1952 H 0 M E S T E A D E R PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS of Homestead High School HOMESTEAD, PENNSYLVANIA 3 Foreword We, of the Crew of 52 I lope this book will bring to you At some distant, future day, Memories of your work and play. The hours spent at Homestead High, When the time just seemed to fly. Tests and homework came and went, We thought our heads we’d surely dent. But, we’ve survived, and now it’s done; All of the work; all of the fun. So, sometime, when you’ve naught to do, Just glance through this book at the happy crew. The sight of a picture may light up an ember, And you’ll see a face you’re sure to remember. If you recall a happy memory, one or more. Or maybe a dozen, or even a score, Then this book is sure to be, A book of pleasant mem’ries for you and for me. 4 CAPTAIN ROBERT HARKINS Dedication To Mr. Harkins, the Captain of our crew, We wish to dedicate our Annual of 1952. His skill has certainly helped us keep, Our sailing ship out on the deep. He surely made us swab the deck. And guarded us from ere a wreck. With him, we did co-operate; He steered our course, keeping it straight. Now that our long cruise is ended, We think that his guidance was simply splendid. We drop our anchor at Diploma Dock. While Mr. Harkins bids goodbye to his flock. 5 Log Entries INTRODUCTION Foreword Dedication MAPPING THE COURSE School Board Faculty Alma Mater Seniors Schwab Seniors Juniors Sophomores Schwab Juniors and Sophomores SHORE LEAVE Clubs Activities SPORTS ON BOARD Football Basketball Basketball Reserves Volleyball Cheerleaders Swimming SENIOR HISTORY SENIOR ACTIVITIES PATRONS 6 1-7 8-45 46-61 62-74 75-78 ADVERTISING 79-104 All Hands on Deck Mark Time At Ease - - Fore and Aft 7 Administration 8 dO .v — V I c V W V the Course 9 Navigation Experts Standing.

Junior Class History’ The Junior Class lias been quite active since it first entered the senior high school. During its sophomore year a “purpose fund” was organized for the pur- pose of allowing individual pupils to save a certain amount of money each week. This system offers a reserve savings account on which pupils may draw when paying for class rings, annuals, prom tickets, or regular school activities. Aside from taking an interest in all other school affairs the class held a school dance and had an excellent attendance. This, their Junior year has been a busy one.

For our Homesteader had quite a lot to do. Even when work seemed all around, She always with patience did abound. She gave unsparingly of her time, Especially when sayings just wouldn’t rhyme. For the planning, arranging, and writing too, Without her we never would have sailed through. We would have capsized long ago, If she hadn’t encouraged us when spirit was low. J list to say “Thanks,” would never do, So “Cod Bless You,” Miss Rolfe, from the staff and the crew. 48 S. S. Homesteader’s Log Book Seated I. to r.—Mi � Rolfe.

On December 7, 1951, the following students became members: David Con- way, (Schwab), Victor Joll, Albert Kollar, Bernice Lesnak, and David Puchy. In January the chapter presented a play entitled The Shock of His Life.” William Stepko was the director and the cast consisted of Janice Bandy, Edith Ann Kohut, Marlene Benden, Albert Sklencar, Steve Chervenak, and Robert Serenka. On March 12, 1952, the following students were inducted into the society: Jacquelyn Allen, Robert Bost, (Schwab), Margaret Graves, Audrey Harmon, Edward House, Elizabeth Korhnak, Beverly Kusner, James Prepelka, Reed Rey- nolds, Joseph Robinson, Charles Thomas, (Schwab), Genevie Veltri, and Lillie Worthey.

It was not a poor season though, since we beat that old nemesis Glassport. Hampering the team were the many injuries to key players, including Slekar, Chwerchak, and Harris. The won and lost record of 2 and 7 is quite deceiving, for the Steelers had quite an offense averaging 17 points a game. The season opened with Bethel at the latter’s field. Throughout the first half the Steelers played winning ball but then in the second half faltered before Bethel’s attack, to lose 20-12. Don Hrosik and Gene Slekar turned in stellar per- formances as well as scoring both touchdowns. After losing a tough one to Bethel, the Steelers, with determination, tried to even the won and lost record but fell short of their mark by bowing to Braddock, an AA Team, 21-7. Only Steeler score came in the third period on a fine cutback by A1 Burwell, which covered 30 yards. In what proved to be their best game of the year, the Steelers, after losing two straight, came through in fine form by lacing Glassport 39-6 for their highest scoring spree of the year. Don Hrosik. this year’s captain, scored two touchdowns on two runbacks of interceptions. A1 Dzuka, playing one of his best games of the year, also scored two touchdowns. Once on a 12 yard pass from Burwell, and an- other on a 50 yard pass from the same passer that was true to its mark, and Dzuka romped the final 30 yards for a score. The final score came on a Joe Schiek- Tacks McCallough pass covering 18 yards. Playing a big AA Team in Scott, the Steelers, minus the services of Slekar, Chwerchak, and Harris bowed 32-13. Fleetfooted A1 Burwell ran the opening kick- off back for 90 yards for the first score, and John Minter picked up a loose ball on the Scott 26 and ran all the way for the last score. Linemen Puskar, Wilhelm, Stanhoff, Boyle, Dzuka, and Kabo, sparkled, but couldn’t stop Scott’s devastating aerial attack. In their first Class A game, the Blue and Gold bowed to a powerful Swissvale team. It was a hard fought game and Swissvale had a well-deserved victory. The Steelers never gate up but couldn’t overcome the 14-6 score. Playing against a strong Leechburg eleven which went undefeated in the Class A ranks, the Steelers were stymied from the start. Homestead's scoring came on magnificent 82 yard pass play from Billy Sullivan to Don Hrosik. The final score was 32-13. In the next game with Baldwin the Steelers found themselves, and, with the best aerial attack of the year, downed Baldwin 32-6. Bob Sokolovic, reserve full- back, played magnificent game in replacing the injured Hrosik. The first score came on a Burwell-Dzuka pass play covering 38 yards with Jim Gordon kicking the extra point. A pass play, good for 22 yards from Miskovich to Sokolovic gar- nered another score. Miskovich, playing a fine game, later ran around right end for another score. Sokolivic scored his second touchdown on a very well engi- neered screen pass play covering 38 yards from Emil Miskovich. Timmy Hughes scored from the four late in the game after Billy Sullivan had set it up on a 35 yard pass to Ference. Every player saw action as Coach Sullivan cleared the bench. 66 Log of 1951 Bluejackets Playing away, at Cannonsburg, the Blue anti Gold played good ball, but a heavier team beat them 2G-I8. Hrosik scored twice on an interception and a Bur- well pass. Sokolovic added the last six pointer on a fumble recovery. At Tarentum, in the last game of the season, the Steelers were downed in a cold snowstorm 27-8. The Steelers last touchdown of the season came on a Mis- kovich-Dzuka pass play covering 49 yards. They also added two points on a safety. The game marked the last scholastic football for thirteen seniors, including: Line- men A1 Dzuka, Jim Ocskay, Tom Puskar, Man Kabo. I.eroy Harris, and Louis DeSantis, and backs A1 Burwell, Don Hrosik, Emil Miskovich, John McCallough, Joe Schick, George Chwerchak and also Manager Steve Chervenak. The 1951 team should be commended for its fine spirit and hustle through- out the season, and it will be remembered for its will to win, even in the eyes of defeat. Coach Sullivan, and assistants are looking forward to a great season next year with such experienced players back as Slekar, Sullivan, Boclenhemier, Hughes, Gordon, Minter, Boyle, Napolitano, Scuffle, Wilhelm, Stanhoff, Kren- icky and Kazmic.

Coach Charles R. ‘‘Chick Davies Coach I)«� ics Coach “Chick” Davies is one of basketball’s most colorful and successful coaches, and he is known wherever basketball is played. It was through his coaching that Duquesne University has become a national power in basketball. In his twenty years of college coaching he has compiled a 75% winning percentage, a record unexcelled in college basketball, and has guided Duquesne University to four national tournaments. In 1943 Coach Davies came to Homestead and led them once into the state finals. In 1946 he went back to Duquesne to lead them to the N.I.T. again. In 1948 he returned to Homestead where he has stayed ever since. In his seven years of coaching at I Iomestead he has turned out four section champions, two W.P.I.A.L., two Western Regional and two state champions. Coach Davies is truly a great champion and all his players and followers have the highest respect for him. Since he came here in 1947, all Homestead teams have showed that flawless technique and spirit that is emblematic of a Davies coached team. 68 Log of Deck Champions The 1951 52 basketball season will long be remembered as one of the most hectic in Section VI. Our Steelers. who ended the season with a record of 18 wins and S losses, went down to the wire only to come in third best. To tell of every game in detail would be impossible because of the many thrills in each but we can fell of the ones that we will remember the best. With Heroic Fedor and Tacks McCallough, co-captains, Mr. Davies and his able assistants had a good nucleus with which to build the team. The Steelers swept through their seven exhibi- tion contests undefeated, showing a very strong offense which scored 1,173 points over the season. HOMESTEAD 41 BETHEL 34 In their first league contest, the Daviesmen defeated Bethel, a new member of the Section, by a score of 41-34 in a strong defensive game. The game was knotted many times but the Steelers pulled away in the third quarter. Scoring honors went to Bernic Fedor and Jim Ocskay, who had 14 and 13 points respectively. HOMESTEAD 38 MUNHALL 58 After drubbing Clairton 57-38 for their ninth straight win. the Blue and Gold met a stumbling block in the Munhall Indians. It was a bad game for the Steelers who couldn’t hit” but such was not the case for the unconscious Indians who couldn't miss. After leading 27-7 at the half. Munhall had to fight all the harder the second half to win for the Steelers didn’t know what the word quit meant and they fought up to the final buzzer. The support given by the students, which was typical throughout the season, will long be remembered for even in the eyes of defeat they backed the team. HOMESTEAD 57 BRENTWOOD 22 Not letting the Munhall defeat get them down the boys” came back in their next game de- feating Brentwood, another new entry in the section. 57-22. l acks McCallough and Jess Xupanic sparked the Steelers with 13 and II points respectively. HOMESTEAD 62 BALDWIN 48 Baldwin, the third new addition to the section proved to be no match for the Steelers as they were downed 62-48. Zupancic, McCallough and Fedor took scoring honors with 19. 17. and 16 points respectively. HOMESTEAD 39 McKEESPORT 34 A highly aroused Steeler team topped the previously unbeaten McKeesport Tigers 39-34 to throw the section into a three-way deadlock. The Steelers started slow but in the last quarter pulled ahead to stay. Twitch Carrig. a transfer from Munhall. who previously had not filled into the Davies pattern of play too well, found himself, and was high scorer of the evening with 10 points. HOMESTEAD 49 DUQUESNE 51 In their next game at the Duquesne cheesebox,” the Steelers dropped a heartbreakcr 51-49. Fouls proved to Ik the deciding factor, for the Steelers lagged in this department making but 9 out of 20 shots. Sid Gordon, who was a stalwart on the team all year, played one of his best games and led the teams in scoring with 17 points. With two strikes against them the Steelers refused to quit and came back to defeat Bethel 59-53 and Clairton 62-43 before playing Munhall again. HOMESTEAD 68 MUNHALL 46 With revenge in their blood and determination, the Steelers laced the Munhall Indians by a score of 68-46. The Indians played the first quarter as if another upset was in the making. But after that it was no contest and the Blue and Gold went to work. Jimmy Smith, who hadn’t been too impressive in previous games appeared to have found himself and with a great display of shooting racked up 26 points and kept the fans in an uproar. Another factor in winning the game was Twitch Carrig’s 12 points and the marvelous defense put on Munhall’s Kane by Bobby Combos. Revenge was sweet and the Steelers just kept their mind on their work. In their next two outings the Steelers tripped both Brentwood and Baldwin by scores of 65-56 and 61-36. Bernic Fedor, the team’s most consistent player throughout the season, led the Blue and GohMn these two games with 20 and 22 points respectively. HOMESTEAD 47 McKEESPORT 48 In a game which will long be remembered the Steelers were squeezed out by McKeesport on their floor 48-47. The entire game was nip and tuck with only the half time score a little one sided when Homestead was winning 21-15. With 35 seconds left in the game and the Steelers ahead 47-45. McLaughlin of McKeesport let go with a desperate one handed throw from the half and made it. The Steelers took the ball out with 3 seconds remaining but it was stolen by a Tiger player and the referee called a foul on Gordon. The timekeepers agreed the game was over and the teams went into their huddles expecting an overtime period because of the tic score. Then when asked by McKeesport coach if the game was over before the foul, the McKeesport timekeeper who is the official one stated that the game wasn’t over and McKeesport shot the foul to win. The game, on the part of McKeesport coaches, fans, and players especially, was one of the poorest showings of sportsmanship ever displayed in Section VI. 'The game was protested by Coach Davies and justifiably so. Then a formal protest was filed by the school, which very seldom has happened to a Homestead game. HOMESTEAD 49 DUQUESNE 44 The Steelers, with more fight than ever and with their mind on their work, defeated Duquesne 49-44. It was a see saw battle all the way and the Daviesmen pulled ahead in the final minutes to stay. Twitch Carrig was high man for the game with 14 points. The game put the finishing touches on the high school basketball careers of Bernic Fedor. John McCallough, Clayton Carrig. Jim Ocskay, and A1 Dzuka. It was after this game that the W.P.I.A.L. Decisions Committee rejected the protest and thus ended the season.

Miller and Stevens to produce a winning season will always be remembered. And the team will always stand as champs in the eyes of the class of 52 for their spirit, and their refusal to quit when the chips were down. Next year's team should go far as Coach Davies will have as a formidable nucleus such boys as Gordon, Zupancic, Smith, and Combos, and a crop of good reserves coming up. 70 s s k7 k.7 Homesteader's Mascots Left—Gaylene McAfoose.

His daily schedule is really busy, and it’s a wonder how he can get everything done in only 24 hours, but lie does it. No doubt many wonder how he actually accomplishes these things. We are going to tell you in this article how a champion spends his week. Let’s wake up with him at 8:15 on Monday morning. After a hearty breakfast Joe is off for school at 8:35 where he keeps himself quite busy until 4:00. Upon reaching home at 4:05 he practices his piano lessons, then eats his supper. t 5:00 he leaves for the Y.M.H.A., hitchhiking. After swimming, at 9:00 he leaves for home. Arriving about 10:00, he studies until 11:00. and after a snack, goes to bed. This schedule follows throughout the school week. Saturday, he spends doing a few chores in his home, and relaxing. From five to nine he’s back at the Y.M.H.A. swim- ming. Sunday, he’s up at 9:00 to go to church until 11:00. From there he goes swimming. At 5:00 we find him home again diligently practicing his piano lesson. That evening he spends at The First Methodist Church, where he takes part in the church orchestra. I here he plays the accordion. After that the Youth Fellowship meeting until 8:00. The remainder of the night is spent studying and listening to the radio, and finally to bed at 10:30. Playing the piano and accordion are his hobbies together with stamp collecting. This is how Joe spends his week. Fry it sometime. As far as future plans ate concerned Joe wants to become an engineer. You can be certain he’ll make a good one. Besides his busy activities he had time to play a leading role in the Junior Class Play. Our Miss Brooks.” His fine scholastic standing has won him membership in the Athena Chapter of the High School National Honor Society. His numerous medals and awards for swim- ming arc fast overflowing the extra space in his home. Some of the most recent awards have been: 1. 3rd—National AAU 1500 meters freestyle, outdoors—Detroit.

After taking their first round match front Pitcairn, the Steelers lost to Monessen who was later defeated by Swissvale for the W.P.I.A.L. title. The Blue and Gold also played seven exhibition matches, winning five and losing two, giving them an overall record of six wins and three losses. One of the “highlights” of the season was the “Sweater Fund” game in which the team played the teachers before the student body. It was a hard-fought battle and the teachers finally eeked out a 17-15 decision in the third game to take the match. Playing for the teachers were: Messrs. V. J. Sullivan, L. E. Sullivan, Miller, Connelly, Vojtko, and Chuba.

Our story began one bright, sunny morning in September, in front of the High School, where numerous students were assembling. Soon a bell rang, and everyone started slowly to the door. Though we felt lost, at first, it wasn't long before the lowly neophytes became oriented. With the aid ol our sponsor, Mr. Harkins, we were organized and then started on our merry way. Our first social event was a Halloween Dance, the purpose of which was to help the students get acquainted. Money was something we didn’t have- So, we decided to make some by selling T-shirts with Homestead High written on them. As Juniors, we started right in selling candy and stationery. An important addition to our fund was the Junior Class Play, Stranger in the Night,” which was a great success. Our Junior year was terminated with the biggest social event of the year, the Junior Prom. Our Theme, “Anchors Away,” was carried out in the gym. which was decorated to resemble the deck of a ship, with sea gulls, and blue- green waves in the distance, and colorful flags against the feathery clouds above. It was wonderful that night as we danced to the enchanting music of Clyde Knight. Everything seemed just perfect. It wasn't long before the great day arrived, and we became, “The Mighty Seniors.” This sounded great and we were determined to make it even greater. Throughout our Senior year, we tried to accomplish things never tried before. First, there was a one-act comedy, “Shock of his Life,” put on by the Athena Chap- ter of the National Honor Society, which went over with a bang. Then, our Christmas dance featuring Art Pallin and his R.C.A. Victor Cara- van. Art was amazed at the striking replica of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, shiny nose and all, built by Bill Stepko. Climaxing the year was the Senior Class Play, “Mother Is a Freshman,” a delightful three-act comedy. The colorful decorations of An Evening in Paris” seemed to transport us to France the night of the Prom. The gaiety, the dancing, and laughter all blended to make it The Night” of our lives. Before long we were all plowing through our books reviewing for exams. But, they came and went. Then, we felt we could relax. Kiddies Day was a rollicking day for all, highlighted by the program put on by “Our Gang.” That was one day we really let loose and had a lot of fun. At last graduation came. It was a depressing, yet joyous night at commence- ment, as we left our fond memories behind and started on our way to establishing a place for ourselves in this wonderful world of ours, but we hope that those who remain, enjoy school as much as we did. 75 NAME Deep Sea Maneuvers NICKNAME ACTIVITIES INTERESTS FUTURE Dorothy Ackerman Dot chorus stamp collecting housewife Jacquelyn Allen Jackie Cheerleader, Hi-Steader, chorus dancing office work Richard Allen Dickie band sports undecided Henry Antosik Hanker French undecided Jean Ballog Jeanic library.
