As We embark on our journey into the uncertain future, we wish to further our endeavors toward peacega, firm peace,-a peace for a higher standard of living,-a peace of efficiency and productivity,-a peace familiar with negotiation, arbitration, and world welfare. Working for peace and the general welfare is the essence of all true education and pure religion. The democratic systems have exalted peace, as a Worthyachievement of mankind. In truth, peace is the normal relationship in a civilized world. Peace gives op- portunity for expanding human talents and happiness! Peace means progress in the arts and sciences! A perpetual monument to our Alma Mater shall be our sincere belief that in the hands of education lies the hopes of a peaceful democratic future. As we go forward, we shall sing to America as well as to our fellowmen t . Arise to the place thou art given to fill And lead the world-triumph of peace and good-will.

To her, we dedicate our Yearbook. Mrs. Worley loves to teach as a painter loves to paint, as a musician loves to play, as a singer loves to sing, as a strong man reioices to Win a race. The keynote of her success lies in the fact that she is happy in her work. Early in life she chose her profession and has continuously bent every effort toward becoming a master craftsman. She is retiring from active service, but the gift of teaching is hers! May she continue for many years to radiate her S qualities of: ,N 7 ,H wy -. 1, gf.

Failma x feel ZQSJZP ' To Miss Carrie Gilmore, who retires after an active teaching career, we bid farewell. Born near Finleyvill, Pennsylvania, she received her secondary education at Homestead High School. Later Miss Gilmore studied at the Uni- versity of Pittsurgh, earning both her B.A. and M.A. degrees there. She did special work at Columbia University and Penn State. For some years Miss Gil- more taught in schools out of the cityp her first position in the city was at Rogers School. When Herron Hill Iunior High School was opened, Miss Gil- more became a member oi that faculty. Before coming to South High School in September of 1946, Miss Gilmore taught for ten years at Arsenal Iunior High School. Miss Gilmore has always been vitally interested in progressive teach- ers organizations. The Pittsburgh Teachers Association, The State Teachers Association, The National Education Association, The Council of English Teachers, and Phoebe Brashear Club are pleased to have had her as a mem- ber. She worked untiringly upon the new English Course of Study, and was chosen to work with Miss Ethel Centre upon the English book now used in the Pittsburgh High Schools. Miss Gilmore is fond of boys and girls. At present she takes an active part in the work of the Boys' Club at the Bellefield Presbyterian Church. We, the students and faculty, sincerely wish that she may know every happiness in her new lite, and that she may travel to high adventures and new places in her retirement.

Whitiier C95 XR Dear Senior: My sincerest congratulations are extended to you for having complet- ed your secondary school program whatever its individual content and obiective. Your name, a part of the roster of the February and Iune classes of l9-46-47, now occupies a place of worthy significance in the history of your school. To an alrea- dy long list of graduates who have been prepared for life and living in an America that has provided gen- erous educational opportunities to its sons and daughters, is added your name. The responsibilities, too, which our America imposes upon each of us for the furtherance of its own destiny and which the world now seems to impose in no inconsid- erable amount, are also yours. Your year-book staff has thought- fully dedicated the annals of your individual school career to that ideal toward which the whole world awk- wardly strives -e PEACE. Your re- sponsibility is to advance such a goal to a place of much more prac- tical significance than have those who have been graduated before you. However, as you face such a responsibility let me adrnonish you to never lose sight of the tremendous sacrifice they are called upon to make and the great debt you owe them for even making it possible for you to have the chance to make the MR. STERLING world of tomorrow a better place in which to live. No individual can wholly work and live to himself any longer. lf he tries to do so his apparent wilful disregard and misunderstanding of his neighbors problems sooner or later undermines his own security, at least temporary chaos results and constant adjustments too often of an expedient nature retard all efforts toward any real peace for any one. Therefore, each of you inust of necessity strike a better balance between earning a living and learning to live, for peace niust first start in the individuals own mind and actions before it will work even reasonably well in his relationship with his closest associates and neighbors. Ever strive then to understand and develop those interdependent qualities out of which a lasting peace can and must be constructed. Ever strive to energize your actions which can and do become so destructive in time of war to the point where they may be made to be not only an equivalent constructive force for good but even one of greater power for establish- ing a really vital World-wide brotherhood of man. Even partial success over and above that obtained by those who have preceeded you will carry further the torch of faith and hope alluded to in the following noble lines of Tenny- son. Yet l doubt not through the ages one unceasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are widened by the process of the suns. May a fair share of that success be a very real part of your life. Very sincerely yours, Chester L. Sterling Cltll MR. BURNS MR. MOORE Guidance Counselor TO THE GRADUATING CLASSES OF 1947 A short time, and you will become a part of a great Alumni-you will be an Alumnus of South High School. You will be mature. What is maturity? It is the ability to see a iob through. It is the inherent desire always togive more than is asked in a given situation. Maturity repre- sents the capacity to cooperatep to work with others, to work in an organization and to work under authority. - With maturity comes the thought of service. We have been too much inclined to let our thoughts rest upon what we judge to be our rights, without giving equal weight to the recognition of our duties. There is no room in the modern world for easy indifference to the world's needs: we are all our brother's keeper. As mature, intelligent people, let us work together to make the world worthy of all the sacrifice that twice in a generation has been spent to save it. . E. G. Burns The seniors of 1947 are once again graduating at a time when the United States is at peace. Although the actual peace treaties have not yet been signed it is hoped they will be in the near future. The dictionary says, in addition to the fact that peace is freedom from international hosti1ities, qthat peace is harmony or concord between individuals, freedom from personal strife or quarrels, or amicable personal rela- tions. The fact that a nation is not at war with another nation does not. necessarily mean that peace prevails within that nation. So it behooves each one of us to de- termine that we will do our part to preserve peace within the bounds of our own nation,-peace with our friends, peace within our family, peace in labor and business re- lations. This after all is the beginning of world peace. If we can build up a strong nation not torn by strife we can show the world that we are ready to do our part to build up World peace. In Theodore Hoosevelt's words: Unless this world is made a good place for all of us to live in, it won't be a good place for any of us to live in. Iohn H. Moore Counselor llll MR. MQCDONALD MR. HUTCHISON ln our travels last summer we were privileged to visit for the first time the majestic Canadian Rockies. As we were about to enter the Kootenay National Park in British Columbia, we noticed inscribed over the gateway these words: The mountains shall bring peace to the people. Truly this was our experience as we sojourned among those eternal hills. The majesty and grandeur of the snow-capped peaks, the glaciers flowing from the ever- lasting snows, the fresh verdure of the woodlands as they crept upward to timberline, the serenity of the placid lakes cradled in the vast expanse of valleys, the mighty rush of the rivers as they danced and glistened in spark- ling cascades, leaped from vertical cliffs in mighty water- falls and moved ever onward with swift current to three mighty oceans-all this brought to us peace and quiet confidence. If the peoples of this troubled world could withdraw for short intervals from the strife and turmoil of these per- plexing days to the majesty and beauty of nature with which our land is so abundantly blessed, assuredly quiet and confidence would be inspired in our souls and peace and security would reign among the nations. Graduates, as you step from the portals of this school to enter the work-a-day world, may you frequently find periods of rest and refreshment where the strength of the hills shall be yours also. Sincerely, Charles W. MacDonald To the 1947 Graduates: It has been said that man- kind is now confronted with a common enemy, the igno- rance and confusion of man's own heart. The whole world is in a post war period of reconstruction and stabil- ization. We appear to be at the threshold of a new age, the Atomic Age, the potentialities of which arouse both fervent hopes and gravest fears. The most ardent desire in the hearts of men is permanent peace and security while suspicion, distrust, and misunderstandings prevail in all parts of the world. These in brief are some of the abnormal conditions and difficult problems that confront you as you go forth to fill your respective places in the present day world. This situation presents a challenge to be met with confidence and determination rather than dis- couragement or dispair. It will require sound judgments arrived at through clear, honest, and unselfish thinking. You now have an educational foundation upon which to build these powers of thought and judgment. Your role is not only to exercise these powers in your own right but to also aid in clearing confusion from the minds of others less fortunate than you in their opportunities and abilities to become enlightened. I congratulate you all and wish you the fullest rneasure of success and happiness. Harry C.

Saupe THE FACULTY OF 1947 THE OFFICE STAFF OF 1947 YEARBOOK SALES STAFF C153 YEARBOOK STAFF-FEBRUARY YEARBOOK STAFF, IUNE 4167 Q9ur fllreeh During our high school career, we-the graduating class of February, nineteen hundred and forty seven have been fired with the desire to uplift the standards of our fellowmen. Since education is a basic part of the democratic Way of life, we feel it is here that the peaceful art of living is to be perpetuated. Therefore, with peace foremost in our mind, we take as our creed: Physical Ability-I will keep by body well and strong. Mental Vigo:-I will study daily to keep my mind active and alert. u Wholesome Personality-I will cultivate in myself goodwill, friendliness, poise, upright learning, and carefree speech. Helpfulness-I will learn and practice the art of aiding others by doing helpful things daily. Knowledge-I will fill my mind with worthy thoughts by observing the beauti- ful world around me, by reading the best books, and by associating with the best companions. Leadership-I will make my influence count on the side of right, avoiding habits that weaken and destroy. Moral Discrimination-I will seek to know the right and live by it. Religious Observance-I will obey the Laws of My God and will be tolerant in all matters, beyond the point of tolerance. With we forty-two as a nucleus, a great chain of peace shall spread around the Globe and this chain shall be strengthened by all of you, our fellow men.

Someone, I know the spy, stole the diary-now the cat is out of the bag-the diary follows. February-1942-8B's-Some shy, frightened pu- pils enter South High School from the Bed- ford, Wichersham, and Humbolt schools. 8B life begins in Room 315 with Mr. Iones as our report teacher. Day after day we go hungry as we lend or gamble away our lunch mon- ey to the Seniors. We hunt in vain for the local elevator. How we wish we were back in grammar school where all was calm and peaceful. September-1942-8A's-We have lost some of our shyness, yet we are lostin the long dark corridors of South High. We 'manage daily to locate Mr. Iones and Room 315. February--1943-9B's--A new year has dawned and we have learned a few tricks. In fact, we have become rascalsl Poor Mr. Iones is forever buying new batons. Why? Every break is an accident. And that's the truth. September-1943-9A's-We have not improv- ed. We are not maliciously badg everything iust seems to happen to us. The science room takes a beating! Again, it was an accident, we swear! The sink overflowed and ruined the floor boards. By some strange twist of circumstances Iohn was found out on the window sill. We try to blame it on Max , our imaginary clock watcher and trouble maker, but the teacher is on her toes, and poor usl February-1944-10B's-Another new year has dawned and a new report room yawned at us. From 315 to 309 we trip. Mr. Iones is transferred to another school and he packs his big headache, our report class, upon Miss Cohen. Now, poor little Miss Cohenlll September-1944-l0A's-Our second semester in Senior High and did we poke out . Sud- denly we become interested in dancing. The boys are varsity, football, baseball, basket- ball members, and the girls are cheerleaders. Much to Miss Cohen's disgust we practice our rah, rah - team, team any time or any place. We have no sense of propriety, but we have active minds. We wrote an orig- inal Christmas play, but can find no teacher willing to sponsor our budding genius. February-1945-llB's-A new year, sopho- mores -now are wel Miss Cohen ships us bag and baggage to Mr. McCall in Room 105. Then the real fun begins. We perch ourselves on high stools and work at Me- chanical Drawing desks. High shots are wel Mr. McCall tries to tame us, but we remain rugged individualists-unable to agree upon any one line of procedure. Woe are wel September - 1945-llA's - The first day of school and we remain perched like birds in the wilderness. We express our dissatisfac- tion about our stools and are promised relief. After a few days we come off our perches and are rushed to 106, our new report room. But woe is Mr. McCall: he moves with us. February--1946l2B's--Seniors now 'are wel C265 Special privileges now have wel One of our innovations is a special table in the lunch room for our own class. Everyday, we flip for trays- --the loser carries them all. Birthday cakes with lighted candles add that extra touch to our special table-The high light of our Senior B semester is the picnic where we ate every scrap of food. Even bread with gobs of mayonaise and mustard tasted good. But then we are wolves when it come to food -Time has a bad habit of creeping up on us. Two days before the Class Day program we are in a dither-no plans, no nothing ! Nevertheless, our genius asserts itself and we construct a program involving plenty of food, which we promptly ate at rehearsals- After many headaches we l2B's held a Prom for the l2A's at Colonial Inn. Again we feed them well. All had a gala time! We hope nobody felt any ill effects after strong, black cigars. September-1946-l2A's-Big Shots at last! We have established a reputation, about the few students in our class, and about our mental qualifications. Kilroy did it, is the motto of our mischievous group - Oh! how good those daily snacks taste when eaten in the transcription class-We almost didn't have a Class Play. Our rugged individualism broke out again, but all was calm when we voted for night rehearsals. We settled down, really we put our best into it, and Iune Mad was a real success-Our pictures, name cards, invitations, caps and gowns, farewell party, commencement and the prom given by the l2B's at Webster Hall close our days at South. What memories we have- some of which we are ashamed, many of which we shall treasure for all time.

C299 Class Prophecy February 1, 1957, a special event for the graduating class of 1947. Iust ten years ago, we were Seniors in high schooll Today we are having a reunion at that exclusive night club, The Slippery Rock. Our hostess, Ruth Rock, still pretty and vivacious is talking to handsome Iohn Kundick, now a candidate for the office of Vice President of the United States. A quick glance around the room and we see our old friends, Natilie Hitz and Helen Kasiukiewicz, sitting in a corner, absorbed in conversation. Helen writes a lonely heart column in The Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph and Natilie, a mis- sionary, who has devoted her life to converting natives, flew from the darkest wiles of Africa just to be with her school friends once again. No more time to greet old friends now, for the floor show is about to begin. The Master of Ceremonies, Conrad Shreiner, presents Clara Horne, a Broadway Star. After a few measures, we recognize our school friend, Clara Grimes, whose beautiful voice thrilled us many times. The second number is Gilbert Davis, the cur- rent Swoon Crooner-the Frank Sinatra of 1957. While the gents remove the swooners, Leonard Dawson-professional photographer for The Hot Shot magazine, flashes a camera upon that dramatic actress Tessie Truelove, alias Teresa Schwirian of the Madhouse Little Thea- ter. Her recital of Is This a Dagger? produc-' es a perfect nostalgia. With a somersault, a headstand, and a loud shout, Dolores Kosanovich makes her entrance. Remember when Dolores made her debut as a cheerleader? She is now captain of the cheer- leaders for the Cadets at West Point. Lucky, lucky Dolores! She introduces the famous Perd- ziola Models, among whom are the very lovely Helen Dokmanovich, Evelyn Dembroski, Helen Topich, Iean Tyhurst and Helen Zaich. What a fashion show they give usl As a concluding number, Madame Marcella Craft, the famous ballad artist, favors us with her international number, The Fallen Arch. Now that the intellectual part of the program is over, we relax and chat with Russell Turek, Secretary to the Secretary of State, and Wal- ter Rudick, architect and designer of prefabri- cated houses. Mike Klaich, Good Will Ambas- sador to New Zealand, joins us as Hugh An- derson, professor of English at one of the Uni- versities in the Philippine Islands, puts in his two cents worth. Blond, handsome Bernard Gustaitis, sur- rounded by a crowd of awestricken feminine listeners, tells of his exploits in the jungles of Africa, hunting wild animals. Nada Radulovich, who resides in the Ozarks, and spends her leisure time teaching boogie woogie to Hillbillies, is making eyes at Ken- neth McDonnellg his interpretation of Mac- C303 ...-., -- 1 beth has won him national acclaim. Iohn Mirchich, tall and handsome in his uniform, has at last realized his life's ambition, chat- feur for the famous sports commentator, Walter Novakovich. Patsy Nash and Iohn Papuga smile happily as they proudly present their seven children. We still haven't seen LaVerne Katz, Frances Siatkowski, and Catherine Zarazowski. Per- haps they were unavoidably detained. La- Verne is a veterinarian in The Cats Company Incorporated. Catherine is the head baker at the Cook Baking Company, whose owner, Fred Cook, attended the Retail Selling Class. Evelyn Vogel, Dorothy Patterson and Fran- ces Siatkowski run a boarding house for Voca- tional Bachelors, namely: Albert Dentel, Ioe Dawida, Bernard Olup and Stanley Fiierski. Or do they run a matrimonial bureau? l'm con- fused, very confused. Woe is me! I, Anne Hankovich, may lose my job as Society editor of the Ierk's Iournal, for this inaccurate prog- nostication. As my old school chums join hands and sing God Be With You Till We Meet Again, I'll hurry to the phone and re- deem myself by giving my newspaper the Scoop about the 1957 reunion. 000 v'Q'o Q 0 0 903 C315 FEBRUARY CLASS PLAY 1947 IUNE MAD A Comedy in Three Acts Penny Wood Chuck Harris Mrs. Wood Elmer Tuttle Dr. Wood Effie Milly Lou G.

QC, ORIOLE NEWS STAFF I C455 Our Aspirations To Thomas Iefferson we owe our basic concepts of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. To our late president, Franklin D. Roosevelt we owe the expression The four freedoms. First and foremost, he placed freedom of speech and expression-everywhere in the world. Secondly, freedom of every person to worship God in his own way-everywhere in the world. Thirdly, freedom from want-everywhere in theworld. Fourthly, freedom from fear- everywhere in the world. lt is the unalienable right of every man to enioy the specified four freedoms. They are the rights of men of every creed and race,- everywhere in the world. We, the graduating class of Iune, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, are aware of the fact that it is the youth of the world who must maintain peace. Through the study of the past, we have learned the folly of merely wishing for peace. Our education at South High School has developed our moral stamina, so that we are prepared to work toward this end, not for a few years, but all our lives if necessary! With each step toward tomorrow, we will make the world. more secure from the conflicts of the ages by resolving the conflicts within ourselves. The world will be our country, and all men our brothers. As torch bearers, we will light the open road to freedom and the brotherhood of man. Peace shall reign! C 46 l EQ i A 'Q 2 15 . QT. - .'

With hearts in our mouths, we entered South High School, which then seemed tall and imposing, to become eighth graders. We were the youngest members of the school and were somewhat looked down upon by every one, hence we lacked suffi- cient confidence and developed inferiority complexes. We searched valiantly for the elevators which would quickly take is to the second and third floors, never dreaming that we were the innocent victims of practical jokers. One haughty senior condescended to tell a group of girls that We were entering the boy's washroomg meanwhile, she gave us vague directions to the girl's washroom. Our outlook began to brighten in Septem- ber of 1944. We were no longer the young- est members of the school, we had gained in confidence and reliability, so We estab- lished ourselves as Sophomores. We now were living in the world of Latin, algebra, geometry, biology, The Merchant of Ven- ice, and Iulius Caesar. C 47 Our joy was almost complete when we were promoted to the eleventh grade in l945 to commence our Iunior year. Our happi- ness was only daunted by the fact that the war had reached its crisis. Faithfully, we purchased stamps and bonds each week to help a cause in which we were otherwise too young to participate. We had a Iunior prom to look forward to, the picturesque Spanish Fiesta, the dances in the gym, and the Vis- ion of Sir Launfalf' Not lacking in school spirit, we attended all the football and bas- ketball games, our voices raised, cheering our team on to victory-or defeat. We had started out as two separate class- es, one in Miss Naughten's room and the other in Miss Wilkinson's room. Each semes- ter those who resided part time with Miss Wilkinson had their hearts in their mouths for fear of losing their adored report teacher. But finally it was decided to move that re- port class up to the third floor where seniors belonged. Miss Naughten's shy class had ascended to Mr. Black and had acquired the title, Notorious, Some of us honored the Oriole Staff Re- port room, 310, with aur presences. Thus the interests of the honorary committeemen were divided into three factions. For in this our senior year, we had become expert and ex- perienced committeemen, a delegation was always on hand in the office to speak with Mr. Sterling. Our active minds promulgat- ing various and varied innovations caused us to be branded by many as disturbers of the peace. In September 1946, with glistening eyes and not without a streak of pride, we ac- knowledged ourselves as Seniors. We could hardly believe that we had finally complet- ed the long, tedious journey to the realm of Senior B's. In the halls, one could hear us automatically begin to recite: ls this a dagger that I see before me . . Or perhaps: Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. February, 19471 A date which should go down in history. As incredible as it seemed to us, we were finally Senior A's. Knowing that we were the Aoldest and wisest members of the school, we strutted around with our heads in the air in order to look the part. But our composure weakened a little when the day arrived for pictures to be taken. What disappointment when we came face to face with ourselves on proofs, but a few encouraging words from the classmates soon changed this. In sweet anticipation, though a little impatiently, we awaited the arrival of our, name cards and class rings. Our honorary Committeemen met in the auditorium to decide the colors for class day. Their choice was blue and white, but the committeemen were over-ruled and green and white won the vote. During the month of March the delegation mobbed the office trying to secure dates for dances. If the route from 306 to 310 to 312 had been covered by a dense forest, I be- lieve, that the distinguished committeemen would have beaten a trail through it by the continuous walking back and forth in order to find the consensus of opinion. It was our last day in school. Glimpses of green and white were seen flashing through the halls. Everyone was happy and carefree on the outside, but only we seniors knew the conflict which was raging within us. All through the years, we had been living for this glorious moment, but now that our last day had really arrived we were almost frightened by it. We looked upon our teach- ers with a new light, realizing that we were leaving dear friends who had tolerated us sometimes with a sad smile, and that we could not hope to find such toleration in the cruel world is which we were about to enter. But, tossing our first sane thoughts in years aside we were determined to enjoy this day to the fullest. The grand finale, Commencement Day came Iune sixteenth. One hundred and twen- three serious Seniors dressed in solemn gray caps and gowns paraded across the stage of Carnegie Music Hall to receive diplomas. Thus we bid a fond adieu to South High School. , C487 Our Last Will and Testament We the Senior Class of Iune '47 being of sound C?l cmd disposingt?l mind and in every respect in full vigor of mind and body do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament.

Conant 3 x N ,, C55 J ,141 A Tribute To Our Coaches ln drawing down the curtain of our High School career, we pause to pay humble tribute to the persons who have guided and coached us to a cleaner way of life. In our short but pleasant stay at South, we have learned to know and re- spect these individuals not on- ly as members of the faculty but, as buddies. The first sa- lute goes to Warren H. Cue, Head Physical Mentor at South KI. for many years. He has work- ed patiently and gained recog' nition for our school on the vari- ous athletic fields. Hats off to Cue, our coach and pal! The second salute goes to our new physical education instructor, Coach Kenneth G. Crump who has proven himself one of us by taking South's baseball squad into the .final play-off games. With his usual vim, vigor, and vitality Coach Crump went from baseball, to i563 football, to swimming. We know Coach Crump will carry on! The next salute goes to Miss Wehmeier, head of the girls di- vision in sports. She has fol- lowed the new trend in physi- cal education: specializing in intramural activities. Girls vie to become members of her Leaders Club. She is an em- blem of clean sports! The final salute goes to Miss Iones, instructor in the Iunior Division. Yes, they have some budding athletes there. ln her first semester, Miss Iones took over the reins of cheerleader in- structor, a trying job, but she got off to a good start! We may not have expressed our appreciation in so many words, but our salutes are sin- cere and our appreciation keen. Will you accept our salutes as their full value?

Kodakrome film is needed to do jus- tice to the official uniforms. The cart- wheels and flips that were done, re- vealed the beautiful orange satin lin- ing of the black full skirts. A large orange S for South, was outstanding on the heavy black sweaters, set off by orange collars and socks. Saddle ox- fords trimmed by braided orange and black laces and the orange satin tights completed a gorgeous uniform so that the sextette could do their stuff. Half of the sextette will be graduated in February 1947. Of these, CaptaineRuth Rocky Rock was an easy going but determined leader. Her pep never vanished from the breath-taking kickoff to the last mile home. We'll go far to find another captain with such whole hearted 'interest in vivacious active cheers. Evelyn Ev Dembroski better known as the Indian, with her pig-tails, has become a South High tradition. Her never tiring efforts will be hard to duplicate. The graceful Dolores Boot- sie Kosanovich, normally a quiet person, Whoops it up when it comes to cheering. She lets everyone know she is from South. So let's give a cheer for Bootsie . ln Iune, the sextette looses the second semesters captain, Catherine Cassie Mogan. Her cartwheel Will be among the missing. She is small, but all good things come in small packages. Two of the original six remain. We know the lower classmates will carry on. May the cheerleaders sextette continue forever! C575 GRIDIRON RECORD This season record does not give full cred- it to the undying efforts of the young mate- rial with which Kenneth G. Crump had to work in his first season as football mentor at South. Although comparatively young, th'e entire football squad showed aggressive ability on the gridiron as well as on the practice field. ln the curtain on another foot- ball year at South we admit we are the los- ers as to scores, but we do not accept defeat. Our chins are up: we look forward to victory! South dropped its League opener to Schen- ley when they tangled with the visiting elev- en at Phillips' Park on October 4. The Crumprnen tried vainly to check the oncom- ing attack of the Schenlians, but to no avail. As this was the first league contest, the South High gridrnen were on edge during the trying contest. The game ended 46 to 6. The next league tussle saw South travel- 58 ing to Allderdice where they came out on the short end of a 20-14 score. Souih's nem- esis in the contest was the forward pass. Allderdice continued to throw aerials right through the forward wall of Souths' defense. ln offensive spirit, South High retaliated with two touchdown passes, enough to throw the fright into the visitors. Without further best- ing themselves, the final whistle blew end- ing the contest with South trailing by a lone- ly 7 points. You see we had improved. South showed their poorest form of the season when they played host to Peabody. Peabody opened up in the first period by accounting for lU points more than the Ori- ole eleven. South made threatening attacks in all periods, but the Peabody squad was quite capable of preventing any score. Pea- body scored in every period and concluded the contest by a score of 38 to U. Souths' only shutout of the season. l Weakened physically by the Peabody game, South in low spirits traveled to South Hills. There they went down under the at- tack. Although South went down in defeat the South Hills boys faltered not because of the fine spirit of the Visiting Orioles. Count- less passing by Wild, standout quarterback of the hosts for the day, was the best per- formance of the afternoon. Souths' best showing was yet to come. Souths' finest showing of the season came in the closing league contest when they matched brain with brawn against Westing- house, l945 Champs, at Phillips Park in Car- rick. The final score did not give details or full credit to the splendid showing of the Black and Orange hosts. The defensive and offensive attacks of the Orioles-were incom- parable with pre-season attempts. Both Westinghouse ancl South showed splendid running plays. At the final quarter the Ori- oles bid adieu to football for 1946. BASEBALL HOPES! With seven veterans: Dokmanovich, No- gowski, Iaczesko, Kostelnik, Kostek, Will- iams and Brenchak as a nucleus, the base- ball squad of 1947 is sitting pretty. Guid- ed by Coach Crump and captained by Nick Kostek the team has entered a new classifi- cation this year-playing such teams as: South Hills, Oliver, Langley, Allegheny, and our neighbor, Carrick. Last year the Orioles dropped two games straight to the boys of South Hills in the City Championship Com- petition. With an exhibition victory as a starter the boys are on their way to become city champs-we hope! We hope! i595 ON THE BALL 4607 BASKETBALL RESUME With the departure of football season, the Orioles broke in the hardwood by trouncing a towering Perry team at Perry 29-20. With one pre-season win, the Orioles were out to seek their first victory in the City League, but the Dragons of Allderdice thought different, and South wound up on the short end 35-20. Standing with a loss in the City League, the Cuemen travelled to Connelly to find a Weak Trojan team and a win besides 41-23. Playing on their own court, the Orioles won to the tune of 28-24. Fifth Avenue on the short end. The Oaklanders of Schenley were the oncoming victims of the Cuemen, but Schenley emerged victorious 49-32. C619 Cold winds were blowing and they must have blown the Grioles completely apart, as Westing- house handed them their 3rd loss for city compe- tition 43-19. The top ranking Highlanders of Peabody came to the Market House floor cock sure of an easy game, only to find a lucky win, as the buzzer rang end- ing the game 28-24. South on the short end. Washington Voc. found it tough going on the Mar- ket House hoops, as a defeat came staring them in the face, by the score of 33-20. This ended first half competition with the Orioles standing in fourth place, with 3 wins and 4 losses. The season half opened with the schedule at the first half running in the sarne order. Allderdice here we come, was the tune of South, but the Dragons had another tune as they sang victory with a 46-32 win. The Trojans of Connelley came to the Cuemen's home floor, only to go to defeat as the Orioles rung up their fourth win 30-28. 4629 Fifth Avenue was handed their 9th consecutive loss in city competition, by the Orioles with a score of 34-27. A striving, never say die, Schenley team found a small but determined Cue team. Both teams battled to a last minute battle South coming out on top 35-32. With three consecutive wins the Orioles lost a hard last minute surge game to Westinghouse on the Market House floor by the score of 34-30. Travelling to Peabody, the team of South High found a large Boom! as the Highlanders exploded 50 to 29. Washington Voc. determined to end the season of City Basketball with a Win and the Orioles, helped the cause by continuing to miss their foul shots. Thus the Washington Voc. boys found victory, with the score of 35-30. ' February 28th found St. Casimir's, the State Champions of '46 in the Cath- olic League, contending with the fourth place Orioles in a benefit game. A crowd of 1200 was on hand, but the Orioles failed to produce a Win as they Went to a one point defeat 32-31. lt was a noble defeat. As to the city league the Orioles were credited with 6 Wins and 8 losses plus a pre-season win and an after season loss. Thus the total stands at .7 wins and 9 losses. Congratulations to the Coach and team. Better luck next time. C635 Girls' Inter-mural Sports There was no interscholastic competition in girls' sports among the high schools of the city, but an inter-class program was Con- ducted. Each homeroom had the privilege of forming class teams which could play on Mondays and Thursdays after school or dur- ing fifth periods. The first semester found the l2A's of 106, captained by LaVerne Katz as champions in all girls' athletics. Each team had the chance to play until they lost three games in any one sport, then they were au- 6 tomatically eliminated. The members of the winning team each received 10 points in these games while the losers got only 5 points. The girls whose total number of points was 150 or more received the school letter. LaVerne Katz, Pat Nash, Clara Grimes, Marcella Craft, Theresa Schwirian, Catherine Zarazowski, Frances Siatkowski and Helen Zajch became the proud owners of the letter. LaVerne was also the captain of the win- 4 l ning team in aquatic contests. It was a strong, fast one, which showed splendid form in diving, breast, free, and back stroke. In- cidentally, LaVerne Won the Highest Point Award. During the second semester there was greater competition however, between the l2A's and llB's.

Ernestine Grimes, the captain of the winniners should be congratulated for her fine management. There were a number of girls who received enough points for the school letter, but only the l2A's were thus honored. The rest can-looks forward to re ceiving their hard earnedletters when they graduates.

Aquatic Sports The spring of 1947 brought another Oriole swimming team. With coach Crump at the wheel and several hold-overs from the pre- vious season, South entered into city compe- tition. Our boys took oii to a good start as they topped the Peabody Highlanders. The win- ning streak did not last howeverg for the Orioles were only able to collect one more victory--thus ending their season with two wins and three losses. The Orioles were represented in the City finals by Reich, Kelly, Bodnar, and Voytilla. Reich placed third in the finals and was eli- gible for the State Meet. Honors were given to Voytilla, Reich, and Dick Bole, high point men. Individual hon- ors got to Voytilla for his diving, and to Dick Bole and Ioseph Apostle, Iunior High Stu- dents, who made the Senior Swimming Team. l Scores: South 41 Peabody 36 South 23 Schenley 5l South 22 Allderdice 51 South 36 Westinghouse 35 South 25 Connelly 40 The Iunior Swimming Team consisting of nals.
