Each spelling word, theme, and speech turthers us on the Hpath of knowledge toward our intangible destination. The study of literature introduces us to its And the vowels are a, e, i, o, u. many peoples - focusing first on Greek and Ro- man myths and finally expanding to include the history of our language and its classics. Applying this background to themes and compositions instills in our minds the essentials of present day communication. i'Curtain Call 8 CONVEY OUR THCDUGHTS We learn to express our thoughts through public speaking and gain poise and confi- dence in ourselves by this experience. Still progressing, we delve into the Ro- mance Languages and realize how much we have in common with our, neighbors - pre- sent and ancient. We've only begun our quest for self ex- pression - the world will make us wise to its use - each day there is progress...

From the moment when, as a child, we first become aware of the world about us, we begin to grasp at things, and soon ask, Why? and How? Grade school gives us a hint of the answers. In biology we begin to know ourselves and other living thingsg chemistry further breaks down organic and inorganic obiects into separate molecules and atoms, physics introduces the torces and powers which may compel motion, heat, and light. We ultim- ately use our mathematics to determine where and when these powers will act, and in what direction. Dale demonstrates the use of the oscilloscope How many cells can you count? AND CDUR BACKGROUND Experience has been, and will always be, our best teacher, this, combined with knowledge of how peoples of the past have reacted under similar circumstances, compiles our text of learning today. World History traces the begin- ning of man and takes us up through the ages of recorded events. We learn of our United States heritage and how government and eco- nomics have progressed to suit present and future needs. We need only to combine these accumu- lated facts and theories, there are vast oppor- tunities to explore the unknown , waiting only forthe explorer.. . Pat Lewis explains the inscribed circle.

Basic handy-man work can pro- gress to the building ot furniture, while in sewing, a girl can learn to stitch a straight seam and may even ultimately attempt constructing a dress over a Designer pattern - the tinal goal ot many seamstresses. Typing provides a quicker and more legible torm ot written self-expression and increases manual dexterity to sur- pass long hand . The use ot the body, well coordi- nated to perform an activity, is the product of training and thought com- bined -thus the necessity ot ed- ucating both mind and body.

The weeks of anticipation arouse the Miller community to a fever pitch of ex- citement. With the big day near at hand, a few final preparations and at long last the pieces de resis- tance are completed. Skunks, lawnmowers, soap, and torches are but a few personified expressions . symbolizing high hopes for the coming game. Win- , ning and losing are a part of life. Not everyone can X win, but the process of attempting to, provides a means of creativeness which is as necessary a part of schooling as science or literature, and youth seems to thrive and excel in such a challenge.

The Wirt Student Organization, more com- monly called the council , is governing body and voice of the students. By its consent and under its influence clubs organize and activities progress to provide a rounded social life within the school. Student members daily meet and discuss special proiects varying from dances to such things as a spring carnival. But the council is not without a guide as it functions.

These are the reporters that collect all the news. 58 The Shifting Sands, written, edited, and printed by Wirt stu- dents, is the grapevine of all the activities, news, and gossip in our school. This year its staff gave the stu- dents something bigger and bet- ter , a professionally printed pa- per. Not receiving enough financial assistance through advance sale of subscriptions, they returned to the older and more economical method of mimeographing. lt's a tedious iob, as anyone on the staff can tell you, to write copy that will interest everyone, plan space, and most important, meet deadlines. However, when the finished product is finally on sale, everyone can sit back and point with satisfaction to his part in its completion, whether it is reporting, typing a stencil, or cranking the handle of the mimeograph machine. The ultimate result is a trained reporter, who can smell out news even before it happens, and write it up in an interesting, unbiased man- ner. Pictured left to right, standing: M. Peltz, S.

The Singing Sands, an anthology of ori- ginal student literary efforts, is the only pro- duction of this type among Gary schools. It shows, in print, the variety of work students have been doing throughout the school year. The staff is comprised of students chosen through applications, for ability, willingness to work, and character. Under the direction of Mr. Connaway, they meet in the evenings, first, merely reading the notice attempts of classmates, and then either accepting, reiect- ing, or placing the manuscripts in the may- be folder. The next step is to put them into squares , thus setting up a dummy for typists, and enabling the layout editors to plan pages. The final product portrays the feelings, interests, and ideals of Wirt students-the Singing Sands. The staff consists of, sitting, left to right: L. Holmes J Swartz, J. Rosenburg, M. Frame. Standing, left to right H Goetz, K. Woiahn, l. Benson, B. Rearick, and S. Regan l s Art Editor S. Horwith and Photography Editors M. Prete and M. Kertesz look over suitable pictures, M. Laub, Art Editor is not pictured. Deadline, deadline, deadline -these words set each and every member of the annual staff into a cycle of continous ac- tion. The book begins with the art edi- tors, who sketch and plan layouts, pro- duction is continued bythe photography editors, who schedule pictures of classes, class functions, organizations, and sports events, with a deluge of photos, copy and activity editors must see that pictures are cropped, identified, and appropriate manu- script written, from there the typists take over, Concurrently, the sports editors write up the seasons games as they take place. The business managers are kept Hhoppingu, devising campaign strategy to finance the annual through dances and sales. The edi- tor-in-chief maintains the pace, seeing that things run smoothly, solving problems be- fore and as they occur, and doing most of the worrying. Miss Armington serves as sponsor and chief advisor. With the satisfaction of authors, the staff anxiously anticipates the last step in the actual completion of the cycle, the ar- rival and distribution of their toil and ef- forts-the l958 Sandscript.

During the year the girls take up all phases of athletic life including wallball, basketball, valleyball, and baseball. Besides these group activities, the girls earn points for GAA by participating in any sport such as hiking, horseback riding, golf, and swimming. The year is climaxed by the banquet, where everybody feasts and then awards are given. The club teaches sportsmanship and co-operation, but also gives its members good fellowship. 72,175 ...L .A- MMF WW' The GAA board members are L. Holmes, P. Keitzman, S. Pierce, S. Horwith, M.

Kelley Sargent evades Griffith linebacker as he smashes through the Panthers line. A typhoon of speed, fortitude, and team spirit enabled the Wirt Troopers to capture their second consecutive conference championship with a 7-O record. The Wirt team also regained a much sought Wirt- Edison Victory Bell. The Troopers met the Edison Blazers September 3, in a pre-season city-wide football-o-rama game at Gilroy Stadium, thus inaugurating the l957 football season. The Troopers defeated the Bla- zers l3-O with Kelley Sargent sparking the Trooper drive with a 92-yard sprint for a Wirt Tally. Dennis Biodrowski scored another T.D. on a 9-yard run on a quick play, and Jim Lessard kicked the extra point. The Wirt Gridmen managed to defeat Tolleston 7-6. .lim Lessard's kicking ability was again uncovered as he added an extra point to Gary Apolskis' 50 yard touchdown run. Then we went on to trip East Gary l4-l2, for our first Calumet Conference victory. Ken Parmalee blocked an East Gary kick with Dave Hady gathering the pigskin in to run 5 yards for a Wirt T.D. Gary Apolskis ended the Wirt drive by scoring another touchdown on a 3 yard run. In the next game, although the Troopers ran over 200 yards they only managed to squeak by the Portage Indians 6 to O, at the lndian's newly acquired field. From there they met and defeated an overrated Lowell team 26 to 0. Kelley Sargent scored 2 T.D's on a long 43 yard sprint and another on a 5 yard pass from Quarterback Dave Brown. FALL FGOTBALL IS HERE! Tomerlin scored on a line plunge and Biodrowski crashed across the white chalk line after running l5 yards. Soon the Tro- opers made their homecoming a success by tromping the Dyer Indians, 39 to O. Biodrowski accounted for 3 touchdowns while Tomerlin, Stapleton, and Sargent scored on line plunges. Sud- denly our good luck was stopped by the appearence of a new enemy, the flu bug. The Merrillville-Wirt game was played with the effects of the previous epidemic still present. Despite this the Troopers made the Pirates walk the plank, 2 5-7. Again Biodrow- ski scored, while Kelly Sargent plunged over for l2 points. Dave Hady blocked a Merrillville punt with Jim Lessard recovering the ball and romping over the Pirate goal line for another T.D. Through freezing rain the Troopers clobered the mighty Griffith Panthers 28-6. Morris Tomerlin scampered 48 yards on one of his three touchdowns, and Kelly Sargent scored another on a end run. Jim Lessard's mud covered toe was up to par as he made four conversions. The Troopers then met cross-town rivals Gary Edison and went on to beat them for the first time in many years, 25-O. The Blazers used an 8 man line, hoping to stop the Trooper offense, but were fooled as the Troopers took to the air and scored two touchdowns on passes from Dave Brown to Ken Par- malee and Jerry Pierce. Then, the Troopers were called upon to play the Tornatos of Gary Emerson in a post Season game. The Troopers put up a good fight but it was to no avail as they lost the game 25-l3.

They weren't. lt was the first time in the history of the Calumet Conference that any school had gone undefeated in two maior sports. Wirt placed two players on the All-Conference team. They were Dennis Biodrowski cmd Kelly Sargent. Moe Tomerlin and Jerry Pierce received honorable mention. Kelly Sargent was also selected to the all Gary sectional team. November 26, the Trooper five traveled to Memorial Auditorium to capture their first win in Calu- met Conference play by downing Griffith 59 to 48. Kelly Sargent and Dennis Biodrowski were high point men with 20 points each. The Troopers came from behind in the second half of play to beat Portage 70 to 57 in the sec- ond game of conference play. The Troopers moved up a notch to have 3 conference wins and no losses, by defeating Gary Edi- son 52 to 48. Dennis Biodrowski, high scorer for Wirt, connected to make 20 points. Kelly Sargent scored 36 points and Dennis Biodrowski received 27 points to win their fourth con- ference victory by defeating East Gary 86 to 76.

Tomerlin, R. Pink, J. Pierce. 77 Jerry Pierce lets go with a one hander that means two points. Five down and two to go . - That was the score after winning the game against Merrillville by four points, 58 to 54. This was a battle to the final horn with Merrillville leading at the half 3l to 29. Remembering the football record, Coach Scheub pushed his ball club to a 54 to 42 victory over Dyer. Good board work was turned in by Sargent and Biodrowski. The all important game arrivedg and Wirt traveled to Lowell to see if they could make it two sports with a 7-O record. Lowell had bad shooting in the first half scoring only T8 points while the Troopers tossed in 32 points. Coach Scheub seeing that the seniors on the floor had things well under control, left them in command for the entire game. Final score 65 to 54. TIME FCDR ROUND BALL Kelly Sargent and his short hook against Emerson. Kelly shows how to clean the boards by grabbing a free throw shot. Dennis Biodrowski seems to be in trouble, but Moe Tomerlin is coming to the rescue. With the excitement. of Conference Championship, we almost forgot about the game ot all games, Wirt vs. Roosevelt. Wirt played a tight game, committing only 4 errors in the entire game. Wirt trailed all the way, then tied the game 50 all with less than 2 minutes to play. Less than 50 seconds to go, Roosevelt moved to a 2 point lead. Sargent made it 52-52 with a drive in and was fouled. Sargent made his tree shot to make the game 53 to 52, Wirt ahead. Roosevelt had the ball with lO seconds to go. Hetlin, a very dangerous man, was fouled. His shot missed, and Wirt grabbed the loose ball and ran out the lO seconds.

This year the Trooper Cinder squad, under the able coaching of Mr. Jack Owen and Mr. Edward Paloncy, won our third Calumet Confer- ence Championship. The Wirt track team has never lost a dual or trianglor track meet in the past three years. March 20, the Trooper track team traveled to the University of Chicago field house for the City lndoor Track and Field Meet. Wirt placed fifth out of the eight Gary schools, gaining points in the 880 yard run, shot put, pole vault, and 440 yard run. 81 Wirt's three half-milers appear to be taking all three places. They are: Ken Parmelee, Mike Lewis, and Tom Rogers. lt was an early Saturday morning when the Trooper Cinder squad started to go across the State tor the Goshen Relays. Wirt was entered in Class B competition, due to the fact that our enrollment in high school was under 500 pupils. Wirt placed fifth out of twenty-seven other schools from throughout the State. Wirt's half mile relay team consisting of Biodrowski, Wallner, Tomerlin and Apolskis grabbed first place honors. Wirt then undertook the task of win- ning their seventh trock meet. They did it by defeating Calumet and Edison. Wirt had 56M points to Calumet's 42 and Edison's 25W THE CINDER SQUAD PRACTICES April T, Wirt played host to Chesterton in a 'track ond field meet.
