With the graduation of the 1963 Senior Class, Wm. A. Wirt School marks its twenty-fifth anniversary. The completion of this school year recalls the success that the young people of Wirt have made in the school and in the Miller community. Even though Wirt is one of Gary's fastest growing public high schools and now has twenty-nine classrooms in addition to one of the city's most modern and well-equipped gymnasiums, plans for future development are still being made. An ultra-modern addition which includes a cafeteria, auxiliary gym, rooms for band, vocal music, art, crafts, typing, business education, science, and library, plus seven regular classrooms, office space, and new lobby additions is on the agenda for future construction. Like the individuals who attended Wirt in the early days, those of the present are constantly working for the progress of Wirt's student life. Their efforts have made possible new and advanced courses of study and a successful student government have organized victorious athletic teams, have furthered fellowship between the city's schools and pupils, and have kept alive long standing traditions. Our existence is a product of past goals and future purpose. Each school day opens new gateways for advancement of each of our 1147 personalities into the progressive and deserving young people of the world. Wirt alumni cannot just be content with their academic and social achievements, for on their shoulders is placed the responsibility of a country's existence. It is their responsibility as citizens to strive to succeed in a growing America with a future . . . like no other.
