To our glorious championship team, we dedicate these Memoirs of “23”. And as Memoirs should, we begin with their first appearance on any floor. Even thus early, you will perceive, they manifest certain characteristics which helped land the W. P. I. A. L. Championship. Note the expression of grim determination on Neen’s face, the wild, dashingjesseJames effect of Bill Parry With warmest ex- pressions of admiration and affection, we, the class of “23” lay this tribute at their feet.

Page twenty-fire Page twenty-six CLASS OF 23 Four years ago we entered— The greenest of the green. The faculty discovered that ‘We were heard as well as seen. From our class the athletes sprung, Who played the thrilling game Of basketball—to Homestead gave, Her great athletic fame. But our school days now are over, Our books they took away We received hard earned diplomas And were sent along life’s way. When Fix called in our chem books, We were happier than larks, When our Trigs Miss Haupt collected, We no longer toed her mark. When Miss Ankrom said, “Hand in your books,” We grinned so cheerfully, Erased all marks—took out all notes— Acted most dutifully! So our day we’ve spent at study Our evenings of’t at Fun. And each and every Senior, Has nothing left undone. nd after having read these words, Dear Reader—try to see, If you can find a peppier class, Than the Class of ’23? ’ ANN KOVAL, '23. Page twenty-seven CLASS HISTORY Had you been around the Homestead High School the morning of the first day of school in the fall of 1919, you would have been surprised at the great number of intelligent and manly looking boys and pretty and equally intelligent looking girls who swarmed around like bees. ’Twas we, the class of 23. Upon entering, we were heartily welcomed by the faculty, who took us under their wing as it were and have kept us there ever since. Yes! They liked us so well that they planned us a glorious surprise party hoping that we would come with added dignity in the form of dress, but not we! Instead, we ar- rived on kiddy-cars, with lolly-pops and dogs and dressed in clothes that were resurrected from the family trunks! We did not organize in our Freshman year, but spent it profitably, learning the tricks of Algebra and the existence of Rill Shakespeare. So, having accum- ulated great knowledge, we closed our Freshmen year. We came back—Sophomores. This new dignity led us to great aspirations and we soon elected class officers who were to be mates on our second voyage. Paul O’Neil was elected president, Jane Barton, Vice president and Margaret Myers, secretary. Together with the co-operation of the entire class, we had one of the best classes ever organized. We figured prominently in the school social work by giving the Sophomore Ilallow’een Party. It was such a huge success, that Hallow’een has since then been given to Sophs as the night when they can play all the childish pranks they desire. In the athletic field we were well represented by Paul O’Neil, Matthew Cook and Ray. Diaz. Another important social event in our history was the Sophomore St. Patrick’s Party. The faculty were there enmasse and you know that it must have been a good party if the faculty all had a fine time (so they said). On Moving Up Day we brought before the High School our dramatic possi- bilities and were promptly awarded the first prize for the best stunt. Having completed a full and happy year, we again disbanded. With the rolling around of our Junior year, we became really serious and deckled that we were too talented a class not to receive recognition. With this in mind we elected an able cabinet, Darrell Martin, President, Joe Campbell, Vice president and Margaret Ackerman, secretary, Pudge O’Neil, treasurer. Page twenty-eight We captured the inter-class championship for the soccer league. Joe Camp- bell, our vice-president, played such wonderful basketball that he was listed as the W. P. I. A. L. all-scholastic center. As Juniors we gave the Seniors a regular “Prom”. Held at the Masonic Temple, and attended by both Juniors, Seniors and all the 1'acuity. It was a social event that will long be remembered by the entire school. Our Moving Up Day Program under the able guidance of Miss helix and and Mrs. Simpson was a huge success and ended a successful and exciting year. Seniors! On the last lap of the journey we came back, filled with enthusiasm and ready for hard work. After great discussion Robert Stock was elected presi- dent, Isabelle Tursa, secretary and Miss Case, treasurer We started right in and placed several of our boys on the gridiron, who fought bravely and gave plenty of glory to the Homestead High School. In Basketball we shone, since our stars were all members of ’23. Through their earnest efforts and our backing we captured the championship of the W. P. I. A. L. We had one Senior Party and it was a howling success. We have been here four years-years that at times were interminable in length, but which have sped so swiftly. We leave with a feeling of regret and leave be- hind only pleasant memories. May you long remember the Class of “23”. ANN KOVAL ’23. d� b cSb (B) CLASS PROPHECY I hung up the receiver in despair and slumped down into the first chair. Four o’clock! And a telephone call informing me that some long expected company would drop in this evening. Gracious! Who did she say was com- ing? Let’s see, they were Miss Elizabeth Rowe, Editor of the Society Page; Miss Wanda Neundorf, successor to Miss Laura Riley; Miss Eleanor Morgan, the noted Shakesperian actress; Dr. Russell Jones, head of Izzy Forkosh’s deaf and dumb institution, and Alfred Carr, the Great Pugilist. We had spent an enjoyable evening, and reminiscences had been ex- changed. I excused myself and went back to the kitchen to prepare a lunch- eon. Suddenly I heard screams of delight from the living room. Upon returning I was horror-stricken and yet amused to find little Dick, comfortably seated on Alfred Carr’s knee, hugging delightedly to his white nighty, a dusty book. Page twenty-nine “Look,” he cried excitedly, “I found this up in the cupboard. I couldn't sleep and I was wondering if you would read me the stories, will you, mum?” I took the book from him and turned the cover. Memoirs! It was my Class Annual of ’23.

A clock chimed, I closed the book. For ’twas three o’clock in the morning, We had talked and tried to see, What had happened before and after, To the Class of “23”. La t Will and Testament of the Class of ’23 We, the Senior Class of 1923, of the Homestead High School, Homestead, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, whereas we are about to depart this High School, and whereas we arc in our right mind, or think we are, do herewith will and bequeath those things which we hold dear, and which have not been willed before: I. (1) To the Class of ’24 we leave, to wit, the rubber runner in the hall. Which runs from the north entrance to the south, bisecting and making right angles with itself at the mid points of the north, south, and east, west lines. Cherish it as you would cherish life itself, but be wise and cautious as we, do not try to slide on it, or you will come to grief—it’s non-skid. (2) We bequeath our Grammar Books, having faithfully fdled in all blanks and marked all difficult passages. We believe in that noble sentiment —do as you’d be done by. (3) We also bequeath to those noble beings who arc going to sit in our seats, the Chemistry Lab. with all its contents of broken test tubes, old sponges, acids and—Mr. Fix. II. (1) To the Class of '25, we will and bequeath to wit, the telephone in the hall and with it an impaired sense of hearing. If, perchance, you don’t believe us, try to hear over it. But be that as it may, we leave it in all good faith. (2) We bequeath also those hangmen’s ropes which may easily be seen in the Gymnasium. They may do noble duty for your class in putting some erring Soph again in the straight and narrow. Page thirty-three HI. To the Class of ’26 we bequeath the horses in the Gymnasium. Keep them clean and feed them regularly and well so they may retain their shape and also their glossy coats. IV. And to all other classes we leave and bequeath, to wit, the curtains in the Auditorium and the Flags with what upholds them. e place them in trust with our present classes, for those future school children. But let me warn you, don’t forget the moth balls or they—the curtains not the children will be quite holey indeed. The classes may complain about the odor in the Fall—but we won’t smell it. In Testimony whereof, we. the said Senior Class of 23 have to this, our last will and testament affixed our name and seal this 29lli day of May in the year of ourLord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three. THE SENIOR CLASS OF ’23. Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the said Senior Class of ’23, as and for their last will and testament, in the presence of us, who, at their re- quest and in their presence, and in the presence of each other, have sub- scribed our names as witnesses thereto.

Page thirty-eight THE CLASS OF ’233 Well, here we are, the third mid-year class. “Just a few more strag- glers,” did you say? Why, I should say not. We’re that memorable class that does things. Yes, of course we went through that formal status of Freshman life: Blank, inquiring gazes; questions upon questions; green ties and green bows; unspeaable tortures at the hands of the noted Sophomores; and of course that famous Freshman party of ’19j4- Thus passed the first quarter. The bell rang and we went on the floor once more. Then the true task began. The faculty soon found out we meant business. We studied hard and excelled in our classes and yet there was something lacking. Organization, that was it. We had not organized. We could not organize. We helped to entertain the Freshies that year and took part in other activities, but still we were not a class. Hark! it was the bell! The end of the first half had come. It was a glorious half for us in spite of our drawback. Another half in which to win and when we started it was with a deter- mination. We were Juniors then and the pride of the school. We helped to win the junior pennant. We helped with that unsurpassed banquet. We were workers, when the third quarter ended. Now we are playing the first half of the last quarter. We are a success and when the bell rings, after time out, in September we will play on to victory. When they speak of our great game they will say, “ ’Twas a game indeed, played by champions all.” ELIZABETH FENDERSON '23'-L Page thirty-nine JUNIOR CLASS THE CLASS OF ’24 It’s always the same old story. It’s the Juniors are doing this and the Juniors are doing that; if it isn’t one thing, it’s two or three. I guess this old school of ours knows us by this time. It ought to. For the Juniors this year are of the class of ’24. Yes, the same old bunch. They jumped into the limelight as Fresh- ies, and have been luminaries ever since. I suppose the class of ’24 is most active and most interested in athletics. After all, it seems that is one of the things that gains one an enviable reputation (such as the Juniors’); for since time immemorial, the athelete, “the strong man”, has been envied and respected a great deal. Recently, a foreigner applying for citizen- ship in this country was found to be unable to name the governor of his state, any Congressman, or even the president of the United States. Finally, upon being asked by the exasperated judge to mention at least one great American, he re- plied, “Baba da Ruth!” Each year, the percentage of Juniors participating in Homestead High School sports increases, and the majority of them shine in more than one branch, spreading the fame of the school and of the class far and wide. Homestead’s football, basketball, and track teams are all enjoying the ser- vices of a great number of Juniors who began their careers on their very' entrance into High School, and who will continue to do so until the last game has been played and won. And examination of inter-class athletic results for the past three years will reveal the fact that ’24 has always been either win- ning, or causing winners tremendous worry throughout each season. Next year, these Juniors arc going to make one last grand effort, and then they will have done their best. Then their graduation will have marked the passing of the old line, and new blood will have to be injected to pro- duce more Homestead champion teams. Another important factor in a class’s success is its general activity in school and out. The present Juniors’ class-room records have always been consistent in their excellence. You know, it is always advisable to keep on friendly relations with the teachers, and who is more beloved by that vener- able body than the Juniors, those dazzling jewels of school-room perfection? And who has not heard of those famous parties of the class of ’24? No Junior- Senior banquet (with the possible exception of last year’s) has a justifiable right to challenge this year’s in nicety' of detail, and the general spirit of hos- pitality and fun. While Sophomores, the class elected John Askey president, and “Neen” Campbell treasurer. This y'ear, Charles McLean served as President, and Page forty-one Dorothy Nevin treasurer. These people, with an able corps of assistants, have undertaken great responsibilities in the course of the years, and have made good. Juniors point with pride to the fact that the class-meetings have always been most enthusiastically attended by the whole class. Did you ever glance into any activity embracing the whole school in its supporters, such as attendance at games, entertainments in the school, and Red Cross, year book, and “Gold and Blue” campaigns, and the like, merely to note what set or what class it is that seems to be relied upon most by the leaders in that activity? All through its High School career, especially since organizing, the class of ’24 has surpassed all others in generous response to such calls for support. There you have the real history of the Class of ’24. This was not in- tended as a eulogy (which I fear it has been), but as a plain statement of fact, but in this case, the two terms arc one and inseparable, it makes no dif- ference which we use. For it isn't a bit unusual for the Class of '24 to excel in its undertakings, and so it’ll be perfectly natural for it to cause the country to resound with the fame of its name (as it inevitably must do), next year and forever more. THOMAS BARDZILAUSKAS, ’24. Page forty-two 1 “i SOPHOMORE CLASS CLASS OF 75 Take a look at us, will you? Don’t you know who we are? Sopho- mores, nothing else but, that’s us. Two years ago, 1921 to be exact, we were Freshmen. As we entered the great doors of the Homestead High School, we experienced a thrill that only comes once in a life time. The haughty looks of the Seniors; the cool condescending looks of the Juniors; the bored, tired looks of the Sophomores, cooled and dampened our spirit, somewhat. But it only took about three days for us to show the Seniors and the Sophomores that great things could be expected of us and that we were no babies. Finally, we got used to the way High School life was to Freshman. We calmed down and got to work. Some of the teachers even went so far as to say that we were the most studious class in the school. (?) (!) Our Freshman year was quiet, socially. We staged only one party. This was the Friday before Hallowe’en. A rip roaring time was given us by our teachers, in the gym. The place was decorated with the colors of the school and prizes were given for the best costumes. Mr. Hoover broke up the party by twinkling the lights off at 10:30. The next year we broke into fast company. We became a most Honor- able, dignified, stiff-necked set of brilliant Sophomores. Then we did shine. We were told to organize and get together. We held a meeting and elected officers for the year. William Morgan was elected president, Fritz Miller was elected vice president, and Elsie Rosenbaum was elected secretary. The first week after our organization, I was star gazing one night. Af- ter locating the brightest star, I noticed, much to my satisfaction, that it was a little dim. Now, for some unknown reason, that star has never re- gained all of its brilliancy. (!) I wonder if this was due to our efforts? In athletics we cut a great figure. We won the soccer championship with such stars as Trautman, Sullivan, Evans, McClynn, Miller, Harrison and Capt. Miller representing us. In basketball the whole second team was made up of almost all Sophs. In the inter-class league, we came out minus a little bit of joy. For, due to some unknown cause, we finished last. We held another party just before Hallowe’en. John Bier took the prize for the best dressed Sophomore. After partaking of some food (_?) we were sent home joyfully by Mr. Hoover. (He made the lights twinkle like stars that time). This is the History of the Class of ’25. Two great steps have been taken by us on the road to a higher understanding and a better education. What, with the two more greater steps before us, we will do is yet to be seen. We are aiming to make these last two years the best two years of the four in High School. Watch us! I’aye forty-four JOHN PALMER, ’25. ACTIVITIES Page forty-five ODE TO H. H. S. There’s a High School on the hill. And it surely fills the bill When it comes to learning all that books contain; We traverse the road of learning, ith our wishes and our yearning, And reach the goal-post of success all safe and sane. When it comes to Some Athletics, In which our High competes, Not one can get ahead of Homestead High! In soccer and in track, Not a thing does Homestead lack, While in basket and football they’re not shv! So here’s to Homestead High, Over which we laugh and cry, bor its sorrows and its joys are yours and mine! And when it comes to lining up. For a silver loving cup, Our dear old Homestead High will head the line. By LEVINA HARTLEY, ’24 4. Page forty-six Viuje forty-seven fHE CURRENT HISTORY CLUB The Current History Club, since its organization in the fall of 1922, has been one of the most energetic and most beneficial of student activities. The purpose of the club is to discuss questions of current history. The meetings are held on alternate Thursday afternoons, and an instruc- tive program is usually prepared beforehand. The program consists of dis- cussions concerning industrial and political questions, and other interesting topics. Altogether, the club offers a remarkable opportunity to anyone inter- ested in current history. The club has made great progress under the able guardianship of Miss Ankrom, and we hope it will keep up its good work in the future. The officers are: President.........................................Cecelia Roth Vice President.................................Joseph Devey Secretary......................................

Page forty-eight Page forty-nine I aye fifty THE GOLD AND BLUE The year of ’23 proved to he another prosperous season for our little messenger of school gossip. When our Gold and Blue came hack in 1921, she surely was in need of staunch support. The Gold and Blue was then a two-sheet paper issued monthly; despite low rates, the paper was financially a failure. Undaunted by this, it came hack in 1922 in the form of a very neat little magazine, with an attractive cover and cuts. Evidently this was an incentive to better work, for 1922 brought forth the fruits of real efforts, as the magazine proved to he a real live wire. Although her condition financially was improved upon, still she did not break absolutely even at the end of 1922. This situation was well provided for in 1923, under the able guidance of Miss Case, who has stood firmly and faithfully behind it for these last three years. The campaign for subscriptions brought forth results and as all worries of this sort were over for the year 1923, the efforts of the Staff were then directed towards making it a success as a peppy news article. We feel we have succeeded and are willing to leave it in the hands of a capable staff, chosen by the retiring staff. We look for even more brilliant results next year, as prospects are now bright and rosy. The retiring staff desires to take this opportunity of expressing its appre- ciation and gratitude to Miss Case, for her invaluable assistance and co-opera- tion, one of the direct causes of the Gold and Blue’s success. We hope that next year’s staff will be as fortunate in the possesssion of a “silent Captain” as we have been. With heartiest of wishes, THE STAFF OF ’23. Page fifty-one DEBATING TEAM Faye fifty-two THE DEBATING TEAM The Homestead High School has a debating team this year, and a very good one to say the least. Such convincing argument and power of persuasion! Under the capable coaching of Miss Felix, the members of the team show all signs of developing into excellent public speakers. The members of the team are Miss Felix, coach, Anne Koval, Lucille Cundiff, Sara Freeman, Isabelle Tursa, Eleanor Morgan, Mary Gentile, Harry Eskowitz, and Morris Kardon. We hope that a debating team will be more active next year. Page fifty-three SIGMA BETA EPSILON THE SIGMA 'BETA EPSILON The Sigma Beta Epsilon Cluh of the Homestead High School consists of fifteen Junior girls. Miss Frysingcr. one of the teachers in the High School, is the sponsor. The club was organized during the winter of 1919 when the girls were in eighth grade. It has been the chief recreation of the girls ever since. The meetings are held every two weeks at different homes of the girls. The chief topic of the programs for the meetings this winter has been Shake- speare and his works. The remaining part of the program consisted of violin, piano, and vocal solos, plays, recitations, current events, and the Sorority Star, the club paper. I he meeting is then turned over to social enjoyment and dancing. MARY DOUDS, 24. HELEN NUSS, ’24. Page fifty-fire Page fifty-six 5PDRT5 a «2' FOOTBALL TEAM FOOTBALL When the referee’s whistle ended the Turkey Day struggle, with the. score 19 to 3 in our favor, the greatest football season in the history of good old Homestead Hi School was officially closed. It was by far the greatest record attained by a Homestead team. Of the nine games played, eight were placed on the right side of the ledger, while there was but one “accident” during the season. Much credit is due to Coach Masley for his untiring efforts in behalf of the team, John McLean, a well-known alumnus, was always ready to help out when occasion demanded, as were other former students. The first game took place at Homestead Park, with Clairton as our oppon- ents. The game after the first quarter was all Homestead, and the score ended 32 to 6. Many are still trying to figure out that lucky forward pass that scored Clairton’s only points. Did they get you? This was the query asked of all following the next game, which took place at Braddock. It is not necessary to remind anyone of the riot. Homestead defeated Braddock 12 to 0; Black and O’Donovan go- ing over with the touchdowns. It was in this game that Wolfe showed his ability as a speed artist. The next victim was the highly touted Bellevue eleven ; and they returned home carrying an 18 to 0 drubbing with them. Surely you remember Weiner’s great 55-yard run through the entire Bellevue team? Duqucsne, a former Tartar for Homestead, was next polished off to the tune of 39 to 0. There was so much Homestead in this game, that in the last few minutes of play, Duquesne left the field. The next game was the one in which we suffered our only defeat of the season, Wilkinsburg downing us 9 to 0. Homestead was greatly outweighed in this struggle. Wilkinsburg later won the Championship of Western Penn- sylvania, and Homestead prides herself in the fact that they held Wilkinsburg to the lowest number of points scored on their field during the season. A new string of victories was started against Ambridge the following week. Homestead defeating them 21 to 0, at Ambridge. This proved that Homestead had the back bone and would fight, regardless of the defeat of the week before. Homestead next met McKeesport at Homestead Park, and sent the Tube City lads home with a 13 to 0 defeat. Three regulars were missing from the game, and their places were filled by capable substitutes. North Braddock was next. Excepting the Wilkinsburg game, this was the hardest fought battle of the entire year. Homestead winning in a close game, by a 7 to 0 score. l’ayc fifty-nine Then came the final game and the most important one on the schedule: The annual tussle with Munhall, and it ended with Munhall taking a licking, 19 to 3. The game took place on a dry field, which was the first most of us remember. “Pudge” O’Niel, our captain and end, after being out of the lineup the first few games due to illness, returned, and played the best game of his career, that he has played for the past four years. Very seldom they came around “Pudge’s” end, and when they did, they took a mighty good man to fill our captain’s place. “Jimmie” Black, our sterling half-back, was the leading scorer and ground gainer. The other teams knew “Jimmie” and always fixed their defense for him, but to no avail. Jim would score anyhow. There was no stopping him. “Jimmy” was picked by sporting editors as all-scholastic half-back. Keep your eyes on Jim. You’re going to hear more of him in the future. “Weiners” Berger our full-back, was out again, and played a “whale” of a game. What would be done without “Weiners”? Our team would be “hitting on three” without him. He has an educated toe, and did some of the punting last season, although it was seldom the team punted. “Weiners” will be back for another year. “Neen” Campbell, the dimunitive quarter-back, was always on the job, “barking” signals. He was able to crawl through holes that no one else would think of entering. He repeatedly made gains through the line and around the ends. “Neen” still has another season to go. “Butch” Keizler, our other star half-back, was a terror to opposing teams. When they needed a few yards, they gave “Butch” the ball, and he made them. Tarentum’s loss was Homestead’s gain, for it was from the former school that “Butch” entered our High School. “Rusty” Coles played a stellar game at end, opposite “Pudge”. “Rusty” is a fast boy, and his specialty was in “ breaking in”, and recovering fumbles. He could also be depended on to come around and carry the ball whenever it was necessary. “Mac” McLean was always found at his favorite position, tackle. Also, in a few games he played half-back. “Mac’s” “never-say-die” spirit kept the team going every minute of the game. Charlie will he a Senior next year. “Babe” Splatt, was the center last season. Trying to get through cen- ter with “Babe” playing, was similar to trying to get through a stone wall. The opponents usually tried this spot once, and then decided to hunt elsewhere. “Babe’s” brother, “Bill”, played alongside of him. “Bill” was an all- around man, and showed his versatility in playing the backfield. The Splatts formed a hard combination to beat. They will both be back again. “Hacker” Hepps played guard, and played it well. His opponent in every game usually outweighed him from ten to fifty pounds, but this did not stop Hacker from breaking through a number of times and tackling the runner. “Tommie” Passafium, the other tackle was always on the job. Tom” is a scrapper, and where you found the play, you found him. “Tom” will be with the team for another season. Page sixty “Miff” O’Donovan was always ready to get into the fray. Many times during the past season he proved his worth. Paul Wolfe, end, filled O’Neil’s shoes, while the captain was out, and did a good job. Paul will be found at his old position next season. “Bill” Parry also filled in at end. In fact, “Bill” started the first game of the season at end. He says, “Watch my dust next fall.” Colledge and Beedle found many opportunities during the season to show their skill. Hughie Lordon was also on tap, and ready to enter the game . at any moment. “Bunk” McGeever was always ready to “do his stuff”. Taking it all together, it was the greatest season enjoyed in the history of our school. With Berger. Campbell, Wolfe. Parry, McLean, W. Splatt. k. Splatt, Hepps, McGeever, Lordon and Beedle due to return, the outlook for next season is very promising.

The greatest and best team in Western Pennsylvania! This was by far the most successful season of any of our basketball teams. Coach Masley and his boys hung up the greatest record ever made by a local team. Of the twenty-one games played, nineteen resulted in victories. Our team was the sensation of the season. We were entered in Section VII of the W. P. I. A. I.., the strongest section in the league, and in the twelve starts in league games, we did not lose one. Among the teams defeated twice were Wilkinsburg, Duquesne, Turtle Creek, Swissvale, Munhall, and Edgewood, the other teams to fall before us were North Braddock (twice), Braddock, McKees- port, Avalon, Allegheny, and Monesson. After annihilating the rest of our section, we entered the elimination series, competing against the league’s best. After defeating Avalon and Allegheny (do you remember Mac's field goal?) we downed Monesson in the final game. The team then made the trip to Penn State to compete in the tournament to decide the championship of Pennsylvania. In a hectic encounter there, we were defeated. Great credit is due Coach Masley for turning out the wonderful combina- tion he did. The team was composed of five fighters, and fight they did to the last minute of every game. Joe “Socko” Campbell, our captain, was particularly adapted to caging field goals, which he did with great regularity. That the opposing team greatly feared Joe is attested by the fact that they had a man “hugging” him each game. They tried hard to keep Joe from getting away. He was seldom out-jumped by his opponent. It will be a mighty long time before Homestead High gets another center of Joe’s calibre. Roy “Mouse” O’Donovan was the best Boor man on the team. When “Mouse” got the ball, they very seldom took it away from him, and when the opponents had the ball, it did not take “Mouse” long to get it. He was the foul shooter of the team, and at the end of the season he had a high percentage. He also led the team in field goals scored. Cornelius “Keen” Campbell, our other forward should be nicknamed “Light- ning.” When “Neen” had the ball, he could crawl between the legs of his oppo- nent or climb over his back, without the latter being any wiser. He was speed all over. Watch “Neen” next season. If he is not chosen for all-scholastic forward, we miss our guess. I'tujc sixty-three You have heard that it is well-nigh impossible to get a shot under the basket when the Homestead guards were in the game. Charles “Mac” McLean was our stationary guard. It was about as easy for the opponents to get through “Mac” as it is to solve Andy (jump. “Mac” was a terror. Charley was always full of light. Charley has another year to play. James “Jimmie” Black was our other guard. Jim” was a good shot, and when he went down the floor, it usually meant a basket. He also took a turn at shoot- ing fouls, and excelled in this department. “Jim’s” opponent usually felt that he had played a good game, if he had made more than one held goal. Our subs this season were stars themselves. Had they been members of any other squad in Western Pennsylvania, they would have ranked as first-class players. Paul “Pudge O’Neil was always ready to jump in at forward or at center, as the occasion demanded. Paul was a good shot, and was good for a few basket whenever he broke in. Harold “Rusty ' Coles was a guard. When “Rusty” got in he played his usual stellar game, and it was next to impossible for the opposing forwards to score. “Rusty” was an important cog in the machine. illiam “Bill Parry, was the other forward. Whenever given an oppor- tunity to show his wares, he produced. “Bill” still has a year to go, and next year will find him in there “fightin’ his head off.” I he banquet given in honor of our team at the Masonic Hall was a huge success. The players were awarded minature gold basketballs and the school was presented with a beautiful trophy. Much credit is due the Booster’s Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, and the citizens of the town, who made possible this memorable event.

This team was composed of such stars as Vebelunas, Auckewicz, Evans and others, and stands out as being one of the finest teams Homestead High has ever pro- duced, losing only two games during a long season. With every girl on the team a new one this year, Coach Riley feels that her efforts have not been in vain when the team ended a 50-50 season. Eight games were originally scheduled, as it was not the idea of the Coach to carry a heavy schedule, but two of the games were cancelled—due to the fact that no agreement could be reached about dates. The coach has done wisely in selecting capable Freshmen and Sopho- mores for the team, and great things are expected from this team which will last for several years as it loses only two of its regular players this year— Rucker, guard, and Ackerman, forward. Coach Riley feels confident that these vacancies can be capably filled, as she has a second team of splendid substitutes.

True, soccer is a comparatively recent sport in the school, but it has •' made great strides in the three years of its existence. Homestead succeeded in winning permanent possession of the J. W. Benner trophy due to defeating Munhall three times in succession. Munhall had previously held the cup for two years and it was necessary for Homestead to make a clean-up to gain possession of it, and this they did handily. The coaches were Guest and'Cooksey, and great credit is due to them for turning out a team of such calibre. The boys succeeded in defeating the cream of the Pittsburgh High Schools, trouncing both Schenley and Peabody. They visited Knoxville, and returned home with another victory. In the final game of the season, for the championship of Western Pennsylvania, the boys invaded Rridgeville, and af- ter a game played on an icy field, were defeated. The Line-Up G Miller C Miller R.

We certainly wish success to all those who have entered I’itt, among whom are Lillian Burkett, Anna Daniels, Dorothy Drawbaugh, Hemard Newell, Forrest Weghorst, Charles Muldowney, Dorothy Rosenbaum, Pat O'Hare, Thelma Han- ley, Agnes Maczko, h.lsie 1 hompson and Josephine Marshall. A very clever and adorable young man, Russ Rogers, has entered Tech and John Shannon is profiting by the knowledge which he learned there. Margaret Douds, Katherine Lewis, Alice Stewart, and Alberta Matthews have answered the appeal of Slippery Rock. hile Slippery Rock may have appealed to some, yet Indiana had its appeal also and it was answered by Mabel Maust, Tydfil Jones, and Angela Muzzy. Grove City appealed to Dot Hahn. Alumni and Aluminum arc somewhat alike; however, Rose Stankus chose the latter. Our dear rosy cheeked Bubbles is no longer a cub, he now has the position of assistant reporter in Schenley District. Vance Lauderbaugh is attending Reno Business College. Bud Lawson is assistant manager of the firm Lawson Company. Dot Davis, Loretta Geary, and Florence Evans, evidently intend to be- come business women, as they are attending the Margaret Morrison School. Caroline Honse evidently intends to follow the golden rule as she is a nurse in the Passavant Hospital. I'agc sevenly-onc A class would not be complete without some teachers so May Maddison, Elvira Miller. Cora McMahon, Laura Jacobs and Regina Weiss are now teaching. Two curly haired fellows. l.eRoy Nelson and Albert Schwartz are wear- ing the green at State. Others are working, and some are at home, but where ever you arc, ’22, always remember that the Class of ’23 wishes you the best that life can afford. 1921 Although you have been away for two years from your Alma Mater, we have not forgotten, and sincerely hope that you still remember the glories of the Gold and Blue. Pitt has received many scholars from this shining Class of ’21. Among the members may be found the names of the following distinguished persons: Morris Berger, Bernard Grinberg, Ray Guy. the woman hater; Morris Moxley, who is studying pharmacy; Julia McKillop, John Sullivan, future dentist; Marcella Akucewicz and John Langham. But the neighboring school of Tech held the interests of some and promises to produce some great men, as Harry Mervis, of the Dramatic Class, who certainly has chosen the right profession and a great future is predicted for him. Also our loving Bess Bulmer, who intends to design Harry’s cos- tumes. Nathan Lefkowitz, Alan Widom and Charles Johnson also belong to the Carnegie’s. Even at that late hour some of them had to fall into the snares of matri- mony, and so Helena Goeddel and Hulda Hodde have changed their names. A great number of the class are out for revenge of injustices done while in school, as they are now teaching. They are Roberta Davis, Edna Holt- man, Ruth Freeborough, Verne Livingston and Mary McCullumn. Edward Robertson and James Coles are going to a school in a state that is round at each end and high in the middle—O-h-i-o—State Normal. Sarah Gillard has at last been separated from Roberta, she is now at In- diana Normal, while Elizabeth Miller and Jennie Skyrmes are at Slippery Rock Normal. Joseph Macko now shines at Maryland State and our quiet little Helen Mickulonic has won many friends at Westminster. May your life be a success, ’21, and your days as bright and cheerful as those spent in II. H. S. 1920 You once made us stand in awe at your grave and dignified persons, of course you don’t even remember us—because then we were only the green- est of Freshies. But we haven’t forgotten and are glad to see you making a success of life. I‘ugi- seventy-two Florence Caldwell, our well-remembered pianist, is now playing her tunes on a typewriter in an office at the mill and her brother, Bill, is one of Mon. Trust’s most faithful employees. It seems Pitt is always on the lookout for the best of students and Lucy Chamberlain is not only acquiring great success in her studies but in sports also. Ida Friedlander and Miriam Marshall have also chosen Pitt as the school wherein they expect to obtain a higher knowledge. We all remember when Dorothy Naurnan won the Pitt scholarship. Dot is still going to Pitt. If George Stewart ever held a grudge against you—beware of the future —he’s a dentist. We never thought Rose Mary Curran, the heroine of “A Fortune Hunter would be teaching in Third Ward. Helen Deforce is now teaching in Florida. Watch out for the alligators, Helen. Remember Rudolph Chassef? Of course, well, he is now a student at Maryland State. Did you ever notice the employees in the P. O.? Look the next time; perhaps you’ll see Ed. Jones. Best wishes to Doris Myers who won the scholarship at the Margaret Morrison School, which was the (irst of its kind ever given. Remember the day in chapel when Johnny Kevin said he liked to come back to H. 11. S.? lie evidently likes Westminster better—because he is still there. Lucille Roessler with the golden curls has made a wife for one member of the “timid sex.” Remember quiet Marie Vondcra—she is behind the bars—yes, the bars of the bank. Have you heard Jack Walton play lately? Every day in every way he is getting better and better. Beware of Jimmy Watson. He is working at the Homestead Park Land Co. office and will try to persuade you that you need your life insured or that you should invest your money in a home. It’s only the wishes of the Class of '2.1 but they arc always wishing you the best of luck, 1920. 1919 Although we never had the honor of being your schoolmates yet we feel as if we had always known you—because are you not graduates of the same Alma Mater as ourselves? The two Barnhart sisters although having made good in school are pro- gressing along different lines of life now, as they are both home-makers. Margaret Fisher and Margaret Conway have also had their dreams come true as they too, have joined hands with some lucky fellow. Page seventy-three . I. I Not yet but soon Elsa Luechncr and Helen Xucl also will belong to this happy group. George Jones and Donald Davis have given their future education into the hands of Bucknell. All schools are honored by having some one of our graduates. Kleofus Bardzilauskas is now a student at Notre Dame and Rose Glide is attending the Pittsburgh Academy. Grace Moxlev, Alice Rogers, and Bernice Treloar have decided to teach the younger generation the things they once tried to learn themselves. While Melville Jones is at Allegheny and Kenneth Harkins at Lehigh, Edna Sharp is making a success at Indiana and Robert Straka is doing his very best at the University of Maryland. Of course every one knows that Bill Nebo is one of our prominent busi- ness men of today. Although Sadie Weiss belongs to your class yet she is still with us as clerk in the office. To you, 1919, we wish the height of success in all your ambitions and accomplishments. 1918 Perhaps H. H. S. school days seem but a vision to you now, although you may have forgotten them, yet the names of your classmates are soon recalled. Surely you remember “Mid Bost, who is still preparing more material for her Alma Mater. Agnes Morgan is also a teacher. We are proud to say that Bill Campbell, captain of the famous Morn’s Basketball Team, is an alumnus of our school. The Class of ’18 also have some of their members enrolled in Pitt. Ger- trude and Jeannette Friedlander and Ralph Wickerham. Lest We Forget! Let the memory of Earl Hays always be dear to us, who gave his all for his country. Joseph Cauley and illiam McGuire are members of Ducjucsne Law School. We always need druggists, especially since prohibition, so Samuel Hepps and George Schuette have obliged us. Many of ’18 have and are now launched safely in the harbor of matri- monial bliss. Among these are Mary Jones, Hattie Marsh, Mildred McClean, and Mary Walton. Buena Marshall is to start on the voyage early this Spring. Paul Met lean and Harry Murray are continuing their studies at Car- negie Tech, while Esther Sharpe is at Indiana. To you '18 we wish life-long health and happiness. I’aac seventy-four 1917 We scarcely remember you '17, it seems so long since you left us, but we stop and look at your pictures which still bang in the hall of fame. To you, Ruth Adams, Charles Carrick, Lloyd Luthy, Elsie Maust, although your ambitions have been realized and are now centered in a home of youi own, we wish you long life and happiness. Helen Trealor is still with us, as a teacher in the H. H. S. William Laird and Howard Grimm are soon to receive their diploma from 1’itt, their second alma mater. To the rest of the class of '17 we hope that success shall ever be with them, and may you always remember that ’23 is wishing you the best of luck. PRECEDING CLASSES To the classes who have gone before the year T7 and members of whom we do not remember, yet whom we can never forget, because you belong to the same Alma Mater, we wish to send you the heartiest wishes that the Class of ’23 can give. Of the Class of ’12, Harry Eekle is practicing dentistry in Monessen, and Homer Woozlev is one of Homestead’s leading Real Estate agents. In the class of '12, John Foster is a prominent dentist of Homestead; Regina Haupt, still teaches geometry in the H. 11. S.; Anna Rogers, teaches in Fourth Ward. To Phillip McNally, who gave all for the right, we pay our most humble respects. Sumner Marshall of ’14, is successfully married, Margaret McGuire of the same class, is a teacher in the H. H. S. and John McLean is the controller of Homestead Borough. Margaret Jeannero of the class of T5, is a teacher in the H. H. S., Rose Tupp of the same class is also a teacher, and Mary Arbuckle has weathered the voyage of matrimony. In the Class of ’16. Leigh Davis is teaching in Bellevue High School, Ruth Griffith as a clerk in the office of H. H. S. still signs our excuses, Lois Nebo is a teacher in Second Ward, James Morgan has a fixing time, being a dentist. Eulalia Thompson, nurse, is the good Samaritan. There comes from the class who is just starting its career to you who are experienced in the ways of the world, the most sincere wishes of health, happiness, and success. Remember ’23.

He was elected president without making any campaign speeches. When Martha found a strange hair on his coat she always figured it came from his wig.

Come up here and let me give you some work.” He—“I’ve caught you under the mistletoe.” She—“If you kiss me, I’ll scream.” He—“But if you scream, the people will hear you.” She—“And if I don’t scream, how will they know I've been kissed?” “How do you know Mrs. Rogers isn’t going to have new furs this winter?” “I played bridge with her last night.” “I hear that your husband is critically ill, Mrs. Tiff,” said Mrs. Gummey. “Yes, he is.
