CHRISTIAN D. MELLON T. stoss P. GEDMAN Many years ago, in the fall of '37, to be exact, approximately 300 pupils started off to that mysterious place,-school. Some went gayly, others unwillingly, neither knowing what was in store for them. Oh, how well those first few days are remembered. Many were the struggles we, as young students, had. Our troubles seemed so great to us when we were so small. From first we went on to second grade. Nothing spectacular happened there but in third grade, joy of joys. we were permitted to use ink. Itnagine, real pens! Then to top this off, we third graders had the honor and privi- lege of taking examinations. NVhat else could we have asked for? Our world seemed com- plete. Fourth grade came and went. A little of the novelty of attending school had worn off. All recess periods were hopefully anticipated. How litany times we longed to be outaof-doors instead of doing lessons. One of the main events of our younger years was the annual trip to visit the dental hygienist, at the Sen- ior High School, no less. How grand and large the building seemed. Finally we passed to junior High. just how, we haven't figured out yet. But we made it. Something always seemed to be going on, there. There were the first gym classes and basket and football games for some. For the young ladies, home economics was introduced into the curriculum. If you close your eyes and exercise your imagination, the odor of burning biscuits may be recalled. And, as be- fitting our station in life, we had a school paper. Quite a few of our Echo staff cut their journalistic teeth on the junior Highlights. President Vice President Secretary Many from our class attended the social party of the year, the ninth grade prom. After those carefree days, we entered the sacred doors of the Sr. High School with the solemnity and new found dignity befitting sophomores. After losing our way several times, we got into the swing of things. XVe didn't even mind if the seniors thought us below them. Perhaps we were too happy to notice. That was the year most of us traveled to Philadelphia to see the P.I.A.L. finals. Then we became jtmiors. I'Ve knew just about everything there was to know. XVe sat in class out of the kindness of our hearts. Our social activities increased, or were we just be- coming popular? The class of '49. That is what we are. Our chests are swelled with pride: seniors, at last. School work doesn't take up all our time now. XVe've joined many clubs which weren't opened to tts previously. And how we love it! Our football team defeated McKeesport 29-0. A day off for that feat! IVe shall never forget that game. As soon as the pig-skins were stored away, out came the basketballs. Never a dull mo- ment. Naturally we followed all the games. Then track and baseball season rolled around. Spring has come and our school life will soon be over. Because of the wear and tear of our class, this dear old building has been repainted. A new organ is being purchased, also. WVhat more could our hearts desire? Now graduation day has come. The many happy hours spent in school are only pleasant recollections. May we keep them with us always.

ASIIIEII ilver Coins Amon The Goldw One of the most active groups in the Duquesne High School are the Cashiers who are under the supervision ol' Miss Ruth Meig- hen and Miss Eleanor Hrebenach. Every Tuesday morning these girls and boys put aside their school work in order to col- lect money deposited by the students into their School Savings Account. Besides the Tuesday morning banking the Cashiers collect money for subscriptions for the school paper and for the Echo yearbook. They are also kept busy collecting money for movies shown to the students by the Echo Staff. The cashiers receive a free subscription to the Echo and are invited to attend the Echo picnic as a reward for doing such splendid work. Congratulations are again given to Room 2l for perfect banking lor the entire school year. This year as in many previous years this room has again achieved one-hundred per- cent banking. YVithout the work of the cashiers the stu- dents would ll0t be able to deposit money for the future into their School Savings Account. 5 IIEBATEBS - ri film' T1 ., J ,f. 3 1 rf WSF y 71.1, I fyjy, 4 1 ' ' 'ti 'Yi 'l 5 4 is :A K ffIf ... l tll I . -. f P Who Threw the Overalls in M rs.

Robert Raaek, the president this past year, opened the meetings by leading the group in singing several German songs. At one meeting Miss fXntonol'l', our music instructor, led the singing. The life histories ol' the most prom- inent German poets were discussed. Several ol' the members read letters which they had re- ceived from their pen pals in Germany. These were all written in German and required a great deal of time to be translated. However they imparted lasting knowledge concerning the German rehabilitation, the character and personalities of the German people. The total enrollment for the club was twenty-four boys and girls.

Miss Martha Regester is the capable and well-liked adviser to the Council. In order to help Miss Regester in her tire- less efforts to aid the students, two represent- atives from each home room were chosen. These representatives met during the seventh period, the seniors met on Monday: the jun- iors, Tuesday: and the sophomores, XVednes- day. .-Xt home room programs arranged by the ,pr representatives answers to vocational and edu- cational problems were discussed. At the pro- grams seniors received information concerning available jobs, applications for colleges along with news of scholarships being offered. Room 24 was also a lending library where students could find the answers to their prob- lems in any of the many books that could be found there. XVe of the Echo Staff offer our most sincere congratulations to this club, the results of whose work can be observed by viewing the occupations of each year's graduating class.

S UIIE T CUUNCIL When You and I Were Youn , Maggiev Duquesne High School can well be proud ol one ol' its IIIUSI active and progressive organ- izations, tl1e Student Council. Although in existence only three years, this club has rend- ered many notable services in behalf of the school, as well as a regular court of human relations lor the students. The group's olliicers, which were elected at the close ol the ISHS school term 2ll'CI Elmer Schorr. president: Michael Sachko, vice presi- dent: Mary Elizabeth Stewart, secretary. and -Ioan Voivoda, treasurer. Mr. Clarence Green- way acted as the capable advisor for the or- ganilation. Our school was represented this year for the first time at a conference of the Pennsyl- vania Association of Student Government held at Altoona. The President and Vice President were selected to attend this meeting and spent three days at the conference. Upon their return they introduced the Hershey Plan-a method of conducting elections. This plan was successfully used in the election of sophomore ollicers and will be used in the future elections ol' class ollicers. Besides sponsoring most ol' the dances and taking lull charge ol' the senior reception, the members sold programs during football sea- son. and performed many other services they were called upon to render. A Student Handbook containing the con- stitution, a map of the school and other items ol' interest and importance was presented to each member ol' the sophomore class at the beginning of the year. It proved to be quite helpful to the sophomores, and, as a result, will be continued in the years to follow. Four record players were presented to the student body to be used in such classes as English, Languages and Science. Because of the interest of this organization in the welfare of the students, it is needless to say that the Student Council will continually progress if it has the co-operation and assis- tance of everyone concerned.

This organ- ization, under the capable direction of Mr. Henry has many duties to preform: among which are the prevention ol' snow-balling to and from school, the protection of under- classnien and smaller children from some ol' the older irresponsible high school pupils, the opening and closing of doors at dismissal, the patroling of the intersections near the school to prevent accidents. The Safety Squad boys are to be com- mended for the time they have given for this serviceable work. SERENADERS S X he'll Be Coming Round the Mountain An evening of enjoyable entertainment can always be expected when the Mellon's Seren- aders are the entertainers. This group under the capable direction of Mr. D. Duane Mellon has been a credit to Duquesne High School for seventeen years. They have played for Chapel exercises, banquets, occasionally on XVEDO. for civic affairs, and the one and only Mellon's Minstrel in which The lead the band contest is featured. The Serenaders had accomplished such a reputation for themselves that they had been asked to play for the Pit- cairn High School dance, which turned out to be a huge success. The vocal part of this fine organization is supplied by the Powers Sisters: Lovenia, Wfilletta, and Violet, who are known as The Melloettesf' Although new members have been added, there will be nine of the Serenaders graduat- ing. These include Goldie Denies, piano: Charlotte Bedont, clarinet: Rita Qlohnson, Gertrude Miklos, and Duane Mellon, jr., saxophones: Larry Henry and Albert Matuch, trombonesg Ronald Kish, violin: and Mary Sorick, drums.

BOY 9 IIIIBUS Sweet and Loww The Boys' Chorus, under the capable sup- ervision of Miss Marie Antonoff proved their worth this year by participating in both the Navy Day program in October and the Spring Festival. This group is the only large one that received one period a week for practice, all the others having two. The boys made good use of this one period, though, and therefore, they perfected several selections. The numbers that the boys rendered for the Navy Day Pro- gram were Sing Me a Chanteyn and Anchors Aweighf' Many of the boys had excellent voices, therefore, it was hard to choose one-voice to sing the solos in several songs. Richard Jones, a junior tenor, received the solo part in the I.ord's Prayer, one of the selections at the Spring Festival. The other selections sung by the group were Ol Man River by jerome Kern and ilwllill Shall YVe Do X'Vith the Drunken Sailor by Sigmund Spaeth. The accompanist for the Boys' Chorus was Goldie Denies.

Miss Marie Antonoff, the director of the chorus did a superb job in bringing out the harmony and the musical co-ordination of the group. Goldie Demes served as the ac- companist for the year. Besides taking part in the Spring Festival as all the other choral groups did, the Mixed Chorus also entertained the students on Linc- oln's Birthday, by offering Fred VVaring's arrangement of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, with Karl Kreutzer singing the baritone solo. This group also took part in the Christmas Program by singing three selec- tions, The Cherubim Song, Gloria in Ex- celsis-Deo, and Song of the Bells. ln january, the Chorus really started to work hard to perfect their renditions for the Spring Festival, which were: Song of Man, by Richard Kauntz and Victor Herbert Favorites. junior-Senior Girls' Chorus The Junior-Senior Girls' Chorus, under the capable direction of Miss Marie Antonoff consisted of fifty-five members, twenty-five of whom were seniors. The girls especially worked indefatigably on their Spring Festival music although they also spent time learning several pieces, which they, themselves wanted. This group can especially be commended for their enthusias- tic attempt for a goal which they most cer- tainly reached. The girls looked very becom- ing in their spring formals and the voices were blended like the colors of a rainbow. The girls had their practice sessions every XVednesday for two periods, either in the morning or in the afternoon, depending upon the alternating weeks. Their repertoire for the Spring Festival included the following selections: The Holy City by Stephen Adams, Under the Silver Stars by Harvey Xvorthington Loom, and Bless This House by May H. Brake. Daisy Nelson served as accompanist for the early part of the year, but due to her moving away, Iola Claggett became the pianist and capably filled the position with competence. Sophomore Girls' Chorus The Sophomore Girls' Chorus, always a well-balanced group, again lived up to this expectation by having a very harmonius or- ganization. This group consisted of fifty-five voices and was under the capable supervision of Miss Marie Antonoff. The accompanist for the year was Corrienne Dvorsky. Even though these girls were the so-called peeps of High School, we have to give them credit for their ambition and success on mak- ing a good showing at the Spring Festival, just as all the other musical groups did. The ren- ditions offered by these girls were The Kerry Dance by LI. L. Molley, Pine Tree Fairies by R. R. Foreman. Many of these girls were members of the Girls' Chorus and Mixed Chorus in junior High School and are now looking forward to participating in the choral groups next year offered only to the juniors and Seniors, such as the Mixed Chorus, Junior-Senior Girls, the Ensemble, and the Octette. We wish you girls success for your ambitions and endeavors in the next years. l I .1 51 li rl MUS Sing A ain That weet Re Tfllillw Pianists XVhen compliments and thanks lor hard work are extended. one cannot forget the pianists.

These students were under the direction ol' Miss Marie .XntonoI'l'. The Girls' Ensemble The Girls' linsemble under the direction ol' Miss Marie .Xnlonolli consisted ol' twelve senior girls.

Every- body turned out with their silly little hats and had a mighty good time. Entertainment, including parades, street dances and movies, was provided throughout the week for every- one, and the Kangaroo Kourt was in lull swing. It was a wonderful opportunity for those who had moved away to come back and renew old acquaintances and for the local group to get together, too. Certainly those who planned the affair were left with a deep feeling of satisfaction after all was over. for having accomplished something worthwhile for our fair city, in supplementing funds for our Public Library. 4 I COMlNG 'A Big Time In The Old Town W , t MAY DAY avr ,, N.

Coach Bill Lemmer managed to guide his proteges to victor ' y in eleven out of twenty-three starts. The team had only two semi-regulars left over from last year's quintet. They were Frank Nassida, speedy well-trimmed forward, who proved to be the king-pin of Duquesne's offen- sive attack, and Bill Branik, whose timely field goals many a time spelled the difference be- tween victory and defeat. Dave lNlaurer and Richie -Iones roamed at lorward positions, giving the fans plenty of BASKETBALL A Tisket - A - Tasket thrills with their sharp-shooting barrages. Then Frank Pacacha and jimmy Davis were upped from the reserves to positions on the varsity. Pacaeha, with his superb ball handlin S and Davis, under the boards, really boosted the caliber of the Little Dukes. Richard and Lucius Williams used their height to great advantage in stacking up points and controlling the backboards in crucial co n. tests. Coach Lemmer also displayed good re- serve strength in Bob U d Joe Bartko. r a, john Voivoda and Since all these Lennnermen, with the except- ion of Frank Nassida and Bill Branik, will be left after graduation, we all hope the Dukes have a better season in '49 and '50, 86 9 We ry 0 Make A Basket 5 x iz A All we-23 NSW SX? 1 P if 'fre' , f Q T T aff: it fi I .,l Af I 42.5 47 ' x ' .- ' Q ' V ' 7 -d ,-1 I If fYp,L.g.o! 7 ,, - if 12:52 - , ,ffj - . .LCV vxtfjv' ' I The Cheerleaders Seasorfs lleeord This vear's squad of cheerleaders consisted of six girls. 'l'hree were veterans from last year: Theresa Krotos. joan Voivoda. and Beatrice Perrick, and three were new to the squad: Cecelia Skalickv, Sophie Dubaich. and Dolores Novak. However. all cooperated as a group to create school enthusiasm ami spirit. At every football game, they led the fans to cheer and encouraged the team to fight. In the period between football and basketball sea- sons. the cheerleaders practiced daily in the gymnasium. They devised new cheers and evolved new motions and acrobatics to activate the old cheers. They taught the new cheers to the students in assembly, which became a highlight of the week. When basketball season began, the cheerleaders were prepared. and the cheering at every game was enthus- iastic. Radio announcers commented upon it. and hun- dreds of fans heard the mass cheering on their radios. 'l'he six cheerleaders traveled with the team to most of the away games, and they always helped the boys to maintain spirit, winning or losing. For their splendid work, fine sportsmanship, and school spirit. this year's cheerleaders shall long be remembered bv their classmates of Duquesne High. Duq.

SWIMMIN By The Sean Although the Duquesne High swimmers didn't get to participate in the final elimin- ations for the 1949 season they maintained a high record winning several XVPIAI. meets. These promising young champions are ably coached by Mr. John Crane with Ross Mc- Carty serving as captain and Denny Rinkaes as eo-captain. Ross McCarty is an outstand- ing swimmer in his own right. I-le set a new record lor the l50 yard backstroke in the A..-X.ll. and broke the twenty-one year record in the l00 yard free style time 54.3 seconds. John Lesko is the only graduating member of the team. There are several promising young nators remaining. Milan Stojakovich, the Hart brothers, XVilliam Vojnovich and james Booth are a few of the many. In the diving department Larry Dolan car- ried the laurels. However, Teddy Bodnar, and Eddie Slachta are two lads to watch. With all these wonderful prospects, the swimming team next year will probably be able to surpass this year's record.

Without the junior members of the teams, the record of D.H.S. would lt0t have been so impressive. Class officers were elected early in the year by the use of ballots. The entire junior class participated and those elected were: Dave Maurer ,, . President Donald Sudszina ,. . Vice President james Arnfield , ,....., Secretary Charles Daniels .. .. ., .. Treasurer Two different class rings appeared in local jewelry stores. These were generally thought to be a great improvement over the standard ring. The plan to form a joint committee to raise funds for an organ to be presented to the school was met with considerable opposi- tion at first. After much discussion and upon hearing an organ recital, the junior class decided to enter into this drive whole-heart- edly. Representatives from each junior and Senior home room were chosen and this was called the S..I.0.C. Now we look forward to one of l.ife's great experiences-our Senior year and Craduation. f? SOPll0Rl0IlES fContinued from page 45D The sophomore basketball team sported a fairly good average, winning and losing. For the first time the sophomore class elected officers: Melvin Ray, president, Patri- cia Banas, vice president, Lorraine Gurgas, secretary, and Richard Loncaric, treasurer. The positions were highly contested and a full scale campaign raged weeks before the voting took place. Two sophomore members of the Debate Club had the honor of debating in chapel. They were Martha Vockley and Ray Rex Henry. Also the members of the Sophomore Latin Club presented a play over the radio. All in all, the Sophomore class of '51 was one of the most well founded classes in the history of Duquesne High School. ...,....,Goldie Demes Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Pa ge Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Pa ge Page Page Page Page Page 4 8 9 9 13 40 43 45 50 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 65 65 65 66 66 66 68 69 69 70 70 71 71 72 74 77 82 84 86 87 87 88 90 94 Index of Articles Foreword ,..,. ....,......,.....,......
