Seniors! After four years of working, playing, studying and dreaming, we have finally arrived at high school 's end. When we were freshmen, all thoughts of Graduation were far in the future, and we just concen- trated on enjoying our first year of high school. Our girls were the last to wear gunny sacks to school for G.A.A. initiation. Julie Luttinen, Jo Ellen Stanton, Carol Monson, and Leola Eklund were made reserve cheerleaders. Gary Apolskis and Paul Jancarich made the varsity football squad. With Sara Hambleton as president, we gave the St. Patrick's Day dance, Shamrock Shuffle. We ended the year knowing we had made our first step successfully. Safari was our unique sopho- more dance under the leadership of Ron Stapleton. With the help of a few of our boys, the Troopers tied for the conference champion- ship in football and came in first in track. Ordering class rings was the most exciting event of the year. When they came in the spring, we wore them proudly to prove we were upperclassmen at last. Kathy Finerty and Leola Ek- lund were our junior attendants at Homecoming while the boys joined in winning the Calumet Confer- ence All-Sports Trophy.

During our senior summer Anne Palko and Kathy Finerty repre- sented Wirt at Girls' State, and Gary Rockhill and Roy Vician represented us at Boys' State. At the end of August we voted for Football-O-Rama Queen, and Sue Barnes was crowned the day before we started our Senior year. i958 Homecoming was victor- ious for the seniors. We not only won the game, but we also won the prize for beauty with our float Sue Barnes reigned supreme once more, and Sue Tillett and Leola Eklund were her senior attendants Wirt won again the second-place trophy in Gary's Peanuts for Polio Drive. Gary Apolskis was our city chairman, and Jim Tuerff, senior class president, was school chair- man. The iuniors presented Royal Hearts for our King and Queen Dance and honored us with a Senior Farewell. Our prom was the best ever, and one of our many high school lasts. lt was hard to believe that Baccalau- reate and Graduation were really for us, WE were the ones who were graduating! As the year rapidly ended, we realized that our lives were iust beginning. We gave thanks to the teachers, principals, and friends who guided us, while we looked ahead to all life holds.
