HONOR GRADUATES Barbara Delate Terrie Grady Charlene Isaacson Carol Schneidewind Nancy Meyerson Judith Anderson Richard Melton Eugene Sargent Frank Wagner On the night of June 4, Paul Weislogel, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Weisloge! of 151 Huntington Court, stepped to the microphone and delivered the opening commencement speech not only as a member of Wirt's twenty-fifth graduating class but also as its second ranking student. Paul has served Wirt for four years as a scholar, musician, and leader. Showing early promise, Paul led all other freshman contestants in a city-wide essay contest lauding Gary's strategic location. Paul found in his junior year that his advanced math and science courses, Joe Berg Seminar, and Science Club helped him to receive a National Merit Letter of Commendation and to become a member of National Honor Society. He has brought musical respect to Wirt through his fine performances with the Wirt High School Orchestra and the Gary Symphony Orchestra. A senior year which found Paul a member of a radio panel, a director of the Talent Show, and co-chairman of the Commencement and Baccalaureate Committee left him little time to review his mastery of his home organ or his highly polished cello or to finish building his harpsichord. Through determination, hard work, and endless hours of practice, Paul has left a fine high school record not only in this manuscript but in the annals of Wirt.

'r?‘W ?7 dy'uz {a zte Satire Tassels turned, class ring crests faced outward, and the twenty-fifth graduating class of 122 students brought to an end their high school days at Wirt School on June 4 at Memorial Auditorium. At this time, two seniors, Janice Fox and Richard Maize, shared the graduation spotlight as top academic scholars. Coming from Edgerton, Wisconsin, Janice Fox has made quite a name for herself in her five years at Wirt, not only as co-valedictorian, but also as an unusual and talented personality. Music in general and hymnology in particular form a favorite avocation which she uses to advantage while accompanying the Marquette Methodist Church Choir on both piano and organ and playing the organ at Methodist Hospital. Despite her activities as president of the sub-district Methodist Youth Fellowship and as president of the Wirt Science Club for two years, Janice still has time to spend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James E Fox of 721 North Wells Street, and her three sisters, Joyce, Jean, and Judy. During the summers, the Fox family goes to usual places in unusual ways. For example, last year they took an eighty-five mile hike along Lake Michigan. Receiver of a National Merit Letter of Commendation and a member of a National Honor Society for excellence in academic areas, this young lady also managed to achieve superior rating in all of Wirt's accelerated math, science, and English courses. With very serious thinking toward the future, Janice has been accepted at Northwestern University where she plans to study medicine and theology in hopes of becoming a medical missionary. The co-valedictory address fell to Marion, Indiana, born Righard Maize, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mize of 317 South Hancock Street, who, coming to Wirt in the seventh grade, was in the first graduating class at Nobel Elementary School. Rich is a modern jazz fiend who improvises his own melodies on the drums. Fictional novels are a favorite of his along with oil painting and pencil sketching. Rich has been an active member of the Science Club and last year held the imposing job of its program co-ordinator. Junior year merits for Rich came in the forms of selection for Joe Berg Advanced Mathematics Seminar Program for which he wrote an essay on architecture which was accepted for the National Essay Association Anthology, of membership in the National Honor Society, and of finalist ranking in the National Merit Scholarship Examination. Walks in Chicago offer Rich examples of buildings consisting of various architectural designs, and post-graduation plans include his studying this same architecture development at Colombia University.
