bcuf by baif P noAontincj, the School Ifea i THE NINETEEN FORTY-SEVEN HOMESTEAD HIGH SCHOOL HOMESTEAD, PENNSYLVANIA Editor.......... Assistant Editor. RICHARD HANCSAK DOROTHY POWELL The final bellulas rung . . . we have reached the four o’clock of o«- school days. But this time there will be no ’’tomorrotvS 0M |morics. Memories of things we don’t want tiPrcave—ol fcu-nds, both students and teachers; of working our heaMoff on extra curricular activities and loafing in claflof club meetings and scrambling lot� basketball ti ets . . . and now, com- mencement. It is our hope afel qg| 0mrc, that, during your hours of reminiscence you may find within the pages of your 1947 Homesteader, those personally treasured scenes, events, and achievements that you cherished in your high school days. Alma Motel Dear old Homestead, mighty Homestead, Let us sing to you; With our heads up, gazing onward. Colors, Gold anti Blue. Carry on to highest glories, On, for those who see. Let it he 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. fcaandt ZduxxitLbn MR. SAMUEL C. BOOT President MR. GEORGE L. EWING Vice President MRS. C. W. POSEY MR. AZOR M. MASSY MR. A. C.

The dub held its annual party in November at Camp Calhoun and an Assembly program was presented in April.

Our membership is made up ol students en- rolled and also particularly interested in Mathe- matics. Because of these two requirements only the most able students are attracted to member- ship. When students arc willing, in order to further their understanding, knowledge, enjoyment and interest in Mathematics to give freely of their time and energy, then the Mathematics Club has achieved its purpose.

This league, sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh, affords competition for high school students who have special talents. The students must first compete in a district competition and if placing first, may go on to the state contests. Three students under the sponsorship of Mr. Swisher entered the contests. Earl VVicchelt, accompanied by Joan Funk, won first place laurels in the alto saxophone contest. Fourth place honors in the baton-twirling contest went to Nellie Maxwell, our head majorette. Entered in the piano competitions, Joan Novack placed fourth. All three participants received high ratings from the judges. In the years to come, it is our hope that Homestead may be represented in many more of these fine contests. PURPOSE—To teach girls from the Sophomore to the Senior year to twirl batons and to strut. Every girl has a chance to learn and Majorettes will be picked from this group. MEETINGS—We meet every Friday Period 8 in the gymnasium.

Instructor 53 Ijutuosi ouMt Meeting The Junior Town Meeting of the Air, a forum conducted by high school students on topics of current interest, was broadcast from the auditorium of Home- stead High School on February 11, 1947. Participating in this year’s program were Braddock High School—represented by Gerry Pendro and Frank Zeno, and Home- stead—represented by Dorothy Powell and Joseph Micka. The topic considered was “What are Pittsburgh’s prospects for Industrial Leadership in the Future.” Assuming an optimistic viewpoint, the Braddock High representatives cited extensive deposits of raw materials, transportation systems, new industries, civic-minded projects and authorities. However, the Homestead participants, speaking negatively, pointed out the lack of housing, polluted streams, lack of diversified industry, and high cost of transportation. Results of extensive research and preparation were shown, as both schools handled this timely topic remarkably well. 54 One Wild NiCfUt On Friday, May 2, 1947 the following seniors took part in the annual spring play—Don Muir, Joseph Micka, Florence Bosko, Lorraine Selai, Alvin Fetherolf, Mildretl Stevenson, Earl Wiechelt, Pattie Shavor, John Irha, Dolores Ritter, Dorothy Lutheran, Helen Brettschneider, Larry Roth, Ruth Pickard, Betty Ann Jacobs, George Prodan and Gilbert Walick. You will remember this play as the story of a young man who thought he had but one more night to live.

His call for football candidates brought over a hundred young aspirants. With the help of Walter Miller and Joseph Sariscak the squad was whipped into fine shape for the season’s opener. Mr. Sullivan choose Wain, Matta, and Harvan to round out his veteran line of King, I.ucas, Pitchlord, and Lesko. In the backfield along with letterman Kulpa and Harper were Mattson, Llewellyn, Petrauskas, and Zuger, the latter two, both sophomores. The Steeler’s starting eleven were small but fast. To remedy this, coach Sullivan used the “T” formation and produced a tricky, wide open brand of football. This year’s season was successful because the Steelers beat Glassport, the club that had beaten Homestead teams for three successive years. Sporting a record of six wins, two losses, and one tie, Mr. Sullivan proved that the service didn’t take anything away from his coaching ability. Homestead opened its Autumn campaign against a seasoned Brentwood team. With their size and experience they proved too much for the Steelers and won 13-6. This game showed the Steelers’ inexperience as they fumbled numerous times, with Brentwood quickly capitalizing on Homestead’s misplays for both touchdowns. Ray Kulpa ran a pass over from the eight yard line for Homestead's only touchdown. The Steelers bounced back the following game and beat St. Justin (i—0. Spanked by halfback reserve “Babe” Llewellyn, the .Steel- ers rolled up eleven first downs to the Saints’ two. Manson and Harper moved the ball to the five yard line, where Llewellyn skirted around end for a touchdown. The third test for the Steelers was the cream of the Class “A,” Glassport. 'Lite Glassers who have always been a tough test for the Gold Blue entered the game as heavy favorites. Homestead drew first blood when Ray Kulpa went over from the three yard line for six points but failed to take on the extra point. This six-point advantage was short lived how- ever, because on the next play Marcenellc dashed 72 yards for a touchdown. The attempt- ed extra point was stopped by the Steeler line. The game ended in a 6—6 stalemate, thus eliminating Glassport from the Class “A” race. Playing their first afternoon game, the Steel- ers beat a hapless Elizabeth eleven 4(i—0 in a Class “A” tilt. Llewellyn and Petrauskas were the outstanding back field men as they scored three touchdowns. Regular end Carl Lucas and reserve guard Don Muir also scored touch- downs. The I lomestead Steelers continued their fine play as they beat a heavy Swissvale team 19-14. Swissvale led at the half, 7-0, due to the list- less play of Homestead. The second half prov- ed differently, however, as Llewellyn hit pay dirt twice in the third quarter and Petrauskas tallied another touchdown in the final quar- ter. Swissvale ended the game by scoring a touchdown late in the final quarter. The game which meant most to coach Sulli- van was the Derry Township battle. It was at this school that he turned out great teams for seven straight years before coming to Home- stead. Another factor which proved interest- ing was the fact that his former assistant coach was now handling the Golden Eagles. Mr. Sullivan wasn’t disappointed as his fighting Steelers won the tilt on a quarterback sneak by John Zuger. The Eagles scored first and added the seventh point by placement. The Steelers came back to score two touchdowns and one extra point, to lead 13-7 at half time. Derry tied the game in the third period. In the final canto Ray Petrauskas passed to end Carl I.ucas who carried the ball to the nine yard stripe and set the stage for Zuger’s last minute touchdown. The fast stepping Steelers moved out of its division to meet Central Catholic. Playing a Class “AA” team proved no obstacle to them as they beat a big Viking team 19-7. Kulpa, star fullback, scored the first two tallies on a five yard sprint and again on a two yard run. The linemen, namely Carl Lucas who scored the final touchdown, King, Wain, and Pitchlord did a splendid job against their big opponents. Trying for their fifth straight win, the Homestead Steelers met an obstacle in the form of Coraopolis. Homestead led up until the final quarter when Coraopolis scored on a long pass to win the game 13-7. Walter Harper ran ten yards for Homestead’s only touchdown. The Homestead Steelers finished the season successfully by beating a stubborn Trinity team 6-0. A first period pass from quarterback Zuger to Carl Lucas proved the margin of victory. The game marked the last scholastic plaving days for eight seniors, including Lucas and Wain the terminals, tackle Regis Lesko, Her- man King guard, backs Dick Manson, Walter Harper, and Ray Kulpa, and also Don Muir a reserve guard. The team of 1946 will always be remem- bered for its great spirit and the will-to-win. 60 GUee decutesiA. Left row. front to back—Audrey Smith. Helen Podlaski. Lois Jean Reidosh.

With ex-Navy Lieutenant Walter Wall Miller and his able assistant. Mr. Robert Steph ens at the stem, they guided the blue and gold to twenty victories and three defeats. I he return of Jack Kelly and John Manning from last year's W.IM.A.L. champs and state runners-up pro vided the neticleus for this year’s team. Homestead won seven straight exhibition tilts over such teams as Donora. Am bridge, and turtle Creek. In the pre-season games coach Miller used a five man line-up consisting of .tiger and Pelrauskas. both fine sophomore athletes at the forward positions. George Banchansky. six feet three inch junior at center, and co-captains Manning and Kelly at the guard posts. Section VI was changed again for the second straight year with seven teams taken out and four new teams added making it a seven team section. The Steelers lost its sectional crown to the Duquesne Dukes after a torrid play-off game at Pitt Stadium before 2000 wildly cheering fans. This season ended the scholastic careers of Jack Kelly. John Manning, and Ray Kulpa. Kelly and Manning played three years on the varsitv team and both were regulars on the team that played in the state finals at Philadelphia in 1946. The boys played under the tutelage of “Chick Davies for two years and one year under Walt Miller. Ray Kulpa was a three letter man for three years and was a reserve on last year's fine W.P.I.A.I.. team. I his season provided many thrills but it would take a full book to relate all of them. HOMESTEAD 47—WASHINGTON 36 The opening league game for the Steelers was Wash ington High, a new addition to Section VI. In the first quarter the fast Homestead quintet ran up fourteen points while holding the home team to four. Holding a slim five point margin at the half, the Steelers came back strong in the third stanza to build up a decisive 39-27 lead. Jack Kelly led the scorers with 10 points. HOMESTEAD 24—Ml?NHALL 27 Homestead, trying for its tenth consecutive victory, met twice beaten Munhall. fter holding a 16-15 lead at the half, the1 Indians throttled the Steelers high scoring machine and won a stunning upset 27-24. I his upset victory snapped Homestead’s win streak at niiu straight. Diminutive Danny Hanus took scoring honors for the Steelers with 7 points.

I his defeat threw the section into a three way tic . Danny Hanus piloted the victors with 14 points. Kellv and Manning contributed 9 marks each. HOMES I I I) 25—DUCH ESNE 31 Playing before a capacity crowd, the Homestead Steelers suffered its second league defeat at the hau ls of Duquesne. Inabilitv to make their free throws, and unable to solve the Dukes sliding zone cost the Steelers the first place position. Duquesne was outscored in the field goal department eleven to ten but made II out of 16 free throws as compared to Homestead’s 3 in ten tries. “Red Manning led the scorers with 10 points. HOMES I I l) 41—Ml Ml 1.1. 31 Gaining revenge for the 27-24 defeat Munhall handed them earlier in the season, the Steelers hung a decisive 41-31 defeat on its arch rival. Play ing on the Homestead hardwood before an overflowing crowd, the Steelers and Indians fought on even terms the first two quarters with Homestead leading 17-16 at the intermission. Using a zone defense the second half, the Steelers slowed Mun hall’s attack down to a walk while it unleashed its own terrific scoring power to beat the maroon and while. Jack Kellv put on a brilliant displav of shooting to garner 19 points on six field goals and seven fouls. HOMES I I D 39—Dl (M ESNE 34 Homestead and Duquesne played the final league game of the season at Duqucsiu Gardens, a neutral floor. Playing before 5200 fans, the largest crowd ever to witness a sectional game, the Steelers handed Du quesne a 39-34 defeat. Playing without the services of John Manning, the Steelers took the lead early in the first quarter and were never behind throughout the remainder of the game. Cieorge Banchansky was a nemesis to the little- Dukes throughout the game as lu used his six feet frame to control both boardv Johnny .uger. who replaced Man ning displayed fine ball handling ability to set up numerous shots.

I he blue and gold led at the end of the first two periods 21-20. Homestead also led at the three quarter mark, but a fourth-period rally enabled the strong Duquesne cage aggregation to drop in 15 points to take the contest and also the section. lop scorer for the night was veteran Jack Kelly with 17 points. His chief aid in this department was Ray Petrauskas with nine. Even though Coach Miller and his team was clown hearted after this defeat, they received some satisfaction in the knowledge that the Dukes went to the stale finals before losing to Allentown. This season will live long in the memories of those who saw how the Homestead lads fought hard in every game for their two grand coaches.

Mostacyiam Club This past school year the club did not participate as an active organization, because of the fact that both Mr. Miller and Mr. Sullivan the sponsors had been away in the Service. It is the Monogram Club’s hope that it will take its just place in the activities ol Homestead Senior High School in 1947-1948. The object of the club is to get boys to train to cooperate more closely with the faculty and with each other. It is a step forward in sell government and teaches sell reliance. feaAelxUl - 194-7 COACH—Mr. R. E. Stephens; Assistant Coach, Mr. Joseph Sarjscak.

Last year, in com- petition with four of these live teams, Homestead won the sectional title. 66 cJlanteliead Scltaal Valley fecdl 7eam STATE CHAMPIONS ‘‘11 at first you don’t succeed, Try, 'Fry, Again.” This was the motto of the volleyball team who, after trying for four straight years, came through this year to annex the state title. The Gold and Blue “spikers” Coached by Victor J. Sullivan, won the W.P.I.A.L. championship for the fifth straight time and then went on to capture the P.I.A.A. honors in the tournament at State College. In annexing the state title for the first time the Homesteaders triumphed over Peabody, of Pittsburgh, who nosed them out in the final round, on three previous occasions. Peabody copped the first match taking two out of three games but the “Steelers” came right back to win the second match necessitating a playoff match. The Gold and Blue team was at top form in this match and took the first game 15-10 and sewed up the state championship by taking the next game 15-11. In winning their fifth straight W.P.I.A.L. title the Homesteaders eliminated Swissvale and Penn Township and trounced Monaca in two straight games 15-2, 15-3. As a result of these two championships the Homestead trophy case will be enlarged by two more trophies while the players each received two medals. W.P.I.A.L.

While lie was waiting the bell-boy, THOMAS JOHNSON, brought a telegram for him which was from ALVIN FEATHEROLF inviting John to visit him and his wife, the former MILDRED STEV- ENSON. Just then Mr. and Mrs. RAY KULPA (DOROTHY BOB IK) registered for a suite of rooms. Flies were celebrating their IOth anniversary. The clerk. PALL CARNEY, congratulated them and called the porter, WALTER HARPER, to earn their hags for them. 1 lie hostess DOLORES BOY 1 ON. had a long chat with all of them. John grew restless and bought a pack of cigarettes from the cigarette girl. At DREY SMI I H. He then went to the dining room. I lie waiter. RICHARD HANCSAK. showed him to a table and a waitress, JEAN ANDERSON, took his order to the cook, AL HVOXDOVICH. While he was eating, the floor show started. EARL WIECHEL I and his hand were there with ANGEI.INE DilORIO as vocalist and the Four Queens (MARTHA Pl'CHY. MARGAREI PODOMNIK. MARTHA HAVICS. and NN I.CCSKO) as an added attraction. I hen NELLIE MAXWEI I . PATSY JORDANOFF. FLORENCE BOSKO. and RUTH PICKARD did a dance number. JOHN BALIN' T, the great comedian, told a few jokes. BILL SABO, the swoon crooner, was supposed to sing, hut lie developed a sore throat and DOROTHY MORGAN, the hotel nurse, had to spray his throat. He couldn't go on so GEORGE WARD took his place. He sang 'I Love You” and SHIRLEY NATTER, who was a hotel guest swooned. looking around. John saw the two rival basketball coaches, JOHN MANNING and HERKY KING, talking over plays. The famous movie star. VIRGINIA CLOHER 1 Y, was there with her new leading man. SHELTON BRADY. In one corner there was the ladies’ socialite club with the President, MARY J. SULLIVAN, calling them to order. The members were GAYLE SH RPE. KAY SHAFFER. MARY CHIODO. CARMELA FIORE NNA MAE O’TOOLE, and LOIS EI I GERALD. In the other corner was the great scientist. 'KI I WAIN, who discovered that people couldn't see in the morning because they didn't open their eyes. He was sitting with DANNY Ll'CSKO. the famous underweight boxer and his trainer EDWARD SMITH. Dr. DON Ml'IR arrived with his nurse. BETTY ANN JACOBS. They were accompanied by the news commcn tator, FRANK NICELY and a new radio star, RFI'A POSGE. After lunch. John then went to see his old lma Mater. He called a taxi and who do you think was driving—none other than PAUL JANOSKO. When he arrived at the school who should he holding the door open in his new role as principal, but BILL SCHEMPP. LEONA ASMONCA. his secretary, was giving admission blanks to the pupils. DOLORES BRAUN, the girls' gym teach cr. was jumping around the halls thinking up new exercises for the girls and HELEN BRF I I - SCHNEIDER. English teacher, was giving her autograph to all the students—on library slips, of course. GEORGE PRODAN was still fixing the stage, hut now he is the janitor and GEORGE PAI.KO is his assistant. WALLACE NOWINOWSKI was leaching math and SHIRLEY E XL FIR. history. BILL I.ANGHAN was cjuite busy keeping the children’s pets out of the school. Going across the street to the store, John was surprised to find HAROLD REED and GEORGE KOLESAR running it. Whiz--------! What was that that went down the street? Was it Superman or the Flash? No. just EDWARD (.RIB trying out his new Super-Sonic Model. Then going to Jackson's, John found PEGGY HOLLERAX still selling hotdogs and AI.M A KUENZIG still eating them. As he walked down Maple Street. John saw GEORGE CONN ELY standing in front of an apartment building on 16th. He owns the building and SYLVIA WALKER, the retired nurse, and her husband, Reg. are living there. As he continued walking, he met JOF. MILLER. Postmaster, going to work and REGIS LESKO carrying the mail on lOlli Avenue. In side the Post Office he saw MARGARET CAIN, official stamp licker and VIOLET CHESMAR. stamp seller. What’s that? Fire! There goes GEORGE BARDOWSKY, Eire Chief and his helpers, PAUL BADO. RAY DUKE, EARL I WYMAN, and HERBER I I HORN HILL. Getting thirsty, John went into the U. C.. now owned by PATTY SHAVOR. who spent so much money in there, that she finally owned the place. MARY SPA L EA and STELLA WERYHA were working there, taking turns as cashier and selling candy. RI I A SINK and ALICE 68 ?57 PODLASK1 were in the hack making candy and DOLORES McA I EE sampled it before it was sold. DOROTHY WULF was the manager and GILBER I WALICK. the soda jerk. Walking along the avenue John saw “The Exclusive Dress and Hat Shop” run by M RY BANIK and MARGIE CESAROW. What’s that------a bird’s nest or a flower garden? Oh, I see. It's just JENNIE BOLGER wearing one of their latest hats. Across the street was a Grocery Store run by ANNA MARIE URBAN and GLORIA FASSOLI I IS. Inside, RI I A RESETAR and ELVIRA DiROCCO were buying groceries for their husbands’ supper. The store next to it was the Doughnut Shoppe run by SALLY OLESON and FRANCES BACIK. After eating one of Sally’s doughnuts. John had to go across the street to the dentist. DR. LAWRENCE ROTH and have his teeth put hack in. DORO THY JEZIAK applied the anesthetic. Coming out of Dr. Roth’s office. John met MICHAEL GAYDOS, another patient. And whom do you think he met coming out of Dr. EUGENE WOOD’S office—none other than JOSEPH MICK A. the person he was looking for. Together they went to Joseph’s office to talk over a business proposition with JAMES McLAUGHLIN. They wanted to buy some stock in the High Note Music Co. YOLANDA DICK- SON, the secretary took notes on what they did. fter conferring for some time, the janitor, FRANK Me WILSON. came in to clean and chased them out. Getting into Joseph's car they discovered a ticket left by HENRY GRIB because they were parked on the sidewalk. Going up to the police station they saw SHIRLEY RIPPLE and NORMA RENT bailing their husbands out of jail again. After CARL Ll'CAS (Police Chief) fixed up their fine they went across the street to FRANK GYURISIN’S barber shop. ROMAN LEDX1NSKI cut their hair and MARY POPIK fixed their nails. Wanting to get a record for his best girl, John went down to the Manhattan, now run by ULYSSES BENNETT and LESTER JEFFERSON. WINIFRED MILLER waited on them and they bought Einstien’s Boogie by LEO KING and JAMES MOSLEY. On their way out. they met Mr. and Mrs. LESLIE MONTGOMERY (BARBARA COUCHMAN) coming out of ANNA MAY CONYERS’ and ANN MOOREFIELD'S candy store. DOLORES PURIFOY and CALLIK MAE NESMI TH came out chewing on some carmels made by DORIS MIDDLETON'S new candy factory. Looking across the street, they saw DOROTHY LANCE cleaning the windows of her home and WILLIAM WHEELER ringing her door bell in his job as a Fuller brush man. What’s that—an air raid siren? No, just OLIVE MOOREFIELD coming around the corner yodeling on her way to club at DORO THY POWELL’S house. She met LOUISE MON TGOMERY and ETTA WYNN, who were also club members. They had just stopped at JEAN GREEN'S Greenhouse to purchase flowers. ROBERT MA THEWS was there watering the plants and KEN- NETH RUCKER was buying a corsage for his wife to celebrated their anniversary. Then Joe and 'Iggy” left for the Hurdy Gurdy Laundry owned by VERA AFANASIEFF, FLO BENDER, and OLGA ESACHENKO. The girls were humming gaily as they ironed. In the back of the laundry they could hear the Super Duper Delux washing machines run In the very capable DOROTHY LUTHERAN and BETTY STEWART. After leaving they met JESSIE TRUAX and MARJORIE MULKEARN selling apples on a corner. Around the corner was SHIRLEY SULLIVAN’S furniture store and a crowd of people watching MARIE BRADISH and THERESA MERCURI, who are chief testers for Spring and Bounce Mattresses. As they were hungry again, they stopped at HELEN MIHAILOFF’S gypsy tea room where MARY LENGYEL read their lea leaves and told what the future held for them. At last it was time for John to leave for Detroit on a business trip. They hurried to the Dipsey Lipsv Doodle Airport and were greeted by JEAN KAY and JEAN SCOTT, air hostesses, who seated them next to LOUISE KONF.FF and ELEANOR KOR .UN. residents of Detroit. After being in the air, John discovered the pilot to lx WALTER MALUTINOK. Two hours later they stopped to refuel at the Kibbie Eater’s Airport. There they saw LORRAINE SF.LAI selling balloons and HENRY GRIB buying peanuts from BILL PROUDFOOT. Returning to the plane they found BOB VALOCIK. the mechanic, checking the motor and CHUCK SUT- TON putting in the additional baggage. As the plane soared high in the sky and the wings dipped in the rays of the setting sun, John thinks back on everyone he has seen and smiled in amusement.
