Formally it is known as William A. Wirt High School, but in the groups of students which you find talking in its halls before the first hour class the term salt mine is much more common .i 2 ' ' fp Actually we like our school, but we wouldn't admit it to a soul unless ln i Tl W4 fl VI V Lffldhilpl f .

Or where the sprinklers run during the rainstorms? Or where the sprinklers run during the rainstorms? Or where you get tramped to death if you try to go against the mob at lunch hour? Yes, we do like our school. Some of us have gone to school here all of our lives, but most of us have transferred here from other schools, other communities, other cities. It is a symbol standing in our minds for tests, dances, term papers, the small cafeteria, ball games, and homework. Far more is learned in our school than what is taught out of the books. Here we learn to live with other people and to cope with the problems of school life. Our school is a symbol of growing up. No other building, outside of our own homes, do we know so well ...the smooth, yellow, tile walls, the occasionally polished tile floors, the heavy outside doors, the principal's office. We know all of these like fthe plam of our hand. We know these things, and we are proud of every one of them, for this is truly OUR SCHOOL.

Even it you've known everybody since tourth grade it's still nice to meet them again that Tuesday atter Labor Day. Getting acquainted can mean a lot of things. For the Freshmen it means adiusting to high school lite. For a Senior it's seeing the faces ot your class- mates who have grown iust a little more mature. Much has been done to help new students get acquainted such as Orientation Week and the various dances given at the outset of the school year. But all in all, the best way is that age-old method of borrowing an eraser, or asking tor a little help with your homework. Big sisters Sue and Sandy Schamer get ac- quainted with little sisters Sally Pierce and Mary Bishop by matching key chains during Girls Club Orientation week. Borrowing an eraser is a good way to meet people, as Bill Carter and Bobbie Burns dis- cover. lil , f Walk Through our Third Tloor hall any hour of The day and This is a sample oT vvhaT you'll seep books - advanced algebra books, LaTin books, English books, hisTory books, and yes, even an occasional comic book, l:nuT ThaT's vvhaT makes iT a Typical sTudy hall.

Anticipation - Thanks to school team work, an- other space in our trophy case was filled by the Calumet Conference foot- ball trophy. This trophy, as all other Wirt tro- phies, represents the hard work and cooperation of the team, students, coaches, and faculty. The team played hard to win the conference, realizing their highest aspirations, and bringing home the trophy for the first time since T948. Wirt students can well be proud of this trophy symbolizing school unity and effort. Homecoming hos grown to be one of the biggest celebrotions for Wirt students, toculty, cmd olumni. This yeor's golo porode ond cere- monies climcixed ci hectic week ot tloot build- ing ond prepdrcitions.

Jean McLean and Marlene Linne were chosen general chairmen for The parade. On game nighT iT was evidenT by The end of The firsT half ThaT we were on our way To vicTory. BUT The crowd was sTill in suspense as To who was To be The queen. ExciTemenT rose To a fever piTch before iT was announced ThaT Elaine TsouTsouris had been elecTed. The second half of The game was raTher anTi- climacTic as The Troopers rode roughshod over The hapless CalumeT Warriors.

The thermometer read l6 below zero, and the wind and snow seemed endless, but that didn't bother us in the least. lt merely meant another sweater, and perhaps an extra pair of socks. Many times some roads were impass- able. On a school day the buses were al- most always late. Our first hour classes would never begin on time. lt was remark- able how the teachers were always there on time. We guess they iust like teaching so much that they coulcln't stand to be a minute late. Mr. Nabhan even walked to school because he wanted to feel the cold brisk air. At tirst we thought his trusty car wouldn't start. Winter Sports Now, that's not the way to stop a toboggan, but I guess no one ever told Sandi Bodkin or Sharon Sowinski. Besides, who cares if you're having fun! Either someone has stolen his chair, or Ken Parmalee is just testing the ice for thickness. 14 The greater portion of the student body could always be found ice skating, tobog- ganing, or playing hockey. The boys played a tew rough games ot hockey at Snowden's pond. But, no matter how much we en- joyed the cold, it always telt good to sit near a big roaring tire and thaw out. How to get scorched toes in one easy lesson is demon- strated by this group ot cold skaters. Vieing for places near the tire are Marlene Gourlay, Ron Stapleton, Gary Apolskis, Bod Dougherty, and Myrna Rosenberg. After a long, hard day over a cold pond these girls, Sue Radigan, Kathy Finnerty, Leola Eklund, and Jo Ellen Stanton, are all set to drink some hot chocolate and have a real party. l 1 5 iii? 1. Rex ,L , The royolty ot the McVout Soiree, Mr. McVout, Bruce Miller, ond Miss Soiree, .lonet Weiss, ore congratulated by Vince Colombo, co-choirmon of the big evening, A rousing success was the vvoy this yec1r's McVout Soiree could be des- cribed. The community worked tor mony weeks prior to the big night to moke this the best one ever. Vincent Colombo ond Ann Woiohn were the co-choirmen ond they spent mciny o worried hour plcinning the progrorn tor the evening with Miss Armington. Fridoy, Mdrch 22, scivv mobs ot people, young cmd old, descend upon the school to sworrn through the hells. Once inside the door, one had no choice os to which wciy he wanted to go. lt was just step inside ond get shoved cilong. Lciughter wos the key- note ot the evening os people were pushed from booth to booth. At 9:30 ci donce was given, ot which time the royolty ot the evening vvcis onnounced. Bruce Miller, Mr. Mc- Vout, ond Jonet Weiss, Miss Soiree, were the lucky poir. By -llZ3O the school hod begun to cleor considerobly. Only Ann ond Vince were lett in ony con- dition to run ground the holls trying to collect proceeds ond see thot the build- ing vvcis cleoned. Everyone else hod either gone home or collcipsed. Since ticket toker Corole Loosemore vvouldn't occept younger brothers or sisters, these hoppy Seniors, Carol Lipscher, Morlene Linne, Bob Woitkus, ond George Kichukotf, had to bring some substitutes to get into the White Elephant dance. McVout Soiree This cute looking trio of Senior girls l?l, Marty Shanahan, Bobbie Dougherty, and Carol Lipscher, did a great iob of selling outside the Serior Room this year. Grunts aplenty were heard around the Indian Wrestling booth, as con- tests like the one Bill Brandvold and Mike Kertez are engaged in, raged throughout the evening. It looks as if Mal Starch, Mickey Shlens, is really testing that Shevlon lipstick that Carole Lipscher is wearing. lf you don't believe it, iust ask Tex Pinkledort, Bill Carter, the contestant in the booth. l f WWQ ,,,.40h.. l .2 , i fifrr. B ti 1 H kg I Study! Study! Study! Well, comfortable? Bet the only sound that could reach Karen Woiahn's ears at this moment is the newest Elvis Presley record or the dinner bell as she studies for the big test tomorrow. Now let's see. Use shall with second and third person and will with first. , .No. Wait a minute. Use shall with .. .. .. . Well, good luck, Mary Bishop, and here's hoping that last look at your notes will pull you through. l 1 8 While most of the last minute studying we do is at school, the heaviest burden at other times falls on those all too few out of school hours. Stretching out on the living room floor, curled up in an easy chair, or last, and usually least, sitting upright at a desk. These are the favorite positions for that ardous task of crack- ing the book. Ardous is hardly the word for the iob set before the students, for the temptations set be- fore us are overwhelming. A good television program, a good book, a good ball game. Why does everything have to be so good when we have to study? Perhaps the biggest demon is the radio. Listening to it and writing a passing Eng- lish theme is a feat accomplished by few. Many of us try it, though. Have you ever read an English theme written in four-four time? O.K., Mr. McDowell, if you think you can solve it, then go right ahead! says Elias Davis. True, the places of study change occasion- ally. Football season finds the quarterbacks house iammed. Basketball season is much the same. One large exception, however, is term paper time. During these hectic three weeks the Gary Railways Corporation does a tremendous business transporting the mob of students to and from the Public Library. Amid a multitude of shhhhhhhhs from the harassed librarians, the attack on the reference books is made. Much to their pleasure the recession of the tide is lust as quick. Far be it from us, though, to condemn the practice and call a halt to homework, for it does serve one great purpose. What better excuse to get out of the house than to say, l'm going over to Joe's to study history. Granted the chances of the pages of a history book even being distrubed are mightly slim, but at least something will be studied ..... girls, ball' games, the cruelness of teachers, the world's problems. Through the maze of reference books peer the ' disturbed faces of Steve Miller and Sharon John- , son as the term paper deadline draws near. Hey, Cash, your cotten-pickin' sign is crooked.

They were a lot of fun and halt that fun was making the pre parations. Whether you were another Fred Astaire or iust a substitute for Mepba, the dances were big events throughout the whole school year. Let's stay out ofthe corner, kiddies.

Chips 'n' Shavings This year Wirt school revived Chips 'n Sha- vings, the annual talent show. It was a tremendous success as anyone who attended will tell you. There were T6 acts presented and they varied from piano solos to a hot jazz band. First and se- cond prizes were awarded. Leroy Kietzman won first prize with a hilarious imitation of Victor Borge. Francis Boone's imitation of Elvis Presley won her second prize while really bringing down the house. Honorable mentions were awarded to Ann Woiahn for a piano solo, and to Pam Mc- Connell who did an original tap dance routine. One of the highlights ofthe evening was a com- mand pertormance by Robert and Rubin Eagle, nationally known singing stars. The jazz band blasts out some resounding notes. Members ot the band are Mick Shlens, Elias Davis, Ricci Weaver, Dave Ransel, John Ballard, Don Roe, and John Hill 22 Leap Week Astor social events, l'Leap Week easily heads the list as being the most po- pular. The club also sponsors Orientation Week in September, the Girls' Club Dance in April, and the Mother-Daughter Tea in May. Although all high school girls are con- sidered members ot the club, only those vvho pay dues are eligible to participate in the yearly activities. This year's otticers were Elaine Tsoutsouris, president, Carol Dumas, vice-president, Kathy Finerty, sec- retary, Leola Eklund, treasurer, Margaret Frame, historian, and Judy Romig, Orien- tation Week chairman. Miss Schnabel and Miss Burke are the sponsors ot the club.

Hush my gui- tar, no wonder Karen Glover and Marlene Miller are tempted to be a little late to class. Crazy man! Cant hear a thing after one of those wild cheers. Maybe they will invent a silent one one ot these days. 'Til they do, I guess girls like Marlene Linne will iust keep the crowds yelling. Tired, but olive, the Seniors and their sponsors, Mrs. Norman Hiller and Miss Elanore Brace, pose for a picture on the Capitol steps. The other sponsor, Mr. Nick Meneakis, is hiding behind the camera. Wirt Seniors make a stop to investigate the Capitol Building on their whirlwind tour of Washington, D. C. It was dine and dance all at the sometime when you eat on o train, os Vince Colombo, Bruce Miller, Dennis Spangler, and Rocky Laterzo found out. 25 I i N OFFICERS A little inspiration from Cl feathered triend is given to the Senior class officers, Joan Lathrop, secretary, Bruce Mil- ler, vice-president, and David Ransel, president, as they discuss plans tor the prom.

HUDSOINVS The Wirt Drama Class this year chose for its spring play to do a stage version of the fa- mous Television series, Dr, Hudson's Secret Journal. Not slacking up one bit after the com- pletion of the Christmas Pageant, it immedi- ately started work to make this, their final play of the year, the best ever given at Wirt. Dr.Hudson, Mickey Shlens, and Mr. Warren, Leroy Kietzman, dis- cuss plans for the new hospital as Nancy, Sue Barger, looks on. After her operation Dr. Hudson's daughter, Marilyn Gourlay, is wheeled into his office for a talk. The nurses are Kathy Fuller and Sue Blankenship. Also concerned with her health is Steve Makatura, who Dr. Hudson has been putting through school. 28 SECRET JGURNAL Ot course, it was pretty much the same old story when it came to re- hearsal time. Lunch hours, after school, evenings, anytime, any place. But the players accepted this and worked hard at every opportunity. Finally, when Miss Labb made the imortal statement, Well, people, it's your play, they took the stage and did an outstanding job. A little publicity for Dr. Hudson's pet proiect, a new hospital. Taking the picture is Peggy O'Neil, Mr. War- ren's daughter, and Bob Parks is taking notes. Mr. Warren and Dr. Hudson pose for the photographer. Waiting anxiously outside the door of the operating room for word of Dr. Hudson's daughter are Jo Ann Hoffman, Peggy O'Neil, Sandra Knapp, Ginny Swisshelm, Leroy Kietzman, and Sue Barger. l 29 Q- '--. .5 5iJy . fowl - 'ff Q .4 .. i A K it lay v V Ly. ttf H -ggi. f-sg . fe Q . , .- .f F.. f . s .. - gg 4 i iq i 11 'lt ' 1' i? gi 'Q K' Q., 1' 'Iii' 2 5 5' 3 it ii? i ' 33 ' 2 ' - A ?'fL.i6s'1'wi-W. .1272 ,gil , P L,,,, .. , Q .. .

Most of us will admit that our year would have been completely lost it it weren't for the guidance and help ot the faculty. They were always ready to help. Many gave time and energy so we could learn something and have fun at the same time, while they iust received more gray hairs. They are the ones who should be re membered,tor many ot us were given that little push into man or womanhood. Many of them were second parents, always there, always ready to help. Th'ey weren't our masters, but our friends. It we haven't al- ready, perhaps someday we will realize what they have done for us, and in some small way thank them. PRINCIPAL R. O.

UM! my The many underclassmen are pictured in the following section. The underclass- men range from skeptic Freshmen, to Sophomores who know it all, and to Jun- iors whose prime purpose in lite is to give the Seniors a hard time. Really these three classes are the backbone ot the high school. Without their support, the leaders ot the school would have a very ditticult iob. In all classes there is a great amount ot competition. This competition is what makes our school as fine as it is, tor though we work tor our class, we also work tor our school. We have found during the past year that when we work together, nothing is impossible. , zmf Q ',,. L' , I , f v : nf 41 Q ' 'I LN aj?

It was the best that anyone in Gary had ever seen. We had the biggest McVout Soiree too, clearing the two thousand dollar mark. Our dances were all huge successes. Almost any Friday night one could find many of the high school stu- dents all dressed up down in the gym danc- ing up a crazy storm. All of the organizations were very busy too. Ot course there were the usual banquets, awards, and conferences. Many of the clubs called in speakers who gave fine talks and caused a lot of discussion. The boys will always remember Leep Week, while the girls will sigh when you mention the Prom. Wirt Student Organization W.S.O. officers and Miss Ann Armington, sponsor, confer on a current school problem. The officers are, left to right, Vincent Colombo, vice-president, Dennis Holmes, president, Janet Weiss, secretary, and Myrna Rosenberg, treasurer. Just a few years ago, in what we now sometimes refer to as the little red schoolhouse, a student was made to study his three R's. Since that time the course of study in our schools has progressed and been greatly broadened. With this progress has come the opportunity to better prepare ourselves for our future lives. One of these courses enables the student to learn how to operate the basic principle of our government, the principle of self-government. The pur- pose of the Wirt Student Organization is to develop student leadership, discuss student problems, act as a liaison group between the student body and the faculty, and, most important, to try to coagulate the energy of the student body into one united energy for the benefit of the school as well as for our- selves. The council is composed of four officers: president, vice-president, secre- tary, and treasurer, the presidents of the four high school classes, a boiy and girl representative from each of the four high school classes, and the chairmen of the council's four standing committees: election, social, booster, and traffic. The sponsor of the council is Miss Ann Armington. She is a faculty mem- ber who was appointed by the principal, Mr. Bohn. The sponsor is supposed to act only in an advisory capacity and does not have the right to vote. The council has its regular meetings on Monday and Tuesday of every week. lt also meets every other Wednesday. Any student or faculty member may visit or speak before the council while it is in session. All business which is transacted by this organization is reported to the student body by the class representatives. A report must be made at least once a month. 66 This year a W.S.O. suggestion box was put up so that the students could freely express their ideas. The suggestions were read at the regular meetings on Monday. Here the council tound many helpful suggestions. The Student Council with the assistance ot the Booster Committee and many ot the clubs at Wirt put on the greatest homecoming in the history of Gary this year. A parade was presented which consisted ot twenty-one floats and tive marching units. Prizes were given to the best tloat and marching unit. The McVout Soiree, Wirt s annual carnival, was sponsored again by the Wirt Student Organization and the Miller-Wirt P.T.A. This money making pro- iect has grown so large that every room in Wirt School is being used that night. A spirit ot cooperation and coordination between the students, faculty, and community makes the McVout one ot the high points ot the school year. This yeor members ot the student body and Student Council have tried to write a Code ot Ethics which will be a criterion for the Wirt students. When this code is tinished we teela great stride will have been made toward mak- ing our students better citizens ot our community. The Wirt Student Organization begins a school assem- Janet Weiss, Myrna Rosenberg, Tom Dodds, Jean McLean bly Front row, Lett to Right, Dave Ransel, Ann Woiahn, Morris Tomerlin.

The Election Committee has jurisdiction over all high school elections. Besides writing the rules and regulations tor voting, they see that the elections follow the proper democra- tic procedures. Vincent Colombo is the student chairman, and Miss Armington is the faculty sponsor. The voting tor Homecoming, the King and Queen Dance, McVout Soiree, W.S.O. otticers, and community and civic awards are under its supervision. This committee, as well as the Trattic and Social Committees, is composed ot two representatives from each of the tour high school classes. The election committee chair- man, Vince Colombo, prepares to count the votes while other members look on. Members standing are Rocco Laterzo, Jim Tuertt, Mark Walner, Gerry Beisler, Joyce Dolalc, and Bar- bara Ballard. Those seated are Julie Lutinen, Vince, and Peggy Kosky. 5 The Booster Committee is one ot the tour standing committees who work with the Stu- dent Council. The sponsor is Miss Brace. Mar- lene Linne is the chairman. The Booster Committee is comprised ot the varsity and reserve cheerleaders and eight representatives elected by their res- pective classes. lts duties are: to plan and conduct the pep sessions, promote and publicize all school activities, and encourage good school spirit. The Booster Committee works on a sign tor an important game.

This year a hallguard and stairguard program has been set up. The stairs and sections ot certain halls have been made one-way. These changes have shown tav- orable results.

Annual Staff This Sandscript has been published by the class of l957's annual staff. Amid a maze of deadlines and pictures schedules the staff worked, writing copy, selecting pictures, and planning pages. Nobody remained very calm during the trying days before each deadline, but generally the only outward sign of strain was a rash of headaches after the deadlines had been met. Surprisingly enough, after the dust had cleared and everything had slowed down to a fast walk, we found that we had the 'I957 Sandscript. Art editors, Joan Parker and Janet Weiss arrange pictures forthe sports section while Dave Ransel, sports editor, gives them advice. . i News - H JL? 1 -,iq .11 'K . -, i!??11?:,:rEi?i3l?t5flX f . nigga? , 'ii' :-552:-Q15 iz 'f5i:?5'i??r5? is we Classes editor, Marlene Linne, and activities editor, Alan Gilbert, plan the arrangement ot their sections to blend harmoniously.

D RAMA Those toreshortened lunch hours and the atter school practices called by Miss Labb, drama instructor, really paid ott as the drama class did an outstanding iob on all ot their productions this year. The Christmas Pageant, The Prince ot Peace, was one ot the best ever given at Wirt. Atter Christmas vacation work started on Lorna Loone. This hilarious melodrama kept the crowd at the McVout Soiree in stitches Four one-act plays were given to audi- torium classes to gain experience tor the spring masterpiece, Dr. Hudson's Secret Journal.

Membership to the association is open to any girl in high school, pro- vided she passes the initiation day stunts , earns at least IOO points during the school year, and pays the nominal dues. The G.A.A. turnabout Christmas dance is one of the most important of Wirt's semi-formal dances. This year over IOO couples attended the gala affair at the Mar- quette Park pavilion. The finale of the year's activities was the banquet where new officers were installed, and outstanding mem- bers were honored.

W CLUB The Club is an organization of long standing at Wirt School. lt is made up solely of boys who have won a letter in any varsity sport, whether it be football, basketball, track, or baseball. The club meets for the purpose of creating better school spirit, working on projects of school importance, and pro- moting good sportsmanship among its members. Membership in Club serves as an incentive for the prospective ath- lete to strive to be a better player and a better sportsman. A dance was sponsored by the club to help pay for the new uniforms worn by the football team this year. The ln and Out game, which pitted the Juniors against the Seniors in basketball, was given for the enioyment of the students and the community. Club put on a variety of games in the gym for our carnival, the McVout Soiree, even though many of its members were busy representing Wirt School in a track meet. The Seniors also got new letter iackets again this year. Larry Pavol was the president of the Club this year with Dennis Spangler as his vice-president.

Well, that was another easy game. Hey, after tonight we'll be in first place! These were iust a few of the things that were said about some of our teams this year. Our boys fought and fought, and the harder we fought the more sure we were of a victory. Of course there were times when our team came out on the short end of things, but we didn't argue when our teams brought home two conference trophies. We learned something this year. We've had a long dry spell, and the change was very easy. We iust decided to work together. We worked and fought together, and as a result, we won together. It took the united effort of the entire school. DENNIS HOLMES Senior fullback FirsT Team AII-conf. Hon. Men. AII-state Mosf valuable CAPT.

Moplunges for T.D. against Griffith. The Troopers posted an outstanding record for the T956 football season. With an over-all record ot seven wins and two losses, the team tied with East Gary and Gary Edison tor the Calumet Conference crown. Speed, power, and the will to win were the factors that enabled our gridders to do so well. After three weeks of summer practice, the Trooper eleven took the field against Edison in an abbreviated game to inaugurate Gilroy Stadium. Wirt lost 6-O, but got many mistakes out ot its system, as was proved during the regular season. Our boys opened a lot ot skeptical eyes when they upset Tolleston 6-O in the seesons tirst game. The touch- down was made by Dennis Holmes on an T8-yard end run.

After dropping to a 2 and 2 conference standing, the Troopers rallied back with a win when they met Merrillville at Wirt field. The hard hitting Wirt line caused the Pirates to fumble several times. Consequently our team racked up a handsome 24-T3 victory. Two tallies were made by Kelley Sargent, and one each by Dennis Holmes and David Ransel. The Griffith homecomers had little to cheer about when our Troopers invaded their gridiron and walked off with a T2-6 triumph. One of the high spots of the season was homecoming night when we hosted Calumet Township. The game itself was a rout with Wirt winning -44-7.

This year's team was built almost entirely from inexperienced men. With the exception of our half-mile relay foursome and possibly three individuals, the squad was composed of boys who had seen no previous varsity action. The performances of the '57 Trooper thinlies was a real tribute to the hard work and combined effort of the team and coach.

For The second consecutive year base- ball was sponsored as ahigh school sport at Wirt. The season record, while not im- pressive, did not Truly mirror the play of The team. Hampered by size, a late spring, and very inadequate facilities, The Team still worked hard Trying to whip up a solid playing unit. Since we were not playing in The Calumet Conference baseball schedule, we were forced To accept a very iumbled schedule, playing anyone who had an open date. The first team we met was Emerson, who rather Thoroughly drubbed us, T3 To O. Next came Hobart, a keen rival of ours. They Too over-whelmed us. Fighting back gamely, we ventured a Trip To Hammond Bishop Noll. Playing by far our finest game of The season, we beat Noll 6 To 4 behind The fine pitching of Bob Miller. A second encounter with Hobart brought but little more reward than The first as we again went down to defeat. Once more our schedule called for us To encounter Hammond Noll, but This Time The Trip home was far from The gay one which we had previously made for we lost a heart-breaker in extra innings, 5 to 3. 108 T ' Ulla. . A journey To Hammond Morton The following week also proved very discon- certing as an explosive fifth inning broke The back of The fighting Troopers. We lost The encounter by a score of 6 to l. TollesTon, The next school on our schedule, played us To a stand-still until They finally managed To push The winning run over and send us again into The defeat column. The final game of The season was played against The same Team with which we began iT, Emerson. Because of no home field, we were again forced To Travel away. This Time we faired far better, Though, Than in The first encounter. However, we were still defeated in a hard fought game, 5 To 2. Next year Coach Richard Scheub has made plans to enter Wirt into The Con- ference. This will be a big step Towards the improvement of The Team, for iT will afford The members far more opportunity To play, which in itself is The best way To practice.
