We began by choosing a theme for the book; and what better one could there be than a circus, a symbol of our last year’s Prom? Under the direction of Miss Rolfe, our annual soon became a reality. Martha Jane Dixon, as editor, and Joan Novack as the assistant editor were the leaders to spur us on. Our business managers, Jimmie McLean and Scotty Forbes did a wonderful job on their adver- tising. The fine art work of Anna Marie Schnur can be seen through-out the book. And we never could have gone on without Mary Domen and Jeni Belle Ritter as our typists. —so many things to do,—so many hours of work—but we enjoyed every minute of it. And we sincerely hope you like our finished product.

TICKET TAKERS The Math Club meets every other Wednesday afternoon, Period 8 to discuss various proofs, famous Mathematicians, and many problems which cannot be touched upon during class time. Our membership is made up of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors enrolled in a Math course, who are particularly interested in this subject. Because of this requirement, our most able students from all classes are attracted to membership. When students are willing, in order to further their under- standing, knowledge, enjoyment and interest in Mathematics, to give freely of their time and energy, then the Math Club has achieved its purpose.

That was the 64 dollar question before April 30 when Ghost of the Air” was presented. Even the cast was kept in suspense because Mrs. Carey had withheld the last two pages of the script and it was next to impossible to track down the murderer by merely reading the play. Most of the main characters had threatened to kill the victim, Gordon Mowbray, Radio Station KUX’s announ- cer, so it was a tossup as to who had carried out his intention first. Since comedian Fred Denny, songstress Betty Mack, pianist Sandy Foster, the kiddies’ bedtime storyteller Aunty Baird, and the ambitious announcer to be, Richard Travers, were all contestants for the position of star performer at Station KUX, there was a great deal of suspicion and jealousy among them. Mr. Watson, Station KUX’s President and his secretary Jane Jackson, com- pleted the office staff. Detective Jasper Holmes, incidentally no relation to Sher- lock, attempted to untangle the mystery when things became even more involved as the ghost’s voice was heard over the microphone and Gordon’s sister Madame Zenia, possessor of occult powers, and mysterious Iris Blaine appeared. Accusations were hurled back and forth and no solution seemed evident until April 25 when, to everyone’s amazement—Comedian Fred Denny turned out to be the murderer. Mowbray had been blackmailing him for months until, in desperation, he finally poisoned him. It was more than just a phrase” to say that GHOST OF THE AIR” kept everyone in suspense until the final curtain. 57 SIDE SHOW Gridiron Gorillas First row, I. to r.—George Banchansky, John Matta.

Class A race in the second quarter of their initial contest when a Brentwood pass resulted in a touch- down and proved to be the winning margin. Both squads scored early in the first period, the visitors on their first offensive play after recovering a Steeler’s fumble. A few minutes later Lewellyn circled right end and raced forty-nine yards behind perfect interference for our lone touchdown. Homestead 13—Braddock 0 It took the Steelers three trips to play this contest but according to the old say- ing the third time is a charm,” the Gold and Blue emerged victorious. On a long pass, Petrauskas to Hruska, the latter galloped twenty-nine yards for the score. Petrauskas’ kick slit the cross bar for the extra point. In the middle of the third frame after two first downs by McLaughlin, Petrauskas raced twenty- seven yards to make the score 13-0. Homestead 13—Glassport 26 The Steeler defense bagged down in this contest and they met with defeat. Glassport scored first after they blocked and recovered Petrauskas’ punt on Home- stead’s 11. They scored twice again in the third quarter and finally in the fourth. Lewellyn countered in the 3rd period for our first score. In the final frame Petrauskas plunged from the enemy one foot line to make the score 26-13. Homestead 19—Swissvale 6 A determined bunch of Steelers, after being scored on early in the first quarter, came back to take the lead 7-6, in the second stanza, and then punched across two more markers in the final half to defeat a highly favored Swissvale eleven 19-6. Homestead 6—Derry Township 19 The Homesteaders must have thought a new rule had been passed the night of this game, making it permissable to throw passes into the arms of the opponent. On three occasions this occured and the result was three Derry Township touchdowns. Homestead 6—Duquesne 6 The highly favored Duquesne eleven got the surprise of their lives the night of October 24th, for on this date the Homesteaders literally swept the dukes off their feet. The Steelers out-did the opponents in every department but the scoring, for the game ended deadlocked, 6-6. Early in the game on a series of Tine plays the local boys advanced the pig skin to the Dukes’ 2nd yard line. From here Petrauskas plunged for the first score. A Steeler fumble in the second quarter resulted in the Dukes’ only score. The second half was played on even terms. Each team recovered a few enemy fumbles, but neither was able to capitalize on them. Homestead 6—Trinity 0 For the second consecutive year the Sullivan lads took a close game from Trinity by a 6-0 score. Both teams were handicapped by a sloppy field. Zuger took a Trinity punt and raced to the enemy 31 yard line. Two plays later Petrauskas passed to McLaughlin for 26 yards. Petrauskas completed the final five yards for 6 points. The half ended a Homestead threat to score, as they reached the Trinity 17 yard line. 01 Basketball 1947-1948 Homestead 36—Aliquippa 48 After setting back McKees Rocks 45-21 and Allegheny 39-24, the Gold and Blue traveled to Aliquippa and received their first taste of defeat, 48-36. The opposition had an on” night, making about 55% of their shots. Ray Petrauskas led the attack, garnering five field goals and seven fouls for a seventeen point total. Homestead 40—McKeesport 41 The Steelers ran through the remainder of their non-league games without a defeat, but were turned back by a strong McKeesport team 41-40 in the opening section contest. The Homesteaders were 10 points behind with less than three minutes remain- ing. At this point they found the range, and tied the score 40-40, Mope” Harvan contributing three field goals. Ray Petrauskas was high man with 18 markers, 11 of these coming in the final half. Homestead 50—Clairton 43 After a very close battle, the Steelers came from behind in the last three minutes and beat the Clairton Bears by a score of 50-43 on the latter’s court. Behind through the first three periods, the Steelers came to life in the final quarter, outscoring the enemy by 18 to 8. The scoring honors went to Hanus with 14 markers, followed closely by Petrauskas and Dzubak with 13 and 11 respectively. Homestead 30—Duquesne 29 When attempts failed to have this contest played in The Gardens” the local boys traveled to Duquesne and defeated the Dukes 30-29, the winning margin coming in the last three seconds. The game was closely contested throughout, neither of the teams holding a lead of more than 5 points at any time during the contest. The Dukes were leading 29-28 with three seconds remaining. At this point Danny Hanus sank a shot from over %ths of the floor to give the Gold and Blue a victory. Homestead 33—Munhall 29 The battle between the Steelers and their rivals from o’er McClure Street was a see-saw affair, with the locals, however, coming out victorious 33-29. The lead changed hands many times during the contest, and the final out- come was not decided until late in the final quarter. Danny Hanus was high man with 12 points, while Red” Huber garnered 14 markers for the Indians. Homestead 30—McKeesport 39 The Steelers went down to defeat at the hands of McKeesport for the second time 30-39, on the latter’s court. Danny Hanus and Ray Petrauskas sparked the Gold and Blue attack, netting 10 and 9 markers respectively. Homestead 44—Munhall 40 Although the final score was close it does not tell the complete story of the game. The local boys enjoyed a large lead throughout the first three quarters, leading 34-22 at this point. It was in the last quarter that the Indians got hot and outscored the Steelers 18-9. Petrauskas and Zuger led for the locals with 14 and 10 points respectively. Homestead 34—Duquesne 43 The Miller men dropped to a second place tie with Duquesne when the latter defeated the Gold and Blue 43-34 in the final game of the season. The Steelers came within two points of the Dukes 34-32, late in the third quarter, but at this point the enemy began to pull away. Petrauskas garnered four field goals and 5 fouls to lead the scoring with 1 3 points. G2 Cagey Cagers First row. I. to r.—John Zuger, Raymond Fetrauskas. Charles Razmic, Daniel Hanus, Raymond Weber.

Sullivan duplicated their feat of last year when they not only won the W.P.I.A.L. championship but also went on to annex the state title. In capturing the I .I.A.A. honors the •'Steelers. for the second straight vear, topped Peabody High of Pittsburgh who were the leaders in the state until Homestead came into the picture. In their march to the top of the scholastic group the Homestead representatives copped the W.P.I.A.L. title for the sixth straight year defeating Swissvale in two straight games, then went on to win the Western Reg- ional honors defeating Peabody in two out of three matches. They won the stale title at State College de- feating North York, winner of the Eastern Regional tournament. In the W.P.I.A.L. tournament played at Braddock the Gold and Blue swept through the three rounds without a loss. They defeated Swissvale 13-8 and 15-7 for the championship. In the first round of the Western Regional. Home- stead encountered little difficulty in trouncing Somer- set 15-9 and 15-8. In the finals they defeated Peabody 13-9 and 15-11 in the first set but the Pittsburghers came back to take the second set 5-15 and 11-15. In the third and final set Pealxxlv got off to a good start by winning the first game 10-15. Ihe Steelers were not disheartened however, and came back fighting to chalk up two straight victories 15-9 and 15-11 to earn the right to represent the Western part of the state in the P.I.A-A. playoff. The Homesteaders blew hot and cold in the state touroev, but after a hard fought battle defeated North York taking two out of three sets. I he Gold and Blue started out like a whirlwind chalking up a 15-4 victorv in the first game but dropped the second 10-15. They were in championship form in the third game and blanked the opponents 15-0. The second set was the hardest fought of all the title games, the first match going to 16-18 Indore North York triumphed. Home- stead evened the score taking the next match 15-8 and the Easterns deadlocked the series taking the third game 17-15. With the state title at stake the Western representatives took two out of three games 15-2. 13-15, and 15-9 to annex their second straight P.I.A.A. cham- pionship. W.P.I.A.L.
