Superintendent Here is an amazing saying, ”He didn't know that it couldn’t be done; so he did it.” Many times and places, on a high and low level of accomplish- ment, this principle of human endeavor has been proved a true and sound one. Today you are young, confident, and ambitious. You look for- ward to the achievement of many good and inter- esting things. If you do not let occasional failures discourage you, you will be able to carry out some of your plans and accomplish many wonderful things for yourself, your family, and your com- munity. 1 1 DWIGHT H. CONNER M. Principal This year has been marked by singular achieve- ments, significant among which is the induction of Athena chapter of the National Honor Society. This is an important means of giving recognition to those members of the Senior class who have excelled in all phases of their school life. The addition of an Art course to the curriculum has made possible further enrichment for those who have special talents. It is our sincere hope that these additions to our curriculum will have provided for many an inspiration to go on to achieve greater things in the future. Congratula- tions and best wishes to the Class of 1950. 12 FACULTY Edgar Aiello II.A.. M.A.. Duquesne University Music Rudolph R. Chasser B.S., University of Maryland M.S..

JENKINS Left to right—Ha el Hallam, Elmer Hlavaty, Mr. Jenkins. Edward Puchy, Charles Rettger. The History of the Senior Class We remember our first day at Senior High. We were frightened and the Sen- iors didn’t help matters by ignoring us, but finally we came to love the place. Why, we even thought about coming back again the next year. So we helped raise funds for the class by having a movie. When '49 came, we were Juniors and all excited. We worked like demons rais- ing money for the prom. We sold pop and candy at the basketball games and even in the halls at noon. Mr. Jenkins still dreams about candy bars. We had a Junior play, ’ June Mad which all the Juniors agreed was the best play Senior High ever had. We even managed to get the class rings changed a little. Meanwhile the class president and officers were hard at work appointing committees and buying supplies for the big social event of the year. T1 he school was in a dither with the main topic of discussion The Prom.” The girls will never forget those roses. We dreamt about them constantly. And the boys will never forget the paint. It belonged on the fences and posts but we couldn t help it if it splashed a little. Finally the work was finished and we looked with pride at the southern garden, complete with rose arbor, lamp posts, and a big yellow moon. And to finish the wonderful school year of ’49, we had a class picnic at South Park. Remember how we felt our Senior year, when everyone realized that we were doing some things for the last time. We thought about it, but we were pretty busy. There were the Homesteader and the Senior Play to work on and a Kids Day” program to write. And our evenings were very busy with a swell basketball team to cheer on to victory. Then suddenly it was over and Commencement was here and passed. We thought to ourselves happily, Our days in Homestead High may be over but they’ll never be forgotten.” 20 Dear old Homestead, mighty Homestead, Paul Adkins Paul’s a boy with a wonderful voice, He’s very easily anyone’s choice.

Schwab Senior Class President WALTER STAHL Vice-President ROBERT SABO Secretary WILLIAM BADEN Treasurer FRANK TILLER Schwab Senior History It seems as if it were just yesterday that we walked into Schwab Vocational High School, as Freshman, but it really was three years ago. The school year 1947-48 was beginning. And with it a question, What would vocational school be like?” It didn’t take us long to learn that it was very interesting work. We met the teachers and students with whom we would associate for the next three years, and found that Mr. Wintersteen, our principal, was as understanding as a principal could possibly be. He learned to know each of us personally and was very interested in our progress. We struggled through our Sophomore year learning essential things such as safety first in the shop, getting accustomed to the steady hum of machines and knowing that our knowledge of machine operating was increasing. The summer passed swiftly and our Junior year began. Football season saw such boys as Cogley, Johnson, and Matta well representing our school. How can we forget the pep assemblies at Senior High School—they were such fun. When our basketball team won the Section VI, we took up a collection, purchased a sign twenty feet long and four feet high which reads Let’s Go Steelers!” It was a sight to see at night with the lights shining on it. It hung proudly in front of our school. With all these events in mind our Junior year just slipped away. Once again we returned to school for another year. But what a pleasant surprise was in store for us. The school we now entered was new to us. The walls were all painted brightly. There were new desks and chairs in the class- rooms, new lab equipment, and above all the beautiful new auditorium and gymnasium. The football team listed such boys as Lally, Conyers, Johnson, and Santiago from Schwab in the line-up. Again our basketball team took sectional honors. Up went the sign. As the year was fast drawing to a close we began thinking of commencement and the prom. We know we will miss the school and the faculty, and the noise that is a part of vocational school, which we found to be most enjoyable. Mechanical Drawing Class—Walter Dressel 36 AUTO MECHANICS SHOP Isaiah Johnson ELECTRIC SHOP Walter Stahl and Robert Moiseenko PATTERN MAKING SHOP Robert Purifoy MACHINE SHOP Kenneth Heinz The Vocational courses prepare boys for jobs in indus- try. They are planned to give a boy fund ..mental tool and machine skills, and a working knowledge of materials, mechanical drawing, mathematics, science and Voca- tional English. Machine Shop The Machine shop course prepares boys for the Machine Trades. These boys work on lathes, planers, shapers, milling mechanics, metal cutting saws and grind- ers. Fine precision measurements are required in this trade. Electric Shop Electricians are trained in the Electrical construction course. Workers in this field must have a considerable knowledge of the theory of electricity. Pattern Making The Pattern Making Course prepares boys for in- dustry and the building trades. Fundamental hand and machine skills are developed in the construction of wood patterns, cabinets and furniture. Auto Mechanics Shop Auto Mechanics is one of the newer trades. The num- ber of workers in this field continues to increase from year to year. Since so many people are becoming more and more dependent on their automobiles for trans- portation, Auto Mechanics has a more general appli- cation. 37 Schwab Seniors Albert Anson AI” AI is a box with dark and flashy eyes.

Junior Class President RITA PIENKOSKI Vice-President DONALD BAIR Secretary GERALDINE SULLIVAN Treasurer BRIAN HUGHES Sponsor MR. YUHASZ The Class of ’51” We entered Homestead High School after attending various Junior High Schools Of course the majority of our Sophomore class came from Homestead Junior High but there were quite a few from Homeville and a few from Lebanon Junior High Schools. The first attempt we made as an organized class was the election of officers under the supervision of Mr. Yuhasz, our class sponsor. The results of the election were as follows: Irene Balia, president; Rita Pienkoski, vice president; Geraldine Sullivan, secretary; and Betty Esper, treasurer. Our only project during our Sophomore year was The Sophomore Talent Show.” It was quite a success, and of course we thought our show was better than the Junior and Senior talent programs. At the beginning of our Junior year many students from Calhoun entered our class. After a period of get- ting acquainted with these new friends, we again elected class officers and proceeded on money making projects for our prom. Our work this year was already cut out for us. Candy, Steeler hat and Steeler pin profits all went into the treasury. In November we had our class play. It was a three-act comedy, called Apron-String Revolt.” In February a new club. The National Honor Society, was started in Homestead, and the Junior Class is proud to say it had eight charter members. Our last activity of the year was the Junior Prom. Baron Elliot was chosen by popular demand to provide the music. In the future we hope to be just as successful as we have been in the past. The Class of ’52” The Sophomore Class of 1950 entered Homestead Senior High just as green and confused as any Sophomore class ever was. It took us a couple of weeks finally to get acquainted with our new school, but after that, we began to show the Juniors and Seniors just what we could do. With Mr. Harkins as our sponsor, we held one of the most successful dances that Senior High ever had. On Halloween we were all out in full force for that first social affair, which was also our first money-making project. In the line of sports, we Sophomores again held our own. The entire reserve squad was composed of mem- bers of our class and we had our own sophomore cheerleaders too. The Class of ’52 was also well represented at all of Homestead’s games and many times we out-cheered our upper-classmen at pep assemblies. After this successful year in Homestead High School, we re all looking forward to our Junior end Senior years with the firm belief that if they’re half as wonderful as the year just past, we’ll never want to forget our high school days.

According to Annabelle, kindly, capable, business-like girlhood chum of Elizabeth. Eliza- beth is the clinging vine type though she stoutly denies it. Having been a widow for some years, Elizabeth has had the responsibility of David and her home completely upon her own shoul- ders. With the aid of magazines on child care and occasional feminine persuasion, Elizabeth is trying to develop David s paternal instincts and a sense of responsibility, but at the moment, David is somewhat chaffing at the bit. Henry Fenstermacher, the football coach, who has a tremendous interest in boys, flying machines, and the personable Elizabeth, is the indirect cause of bringing David's Apron-String Revolt” to a climax. A slight tap on David’s jaw from the coach causes Elizabeth to flutter about like a hen fighting for her chick. Being ashamed of his Mother’s actions David picks up his football sweater and leaves home. Everyone is in a panic, including the police, the newspaper, and the football team. First Elizabeth learns that David has left because of her and then a rumor starts that David has killed a man. Henry is quick to the rescue, however, and David is found and discovered innocent and welcomed home by all. Some advice from Annabelle helps Henry win Elizabeth and all ends romantically right. 67 Cumberland W. Posey Field House First row. 1. to r.—William Stewart. William Gray, John Borsch.

Isaiah Johnson, rangy left half-back for the Steelers, scored all of his team’s points. His first touchdown came in the second quarter and he raised the score with two more in the fourth. Over anxiousness on the part of the Steelers resulted in fumbles and penalties. Coach Sullivan substituted freely in an effort to uncover hidden talent for the remainder of the tough season ahead. Homestead 13— Braddock 12 The Steelers captured their second straight win of the season in a close contest with Brad- dock at the newly remodeled Athletic Field. The Steelers opened their scoring attack early in the first quarter when a pass from Kuenzig to McLane was good for a touchdown. Home- stead scored again in the fourth quarter when Johnson got loose on an end sweep and went twenty-eight yards for six more points. A ceremony was held at half time dedicating the new field house in honor of the late Cum- berland W. Posey. Homestead 6—Glassport 13 The Steelers suffered their first defeat in the hands of Glassport. The game was exciting from start to finish. The Steelers held a slight edge during the first three quarters but could not manage to get going in the final stanza. The Gladiators from Glassport began to roll and it resulted in two quick touchdowns. The Steelers fought back gamely but couldn’t halt the hard charge of the black and red. It was a well played game on both sides with Glassport winning a tough and well deserved victory. Homestead 6—Baldwin 6 What should have been a victory for Home- stead ended in a deadlock with the Highlanders from Baldwin. The Steelers tied up the ball game in the final three minutes of play when Johnson, on a direct pass from center, went over for a touchdown. Two fumbles ruined scoring threats for the Steelers and neither team showed to an advantage when they took to the air. Homestead 13—Swissvale 19 On a soggy Athletic Field gridiron the Steel- ers dropped a spirited battle to Swissvale. Neither team scored in the first quarter, but Swissvale garnered a touchdown in the second period to lead at half time 6—0. Both teams scored a touchdown in each of the two remain- ing quarters. In the third Homestead scored on a pass from Lally to Johnson and once more in the fourth when Johnson again swept around left end for thirty two yards for a T. D. Me- Lane’s try for the extra point was good to make the score Swissvale 19—Homestead 13. Homestead 7—Canonsburg 26 A veteran Canonsburg squad ran roughshod over the Gold and Blue. After trailing 7—0 at half-time, the Steelers were completely out- played in the second half. Homestead’s lone tally came late in the fourth quarter when Johnson blocked a Canonsburg punt and went seven yards for a touchdown. McLane added the extra point with a well executed placement. Canonsburg scored in every quarter but the third, and the crowd was electrified when the Canonsburg left half-back ran 76 yards for a touchdown. Homestead 7—German Township 12 The Homestead squad made the long jour- ney to Masontown only to drop a close one to German Township. A1 Burwell, substitute back for the Steelers, raced fifty-five yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. McLane’s kick was good and the Steelers led 7—0. Later the Germans came back and scored to make the score 7—6 at halftime. Everyone thought the Steelers had a 7—6 victory in the bag when, with less than two minutes to play, the Germans drove over a touchdown to win the game. Homestead 0—Duquesne 32 Playing on a rain-soaked field the Homestead Steelers were defeated by the powerful Du- quesne squad. The Dukes scored in every quar- ter but the third and when the final whistle blew, the score was 32—0 in their favor. Homestead 6—Tarentum 14 The Homestead Steelers wound up their 1949 season by bowing to Tarentum 14—6. Two costly fumbles robbed the Steelers of what could have been a real upset that would have taken the Tarentum Redcats out of the Class A championship. Homestead’s only score came in the first quarter when Johnson went over for a T. D. The season record for the Steelers reads: Two wins, six losses, and one tie. Play- ing their last high school game for Homestead were: Peterson, McLane, Muha, Cloherty, Johnson, Sullivan, Lally, Kuenzig, Santiago, and Kostelnick. 71 W.P.I.A.L.

The game was practically decided in the first five minutes of play when the Steelers had a 10 to 0 lead before Donora came through with a conversion from the foul line. It was a big night for A” Lally who scored 26 points. Homestead 60—McKeesport 39 The McKeesport Tigers were handed a first class lacing at the hands of the Steelers. The Gold and Blue went out in front early in the first quarter and never relinquished their lead. High man for Homestead was Mel Gibson with 13 points, followed by Lally with 12. Homestead 50—Clairton 37 The Homestead Steelers hung up their third straight win in Section Six when they defeated Clairton. The game was a rough and tumble affair with many fouls being called. The lead changed many times during the contest, and the final outcome was not decided until the final quarter when Clairton lost two of their top scorers via personal fouls. Cooper of Clair- ton and McLane of Homestead were ejected from the game for roughing it up with but one minute of play remaining in the fourth quarter. The scoring honors were divided between Mc- Lane and Hood with eleven points each and Kuenzig with ten. Homestead 51—Munhall 49 The Homestead Steelers came through with their fourth win in Section Six play when they defeated Munhall, 51-49. It was a close ball game and what appeared to be the tying two points was dumped in by George Gombos in the final five seconds, only to be ruled out by the referee. The game ended in the Steelers favor by a two point margin. Kuenzig, who net- ted a total of 17 points, copped scoring laurels in this contest. Homestead 37—Duquesne 34 Coach Davies’s boys took first place in Sec- tion by defeating Duquesne. It was a whale of a ball game, fast and furious throughout The five starting Steelers played the entire ball- game except for the final ten seconds when McLane, after committing his fifth personal foul, was replaced by Gibson. Ed Hood was high man for the Gold and Blue with twelve points. Homestead 42—Donora 31 The local boys continued their winning streak and defeated Donora in their second half open- er of Section Six. The man-for-man defense of the Steelers was effective, as was the Dragons tight zone. McLane and Lally led the Gold and Blue with 12 and 11 points respectively. Homestead 38—McKeesport 30 The Steelers encountered stiff competition at McKeesport but came up with a victory to retain the lead in Section Six. The Gold and Blue was on the short end of the 12 to 4 score when the first quarter ended. But the Home- stead boys came around to deadlock the score at 18 to 18 at half time. The Steelers took the lead in the third quarter and never relinquished it. Scoring honors went to Ed Hood, whose 7 field goals and 3 fou's netted him a 17 point total. Homestead 63—Clairton 56 Homestead boys traveled to Clairton and brought back their eighth straight victory in league competition. During the first half the Steelers caught fire and scored almost at will, but the Bears came back with a second half rally that almost cost the Gold and Blue a vic- tory. Lally came through with 18 points to be high man for Homestead. Homestead 55—Munhall 36 It was the Steelers ninth straight win in Sec- tion Six play when they were victorious over the Munhall Indians. Sparking the Homestead attack were Lally and McLane with 16 points each, followed by Hood with 12 points. Homestead 53—Duquesne 48 The Homestead Steelers became champions of Section Six when they defeated Duquesne on the latter’s cheese-box floor. The Davies’s men moved as a championship unit from start to finish. Sullivan and Kuenzig headed the scoring column with 12 points each. 73 W. P. I. A. L. Thrills Homestead 48—Washington 41 The Steelers got off to a good start in the W.P.I.A.L. tournament when they defeated Washington High at Pitt Stadium. The Home- stead boys proved far superior in ball handling and accurate shooting from the floor. It was team work that carried the Steelers to victory. A” Lally held the scoring spotlight, cutting the cords for 20 points. The game was not as close as the score might indicate for the Steelers dominated the play during the entire four periods. Homestead 48—Ford City 46 With lots of fight and comeback ability, the Homestead High Steelers wiped out an eight point deficit to defeat Ford City. An extra period and a boy named Buddy Kuenzig pulled Homestead through. The game was a see-saw affair after the regulation time, the score was tied at 42-42. In the overtime period Kuenzig made five of the six points scored by the Gold and Blue. High man for Homestead was Mc- Lane with 13 points, followed by Lally with 11. It was a wonderful game for the Steelers to win, but a tough one for the Glassers to lose. Homestead 38—Farrell 36 Homestead won its sixth W.P.I.A.L. title by defeating a rough and tough Farrell crew. The game was a nip and tuck affair throughout, but the Steeler Ironmen” put forth all they had to earn another well-deserved victory. With about two minutes left to play, Farrell was on the long end of a 36-35 score. Then big Don McLane made a lay up to put the Steelers ahead 37-36. Ed Hood sealed the verdict with a foul conversion. McLane was leading scorer for Homestead with ten points. Bibsy Sullivan was runner up with seven. P. I. A. A. Thrills Homestead 60—Altoona 44 The Davies Dandies” walloped a highly- touted Altoona team, 60-44, after trailing 15-8 at the end of the first quarter. Once they solved the Lion’s defense there was no stopping the Steelers. A” Lally staged a one man rally to give Homestead a lead they never relinquished. Lally copped top scoring honors, tallying 23 points. Behind him as pointtnaker was Kuenzig with 15. Homestead 39—Westinghouse 34 The Steelers proved that they were the best in the West when they defeated the Westing- house Bulldogs. Homestead took the lead right away and never lost it. Ed Hood sparked the Steeler attack in the first quarter netting 9 points. The man to man defense of the Steelers had the Bulldogs baffled; but they made a valiant comeback in the final quarter. The game’s leading scorer was A” Lally with 18 points.

The Steelers entered the game as underdogs but they proved to the over- confident Sailors that underdogs can bite. The Ironmen” played the best game of their lives to outclass the Swoyersville team. The game was nip and tuck during the first period with the Steelers out in front 13-10. Then the inspired Ironmen” put on a great display of shooting ability and ball handling. When the teams went off at half time the Gold and Blue lead 32-20. Even though many observers doubted the Steelers chances of keeping up the fast pace of the first half, they came back even more deter- mined in the second half. Holding off a last minute rally the Steelers emerged victorious. The final score being 48-42. Keunzig was high man for the Homesteaders with 17 points. This victory put the finishing touches on the High School Basketball careers of the first stringers—Lally, Kuenzig, McLane, Hood, and Sullivan. W.P.I.A.L.

Trophies Won in 1949-1950 Section VI Plaque Preliminary Western Regional Trophy Class A State Champion Trophy W.P.I.A.L. Trophy Final Western Regional Trophy 76 All Honors to Them EDWARD LALLY A” The leading scorer on the team, ending the season with well over 300 points. A good rebounder and an excellent one hand push shot artist. Once he found the range of the hoop, it was hard to stop him. ”A” will be greatly missed when next year rolls around EDWARD HOOD Hoodie” Our best defensive man and set shot artist. ’’Hoodie” was always given the job of watching the opponents best scoring threat, who often towered over this scrappy Steeler. He will be hard to replace next year since graduation takes him away from us. DONALD McLANE Muggs” Our 6' 2 center who controlled the backboard wonderfully when it came to getting rebounds. Be- cause of his brilliant playing in the section and the tournament games, ’ Muggs” was named to both the Section VI and W.P.I.A.L. All-Star starting line-ups. He was a consistant scorer all year and will join the others in graduation. FRANCIS KUENZIG ’’Buddy” The hero of the important Ford City and Swoyers- ville games. A cool, collected and deliberate playmaker, Buddy came through in the dying moments of the playoff game with Ford City and by his long shots at ’’Philly” pulled Swoyersville’s defense out and en- abled the Steelers to work their plays. Graduation also claims the 5' 8 star. WILLIAM SULLIVAN Bibsy” One reason why the team never lost its spirit and was able to pull its plays. Being a playmaker and passer, ’’Bibsy” went unnoticed for a long time but eventually the fans realized that it takes a good play- maker to enable the other boys to score. Bibsv’s value to a team will be felt next year when he won't be back because of graduation. MELVIN GIBSON Gibby” The first and usually the only substitute to get in a game. ’’Gibby” always helped out when he was needed, and being only a Junior, will be back again next year. ROBERT SABO ’’Ribbits” Bob Sabo's first year on the varsity proved that he was made of championship calibre. Hailing from Calhoun, Bob was a fine team player who didn’t get much chance of showing his ability. When he was in there he proved his worth to the team. Bob is one of the six seniors whom we will miss next year. ROBERT GRAY ’’Binky” Robert Gray, being the manager, could well be called the unsung hero of the basketball squad. Al- though he never got his name in the paper, ’’Binky deserves a lot of praise. Many believe the manager's job is very easy but there are really many responsibil- ities attached to it. He did a wonderful job this past year and he will be missed by the coaches and the remaining players after graduation. THE ’’HOMEVILLIANS” Though they didn’t play very often these boys were valuable assets to the making of a championship team. The first of these three boys is Rich Manning. Rich is a shy, redheaded boy with plenty of natural ability Although he didn’t see much action this year. Rich will be a vital clog in Homestead’s chances to retain the championship next year. Don Bair is a tall, good looking lad who is very popular with all the students in school. He is a very scrappy fellow who doesn’t know when he is beaten. He, like Rich, hopes to gain a starting position on next year’s team.

Basketball Reserves The little Steelers had a very rough season in which they turned in 7 wins and 12 losses. Coach Larry Sullivan did everything he could to get his boys hot, but most of the season the losses prevailed over the wins. After losing their first two games, they came back to win two in a row. Then, what would have been their third in a row, after leading most of the game turned out to be a 39-36 loss in the last few seconds of the game. This seemed to take the fire out of the little Steelers and they went along winning and losing off and on. Then the McKeesport game seemed what might be a loss for Larry Sullivan’s boys since they were losing by ten points with but one minute to go. Then it happened; the boys let go with a bang, with one of the best exhibitions of the season to come out the victors 36-35. After losing to Clairton, Munhall, and Du- quesne in a row the Steelers were facing Monaca as their next opponent. They lost to Monaca but caught afire in the Donora game and came out on top. What would have been three in a row turned out to be a heartbreaking 22-21 loss to Brentwood. Then once again for one of the best games of the season, they were facing McKeesport. In the second half they went on a rampage to take the lead and win the game 30-25. And then Clairton fell at the hands of the little Steelers. Then for the third time, what would have been three in a row, a last min- ute rally fell short to lose 20-19 to Munhall. The crowd was tense as the final buzzar sound- ed with Miskovitch on the foul line. The at- tempt for the foul was missed. This seemed to stop the Steelers as in the last game of the sea- son they took a 58-38 lacing from Duquesne. The little boys had so much enthusiasm that the Varsity caught some and took the Section Six honors. The little Steelers record ended this way: Homestead 28 Wilkinsburg 35 Homestead 26 North Catholic 28 Homestead 20 Braddock 19 Homestead 36 Turtle Creek 21 Homestead 36 Swissvale 39 Homestead 18 Arnold 26 Homestead 30 Sharon 21 Homestead 32 Donora 38 Homestead 36 McKeesport 35 Homestead 25 Clairton 42 Homestead 28 Munhall 42 Homestead 12 Duquesne 39 Homestead 25 Monaca 32 Homestead 28 Donora 26 Homestead 21 Brentwood 22 Homestead 30 McKeesport 25 Homestead 37 Clairton 36 Homestead 19 Munhall 20 Homestead 38 Duquesne 58 78 Cheerleaders Front row, I. to r.—Frances Grove.

Volleyball 1949-1950 Homestead High School’s seven year reign as W.P.I.A.L. volleyball champs came to an end on March 28, at Braddock Junior High School. The Steelers lost to Swissvale in the final match. In the first match the Steelrs met West View and swept past them by scores of 15-9, and 15-10. Then they advanced to the semi-finals where they met Braddock. Braddock’s tall spikers” showed signs of giving the Gold and Blue trouble but the Steelers subdued this highly touted team 15-10 and 15-11. Advancing into the final match, Homestead encountered a powerful Swiss- vale team. After leading 8-4 in the first game the Steelers dropped a 15-10 tussle. A determined Homestead team went out to win the second game, but they just couldn’t overcome the spirited Swissvale team who won the second game 15-10 and the W.P.I.A.L. title. W. P. I. A. L.
