Many convenient exits which can empty the gymnasium in much less time than previously required. Floor space which is sufficiently large to permit real basketball. I wo basketball courts across the width of the floor lor use by physical education classes. I wo volleyball courts to satisfy the demands of the many adherents of that popular sport. Six retractable basketball hoops which can be concealed when not in use. Large dressing rooms with plenty of locker space and much better shower facilities than we had in the past. I here is an extra dressing room used exclusively by the visiting athletic teams. For extra-curricular activities we have: — A room to be used exclusively for activity purposes. I his will house the Homesteader and li-Steader staffs and also act as a meeting room for small groups in the school. A large music room, which is double in length and equal in width to any room in the I welfth Avenue School, has a large platform across the front. I he room can accommodate either the band or the orchestra and. when it is not used by them, will be a splendid spot for dramatic rehearsals, public speaking contests, or meetings ol large club groups. I he gymnasium can be converted into a very spacious auditorium, the most striking feature of which is an exceedingly wide and deep stage. Musical comedies and other shows requiring large casts found much difficulty formerly in arranging the players and often were forced to eliminate much beautiful scenery. The most modern foot and Hood lights raised into a loft. Our stage are in is quite use the and the thing. settings and curtains can be A new motion picture machine wl lie h will insure the student body of exce llent programs with a minimum amount of trouble to the sponsors.

HOMESTEAD o SWISSVALE 7 Showing considerable improvement but not enough. I lomestead lost the second game of the season. I heir defense held the Swissvale boys nobly but one mistake in tin third period decided the game. HOMESTEAD 0 McKEESPORT o On a very muddy field, the I ubers capitalized on two breaks of the game and turned a fumble into a touchdown and then scored two points on a safety when I.ogan recovered a blocked punt behind bis own goal line. HOMESTEAD 18 DUQUESNE 20 In a thrilling battle at Duquesne. Homestead was nosed out for their fourth deleat of the season. I be team as a whole played well but Reed and I iaitchak starred. The scorers for the local tean were Hudak. Esper, and Koval. HOMESTEAD 0 BRADDOCK 13 In a dull game in Braddock s Dust Bowl.

HOMESTEAD o TURTLE CREEK 7 Turtle Creek piled up a 15-2 margin in first downs, but was held to a 7-0 victory by a stubborn Homestead eleven. The Steelers held the Turtles for three quarters and all but two minutes of the last when a steady march from midfield resulted in a score for the boys from Turtle Creek. HOMESTEAD o CLAIR I ON 27 On a slippery field which hampered Homestead's play. Clairton ran roughshod over the Steelers in a 27-0 victory. Uncovered in the Homestead Imckfield was Dan Kubasak who performed well in his varsity debut. HOMESTEAD o MUNHALL o | he annual HomesteadAlunhall clash had a new background this year, when it was played on the new. beautiful West Eield. The bitter cold prometed consistant fumbling on the part of both teams. In twenty-five con- tests thus far against the Marroon and White, the Steelers have won twenty, lost two and tied three.
