If, in years to come, as you glance through this book of reminiscence, you recall the pleasures, the intimate friendships and pleasant memories of your high school days, our fondest aim will be fulfilled. sHOhP r AP P� . 3� HOMESTEADER PAGE SIX KVS HOMESTEADER HOMESTEADER STAFF This year the Homesteader Staff was filled on a competitive basis. In select' ing the staff members, several students were assigned to the same position, and the one producing superior material received the position. If, however, during the course of the year, the student’s work on the Homesteader fell below par, he was automatically dropped and another put in his place. The class of 1931, elected the editor and the business manager, and these two in turn selected the other members of the staff. Underclassmen as well as seniors assisted in putting out the “Homesteader,” since it is not solely a book for Seniors, but a history of all the classes' activities.

The team lacked a great deal in experience but coaches Campbell and Coles strove hard to build up a team around several of last year’s varsity men. It can be truly maintained that if at the close of the schedule all the same teams were to be played over again, a majority of the games would have been won. The greater part of the team was made up of Freshmen, Sophmores, and Juniors, which predicts a better showing for the coming season. The Homestead-Munhall game attracted most of our interest and in which Homestead, the supposedly underdogs, trounced the Maroon and White.

Campbell Assistant Coach -.....................................J H. Coles Captain................................................John Miller Student Manager - Thomas Cosgrove The past basketball season was a replica of many by-gone seasons with Du- quesne the final stumbling block on the road to sectional championship. The schedule was started with Sullivan and Stafura at forwards, playing the’ir first varsity basket-ball; Brown at center, Kalupson and John Miller at guard, with Slidders and Lesko occasionally breaking into the game. The Gold and Blue marched through the first half without a defeat but during the second half met with stiffer opposition. Clairton took one encounter and then Duquesne, who previously lost to Elizabeth, took the final game in an extra period. The last defeat caused a tie which necessitated another game in order to decide the champion of Section VII. In the play-off at The Stadium, Duquesne came out on top but not until after a gallant rally by the Gold and Blue basketeers. Captain Miller, Brown and Lesko wil be graduated next fall, Kalupson will be back for just the first half of the semester; but Sullivan, Stafura, W. Miller, Slid- ders, Barret, and Rice will be back to make up next year’s team. Barrett Rice Brown BOYS’ BASKETBALL LETTERMEN J. Miller W. Miller Slidders Stafura Kalupson Sullivan Lesko PAGE SIXTY-FIVE TRACK TEAM The track team, under the supervision of Mr. Schenck, enjoyed a successful year. Encountering formidable teams in several meets, at home and abroad, the Gold and Blue track team made a creditable showing on the cinder path and in the field events. The team steadily improves each year as this is the second year of its existence, after a lapse of a few years in this form of sport. The steady climb to success is due a great deal to the excellent facilities provided at the athletic field and the superb coaching of Mr. Schenck. May the steady climb reach the peak of success and the Gold and Blue boast of a championship track team. I’AGE SIXTY-SIX SOCCER Each year some former sports activity is revived after it had been discon- tinued for a number of years. This year soccer played a part in our athletics. We cannot' boast any championship team as this year was intended chiefly for the purpose of getting organized and gaining experience. Although the team entered no interscholastic league and had no regular schedule, it encountered several oppon- ents of good calibre and the Homestead High hooters well held their own and turned in several victories. Whether or not Homestead can boast of a championship team will depend upon the number of students that will turn out for the next season. The team is coached by Mr. Hall.

Forty' eight high schools from different parts of Western Pennsylvania were represented. Homestead High was represented by two students, George Kacsmar and James Sharpe. Kacsmar was eliminated in the first round, but Sharpe fared better. He turned in victories for three matches losing in the quarter finals. A crop of new net-men are coming up for the next season and they will receive careful instructions under the supervision of Mr. R. R. Chasser.

The team took part in two debates, the first with Dormont, negative sides of both teams winning. The next debate was with McKees Rocks to determine the champion of the league. Al- though both sides won their affirmative argument by a 2 to 1 decision, McKees Rocks came out with a larger point score. Bernard Dodson, Charles Vogel and Rose Stein defended the statement that Old Age Pension Legislation should be enacted in Pennsylvania, while Freeman Rakusin, Paul Jones and Mary Mrazik attempted to disprove it. Althought William Brody and Paul Lesko were not members of the teams, they assisted the teams in preparing debates. PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT HOMESTEADER ORATORICAL CONTEST The Oratorical Contest took place at Clairton, April 7, 1931. Contestants from Homestead, Rankin, Carnegie, McKees Rocks, Wllkinsburg and Clairton participated. Of the many candidates who tried for the honor of representing Home- stead, David Rogers, Boris Lipetsky and William Mannion, made up the group from which one was to be chosen. At a final rehearsal, judged by members of the faculty, Boris Lipetsky was selected. Boris delivered an excellent oration on “Madison and the Constitution, but was defeated by the Wilkinsburg contestant who spoke on “Unemployment In- surance.” This was the first year Homestead has entered the oratorical contest. PAGE SEVENTY-NINE HOMESTEADER H. H. S. JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The club was organized by the Homestead Chamber of Commerce in 1927. Since that time it has flourished and has become quite an active group under the leadership of Mr. F. Leuschner. The organization is composed of twenty-four members from Homestead High School and eight from Munhall High School and meets semi-monthly. The club encourages closer relationship between the two High Schools, gives its members first hand knowledge of local vocational opportunities, and an under- standing of civic and community problems. This year the club took several trips to the different local industries, and it was also instrumental in making a survey of the business and living conditions of the district.

It was composed of ten members from the Problems of Democracy classes, five of them elected by the different classes and the other five selected by Mr. Wills. They met every Wed- nesday during the eighth period. The purpose of this organization was to form closer contact between the several Problems classes and to make the subject itself more interesting. Although this was only the first year for the council, it flourished and proved very successful.

The Mummy and the Mumps”, presented December 11 and 12 in the High School Auditorium. Will you ever forget Mike Billy in his part of Racker, the handy man. And where do you suppose Arthur Stumpf ever got that beautiful pink evening gown, that nearly caused a riot when he appeared in it in the last act. Remember, he was impersonating Jean Engel, who was Agatha Laidlaw, the very dignified schoolmistress. Of course, you know, we must give credit to the very able coach, Miss Frysinger, and to the chairmen of student committees, Roger Dixon, James Sharpe, Russel Pearce, Caryl Geary, and Thomas Cosgrove, whose efforts had a great deal to do with the success of the play. PAGE NINETY-FOUR 5 HOMESTEADER THE DRUMS OF DEATH” The May graduates chose for their class play a thrilling three act mystery, “The Drums of Death, which they presented May 7 and 8. The scene was laid in a mystery house, the secret hide-out of a half-crazed old man, Mr. Bailey. The mystery revolved about a valuable stone in Mr. Bailey's possession which Thompson, a criminal was determined to possess. Bailey fell into a trap and was drowned with the stone on his person. The stone was recovered and placed in a cabinet. Thompson, posing as Dr. Cameron was killed by the Devil's Breath which issued forth from the cabinet as he tried to take the stone. To cap the climax of this exciting drama Sheldon Harley, caretaker of Bailey’s property, announced his engagement to Paula Bailey, and revealed himself as a government agent in service of a European country, whose duty it was to return the stone to Africa.

Our genial host, William Dee, the president, suggested that each tell a tale to see who could tell the best. The Knight, in the person of Bob Schein, bravely related the “Kangaroo Tale.” He was applauded by all. From one side of the pilgrims, a meek little voice began to tell the “Tale of the Mouse,” but overcome with fear the Nun swooned. She was none other than Ellen Hartley. The excitement was stilled by the soft notes of a flute, coming from the middle of the group. His brightly colored coat drew attention and very quickly the squire, William Brody, related the “Lion's Tale” with much vigor. Matters were becoming interest- ing, and as a peacock arrow landed, the yeoman, Francis Kacsmar, leaped up and recited the Tale of the Three Bears.” Attracted by a glittering like that of the sun, by the pin from under his chin, all ears absorbed the thrilling narrative of the “Swift Greyhound,” by the worldly monk in the. person of John Vogt. A musical sound of jingling coins subdued the applauding, and the “Tale of a Beaver” was wittingly told by Albert Hale, the Merchant, in memory of his fine beaver hat. Sitting beside him was a flaxen haired cook, Betty Hill ,who presented “The Broiled Chicken,” well seasoned with spicy words. Piously standing before the multitude, the virtuous parson, Willie Kaselonis, was trying to reveal very discreetly the “Evils of the Senior Class.” The room was becoming very quiet, and soon there was a faint- buzzing sound. Everyone but Raymond Paanan, the Pardoner, was asleep. Since he was the only one who could withstand the torture, he received the prize from our host. The rest slept on, lest their dreams be shattered.

I—is for Innocence—not a teacher I’ll bet, but they're all like that, we musn't forget. J—is for Jose, and two Johnsons so kind, teachers like them are hard to find. K—is for Kinney and our gym teacher Kay, “Class attention” the last one we always hear say. L—is for Lefkowitz—the only “L” in our school, no one ever says, “she drives like a mule.” M is for Muir, McKillop, McGuire, also for Marshall, of none of these do we tire. N—is for Newell a new teacher here, she is a teacher none of us fear. O—is for O'Brien, our Librarian you know, we always find her “on the go.” P—is for “Prudence” cur teachers demand, if you don't have this, find out where you stand. Q—is for “Quietness” we’re all that way, for we always do what our teachers say. R—is for Risher, Rolfe, Rosenbaum, too, they'll always get the students thru. S—is for Schmitt, Shenck, Sneidman, and Spires, we hope none of these ever retires. T—is for Taylor—not very tall, also for Thomas who guards in the hall. U—is for “Unity”—our teachers as one, always together—in work or in fun. V—is for Vincent whom we all know, also another known as Vallowe. W—is for Wills in school so precise, also for Weis—they’re both very nice. X—is for “Xcellent” our teachers are, better than others—better by far. Y—is for a way you’re taught to do your work, by “Yourself” and you'll never shirk. Z—is for “Zero” a mark we hate to find on our papers from teachers so kind.

HUM ESTEADE H TICKLERS Dedicated to the Scotch Graduates What s the matter with the shoes? said the cobbler to Sandy, when he brought them back. “Don’t they fit?” Aye, mon, Sandy replied, “they fit weel enough on me, but they were a wee bit to tight for my brither on the nicht shift.” Mr. Wills: The Indian race probably descended from an ancient Eurasian race. H. Harding: My father said we descended from monkeys.” Mr. Wills: “Please do not bring your family affairs into this discussion.” • Miss Honcss: “Give me a sentence using the words detail, defeat, deduct, and de- fense.” G. Kacsmar: “Defeat of deduct went over defense before detail.” Miss Kenny: “You say Ed. has a bad cold and will not be in school today. Who is this speaking?” Bartek (hoarsely): “My father.” A Latin test included the question: “Give principle parts of the verb, ‘to skate’.” Skato, slipere, falle, bumptum.” Teacher writes on corrected test paper, failo, failere, flunxi, suspendum. LaVerne: My uncle in Venice is sending me a gondola. How am I to play it?” Lcsko: “You don't play a gondola; you throw it over your shoulder like a shawl.” Miss Taylor: In which of his battles was King Adolphus of France slain?” Wilson: “I’m pretty sure it was the last one.” Get the lead out, said Mr. Schenk, and put it into your Eversharps; we’re croin� to have an exam.” PAGE ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN HOMESTEADER 1. 2. 3. 4. 7. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 17. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 27. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.
