Ihe Blue and Gold 5E.MI0RS Hio H ClftSS Page Fourteen Class Of 1926 m The days ere we prepared to leave you Old School which has cherished our hope, Wrought sadness and despair unto those Within graduation s great scope. No thought did we give for the morrow, Though it holds great treasures in store. Yet this all failed to vanquish our sorrow, For to us such thoughts were a bore. Four short years ago as mere freshmen We entered this high school, so dear, Our hopes were well fixed on the ending Of a supposed tiresome career. And soon into ranks somewhat higher We moved to the Sophomore class, For greater deeds we did aspire Until we were Juniors at last. But yet we were mere under-classmen, Subjected to strict Senior rule; Ne'er the less, our importance was well known And ive were assets to the school. So many great feats were accomplished Until Junior ranks were too trite, And thus, we became honored Seniors, And proceeded to yet hold the light. Activities, socials, and functions Chapel exercises or plays, If Seniors were there with their merits. They did prove successful always. But now as this Senior life passes, We pause with a breath and a sigh, For what e'er we have been in our classes, We owe it to Homestead High. Malvin R. Goode, 25 2.

Page Thirty-three The Blue and Gold DR the second consecutive year the class of 1926 has used the Cabinet System to govern the class. The cabinet this year assumed an ad- vanced form, since all committee chairmen had to sit in the cabinet. This made the efficiency of the cabinet higher, because it brought to- gether the leaders of all the class activities. This system of government was first introduced last year in the school with the idea of giving more class members a chance to take an active part in class govern- ment and activities. The use of this system has cut down the need of class meetings to a minimum. Six members were elected from each of the two Senior Report Rooms. 1926 Room 101 Fred A. Miller John R.

During 1926 they con- tinued their good work of the previous year. The Dramatic Club was one of the most popular organizations in the High School, having a membership of about one hundred. Due to the large membership, it was impossible for all members to be given the opportunity of acting before an audience. Several one act plays were produced, each play having a double cast. The most outstanding work of the Club, for the year was the production of a three act play, “The Intimate Strangers.” Officers Emii. Havrilla, 1st. Semester Daniel O’Connor, 2nd.

Johnston was presented on May 20 and 21 by the Senior Class of Homestead High. The plot of the play was excellent. Henry Brown, an artist and Paul Green, a playwright, are pals. They had been very unfortunate in not being able to sell their pictures and plays. Consequently, they were, to put it mildly, financially embarrassed. Landlady, laun- dryman, and bill collectors rapping at their door and unexpectedly entering kept the pals at a fever heat. An art collector, one day, enters the studio and buys a picture, which she con- siders remarkable, though in reality, it was sold to her up side down. This gives the pals an idea; they begin swindling the public by selling their pictures and stories up side down. Sophie Bland, a dancer, and May Dexter, a newspaper reporter, capture the affections of the young men. Mrs. Podge, the landlady, O’Mallv the janitor, Smudge the valet, Cap the wanderer and Josephine the deserted wife of Cap are other characters in the play. Henry and Paul are kept in constant terror, thinking that the police are after them for swindling the public. With their financial gains they decide to stop their policy of swindling and embark on the sea of matrimony with Sophie and May. The deserted wife also gets her husband, Cap, back. Comedy galore was in this play. The antics of the pals kept the audience in hysterics during the whole performance. It was one of the best liked plays that has ever been presented by a group of High School students. The Cast Edgar Cosgrove Henry Brown Daniel O’Connor ...............

This contest was national and international, including United States. England, France, Germany, Mexico, and Canada. The subjects of the orations were on the Constitution of the United States, were ten minutes in delivery and were to have been original. Twenty-five orations were written by Homestead High students, of which seven were chosen as the best. On March 16 these seven delivered their orations in the High School Auditorium before an audience of townspeople and High School pupils. Three prominent men of Homestead acted as judges. David Glick, who has been prominent in debating and oratorical work during his High School career, was selected as the winner. The subject of his oration was “The Constitution.” On April 16, the district meet of seven High Schools was held at Hraddock. Our representative delivered his oration before this combined audience in a verv commendable manner. Although he was not chosen as the winner of the district, yet his oration was quite comparable to those of the other contestants. David was also in the Chemical Essay Contest, in which he came out second to Nellie Collobert. I'age Fifty-six Class Of 1926 Cl lemical .Bzssay Contest Nellie Collobert IS year, the American Chemical Society has again conducted the hemical Prize Essay Contest with the funds provided by Mr. and Irs. Francis P. Garvan of New York. As in the two previous years, six scholarships to Yale, Vassar and other prominent Colleges with tuition fees and $500 annually for four years were awarded to the national winners of this contest. Only the first prize winners in the state and United States Territorial contests are eligible to compete in the national contest. Prizes of $20 in gold are awarded for the best essay written on each of the six designated subjects in each of the States and 1 erritorial Possessions of the United States. Nellie Collobert, ’26, won the first prize in the state of Pennsylvania on the subject “The Relation of Chemistry to National Defense.” This indeed is an honor to her and to Homestead High School as well, for when we consider that, of the thousands of essays written on that subject from hundreds of high schools over the state, her’s is the best, we must then indeed feel proud to have Nellie Collobert in our graduating class. Her winning essay will be submitted to the national contest. Tine class of ’26 sincerely hopes that Nellie will be one of the final winners.

It’s only requirement was that those who w ished to join must have had at least five semesters of mathematics. _The purpose of this club was to create greater interest in mathematics among girls. The advisor of the club was Miss Wilds. meetings were held every week. At each meeting, there was a definite program. Subjects such as “Mathematicians”, “The Origin of Mathematics”, Mathematical Signs , etc. were discussed at the meetings.

The Senior boys showed such a great desire to increase their understanding of higher mathematics, that their thirst for knowledge carried the club to a great height of success. This Club is already organized for next year, so that they will be able to start work earlier next year than they did this year. The weekly programs were varied and interesting. Some of the most impor- tant achievements were: the study of the slide rule, the history of Mathematics, the study of the lives of great mathematicians, and to work and devise practical prob- lems. I'he members’ only regret was, that they did not have the benefits of the or- ganization for the whole four years of their High School course.

But then, credit must go to them for having the pep to stick to it. This was their first year as a Glee Club; the results obtained were very good considering the amount of time spent practicing. 1 his Club, the only active one of its kind, was organized in December. From that time on, all Senior girls who were interested in singing could be found, every Tuesday morning, during the fourth period, in Mr. Gray’s room. And sing! Well, just ask Mr. Hoelzel. “Marvelous” That is what was thought of the harmony. At first, every girl thought that she sang first soprano; but finally, Mr. Gray through much talking, persuading, and threatening, divided the group into first and second sopranos and first and second altos. Out of this group, grew the Double Quartette, which is so well known. I his quartette has performed several times in Chapel and also at the Oratorical Contest. So you see, there must be something in it when they say “We’re pretty good.” Page Sixty-one Fhe Blue and Gold Page Sixty-two Class Of 1926 1 ike Orcikestra UR High School Orchestra is one of which we can be proud. Mr. Gray has worked very hard to develop a good one this year; but he has not worked in vain. You will agree with this statement, if you have heard them play at Chapel or at any of the plays held during the past year. As is usually the case, Mr. Gray had very little trained material at the be- ginning of the year. To develop an orchestra requires a great deal of work. Of course, there were a fewr pupils who could play instruments, but they had had no orchestra experience. Then, too, the pupils were a little shy about making their musical ability known. But after the first appearance of the “orchestra,” there were more applicants than there were positions. Mr. Gray has great hopes for this group of young musicians. By next year, he hopes to have added string bases, ’cello and violas to the present group of instru- ments. He hopes too that he will not be handicapped by the lack of clarinets, as was the case this year. The greatest prospect for next year is a group of concerts by the orchestra. It is hoped that the Orchestra will be good enough not only for concerts in our own school, but that they will be able to play elsewhere as well.

Year after year, a band has been the chief ambition of the Music Director, and now Mr. Gray has fulfilled that ambition. The band of the Homestead High School is established and has made itself known to the people of the town. It made its first public appearance at the Turtle Creek game. It was a great surprise to all to hear how well the boys could play. It played at a good many of the games and at the “pep” meetings, each time attaining more and more success. Of course, it was no easy accomplishment to make the band what it is. Mr. Gray was held back in many ways. Several pupils of last year, who were mu- sicians, did not return this year so Mr. Gray had to train a new set of students. This was difficult, because he has been a member of this faculty only one year and is not very well acquainted with Senior High Students. He had to depend upon their coming to him. This method of organizing a band is usually slow and not very satisfactory, but finally he was able to get the group together, and as a result quite a worthwhile band. Mr. Gray has great prospects for his band. They are going to practice this summer so that next year, they will be able to start their work at the beginning of the year. There will be about thirty pieces in next year’s band, if all plans work out. Then, he tells us, we shall have a band for our pep parades, our pep meetings our football, and basketball games.

Page Sixty-six ' Class Of 1 9 26 Page Sixty-seven The Blue and Gold At111etic Council] HE control of all athletic activities, at Homestead is in the hands of the Athletic Council. This council consists of Mr. Gould, (the principal), Mr. Campbell, (the athletic coach), Mr. Fix, (the faculty manager) and three students. The students are appointed on their merit, by the school officials. This year, those appointed were Richard Neundorf, Edward Goga, and Howard Nuss. This council has the power to govern all activities affiliated with athletics. The most important of their duties is to select managers for the different branches of athletics. Since Homestead is so fortunate as to have a faculty manager, the duties that would fall to the council are taken care of by Mr. Fix. Jerome Schwarts has been appointed football manager for 1926 season. The other managers will be appointed next year. Page Sixty-eight 4 Class Of 1926 OUR COACHES C oarli Oampfcell Homestead’s Athletics are under the capable leadership of Coach iCampbell. Air. Campbell has developed good teams fiom mediocre material. His teams have ranked with the best in the W. P. I. A. L. His basketball quintet was in the race for the championship; while his swimming and football teams were both very successful. Under his leadership, interclass basket- ball again flourished. From these groups, he has developed players of great ability for next year’s squad. William V. Campbell Coack Lockard M iss Lockard, serving her second term as Director of Girl’s Athletics at Home- stead High has gained renouned fame, as a Coach. The Homestead Girl’s team, under her direction, won the Section II title. For the second time in the history of the school, Girl’s interclass basketball en- joyed a most successful season, under the very capable coaching of Miss Lockard. Lucie A.

Coach Campbell had but regulars, with which to form the nucleus of the fast, aggressive team that faced such powerful football machines as,—California, Norwin, and Elwood City. Besides these obstacles, Homestead was forced to play all games away from home, since the Duquesne Steel Works Field, for which “home” games were scheduled, is several miles from the High School. The results of the opening game of the season, against Clairton served to brighten Homestead’s prospects. Clairton used all the football prowess and knowl- edge of which she was capable; but it went to naught against the ability displayed by the Steelers. Homestead’s powerful baekfield ran the ends and hit the line for substantial gains consistently. Much credit is due the line for the victory, as it made the necessary holes for the baekfield to use on gains. Their defensive playing was superb. Homestead then traveled to California, Pa.; here they received a 7-0 set-back. Evincing a complete reversal of form, Homestead next traveled to Arnold, and handed the football warriors of that school a 65-6 defeat. Norwin High, State Champions during 1924, were next met. The Steelers eliminated Coach Clawson’s powerful aggregation by holding them to a scoreless tie. The next game, however, was quite a setback for our team. They met defeat at the hands of Duquesne, 12-0. This defeat can probably be laid to the fact that, Homestead was overconfident as a result of their showing against Norwin. McKeesport, who, the previous week, had handed Duquesne a defeat, were held to a scoreless tie bv the Steelers. In this contest, Homestead was in scoring distance time after time, hut did not have the necessary punch to put the ball over. In the final game of the season, Homestead played Ellwood City. Here, they met Peck Lee’s W. P. I. A. L. Championship eleven. Tom MacMurdo and his warriors defeated the Steelers 31-0. Homestead’s record is not very impressive with two victories, two ties, and three defeats; yet it was not disastrous, because we had a fast first class squad, com- pelled to play the best elevens in this section of the State. With eight varsity men back and quite a few experienced substitutes, a first class squad is anticipated for the coming year.

Forward Page Seventy-three The Blue and Gold Page Seventy-four Class Of 1926 iBaskef-BialJ Season o:f S a result of the untiring efforts of Coach Campbell, Homestead was again represented on the basketball floor with a fast and powerful quintet. They finished second to Duquesne in the race for section honors after completing the excellent record of fifteen victories out of eighteen games. Inexperienced players, with the exception of Captain Morgan, recruited from last year’s interclass league formed the nucleus of this fast team. In the first league game of the season, Jeannette was defeated 21-7, although Homestead’s work was a little rugged. This victory was immediately followed by wins over H rad dock, and Latrobe; in these games Homestead showed signs of be- coming section winners. But Homestead’s Championship aspirations took a de- cided setback when they were defeated by Duquesne by the score of 13-12 in a game that was brimful of thrills. Not to be discouraged, Homestead profited by this defeat and handed defeats to Norwin, Munhall and North Braddock and paved the way to a tie for first place. Coming to Homestead, smarting from defeats handed to them by Braddock and Duquesne, Turtle Creek sprang the surprise of the season by “taking home the bacon” to the tune of 22-19. Not to be caught off guard again, however, Homestead easily vanquished Jeannette, Braddock, and Latrobe, but acci- dents will always happen as was the case when Homestead lost an almost sure game to Duquesne. They had led throughout the game, only to lose it in the last thirty seconds. This game was significant because it decided the league leadership, bail- ing to become downhearted, Homestead played better ball and finished the season in a royal fashion taking over Norwin, Munhall, North Braddock and 1 urtle Creek in rapid succession, thus ending a season that was enjoyed by all. No stars can be chosen as it is futile to pick out stars from an all star team. They played exceptionally well under the direction of Captain Morgan at all times. 'This is the first year Homestead has not entered the W. P. 1. A. L. finals but with the services of Berger, Balbach, Stephens, Slater, Rowlands and Rogers and additional interclass and varsity second stars, a championship quintet is ex- pected for next year. T SR T Page Seventy-five The Blue and Gold V arsity Secomtis FAST and aggressive quintet represented the Varsity Seconds on the floor and established an impressive record of six victories and two defeats for the season. This team displayed remarkable ability in all its games and should be well represented on the varsity squad next year. It is composed of players who graduated from the Inter-class League, where they had cleverly displayed their basketball ability throughout several seasons. Johnson and Oates handled the forward positions, Williams held down center in a manner worthy of a veteran. Stanton and Philips played guards. Pierce, Gribble, Sullivan, and Gollogly were very dependable substitutes. Season Record Homestead 14 M unhall 20 H omestead 18 N.

They have won eleven consecutive victories out of twelve games. The one game was lost to the Allegheny County Champions, Aspinwall. This is the first season that the girls’ team has been in the Alle- gheny County League, the only League of its kind in this section. Play- ing against Edgewood, East Pittsburgh, North Braddock, Munhall and other teams in our section of the League, Homestead came through without a defeat. This gave them the right to represent Section II in the Championship Tournament, at Trees Gymnasium, where they tasted defeat for the first time in almost two years, having won twenty-three consecutive games. Graduation is taking two of our mainstays from next year’s line-up, Captain Gizella Bodner and ex-captain Alfreda Thomas. Both girls have played a note- worthy game for Homestead. They will be very much missed, and their vacancies will be hard to fill. The inter-class teams, however, keep new material in the process of develop- ment, so that a few will be able to step into the vacancies. We are looking for- ward to a very successful season next year.

Although a Bovs’ inter-class league has been in exist- nce for a number of years, it has never before attained the success hich it now enjoys. The Girls’ inter-class league has been in existence only two years, during which Miss Lockard has accomplished a very great deal in developing winning teams. Both Mr. Campbell and Miss Lockard realize that inter-class basketball is the best and only way to develop material for the Varsity squads. Six members of this year’s Boys’ Varsity team participated in the inter-class league last season. Three of these players were regulars. The Girls’ team was also composed of former inter- class stars; these Miss Lockard developed into a sectional winning team. In the boys’ division, honors were captured bv the Juniors, after a tough battle throughout the season with the Sophomores. However, the Sophomores in the final game of the regular schedule trounced the Champs by a 47-24 score. In the play- off the upper-classmen gained revenge and won by a 22-18 victory, but it was a hard fought game. A number of stars were discovered, who should make a strong bid for the Varsity of next year. The girls representing the Sophomores won the Championship in their division in a very impressive manner. They won every game they played. However, the Juniors gave them a tough battle for this leadership throughout the season, and finished a close second. Close guarding and accurate shooting featured in all the games. Several new prospects for next year’s Varsity were discovered also among the girls’ teams, as a result of the inter-class league games.

The Seniors did not finish the league games very high in the ranks, but made a fairly creditable showing. Two of their four defeats were by one point margins, and both these were administered by the Sophomores. These Sophs proved to be the Senior’s jinx throughout the life of the League. The Championship Junior Quintet was defeated by the Seniors, although they avenged this set-back later by handing their upper-classmen a dose of the same medicine.

P. I. A. L. High School Championship for Western Pennsylvania. Although they did not win the coveted Championship, they opened up a way for future tennis stars,'from the Homestead High School. Both Griffith and Knight were members of the Championship team that de- feated Duquesne University H‘igh 5-0, and Munhall 4-0. Results—First Round Griffith and Right bye in first round. Second‘Round Griffith defeated Chalfont of Shadyside Academy 4-6; 6-4; 8-6. Right defeated Fulton of. Duquesne 1-6; 6-3; 8-6. Third Round Griffith was defeated by O’Loughlin of Peabody 6-3; 6-1. O’Loughlin entered the finals. Right was defeated by R. Clemson of Shadyside in a hair line decision 7-5; 3-6; 9-7. Clemson also entered the semi-finals of match play. Considering that this was the first venture in a large tournament, the match play by these boys can be considered successful. It is a fact that they were the most successful Homestead High entries ever to take part in such a tournament. Page Eighty-seven Page Eighty-eight c LASS Of 1926 Senior Bowling League 1GHT in step with the Class of 1926’s progressive spirit, was the Bowling League. This is the first time in the history of the school that such an undertaking was successfully accomplished. When the first announcement was made that a bowling league was to be formed, the Seniors were all very anxious to enter the new sport. This was typical of the Class. Although many of the Seniors had never attempted to bowl before, still their ambitions were not dampened. Centered around stars such as Gilliard, Barchfield, Larder, Humenick and Walsh, the team soon took definite form and developed first rate combinations. Much credit must be given to Richard Neundorf and George Schein for form- ing and handling the League in such a competent way. The Smitties and Haupts raced week after week to gain first place, but the consistent bowling of the Smitties kept them a step ahead and finally won them the Championship. League Standing W. L.

Page Eighty-nine The B l u E n d Go L D s wimmimg I earn R the first time in the history of the school, Homestead was represented ith a first class swimming team, which entered the Western Penn- lvania inter-scholastic meet and finished runners-up to the champion chenley High swimmers. Schenley took first honors, scoring twenty- nine points. Homestead was second, with a total of twenty-four points. The other schools were far behind in total points. Homestead, with but six swimmers entered, made an excellent showing. George Vallowe won the 220 yard free style in 2:34. Ed Goga finished second in this event, while Sherman Law took second honors in boys’ fancy diving and the 100 yard breast stroke. Homestead’s relay team, composed of Jack Davis, Sherman Law, Ed Goga, and George Vallowe established a new record for the 160 yard relay in the fast time of 1:26, clipping one and one-fifth second of the former record held by Schenley, who finished second in this event. Due to the fact that the meet was limited to tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade pupils, Harry Law, a ninth grader, of Homestead High, was unable to participate. 1 his was a great loss to Homestead, because Harry is always a sure winner in the 40 yard and 100 yard free style. Page Ninety Class Of 1926 Senior Gir Is Jiulong dual) Senior Girls’ Hiking Club was organized February 9, 1926. The object of the Club was to create a greater interest in out-door life. Many enjoyable hikes were made by this group. Their hikes were taken after school, under the supervision of Miss Wilds. Miss Wilds has been a great help to the Club; she has taught the girls many things about camping. It was a very successful year for the Club; the Senior Girls regret very much that they will not be here next year to enjoy it again.

The mem- bers have learned a great deal about camping and outdoor life. Seventeen girls compose the club. They organized in November; their first meeting was held in the gymnasium. At this meeting the officers of the Club were elected. One of their hikes was to Beckers farm. After this hike, they had a social meeting, which was a very enjoy'able one.
