Let this book serve to render imperishable the impressions that the events of day after day at Homestead have left on the tablets of memory. For such a book as this each reader must be his own inter- preter. Seen through the prism of personal experience, it contains joy, sorrow, humor, pathos, romance, devo- tion, idealism, profundity of thought, and outpouring of mental and physical strength.

The building now occupied by the High School was opened in 1912. Miss Lula Buffington was the first principal. In 1893 she was succeeded bv Mrs. L. J. Williams who remained principal until 1925, when Mr. George Gould took over the duties. The first graduating class in 1890 was composed of three graduates. They have increased from year to year until in 1924, the number had augmented to 74. In 1925, the number had passed the one hundred mark, when one hundred and two pupils received their diplomas. The Mid-year graduation was inaugurated in 1922, the first class having six graduates. In 1929, the eighth mid-vear Commencement, there were forty-one. The greater interest and realization of the value of a High School educa- tion may be realized from the fact that in a span of thirty-nine years, the number of graduates has increased from three to 120.

Of the many things we’ve done in this happy school time. At first so inexperienced, we entered these dear halls. And wandered so bewildered like, ’mid now familiar walls; The friends we found these first few years, were made of finest steel, And gazing at their photographs a sense of pride we’ll feel. True upper-classmen we became—for in both Junior and Senior year Our class was never known to shirk or ever stay in the rear; In the band, and orchestra, play, musicals, and clubs, Our class was represented and not among the “subs”. Our Senior year was crowned with tho’ts of the Championship Basket- ball team. Although on that we had no star, in football we won esteem; The Junior Prom and the Senior play were things we’ll ne’er forget, Then last came graduation and the memory lingers yet. We’ll close this retrospection, which our memories will start— And living o’er our school days will bring gladness to the heart; For to dream the old dreams over will be luxury divine— When your truant fancies wander with this class of twenty-nine.

Their first one was given last year. The activities of the Band this year have been as numerous as ever. They played at all the major football and basket-ball games, and at a number of civic affairs.

[52] The Dramatic Club ‘‘BORROWING TROUBLE” The 12 A’s inaugurated the dramatic season when they presented “Borrowing Trouble”, a one-act comedy, on September 27. The action of the play centered about a would-be rich family, who are in reality very poor. They lived by borrowing. One of the loans, however, resulted in a difficult situation which nearly ends as a catastrophe, but finally turns out well. The personnel of the cast was: George Bfj.l Jefferson Llewelyn Wallace Ashley Wilma Miller Minnie Stanhoff Beulah Giles Jane Grim Annabelle Miller “THE HOUSE OF A THOUSAND THRILLS” The Junior Class gave their premiere dramatic performance in Novem- ber, 1928. Thrills—mystery—ghastly apparitions—wierd sounds that froze the very marrow in your bones—Buddha’s evil curse—stolen emerald neck- lace—beautiful young heiress—all this and more constituted the ingre- dients of “The House of A Thousand Thrills”. Is it any wonder that the play was so successful? The cast kept the audience enthralled from the opening scene until the final curtain. Those taking part in the play were: Charles Coleman Mildred Watkins Anna Schofield Elizabeth Petkanics Catherine McGuire Eva Shissuer John Ewing William Meszor Belle Fogel Arthur Pierce John Horner “A PERPLEXING SITUATION” The Juniors gave their second dramatic contribution to the footlights on December 14, when they presented “A Perplexing Situation”. The play abounds with humorous situations which begin at the rising of the curtain and continue to the end of the play. Women will talk! And if one were told to keep quiet for six hours during which her suitor proposed, receiving no answer, and an uncle arrived and—the result? A Perplexing Situation! The Juniors again proved that they have unusual dramatic talent in their midst. This cast was composed of the following: Frank Ficery Mary Hiller George Hopwood Doris White Anna May Gessner Katherine O’Neal Margaret Munroe Mary Thomas Robert Wright Ruth Nuss Hal Tray Bruce Sutton John Hepburn [54] The Dramatic Club “WHY NOT JIM?” The Sophomores gave an invigorating performance of “Why Not Jim , a lively one-act comedy on January 22. The scene of the action is laid in the country home of an author who is vainly attempting to write a book. His wife's family cause him a lot of trouble; he decides to have revenge. So when a garden party is arranged and a foreign count is coming to read the palms of the guests, the author substitutes a friend of his, just arrived from the West with a coat of tan and two million dollars. Complications arise, but are finally settled to the satisfaction of all. The cast gave a splendid per- formance. Isabelle Furlong Alma Kritko Ruth Kunkle Anna Davis Olga Kubancek Harry Harrington Hilda Harkins Paul Lesko Robert Jenkins Another of the series of one-act plays given this year was the one-act comedy, “Hans Von Smash”. This performance was presented on March 27 by a mixed cast of Sophomores and Juniors. Hans is a Dutch immigrant, just arrived in America. He applys to a Mr. Batch for work. And soon proved that he has a name very well suited to his personality. For all the things he ruins and all the trouble that he causes one would say that he needed to be “Smashed”. However, in the end Mr. Batch manages to get him tamed to the point of endurance. The cast was as follows: “HANS VON SMASH” Arthur Stumpe Edward Barter Robert Schein William Schmitt Freda Katz Gladys Strutt Anna Mary Clever [55] THE Dramatic Club this year did not have the usual regular meetings, but spent the time in practical work. All during the year there was some group working on a play. In this way, there was more actual work done and more practical experience gained. For all of our plays this year we were fortunate in having a very capable stage crew. John Hamilton, who has been in charge of the back stage work for three years graduates this year. Norman Weyel who has been very faithful in his duties also leaves us. However, we have Edgar Cosgrove from last year. Jack Horner, William Meszor and Walter Stankunas. who will have Senior Class Play •THE BRIDGE BURNER” THE Senior Class play “The Bridge Burner” was presented in the audi- torium the second and third of May. The action of the play revolved about an eccentric young man whose chief interest in life is Science. He becomes involved in an experiment to attempt to ascertain the reason for the sudden demand for some supposedly worthless swampland in Louisi- ana. The deliniation and unfolding of the character in the roles were ex- ceptionally well portrayed by the cast. The play holds the interest and at- tention of the audience from the first scene to the final curtain. The cast gave an accomplished and smooth performance of the play.

This Club furnished its mem- bers with entertainment as well as knowledge, informing them in an interesting way about Roman mythology, customs, amusements, laws and dress. The outstanding event of the year was a visit to the Latin department of the University of Pittsburgh. The group saw a great many unique Roman relics and articles used in the daily life of the Romans. Officers [63] President Vice-President Secretary William Trautman ...... Ona Bardzil ......

They met every two weeks, hut did not have formal meetings as the other Clubs did. Their time was spent in making posters, which satis- fied a great need to the school. The number of posters they made this year is almost limitless. These posters advertised all the plays, concerts, games, parties, and in fact all the activities and holidays of the year.

The club has been very active this year. It has cooperated with the Senior organization making a survey of the town and starting a safety movement in the schools. Two trips to local firms were also taken by the members. There are twenty-four members from Homestead High School and eight members from Munhall High School.

This voung man sailed through all the preliminaries with Hying colors. At the final meeting of the East District he was awarded first place which made him eligible to compete in the final meeting of Allegheny County held at Carnegie Music Hall, North Side. At this meeting, Quick was an outstand- ing and popular contestant. He was awarded third place by the judges. He was very close in the number of points to the winners of the first and second awards. The subject of his oration was ‘‘The Constitution of the United States.” The oration was a noteworthy achievement in both composition and delivery. W'e are proud to claim him as a member of our student body. t' 9] [70] [71] Athletic Coaches and Manager MISS JANET KAY Girl’s Athletic Coach The girl’s Athletic Coach. Miss Janet Kay, a graduate of Sargeant Univers- ity completed her first year here as athletic director in a noteworthy manner. Miss Kay developed a girl’s basketball team that acquitted itself in a most satisfactory manner and gave evidence of skillful and thorough coaching. Miss Kay planned and conducted her gym classes so that they were enjoy- able and beneficial. Her gym courses were very popular with the student body. Miss Kay proved a very popular and valuable addition to the faculty of the school. MR. WILLIAM CAMPBELL Boy’s Athletic Coach Mr. Campbell capped his fifth year of splendid work as boy’s athletic direct- or by producing a Championship basketball team that captured the W. I’. I. A. L. Championship of 1929. The victories of the team were in a great measure due to the brilliant and incessant work of Coach Campbell in developing that smooth machine-like, almost unbeatable combination that was the basketball team of ’29. The football team under the experienced coaching of Mr. Campbell gained the respect of their opponents in every game and earned the reputation of clean play and sportsmanship. Mr. Campbell’s outstanding work in the field of athletics has placed him among the best and most noteworthy of coaches. MR. D. O. THOMAS Athletic Business Manager Mr. D. O. Thomas, a graduate of the Bowling Green Commercial School of Kentucky and head of our commercial department, was appointed Faculty Ath- letic Manager early last fall. Mr. Thomas is unusually well suited and fitted for this important office. His wide experience in commercial affairs enabled him to perform his duties as Athletic Manager in a very satisfactory manner. [72] JANET KAY WILLIAM V. CAMPBELL D. O.

Nevertheless, he was not discouraged, and so he endeavored to build his team early. Practices were held before school opened in September on West Field. The team emerged victorious in two games, tied one, and lost five. But “sweet revenge” will be the expression next year, when all but two of this years players will return. •siGiczz zbCix iasa [76] Cheerleaders OUR talented and versatile cheerleaders were of invaluable assistance in all our games this year. Charles Nelson, head cheerleader, directing the cheers with vim and enthusiasm was an invigorating sight to hehold whether on the rough sod of the football field or the smooth surface of the basketball floor. Wade Baird shared honors equally with Nelson performing his breath taking acrobatic feats with an extraordinary display of skill and dexterity. William Smith the diminutive freshman cheerleader showed great promise in all the games of developing into a splendid cheerleader. 1 7] VARSITY B. B. TEAM 1929 W. P. I. A. L. Champions HOMESTEAD for the second time in its athletic career, emerged victorious in the W. P. I. A. L. championship this year, when they so victoriously carried through such a successful season. Coach Campbell must be credited for fringing this team through; no man ever worked harder nor more consistently than did he. He built a combination from two veterans, Oates and Johnston, that won their section and became the Western Pennsylvania Champions. Eugene Oates, captain of this aggregation was picked as one of the best centers in the Championship series. Paul Birch, the lad who made such a name for himself by his spectacular playing was picked as the most valuable man in Western Pennsylvania. Walter Johnston, our midget forward who also received a birth on the all star team of the W. P. I. A. L. since, must be remembered, for “Tick” was a hard fighter. George Sertick was another main cog in the Homestead quintet. “Yetz” played a stellar game all season and was never to be caught napping. bred Bair did his share to bring the team through, for Fred was an ever ready, dashing cavalier, who never let a loose ball lie idle. Of course, patiently waiting for their chance were Delaney, Kalupson, Miller, Berger, and Sullivan. [78] VARSITY RESERVES 1929 W. P. I. A. L. Champions 1929 W.P.I.A.L.

First is Captain Coe. She’s right there with the ball. When this guard gets a forward, there is no forward at all. Antoinette, our center, can anyone outjump. To lose her, will surely he some bump. Speaking of peppy side centers, Weedie’s right there, She just seems to pick the ball right out of the air. Here’s to Eloise! Whatever you will. Seeing her sink baskets is surely a thrill. Our forward, Ruth Martin, although she’s small Can show you all how to handle the ball. Meet Hudak. a guard. She sticks like gum, The forward that she’s playing surely does look bum. Then there’s Freda to take our Center’s place She does her share in any case. Another forward like Moyta must be sought Because this girl’s really a good shot. Any position can sub, Sloan, play And she’ll ruff up the game--any day. We must not forget Doran. Freed, and Bair For, when in the game, they always did their share. Not to be forgotten are Coach Kay and Manager Tomlinson For, of all they did, may be said, “Well done!” [82] Girl’s Hiking Club TliH Girl’s hiking c'ub had a very successful and enjoyable year under the supervision of Miss Janet Kay, the Girls’ Athletic Director. The club attracted an unusually large number of girls this year. Due to this fact it was divided into two groups, one composed of Senior girls and the other of Juniors. Each group took a very delightful hike early in the fall. The Juniors also had a very pleasant skating party at Duquesne Gardens. The club played a prominent part in extra curricula activities and was an enjoyable and beneficial part of school life. [83] THE Intcrclass Basketball games were participated in by both the girls and boys leagues. In the boys league the coveted championship title and numeral awards were captured by the Juniors. Strong, steady play combined with brilliant passing and shooting were the key- notes in the Junior aggregation. The two outstanding teams in the league were the Sophomores and the Juniors. In the final game of the year the Juniors defeated the hard fighting Sophs in a fast and thrilling game. Murphy starred for the Juniors and Feldmand and Miller shared honors for the Sophs. In the girls league the Seniors carried away the honors with flying colors. The final game of the series was between the Junior and Senior quintets. The game displayed some fast and clever playing by both teams. The outstanding stars of the team were G. Gerhold and L. Kite although the entire Senior team were of championship caliber.

PITTSBURGH, PA [ill] Ten Reasons Why You Should Patronize The Individual Merchant: 1. He encourages the Boy Scout Movement, which makes men that are able to take care of themselves, and in case of trouble can defend the Community or the Nation. 2. He supports your schools, education making the world a better place in which to live, and giving a perfect ease of mind. We are now touring the elements of education. 3. He supports your churches. The individual merchant donates liberally and is usually identified with some church himself. Churches are mould- ing the morals and making the character of the boys and girls of today, who will be the men and women of tomorrow. 4. He helps the distressed. We have more or less distress around us at all times,—sickness, accident, providential, all to which the individual mer- chant is ready and willing to contribute aid and extend credit. 5. He is interested in the betterment of your city. A better city makes more business, and enhances the value of property. It gives the merchant courage to have a bigger and better store, with more protection of foods. 6. He contributes to all social affairs. City social affairs usually are bene- fited greatly by good merchants, who can be relied upon for good foods, wearing apparel, utensils, good and immediate service. 7. He supports your banks. Individual merchants support your banks to the extent of all he has. He deposits all his money there, he borrows all he needs there and in return gives all his holdings for security, making the bank a very safe place for savings accounts. What is a city without a good bank? 8. He builds his home here. The individual merchant builds his own home in the community in which he does business, paying taxes, adding to the population, and spending money in the upkeep of property, thus keeping the money in the Community in which it was earned. 9. He is your neighbor and does not have to go to some distant city for in- structions. He cannot afford to have a bad character. He must dress himself and family respectably and take part in all respectable social affairs that cross his way. He is constantly under the public eye and very little censure will curb his business affairs. 10. He adds to your society. He is your neighbor, and when your neighbor says a few words against you, it multiplies by twelve; so whether a mer- chant wants to or not, he must be a good neighbor or go out of business. Censure will do the job. GEORGE EWING BROTHER Meats and (groceries 223 E. Eighth Ave. Homestead, Pa. [112] HALF BROTHERS Happy Home Furnishers 120-122 EAST EIGHTH AVE. HOMESTEAD, PA.

IS2S [117] THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF HOMESTEAD “The Oldest Batik in Homestead” SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES - $3—$5—$10 PER YEAR A Bargain in Money YOUR dollars will buy a bargain in money as well as in merchandise. For example, with $1 you can buy $1.49 (4% semi-annual compound interest for 10 years). This table shows how much money you can buy in 10 years by saving a small amount regularly each month. Amount saved Amount saved Compound Total Wealth monthly in 10 years interest in 10 years $ 5 ' $ 600 $ 137.45 $ 787.45 10 1,200 274.90 1,474.90 25 3,000 687.25 3,687.25 50 6,000 1,374.50 7,374.50 100 12,000 2,749.00 14,749.00 Compare the first and last columns. Note, for instance, that $25 a month grows to $3,687.25 and that $687.25 of this is compound interest. More important than the amount you save is the regularity with which you save it. Even a small sum saved regularly will become a big amount in a few years. To make it easy for you we will accept deposits by mail. MONONGAHELA TRUST CO.
