In looking through the pages of this “THE HOME- STEADER” you will see a picture or the history of our 1945-46 school year. You who are sophomores or juniors will wonder what the next year holds in store ; while you who are graduating wdl want to remember the teachers and fellow students, the classes, the activ- ities, and the highlights of your Senior Year. We, the class of ’46, would like everyone to know of our pride and spirit in H.H.S. We hope that this year- book will recall pleasant thoughts and memories of the good times and the good leadership that the Home- stead High School affords. So now, let’s have Anne and Bob Homesteader, as representative ’46 graduates, lead you on to an account of where we’ve been, what we’ve been doing, and what we expect to do. 4 edccatiaft With the end of the war and the coming of peace, the world again looks to the happiness of her land and people. I hus, we too look away from the past war years and dedicate “THE 1946 HOMESTEADER” to those who make the school, Anne and Boh Homesteader, the Students of Homestead High School. I hev are the ones who must find their way in the world ahead, who must safeguard the ideals of their country, and who will make the future of America. 5 feaG uH ajj Education Mr. SAMUEL C.

It all began when we started first grade. Oh, what an ordeal to leave the familiar security of home and enter a strange new world ! But, what an adven- ture !

In Homestead Junior High the life of a Frosh is very different from that of other high schools, for there, we are the leaders instead of the followers. Our class was swelled by the addition of many students from the various elementary schools in the district. The favorite activities were the “Ho-Ju-Hi,” Girl Reserves, and of course football and basketball. But all good things must come to an end and we started off on another adventure. We left dear old Junior High and pre- pared to enter the portals of the Senior High. One bright sunny morning in September we stood before the large brick budding on Maple Street and realized that we had nine happy years behind us and were about to start on the tenth.

So we developed from a green Freshman Class into a wise group of Sophomores. (Of course, all Sophomores are wise but we were the wisest of all.) When we took over the leadership of the Soph Class we were a happy group of boys and girls. What grades we captured! (Some of them were even good.) What traditions we upset and what records we made! At this time we accomplished our first great deed for which we gathered a great deal of fame : we discovered a way of getting through classes without opening a book. We used a method never before used by 11. H. S. students. We learned how to bluff — or thought we were bluffing until report-card time came around. Then, oh, woe ! (At that time we decided that it was best we study once inawhile, as a good example for future Soph Classes, of course.)

But we disagree with them for there was nothing so glorious as that day in September, when we became Juniors and the “Calhounites ” came up to join our class. In case you didn't know it, the Juniors are the favorites of the school. The Seniors treat them with a little respect because in the hands of the Juniors rests the Prom and the Sophs follow them adoringly in the hopes of getting a bid to the Prom. Gee, the “Rose-Garden’' theme of our Junior Prom was a lot of work, but with the help of many it really turned out swell. Will anyone ever forget our play, She’s a Soldier’s Sweetheart ? I know we won't. We all took part in many ac- tivities, the school paper, the band, cheerleading, Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, and any other activity, for which we could find time. But even as every other year quickly drew to a close, so did 1945 ; we were on the last lap of our journey.

This was quite a year because for the first time in many years our football team was beaten by Munhall, of course by luck; our basketball team won 27 straight games and was P.I.A.A. runner-up for the state title ; our volleyball team was also runner-up for the state title; and after a long absence a baseball team was formed. From our gymnasium was made a “Junior Town Meeting of the Air” broadcast, in which (Mger Burch and Bernice Suhoza orated their views about the Federal Housing Project with students from Braddock High. A King and Queen of the May were picked from us Seniors. The Senior Play, “Come Rain or Shine,” and the Musical Festival were both great successes. We studied hard because we realized that we were on the top and there was no falling back. And then, May. The Prom came and went.

When Commencement Day arrived the entire town came to see us graduate. It was the saddest and yet the most wonderful day of our twelve years of school. So, in a few modest and unassuming words we have told about the finest Senior Class Homestead has ever had. If we were not the finest and the best Class this High School has known, we would not have had the nerve to tell you all we have about ourselves. Ours was a Class that will never be surpassed when it comes to having fun. We all cooperated, and as you see, left nothing undone. I bus ends Chapter I of our autobiography. The next volume will be printed ten years from now, after we have conquered the world and written our names in flaming letters across the sky.

Influential Julia March (Marie Davis) sends Dan to a small sea-side vil- lage to make a production of “Come Rain or Shine” for her spoiled grand-daughter Rosemary March (Bette Jean Rowlands). Mr. and Mrs. Grayson, portrayed by Jerry Wickerham and Peggy Say, do their best to keep things running smoothly between their daughter Jac (Dorothy L. Scott) and Rosemary. Glenn Grayson Jr. (Bill Dunn) has a case of puppy love on Rosemary but Agnes Holden (Tessie 0 Donnell) changes his mind about that. Irene Holden (Lois Bargman) is only interested in getting the play produced and Dick Clements ( Bill Lesko) in getting his romance with Jac mended. Mrs. Sparks (Kathleen Cannon), the village gossip, and Helen (Peggy Lou McKee), the independent housekeeper, keep the audience in stitches over their antics. The author of the play, Anne Barry, played by La Verne Uramey, with the reporters from Life Magazine, Joyce Hornstrom and Charles Seaman, add brilliance and zest to the production. I he play was produced under the direc- tion of Miss Loretta Kelly. flutu i GlaU Play “ASK ME ANOTHER” 1 he action took place in the office of “ I he Herald,” an American morning newspaper. You will remember “Marco,” the mystic, “Who sees all, knows all,” and the mix-up over the boxes of cookies from Aunt Sally’s kitchen — because the stolen jewels were hidden in one of the boxes. It will make you laugh again, just to recall the cast : Richard Hancsak, Angelins Di Iorio, Audrey Smith, Don Muir, Tom Kelly, Dolores Braun, Martha Puchy, Gil Walick, Florence Bosko, Dorothy Lutcran, John Irha and John Balint. Stage crew : James Zafris, George Prodan and Joseph Stepko. “‘Ask Me Another” was under the direction of Loretta M. Kelly, and written by Glenn Hughes. 52 THIRD ANNUAL MuAical tyeAstiucd Directed by MISS FLORENCE OOC.A. MR. KIM. R IKLI.O. MR. OREX SWISHKR Pko(;ram BAND— Star Spangled Banner .......

Successful be- cause of the greater average of wins than losses ; fairly because of losing the final game of the season with Munhall. In the last days of summer practice everything seemed to be ship-shape. The boys now molded into a hard hitting team showed promise of some inter- esting battles in the coming season. On the average the team was not very heavy, but what they lacked in weight was made up in speed and skill. Swissvale was the first opponent on the list. Homestead now in fighting trim was ready for anything. This game had a bit of a grudge behind it because of last season’s game which found Swissvale on the long end by one point. How- ever this tussle did turn out different with Homestead scoring twice to Swissvale’s once. “Chick” Davies ran a punt back 65 yards for a touchdown. Asmonga made one of our extra points while Swissvale missed theirs. With the first game won, they set out to beat a highly favored Glassport team. As they say, “You can't win them all,” and Homestead dropped this one by a score of 19 to 6. Sporting a 50-50 average the Coaches Joe Sariscak and Audley Davis really worked the boys the following week, but with no avail. The team traveled to Duquesne only to be caught on the short end by a score of 25 to 7. Homestead got off to a very late start and scored in the final minutes of play with Asmonga kicking the extra point. After two setbacks in a row the boys practiced harder than ever, but this time it did some good. The next month of October was very happy both for the team and its followers, for it was full of victories, four in a row' to be exact. First was Braddock 20-0, then Taylor Allerdice 13-7. In this game, John Sobocinski, center, ran an intercepted pass back for 65 yards and a touchdown. Then came Brentwood 32-0, and Coraopolis 6-0 in this order. The final game of the season presented its complications as it usually does. The game was first postponed bv Munhall because of wet grounds and then again postponed by Homestead. The game was finally played the following Saturday on one of the most miserable days of the “46” season. It would be putting it very mild to say that the field was wet because it was so muddy that after the first few minutes of play it was almost impossible to tell who was playing for whom. During the game the cold, stinging rain that continuously fell, only let up about 5 minutes between halves. Despite the w'eather, the mud battle was very interesting with Homestead monopolizing the ball in Munhall’s territory the entire first half, but the boys just couldn’t seem to get the pigskin over for the all important six points. Munhall, in the third period, through a streak of luck carried the ball over from our 23 yard line for the only score in the game. The final whistle found the score at 6-0 in favor of our rivals, much to our disap- pointment. The spirit of the team W'as superb throughout the season. Kven in the eyes of defeat the boys bad that “Never say Die” spirit w’hich is traditional at Homestead High. 60 GlteesileadenA. Front row, left to right—Martha Puchy. Betty Mondock. Lois Bargman.

Scores most of his goals from the left hand side but he is also dangerous when under the hoop. He can match one of your jokes with three of his own. He'll be hack next year. JOHN SOBOCINSKI—Forward “Sobie” His strong body and six foot two inch frame made him an ideal pivot play maker. An all-around athlete, he is very quiet and unassuming, and his hard play is marvelous. JOHN BEECHAM—Center “Beech” He was a tower of strength in every game, controlling the rebounds and almost always winning the center jump. His ability to harness the opposing teams’ tall players is astounding. The six foot three inch Negro comes from Calhoun. JOHN MANNING—Guard “Red” Easily the best defensive player on the team. He is always assigned to guard the opponent’s biggest scoring threat. A great passer and play maker, he is content with feeding the ball to his teammates and performing the watchdog chore. He is only a junior. DONALD ASMONGA—Guard “Don’ The smallest player on the squad but the biggest name in the scoring column. A great set shot artist, he is equally accurate from near the hoop. Fast and has to be fouled to be kept from shooting. A natural athlete, he also starred in football and baseball. He was selected as an All State Player in his senior year. 64 194-5-4-6 lia JzetLcdl SeoAxut The basketball season of 1945-46 will go down in the history of Homestead High School as one of its best and most successful. Home- stead’s team, coached by Mr. Charles R. “Chick” Davies and Mr. Robert Stephens, won 27 out of 28 games played. The only setback suffered was a 45-27 defeat by a powerful Al- lentown team in the P.I.A.A. finals at Conven- tion Hall in Philadelphia. The long, hard road to Convention Hall was made still harder for us by the fact that we were playing in the newly enlarged Section VI and the teams from that section are usually regarded as some of the best in the W.P.I.A.L. After winning two exhibition games over Donora and Clark Township, our team roared through its schedule of 20 sectional games without being defeated. We then won decisions over Vandergrift, Donora and Sharon to take our fifth W.P.I.A.L. title. In the P.I.A.A. playoffs, we defeated Altoona and Warren to win the West- ern Regional Championship but we finally met our Waterloo in the form of Allentown’s big and experienced team. This season was the final playing for eight seniors on the team. Don Asmonga, John Beecham, John Sobocinski, Frank Bucko, Mike Gress, Joe McGregor, Charles Davies and Olger Burch. Asmonga’s career as a Homestead High Cager is one of the most colorful in our school’s history. He was a veteran player for three years and annually lead the scorers. In his Senior year, he scored 327 points in 28 games and was selected as an all State guard. Two other notable players who had colorful careers were John Beecham and John Sobo- cinski. Beecham was a tower of strength in every game and Sobocinski deserves honor for his good work from the pivot position with his fine passing and shooting. Kelly and Man- ning were the two Juniors on the team, both were standouts as team players and defense men. Next year’s team will be built around them. It would take a volume to tell about the high points of the season since it was filled with so many thrills and excitements. How- ever, a few of the games that stand out in our memory are as follows: HOMESTEAD 31 — M UN HALL 18 Homestead won its first important sectional game of the season over its arch rival Munhall by a 31-18 count. After playing good ball in the first half, the Maroon and White team was unable to get inside our tight defense and was held to five points in the last half. Scoring honors for the evening went to Don Asmonga who had 10 points. HOMKSTFAD 42 — McKEESPORT 36 In a game which matched the two best teams in section six, Homestead combined a brilliant display of passing with some very ac- curate shooting to hand McKeesport its first defeat of the season, 42-36. Donald Asmonga, the veteran Steeler guard performed his masterpiece that night when he scored 20 points. John Sobocinski also did well, scoring 10 points and shining on the de- fensive. HOMESTEAD 36 —TURTLE CREEK 30 Playing another tough team in the space of three days, Homestead was forced to fight hard to beat a strong Turtle Creek team. John Beecham’s great defensive play overshadowed another brilliant evening for Don Asmonga who scored 18 points. HOMESTEAD 31 — McKEESPORT 29 With two minutes to go in the last period and the score 29-24, McKeesport, Homestead rallied to tie the score and eventually win in an extra period. John Sobocinski put in a goal to make it 29-26. A few seconds later Frank Bucko made a foul to make it 29-27. With only 18 seconds left, Jack Kelly was fouled and elected to take the ball out of bounds. He shot a pass to Beecham, who turned and without looking at the basket, flung the ball straight thru the hoop to tie the score 29-29. In the overtime period, Don Asmonga and John Man- ning scored goals but Asmonga’s was disqua- lified because of his stepping, and Manning’s goal won the game. HOMESTEAD 44 — SCOTT 25 Homestead clinched the Section VI cham- pionship when they defeated Scott by a 44-25 count. It was the first sectional honor for Homestead since 1939. The Steelers swept through 19 games unbeaten and even if they had lost the next game, they would have been champions because McKeesport, the nearest contender, was behind by two full games. Don Asmonga again led the scoring parade with 15 points. HOMESTEAD 38 — DUQUESNE 36 This game, the last of the regular season, bears relating because it is a fine example of Homestead’s ability to come from behind to win. Going into the fourth period, the score was 32-23, Duquesne. With seven minutes left, the Steelers w'ere getting nowhere with the score- board reading 36-26, Duquesne. In those last seven minutes, Homestead suddenly changed its defensive tactics by checking the visitors on the front count and easily intercepting their 65 194-5-i946 QaiJzethcUl SeaAa+i passes. Our team went on to score 12 points in those last seven minutes while Duquesne was held scoreless and we won our twentieth straight game, 38-36. HOMESTEAD 40 —VANDERGRIFT 31 Having earned the right to represent Section VI in the W.P.I.A.L. playoffs, Homestead was pitted against Vandergrift, of Section V. I'he Steelers lived up to their expectations by leading all the way in downing the Kiski Valley School 40-31. Donald Asmonga was the top point getter slashing the cards for six goals and four fouls, for 16 points. The victory ad- vanced Homestead to the semi-finals against Donora, the defending champs, who had eli- minated Greensburg. HOMESTEAD 39 — DONORA 38 After enjoying a big lead for the better part of the first quarter, Homestead found itself hard pressed by the Donorans who led 25-24 at halftime. In the third period, Donora show- ed power and rolled up a seven point lead, but once again Homestead’s ability to come from behind was demonstrated. With only one mi- nute left in the last period John Sobocinski tied the game 38-38 with a lay-up shot. Se- conds later Don Asmonga made good a foul and Homestead became a finalist in the race for a new champion. HOM ESTEAD 35 — SHARON 30 Homestead won its fifth W.P.I.A.L. crown when they defeated a strong Sharon High at Beaver Falls by a 35-30 count. It was the 25th straight victory for our team which came from behind to win. After leading 7-5 at the end of the first quarter, which featured defensive basketball at its best, the Steelers lost the lead in the second period and at the half time, it was 16-15, Sharon. Homestead was unstopable in the third quarter, when it poured in a barrage of buckets to garner 16 points while Sharon was held to a mere 3. This enabled the Steelers to coast the rest of the way into victory. Donald As- monga kept a cool head throughout the game and led the Homestead attack with 12 points. John Beecham showed great defensive play despite a first quarter injury to his ankle. The victory enabled us to enter the P.I.A.A. playoffs. We drew a “bye” and met Altoona of District 5, on Friday, March 22nd. HOMESTEAD 29 — ALTOONA 27 Despite the fact that they were playing on a strange floor, and Altoona was right in its own hack vard, Homestead defeated Altoona 29-27. Our team led all the way but the terrific strain under which it had been playing began to show in the last half, but we had sufficient strength to pull through. Don Asmonga was high scorer again, matching four field and seven charity tosses for 15 points. HOMESTEAD 44 —WARREN 13 Homestead became a finalist for the state title, when it roared over a highly touted War- ren team by the lopsided 44-13 count. Our team led all the way and at half time, it was 28-7, Homestead. Every boy on the Steelers bench saw action. Asmonga and John Sob- ocinski were high scorers with 12 and 10 points respectively. As a result of their victory we earned the right to meet Allentown, the Eastern Regional Champions and defending State Champions. ALLENTOWN 45 — HOMESTEAD 27 Playing before a record crowd of 11,000 at Convention Hall in Philadelphia, Homestead finally met its masters when a fast and rugged Allentown team handed us our first defeat in 28 games. Allentown led throughout the game but the never say die” spirit of our players, especially Don Asmonga, won the admiration of all who attended. Our team was in there fighting all the way and we went down with our heads up. Asmonga was closely guarded but he man- aged to make 10 points. The rest of the team fought desperately but the experience and height of Allentown was too great to overcome. 66 tctiasi Bitat ojj Mo ne6.tead- Altao+ta Qcune D. Asmon a, J. Kelly, J. Sobocinski. R.

Homestead High was successful for the third consecutive year in taking the W.P.I.A.L. Volley Ball Championship. Coach John Con- nelly took a weakened squad to Braddock Jr. High School for the W.P.I.A.L. play offs. Man}' of his boys were members of the basket- ball team, and even in the face of such odds, the boys came through in eliminating Baldwin Township, Swissvale, and Coraopolis High School. This won the boys a trip to Penn State College as the represenatives of Western Penn- sylvania in the State play offs which were held April 6. After many difficulties the Volley Ball Squad in full force arrived at State College Herbert Holmes (Captain) Richard Manson Charles Davis Karl Wain John Beecham Earl Twyman Thomas Tirpack and again history repeated itself, for the third consecutive year, the tournament was all Homestead High and Peabody High. Homestead defeated Somerset High in the first round of play losing to Peabody in the second. In the semi-final, Homestead again was victorious in defeating New Melford 15-7; then in the final round for the third conse- cutive year we were defeated 15-5 and 15-2 by the defending State Champions Peabody High School. The members of the 1946 W.P.I.A.L. Volley Ball Championship Team and State finalists are: Ray Kulpa Gerald Wickerham Olger Burch Ray Penn Michael Gress Regis Lesko Mo+uxyia+n Glulx 1 he purpose of this organization is to create more unity and friendship among the letter- men, to create more interest in athletics and to aid in every way possible, the athletic pro- gram of the Homestead High School.
