On the staff this year were several underclassmen. The reason for their being chosen is that, contrary to the views of former years, the Homesteader is not solely a book for the Seniors but a history of the year’s activities in which all classes par- ticipate. The student body selected many on the staff. The class of 1930 elected the editor and business manager while the underclassmen elected their own members. The staff received wonderful consideration and cooperation from every student and faculty member in the school. The Senior class was of great help especially along the lines of advertising, since many of the Seniors voluntarily offered to solicit adver- tisements. However, since the volume of offers was so enormous, only the names of those who sold over one hundred dollars worth of advertising space appear on the staff. The staff of 1930 passes along the yearbook work to the class of 1931, hoping that ultimately the school will have, by the cooperation of the students “the model yearbook.” The Staff of the Homesteader Editor-in-Chief.................................Mary Boyle Business Manager.........................

PORT ECKLES Superintendent of Homestead Public Schools The Big Top Forty years ago Homestead was greatly enriched by the founding of the Homestead High School. It originally occupied the building on Fourth Avenue, which is now the First Ward School. Eighteen years ago the present home of the H. H. S. on Twelfth Avenue was opened with Mrs. L. J. Williams as its principal. She retained the position until 1925 when Mr. George Gould took over the duties. The first graduating class of 1890 was composed of three graduates. The fortieth May graduating class contained the considerably larger number of 140. This increase in the number of graduates shows conclusively the awakening of the town to the value of a High School education.

His work was carried on without a break by his successor, Jack Poole. The Broadcaster under the supervision of Miss O’Brien and Mr. Barclay functioned on entirely new policies this year. During the first few issues the staff concentrated on improving its style of news writing until the news articles were condensed concise and easily read. By the columns of “Believe It or Not,” “Wanderings and Wonderings” and “Personals,” the humor element was introduced into the paper. The Staff visited the Messenger building and were greatly interested in the work which they saw there. In January, Charles Coleman held a banquet for the Staff who turned out in full force for a most enjoyable evening. M iss O’Brien and Mr. Barclay have more plans for the coming year and. if all things turn out as predicted, we may hope for another successful year for the Broad- caster. Editor...

As the name suggests, only those taking the commercial course may become members. Miss Sneidman and Miss Forney, with the aid of the students, made the work of the club more entertaining and instructive than ever before. Programs given by the members consisted of one-act plays concerning business problems. A talk by the Head of the Commercial Department of Carnegie Tech was especially enjoyable. All in all the club had a most successful year. Officers President......................... Vice President......................

The senior advisors are Mr. Leuschner, Dr. Miller and Mr. L. Half, all members of the District Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the club is twofold: 1. To learn more about the types of businesses and trades. This aim is fulfilled by visits to mills, business houses, and schools. This year they visited the Carnegie Steel Works, the Bell Telephone Company, the Carnegie Institute of Technology and a safety meeting.. 2. To learn and then teach others how to become good citizens. To prove that it is possible for high school students to do this, the members launched a Safety and Clean-Up Week’’ campaign. Through the combined efforts of school and borough officials, and students, the campaign was most successful. The club, although young, has served its purpose.

The students organized in 1927 with the aim in mind—to give those students capable of grade A. B, or C work a chance to gain outside knowledge in Botany and Zoology. Most of the topics discussed are taken from magazines, newspapers, and scientific books. The work is supplementary to that done in class. The great progress of the club is due to the untiring efforts of its originator, Miss Claire Frysinger.

This body is made up of chairmen, one from each room. Their duties are to discuss school policies, sell tickets and formulate plans that draw our Interests to the school. One of their best plans is the awarding of an attendance banner. The room having the highest percentage of attendance gets the attractive blue banner with “Attendance Champs” on it, in raised yellow letters. Ts it any wonder the home rooms vie with each other in order to see this insignia blaze over their door? SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS President................Jack Horner Vice President..

The club presented four plays this year. They were “When the Horns Blow” and “Station YYYY” given by the January graduating class, “The Ghost Bird,” present- ed by the May Class and “Done in Oil,” the Junior Class play. Each of these was successful, being well given and well directed. The Junior coach was Miss Frysinger and the Senior Coach, Mr. Brumfield. The stage crew did excellent work this year. Its members were Thomas Cosgrove, Jack Horner, David Graffius, Walter Stankunas, John Main waring, Edward Gorgas and Henry Teutsch. •♦4� • “When the Horns Blow” and “Station YYYY” “When the Horns Blow” and “Station YYYY” were presented by the members of the mid-term graduating class in the High School Auditorium, January 23 and 24. “When the Horns Blow’ centers around the character of Julian Goldman, a promis- ing young artist in a New York studio. He talks over the idea of marriage with a modiste, Mary Leigh, who suggests the idea of casting lots to decide which girl he should marry. He falls asleep and dreams of marrying each of these girls. He awakens to find that the girl he wishes to marry is Mary Leigh, his little neighbor.

He tinkers with his dad’s radio, and by pretending to be a well-known professor, gives a talk which seemingly comes from some radio station, and explains in great detail the value of a boys’ camp. His dad is very much impressed at this, becomes convinced that it is his duty to send Herbert, and he does. —CAST— Herbert Winstead Rodger Colby Anita Winstead Caroline Winstead Mrs. Winstead Mr. Winstead Annie, the maid The chauffeur Arthur Pierce Martin DeLaney Pearl McVay Jewell Miller Belle Fogel Stephen Poch Mary Robinson Charles Weghorst The Ghost Bird The Senior play, “The Ghost Bird,” was presented in the auditorium on May 1 and 2 to an audience that shrieked, sighed and mentally sleuthed for the villain of the play until the final curtain. The play concerns the doings of Phil Graham’s week-end party at the home of Mrs. Dore. Graham has invited as his guest Brad Buckhart, chief of the New York Detective Force. He is murdered while solving a cipher, concerning the Vulture, a super-crook whom he wishes to capture. Suspicion falls on Carl Thomas who is in love with Buckhart's fiancee, Catherine Belmont. When Jenkins, a detective from New York arrives, he finds every one suspicious of every one else. The comic element is supplied by Toby, the butler, finger print expert and graduate of a correspondence school. In spite of his apparent rusticity, Toby solves the mystery and finds the murderer to be Graham, the super-crook. Too much credit can not be given to the stage crew who assembled an entire new set for “The Ghost Bird.” Thomas Cosgrove, David Graffius, and Jack Horner composed the stage crew. —CAST— Phil Graham Catherine Belmont Brad Buckhart Will Belmont Mrs. Dore Carl Thomas Celeste Andalusia Toby Annie Bloom Bella Walker Jenkins Frank Ficery Catherine McGuire Stephen Poch Jack Horner Jeannette Fischel Hal Tray Edvthe Dean Eva Shissler George Proudfoot Beryl Moore Betty Sutcliffe Fred Seiberling Sixty-nine Homesteader “Done in Oil” “Done in Oil,’ the Junior A play, was a farce comedy in three acts. The story centered around two blundering, bickering German comedians, Braun, the retired oil man, and Carl Pumpernickle. Especially enjoyable were their quarrels about business tnd their side splitting assaults on the English language. This lovable pair was per- suaded by a couple of crooke to invest in fake oil lands, but the swindlers were finally caught by a woman detective who posed as a book agent. Braun’s wife, who has social aspirations; a comically correct English valet; a humorous Swedish maid; Braun’s happy-go-lucky son; and a pair of attractive lovers took part in the play.

Gray Mr. Stanley M. Gray who has charge of the Music Department, is responsible for the fine band and orchestra that we have today. It is true that Mr. Gray has worked on this project—a prize-winning band—for almost six years, as long as he has been here, but now, success shines all the brighter after his hard work. It has been a great task handling a group of seventy ambitious, but fidgety students; yet, our director has finished his project and it is as well done as if the band members were professionals, not untrained boys and girls. No matter how much we eulogize Mr. Gray, we cannot say enough to express our gratitude for what he has done for our Alma Mater. Homesteader Band Is it any wonder that the band is twice as good as it was last year? The mem- bership has increased from forty-one to sixty-six, and under the capable directorship of Mr. Gray, nothing but success can be predicted. Last year, when in competition with all the high school bands in Pennsylvania at Johnstown, our band was given fourth place. This organization, besides entering contests, has given a number of concerts— one through Broadcasting Station W. C. A. E. and another at the Gayety Theatre in Pittsburgh. The band was awarded the Allegheny County Championship at the elimina- tions at McKeesport on April 4. May we, for the whole class, extend our congratulations to the one responsible for all this—Mr. Gray?

Gray, has noticeably improved this year. They have aided in all school affairs, among which are our class plays, chapel programs, and benefit shows. This group of musicians also gave an afternoon con- cert for the townspeople. As most of the members have had between one and eight years of individual work on their instruments, Mr. Gray has been able to develop their technique in combined playing so greatly that they were able to enter the State Orchestra Contest this year. « Homesteader Seven tv-six Homesteader t¥ WM.

Pitts- burgh. Two of our Homestead students participated in the tournament. Charles Nevins our diminutive star defeated Stone of Coraopolis 6-3, 6-1. Arthur Lengyel our other star was defeated by Rennels of Wilkinsburg 6-3, 6-0. Charles Nevins advanced to the quarter finals by virtue of his victory over Stone. Whether or not Homestead can boast of a championship tennis team next year depends on the student body itself—that is one thing we cannot predict. There can be no complaint about “no place to play” because we have two of the finest tennis courts in this district—and finest of all, they are open to any Homestead High student. Tennis will be developed under the supervision of Mr. R. R. Chasser. Girls’ Track Team For the first time in several years a girls’ track team was organized. The team held several practice meets and attended one section meet on May 14. Here the girls made a fine showing. Miss Kay has planned a far more extensive program. We wish her and the girls all the luck in the wrorld in promoting this enjoyable sport.

Captain Edward May, Stankunas, Seiberling, Wilkinson, Hight, Schlussler, Ritter, O’Hare, MacFarlane, Bair, Tray, Berger, Kelly, Sutton and De Laney, men who have formed the nucleus of Homestead High’s Athletic teams for the several past seasons. The 1929 varsity eleven enjoyed a successful season, and it can be truly maintained that it was one of the best teams ever developed at the high school. One of the features of the past football season was the resumption of the annual Homestead—Munhall game for the first time in five years, the Gold and Blue warriors winning the contest by a score of 12 to 6. Here’s wishing the team a most successful season for 1930. Homestead 19 12 Homestead 0 Clairton 12 Homestead 13 Monongahela Citv 0 Homestead 7 N.

Campbell Assistant Coach J H. Coles Captain...............Fred Bair Student Manager.......John Ewing With only one member of last year’s championship team back, Homestead High was nevertheless able as usual to make a very creditable showing in basketball during the last season. Starting the schedule with four regulars who were playing varsity competition for the first time, the team under the able coaching of Mr. Campbell and Mr. Coles was able to win seven consecutive league games which undoubtedly speaks very well for the coaching staff. As of previous years, we encountered Munhall, who displayed stiff opposition, Elizabeth met disastrous defeat before the locals as did Clairton. Duquesne our old time foe was able to take both encounters, while McKeesport was able to register only one against the Campbellites. Nevertheless the playing of the local quintet was of sufficient calibre to win for two of its members places on “all star” teams. Next year will find Berger, Blair, Ficery, Hight. Murphy, and Coles lost through graduation, but exceedingly fine material exists in Brown, Kalupson, Miller, and Slidders who will go to make up the nucleus of next seasons aggregation. Eighty-three Homesteader Track Team The track team was again under the supervision of Mr. Schenck. The team par- ticipated in several meets in which they worked to the best of their ability which was indeed excellent. Mr. Schenck is planning great things for the team which he will have next year and which he means to be bigger and better than ever. The team will steadily improve everyone knows, ior Mr. Schenck is a steady, conscientious worker as has been proven by his past successes. Ma the good work continue until we reach the superla- tive degree of success! Eighty-four Homesteader Girls’ Varsity Basketball We are all proud of our Girls’ Varsity, this year, for its splendid display of fine sportsmanship, optimism and a never-give-up spirit. We are proud to say that our girls have been quiet victors and cheerful losers. The team consisted of the “Varsity Six” and nine reserves. VARSITY SIX Alice McAllister Elizabeth Guy, Captain Elsie Coe Mary Goode Ethel Sloan Mathilda Pasteur RESERVES Catherine McGuire Ada Schoup Theresa Bair EHe- '--♦w Catherine Fr'-uch Gladys Strutt Pauline Savolskis Sara Fogel Evelyn Trautman Eighty-five Homesteader Junior Girls’ Team This season of Girls’ Interclass Basketball was one of the most exciting ever ex- perienced in the history of our school. Every team was fit to be class champions, but the Junior girls proved themselves to be superior. A large crowd of spectators appeared at every game; there were moments of tense- ness and suspense, just as thrilling as those in Varsity games. The Junior girls fought gallantly, and thus attained the Championship. The coaches, Mary Goode and Gladys Strutt were very proud of their team.

There have been no Bowling Leagues among the students for several years. There were three Bowling Leagues, this year. The Homestead High School Bowling League, sponsored by Miss Thomson, con- sisted of thirty-two hoys and girls. They are proud to say that James Conley maintained an average of 150 for the year. The Junior Girls’ Bowling League, sponsored by Miss Frysinger, consisted o( about twenty members. The Junior Boys’ Bowling League was sponsored by Mr. Schenk. A group of eight have been chosen from each league to represent the champion team. In the High School League, the team consists of the four highest girls and the four highest boys.

To the class of 1933, we sadly bequeath Leo, the lion, with the warning that he is old and touchy and looks not gently upon tail-pullers. To the boys of the class of 1932 we leave the hall mirror, with best wishes to the girls of the class in the struggle for it. To the class of 1931 we leave the “Man in Armor” for protection during their last year. (They’ll need him.) To all and sundry we leave the privileges of “sassing” the teachers, of being chased from the hall by D. O. T., of beating the late bell by one second, the agonies of leading assembly, the privilege of decorating all desks, chairs, and walls with their initials, (if they’re not caught.) I, Hal Tray, leave my senior presidency to James Conley, provided that he work as hard as I. I, Anna Marie Barrett, leave my position as official wisecracker to any one who can “put one over on” Mr. Wills. 1, Mary Boyle, most gratefully leave my editorship to..............(some unfortunate Junior) whoever wishes to work without results; my habit of slamming the door of 21 . I leave to the same person. I Smokie Byrnes, leave my height to Rose Stein for she needs it; my job of helping Mary Boyle hunt humor 1 leave to some other unlucky person. I, R. Oscar Cohen, leave my ability for talking to Jack Pool and My big feet to Votz Stankunas. I, Willard Berger, leave my entire harem to the boys of ’31. I, Ethel Sloan, leave my ’cello to him who is strong enough to carry it. I, Manuel Zalevsky, leave all my ability to all who need it. I, John Wilkinson, bequeath my speed to Walter Elwell. I, Catherine McGuire, leave my acting ability to some Junior girl seeking popu- larity such as mine. We, George Sertich and Walter Johnson, leave our positions of star English 8 pupils to Jenkins and Lesko. I, James Hight, can leave only my sympathy for the Seniors of 1931. I, Anna Mary Clever, leave my tincup to some one who carries her lunch. I, Elsie Coe, leave my basketball ability to Theresa Bair. I, Helene DeLaney, bequeath my dancing school to Caroline Gibson. I, Bill Murphy, leave my billiard playing ability to any one who can talk about it as much as I. _ ji Hdythe Deane, leave Algebra 4 book to Bill Rubinsac who wont have to use it since he’s a commercial. We, Joe Gentile and Joe H., leave our work of worrying Mr. Barclay to Bob Schein and Jack Pool. .. I, Bernice Jackson, bequeath my position of gum buyer for the athletes (?) to some rich Junior girl. We, the whole senior class, leave you now before we lose all our minds.

For example, with $1.00 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 Total Wealth Monthly in 10 Years Compound 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 7,374.25 100 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.
