Page Forty-eight Football Homestead High School enjoyed one of the best football seasons in years. They won 6, lost 2, and tied 1. The season reached a fitting climax with the playing of the Munhall game. Homestead started with a powerful drive and only the final whistle could stop it. Munhall was outweighed by a slight margin, but, the advantage Homestead held in the score and team play indicated clearly that this availed them nothing. Lights were installed at the athletic field and several night games were plated successfully. SEASON’S RECORD Homestead 1.3 Carnegie 0 Homestead 13 Swissvale 0 Homestead 0 Mon.

BASKETBALL LETTERMEN Sullivan Barrett Stafura Borgan Slidders Rice Miller Brickner Monk Page Fifty-two Darsity Reserves The Homestead second team enjoyed a fair season this year. They won four and lost four games. They defeated McKeesport, Munhall twice, and Scott. They lost to McKeesport, Scott, Rankin, and Clairton. Both Munhall games were “thrillers”. In the first game at Homestead, the Re- serves held a margin of 16-4 at one stage of the game. As the game went on, Mun- hall closed the gap hut soon found themselves a little short as the whistle blew. The second game held more thrills than the first. At no stage of the game did more than 5 points separate the two teams. This game was featured by the timely “long shots” of “Gabby” Ezak. From this squad there will be some valuable material for next season’s team. The team was composed mostly of sophomores.

Ralph Mervis Synopsis Uncle George was supposed to have been burned to death in a hotel fire and he left quite a large amount of money. The relatives all flock to his home in New York. In his will, Uncle George said that Eddie must be in bed at eight o’clock every night for the next six months or he doesn’t get his share of the money. Uncle George’s ghost appears but the matter is cleared up as Seth turns up to be Uncle George. Jake Peter is arrested for embezzlement by Danny who turns out to be a detective. Eddie succeeds in being in bed at eight o’clock every night and everybody is happy. Page Eighty-three SCHWAB INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL M R.
