TU CLASS HISTORY On a cool spring evening in the month of May, Father Time and his wife, Dame Time, were sitting together on their cozy little porch watching the last rays of old Sol turn into purple and drop behind the wooded hill. As old Father Time sat there smoking his pipe he suddenly looked very sad. “Now what are you worryin’ about?” asked Dame Time, anxiously. “I’m not worryin’ about anything. I was just thinkin’ about how old you and me is gettin’ to be. Do you know it don’t seem anytime since all those youngsters that are goin' to start out in the world for themselves in a couple of days now were Freshmen in that old H. II. S. ?” “Yes, and haven’t they had four glorious years! They couldn’t have had a better time.” “Indeed they have. Do you remember the first party they had? They were all mad ’cause it was from four until six but they had another one that year and didn’t they have a good time? They didn’t organize that year; but the next year they elected John Askey president, Eleanor Morgan vice-president, and Cornelius Campbell secretary, isn’t that right?” “Yes, and MacLean, Regis Curran and Dot Nevin were elected officers the next year,” put in Dame Time. “When did they have that St. Patrick’s Day Party? Oh! I remember now, it was when they was Sophs. Do you ’member, too, the Play they had on Movin’ Up Day? Chuck Bcedle was old King Soph. But I tell ya the best thing that class ever pulled off was the Junior-Senior Banquet, last year. “Yes,” added Dame Time, “that was one of the peppiest, livliest affairs the old school has ever had. That’s the one at which the Sorority had the Spook meeting, isn’t it? Oh my, all those girls are going to graduate this year, too. Oh dear!” “Yep, they graduate. My goodness, nearly the whole basketball team will graduate, too, won’t it? There’s MacLean, Campbell, McGill and McGeever that graduate. Well, I’m glad that some of the members of the Class of ’24 helped to bring home the State Championship cup. That class has been well represented in athletics all through their course. Last year they helped with the W. P. I. A. L. and they have always had some of their members on the foot- ball and soccer squad.” Page tvjenty-lhree IS “Who is the Senior class president, I forget?” asked Dame Time. Charles Schmitt, and I homas Bardzilauskas is vice president and Mary Kinney secre- tary, replied father 1 ime. “Mv, a lot has happened this year. The Seniors had a barn dance. It was quite an affair. Then, there was the big Athletic Banquet and the Senior Dance. Do you know that that class has worked awfully hard, too? The Gold and Blue was better this year than ever and the Annual meant a lot of work.” “I just can’t hardly imagine that High School without those Seniors. My, but we will miss them! “When did you say graduation was?” asked Father Time. “The 27th of May,” replied Dame Time. They were both silent. I he sun had gone down now and it was quite dark. Then Father 1'ime spoke as he rose to go into the house. Well, all things have to end so it seems that this graduation was bound to come whether it makes us older or not.” —Dot Nevin.

Page KING TUT’S BROTHER FOUND, RUMORED Thomas Bardzilauskas, the noted Egyptolo- gist of Harvard, and Elsa Phirrman, of Vas- sar, have discovered a mummy which is claimed to be a brother of King Tut. The reason for making this assertion, is that the mummy looks very much like the one dis- covered in 1922. These two Egyptologis'- are doing great work and it is hoped thax some day they shall be rewarded by finding some deposit of gold or jewels. WARNING! Mr. Bullion, weather prophet, issued a warning to those who do not wish to suffo- cate. The thermometer is expected to reach 90 in the shade at one hour after midnight. This will shatter all records for the month of February. CUPID’S COLUMN By Rachel Taylor Dear Miss Taylor, I am a banker and the other day I hired a new stenographer. Her effect upon me was great.

PEEPS AT THE ATHLETES “Neen” Campbell, star shortstop of the New York Giants, and former collegiate football, baseball and basketball star, who was last year chosen as the best all-round player in Page twenty-seven the National League, is no longer a holdout on the salary question. The peppery little shortstop sent in his signed contract to Pres- ident Kovacs of the Giants yesterday and will leave next week to report to Manager “Snubs” Kostelnik at the spring training quarters, at Sarasota, Florida. When the United States Olympic track team leaves next summer to compete in the games at Athens, there will be two local boys among them, namely, Charles “Mac” McLean, who was married this month to the former Miss Bertha Friedel, and Harry “Weiners” Berger. “Mac” holds the world record in the half-mile and the National championship in the 400 yard dash and is expected to cop the two events at Athens. Berger will compete in the shotput and the hammerthrow. Coach Stewart Healy says that “Weiners” will shatter the world’s rec- ord in the shot put. Bill “Scotty” McGill, former crack forward at Penn State, will coach the basketball team at his Alma Mater, Homestead High School, next year. With McGill at the helm prospects for another championship quintet at the local school look bright.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear, Our marvelous tale told year by year. ’Twas the first of the year in ’21, Laughing and pushing and full of fun, That we started thus our brilliant career. II. We said to our mates, “If school’s all fun, How glad we are that it has begun.’’ But we found to our sorrow, day by day, That school-life was really work, not play. But with fun and frolic the year was done. III. And then as Sophs we spent our time In parties and games, as we tried to climb. But as Juniors we gained our greatest renown, When we gave Our Banquet, the talk of the town. And still we can say, We’re just in our prime. IV. We’re Seniors now, 12B’s, you know, And we’ve yet another semester to go. We’re the smallest group in the H. H. S. But we’re proud of ourselves, we must confess, And we’re proud of the chance, our worth to show. —Adela Petraitis, ’24 V . Page thirty-two The days when we first entered seem so faint and far away, WHen brought again to memory tho, they are as bright as day. ThE change of things surprised us, and the faces all were stern. Of Tried and seasoned knowers of the things we were to learn. And Raw indeed we looked perchance, with touch of Irish hue, But living in our bodies was a spirit of true blue.' The trumpet’s blare announced us not, nor heralded our fame, Though Many witty things were said concerning whence we came. Trouble Piled upon our backs seemed wont to bend us low And many Hardships blocked our path, thus making progress slow. Jokes were Always played on us by upper classmen all. To pay for kXocks they had received when they were Freshmen small. We stood for These insults at first, for we had yet to learn The practiced Creed of older studes who suffered in their turn. The aged motto Live and learn was ours to boost up high And that we did Although at times, our faces grew quite wry. And much advice aS sound as rock came to our willing ears Th’ which we vowed So solemnly to carry through the years. But low, the time fOr moving came, too soon the year was o’er With best of luck” For better days our spirits high did soar. The ice that held us To the shore was broken thru at last And so upon a roughter Wave our ship of fate was cast. We sailed down in the bElts of heat and then through Artie cold But neither rain, nor wiNd, nor storm could daunt such sailors bold. As every worthy effort geTs its just deserts when done, So in we turned, with happY thoughts of second battle won. Now juniors we with brave aFfront, aggressive wise and cool, We thought we were the most Important factors in the school. Now we’re plodding still, to Victory and we hope you’ll all contrive To think when thinking of us e’Er the Class of Twenty-five. —Lewis Fenderson, ’25. Page thirty-three JUNIOR CLASS The Juniors, Historically Nationally we represent England, Scotland, Ireland, Poland, Germany, Italy, Hun- gary, Austria, Russia, and the United States; but we are Americans all. Spasmodically we came from kindergarten to ward school, from ward school to Ju- nior High, from Junior High to our present exalted position. Socially we are in a class by ourselves with a party every fall, and the Junior-Senior Banquet to our credit. Athletically we are proud when we consider Wolfe, Parry, Morgan, Flaherty, V eb- lunas, Machie, Teetie, Onaitais, and our most honorable president, Pie Evans. Intellectually we are without peers; notice who gets the A’s, and who writes the most material for the Gold and Blue. Incidentally we are the best class in school; ask any teacher. Donald T. Jones, ’25 2. Page thirty-five Page thirty-six SOPHOMORE CLASS Sophomore History Dere Editor, Your letter asking fer our histry is at hand. You ask me to be original if I can, and to cut it short. Most of our histry ain’t made yet but I’m glad to tell what there is of it. We started to begin it in September of 1912. We wus scattered around considerable and we didn’t know each other, but we wus all there. We learned some readin’ and writin’ and ’rithmetic and some of us learned to spell and purty soon we were all passed to Junior High School. There wus more teachers up there and lots more things to learn but we all managed to get by. When them teachers seen they couldn’t learn us anything more they sent us on to Senior High. We ain’t learned all these teachers know yet but we are cornin’ on purty fast. I’ll tell you more about that next year. Yours, Stanley Morgan, ’26J4. ?age thirty-seven FRESHMAN CLASS gisns) A ca gEMU Freshman Class History Freshies usually haven’t much History, but this class is an exception. We, too, have crossed that honored threshold of the Homestead High School. Perhaps you know? Not long after the beginning of the school term the class had the merriest, happiest, jolliest, party ever staged by a Freshman Class. After many games were played, refreshments were served and while we ate, a very amusing collection of jokes were told. These were met with merry peals of laughter. We went home feeling rather important after such a succcssfid party. Yes, we have another event in our history. Before the Christmas holidays, the Freshman Class gave a play which proved a great success. Mrs. Williams said that it was the best pi ay ever given by a Freshman class. Not many Freshman classes can boast of such an event in their time. It is owing to our wonderful talent, good nature, and school spirit that such things can be accomplished. Perhaps you laugh at this, but can you say as much of your Freshman class? The class of ’27 will bring good Homestead High to the very top rung of the ladder of fame and hold her there by their talent and good work. So we all say. Clara Bextz, ’27.

There are two representatives from the Faculty and three from the student body. 1 he three members from the student body are chosen on their merits by the faculty members, the principal and faculty manager. The council has certain duties to perform each year, these being the electing of football, basketball, soccer, and track managers, also the cheerleaders. All athletic contests are under the general control of the council. This year’s members are Mrs. Williams, Mr. E. L. Fix, John S. Askey, Harry E. Boot, and William Jones. H. E. B., ’24. Page forty-two THE GOLD AND BLUE STAKE THE GOLD AND BLUE The news, literature and jokes of the H. H. S., during the year ’24, found an outlet to all the students through that peppy, newsy little magazine, the “Gold and Blue.” It recorded our victorys, it exhibited some works of our knowledge and its jests were our own cleverness. With the student body back of it our little magazine performed all of these duties with great success. The “Gold and Blue” is very grateful for the contributors, the subscribers and the advertisers, and for the material submitted by the students. Here’s wishing a bigger and better magazine for the year ’25. Page forty-three ■ JUNIOR-SENIOR OUTLOOK CLUB THE JUNIOR-SENIOR OUTLOOK CLUB The Junior-Senior Outlook Club, composed of junior and senior boys, held its first meeting in the fall of 1923. A few students saw the need of such a club in the school and organized it themselves. I he meetings are held every week in the school. The program consists of discus- sions concerning the industrial, political, and social outlook of the community and other interesting subjects. It is hoped that the following classes will make this a permanent organization. Homer Kohl, President. r Roderick Jones, Secretary. Page forty four SIGMA beta epsilon THE SIGMA BETA EPSILON The Sigma Beta Epsilon was organized in the winter of 1919, as a result of good English week. It consisted of the girls of the 8B Grammar class. Meetings are held every two weeks at the various girls’ homes. The program, composed by curators, sponsored by Miss Frysinger, is opened with the Sorority song, “Fair Sigma Beta Epsilon.” Literary compositions, musical selec- tions, and current events help make up the program. It is concluded by the reading of the “Sorority Star,” a humorous paper consisting of jokes, personals and witty sayings. The remaining part of the evening is devoted to social activities. The girls of the sorority now are members of the graduating class. They well remember fair Sigma Beta Epsilon when they think of their happy High School days. After they graduate the sorority will no longer exist as a school organization. Page forty-five ORCHESTRA THE ORCHESTRA The Homestead High School Orchestra is an alert and alive organization of the school. If you would visit the music room at the fourth period on Wednesdays and Fridays, you would find about twenty pupils gathered together and an interesting rehearsal in progress. There are several instrumental classes in the school where pupils are learning to play the different instruments needed to make a well balanced orchestra. Although many of the players graduate from year to year, Miss Jamison, the conductor, has a large Junior High School Orchestra, from which she can select players to fill the va- cancies. Two cellos are owned by the school and a double bass was also added to the equipment this year. This organization has played for most of the school activities such as commence- ments, plays, and a few other events. It also furnished some music at the local Exposition and was on the program of the concert given by the local St. 'Mark’s Church. It has also had several enjoyable social events. The members of the orchestra appreciate the tickets that were furnished them by the school for the Symphony Orchestra Concerts in Pittsburgh. Each member has had an opportunity to hear one of America’s greatest symphony orchestras during this term. The personnel is Dorothy Remaley, Pauline Bunch, Henry Miller, pianists; Curtis Bunch, Leonard Grinberg, Joe Miskovitch, John Nagy, Dean Ritchey, Paul Slayton, Sophie Vogt, Andrew Ferry, first violins; Minnie Gross, Ray Hoover, Jennie Homer, Naomi Jones, Rose Mickulonic, Helen Yuhasz, second violins; Irene Hays, Andrew Lipay, violas; Wm. Edwards, Louis Fenderson, mandolins; Harry Widom, cello; Carl Mantsch, double bass; Paul Renton, Wm. Staley, cornet; Miss B. B. Jamison, conductor. We are sorry that a number of pupils who have been with the orchestra for sev- eral years are not in the picture. Page forty-seven Irene Hays, ’24. MANDOLIN CLUB MANDOLIN CLUB January 23, 1924, marked the beginning of another episode in the history of the Homestead High School when the Mandolin Club was organized. 1 his club consists of students who play instruments mainly of the mandolin, guitar, and ukulele type. It was organized under the capable supervision of Miss Jamison, and is meant to serve occasions when light music is required. W. Edwards. _ Page forty-eight THE ORATORICAL CONTEST Until this year not much has been said or even known of our oratorical ability. This High School has stood high in the scholastic and athletic worlds always, but we might now add that we stand just as high in the oratorical world. It seems that we do not get the best results or attain the highest standards of our ability unless we have something to work for, something to look forward to, or something to gain. So it was this year; no one knew just how many outstanding orators we had in Homestead High until we had the Oratorical Contest to work for. This Oratorical Contest is a national affair. Every high school could have entered it if they had so desired. There are local elimination series, then the State elimination, then, the final, National contest. The winner of this gets a large sum of money. First of all, in this High School, everyone tried out their ability at writing an oration that might bring them fame. Each class had a tryout that picked out the best orators of that class. Then came the final High School tryout. At this contest the Chamber of Commerce of Homestead offered prizes for the three best orations pre- sented. Three members of the Senior Class won the prizes offered: First, $15.00, Carroll Conway; second, $10.00, Edith Marshall; third, $5.00, Thomas Bardzi- lauskas. Carroll Conway, winning out in the High School Elimination, represented our High School in the Pittsburgh district elimination. Representatives from Munhall and Clairton presented orations at the same elimination. The contest was held April 25, in our own auditorium. Each one of the contestants delivered a fine oration; but much to our joy, Carroll Conway brought the victory home. Carroll can surely handle himself on the stage. His oration was, “Abraham Lincoln and the Constitution,” and was developed into a very clear, interesting oration. Carroll is to deliver his oration in other elimination contests. Here’s all the luck in the world, Carroll!!! Dot Nevin, ’24. ■ THE LATIN CLUB The High School found among its ranks of clubs and organizations this year several strangers, though that appellation seems unnatural and incorrectly applied at this stage of the 1923-24 term; not the least of these new and flourishing new-comers is the Latin Club, founded February 13, 1924. On the list of members of the Latin Club may be found the names of all the students in Mrs. Simpson’s Caesar. Cicero, and Virgil classes; for the present, the list of eligibles has had to be confined to this number. The present officers are: Thomas Bardzilauskas, president; Charles McLean, vice-president; John Bier, secretary- treasurer. Mrs. Simpson is the club’s adviser. At each weekly meeting, a program, arranged by a specially appointed committee, is presented by the members. This work comprises the study of classical mythology, Roman history, Roman manners, customs, and religious rites, the etymology and the modern influence of the Latin language and everything else of special interest to Latin students. The results of individual effort and general discussion in the Latin Club are already leaving their impressions on the students’ minds, not only in broader mental development, but also in the practical application, especially in Latin and English classes, of knowledge owed directly to the club. The members are proud of the success of their project, though it is still in its infancy, and they have made it one of the most popular and successful organizations of the school. Page fifty THE WAY OF A MAN WITH A MAID “Bobby! Oh, Bobby!” called Mrs. Strong. “Bobby! Now where on earth is that boy ? He’s never around when he’s wanted.” Mrs. Strong turned to her friend and neighbor, Mrs. Honse. “He knows that we want to visit the Lang- ham’s. Bobby!” (this in a louder, much stronger voice). “Here I am, mother. What- cha want?” Bobby answered, as he came around the corner of the house. “We’re going to visit the Langham’s,” his mother told him. “Oh shux, Ma. I don’t hafta go, do I? Ya can’t do nothin’ there. Ya can’t even fish. Oh shux!” exclaimed Bobby. “You’re going, and that’s final. I’ll tell you, you can take your fishing pole and worms, if you want to. They live near the lake, and you can fish a while. Take a pole for Ruth, she’s going with us. You like to fish, don’t you dear,?” asked Mrs. Strong, as she turned to Ruth Honse, the eight-year old daughter of her friend. “Yes Ma’am. But I’m scared of the worms. They wiggle, and I can’t bait my hook,” she said. “Oh, Bobby would love to do it for you, wouldn’t you Bobby ?” Now Bobby was a small boy, ten years of age, and as yet, the opposite sex had no attrac- tion for him. Rather, they were a nuisance, ’cept, of course, his mother, and even then she didn’t always do things as he liked. So he answered as ten year old boys usually do. “Ah, Ma. Ya can’t fish with girls around. They talk too much.” Evidently he had heard his father say so. “Always botherin’ ya. I can’t fish an’ watch her, so that she don’t fall off the dock.” Page fifty-one “You'll take a pole for Ruth, or else you'll leave your own at home,” said his mother. “My, she is certainly in a bad humor. Won’t agree with anything I say. My!” thought Bobby. Nevertheless, he car- ried or rather, dragged, Ruth’s pole down the road. The Strong’s and Honse’s lived about a mile from the lake front. They were next door neighbors, even in winter, and so they saw a great deal of each other. “Too much.” Bobby would have said, had he been asked. “Ruth’s a pest.” The two kids trudged in front of their mothers, Bobby carrying the poles, and Ruth very cautiously carrying the can of ugly, dirty, disagreeable, worms. Bobby was busily occupied, thinking how he could get rid of Ruth. “ ’S’no use,” he muttered. “Ma’ll watch me, an’ I’ll hafta bait her hook an’ watch her. Lotta fishin’ I’ll get done!” Finally, they reached their friends home. It was only politeness for Bobby and Ruth to sit still, and “be seen and not heard.” At last Bobby took the cour- age to ask, “Ma, kin I. go fishin’ now? Kin I, Ma?” Cruel Ma! She looked at Mrs. Langham, and said, “Dear me, Bobby wants to go fishing. Is it safe?” “Perfectly safe.” (“Dear Mrs. Langham!”) “And is he going to take Ruth with him?” (“Oh-h-h.”) “All right, Bobby. Be a good boy and bait Ruth’s hook. Don’t stay away too long,” said his Ma. “Have you a heavy string to put the fish on ? If you need any help, just call me, and I’ll come running to help you pull the whale in,” added Mrs. Langham. “Ruth, hugh-h! Bobby dear, hugh-h!” thought Bobby. Down to the lake and on to the dock went the two. “Where’s your hook, Ruthie dear?” asked Bobby, as he put a juicy night crawler on her hook, “There now. If you get a bite, jerk it, an’ don’t holler. You’ll scare the fish.” Down went the hook into the water, As far over on the other side as he could get went Bobby. “Oh-h-h, gotta bite,” shouted Bobby. “Lookie.” He dis- played a five inch sunfish. “Where’s ma stringer,” he asked of no one in particular as the contents of his pocket fell out onto the dock. “Here it is. Ah-h, said Bobby, as he strung the whopper on the stringer, a very dirty one. “I gotta bite, Oh—” such a disappointed “Oh”. “It’s gone, and so’s ma bait”, said Ruth. “Don’t get so excited,” said Bobby. “You’d have thought something big was on your hook. Get on this side. You’re Page fifty-two fishing in a dishpan over there. “Bait it, Bobby, pleaded Ruth. 11 “Naw, the fish are biting good, an’ I can’t stop,” said Bobby, “Bait it yourself.” “What’s this? “Did you catch a fish? “Let’s see it. These words came from a crowd of boys several years older than Bobby. They start- ed on a run down the dock. “My, this is a fish,” they added, as Bobby proudly pro- duced the stringer. “Bobby, bait my hook. Bob-by!” came in shrill tones from Ruth. “Here I am, dear. What do you want, honey?” asked one of the boys. “You’re not Bobby. Oh, Bob-by. Called Ruth again. “Watch out, you’re going to fall off,” said another bad boy, as he grabbed Bobby by the shoulders, and gave him a shove. “Let me alone. I wanta fish,” screamed Bobby. “Your sister asked you to bait her hook,” said another. “My sister? Naw. I had to drag her alcng. Women can’t fish.” “Bob-by,” again that shrill voice. “Oh, shut up. Here, I’ll bait your hook to make you keep quiet,” he added, as he placed his pole carefully on the dock and proceeded to quiet Ruth by baiting her hook. “You’ve got a bite,” several of the boys informed him. “Watch outa my way’,, cried Bobby. A jerk and no fish! “If you’d have let me alone, I’d have got it.” Deciding that it was best to leave the kids alone, the boys went for a row, and soon every- thing was peaceful. The boy and girl made no sound, but still the fish did not come. “They scared all the fish away,” Bobby said finally. Hardly were the words out of his mouth when he felt a jerk. “ I’ve got ’im”, he cried and out on the dock flopped a ten- inch rock bass. Ruth and Bobby jumped up and down in their excitement. “I’m gonna show him to Ma. Ain’t it swell?” he asked. “I’ll say it is”, Ruth replied. Her answer appeared to be the general one, for ten-inch rock bass are not common ones. “We’ll have to go home now. You children can’t fish any more. Did Bobby bait your hook for you, Ruthie?” asked Mrs. Strong. “Yes, ma’am,” replied Ruth, as the pair started off. Bobby carrying the poles, and proudly displaying his rock bass; Ruth still carrying the worms, and perfectly content in letting the man of the house carry the fish. —Esther Preiss, 12A. Page fifty-three TO SHIRK OR NOT TO SHIRK To shirk, or not to shirk—that is the question: Whether ’tis better in the class to suffer The burdens of outrageous teachers here, Or to take pains against the piles of lessons, And by hard work do them? To shirk; to loaf; No more and by shirking to think we end The burdens and the thousand silly questions That school is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To shirk ; to loaf ; To loaf; perchance to flunk—ay, there’s the rub; For with that flunk of ours what E’s may come, When we have wasted thus our precious time, Must give us thought.

In the crowded gymnasium the excited mob were venting their feelings in the yells and songs of their Alma Mater. They were waiting restlessly for their unde- feated team to come on the floor. What a team it was! It had literally run away fiom every othei team in sight. I hey had taken the championship of their league, then of Eastern Pennsylvania, then the State championship followed, and now they were trying to take the National title. It certainly was a team with taking ways. But there had been some close shaves. For instance, that game up at Duquesne where Scotty McGill had come to the rescue, shooting from all sides successfully. Or that game with Munhall, with Thompson running wild, and our guards showing their ability. But where was that team now? Back in the dressing room, faint cheers reached them. The coach had just finished his little talk and Mac was telling them what’s what. Boys,’ he said, “we have to win. There’s nothing else to it. We have the whole school back of us and the glory of our Alma Mater must stand. We can be beat, but we won’t be beat with Wolf there, and_________” B But u olt i-can t p-plav, cried Lordon, rushing into the dressing room in time to catch the last few words. He was so excited, he could scarcely talk. Page fifty-four “Why not?” “Of course he can.” “He has to.” “Who’s going to stop him?” “I will,” said Mr. Fix who had come in with Lordon. “Win or lose, Home- stead will play the game fair and square.” “Boys,” said Coach Gould, “We’ll get no place this way. What’s the trouble, Lordon?” “A fellow just handed this to me out on the campus!” By this time Lordon was slightly cooled down, but his hand shook as he handed the coach a picture of a bas- ketball squad. It had been clipped from a newspaper. It bore the heading, “Cham- pionship Five of the Professional World,” and the names of the players—that was all. The boys looked at the picture dumb-founded and amazed. Could it be true? But it must be. Didn’t it say there as plain as day that the third fellow in the front row was Paul Wolf, captain. And though the picture was blurred, to the excited boys it was the picture of their center. The coach was very much troubled and there was no harshness in his voice when he turned to Wolf. “What does it mean, Paul ?” “Bow” gazed at it in astonishment and then a light seemed to dawn on his be- wildered mind. “Is there a date on that clipping?” “You see there’s only the clipping. Why?” His face clouded again. “Boys, it will sound like a made-up story to outsiders, but you’ll believe me, at least! My uncle, after whom I am named, and whom I re- semble very closely, used to play for the Bright’s Five, a professional team. 1 hat’s all. It was in 1898. If there was a date on that clipping we could settle it.” “I have it. I have it,” Neen was crying, “look.” And there, on the back of the clipping, was a little paragraph---“The Lincoln Monument was unveiled February 27, 1888, just ten years ago today.” Bevlah Thompson, ’11A. A BIG WASH “My lari’, Mrs. Peterson! Mah back’s ’most broke, Ah declare. Ah never thought you’d have sech-y big wash fer me t’do this week. Jes’ think!! It took me ’most all day to do this, and you know Ah alius gets done in t’ree hours. W ith Page fifty-five this, Mrs. Peterson was greeted as she entered her laundry to see why Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson Jones delayed so in the washing. “Big wash?” echoed Mrs. Peterson, “Why, it isn’t any bigger than usual, Mrs. Jones.” “It sho’ am, Ma’am. Jes’ look at it,” stoutly declared the washwoman. “Well, no wonder there’s a big wash!” and young Mrs. Peterson laughed loud and long. “Oh! this is good! You did Mrs. Stretton’s clothes too. Did you forget that only one of the chutes is mine? Do you see that you took the clothes from both? This is mine, and the other is Mrs. Stretton’s,” she showed the astonished laundress. “My lan’! so Ah did. But Ah sho’ am stiff from all dat wash,” repeated Mrs. Johnson Jones. “All right, Mrs. Jones,” laughed Mrs. Peterson, “I’ll pay you for washing all the clothes, though, I declare, Mrs. Stretton should be tickled to death to have her wash all done. You just hang them out, and I’ll take care of the rest,” she said as she patted Mrs. Jones’ shoulder. Mrs. Stretton, 1 have a huge joke to tell you,” laughed Mrs. Peterson as she knocked at the former’s door. “My woman washed all of your clothes when she did mine, and the poor thing was nearly dead. If you’ll just come down, we’ll sort things and everything will be lovely. You’re lucky you had your wash done without trouble.” Without trouble! What do you mean?” fumed Mrs. Stretton. As she saw the pile of dry clothes on the kitchen table, she gasped, “Oh! what a mess!” Now, you pick your things out, and I’ll pick out what’s mine,” graciously said Mrs. Peterson. ell, this is mine, I’m sure,” said Mrs. Stretton. “And these are yours, I know, because I don t darn my stockings!” she added, holding up a pair of stockings, darned at the heels. Yes, they’re mine, replied Mrs. Peterson laughingly, “don’t you think they’re darned nicely?” Presently Mr. Peterson came in. “What’s this?” he asked. When Mrs. Peter- son finished explaining the incident, he roared, “Well, this is the best joke of the sea- son! It’s rich! Ha ha!!” As he sat there and laughed, while Mrs. Stretton fumed and fussed over hand- kerchiefs, Mr. Stretton came up the walk. 1 11 just go out and tell him about this,” laughed Mr. Peterson, beckoning his neighbor. When Mr. Stretton heard of the incident, he too laughed, and, taking his ife s portion of the sorted clothes, said, “Come on, Babe. T his is a good joke on you, and we must thank the Petersons for helping you with your weekly wash, but you’ll have to hustle, ’cause I’m hungry.” Julia J. Concosky,' SPRING Awake, rejoice, thou spirit of my soul, Leave these dark, dismal walks of life behind; And follow me now over yonder knoll, For here dwells nothing that can soothe my mind. Awake, rejoice, I say, the winter’s past, The rain is over and the snow has gone; The springtime of the year has come at last As an earn’d blessing from the Eternal One. The flowers again appear upon the earth, The birds again sing forth their songs of joy, The world is truly full of sounds of mirth As robins sound their first round notes of joy. The trees put forth their tender shoots of green, The young grapes give out an enchanting scent Though hidden by the vine which is a screen. Rise up and follow, though thy heart be rent.

RETROSPECT ’Tis queer, when one thinks o’er the past, How foolish he has been To whine about his high school task Instead of wearin’ a grin. Seems like a dream, his high school days, Those friendships as of yore; Those pals who now are sunshine rays Of days that are no more. His friends, their paths now torn apart, Are gone each his own way But still there lingers in his heart Fond thoughts, ne’er to decay. Like birds bound for a warmer clime His life sinks t’ward the West, And footprints on the sands of time Are treasures he loves best. William Jones.

Of the seven games played, only one reverse was en- countered. The squad was developed, and from it was moulded a team which displayed much aggressiveness and great strength. Its efficiency on the offense may be explained by the fact that it usually gained more ground and points than our opponents. Possessing a strong defense it was scored upon only once and for but six points. The success of the team is due largely to the excellent methods used by Coachs (jould and Hoclzle. John McLean, an alumnus, often helped the squad in over- coming many difficulties. The season was opened at Clairton where Homestead easily defeated that team hy the score of 13-0. The team was anxious to “do its stuff,” and did so with great effectiveness. Then came Braddock. Minus the services of Captain Berger and Paul Wolf, who were injured in the previous game, Homestead entered the fray with a deter- mined and fighting spirit. 1 he ball was carried up and down the field until the last quarter when, with its heavy line having effect, Braddock scored a touchdown, and triumphed by a 6-0 score. I he next game was played with Freedom. After a hard struggle, Homestead came out victorious by the close score of 6-0. Duquesne was next vanquished to the tune of 7-0. T his low score was due to the frequent fumbles by Homestead when near the goal line. Then Ambridge was polished off, 19-0. Homestead started like a Hash and scored a touchdown from a fumble in the first few minutes of play. Homestead next journeyed to McKeesport and overwhelmed that team hy the decisive score of 21-0. Both teams were handicapped by a muddy field. I he season was closed with a victory when Homestead walloped North Brad- dock 25-0. T he entire second team was sent into the game and continued the good work. Page sixty LETTER MEN Captain Harry Berger has completed his fourth consecutive and successful year at fullback. “Weiners” was a good ground-gainer and a terror to all opposing lines. He was chosen on the all-scholastic team by the Pittsburgh newspapers. James King occupied the left halfback position. What he lacked in weight was recovered in speed, and it always took a good man to catch Jimmy when he had the ball. At the other halfback position was Wesley Pfieffer who hit the line hard. With “eight to go” the ball was given to Wes, and he was hard to “drag down.” Cornelius Campbell again sang out (rather barked) the signals. Neenie could always dodge his way with the ball through the players and cross the opponents zero line. He was a good drop-kicker. Ralph Splatt was at his old position of center. He was a strong defensive man and strengthened the line greatly. Babe will be back again next year. William Grove played left guard and did it well. Very seldom a man got past “ 1 uggle,” and when he did, he was in no condition to go further. At the other guard was Sam Hepps, captain-elect. “Teddie” showed up well on the defense, was a hard tackier, and adept at recovering fumbles. Joe Vebulunas was left tackle. On the first play the opposing team found how tough Joe was, and they usually left him alone for the rest of the game. Charles McLean, playing right tackle, finished four seasons of active partici- pation m this sport. “Mac” will be greatly missed next year as he was one of the best defensive and offensive men on the team. Wish you continued success. Mac. John McGeever held down the left-end position. “Bunk,” tall and rangy, had the ability of catching a high forward-pass floating through the atmosphere. Paul Wolf, right-end, was, on his side of the line, a tough barrier for the enemy. “Bow” is of a similar physical build to “Bunk”; and, as each possesses a “long, boarding-house reach,” you may easily understand the difficulty to anyone in trying to “pass ’em up.” Wally May was often sent into the fray as fullback. Bill Splatt, Babe’s brother, played halfback a great part of the season. He was also used at other positions. Mach made good during his several try-outs at quarter-back. Tommy Evans performed well at center. Beedle and Cook showed up well when needed as guards. Begansky or Passifiume, considered as efficient as first-string material, could enter the game as tackle and not alter the strength of the team. Page sixty-one Flaherty and Parry, when given a chance, played so well that the regulars had to hustle to keep their positions. H. Lorden also performed well at end. Captain Berger, McLean, McGeever, Campbell, Beedle, Cook, Lorden, and Passifiume will graduate this year. However, with such good material available, a pleasant outlook for the coming season may be anticipated.

However, the players got together, and William “Scotty” McGill, captain of the ’22 team, was re-elected captain. Coach Guest then formed his team with McGill, center, and “Willie” Harrison, the little boy with the educated toe who plays the out- side right position, as a nucleus. The aim of Coach Guest and his crew was to beat Munhall for the third suc- cessive year and gain permanent possession of the J. W. Benner trophy offered by the Homestead Steel Works. This undertaking was accomplished when the lads from the maroon and white institution were administered two severe drubbings by the wearers of the gold and blue. Of the four games played Homestead was victorious in three, being nosed out in the final game with Knoxville by a score of 2-1 after a hard, clean fight. The following members of the squad earned their varsity letter: Capt. McGill, P. Bullion, R. Bullion, Devey, Jones, Lyle, Sayko, Witherspoon, Harrison, Row- lands, Goga, H. Trautman, Trealor and Manager Davis. The Season’s Record Homestead 0 Homestead 0 Homestead 0 Homestead 2 Total 2 Page sixty-three STATE CHAMPIONS BASKETBALL HOMESTEAD HIGH! W. P. I. A. L. CHAMPIONS; WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA CHAMPIONS; PENNSYL- VANIA STATE CHAMPIONS. The mightiest, the strongest, and the best playing combina- tion in the Keystone State! The season just ended was the most successful and excelled all the other basketball seasons that Homestead has experienced. Coach Gould is some coach (and it’s just a sideline for him) ! To be able to mould a team that won with such decisive scores over all other opponents in the highly touted Elimination Series is an accomplishment that any coach could well be proud of. This wonder combination was the dreaded monster of Sec- tion VII. This section, by the way, contains teams that could have easily placed as far as the final games had they been in any other part of the league. So make an estimation of their ability. And Homestead won over them with ease. . . .out-played, out-generaled them with science and modern methods of attack and defense expounded by Coach Gould. Defeating every team twice with the exception of Braddock, who downed Home- stead on Braddock’s floor, Homestead journeyed over to that new gym of '1 ech’s and defeated McKees Rocks, Monesson, and Beaver Ealls in short order with big decisive scores (all with a difference of over 11 points). Then the slogan, “Penn State or Bust,” became a reality. The team departed and were followed by a train load of rooters who were enabled to attend through the generosity and real sportmanship of Ross 1 homas, a local business man. At Penn State, the Homestead five made quick work of Nanticoke and Harris- burg Tech, defeating both without exerting themselves. Here two subs had a chance to show themselves, and they did it with credit. Then came the big, long dreamed of trip—to Chicago. T his trip meant honor for Homestead. Homestead had won over every other rightful contender for basketball honors in the entire state and were now representing the state for national honors. Page sixty-five At Chicago, Homestead, with a bunch of rooters that took second place only when the rooters of Lane High School, of Chicago, were around, drew a bye in the first round of playing, and at the same time drew Dallas, Texas, as their first oppo- nent. 1 he Oak Clift High School, with their slow, drawling manner, significant of the Lone Star State, came onto the Hoor and put up one of the most finished games of basketball that Homestead has had the pleasure and experience of playing. But Homestead needed a rest, they had skipped from Penn State to Chicago in two days. However, according to the Chicago newspapers, they were the best team that ever played on that particular floor, even though Dallas won by the close score of 35-30 which required two extra five-minute periods of playing. Nuf Sed! At the forward positions Homestead was fortunate in having three men of equal ability: Campbell, McGill, and Parry. his combination worked any way that the Coach planned it, and it was some C O M BINE. Ask some of Dallas’ guards. Campbell, who was, according to some critics, the most finished and the classiest forward in Chicago, stood very high in the scoring in the W. P. I. A. L. circles. His graduation means a big loss to the school. “Excelsior, Jackets!” Parry, the dribbler, the shooter, the fastest man on the floor. But he has another year in which to perform. “Do it again, Paddles.” McGill had the knack of slipping past the guards and “droppin’ ’em in.” He stood very high in the scoring of the league. “On, on, McGill.” At center, was Wolf, all scholastic pick of the W. P. I. A. L. This “elongated boy,” as he invariably was called, was some pippen of a jumper and never was beaten to the ball. 1 he guards were Captain McLean and Pfieffer, often rated, and justly so, as the two best defense men in scholastic circles. Pfieffer was the leading field goal scorer among the guards of the League, and usually his opponent was watching instead of Wes being on the defense. And McLean. Well, he was so good that when the ball happened into his territory, the other team despaired as they watched his undeniably clever passing, feinting and guarding. And the subs. Had Evans, Hepps, Morgan, and McGeever been in any other school they would have been first-string material. Sufficient. Some Team!

A. L. (dt IT InJ IT JL GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM GIRL’S BASKETBALL With a practically new team, our girls went through a very successful season. Losing one player, Nana Rucker, by mid-year graduation, the team won seven of the ten games played, the other three being lost by close scores. The team showed great stamina in the second game with Swissvale, which was lost by a one-point margin. It defeated our old rivals, Munhall High, in a game which was the first to be staged for a number of years. Much credit is due our coach, Miss Riley, for this splendid team which she de- veloped from new material. We regret very much that Miss Riley will not be with us next year. However, with none of the players graduating, it is probable that they will con- tinue her effective style of playing. The team is determined to make a good showing when it is entered in the County League next year. The squad was composed of the following members: Miss Riley, coach; A. Thomas, captain; A. Vebelunas; B. Thompson; G. Bodner; H. Pripton ; J. Bengasky, M. Sabo; D. Lwellyn; O. Treloar; A. Krupinski; C. Weiss, manager.

Page seventy Public, Industry, and I, all made a flying dash for it at the same time. Of course, Industry and I got there first for, years before, time had deprived 1 ublic of her physical activeness. When we reached the desk, Industry and I meditated over the book that lay upon it. It was a very old, and magnificent book. It’s great worn pages were turning yellow with age, and some of the writing was very dim. “Why, it’s a diary,” said Industry. “It surely must belong to Alma Mater, for none but that dear old lady could keep a record so long. It dates away back to the time Alma Orris, Peg Splatt and John Nevin graduated, and they must be as old as Father Time by this time.” “But there, Industry,” I said, “we must not hold a monopoly on the book. Come on, Public, and help us look over this ancient history.” ALUMNI CHRONICLES The year 1920 A. D. In June, 1920, a class of forty-four graduated from the Homestead High School. According to the latest reports, these students have always held up the High School standards. William Caldwell is keeping track of Homestead’s finance in the Mon- Trust Bank. Mary Kovacs is doing her bit for the Mesta Machine Works. James Watson has become a very efficient clerk. At least the Homestead Park people think so. Jimmie is working for the Homestead Park Land Com- pany. Marie Vondera and Frederick Ackerman are working. The Class of 1920 seemed to have a warm spot in its heart for the knowl- edge of the future students. Rose Mary Curran, Irene Skyrmes, and Ruth Stanton have entered the army of teachers. Earl Johnson is a student at Tech. Seven of this worthy class arc graduating from college in the spring of 1924. Page Seventy-one The year 1921 A. D. In June, 1921, a class of forty-three graduated from the Homestead High School. I hey have carried the Gold and Blue into the world of success. Helen M ickulonic has made the Westminster course in three years. Helen also completed the high school course in three years. Wc are sure that Helen will accomplish whatever task she may choose to follow. George Cox is working in the Homestead Steel Works. He is also attend- ing night school. Morris Berger, Bernard Grinbcrg, Marcella Akucewicz, and Julia Mc- Killop are attending the University of Pittsburgh. 1 he Homestead High graduating classes never fail to offer some teachers to the world. So the class of 1921 continued to hold up the record. Edna Hoffman is teaching in Homestead Park, and Roberta Davis is teaching in Homeville. Merle Laird is working in the Homestead Steel Works. The year 1921A. D. I he Class of ’21Y2 was known as the Chosen Twelve. This was the first mid-year graduating class of the Homestead High School. John Sullivan is attending the University of Pittsburgh. Anna Vebelunas, former star forward on the Girl’s Basketball team of I'd, is teaching in Lincoln Place. She is making as great a success at teaching as she did at basketball. I‘ay Dixon has entered the matrimonial school. We hope her course at Schwab will be a great help to her. Especially Miss Roger’s advice about dish washing. The year 1922 A. D. In June, 1922, a class of fifty-eight graduated from the Homestead High School. If you will stop to look through the book of fame, you will find many of the names of the students of this class listed there. Many of the Homestead students have answered the Pharmacy call. Anna Daniels has joined the ranks of this course at Pitt. John Geary is working in the Hays National Bank. Laura Jacobs is making a great success as a teacher. She is employed in Mifflin Township. Margaret MacBeth has added glory to Westminster College. Clarence () Donovan is carrying out the check and balance system in the First National Bank. Marion Silveus has carried her Gold and Blue spirit on to Radcliff College. Wc are sure that she will attain her highest aim. I itt claims many of the Homestead students. Elsie Thompson, Patrick O Hare, Bernard Newell, Josephine Marshall, Dorothy Hahn, Anna Daniels, and Lillian Burkett are representing the class of twenty-two at this school. Page seventy-t u;o The year 1922 2 A. D. The Class of ’22 was the second mid-year graduating class of the Home- stead High School. The students of this class are doing their bit, and are helping to advance the progress of our country. Alexander Muzzy is attending a college in Maryland. May his future al- ways be merry. Albert Carr is working in the Westinghouse. His highest aim is to become a Junior Partner. James Marshall, alias Jimmie, has become one of Carnegie’s Partners, at the Homestead Steel Works. He also has large interests in a chicken farm. Leoretta Trealor is working in Pittsburgh. Martin Fallon, after receiving an appointment from West Point, was un- able to attend. He is now working in the Homestead Steel Works. The year 1923 A. D. The students of the Class of 1923 are making a great success in the busi- ness world. They have entered many different fields of work, and are all making good. Darrell Martin (Daddy), the former news reporter for the High School, is now reporting for the Gazette Times and the Homestead Messenger. Gertrude Scott (Dutch) is not so dutch that she cannot type English for the Westinghouse people. Ralph Stewart has entered the Westminster ranks. Roy O’Donovan is working for the Homestead Steel Works. We are won- dering if they demanded a certificate. Edith Jones and Helen Stewart have cast their lot with the Slippery Rock students. Homestead High is well represented at all the noted colleges. Abe Keizlcr is attending Syracuse University and Raymond Diaz is attending Penn State. Selma Goldston, Margaret Ackerman, and Margaret McCormick are all tramping the wild and wooley road to Candom School. 1 hey are all making a success as teachers. Anna Koval is attending the University of Pittsburgh. She hopes to enter the teachers’ ranks next fall. Eleanor Wall is subing this year. She also hopes to enter the teachers ranks next fall. Josephine Melber is employed by the Mifflin '1 ownship School Hoard this year. The year 1923 2 A. D. The Class of 1923was the third and largest mid-year class to graduate from the Homestead High School. Although these students have not been out in the world of toil any great length of time, thus far they have shown them- selves capable of performing their several duties. Page seventy-three Mae Hudson is now working in Pittsburgh. She hopes to enter the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh next September. Nana and Bernice Rucker have left Homestead and moved to little Wash- ington where they are working. Sare Freeman moved to sunny California where she entered Southern Cali- fornia University. We are sure that Sara will bring this school much glory as she is a champ, at swimming and brought many victories home to Homestead. Elizabeth Boyd is working for the Lincoln Miller Motor Co. But don’t think that she is cranking Fords for she is one of their expert typists. Francis Lordon and James Johnson are working in the Homestead Steel Works. Olive Hanley has joined the stenographers ranks at the Mesta Machine Co. GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE AND NORMAL, 1924 Lucy Chamberlain . Doris Myers ....... Dorothy Nauman . . John Nevin .......
