Working for the general Welfare is the essence of all true education, and as a preparation in the art of living we hope each graduate has developed at our Alma Mater a Wholesome personality, a desire for knowledge, moral discrimination, sincerity, a sympathetic love of his fellowmen, an appreciation of our great country, America, and good sportsmanship. In other words, a type of education that builds a life that counts- the kind of life that aims to rise, that hates the wrong and loves the right, that stands for the truth, that can make melody in the darkest night. Many of our predecessors have set a pattern which we may well follow. South High and South Vocational High School graduates have disclosed many talents and much ambi- tion,-a group of people in whom we are all well pleased,-a group of people ex- emplyfying true education. Only in the light of universal education lies the hopes of a democratic future. 6 Onr Fiftieth Anniqversory This issue of the ORIOLE is dedicated to those who have been students of South High during the fifty years sinoe the founding of our School. Established in 1898, it has a link to the nineteenth century, but predominately it is of the twentieth,-of the modern era. Essentially its outlook is forward, not backward. Its sons and its daughters are of the life blood of the community today. Its sturdy growth has come out of the strength of America, out of the basic values which have attracted liberty-loving peo- ples from all over the world. Within its walls, in daily undramatic, steady fashion have been lived the ideals of our land of human dignity as ex- pressed in the Declaration of Independence: All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among theseibeing life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness. It is in the application of these lofty aspirations xml ffl- ff of mankind for centuries that America has grown great. It has been during these fateful fifty years, from the Spanish-American War in 1898, to the present time that America has developed in world leadership until it is today the bulwark of free men everywhere. South High, situated in the very heart of the workshop of the worldf' has accepted in ever- increasing numbers the youth of this important industrial area. It has sent it forth again, en- dowed with a knowledge of the arts and the sci- ences, aware that such knowledge is to be de- voted to human welfare. It is in its fuller sense, therefore, that this issue of our school magazine is dedicated to the men and the women in all walks of life who have made of the South Side an important part of our City and County, of our State, of our Nation and, indeed, of the world. -fudge Gustav L.

Davidson. The committee wish- ed to determine when the people of the South Side would have a modern high school building to replace a row of wooden portables then in use. As a member of that committee, I remember well our approach to the superintendent, our serious intentions, and the gracious manner in which we were received. We were representing a student body and a graduating class that were 7 as varied in terms of nationality background and religious faith as one finds anywhere, but school for us was an experience in democratic living. We had learned to respect one another, to share in one another's problems, and we were aware of the rich contributions to the community that were made by all groups. It seemed then that the people of the South Side had a single pur- pose in mind-that of acquiring a new high school building. Those of you who never will forget the South High School of the past will recall the assembly in program at the Bingham Street Church, the swimming classes in the Oliver pool, and the gym activities at the little red building on Ninth and Sarah Streets. In this small gymnasium, champion basketball teams were developed on a floor not much larger than the living room of a modern home. These limited facilities were made known to the superintendent, and we were assured that the matter would be given every consideration. It is interesting to note the fol- lowing improvements that were provided through the years for South High School: 1. In 1922, an annex to the original high school building was built at a cost of S650,000. 2. In 1935, additional wings were added to the building at a cost of 872,000 S. In 1938, a modern boys, vocational high school was built at Tenth and Carson Streets opposite the original school building at a cost of S465,000, not including equipment. 4. In 1938, land south of the school building was purchased for recreational purposes. The cost of this land with improvements amounted to 846,508 Today, the people of the South Side still look upon their high school as a symbol of the Amer- ican way of life. Here children of all the people live together and prepare together for the lives of service which lie ahead. If through the years the graduates of South High School have con- tributed to the welfare and progress of our city and nation, the future may expect even greater contributions. It follows, naturally, that we should raise a question about the present school facilities and the plans for future improvements. The present South High and South Vocational High Schools provide facilities that in general compare favorably with those of other sections of the city. But South never has had an adequate athletic field, and like other parts of the city it does not have a modern vocational high school for girls. The Board of Public Education has plans that should be of unusual interest to the people of the South Side and in particular to the alumni and present students of the school. First, a ma- jor athletic field is to be built on the land bound- ed by Ninth Street, Carson Street, Seventh Street and Selby VVay. This field will have a seating capacity of between 6,000 and 8,000, and will in- clude a field house and tennis courts. It will be the largest, most adequately equipped field in the city. Dr. Earl A. Dimmick, Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. M. M. Steen, Chief of the Division of Plant Operation and Maintenance, have indicated that visible signs of progress on this field should be in evidence one year from now. Another project of major importance which is included in the Boardis long-term planning pro- vides for a modern girls, vocational high school to be located on the site now occupied by the old high school building at Tenth and Carson Streets. This, of course, is something for the fu- ture, but it is encouraging to know that the South Side, which now has excellent trade train- ing facilities for boys, may one day be proud of the opportunities it will have to offer to its girls as well. May the present students of South High School, and those who will follow them, exercise the wisdom and the determination to take the fullest advantage of the educational opportuni- ties provided for them. Only America offers such opportunities to its youth. -O. I.

Those who wished to learn were taught, Those who remained profited by their stay, Those who refused to acknowledge defeat, Are the successes of today. Some went forward into the world, Gained great fame, earned much respect, But they are so great in number, That space and words must we limit, To just a few examples of each, To enlighten the minds of the reader. Judge Schramm, Rudy Brenlove balanced the scal Balanced them so well that fame is now theirs, To hold and cherish forever and afterwards.

Perhaps no other section has developed so rapidly in a hundred years as has this district, once surrounded by beautiful green rolling- plains and huge estates, but now a busy in- tersection formerly called Birmingham,' and now the South Sidef' The former South Pittsburgh, Birmingham,,, East Birmingham, and Ormsby,, complete the present South Side. Can you imagine the South Side without its own Alma Materv-South High? It seems hard to believe, yet, a little over fifty years ago this reputable school was just emerging out of the sand and rubble to educate the majority of the children of South Side and the surrounding communities of Allentown, Brookline, Dormont, and Beechview. The cornerstone for South High School was laid in 1897 at the Corner of Tenth and Carson Streets, but the building was not com- pleted and pupils were not admitted until September of 1898. The first principal of South High was Dr. R. H. Holbrook, son of the founder of the first normal school in the United States. The first student body consisted of 242 pupils with a faculty of eight teachers. The normal, academic, and commercial courses were offered, but due to the limited space at South High the students taking the nor- mal course spent two years at Fifth Avenue, students taking the academic course spent three years at South and the fourth year at Central High, students taking the commercial course spent one year at South and three years at Fifth Avenue. In 1911, South High was recognized as a separate cosmopolitan high school, of- fering complete courses in all curricular studies. South held its first separate commencement in 1913, graduating 32 pupils. Prior to this time the pupils com- pleted high school requirements at Central High School or Fifth Avenue High School and graduated from these schools. At the death of Dr. Holbrook in 1910, Mr. I. M. McLaughlin, a teacher of science and mathematics at South since September, 1905, succeeded him as prin- cipal. In the early twenties, to meet the demand of the increasing enrollment, ten portable structures were built. These proved so unsatisfactory that in May 6, 1924, it was necessary to replace the portables by adding a new building connected to the old by two passageways. So in September, 1924, 38 rooms plus offices, a library, a swimming pool, gyms, and a cafeteria were opened. Before this addi- tion the students, although pressed for room, attended their studies dutifully. They had to go to the Oliver Pool for swimming instructions, while for their physical education they were obliged to go to the gym at Thirteenth Street. They were so proud of their orchestra that they practiced weekly at the Thirteenth Street gym. Despite many handicaps they did their best to elevate the high standards of South. In 1935 the building was again enlarged by the addition of seven class rooms. 10 The first edition of the school paper was published October 1, 1914. K. Salome Stamm was the first editor. It was called the Oriole,' because the orange and black of the Baltimore Oriole had been chosen as the school colors. Up to this time, South High had no specific school paper. With the installation of the print shop in 1924, came a new publication, a newspaper, called the Oriole Newsf' It has been under the supervision of Miss Edith Davidson, Mr. Charles Young, and in 1943, Miss Elizabeth Frost became supervisor. The Yearbook, was first published by the Senior Class of June, 1915, and was dedicated to Elizabeth Dallas Wilbams, a retired faculty member. In August, 1942, Mr. J. M. McLaughlin, South Highis second principal reach- ed the age of retirement and relinquished his active duties. Mr. H. H. Johnson, a member of the faculty since November, 1912 had become the school's first vice- principal in September, 1924 and he, too, had retired in june 1940. Mr. C. L. Sterling, who had been placed in charge of the newly built South Vocational High School in February, 1940 became the vice-principal of the entire plant in September, 1940 and succeeded to the principalship of South Iunior-Senior and Vocational High School in September, 1942. Mr. E. C. Burns, who had been prin- cipal of the evening school for 13 years, was appointed to the vice-principalship of the entire school at the same time. South Vocational High School-the most modern school of its kind in the city of Pittsburgh, was opened in February, 1940. Here the boys learn both trade skills and related work. Half the time is spent in shop where skills and operating techniques are acquired. The other half of the time is spent in learning related and academic work which includes such subjects as, English, Related Math, Re- lated Science, Related Drawing, Related Theory, and Physical Education. There are eight shops with a maximum capacity of 450 boys. South Vocational High School boys are the only boys in the city that can boast of knowing how to bake, for South Vocational has the only known bakery. This school, according to Fed- eral government regulators, was not built for the purposes of giving instructions to the backward, or otherwise subnormal individuals, but was instituted for the clearly avowed purpose of giving thorough Vocational instructions to boys, so that they might find suitable and profitable employment. It can boast, too, of having the only aircraft-engines department in the city. Many boys have achiev- ed their life ambitions upon graduating from this worth-while institution, for they have had their hands as well as their minds trained. Somewhere beneath the stars there is work that you alone were meant to dog never rest until you have done itf, This quotation by Dr. Brashear, an out- standing figure in the growth of the South Side, must have been taken to heart by the citizens of this community and the faculty of South and South Vocational High Schools. They have proven that through cooperation and guidance a small settlement can become a vital part of a great and prosperous steel center. 11 MH. C. L. STERLING MH. bl. M. ML-LAUCHLIN DR. R. H. HOLBHOOK MR. H. H. JOHNSON MR. E. G. BURNS 12 Men Behind the Scenes You have heard it said, Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you what kind of a person you are. So I say now, Note the leaders South High has had in its fifty years of existence and you will understand why it has become a corner- stone in this community. In its infancy it was nurtured by the late Dr. R. H. Hol- brookg in its youth, fathered by Mr. I. M. McLaughlin and the late Mr. H. H. Johnson, in its prime, it is being fostered by Mr. Chester L. Sterling and Mr. George Burns. To become the third oldest school in Pittsburgh and to develop from a part time community convenience to a cosmopolitan high school offering many and varied courses, mental and physical labors have been expended by these five men behind the scenes. Guiding youth is primarily a labor of loveg hence, these educators must have had as their motto: Consider that I labored not for myself only, But for all them that seek learning? These five peers who did and do their daily tasks with no other motive than to prepare youth in the art of living deserve commendations! Few realize the patience, understanding, psychological knowledge, and love of humanity neces- sary to steer an institution of learning. These educational leaders set the tempo for the teachers as Well as the student bodyg an inspired faculty and an efficient office force, react upon each and every student. Our leaders have felt that to im- prove their understanding they must increase their own knowledge and be able to deliver that knowledge to others. South High School has been fortunate in having leaders who derive keen satisfaction from seeing awkward, hesitating youth develop into outstanding American citizens. These men can be justly proud of the sons and daughters of South High, and the sons and daughters of this school owe much to the men behind the scenesf, 13 Then It was a quiet little community, that South Side of 1898. There were no radios-movies were jerky and indistinct. Children scamper- ed to stare at the rare automobile that jolted down the street on its solid rubber tires. The thought of traveling in the air like a bird was snickered at as a fantasy. Blacksmiths flour- ished in corners. Diabetics prepared to meet their Maker, for insulin was unknown. Wom- en doctors were ridiculed. The population was under 76,000,000, the national income was SS15,000,000i, the national debt was only S1,200,000,000. We had no Parcel Post, no Pr. F. D. to delight the farmer, no electric refrig- erators or irons-no tractors-no oil burners. In New York chorines shocked America by shortening the hems of their skirts to a scant thirteen inches above the ground. In 1898 ap- proximately 700,000 students of the United States attended high schools. The student Now 1948 and television is a reality. Technicolor talking movies are in vogue. A form of recre- ation is a trip to the Airport to see heavier- than-air crafts glide in and out. Youngsters seriously contemplate traffic policemen in the air. Corners in 1948 are occupied by gas- oline stations. The value of vitamins is no longer debated. Women vote, get a perma- nent wave, and eat ice cream sundaes. The population is 145,000,000, the national income is S192,000,000g the national debt is S250,000,- 000,000. Two World Wars are over. The in- come tax is an accepted burden, we suffered through rationing with sugar coupons, shoe coupons, and red and blue tokens. 15,000,000 Americans served in the Armed Forces of World War II. Veterans are clamoring for education and homes. On the lighter side, fashion decreed the new look bringing debate as to the hemlines of dresses,-13 inches in conservative,-9 inches is ultra-fashion. In 1948 approximately 6,500,000 students attend high schools in the United States.

Should auld acquaintance he forgot, And days of auld lang synef' The above lines from the pen of that great Scottish poet, Robert Burns, suggests a three- part question. That question simply stated asks: Do we maintain a proper attitude to- ward the thinking and happenings of the past, do we try to profit from the experiences of that past, and are we ever mindful that the results of our actions today are certain to become the heritage of generations yet unborn? The chronicles of the past, in whatever form we find them, are not unlike the min- utes of the previous meetingsn which your generation has been charged with having too little regard for. These minutes are all that remain of that which was considered to be worth recording. In them we read of tasks accomplished and of tasks left undone, of happiness, of sorrow, of success, of failure, of regrets over previous mistakes, and of hopes for the future. The nature of the details with which we concern ourselves and which will contribute much to the minutes of tomorrow is not unlike those which concerned the past. In passing, it might be well to note that criti- cisms of the results of that past are quite like- CHESTER L. STERLING ly to be equally just criticisms of ourselves right now. As members of this anniversary yearls graduating classes you occupy a singular position that will ever mark the termination of one half century of fruitfulness and the beginning of another whose outcomes right now are wholly in the realm of speculation. With all of the vigor and exu- berance of youth you assist in rightfully honoriing and showing your respect for and gratitude to those who have in any way contributed to the good name of the school from which you are and will be the mggt recent gl-mluates, For all of these attitudes and accomplishments sincerest congratulations are extended. May the memory of your relationship to the golden anniversary of your school ever be a high light in your future. May these memories serve to guide and direct your thinking in such a way that your school,s second fifty years will be even more fruitful because a knowledge and understanding of the past is given a place in your present that not only helps to solve its prob- lems but which contributes much toward sensible planning for a challenging future. With very best wishes for your individual happiness and a successful sharing in and of life's responsibilities, I remain, Very sincerely yours, CHESTER L. STERLING, Principal 16 To the Graduates:- If one looks back over a period of years, 10 years, 20 years or even possibly 50 years, it seems but a short time. However, as we look forward even a short span seems far away. South High School is fifty years old this year. The graduates can look back, one year, ten years, thirty years or possibly even fifty years to that year and day that meant graduation for them. It is and was a great day both now and years ago. Even if that graduation day was many years ago, it doesnlt seem so long as we look back in memory. South High School has a right to be proud of its graduates which include such prominent men as judge Gustave L. Schramm, Mr. Oscar 1. Schwarm and Reverend james K. Ord. The graduates of 1948, have and will become part of this great Alumni and they, too, will be looking back with just pride and a feeling of accomplishment. -E. G. Burns Vice Principal E. G. BURNS ETHEL A. LLOYD For several years welve traveled together. We've enjoyed those years. We lost a few colleagues by the wayside. Some languidly stood on the shore and let the Ship of School sail away. Some moved to other states and are graduating in flowery climes. Some are serving in the Army and Navy of these United States. Some were deterred by illness. Here today are you, Class of 1948. The sum total of all your experiences, that is you. We that have known you, are a part of you. You have been successful, therefore the opportunities afforded you now place upon you added responsibilities. The world expects of you performance in proportion to what, through the Grace of God, it has given you. Your production in this world of tomorrow should exceed your consumption. Youlve had the privilege and advantage of graduating in 1948, which we shall always remember as the fiftieth anniversary year. A half a century of South High School. You are now added to the thousands that proudly bear the title of South High Alumni. South High School is now an old story in Pittsburgh. You, the Class of 1948, with your youth give to this old story new lines. South, we hope has taught you to do better the desirable things that you are going to do any way and has shown you the path to higher types of activities. The situation is in your hands. Now you may crash to earth or soar to heights with what this school has put into your keeping. When these corridors no longer resound with your merry laughter may you think often of South and South Vocational High School, remembering a classic epigram that you were wont to hear at this school. Think that day lost whose low descending sun Views from thy hand no worthy action donef' Sincerely yours, -Ethel A. Lloyd 17 To t re Graduates of South and South Vocational High School Fifty years ago South High School opened its doors so 1 that the boys and girls of this community could receive a high school education. Since that time the school has grad uated thousands of pupils, many of whom are today promi nent citizens. You, as Seniors of the Class of 1948, will be following in the footsteps of those who have gone before you. You will, therefore, be challenged to the utmost of your ability, for there are many leaders in their chosen fields of endeavor among the alumni. It is as true today as it was fifty years ago that America is still the land of opportunity. just for today the alumm are looking back upon their high school days, but the high school seniors like all normal young people are looking ahead to the future. To achieve the success of those who have gone before you, you must remember that the need 9 of a good job for every man is no greater than the need of JOHN H. MOORE a good man for every job. Likewise, as We look into the future we might do well to remember the words of Jean Paul Richter: Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of every thing appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious and the crooked paths look straighter as we pass along. To the June 1948 Graduates: It is a pleasure to congratulate you on this occasion. Your graduation marks the fiftieth anniversary of the open- ing of South High School. During this period the facilities and services of your school have mulitplied many fold. A new high school building was erected in 1924 and the vo- cational school was added in 1940. Within this period the qualifications and training of teachers have been extended to provide more competent instruction and guidance. The opportunities for learning and growth have been broaden- ed and expanded. These fifty years have given you much that was not available to those who entered South High School in 1898. The completion of your high school program now plac- es upon you additional responsibilities. More will be ex- pected of you for the additional talents you have gained. Talents of a high order are needed in our present day world -talents of the heart and of the soul as well as of the mind and hand. From here on may your program provide for the continued development of and addition to the talents you have already acquired to the end that your deepest satisfaction through life will be derived from worthy and enduring accomplishments. May the fullest measure of success and happiness ever be yours. -Harry C. Hutchison 18 -Iohn H. Moore Guidance Counselor HARRY C. HUTCHISON we-f R39 - . i.jST'-wry?

Mid an 1850 English setting and victorian costumes the February Graduating Class of 1948 presented Jane Eyref' a romantic tale. jane Eyre, an orphan girl, who comes to Thorn- field Hall as governess to Adele Varons, Mr. Rochesterls adopted daughter, falls in love with her school-master employer. Mr. Rochester soon reciprocates Janels love, but Lady Ingram has other ideas. She is trying to promote a love match between her daughter, Lady Mary, and Mr. Rochester,-thus we have the complications of the eternal triangle. The appearance of Zita, a gypsy, adds a mystic air and excitement. However, the greatest thorn in Jane Eyer's perfect love is that strange creature secreted in the left wing of Thornfield Hall,-she proves to be the insane wife of the schoolmaster. After much tragedy and heartache Jane and Mr. Rochester marry and live happy ever afterf, 30 ,lit 'J I'4 ..

Three delegates were sent to the convention from South High School: Frances Slocik, Do- lores Nagy, and Richard Bole. Miss Lloyd, Mr. Sterling, and Mrs. Sterling accompanied the delegates. The purpose of this conven- tion was to get the schools together to talk over various problems which arise in the student bodies with the hope of being able to solve them. Some of the subjects that were discuss- ed were smoking in or around the school, de- tention rooms, student courtS, assemblies, be- Stndent Council Convention at Bradford, Pu. havior i11 the lunchrooms, sanitation, and ab- senteeism. Countless solutions were offered by the delegates to curb these difficulties. Many of these solutions are now employed in our school. Our delegates had the experience of a life time when they saw an oil well guShl A pleasant surprise enroute home was a detour to Cook's Forest Where 'Kthe murmuring pines and the heinlocksv added a fitting touch. All returned to Pittsburgh a little wiser, owning a flask of Bradford oil, and each glowed with a spirit of good fellowship. The convention was a success and a delightful experience.

Dick Bole presided over The Constitu- tion Committeef, Miss Lloyd, Miss DeMatty, Mrs. Worley, and Mr. and Mrs. Sterling acted as sponsors. All had a wonderful time and left the convention-wiser and full of ideas to try in our School. February Class Prophecy Friends, former classmates come to my res- cue!!! What does this mean? Am I a victim of hallucinations or is this a comic valentine? I solicit your interpretations! Dear C lassmate, After roaming in the big, wild world for months, I feel the need of personal contact with my classmates of South High School. The urge to visit Room 305 is great, but I sud- denly realize our places have been taken by others. A light of intelligence dawns upon me and I make my weary way to Nineteenth and Carson Streets where I enter Mother Herbelfs exclusive Boarding House, formerly known as Maxie's. Eager to see my friends I knock re- peatedly, but the door crumbles beneath my knock. The first soft tone to reach my ear, is the voice of Dorothy Rosmanowski as she settles her rent affairs with Mother Herbel. But wait, what is this I see? Why it can't be? Yes, my eyes are not deceiving me! It is john Brenchak and Ann Urdianyk scrubbing floors, with Hena Klawansky keeping gentle watch over them with a two by four. A hand slaps Hena on the back and says, Keep up the good work, Hena, good marks in school are not always the measuring stick used by the worldf' Entering the lobby, I see Bob Noland re- clining in an easy-chair. The big shotv of our class is now a man of leisure, he receives a monthly check from the W.P.A. He joined back in B.C. and has remained a member. In the far corner Father John Dukryn is trying to save the souls of Donald Kraniak, Bill Kess- ler, and David Novakovich. What a job! On the landing of the Stairs, three very fashiona- ble ladies, Millie Obradovich, Jean Craft, and Dolores Lanick are talking about their favo- rite subject, men. just as I am meditating about how peace- ful these notorious scrappers have become- Crash! Bang! Peeking from under the table I see the happily married couple, Kathleen Win- ter and Ralph Martin, showing off their great juggling act. The savory odor of corn beef and cabbage draws me to the kitchen where SOMEWHERE NEAR the GREAT DIVIDE I see the chef, Rudy Musulin, and his assis- tant, Elizabeth Rumph, making Sunday, Mon- day and Tuesday specials. Under the excel- lent supervision of Lou Fischer, head dish- washer, Francis Resch and Charles Stade 11: aim to dry the dishes. The back door is open- ed by the butler, Walter Mahouski, who ush- ers in three neatly dressed rubbish collectors, Danny James, Frank Douglas, and Ray Street. They are ready and willing to take the yearly scraps. Passing into the next room I hear Flo Miller directing the S.S.S.C. choir, composed of Au- drey Herbel, Millie Foster and Audrey Wie- mert. Lorraine Bertha accompanies on the harmonica. As my eyes wander over the room, I see little Mary Torbich writhing in agony, but I learn that she is only practicing for her debut as a ballet dancer. Charles Schnupp and George Dokmanovich, radio comedians now enter Mawis Place. Somehow I always felt Schnupp would become another Watson, with his red hat and all! In a chorus they in- form me that Maw's bathroom made the head- lines in the newspaper recently. Sophie Gas- iorowska nearly drowned while practicing the back Stroke, she was rescued by Robert Hart- zell, our hero. As I pass into the hall I am greeted by the maid, Ruth Yankus, who informs me that Bob Cichowski has just captured the title of the Most Perfectly Broken Down Man of Mawis Boarding Housev from joe Kovalcik. Walter Bielich is telling his girlfriend, Olga Mikita, that he should have won the title. My oh me! what Father Time has been doing! I decided to stroll out in the garden where I meet Don- ald Nolte and Richard Smith plucking out the flowers and sparing the weeds. I notice Lawrence Trbovich making love to Wilma Multa by a weed buSh, with Earl Bald and William Hodson as an appreciative audience. The garden has become too thick for me. With a sigh, Ievacuate. Contact with my former classmates has not cured my weariness, I feel again the call of the open road.

V A National Celebrity Visits Our School The Golden Anniversary Year was honored by the presence of a national celebrity, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of our late President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Under the auspices of the C.I.O. she came to our auditorium on March 19 to speak at a political rally. Consumed with the initiative of future newspaper reporters and slightly curious, two of our Seniors, Mary Lazorcak and Anna Mae Skrak, talked their way into the Press Roomv. Through the efforts of Mr. Harry Ronczka, President of the Local Union 1843 of the United Steel Workers of America, our Senior friends met such political officials as: Mayor and Mrs. David L. Lawrence, Reverend Charles Owen Rice, Commissioner John I. Kane and Congressmen Herman P. Eberhar- ter. Mr. Parker, a representative of Local Union 1736 and a former student of South, had the girls roasting in the summer and freezing in the winter, as he told them some thrilling stories of South's one-time portables. Mrs. Roosevelt, the epitomy of simplicity, in dress as well as manner, greeted the girls graciously, and insisted that they be part of all the pictures. In fact, the girls were soon talking with her as though they had known her for years. They found her knowledge great, and her understanding of youth remark- able. When Mary and Anna Mae asked her questions concerning such controversial mat- ters as Compulsory Military Training and the Taft-Hartley Bill, Mrs. Roosevelt unhesitat- ingly expressed her opinions. She optimistic- ally places her faith in democracy, she is posi- tive that democracy can and will work if the American people awaken to their responsibil- ities and become proud to take part in their government. Upon America she places the responsibility of giving hope to the world. Anna Mae and Mary left the meeting walk- ing on airv deeply impressed with Mrs. Roose- velt's simplicity, sincerity, self-evasiveness, graciousness, and her keen desire to help her fellowmen,-she was a real inspiration! A Boy Graduate Looks to the Future We never miss the water until the well runs dryf' So with me, as the days of my stay at South High grow fewer, I begin to realize how much I am going to miss the school and what I have gained from my stay here. If education is a preparation for living, then I feel I have climbed the first rung of the ladder to success. When I entered South High, I had no thought of the future. Having com- pleted my secondary education I know definitely what profession I care to follow. During my stay here under skillful guidance, I took the courses best suited to pursue my life work. I learned to follow as well as lead, to become a part of the group, to assume responsibilities, to express my opinions, yet to respect those of others, to make friends, to accept advice graciously from my elders, to make good use of my leisure time, and as a result I desire to hitch my wagon to a star. Upon graduation I know I have some of the equipment necessary to forge ahead. My training at South High has lifted my head into the clouds. However, my feet remain on the ground and I salute South High. I thank her for the impetus she has given me for the future. May I, a South High graduate, never allow the water in the South High well to run dry. F rank Buczek 54 Girl Gruduute Looks to the Future When I registered at South High School in 1944, little did I know what was facing me. The physical structure of this building had me in a whirl. N ow after four years it seems too simple to even consider, I am consumed with a thirst for knowledge. I have grown mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially, under careful guidance I have been introduced to startling facts, have been awakened to the possibilities for a formally trained mind, have become conscious of the wealth of knowledge in the world, and as a result have determined to become a worthy South High Citizen. Little did I realize when I entered these portals that upon completing my secondary education I would be clamoring for a chance to enter an institution of higher learning. Words are inadequate to express my thanks for the many new vistas opened to me. I want to become an educated woman, seasoned by knowledge which will give the power to justly evaluate all ideas. A woman who will have constructive ideas, an understanding heart, an untiring genteel spirit, a generous hand, an all seeing eye, a patient ear, a woman in whom all the elements are so mixed that nature might stand up and say to all the world, 'There is a South High Graduate! There is a lady., 3' NW 44 -xv N .Z-', ' ...,.4 X 541+ , ,' 44-LgS1.,:,:. fy Q-lg, fra- . -F'? f?f'TH1 X -ff I .-f.Lr-f,:,, -' ' fu ,:- 1 :.'f.,:5:5:5,p V 1 rf .

The purposes of this club are to enable young men and women to be more capable citizens of our to- morrow, to appreciate the joys of homemaking, to promote interna- tional good will, to work for good home and family life, and to fur- ther interest in home economics. The creed urges us to face the future with warm courage and high hopes. Each Future Home Maker of America must do something for personal development, the family group, and the community. Our community project of this year is sponsoring on the South Side the tag day for the Childrenis Hospitals. For the first time students from our school attended the state convention held in Johnstown, Pa. The delegates were Yvonne Bielich, Marlene Bielich, and Marcia Stein, Miss Husted, chapter sponsor, accompanied the girls. One of the high-lights of the convention was a formal banquet held for the delegates. They returned home full of new and better ideas for their chapter. We sincerely hope this chapter will make as worthy contributions to society as our school has done in the past fifty years. 56 q . OO , ' 'ix' Q 4 2, Q., - O 22 2' 4,2 Q- .

In this quiet moment, two stately figures arose, and coming before the throne, bowed low. They were Duke Sterling, who crowned King Adalbert and Duchess Crossland, who crowned Queen Anna Mae. Following the coronation, the King and Queen addressed their subjects, after which they officially opened the ball by dancing to the first waltz of the evening. Among those present were many distinguished alumni, who added color, dignity, and prestige to this affair. The floor show provided a gay, festive atmosphere to the evening, it added the charm of i'Old Spainv to the South High Ballroom. Congratulations to all who made this event possible. It was truly one of the never-to-be-forgottenn affairs in the 50th Anniversary Activities. The ones re- sponsible for making the Fiesta Mardi-Cras a success were: Mr. Felix Castaldo, and various committees headed by Erwin Witalis, ack Smithyman, Pat Coyne, Vlary Lazorcak and Ralph Veltre. , Q. f 4' HL . 7 1- -QA U VW K of X il Q?

' -x X GRIDIRON REVIEW Candidates were heavy as opening day on the gridiron found many holdovers from last yearisp eleven. They set the pace to round out a championship team for the fall of 1947. Coach Group assisted by Coach Cue added the new look to South when he replaced Coach Ken Crump as head man on this year's team. The team strove hard to work under Coach Group's single wing instead of the for- mer T-formation. After many hard weeks of practice, the Orioles seemed ready for their first aggressor, Shadyside. The Orioles were out to reverse this winning streak and defeat- ed Shadyside 19-13. The Orioles showed very promising results in the passing department with George Dok- manovich heaving and Rudy Musulin pulling them in. joe Kiselica, Conrad Witalis and Val Zagorski round out the backfield along with Dokmanovich. Monument Hill was the place and Alleghe- ny was the team for the second encounter, but a powerful Allegheny eleven ripped through the line and around the ends to regis- ter a 59-0 beating. This alone was a catastro- phe, but another disaster faced the Orioles when George Dokmanovich, star half back and passer received a broken ankle early in the game. His loss was felt throughout the season. South Hills opened the City League Season edging a battered Oriole eleven 12-6. Billy Siatkowski replaced George Dokmanovich in the passing department, scoring South,s only six pointer, heaving a long pass into the hands of end Hartman. Moving to Oakland the Orioles met a strong red and black Schenley eleven who captured an easy 27-0 victory. Again the victors found it easy going around the ends and took advan- tage of our weakness. ' A bewildered Oriole eleven now set them- selves for the battle of the cellar when Allder- dice met South at Phillips Paifk. It was the Orioles, game all the way, but a bad pass, to- gether with an interception, enabled the Drag- ons to squeeze out their 6-0 victory. This de- feat gave South the undisputed ownership of the cellar. Peabody was next on the list as the High- landers were putting in their bid for the City Crown. They blanked the Orioles 20-0 on their home field. A strong passing attack completely handcuffed the Orioles through- out the first half, but the tables were turned as it was all South in the second half. Several long drives went deep into Peabody territory only to be stopped every time on the goal line. Needing only one victory to take the city crown, Westinghouse clinched the title, stop- ping the Orioles 19-0. A passing attack set up the first touchdown and long drives a- round the ends completed the scoring and gave Westinghouse the Section I Chamion- ship. Our congratulations go to Coach Group in his first year at South. He has started early to produce next yearis team. We are confident of better breaks next year. The acquiring of the new field in the not too distant future should inspire victory. Come dream with us until this field becomes a reality.

BASKETBALL These boys have seen their last season here at South High as the june Graduation sends them off towards a brighter future in the world of sports. They are, left to right, joe Kiselica and Stephen Russ, classy forwards, Billy Siatkowski, and Martin Marko, speedy guards, Stojan Maravich, star center, Paul Kuehn, playmaking guard and Ted Paskevich, another sharp shooting forward. In the cen- ter holding the ball is Manager Nick Obra- dovich. HARDWOOD SUMMARY With less than two weeks of the gridiron season faded in the past the Orioles lifted the cover on new and brighter hopes in basket- ball. Traveling to West End for their initial contest, the Orioles battled a tall Langley quintet, but the ball handling of the Cuemen Bouncing back from their pre-season set- back, the Orioles opened their regular City League schedule by Whipping a Weak Trojan team 36-14. The Connelley passers were com- pletely helpless against the strong Oriole at- tack. Stojan Maravich collected thirteen proved too much for the Mustangs as South points to lead the victors. took an easy 37-25 verdict. Moving to Fifth Avenue with much confi- dence, the Oriole quintet was again handed a sudden jolt when a strong Archer five kept the game in complete control, taking their first league victory 40-33. St. Casimirs, our Catholic rivals, were next on the pre-season list, but they set the Orioles on an even tilt. They emerged on top with a 31-19 victory. Bewildered from the previous defeat, the Orioles played host to a fast moving Schenley quin- tet. The fast breaks and accurate shooting of the Oaklanders prov- ed to be too much for the slump- ing Orioles as they were knocked further down the ladder 33-25. 61 Making their bid for the City Title, the Bulldogs from VVestinghouse visited the Mar- kethouse and secured a stronger foothold as a hard fought, breath taking contest ended with the Silverlakers edging through to win 21-19. The lead changed considerably throughout the game as NVestinghouse was forced to come from behind in the final min- utes to squeeze out their victory. Frank Doug- las took scoring honors by netting eleven points in the fray. Peabody kept hard on the heels of West- inghouse when the Orioles were handed their fourth straight loss as the Highlanders tripped the Cuemen 40-35 on the Highland Court. The game was on an even keel throughout the first half, but the Highlanders showed class and came out on top in the final quarter. Victory finally came to the Orioles at the expense of the Washington Voc. five. It was a hard fought, rough contest throughout, but the Cuemen regained control in the final minutes to save their lead and come out on top 36-33. Allderdice was next to feel the power of the Orioles in their drive toward the top. Frank Douglas, Walter Bielich, and George Dok- manovich made their last appearance of the year as the mid-year graduation hit hard. George Dokmanovich, in playing his last game, paced the Orioles with seventeen points to clinch their 39-29 victory. It also brought the first half to an end with South resting in 5th place with three wins and four losses. The opening of the second half found the Trojans no easy task as they handed South the toughest game of the season thus far, but their efforts were in vain as South gained vic- tory number three, the score being 34-31. VVillia1n Campbell broke into the high scor- ing club by leading the Orioles with nine points. With vengeance in their hearts, the Oriole five remembered the 40-33 defeat given them by the Archers and showed the Avenuers that they meant business, whipping the Red and White 31-22. Thus we extended our winning streak to four straight. Stojan Maravich paced the way with eleven points. The red hat Orioles moved to Oakland and continued their victory spree, bouncing a weak Schenley team 36-19. This victory put the Orioles in third place, a few games be- hind the league leaders. Bob Palonis, second half candidate showed the way by netting twelve points. The Orioles now moved to Homewood, where the league leading Westinghouse quin- tet remained in first place, sending a sad Ori- ole team home on the short end of a 47-40 score. The defeat snapped the five game win- ning streak and blackened all hopes of the Orioles to be in the City running. It was a hard fought contest all the way, but the vic- tors playing on their home court, could not be beat. Although scoring twenty points, Bob Palonis could not alter the final score. The Orioles were quickly satisfied when they staged the upset of the season in down- ing a strongly favored Peabody quintet 31-29. Being outsized, man for man, did not change the spirit of the Cuemen as a determined band set out and achieved their goal of up- setting the league. the loss eliminated Pea- bodyis chance to repeat as Section champs and put Westinghouse in, without a playoff game. Bob Palonis again paced the way by netting fourteen points. The Orioles fell beneath the sharp shooting of the Voc. quintet in a closely played con- test 34-33. South didn,t show the usual spirit as was seen in other games which could ac- count for the upset. Bob Palonis netted ten points for South in their vain attempt to pull the game out of the fire. The closing game of the 647-48N season Went to the Orioles. The score of 44-36 clinch- ed a third place birth in the final standings. This spot does not do this year's team justice as they continually proved to be the top rank- ing team, but our bad breaks throughout the season seemed to pay rewards to rival teams. Our congratulations go to Coach Cue for suc- cessful season this year. Stojan Maravich took the spotlight in the scoring department, totaling 123 points in 14 games. Runners up were Bob Palonis, Bill Campbell, and Martin Marko. Accepting a bid from the Orioles to play a benefit game for the Infantile Paralysis Fund, Allegheny, Section 11 runners up, edged the Orioles in a fast moving thriller 36-34. The towering Allegheny five were completely out- classed throughout the first half as a strong defense did not permit an enemy field goal for the first fourteen minutes of play. Over confident of their lead at half time, the Orio- les slumped and were defeated by a slim two points. Our prospects for next year are brightg we have several six feet men waiting to enter the shooting next season. - ' ' ' 'l'5Hl'H'l'l'l'H'I'l'1'Irl'l'I'5l'H'5 ' - I - - - Girls? later-Mural Sports This year, the girl athletes went all out for inter-mural sports. The fact that a classroom team was disqualified after three losses, made the competition keen. The team with less than three losses then competed. Hats off to the Norma Dembroski Ernestine Grimes 12 B champsg they carried off the honors all class team honors in Basketball, Volley Ball, and Swimming. Their reward was a letter and our congratulations. The following were let- ter winners: Anna Obradovich Parthenia Papuga Virginia Devine Helen Smurlo jean Miller Irene Trout 63 SWIMMING CHAMPIONS It usually takes time for a team or a coach to make a comeback, but failing to secure a football championship, Coach Group made a quick comeback and captured a swimming championship, the first in eleven years. Bax- ter was the first team to suffer defeat as the Oriole swimmers completely outclassed them, the score was 45-11. Herron Hill was the next foe to fall by a 40-29 score. The Orioles also had an easy time with Gladstone, beating them 41-26. Westinghouse was the only team to beat the Orioles in city competition edging South 41-36. These four meets got South ready for the championship meets. Zincus, Bole, Barner, Yeo, Grasky, Riska, Terleski, Gustion, Costella and Cichowicz were picked to represent South. The Semi-Finals went to South with NVestinghouse the only team to come within scoring distance. Allegheny High School set the scene for the championship meet as South, Westinghouse, Gladstone, Fifth Avenue, Herron Hill, and Knoxville all sent the cream of the crop to represent their school in the City finals. Westinghouse jumped off to a quick start taking the medley relay with South placing second. Gladstone took the lead in the twen- ty-five yard free style, South again taking the second place. Not placing in this row cost Westinghouse a few points, but they soon made them up by taking the back stroke, fol- lowed by South with a second and third place. Yeo put the Orioles back in the row by win- ning the breast stroke, setting the Orioles five points ahead of Westinghouse. The pow- erful free style relay team moved South farth- er ahead taking first place with Westinghouse a close second. The final event of the day was the fancy diving. Robert Cichowicz represent- ed South, and although he only took second place, it was enough to clinch the meet and give South the City Championship. The spirit of these boys proved to be the main factor in taking the meet as Terleski and Yeo, beaten in league competition and in semi-finals, came through to take honors in their respective events. In taking the crown, the Oriole swim- mers brought back 15 medals, 6 of which 'f f:UuuU. .. .. ...' .1 ' , . 11 .W ,f . ---Q-un were gold, designatingfirst place. The relay team of Terleski, Riska, Grasky, and Costella took four gold medals for their record of be- ing undefeated throughout the season. Yeo was also awarded a gold medal for taking the breast stroke and Terleski added a second medal when he came out on top in the fifty yard free style event. Our congratulations are extended to Coach Group in accomplish- ing this task of bringing a city championship to South after eleven years. We are confident that we will retain the City Crown when the Swimming Team resumes next season.

One could be bright and sharp and very witty, One could make rhymes on myriad tender themes One could point out that Alma Mater seems Most glorious of all the glories of the city, Most excellent, most understanding, wise Beyond the ken of thought and wondrous fair. Yet would these mouthings be but empty air At best-at worst a honeyed snare for flies. The tree is not effusive about Earth, Nor harvest of the loam which gives it birth. VERA L MOWRY Former pupzl Instructor of Englzsh George Washington Unwerszty .81 Treonstlreol Memories Refiviqveol 'W Vliz I iy. r ia MR. McLAUGIILIN, FORMER PRINCIPAL Celebrating this happy occasion, the Gold- en Anniversary of the founding of South High School, can only prompt each one of us who was ever a part of this school to go back through the years and in retrospect recount the achievements of those who attended this school which we have learned to love. Thirty-seven years brought many changes in the personnel, but through all those years of close personal contact with the teachers of South High, five years in the class room, and thirty-two years as principal, there was no change in the educational philosophy which was brought to this school by its first princi- pal, Dr. Holbrook, fifty years ago. The student body aroused and deserving respect and admiration for their attitude to- ward their teachers, their high standard of scholarship, and their appreciation of the op- portunity given to them to plan and prepare for worthy citizenship. Somewhere there had been instilled into their thinking and conduct a sense ot real values. In recent years I found over the gateway to a great university a motto and a challenge which, through the years might have had a place over the gateway to South High: Enter this gateway and seek to know The way of honor The light of truth The will to work for men? The passing years have proven that this injunction has been heeded by the sons and daughters ot this school. With a will to strive and to seek nothing but the best, may future generations take up the banner so nobly borne through fifty years, and carry on to continued honor and glorious achievement.

H H f Lin rv AX tncckf FACULTY OF 1912 FACULTY OF 1916 86 A Page Prom My Memory Book MISS STELLA STEIN MY FIRST DAY AT SOUTH HIGH ' SCHOOL Not so long ago-well they say it is fifty years, but I donit believe it-I betook myself with apparent courage, but really with con- siderable trepidation, to my first day of teach- ing. Dear Miss Lewis, who, having taught at Central High, had the confidence of experi- ence and also a kindly understanding for the misgivings of the totally inexperienced, had invited me to make my first appearance with her. The occasion was the opening of South High School in September, 1898. This open- ing was the fulfillment of long-cherished dreams and continuous efforts on the part of outstanding citizens of the South Side and their representatives on the Board of Educa- tion. Standing just inside the entrance to the dig- nified building, claimed at the time to be ar- chitecturally perfect, the kindly and genial Dr. R. Hieber Holbrook received us. Dr. Hol brook, a man of wide experience in school work, a man of ability and charm, was, as the recently elected principal, to direct the facul- ty and preside over the destinies of the South High students. Through him, Miss Lewis and I very soon made the acquaintance of the remaining members of the faculty, with whom we were to have such close association for so long a period. The faculty gathered there on that morning consisted of eight teachers, including the prin- cipal. As the first pupils of South High will well recall, the report rooms and the subjects of the teachers were as follows: Dr. Holbrook, Room 1, English and Mathematics, Miss Kath- arine C. Carnahan, Boom 2, Latin, Mrs. Eliz- abeth M. Williams, Room 3, English, Miss Susan M. Ewing, Room 4, History, on the sec- ond floor, Miss Elizabeth C. Riggs, Room 5, Art, myself, Room 6, German and Mathemat- ics, Miss Marie Lewis, Room 7, Biology, and Mr. Harrison H. Wood, son of Mr. C. B. Wood, Director of the Pittsburgh High Schools, Room 8, Chemistry and Physics. The laboratories for Mr. Wood's subjects and the lecture room were on the third floor. We could not help being pleased on that first day by the interior of the building. The halls were wide and well lighted, the stair- ways broad, graceful, and artistic, the eight teaching rooms large, airy, and attractively decorated and furnished. The children were a fine, lovable group, nicely dressed, well behaved, looking forward eagerly to new, interesting, and perhaps ex- citing experiences in their new school and among their new associates. Naturally, there were mischievous youngsters among them but these were not in evidence that first day. However, there were many there whose friendship we learned to value and whose loyalty has lasted through the years. After the pupils had gone, we gathered in the teachers' room for a faculty meeting. This meeting was very similar to all later organiza- tion meetings, being notable only because it was the first to be held in the school. Thus ended, not brilliantly but very satis- factorily, my first day of teaching and the first day of South Highis history. In recalling my first-day experiences at South High, it is only natural that I should think of subsequent days of pleasant associa- tion with faculty and students. The rewards have been many-notable among them is pride in the success of South High students in the various professions and in many other fields of endeavor.

NlATEEll Former pupil Recipient oi' lieuziebausen of 1948 given by University of Pittsburgh Blossomzing Interests and Activities SOUTH HIGH PIONEER The effectiveness of a high school today, in the opinion of most educators, may be measured in considerable part by the ex- tent and organization of its program of activities. In the classi room, only too often, it is everyone for himself. In the area of general activities, boys and girls learn to Work together for the common welfare. Q Thirty-five years ago, in the year 1913, the importance of a general activities program in the high school was not generally recognized. South High School was an exception to the rule, for it was there that an organized program of activities was planned and inaugurated at that time. A faculty committee, of which the Writer was chairman, was charged by Principal john M. Mc- Laughlin, with the task of formulating the program. This committee found little information available about such organization, and was under the necessity of devising its own. The program decided upon contemplated participation by every student in some activity outside the class room. Provision was made for clubs and service committees which might appeal to the voluntary interest of all the boys and girls in the school. A point system of values was attached to various activities, provid- ing limits to the time and energy a student might devote to them. These values were referred to the student,s record of scholarship, that scholarship might not suffer through over-indulgence in ac- tivities. Provision was made for distributing as widely as possible the opportunities for training in leadership. The plans outlined by the committee Were presented to the student body for approval and put into operation in the same year. It was not until years later that such organization of in- school activities became the subject of widely read books and of university courses. Today the presentation of such material is standard practice in schools of education. As in the field of organized parent-teacher relationship, ex- pressed through the Parent-Teacher Association, in which South High School was one of the earliest in the country, so, in the field of organized activity programs. South High School was a pioneer. The principles developed at that time are still considered sound and are Widely practiced today in secondary education. D. EDWIN INIILLER Member of South High School Faculty, 1912-1918 MR. D. EDWIN MILLER Student and Teacher South High School Principal, Peabody High School 1915 marked the beginning of Organized Girls Athletics at South. A Girls Basketball team with Mary Gentille, Martha Schmitt, Betsy Rohrkaste, Ethel Hayward, Leah Porter, Laura Schafer, and Olive White, was coached by Miss Oldham. 89 Richer and More Abundant Lifives EVERY STUDENT 1915 OLD FOURTEEN As I adjust my bifocals and think back to the days when South High was the daily des- tination of my contemporaries and me, no place stands out more vividly than old four- teenv. Up two flights of stairs we trudged to that dear old lecture room on the third floor, where everybody saw everybody else at one time. For this was our uchapelv room, and the most important happenings of the school took place here. Sandwiched between the physics lab. and the chemistry lab., it was at that time the only room in South High with elevated seats. The third floor was Popv Zellefs sanctum, and his long legs were always dashing back and forth as he removed the last piece of lab. equipment from the lecture table just as jim- my Mackv Cas we disrespectfully referred to our principal-J. M. McLaughlinQ ushered our distinguished speaker into the assembly. Here we heard such notables as Chancellor McCormick of the University of Pittsburgh, who spoke to us on Clean Living, Clean Speech and Clean Sportsf, Dr. Davidson, at that time head of the Pittsburgh school sys- tem, admonished us to Learn Something, Do Something, Be Somethingf, I never will forget the day that lovable little old man, Dr. John A. Brashear, the astrologer, spoke to us. In our young ignorance, we never stopped to wonder why such an important man would spend so much time with us, but we later learned he was our principal's uncle. He treated us all as though we too were nieces and nephews, showing how simple a really great man can be in his contact with the lowly. The pep meetings before football and bas- ketball games took place in Old F ourteenf, and many a rousing cheer vibrated the rafters. The third floor was home-room floor for the seniors, and as underclassmen, we were tol- erated up there only on these special occa- sions. It was also with eager ears that we caught mysterious sounds of Gamma Sigmai' literary programs floating downstairs on Fri- day afternoons, while the freshies had only study periods. Special activities in those days had to take place after hours, and Old F ourteenv was the scene of Chorus Rehearsals after school. In practicing our music, we also cemented friendships, and I think the janitors often wished we were a little less zealous. SALOME SLAMM EABIN, ,15.

Todayis modern method is an open forum in which the high schools participate by means of radio. Your voice booms over the airl Gone is the day when the high school debater pointed with scorn at the opposition and boomed- Mem- bers of the affirmative-we challenge you to answer these questionslv So, when you roll back fifty years of history at South you can quickly observe that no stu- dent activity played a more important role in the schoolis affairs and in the training of out- standing citizens than the debating teams which represented South over the years. The membership roll of these debaters includes judges, lawyers, physicians, scientists, teach- ers and business men-all of whom have add- ed luster to South as the producer of out- standing and representative citizens. vv- , ---M.-. ., W.- M -0. .1 CARNEGIE LIBRARY SOUTH SIDE BRANCH You k11ow they even had Junior debating teams then, a sort of scrub team which could not make the varsity of interscholarship de- bate where the future Daniel Websters of Pittsburgh vied for supremacy in the field of logic and oratory. And even the student body as a whole shar- ed in the development of the debating team. The students were the guinea pigs upon whom oratory was cast, while the two varsity teams argued the affirmative and the nega- tive of the question as a warm-up before the debates with the opposition high schools. Re- member the eloquent orations of the debaters in the old assembly room on the third floor of the old South High Building? As a climax there was the debate itself with three prominent judges sitting in final judg- ment upon months of preparation and study. It was hard work-the checking of the author- ities and the preparation of the arguments in chief and rebuttal. But it brought results. Englandis greatness, it has been said, was founded on the playing fields of Eton and Harrow. The development of many a commu- nity owes much to the knowledge gained in debating at South. Enough of reminiscing-the debating teams are gone, the forum over the air has succeed- ed them. What will the atomic age produce? As for me, I look back to decades of South High Debating Teams. Their members are and have been an integral part of life in their communities, they will be an active influence in the progress of the future. MAURICE H.

Yes, thirty-five years ago, education at South High School included an orientated trip through Peacock Alley to ten tail end portables. Was it always thus? Noi It began by an increased enrollment at South. One day Dr. Rynearson visited South High and at the entrance found Miss Lane, now Mrs. D. Edwin Miller teaching a class on the front steps of the school. And what does this mean? he asked. lust 'Steps In English' N, replied Miss Lane. This gave birth to two new portables to land- scape the front entrance and two more to beautify the rear extremity. Still South bulg- ed until these four portables merged and re- vamped with six more and became Peacock Alley. The passage connecting these portables to South High was planked and seamless where, in winter, the wind blew its blasts. The sheet iron sides wailed and sang their dirge. Still on, trod the students to these portables where the heating system couldnit save the life of an alligator, which placed in its water bed for the night, froze to death. In the sum- mer the students sweat it out to 99 under the tar roofs. Oh! Yes, you remember and are glad to forget. After ten years of five feathers in Peacock Alley, in 1923 the first rivet for the new build- ing, struck this peacock and gave to South its present fine building-Peacock Alley leaves to you, South High students, just a cocky swagger through the halls of a school you will always remember. Signed-the first tenants of Peacock Alley. EMMA F. CYDONNELL QSecretaryj Class of 1915 1 l Usefulness In an Industrial Age STILL REMINISCINC SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL-1914 to 1920 The New Look? you say? What new look? How new is it? Have you taken a glance at any of your old Orioles, recently? Say from back in 1916 or ,18 or ,20? Did you chuckle over the pictures of the long pleated skirts, shirtwaists or middy blcuses four uniformj and everything we call 'new', including High Button Shoesf, Seriously, this was a period of beginnings at South High School and while we laughed and worried, worked and played, we were adding to its history. It was in 1916 that K. K. Hall was first se- cured as a place to hold chapel. The difficulty was that it held over four hundredi' and the enrollment was 1035. The classes entering in 1916 had a novel experience. We met in the third floor of the Old Bedford Building for report rooms and also for some classes. Not many of us remem- ber that, but no doubt it was really something. Of course it was impossible to have all our classes in the Bedford Building so we madly tore down two flights of steps and up Tenth Street frain or shine, sleet or snowQ to try to make the next class on time, and then back down Tenth Street and up those same stairs for another session. Through all this reminiscing down 'Memory Lane' of what are you thinking? Did you swim in the Oliver pool, sometimes cold, sometimes hot? Did you hurry out with a wet head, so you could get an ice cream sand- wich before going back to class? And did you buy those huge dill pickles at the Market House to eat during Basketball games? The first school assembly at the Bingham St. Methodist Episcopal Church was held De- cember 16, to do honor to the seven boys from South High, who were killed or died of wounds in France. During these years the Parent Teachers League, the South Side Board of Trade and many other interested groups were quietly campaigning for a new South High School. They finally convinced the Central Board of Education that it was a 'musti and it was put on their list for early consideration. As one reads through the years, each class had its own class play and special highlights too numerous to itemize but will be remem- bered by the members of that group. The class of June, 1920 has thoroughly en- joyed an Annual class Reunion and dinner be- ginning with their Twenty-fifth Anniversary. It has been fun telling each other how much we have improved through the years since those early days. You should try it, and you would join us in saying that South High School was a wonderful institution, Worthy of our kindest thoughts as we go back the lane of memories to high school days. LOUISE PORTER BERLIN Class of 1920 l SOUTH SIDE MARKET HOUSE Through Books and Class Discussion FROM THE OLD TO THE NEW BUILDING In the fall of 1922 the first truck rolled away from South with sections of the portable buildings. It was almost with a sense of loss that we saw the load flapping as the truck bumped over Carson Street. As the weeks went by the buildings melted away, and our daily accompaniment to class- room recitation was the whoosh-boom of a pile driver. Day after day the pounding grew and on warm days, when windows were open, reached a cresendo that often made normal lessons impossible. Finally the morning came when the ground was completely dotted with concrete stumps, and steel beams grew into a structural maze. Row upon row of gleaming brick gave form to the skeleton as the next school year stretch- ed into spring. Then all progress seemed halted as activity on the exterior died. Only during lunch hours did we get a glimpse into the interior as plasterers and carpenters put finishing touches to what We hoped would l MR. CONSTANTINE MILROTH Class of 1927 soon be our new classrooms. We were partic- ularly interested in the construction of the au- ditorium because such a facility represented a new era to us. No more stairway seating for assemblies in the old building! There was no fanfare on the day the ramp from the old building to the new build- ing was opened. We were simply assigned to a few rooms to relieve the crowded condi- tions. We were even a little disappointed in the new quarters. After all, it would take years before these rooms would earn that lived-in atmosphere. H . il -1- al MR. OSCAR I. SCHWARM Class of 1921 C oss Athletics oottl Organized Sports Athletically South had many good teams, particularly in basketball. They were without an adequate home floor but our record was enviable. There were stand-outv basketball teams for South. Five teams earned City League titles in 1916, 1918, 1933, 1934, and 1937. W.P.I.A.L. honors were achieved by South floormen of 1910, 1916, and 1918. The crowning achieve- ment is that South is the only Pittsburgh Lity High League representative, which has ever gained P.I.A.A. Class A supremacy. And, South did it twice, in 1934 and 1937, under the superb supervision of Mr. Grover C. Washabaugh, now athletic director at West- minster College. Letis go way back. Oldtimers still rave about that 1910 squad, which was the Inter- State champion of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, and was directed by former principal Mr. j. M. McLauglin. Among those players were: Dan McGarey, john Baker, Dr. j. Gilbert Lloyd, the late D. jake Schein, Ollie Lobert, Harry Erickson, Edward Rectenwald, john Poleski, Leonel Taylor, Sidney Farmer, james White, Carl Lotz, and jay Gates. The 1916 luminaries finished by beating Fifth Avenue twice, 37-29 and 27-20, to win the title. This group was coached by the late Mr. A. H. Maurer. The players included Phl Gentile, captain, Paul Gross, Maynard Rosser, Albert Callahan, Edward CEpj Diegelman, Marty Williams, and joe Miller, with Dr. Wil- liam Gregory, manager. Mr. Burton Doyle directed the 1918 winner. The wellbalanced Orioles was composed of: Albert Callahan, captain, Dr. A. Milton Gross, Dr. Francis McDonnell, Dr. John Cjackl Leh- ner, Bernard CBarneyj Broderick, Bryce Swyers, Orson Valentine, and Jack Breiner, manager. Baseball Team, 1918 l L MR. PAUL KURTZ Former pupil Pittsburgh Press Scholastic Editor In that season, South defeated Beaver Falls 41-27 and Braddock, 28-26, to take the W.P.I. A.L. title. In an intercity series with Cleve- land Central, South won at home 43-31 but lost at Cleveland, 34-17. The 1933 basketeers, led by Bill jesko, also won the City League honor, but was beaten by Altoona at Penn State College in a P.I.A.A. Western Regional final. It was different with the 1934 and 1937 squads. South defeated Beading 42-17 for its first P.I.A.A. state title in 1934. Among those players were Grevice, Czerwinski, Jaunsie- wicz, Jakubowski, Hensler, Mamula, joe Spak, Zajch, Przywara, Joe Galizewski, Edward Czlapinski, Ed Spotovich, Charles Miskevics, Ed Milkovich, and managers, Tracz and Cie- len. The Southians came back again with anoth- er splendid 1937 team to give the Orioles their second P.I.A.A. State championship. South defeated Neyport Township 38-28 before 4,000 at Penn State College. South's rec:rd was twenty victories and one defeat. Players with the 1937 squad included: Rus- sell Yellig, john Walko, Stanley Wasik, joe Spak, joe Harowski, Walter Janick, Bronc Winkowski, Orvine Schohn, Ed Collura, Je- rome Klein, Fred Klinger, William Graves, George Yancura, jack Mahaven, and mana- gers, August Krop and Alex Davic.

We Remember the Honereel Dead MISS EDYTHE DAVIDSON Former Teacher, South High Twice in the history of South High School has the martial tread of war resounded throug its corridors. Soon after the beginning of the European War, as it was called in 1914, it was evident that the United States would be drawn into it. Insult after insult was heaped upon our nation by Germany, and on April 6, 19117 Congress declared war against Germa- ny and her Allies. The solemn news was received at South High School as both a challenge and a sum- mons. The school became a beehive of activ- ity. Sewing rooms were turned into Red Cross Centers where girls of the school and women of the faculty helped with hospital supplies and garments for French children. Kits were made and filled for every South High boy who went into the service. Meanwhile alumni, members of the faculty, and even undergraduates were entering the service and leaving for training camps. Only a few weeks of preparation-for in 1917, the need of fresh troops on the Western Front was great-then, these South High youths, with thousands of other American boys cross- ed the Atlantic, singing lustily as they sailed, 'iOver There, Mademoiselle from Armen- tieresf' It,s a Long Way to Tipperaryf' etc. They gave a good account of themselves in the trenches at Belleau Wood, Chateau Thier- ry, in the Argonne and on other battlefields. The going was hard, very hard at times-foot sore and weary, in mud and in rain. The signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918, brought to an end the carnage of war-a war which was fought to end all warsl We believed it then. Peace brought a with- drawal of the United States from World af- fairs and a concentration upon peaceful pur- suits at home. Oh, yes, there was unrest in Europe, but that did not concern us! Even when England declared war against Germany in 1939-after Hitler had overrun most of Europe-we felt pretty secure. We had the Atlantic Ocean between us and Europe. Then came the fatal day, December 7, 1941 when the entire nation was stunned by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In the Global War which followed, South and South Vocational High Schools were rep- resented in all branches of the service. Over two thousand young men and women who once sat in the classrooms of the school or taught on its faculty took part in this colossal struggle. In many cases they were sons and daughters of veterans of World War I. Their activities encompassed the world. Outstanding service was given by young women from South with the Army and Navy Nurse Corps, also in the Waves, the Marines, the Spars, the Red Cross, and W.A.C. The first W.A.C. to set foot upon foreign soil was a South High alumna, Odessa Howieson. Some of our men attained high rank in the Air Corps, the Army, and the Navy. Some re- ceived citations for bravery in action. In fact, epic stories could be told of the exploits of many. There was the young marine who, single-handed, wiped out an attacking force of laps. Yes, and there were the two lads tak- en prisoners in Italy and forced to spend over twenty months in a German prison camp. Sixty-five of these South and South Voca- tional High boys gave their lives in this sec- ond great struggle for freedom. Those Who Left Home or Comntrys Call OUR MEMORIAL TABLET Our beautiful bronze memorial tablet, bearing the names of two hundred ninety-two students who served in the World War, was unveiled on Armistice Day with appropriate exercises, under the direction of the Alumni Association. After the invocation by the Rev. H. E. Reinecke, pastor of the Park Avenue Presbyterian Church, and an alumnus of the school, Mr. Daniel I. Winters, city councilman from the South Side, and William T. Powell, Adjutant of the Col. John W. Patterson Post No. 151 G.A.R. spoke. Kiplingis beautiful song Lest We F orget was sung by Russel H. Kirk '11, Walter F. Gross, '14 president of the Alumni Association, presented the me- morial to the school. It was unveiled by john Sias, who served with the 155th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War, and his grandson, Lieut. Maynard T. Rosser, '16, of the 306th Machine Gun Battalion in the World War. Dr. William M. Davidson, Superintendent of the Pittsburgh Public Schools, ac- cepted the memorial in behalf of the Board of Public Education, and Principal I. M. McLaughlin accepted it in behalf of South High School. The impressive ceremony was closed with benediction by the Rev. Reinecke. The South High orchestra played under the leadership of Mr. Kwalwasser. 100 FIefczm1EfeIzt Thanks I0 fa: Genfemms Community NICIIT SCENE OF JONES be LAUCIILIN MILLS OLIVER IRON 81 STEEL CO. PLANT-OUR NEAREST NEIGHBOR 101 Golden Anniversary Greetings FROM DR. EARL A. DIMMICK Superintendent of Schools As Superintendent of Schools, I welcome the opportunity to congratulate the alumni, the principal, the faculty, and students of South High School upon their schoolis completion of fifty years of service to the community. Few schools in Pittsburgh have such a long record of achievement in the education of youth. I trust that the celebration of this Colden jubilee marks the dawn of a new era of increased service-an era in which plans of the Pittsburgh Board of Public Education for improved educational facilities will match the zeal of the school and community for making South High School's next fifty years even more suc- cessful than the last. FROM THE HONORABLE JAMES H. DUFF Governor, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania It gives me real personal pleasure to send my greetings to South High School and its alumni who are observing the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of that famous old school. A half century of uninterrupted service to the public is noteworthy, especial- ly in training succeeding generations for their careers in life. Since 1898 old South High School has had many graduates who have distinguished themselves. I am happy to include some of them among my personal friends. I would enjoy it greatly if I could be with you for your anniversary celebra- tion, but prior engagements prevent it. Therefore, I am sending you this note of greeting so that you may know that my thoughts are with you. FROM THE HONORABLE DAVID L. LAWRENCE Mayor, City of Pittsburgh I am very happy to extend to you, as one of the General Chairmen of the South High School Golden Anniversary, my sincere congratulation on this happy event. South High School and its graduates have played an immensely important role in the life and the progress of our city. It is only fitting that the 50th Anni- versary of this fine school should be suitably celebrated. The occasion calls for my very best wishes, and those of the whole City of Pittsburgh, for a most suc- cessful celebration. 102 To Go Forth To Seroe THE HONORABLE SARAH M. SOFFEL Iundge of Common Pleas Court Former Student of South High No lesson is so important to learn, and no habit is so important to acquire, as a right judgment and a delight in fine characters and noble actions. Aristotle, Politics VIII. 5. 17. The School derives its greatness not from the bricks and mortar that shape its buildings, nor its fine equipment, but from the charac- ter and skills of its teachers. The teacher who arouses in his pupil an appreciation of the power of knowledge and who points to the need for values and standards in living has by his vision inspired far beyond the ordinary disciplines of education. The South High School that I attended was a good school. It was small. Dr. Holbrook headed its very able faculty. Our teachers were young, friendly and keenly interested in their students. Life was simpler then. The outside diversions were not so many. Students applied themselves with diligence. On this the Fiftieth Anniversary of South High School I would pay tribute to the men and women who constituted its first faculty-those gallant souls who set the pattern and the high stand- ards that through the years have character- ized South Their inspiration, vision, and un- derstanding are reflected in the lives of their students whom they stimulated to seek know- ledge. The primary objective of education is to teach an individual to think. It must fit and prepare one to make a living. It must teach men to live in society with their fellowmen. It must develop the spiritual and the moral, so that, having standards and appreciating values, one shall be prepared to choose the right. Education then must include a voca- tional element, a social or political element, and a spiritual element. We of this generation are privileged to live in an epic moment of history. In a true sense of the word our generation has a rendezvous with Destiny. Ours is a World dominated by technology and science which have reduced time and distance to nothing. Yet ours is a world adrift, characterized by misery and Want, hunger and need, instability and chaos. Twice in twenty-five years We have waged World wars to destroy the forces of darkness and to strengthen democratic ideals. Although we have not yet cleared away the rubble and the ashes of the last world conflagration we are even now threatened by another war. We stand on the threshold of the Atomic Era. Un- less we can achieve peace and learn to live with our fellow-men in good will and brother- hood, our education will be of no avail. There is need to develop again those traits of charac- ter which made us a strong people: integrity, initiative, independence, and courage. Citizenship consists not solely in informa- tion or intellectual interest, it is conduct, not theory, action, not knowledge alone. The young people of this generation must be train- ed to be the world citizens of tomorrow. Greater emphasis needs to be placed on that aspect of education which fits the individual for living as well as for vocation and public service. To develop this type of individual will be the role of South High School during the next fifty years. The foundations have been built, the superstructures need to be strengthened and reinforced, that those who enter to learn shall go forth to serve. SARA M.

HOME OF GOOD FOOD Where you serve yourself and Sa 118 Lfvngrafulafion ! CONGRATULATIONS to the South High School of Pittsburgh on 50 years of successful operation in the education of our young men and women in one of the most dynamic and important sections of our city! Congratulations also to the sons and daughters of J 8: L employes and to all the students who are graduating from the South High School! To go to school in America, where a sound and useful education is available to anyone and everyone who wants it, is a priceless privilege. And, when school days are over, to work in America, at the job of your choice, and to enjoy the comforts, conveniences, and luxuries that our high standard of living provides, is in many respects the greatest privi- lege of all. But it must never be forgotten that these priceless privileges which are a part of the very foundation of our American Way of Life, represent a grave challenge to the young men and women of this community and of every community. We must keep America free. Our high standard of living is the result of our ability to produce. Our free competitive enterprise system is an incentive to greater production, lower costs, and reduced prices. Let's all do our utmost to keep it free and not only retain, but better our standard of living through greater production of the things we need.
