss Armington, and our editor, Pat Egan, we were really kept working. Shirley Wood, business manager, and her assistant, Carol Anderson, did a swell job handling our money. This is the first year we've had a padded cover on the annual. The staff decided we could get them if we worked hard and sold a lot of annuals. We think it was worth it. We also changed from an engraved to a lithographed type annual and so the whole set-up was really new. Even with all the confusion we had a wonderful time. Our cruise is over and we present to you, our 1953 SANDSCRIPT. Associate Staff We really had a group of high pressure salesmen on our staff this year. In the four weeks that the annual subscriptions were on sale they managed to sell 240 copies. Herb Shultz was our high salesman, but the rest were very close behind. Our thanks to this fine group for the work and effort they put forth to sell enough books to make the work of gathering and organizing this book worth while. ASSOCIATE ANNUAL STAFF LEFT TO RIGHT—J.

Shifting Sands After several years of comparative inactivity, the Shifting Sands was revived this year. The staff met every other day first hour and were able to publish a paper about twice a month. They were quite pressed for space, as the old office, where newspaper staff was held, was used by several other groups of persons. At first the paper was put out with office and typing room typewriters; and the commercial depart-men mimeograph machine. Later in the year, the staff was fortunate to have assistance from the Annual staff in buying a brand new mimeograph machine. The paper immediately began to look better. Shortly after this, the Board of Education loaned us a used typewriter and the staff was able to do most of its work without leaving the newspaper office. As a special project, the Shifting Sands staff took it upon themselves to publish a program and souvenir issue that was sold at the McVout Soiree.
