Miss Pound has been on the faculty for 24 years, from 1923 to 1947. Although her teaching schedule has even been one that would keep anyone busy, Miss Pound has been very active sponsoring numerous clubs, among which were the Latin Club, Debate Team and the Philologists. Too, Miss Pound has traveled to a large extent and has been on the Virgilian Cruise and also l1as studied at the American Acad- emy of Rome. She is affiliated with the Classical Society of the American Academy in Rome, the Pennsylvania State Association of Classical Teachers, The Classical Association of Pittsburgh and vicinity, and The Delta Kappa Gamma. Miss Pound, we sincerely salute you as a scholar, and instructor, and a friend. X -lf 77 1 1' 5 ' sf? An Instructor ik A Scholar il?

Likewise the athletic honors have been of great lIllPOI'l2!IlfC. As the need for a more detailed home economic course arose plans were made that have materialized. Finally, the idea of a local vocational division has been de- veloped until it too is to become a reality. 8 e Maestros . . . and their Arrangers liI.FfXNOR HREBEN.-XCH ICRNIA HARVEY RECES KENNEY Nl R.

NVC all worked so hard for eleven years for the honor of becoming seniors. The class of '47 started school at the age of five or six, in 1936. We attended Kennedy, Crawford, Oliver, or Duquesne Place Schools and some of us went to Parochial Schools. How anxious we were to begin school, and once we were there, how eager we were to go home again. The first three years were quiet and uneventful, but the fourth year something wonderful happened. We changed classes. How welcome that little walk from class to class was. After the fourth and fifth grades we were promoted to Lebengood School. Our school days were now half over. Then came junior High School! At last we were grown up, or, so we thought. With Junior High came gym and swimming, foot- ball and basketball games, and assemblies. Ninth grade was won- derful. We were the oldest group in the school and everyone treat- ed us with respect. We looked forward to high school the next year. The crushing blow came when we found that no one re- spected the lowly little sophomores. We were the forgotten race. Tile picked up the next year because we became Juniors. Only one more year until graduation. The term of '46-'47 was quite eventful. Our football team won the Steel Valley Conference Trophy and our championship basketball team went to Phila- delphia where Allentown beat them by four points. The president of the Class of 1947 is Steven Schroderbek, vice president is Mlalter Bartko, Melvin Spada is Treasurer, and our Secretary is Betty Davis, who was also class secretary for the junior Class. The class play was You Can't Take It With You by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, given on the fourteenth and fif- teenth of May, with a special performance for the Veterans of Aspinwall Hospital on the twenty-first of May. The climax of the year was Commencement, held for the first time at the athletic field on the evening of May twenty-eighth. Lois Morgan and Shirley Stolpe 12 Ackerman, Shirley Anderson, J.

Beginning with this class a stanclarcl ring' will be usecl lor the next five years. The class ol I9-18 will also inherit the privilege ol' being exempt from the last semester examinations providing the members have an eighty-five average or better. Many members ol the junior Class participated in Mellon's Minstrelsf' Serena Sverbely lent, her talented voice lor that occasion. Due to the absence ol' -Ioan Farley, Audrey Carroll became a member ol the trio which sang with the Sera-naclers. The Debate Club which was formed this year was manned by several juniors, who clicl a splendid job. X'Vith last year's class graduating, all the major- ettes disappeared. Eight junior majorettes worked hard and faithfully lrom the lirst lootball game to the championship game at the Palestra. Besides participating in sports next year, we are sure that many ol' the Class ol' H148 will be ol'l'icers in the various clubs ol' the high school. ROOM 14 First row. left to rigl1t+Nacl znm.

Sophomore Jive The Sophomores this year, numbering 279, were given more opportunities to participate in school affairs than underclassmen of previous years. Some Sophomores became members of the Art Club, Echo Staff, Orchestra and Choral Organ- izations. The tenth graders dominated three ol the largest organizations, namely, the Latin Club, the Philologist Club and the Sophomore Girls' Chorus. Goldie Demes was pianist for Sophomore Chapel every 'l'hursday and was one ol the soloists presented during the year. In the field of sports, the outstanding sopho- more was Ray Vogt, who played on the football team. The Sophomore rooms elected individual room presidents, who were the class represen- tatives to the newly organized Student Council. Several Sophomores helped with the painting of scenery for the plays presented by the Dra- matic Club and two Sophomores performed in the Musical at Brentwood. Last fall the Sophomores were full ol' fears, amazed at the rapid pace, and worried about finding their way about the building. However, most everyone was able to take it all in his stride.

The staff constantly endeavored to improve the paper. A major accomplislnuent was the insertion ol' photographs and cartoons in several ol the monthly editions. The cost ol' publishing the Echo and the yearbook was ably lllet by the Business Stall headed by Alice Gonos. This stall' arranged movies, sold personalized stationery and for the second year operated the relresluuent stand at the football games. The stallis biggest job was the yearbook which required a great deal ol' hard work and concentration. Mr. Hasson's senior typing class is to be commended for assisting throughout the year in publishing the monthly issues. Two lnenlbers of our high school, Gloria Flister and Lucy Carrick brought honor to the Echo and to Duquesne High by having their articles published in the National Echo. 48 The ECHO Staff Eczno sTArr Mzmuging Editor .,,A .. ,AA,.,. ,, .,,.,.. .. ,. , ELEANOR KUSHNIR Business INIanugcr ,.., ,,.. , ,.,., . ,... . ., ALICE GONOS Assistant Business INIai1:1gcr. ., ., . .BURTON BENOVITZ Secretary .,.. .. . ..,......,.,.,,,., , .,,,...... .,,.,. ..,. .

Harmony and Color Although the youngest elub in Duquesne High, the Debate Club has made mueh progress by winning six debates out of the len that were staged and by tieing one. The thirteen members of this Club have worked very studiously on the pro and eon of this year's question--Resolved: That the Federal Government should provide a system ol complete medical care available to all Citizens at public expense. Debates were held with Pitcairn, Brentwood and McKeesport High Schools. On March 1, lour of the debaters had the opportunity of presenting their arguments over station YVEDO in lNIeKeesport. They were, Affirmative: Earl Benovitz and Richard Holan. Negative: Gloria Village and Deanne Miller. On April 7, a debate was presented to members of the Duquesne Lions Club. The debaters used the Oregon style which consisted ol eight to ten minutes constructive speeches, live minute periods for cross-examination by one member of each side and five minute rebuttal speeches by the other member ol' the team. The Debate Club has been directed by Miss Laura G. Pound. President ..........,. .. . HIJIEANNPI MILLIER Vice President .. ,. . , ...,.... RAY KOCI-IIS Secretary .. ...... . . ..

Every Tuesday morning they were on the job, ready to assist those who were putting their money in school savings. However, aside lrom the regular Tuesday morning banking, they were kept busy, collecting money lor the movies which were shown to the student body during the year. A few ol the movies shown were l.il'eboat, Grapes ol' XVratli,', Rose ol Xllashing- ton Square and Junior Miss. :Ks an award lior collecting this money tl1e cashiers were admitted lree. Another job the cashiers had was the selling ol Echo subscrip- tions lor the year and the selling ol' single copies ol' the National Echo, a paper which is a composite ol' articles taken lrom school papers from every part ol' the United States. The yearbook this year was as usual sold by the cashiers. Because ol' the excellent work lor the school paper, the cashiers each year are invited to the Echo picnic, a pleasure to which they look forward. The senior cashiers for the lirst time, had the task ol' selling name cards to their classmates. Their reward was the receipt ol' their namecards free of charge. Clongratulations are in order again this year to Room 2l lor attaining a perfect banking record lor the entire year. For a long time it has been the practice ol' this room to attain and keep a perlect yearly record. The head cashier this year was Mary Lucille Morgan, a mem- ber ol the senior class.

Pound, a very capable and willing sponsor, the Circulus Latinus, which was organized in 1923, has become one of the most interesting extra-curricular clubs in Duquesne High School. The purpose of the organization has been to create a more widespread interest in Latin. Meetings were held at call. The members presented plays, dis- cussions and debates concerning Greek mythology and Roman history. The National Latin XVeek Prograin had many activities scheduled in which the Circulus Latinus took part. The Circulus Latinus members and the other Latin Students were greatly pleased to see the Sky Show and their own projects on display, at the Planitarium. In 1945, the Circulus Latinus dramatized the playlet Alcestis and Admetus twice at the Buhl Planitarium. The same year the organization attended the drama The Trojan W'omen at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Other trips have been made to the Carnegie lyluseum and to the Stephen Foster Memorial Hall. The Circulus Latinus members presented some programs to which Le Circle Francais, the Art Club, and other students were invited. The officers for this year were: Raymond Kochis, Senior Con- sul: Paul Loya, .junior Consulg and Elsie Broadfield, Scriha. First row, left to right 1 Loya Dougherty, Ignat, Broadfield. Andre Demes.

The Word Hunters The organization ol' the Philologists which is proud to have Miss Laura G. Pound, as its adviser, has proved to be one ol' the IIIOSI interesting and educational clubs in our High School. The original name was Nurses' Club since the club members were girls wishing to make nursing their career. However, the title was changed to Philologists which means ones who love words, and boys, also took interest, in the organization. joan Swanson, Patricia Zewe, and Goldie Demes had the positions of President, Vice President, and Secretary, respectively. The meetings took place each week on Tuesday afternoon at lour o'clocl4. XVord study was one ol' the most important features ol. each meeting. The words given were divided into three main parts-H prelix, stem, sullix-and the meaning ol each part was lound. The literal meaning ol the word was then determined by adding the sections together. Medical abbreviations were expanded into the Latin to obtain the meanings. Since the knowledge ol' Greek is also needed, the members have learned important Greek prefixes, stems, and sullixes. Many ol' the Iormer members ol this club are now training in hospitals. These hoys and girls are preparing themselves to he our future doctors and nurses. :piggy l947'ECll0 iss is 53 ramatlc Club First row. left to right-G. White. Brings, Schorr, Bedont. Koller.

The Play9s the Thing This year's Dramatic Club under the capable direction of Miss Marian Wliite provided the students of Duquesne High with some very interesting and enjoyable entertainment. It can never be said that the Dramatic Club lacked talent. They had every kind of talent from the graceful dancing ol Florence Pcolinsky to the side-splitting humor of Rail Roh0ly. On the Dramatic Club's program was the Armistice Day pera formance, the Christmas play entitled The Queen's Christmas which starred Pat Points, Eleanor Kushnir, Dale Klemans, Vir- ginia Chuto, Burton Benovitz, Henry Ebertshauser, Marty Mc- Grail, Florence Pcolinsky, Robert Roholy, Dawn Brings, Alina Schorr, Francis Koller and a score of other students. Among the other outstanding performances was the Quiz Pro- gram on the lives of Washington and Lincoln. Last but not least came the event which all looked forward tog The Senior Class Play entitled You Can't Take It VVith You. Hard work and countless practices made it the great success that it was. The cast included Eleanore Kushnir, Henry Ebertshauscr, Pat Points, Marty McGrail, Florence Pcolinsky, Dale Klemans, Marcella Kotvas, Charles Trainor, Robert Roholy, Oscar Nissen, Myrtle XVood, Booker Hill, Burton Benovitl, Annie Bunda, Ted Kocak and -Ioseph Palchak. To bring the year's activities to a grand finale, the cast went to Aspinwall where it repeated its last and best performance. we 1947 ECIIO was 54 French lub First row. left to right-Roman. Bunda.

She is the French teacher and the supervisor of the French Club. One of the aims of Le Cercle Francais is to help its members become adept in the use of conversational French. For this reason the meetings were carried on entirely in French unless permission to speak in English was granted by the president. Another aim ol' the Club was to acquaint the members with the history and culture of the French people and their nation. To do this, five interesting and enjoyable meetings were held this year. At these meetings the lives and works ol' famous French poets and artists were discussed. Several members talked about the various French provinces, their peoples and their customs. Games were played and at the November meeting a song quiz was held. The entire assembly sang popular French lolk songs with the help ol' the musical director, Florence Pcolinsky. Each meeting was planned by the Program Committee com- posed ol' the four officers-Helen Roman, Presidentg David Kara- novich, Vice-Presidentg Ann Bunda, Secretary: Jeannine Sum- merly, Treasurer-Florence Pcolinsky and Eleanor Kushnir. This Committee was assisted by the Membership Committee composed of Anita Powers and Raymond Kochis and the Publicity Com- mittee composed of Mary Louise Bedont, Ann Bunda, Burton Benovitz, and David Karanovich. At the final meeting in May, all the members agreed that their Club associations would be long remembered. iigsfgik I947 ECIIO gil? 55 erman lub Unser Deutscher Verein Unser Deutscher Verein, which means Our German Club, is one of the youngest organizations in the High School. It is now in its third year ol' existence under the capable direction of Miss Esther Forrest. Officers elected at the beginning of the second semester were: President, Oscar Nissen, and Secretary, Ethel Clhorman. Several meetings were held to learn and sing German songs with Norma -lean Brown as director and Florence Hartos as pianist. At other meetings, several ol' the members took part in presenting a mystery skit, questions on German operas, the life ol' X'Vagner, and presentation ol' German stories on records. Cer- man is spoken at the meetings. The highlight ol' the year was the presentation of the opera, Die Meistersingern by VVagner, on records. Lectures on pictur' esque sights and cities in Germany, pictures ol' ancient castles, old cities, and statues were also given by Miss Forrest. The lile histories ol' Albrecht Durer and Holbein, the Younger, were discussed, and copies of pictures painted by them were shown to the members. The club met on Monday afternoons in Room through the courtesy ol Miss XVitherson. ,X total ol' thirty boys and girls at- tended these meetings. First row, left to right-Schumann Sharpe.

During the past year the orchestra perliortned for the Anterican Legion Artnistice Day Services, the Christtnas Play, the Senior Class Play and the Class Night exercises. On March 21. 22, 23, the Pettttsylvattia School ol' Music Asso- ciation held its festival in Brentwood.

M'itherson is composed of eighty-nine members, thirty-eight of whom are seniors. The girls have been preparing all year to fulfill the aim and ambition of all our music groups, that being a good showing in the annual Spring Festival. Certainly the goal has been reached. This program of choral music was presented in the Senior High School Auditorium on Wednesday night, April twenty-fourth. For the second time in the history of these Spring Programs, the Jun- ior and Senior Girls wore formal gowns, making their appearance truly complete both to ear and eye. The repertoire included the following selections: O Sing Your Songs . ,..... Cain Spanish Gardens ......,.,....,.......,,.,,.........,.. ..... H aupt .....,,Coward I'll See You Again QFrom Bittersweetj. The accompanist for the year was -Ioan Danko, a Junior pianist. From this group, Miss Witherson chose the twelve members ol' the Girls Ensemble: Eleanor Kuslmir, -lean Lengyel, Serena Svirbely, Audrey Caroll, Thelma Bickus, Rita Benedict, Peggy Richards, Dolores Henry, Florence VVargo, hleannine Sunnnerly, Lucy Carrick and Maxine Shaw. The Ensemble sang for the Spring Festival and entertained several times in junior-Senior Chapel. The accompanist for this group was Florence Hartos. 58 dich, Summerly, Salopek, Dawson: Mlxe horns Blended Voices The Mixed Chorus, under the capable direction ol' Miss Wlith- erson and accompanied by Florence Hartos consists of seventy- seven members. Forty-seven of these are seniors from whom the members of the mixed octette were chosen. There were also several senior girls chosen to participate in the Girls Ensemble. The chorus appeared in an Armistice Day Program which was well received in the spirit of that commemorable day. Some of the numbers used were My Own America by Cain, There ls No Death by O'Hara, Carry Me Home to the Lone Prairie by Guion and several songs of the War Periods. The students also enjoyed a Christmas Program which in- cluded Oh Night Peaceful and Blest by Carol with Maxine Shaw as the soloist. The members of the chorus worked very hard during the school year trying to attain their goal-the chance to feel they had really accomplished something. Their chance carrie with the annual Spring Festival. The chorus sang Gloria in Excelsis Deo by Mozart, One lVorld by O'Hara-Bretton, the solo part of which was beautifully sung by james Edwards. The Italian Street Song by Herbert with Alice Morrow as the vocalist and My God and I by Sergei. The song which made many a person in the audience turn the pages of his memory back some thirty odd years ago to Duquesne's Silver jubilee. This song was Duquesne written especially in honor of Duquesne's Silver -jubilee. lt was written by Charles Wakefield Cadman, a former resident ol' Duquesne. Some of the seniors had the pleasure of singing in several dil- ferent district choruses and Francis Koller was chosen to sing in the State Chorus. Yes, the Mixed Chorus attained their goal.

This year's Sophomore Girls' Chorus was a well-balanced group of more than seventy-five voices under the capable direction ol Miss XVitherson. Of this number many were from last year's -lun- ior High choruses. The main performance of the year was the annual Spring Festival at which the chorus sang three songs. They were The G0slings, and Sanctus from The Twelfth Mass by Mozart. .Ioan Dougherty, a soprano, sang the solo part for the latter song. Other numbers in the year's repertoire were Jeanette In Her Garden by Brahms, Dance of the Pine Tree Fairies by For- man, Pale Moon by Logan, Awake, 'Tis Spring by Elliot, and Orchestra Song by Longan. The latter song was their unique selection for the year since the voices blended together to give the sound of a symphonic orchestra. The accompanist for the chorus was Goldie Denies. The girls were glad to welcome back Norma Gancyak, who attended an academy in Oklahoma for part of this year. None of these girls have had an opportunity to attend any ol' the special choruses held in other towns such as ones at Clair- ton and Pittsburgh, but they are looking forward to doing so next year. Also they are contemplating joining the special groups open only to .luniors and Seniors. Next year will lind a new group of Sophomores to start their musical training in High School thus releasing this year's group to go further on with their training. 61 ance Committee First row. left to right - Lesko Lengel.

Marie Rathi, ol' Room was elected president of the committee. The dance committee was very active this year, having quite a lew recording dances which were held on Friday evenings. Ainong the main events ol' the year were the Halloween Dance and the Christmas Dance with the music ol the Blue Notes. A victory dance was held in honor ol' the members of the basketball team. Each player and his girl was admitted free of charge. Music was lurnished by the Mellon Serenaders. All the dances were well attended and well enjoyed. By lar the biggest and most popular dance of the year was the Senior prom. lt was held in the high school gymnasium where Clyde Knight and his orchestra lurnished the music. The members ol' the dance committee are to be commended for the line .job they did to provide entertainment lor the students. May we take this opportunity to offer them our sincere thanks. 62 Mellon Seren aders First row, left to right-Vernon. Farley. Flister. Carrick. Miller, Bedonr. Demes. Adamitis. Johnson.

Mellon. lVhen a voluntary group under a Capable leader gets together to make good music, it usually succeeds. The Mellon's Serenaders are no exception. Organized by Mr. D. Duane Mellon fifteen years ago, this group practiced hard and played much to the satisfaetion of their listeners. This year the Serenaders met forty times, including rehearsals, and performances. They played for Sophomore and Senior-Junior ehapel, for the football and basketball banquets, for Mellon's Minstrel, the Victory Dance, the Boy Scout Court of Honor, the farewell banquet for Reverend Crawford, and over the YVEDO High School program. Vocals are handled by the Mello-ettes, Audrey Carroll, Lucy Carrifk, and Gloria Flister, and by Jack lVabrick, who also plays the bass fiddle. This year there were thirty members in the Serenaders New- comers in the group are Bob lVesterlund, drummer: Charlotte lit-dont and Beverly Mellon, elarinetists: Albert Liszka and George Sloss, trumpeters: .loseph Rago, bass horn, and Goldie Demes, assistant pianist. Unfortunately for the Serenaders, Deanne Miller, Ronald lfllis- bar, Alaek llfabriek and George Sloss will graduate this year, tale ing their talents with them. However, we feel sure that Mr, Mellon will find talent among the high school students. 63 and The Duquesne High School Band under the capable direction ol' Mr. Carl Thalheimer, and the drum major and majorettes under the direction of Mr. Ted Lamb, ol' Mclieesport expertly played and performed at all the football games, including the games away at Mckeesport and Clairton. During the football season, the band spent many hours in the afternoon and evenings practicing their drills at Duquesne Play- ground or at our school's athletic field in Duquesne Place. These drills were performed between halves at football games. On November ll, Armistice Day, the Duquesne High Band paraded in Mclieesport, accompanied by Mr. Ted Lamb and Mr. Mellon accompanied the band at all games, exhibitions and parades. On March 29, Duquesne High Band made a wonderful appear- ance at the'Palestra in Philadelphia. Un April 17, the full band appeared at the Spring Music Festival at Duquesne High Audi- torium. The music, so well played, and the drills so expertly performed was learned by each individual in the band. These players often practiced on their own time in order to perfect the music and drills. XVe commend you, all members of the Duquesne High Band, for your successful performance all during the year. First row. left to right-M. Sachko Lawrie. R. Henry. March. Gilman Carrick, Bedont. R.

These boys were excused ten minutes before dismissal each day. Their most important duty was that of opening the doors of the building and guarding them at dismissal until the last pupils were out. They also made sure that the pupils walked in the proper direction after leaving the building. In rain or shine they were always on the job. The office workers were a group ol live senior girls under the supervision ol' Miss Hrebenach. These girls had various duties in and around the office. One of the most important of these was the making out and distributing of absentee lists. They also de- livered messages, ctr. to the teachers.

They are divided into eight groups-architecture, design, poster, illustra- tion, animal, fashion, portrait, and sign-each group participating in its respective project. Advertisement ol lNIellon's lXIinstrel, the Spring Festival, and the Class Play was due to the diligent work ol the Sign Club. They designed and painted posters which were displayed in drug stores and other establishments, in which the public would be sure to notice them. Several of the art students were enough interested and talented to attend the art classes at Carnegie Institute ol' Technology and the Pittsburgh Art Institute. Some had been registered lor their second and third years. The beautiful scenery for the Christmas Play and the Class Play was also done by our up-and-coming young artists. ln November Miss Wlright, with the aid of Miss Brings, took the Art Club in to the Carnegie Museum to see the art exhibit. Enough students went to com- pletely lill two large buses. The design lor the standard graduation ring was left up to the Art Club. From suggestions submitted by its members, Charles Lesko and Albert Cresco devised the ring which was accepted by the student body. All in all, the Art Club is to be congratulated for their indefatigable work under the admirable supervision ol Miss Cora XVright. sen, Hill. Palchak, Kocalc.

It's the Vocational Guidance Committee. An who is the director of the Vocational Guidance Committee? Ol' course you kno' her. She's the pleasant, always smiling, little lady who can always help you wit your 1-IOIH problems. '1'hat's right, her name is Miss Regester. But, as Santa Claus must have elves to help him in the rush season, so Mi: Regester needed elves to help her carry out programs on personality and jo hunting. '1'here were two elves or representatives from each ol the Senior room These elves or representatives carried out in the respective rooms interesting prt grams which were enjoyed by everyone. -lack Frost had nothing on the members ol' this committee. During Carec YVeek which was from March 211 to 28, some ol' our artists, Theodore Sabolcil lohn lfigel, Mary Louise Bedont, Charles Mingo. Mary Samundosky, and Alm Schorr made beautiful posters concerning the dillerent occupations.

Oi course, th Seniors of next year will be busy with their own ,iob problems but Miss Regestt still wishes to invite her young friends to come to her with their employmer problems even alter graduation to let her know when they have obtained position. ggfffxgy 1947 EUIIO sfysfkixga 69 E X is M. 43? h 3+ fgfg, wa i , :g f Q -- ga if ' , v my me -A i ' ' Z., i n '?i':52,,1 , k A A -.vY :,, lg' X g it ., .v,. .QW , ' . ,:-1 ' ' ki x K- .hQ N Q . :fMWF'mwwX H D A 4 . fixigv. 33 mgggp5g3s'ff1 W H E. 4 F is ,X 1 if XS: ig ,A 3 mi W - egg E wxyw A f 5 5 A V V?

The team of lil-17 was claimed by Coach Donelli to be one of the lightest and best in his experience in Duquesne. The Sullivan Trophy was awarded the team for the third year in succession, and the fourth time in the history of the school for being the District Champs. The team also won the Steel Valley Conference trophy by defeating Mc- Keesport. Clairton, Munhall, Scott, and Brad- dock. The Red and Wfhite Dukes had eight out of its ten-game schedule, losing only to Kiski Prep and Coal-mining Redstone in thrilling games. The defeat to Redstone ruined their hopes for the XV.P.l.A.L. football crown. The rugged wall of the team consisted of Co-captains Albie Ragan and Bob Timko, who held down the terminal posts. Bob Harclerode began the season as tackle, but the persever- ance of Andy X'Vashington enabled him to take over while aloe Palchak held the other tackle. .lack Valiquette and .loc Lenhart played the guard position with Eddie YVasko playing center. ln the backfield were Steve Schroderbek calling the signals for Dick Turocy and Don Goltz alternating with Ray Vogt to run off- tackle or around end or .lim Fulmer to plunge for needed yardage. Ray Vogt and Andy Xvashington will be the only regulars to return for action next year. The squad was honored with gold footballs and banquets by several clubs and organiza- tions of Duquesne. SPECIAL FOOTBALL HONGRS jack Valiquette received the highest honors of the team. .lack was also named on the all Vilestern Pennsylvania Inter-Scholastic Ath- letic League, honorable mention on the All- State Inter-Scholastic Team, and first on the All-District Team. Donald Goltz was selected halfback, Andrew Xtlashington was tackle and Albie Ragan was end on the All-District Team. Honorable mention on the All--District Team went to Ed XfVasko, centerg -loe Lenhart, guard: Bob Timko, endg Steve Schroderbek, .lim lfuhner, and Dick Turocy, backs.

Swirbul, Mr. Lemmer, The Coaches The coaches ol Duquesne High School have brought the sports to a glorious finish with the school coming as close as ever to the HIP. I.A.L. football championship. Mr. Donelli and Mr. Parker, head and assistant coaches, drilled the boys to near perfection. Our boys won the Steel Valley champion- ship, its first year in existence. They went along victoriously to defeat lN'Iunhall, Scott, Mclieesport, and tllairton to take the title. Our only losses came with Kiski and Red- stone, with Kiski being out of our class. Mr. Swirbul led the -Iunior High School Squad on to the XV.P.I.A.I.. championship also. Mr. Radvansky, in his first year at Duquesne as Junior High basketball coach led his play- ers on to win tl1e -lunior High basketball XfV.P.I.A.L. title. Mr. Crane's tankers did some nice swim- ming, although they did not win any meets. George Davis and Eli Vojnovich excelled each in his own type of swimming. Mr. Kowallis headed the athletic board and did a good job of booking games for the teams. He also did the best he could to please every- one when handing out tickets. Mr. Parker also coached the baseball team, which had a very interesting season. ikikilv I9-17 EUIIO ilvilvik LI etfs Sin ur Praises Seas0n's Record 012110111 nt IJTIIIHFSIH' Donora 30 42 .Xway Cll2'lI'lCl'0l 27 Bti Home Stott 28 52 Away .Xliquippa 51 30 Away Butler 21 35 Home Scott 34 -lil Home Nlunhall I9 3-l .Xway Washington 29 -47 .Xwav Baldwin 22 56 Home Brentwood 324 5'i Homt' F.Ic'Kecsport -ll F37 Vocational Court llonora -ll -Hi Home lriuitv 27 38 Home Wilkinsburg 38 -18 Away Homestead 25 ill Away Munhall 37 42 Home Washington 37 47 Home Baldwin 30 50 Away Brentwood 33 59 Away Nlc'Keesport 39 52 Home Trinity fll '17 Away Homestead -tl 46 Pitt Stadium Homestead 39 34 Duquesne Gardens llniontown 23 47 Pitt Stadium Wilkinslmurg 38 45 l'itt Stadium .Xliquippa 34 41 l'itt Stadium Somerset 22 tix?

Sea nn Ends in Blaze of Glory This year has been a very successful one in basketball for Duquesne. The result of the Duquesne-Allentown game proved fatal to our hopes of being State Champs. Over 3000 fans from Duquesne and vicinity were present at the tilt. Allentown's juggernaut van- quished the gallant Dukes 46-42. Sportswriters all over Pennsylvania stated that this was one of the best games ever played at the Palestra in Philadelphia. Due to the condemnation of our gymnasium the team was compelled to play on a neighboring floor. We express our thanks for the generosity of Homestead High. Duquesne's magnificent floor play brought them through many a tight squeeze. The spark plug of this great machine was Andy Budinak a 6 ft. l inch center. His outstanding passing and board work gave him the title of the best basketball player of the year. His clear thinking and actions under pressure proved most valuable. The two forwards were Bob Timko and Donald Goltz. Timko, a lad whose spirit could never be broken, started the season in a bad way. But by the time the league games were under way, he was in tip top shape. His one-hand-push shots from the right side of the court thrilled the Duke fans constantly. Goltz, the other forward, was the morale booster of the team. He always had a smile for someone. His speed and accurate shooting made him a threat to any quintet. About the middle of the season he sprained his ankle which handicapped him the rest of the season. Probably Ducky's best game was against Wilkinsburg. Now, but not least, the two guards, George Pesty Hromanik and big jim Fulmer. Pesty made his debut in tenth grade and kept his standard of being a good ball player all through high school. His accurate shooting at the foul line won many a close game. Pesty's two-handed set shots thrilled the crowd time and time again. jim Fulmer, the other guard was the coolest player on the team. He was good on rebounding and excellent on his long push shots. jim played his best games in the W.P.I.A.L. and P.I.A.A. playoffs. Andrew Washington broke into the lineup many times for Don Goltz. His height enabled him to control rebounds off both banking boards. Dicky Turocy and Frank Nassida broke into the lineups at the end of the season. Donora was Duquesne's first opponent to fall by the wayside. Charleroi and Scott were the next two victims of this powerful force. Aliquippa gave Duquesne one of its worst walloping, 51-30, which the Dukes never forgot, and which proved fatal to Aliquippa later on. This defeat only gave the Lettermen more spirit to conquer Butler, Scott, Mun- hall, Washington, Baldwin and Brentwood until they lost to McKeesport 41-37 on the Vocational floor. This was the Dukes' second loss of the year. Donora, Trinity and Wil- kinsburg were clipped in turn. The mighty Dukes then defeated Homestead 31-25. This was one of the best games of the year, due to the fact that it was the home floor for both opponents. Munhall proved stiff opposition but couldn't stop the superior shooting and passing of the Lettermen. Washington, Baldwin, and Brentwood gave Duquesne no trouble. Then came Mclieesport, hoping to conquer the Dukes once more, but was nosed out 59-39. Trinity hit a stone wall. Duquesne occupying a one game lead over Homestead was beaten at the Duquesne Garden 39-34 to deadlock the race. Consequently a playoff game was essential. At the Pitt Stadium Duquesne won the right to wear the Section VI Crown defeating Homestead and entered the W.P.I.A.L. competition. The Dukes proved too hot for Uniontown to handle in the first playoff at the Pitt Stadium. Wilkinsburg soon followed. Although being overpowered by Aliquippa at the beginning of the season Duquesne turned the tide and avenged their defeat. This gave the victors the W.I'.I.A.L. crown and a position in the P.I.A.A. finals. Somerset and Westmont proved little opposition. Bradford gave a tough battle, being fast and tricky, but couldn't match the superior shooting eye of the opposition. The Dukes were now Philadelphia bound for the State Championship. The game started in a big way with the Dukes keeping the score at a very close margin. During the last half of the tilt Allentown's quint began pulling away, which ended up with Allentown being Champs. With a little more luck at the foul line and better officiating our boys would have upset the applecart. This game has been discussed many times as to the rightful outcome. Congratulations to the team, We hope 48 is on the beam. 81 The Champs . . .

George Davis stole the limelight by establishing the time of 2219.2 for a new distance of 200 yards. Another first place was that of Eli Vojnovich placing first in the 100 yards event and second in 40 yard free style. These two swimmers alone earned 13 points: enough to place second against Clairton, Connellsville, Butler, ohns town and Coraopolis. Next year, perhaps Duquesne will have one of the best in District VII Prom ising candidates include Eli and William Vojnovich and Ross McCarty. So look next year in the winners column for the Tankers from Duquesne. Baseball For the second season Mr. Davis L. Parker coached the Duquesne nine The Parkermen were Denne, Schoderbek, Danko, Sharpe, Toth and Foremsky as hurlers, with jimmy Zewe completing the battery at catch. The infield con sisted of Bartko at first, Yanichko at second, Fulmer at short, and Timko at third The fly-chasers were Pacacha and Lenhart in right, Goltz in center, and Hrom anik in left field.

Lebanon at Duquesne Duquesne at Munhall Munhall at Duquesne Homestead at Duquesne Duquesne at Homestead McKeesport at Duquesne Duquesne at McKeesport Track One of the best track teams which Duquesne ever had came up this year under the fine coaching of Mr. john Donelli. The team was composed mostly of juniors and sophomores, who ran up the score in all events only to fall short of points due to the absence of hurdlers Barnyak, Vogt, Palatas and Daniels who made up the relay team were all fast dash men. Increased strength in field events came from Norman Rasp, the Braniks Eddie Kapolka, G. Williams, Terick, Balog, Gedman, Zahorchak, Flamgan Giles, Connely, Furlong, Sloss, Hlad, Washington, Byrd, R. Daniels. With most of the team back next year it is certain that the team will gain recognition. Golf The Duquesne Golf Team was coached again by the able Mr. Lemmer but with not much success, winning one out of five meets with one being cancelled because of bad weather. The team was composed of Ed Milko, Ed Gross Ed Burta, joseph Topolyn, and Bud Shore. The only victory was over McKeesport fly, to 25. Three contests were held at the Duquesne Golf Course. Other meets were with Mt. Lebanon and Munhall. 85 Left to right -- Kahler, Holan, Bnckus, Gonos.

Their well-practiced routines and sharply-defined formations gave the finishing touches to every band perform- ance. They were real troopers and carried on in all kinds of weather, no matter how dis- agreeable it was. They are all -Iuniors, so we may look for- ward to seeing them next year. Congratulations to the majorettes on their line perlormxmce, and particularly to Mr. Lamb, without whom they would never have been able to 2lC'l'0lllI7llSl1 such success. Cheerleader The cheerleaders, six of whom are grad- uating this year, have been active for two years, rain or shine, during football and bas- ketball seasons. Those who are graduating are Rita Benedict, Thelma Bickus, Alice Gonos, Rosella jugan, Norma Kessler and Pat Points. Two of this year's cheerleaders, Richard Holan and David Kahler, are left to help the new cheerleaders, selected this year for the first time by the student council. The cheerleaders are to be greatly commended for their fine performances at every game to which they were able to get transportation. The final appearance of the cheerleaders was at the Palestra in Philadelphia. The cheer- leaders of '47 extend to the cheerleaders of '48 the wish that they, too, may have the thrill of appearing at the Palestra, this time helping the team to bring the state championship back to Duquesne.
