As we, the class of '45, continue on the road of life, we leave to the future graduates of H.H.S. this record of the momentous year of 1944-45. Many changes have been made while we studied and played. Now it is our job to perform dutifully the tasks left by those who have gone before us. To help make this a better world, we pledge our best. We have enjoyed working on this record and in the days to come, we hope that it will be a re- minder of the joyous days spent at H.H.S. four IUI 0 ER IS PRESENTED TO YOU BY THE CLASS OF ’45 HOMESTEAD SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL HOMESTEAD, PENNA. five DEDICATION...

Biology fifteen Urna Matesi Dear old Homestead, mighty Homestead, Let us sing to you; With our heads up, gazing onward, Colors, Gold and Blue, Carry on to highest glories, On, for those who see. Let it be known far this story, Of your wondrous deeds. Oh, your worth cannot be measured, By these things in life. There is something deeply treasured That will stand through strife. Come the years and we'll be wishing That we're back into your fold, But the things that won't be missing-— Memories, good as Gold. Step by step just struggle upward, To your place in years; Make your graduates be leaders, Help them on with cheers. Four short years we walk together, Striving toward one aim. Soon we're gone with school days over Still for Homestead's name. It is with humblest admiration that we, the students of H.H.S. pay this tribute to the alumni who have made the supreme sacrifice so that we, who follow, may have a better world in which to find success. These thirty-seven alumni of H.H.S. who have made that sacrifice are: That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom. And that Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. It seems fitting to express our tribute in words of someone far greater than our humbler selves.

This page and the words here printed cannot fully express the true feel- ing we have for our alumni, former students and teachers of Homestead High School who have joined forces with Uncle Sam. Those who have gone forth to prove their worth as Americans show the courage and fortitude typical of the students of H.H.S. We are thrilled with your letters and happy to have you visit us from all corners of the universe. Nothing can make up for the sacrifices you have made in upholding the rights and ideals of our country throughout the world. Our hats are off to you! We wish to pay special tribute to the Seniors, our pals, who had to leave before our graduation. We hope in future days that their memories will stray back to the carefree days we spent together and will picture the gay and light hearts of all the friends at H.H.S.

The Library Staff is composed of students who volunteer for work in the library. All staff members are required to present satisfactory scholarship to qualify as members of this staff. Their status in the library is more or less that of apprentices; they learn by doing, and by virtue of such scattered instruction as the librarian can find time to give. These student volunteers assume full charge of all routine duties, such as charging books, replacing books on the shelves, pasting in book pockets, assisting in mending books, caring for magazines, ond in general doing any odd job there is to do. Every period of the day some staff members are at work in the library. Some of the staff members assist Miss McVicker in more specialized work. LaVerne Uramey assumes the responsibility of assisting in keeping the bulletin boards attractive and up-to-date. Mildred Lesko, Ann Ivan, and Ruth Savolskis devote their time to special clerical work. The library staff is an indispensable part of the library. Its members render valuable service. Letters are awarded to those students who do satis- factory work and who are members of the staff for at least three-fourths of the school term. forty-nine Auto Shop Schwab School R. W.

Taylor Alderdice 6 Homestead Canceled Burgettstown Homestead 13 Coraopolis 0 Homestead 6 Munhall 6 Won Lost Tied 1 6 1 fifty-six tf-oothall Homestead cannot consider its 1944 football season much of o success. However, even if it were somewhat of a poor campaign, some bright spots, such as the victory over Coraopolis and the surprising tie gome with Munhall are outstanding. In the sunny days of early September, the pros- pects for a good team were sunny too; the line was one of the heaviest in recent years at Homestead; the backfield was fast, and there were quite a few veterans from the team of '43. The first game was with St. George. It looked as if the Steelers would start the season off with a bang, when Bob Bodner caught a touchdown pass in the end zone. Homestead missed the try for the extra point, so the score remained 6 to 0 in favor of Homestead. In the second half, an inspired St. George team scored o touchdown and made good the extra point, to lead 7 to 6. The game ended with St. George out in front by one point. Later in the season this game was forfeited to Homestead when it was discovered that St. George had used an ineligible player. The following week the Gold and Blue dropped a heortbreaker to Swissvale 14 to 13. The whole team ployed a good gome with Durant and Malutinak scoring the touchdowns, and Charles Stoebe making the extra point. Despite the valiant efforts of coaches Joseph Sariscak and Audley Davies and the players them- selves to whip together a winning combination. Home- stead could not break into the win column. The Steelers continued in their losing way, drop- ping games to a fast Glassport team, Duquesne and Braddock in that order. A change for the better was noted in the play of the Homestead lads, the night they faced Taylor Alderdice. The field was soggy the first half, making fast running difficult; nevertheless Jack Nolan tore off several long gains around the flonks of the foes. Although the Steelers outplayed Alderdice the first half, they could not cross the gool line, being stopped short on several occasions. Between ho Ives, to say it rained would be putting it mild, so I'll say it poured. The field was a quagmire the second half, but somehow Alderdice got their halfback into the clear and he ran for the only touchdown of the game. Homestead lost the game 6 to 0, but they proved that they could play good ball. The team made a long trip for the next game, down to Coraopolis, but it was worth it, for Homesteod won their first game of the year. The final score was 1 3 to 0 with Davies and Kulpa scoring the touch- downs, Bodner making the extra point. The victory was just what Homestead needed to put them into a right frame of mind for their next and last game. The climax of the season was reached when the Gold and Blue met a highly-favored Munhall team at the Athletic Field on a Monday afternoon. The final score, as you all know, was 6 to 6 in favor of Homestead. I say in favor of Homestead because it was a great moral victory for the Steelers. Ray Kulpa, with the help of the other ten men, scored the touch- down. Some of the highlights of the season were: Jack No'an's great defensive play. Alex Lesko and John Sobocinski as towers of strength in the line, and Ber- nard Suhoza's filling the injured John McLean's shoes in the Munhall game.

The locals faced some of the stiffest opposi- tion in the district, and did themselves credit by their consistent winning. A few of the teams defeated by the Steelers were Ambridge, Greensburg, Monaco, and Donora, the lotter going on to become WPIAL champs and advancing to the state finals. Homestead opened its league season with Mun- haII, on the Steeler's floor. The Indians at the end of the first half had a very large lead over the Gold and Blue. During the intermission, Chick Davies and Brud Stephens sprinkled their magic words over the boys, and Homestead, in one of the greatest comebacks of the season, defeated Munhall 35 to 27. Homestead traveled to Clairton for its next game, and were favored to defeat the home team. Once the game got under way, however, Clairton upset the dope bucket by playing inspired boll and defeated the Steelers in an extra period 37 to 33. McKeesport visited Homestead and downed the locals 26 to 22, in another extra period game. Home- stead held the lead throughout most of the game, but a late rally by the Tubers carried them to victory. Every local basketball fan looked forward to the Homestead-Duquesne game, which was to be played at Duquesne. Homestead started the game with a bang, and at the end of I 0 minutes of play, was win- ning by the score of 16 to 1. The Dukes, however, by virtue of some sharp shooting by Fraikor and others defeated the Steelers 48 to 44. It will be noted at this point that Homestead had lost its last three games by a mere four points each time. Munhall playing on its own floor, proved to be too much for Homestead and won the game 32 to 23. After losing four straight games, the Steelers snapped their losing streak by defeating Clairton 37 to 29, thus avenging their earlier loss to the Bears. Homestead was keyed up to defeat McKeesport in their last encounter, ond just fell short, losing 35 to 32. In the last game of the season, Duquesne had a lead of 12 points or more for the first three quarters, but in the last stanza, the Steelers put on a gallant rally, but time ran out, and the Dukes were still ahead 34 to 32. Homestead hod the making of a fine team, the players were experienced, the coaches were tops, but fate was ogainst the Steelers when it came to league games. Homestead, although losing most of its league games, had an over-all record of 1 3 wins and 5 losses, which isn't a bad mark. The floorwork of lanky Paul Whalen and Jack Nolan, the accurate shooting of Don Asmonga and Jack Kelly, and the all-round play of John Manning, John Beechum, Walt Malutinak, and Don Delserone, were the main reasons for success of the ball c'ub. Sam Sullivan's Reserve team also had a very profitable season, winning all its games, but three. Bill Fearon, John Sobocinske, and Edward Krall, be- sides serving as reserves for the varsity, starred for Sullivan's team. It is said that hope springs eternal in the human heart, so be it. Homestead's cry to Section Six is Wait 'till next year.

Vo-llejfhall Homestead High School reigns as Volleyball champion of the W.P. I.A.L. for the third successive year. The coach, John Connelly has led his team to the championship both years that he has been coach. The Gold and Blue represented the W.P.I.A.L. in the state finals which were played at State College. It was Homestead's old jinx, Peabody, that captured the state title. The Steelers, however, played very well and finished in the runner-up spot in the tournament. Homestead defeated every opponent they met, with the exception of Peabody. Any school that can be W.P.I.A.L. champs three years running, and also be the runner-up in the state tournament, should be proud of its fine volleyball team. Th boys that worked with Mr. Connelly to give Homestead such a fine season were: Robert Bodnar, Charles Davies, Donald Delserone, John Beecham, Alex Lesko, Olger Burch, Earl Wain, John McLean, Ray Kulpa, Gerald Wick- erham, Herbert Holmes, Richard Manson, and Wilson Troy.

SU L 7 SoidlieA i SuieatlteasU'' The Junior class production of She's a Soldier's Sweetheart by Anne Martens made an instantaneous hit with the audience. No wonder! The cor- rect portrayal of clever dialogue by a versatile cast was amazing. Can you ever forget Little Red Riding Hood with her basket containing new grape purple nail polish and other doodads for Granny—or the Wolf in Granny's nightgown —or the press reporters flashing their cameras? Or—well, perhaps the fol- lowing will bring back laughable recollections: Poul Miholik—handsome Kip with a roving eye. Jack Borr—so tricky as Ricky; so graceful os Red Riding Hood.

Play a. 7wo- Mi+ud i 7o Qo- ApA.il 27, 1945 A football hero with a toothache! That's probably the first thing you'll think of when you remember the Class of 45's Senior play. Wilson Troy was the Rudy Bain of that production. For three years Harrington High School has not lost a football game. Now, they must have a new coach. Right out of college comes Spike Reagan (Alex Lesko) and his young bride, Sandra (Clara Herzberger.) The assistant coach, Tom Birchard (Albert Hricik) felt that the position should have been his. Superintendent Wilson (Edward Omecene) pledges his full support to an athletic program that will give a chance to all rather than to a chosen few. As might be expected, certain seniors on the team, played by Fred Wulf, Joe Bich, and William Sarosi, have the feeling that they are indispensable. The boys are backed in this feeling by the majorettes and cheerleaders —Jayne Jackson, Gertrude Barna, Phyllis Piazza and Ethel Bado. Mimi Hopper (Euphemia Perston) and Jo Craig (Edith Mackenzie) are two of Harrington's popular senior girls. Terry Druggins (Tom Kochery) is one of the second-stringers who is very anxious to make good in the football world. Terry is aided and abetted in his hopes by his fond mother (Lorraine Knox). Luella Bickel (Greta Steele) is a new student at Harrington High. Members of the supporting cast were: Ethel Bado, Jayne Jackson, Phyllis Piazza, Gertrude Barna, William Fearon, Elmer Mantsch, Mary Marg- aret Wirtz, Dorothy Riling, Ruth Savolskis, Patsy Fenner, Frances Toth, Mildred Kelleher, Ruth Schaup and Mathilda Shimko. sixty-one PtiOfdtecy off the GIgM, 1945 Once upon a midnight dreary, While I pondered weak and weary, O'er mony quaint and curious volumes of forgotten lore, I nodded, nearly napping, and dreamed of days—quoth the raven—'never more' ' As I floated through the air—on the wings of the raven—through foams of billowy clouds, I chanced to look below and saw only water, and then the familiar spires of New York City came into view. A sharp turn to the right, and then up the Hudson River and the first scene—why, it's West Point!!! The raven descended, and as we walked over the beautiful campus, we sow a familiar figure, John McLean mowing the lawn for the graduating class of 1965. Nearby, buzzing with excitement a few cadets were chatting about how Edith Mackenzie caused Yale to be closed as a result of her mixing two wrong chemicals, and of the new Swoon King of the U. S. A., Thomas O'Toole, who was crooning his Danny Boy at the Roxy Theatre. A flying visit to Harlem and we behold those Singing The Blues Away Team —Helen and Alberta Turner. Guess What? Ada McWilson is their manager. While visiting their club we ran across Inez Johnson, who is now secretory to the mayor. The attractive Fifth Avenue shop. Madam Stoop's Swank Shop, was our next visit. Despo Ganopulos and Ruth Savolskis, noted artists, busy at work designing Madam Stoop's Safety Slacks; Dolores Wisnesky making Madam Stoop's Curly Top Control Hats; and Ann Penzelik modeling Madam Stoop's Classic Anklets. The owner of this thriving establishment is none other than our own Bill Hemminger. As we pass the corner of Fifth Avenue and Shortstop Street, we see the socially prominent Mr. Richard Rosendale, owner of the one and only Dicky's Newstand. This newstand can attribute its success to the fact that crowds from Radio City Music Hall buy all their papers there after performances. The raven and I were fortunate to witness one of their rehearsals. There's Josephine Muraca — still squeezing away — on the scrub mop. The head bobbing behind the big bassoon looks familiar—why, it's Ruth Schaup. Over in the far corner I see Donald Rennie, arms poised in the air, waiting for his big moment, to clash the cymbals. I continued on my adventurous flight and suddenly found myself at Niagara Falls gazing at the honeymooners, all three of them husband, wife, and mother-in-law. The first familiar figures I see are Betty Seech and her handsome lieutenant, interested only in the Falls; and then Pauline Starusko and her one and only, also interested in—the Falls. A crowd at the top of the falls attracts my attention—but no—it couldn't be—but it is—John Noll going over the Falls in a barrel trying to prove his theory of sensation. My raven friend is a fickle old thing—and decides to go back to New York City. Being a music lover he conducts me to the Metropolitan Opera House. After a few minutes, I saw Olga Zastupnevich and Catherine Hartman realizing their dreams of someday being at the Met. They're usherettes. After the performance, whom do you think I saw back stage—good, old Bill Fearon, who was the stage manager. Once more we take to the air and the raven stoos at our dear Old Alma Mater, in Home- stead. The first person we see is Edward Omecene, Superintendent, trying out the new theory of education—holding the door open for each student and greeting h m. As the day pro- gresses I see Goldie Recht teaching her Sociology doss the principles of Getting and Holding Your Man. At the end of the day we see Eileen McCann sending her pupils to detention room for not bringing her some chewing gum to class. As we flit into the wee hours of the morning we see De’ores Janowski with her faithful companion—the rolling pin, waiting for her dearly beloved Vincent Siraguso. We next enter Homeville, the largest metropolis of the East. There's Bernard Suhoza, arm-chair strategist at Bill's Barber Shop. In the Music Shoppe on the corner, we find Euphemia Perston, practicing on a piano—this time, polishing it. How strange to see so many of our graduates at P. C. W. First we find Jack Nolan coaching the girl's football team. We hope they win. Why, that looks like Robert Bodner— still time-keeping. He's still keeping time on the girls. A member of the faculty looks just like Joe Nagy. He's teaching the young ladies chemistry. On our journey westward an outdoor advertising poster attracts our attention, for those two new stars, Morion Pastor and Pauline Polanick have just endorsed Foamy Smile Tooth Paste. sixty two P iOjxliec4j, The new testers at Finkle's Vita Factory are Katherine and Phyllis Piazza. They are trying to improve the health of the next generation by the use of vitamins. A few more minutes and the Great Lakes Region comes into view. John Cleary, Leo Dee, Frank Daerr, Joe Estok, and John Dindak, engaged in a very enterprising and successful truck- ing business, carrying barges of feathers from Buffalo to New York. The large department store—Marshall Fields' beasts of an Easter bunny that remains there all season—none other than Al Hricik. A familiar voice draws us to Duke's Juke Joint; their featured blues singer is Homestead's own Mildred Boyton. The lights dim, and the next art attraction is Irene Kohut in her thrilling ballet extravaganza. Then we see Rita McCallough, Marilyn McMunn, and Paul Kazimer working their way up to the top in the Chicago Stock Yards. A very nice thing has happened to Gertrude Barna. She's just been chosen Notre Dame's Selected Majorette. As we come into the Middle West, shouts and cheers attract our attention, for it's Alice Millus, star bronc-buster of the P. U. Bar Ranch. Going on we see Julie Bolchazy traveling cross-country in her 1929 Ford. We hope she gets there in the next month or two. Wilson Troy, our great football athlete, now has a job coaching the Texas All Stars, and by his side is his little inspiration, Greta Steele. Gliding along we see Ba’ky's Beauty Salon, owned and operated by Anna Balkunow. June Pecora is manicurist, and Mildred Peha, Chief hairpin retriever. Our scene takes place in Dead Man's Gulch. To our amazing eyes we see Flobelle Clork touring Grand Canyon cracks, caves, crevices, nooks, etc. ' still searching for a certain brown coat. The team of Thomas McDonald and William Lucas still trying to find Diamond Salt in the Great Salt Lake. Over a passing radio beam we hear This is Station J-E-R-K bringing to you John's Third Cousin's Other Wife, starring Margaret Kostelnik sponsored by Elsie Kraus' Better Kraut for Krafty people. Six lines of baby's clothing attract our attention and who do you suppose is hanging up the clothes—-his mouth full of pins? It's our one and only Tommy Kochery. Then we see Jayne Jackson bringing another full basket. We're so glad to see your ambition realized, Tommy. At the Macombo in Hollywood, we are surprised to see the original Toth Sisters, beautiful singing senoritas from South of the Border. They certainly resemble Delores and Frances loth of H. H. S. Finishing their educat on at the University of Southern California, my raven friend and I find Stella Dzwonairski, Frances Barnes, and Helen Haschak, still trying to figure out the theory behind Gregg's Fundamentals of Shorthand. In a small laboratory our attention is caught by the intense work going on there, for Mary Margaret Bodner, Margaret Hacke, Margaret Ann Hoffman, and Eileen Mulkern, advertising managers, are trying to find out whot puts the goo in Zoogle's Milk. Ugh!!! You won't believe it, but Joe Bich, professor at Standard University, is now Dictator of the American-English language. Our Glamorous Stella Lizik of Hollywood is now Miss Five and Dime Queen of 1965. Rat-a-tat-tat; Boom; Wham; and in comes Joseph McGuckin, the Humphrey Bogart of the era, thrilling his many female fans. A new firm has just opened—Erasum Cleaning Co.—specializing in removing paint from germents. You must have guessed that the owner is Mary Margaret Wirtz. There's one radio program that can boast about H. H. S. talent, for Matilda Shimko has replaced Gene Autry as No. 1 cowboy singer of the air-lanes. Oh, by the way, Mildred and Dorothy Hanchak end their California Coyote Band furnish the music. Anna Sipos and Theresa Stezoski have attained the position of chief mattress testers for the Tumbling Tumbleweed Mattress Co. sixty three P iOfLhec4f, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have mechanized and are now using airplanes. Lulu Kelleher and Clara Herzberger, the new chiefs, wave goodbye to their men. We always get our man is their slogan. Loretta Vincent is still trying to fullfill her promise of finding out how the salmon swim up the Columbia River. This is her sixth year of escorting the salmon. Wet, isn't it? Some of our graduates have even reached Nome, Alaska. Elmer Mantsch and his Yummy- Yum Bakery provide the eskimos with all their cream puffs. We mustn't forget to mention that Sophie Lapinski ond Sophie Lazar are inventors of that new rage—Sophie's Soapy Bath Bubbles. That dot on the far horizon is Alice Daniels accompanying Eleanor to Mars as her private secretary. Under the tropical sun of the South Seas, we see, sitting on their thrones, Leslie Graham, Marion Zoleski, Harry Zekany, and Bob Sable—feasting on the rare delicacies brought them by the natives, while being entertained by the dancing girls. Rows and rows of fluffy white cotton flit on the scenes as Lorraine Knox oversees the work- ers on the biggest plantation of the South Seas. The new business manager of the Itsum-Ditsum Baby Laundry Co. in Hong Kong, is Carl Juravaty—conducting a thriving business. We always knew that Patricia Fenner, Eva Abraham and Morgie Smith would succeed in their profession. They're now co-editors of that great Russian Newspaper, The Purple Cow. As we near the end of the Burma Road we see a celebration, for Priscilla McDaniels has been the first person to skate the entire length of the Burma Road. Then, to our ears comes the enchanting music of Goo Elchik—charming his snakes. What do our wandering eyes see but Mildred Lesko, Mary Louise Bowen, Geraldine Cochran, Dorothy M. Scott, and Evelyn Tepsic—all members of Russell Cauley's Harem. At the gates we see Bill Sarosi and his clan trying to sieze Russell's possessions. Loud noises attract our attention in Turkey as Dolly Barry, Mary Ann Durica, Josephine Olla, and Bernadette Ruddy try to explain the fundamentals of BINGO to the awed Natives. Zip, boom, tear, and we're in Paris, fashion center of the world. Those famous designers, George Suto, Charles Thomas, Joseph Vitak, Edward and John Voytko, and Fred Wulf are busily engaged in making dresses, which they learned by cutting classes at H. H. S. Angels of Mercy, Ethel Bado, Alberta Wilhelm, Jane Joyce, and Dorothy Riling, are ful- filling their ambitions because of their discovery of new techniques of germ prevention. Lucky us—for in London we hear Alex Lesko perform his romantic role in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. A short visit to London olso revealed to us Lois Geisel and Virginia Gresko, new poet laureates of England. Did you know that the greatest critic of all times over B B C is Angelo Fiore? His fame resembles that of Walter Winchell. We also hear that one of Washington and Jefferson's most distinguished students is Charles Hunter. His aim—the ministry. Roof Whelan is the new artist sensation. His wallpaper hanging ond house painting are just too, too-------- Cleanliness is the new motto at Princeton since Mary White, Frances Tierney, and Dorothy Wolfe are the cooks and chief bottle washers. Jean Burke and Lorraine Thomas are now the proud owners of a Crocodile Farm in Florida. And the raven never flitting still is flying C'er the Road of Life and o'er the nightly shore, And our minds are ever seeking, ever seeking. Our days of youth—now Nevermore. sixty-four Compliments of KEYSTONE FURNACE COMPANY Warm Air and Air Conditioning 482 WEST EIGHTH AVENUE WEST HOMESTEAD, PA.
