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.

June Mad was the mirthful comedy presented by the Junior Class on November 19, 1948. Who could forget Penny, who thought that a dress would make her grown-up and attractive to rich Rodger (The Wolf) Van Vleck! Patient Mrs. Wood tries to convince her daughter that it takes more than make-up and a glamorous dress to make a girl into a woman of the world.” But Penny learns by the best teacher —experience—when she does glamorize” herself for a party and everyone laughs. Penny finally finds out what her Mother had been talking about when Chuck Harris—the boy next door—is missing after flying his glider over the lake. Wit and humor were predominant throughout the entire three acts. Remember Milly Lou, who was perpetually tagging after Mervyn, saying Can I come, too, Mervyn?” Or Elmer Tuttle, the hired man, and his girl, Effie who didn’t care if it were showing? Last but not least there was Officer Clancy with his Irish dialect. Remember, Remember, for who ever will forget the class of 1950’s Junior play which was produced under the capable direc- tion of Miss Anne O’Leary! Rita Despot Last year Rita Despot was rated excellent and qualified for state championship in the Pennsylvania Forensic Music League Contest for baton twirling. In the state contest she was classified under the second section rating as excellent. This year Rita again entered the contest and was rated in first place, superior. She is now ready to compete in the state contest which will be held later this year.

Hildegarde, a very unhappy teenager, enters a debate hoping to attract attention and a prom bid. She ends by having her father accused of being a drunkard. This makes her parents quite unhappy but when Paige distributes their old love letters—Well!!! Mrs. Dolson who really feels quite sorry for her daughter, arranges a prom date for her. Freddie is a very nice boy except for the fact that he wears knickers. This sends her brother Bob and Jimmy and their friends Ellie Mae and Jill into fits of laughter. She insists she will not go, until her father interferes. It seems Mr. Shermer, Freddie’s father, is the president of the bank where Mr. Dolson works. Hildegarde is then accused of breaking into the Shermer home but Freddie admits it was he. He gets his long pants and takes Hildegarde to the Prom, in style. This three act comedy was presented under the capable direction of Miss Anne O’Leary. Although it was work, the whole cast will admit it was fun Shaking the Family Tree.” Cast of Characters Hildegarde Dolson JEAN BACIK Mr. Dolson JAMES BAKER Mrs. Dolson .. .............................SHIRLEY GRAY Sally BERNADINE CASTIGNARO Bob daniel McLaughlin Jimmy .....................................JOSEPH RUFFING Paige ...................................

And sure enough they started on the right road by beating a highly touted Penn team. It was also a personal victory for Coach Sullivan because Pro Burton coached him in high school. Scoring for the locals were Petrauskas and Lewellyn. Homestead 13—Glassport 27 The Steelers after winning two straight finally dropped their first Class A game to their old jinx Glassport. It was a hard fought contest but a strong passing attack by the Gladiators enabled them to garner four touchdowns. Petrauskas and Lewellyn did the scoring for the Steelers. Homestead 0—Swissvale 19 Playing in a field of mud Homestead dropped another Class A game to the tune of 19-0. Swissvale capitalized on a weak pass defense by the Steelers and thereby marched off with three touchdowns, enough to give them a victory over the home team. Homestead 0—Canonsburg 0 Canonsburg brought a big team to Homestead but knowing that size doesn’t mean everything the Steelers knocked them out of Class A running with a tie game. Petrauskas’s injury was a severe blow to the Steelers but they gave a good account of themselves in his absence. Homestead 13—Duquesne 25 The Steelers were set for this game and should have won, but a weak pass defense proved fatal once more and the Dukes scored two touchdowns through the air. The Steelers’ forward wall played well and also paved the way for the scoring done by Lewellyn and Petrauskas. Homestead 6—Tarentum 6 Homestead finally proved their capability of playing good football by tying a strong Tarentum team which had won seventeen straight games. Zuger scored for the locals thereby destroying all hopes of Tarentum’s perfect season. Playing their last high school game for Homestead were: Petrauskas, Zuger, Lewellyn, Matta, Brown, E. Meggett, Atkinson, Razmic, Macko, Ruffing, D. Sullivan, Lance, Cogley, and Little. 65 First row, I. to r.—Mr. Stephens, John Zugcr, Donald McLane, Raymond Petrauskas, Mr. Miller.

The Steelers after trailing throughout the game, went on a scoring spree in the last two minutes and tallied 8 points. Zuger and Petrauskas headed the scoring column with 9 points apiece. Homestead 39—Clairton 24 The locals took their second straight league game from Clairton by the score of 39-24. The game turned out to be a defensive game, whereas, many fouls were committed. Zuger was able to garner 5 field goals to take the scoring laurels in this contest. Homestead 39—Donora 37 The Steelers encountered stiff competition at Donora and the Dragons seemed to be holding the upper hand until Matta’s entrance in the last three minutes of the game. His entrance seemed to be the needed factor and the Steelers went on from there to a well earned victory. Homestead 44—Munhall 38 The Indians were determined to knock Homestead from the unbeaten ranks in Section Six. It was a close game until the final moments of the game when Lally made his entrance and succeeded in garnering seven quick points and enough to win the ball game. Homestead 46—Duquesne 39 The Steelers and Dukes, the only undefeated teams in Section Six, met on the local’s floor and the Steelers emerged from ..the game, still on top. Homestead committed many fouls which almost proved costly but the Steelers’ height proved to be the deciding factor. McLane, Ramsey, and Matta had 12, 11, and 10 points respectively. Homestead 54—McKeesport 30 Homestead met the Tigers on the Homestead floor and it was a different story from the previous game. This time the Steelers were able to take the game in stride and win by the score of 54-30. Homestead 56—Clairton 25 The Steelers traveled to Clairton and brought back their seventh straight victory in league competition. The local’s defense proved to be too much for Clairton, whereas, they scored only 5 field goals throughout the game. Hood and Petrauskas set the scoring pace with 10 points respectively. Homestead 43—Donora 27 Homestead continued in their winning form and defeated Donora 43-27. The visitors led by two points at half time, but those words in the dressing room put the zip into the Steelers and they held the Dragons to nine points in the second half while they were able to score twenty-six. Homestead 50—Munhall 37 The Steelers copped another victory and also became the champs of Section Six. It was a close ball game but the visitors faded in the last few minutes of the game and the locals took this advantage by adding six more points. Lally took scoring honors with 14 points. Homestead 51—Duquesne 48 The Steelers made it ten straight victories in Section Six by defeating Duquesne 51-48. The Dukes led throughout the game but a determined bunch of Homestead lads stayed in there and scored six points in the last twenty-five seconds of the game. Petrauskas, Zuger, and McLane had 15, 13, and 12 points respectively in that order. 67 W. P. I. A. L. Playoff Games Homestead 46—Brentwood 41 The Steelers, having previously defeated Brentwood by fifteen points, found the going to be a little rougher in this game. The game was close, with the lead changing hands until the final moments of the game when the Steelers took the lead and never lost it. Brentwood capitalized on many fouls committed by the Steelers and scored 19 points via the free throw line. Zuger and McLane led the scoring for the Steelers with 10 points respectively. Homestead 52—Charleroi 46 Homestead won a berth in the semi-final round of the W.P.I.A.L. tournament by defeating Charleroi. The Steelers jumped to an early lead but Charleroi kept in the ball game by taking advantage of many fouls committed by the locals. Petrauskas, McLane and Zuger had 13, 12, and 10 points in that order. Homestead 41—Midland 38 The usual last quarter rally of the Steelers failed but they still copped the game from Midland, whereby they will play in the final game of the W.P.I.A.L. The Steelers held the lead throughout the game and led at one time by 13 points. Matta, McLane, and Petrauskas left the game on personal fouls, so every boy on the bench took part. Matta set the scoring pace for the locals with twelve points. Homestead 28—Aliquippa 40 The Steelers dropped the final contest of the W.P.I.A.L. to a strong Aliquippa team. The Steelers were behind by eight points at half-time and could never over- come the lead. Aliquippa’s height proved to be advantageous and was the deciding factor in the contest. Zuger, Petrauskas, Matta, Ramsey, and Macko are the seniors who are leaving and will be missed when next year rolls around. CHEERLEADERS Left lo right — Louise Rallog, Wilma Preksta, Judith Asmonga.

Volleyball Champs Volleyball and championships are synonymous as far as Homestead High is concerned. Displaying their superiority once again the Gold and Blue spikers” swept through the W.P.I.A.L. tournament to retain their title and capture the championship for the sev- enth straight year. Their hopes for the State honors for the third year were shattered when they were eliminated in the Western Regional playoffs by Peabody of Pittsburgh. They forced the city representatives to a third set before they bowed in defeat. The season’s record shows the Steelers” victorious in 10 matches against the two defeats, which were suffered at the hands of Peabody. In pre-tournament matches the spikers” of Coach Vic Sullivan scored victories over Braddock, Penn Township, Turtle Creek and Monaca without drop- ping a decision. Defending their W.P.I.A L. title the Homesteaders swept through four rounds eliminating West View, Moncssen, Munhall and Swissvale in straight sets. The Gold and Blue were forced to display their best form in the final match to duplicate their feat of 1948 when they triumphed over Swissvale 16-14 and 15-13. Homestead and Peabody both defeated Conneaut- ville in straight sets to set the stage for the final match of the Western Regional play-offs. The Steelers’’ took the first game 15-10 but the city representatives came back to take the next two games. In the second match Peabody annexed the opening game 15-10 but the Sullivan men rallied to take the next two and even the series. In the deciding match the Steelers” started off with a victory in the first game 10-15 but weakened in the next two and suffered defeats 15-6 and 15-4 to end their hopes of repeating as State champs.
