Sfrong eamd -.fd Sfeinmefz gncwfifcon ln only ten years, Steinmetz athletes have made such a good name for themselves that they are respected cmd feared by op- ponents in their contests. The record speaks well for this comparatively new high school. With the crushing defeat rendered Austin in the course of the l943 football season Steinmetz realized one of its fondest dreams. The grid men captained by Tom Neswold and including McCarthy, Mills and Chesney, won our first section title and took us to the city championship game against Phillips, further than any previous team had gone. Here we must takenote of the 1936 team, led by Tony Canadeo, that missed winning the section crown by the toss of a coin. Twice in its history the baseball team gained the city championship. In l939, with the great keystone combination, the Lorenz twins, and Kafara, Quandee and Opat- kiewicz on the team, Steinmetz defeated Lane in the finals to take its first prep baseball title. Two years later, this performance was repeated, with Farragut as the unfortunate victim. That year the attack was led by Bob Possehl's pitching, Dan Canadeo, Adams and Len Oszakewski, captain. Basketball's years were '42 and '43, when they reached the sectional playoffs. Some of the star per- forrners were McAdams, Kurth and Keany. Mr. Pfeil's bowlers won most of their games in 1940 and went to the semifinals. They were forced to submit to a superior Lane team. - In 1943 the Golf Team took its first trophy by defeating Lane High School's team. Play- ers for Steinmetz included Gaude, Bastian and Hookanson. In the 1941 season the seniors of the Swim- ming Team took fourth place in the city by Winning nineteen out of twenty-one dual meets. Some of the more valuable members of the team were Ken Alberts, lack Hendry and Ed Berge. In 1940 the Track Team rated as State Dis- trict Champions, or in other words city cham- pions since Chicago was a state district. Those who placed in the city went to a down- state meet. In that year Bill Napier took the city title in the 220 yard dash. Other team members were loe Vruno, Bob Frelich, Ray Mielke and lack Hendry. I A school that has shown such power in athletics in ten years should have a brilliant future in competitive sports. at QQWJ

jfolo ieff . . we 0 lZACf0lf'g Among the trophies earned by Steinmetz teams or representatives during her first decade are these examples, gathered for a picture. There are two baseball trophies, awarded to the teams of 1939 and 1941. The handsome winged figure at the left was won by the Local History Club, in 1939. The same club brought to our school the lamp of learning you see beside the center baseball figure, this being won in the 1938 contest. The Local History Club for a third time brought home a trophy, the large cup second from the right, again in a contest conducted by the West Side Historical Society. Two baseball city championships and three historical contest trophies in ten years are an honorable record. We are justly proud of these. In the left background is a plague won by the Clean-Up Campaign in 1941. This is called the Community Service Award and shows Chiccgo's civic emblem. The shield at the top of the picture represents victory for the Steinmetz team in the Women's International Bowling Congress in 1940. The B.O.T.C. won the American Legion trophies in 1936, the cup at the left: in 1937, the cup at the extreme right of the picture: in 1939, the cup at center front of picture display: in 1941, when the figure second from left was presented: and in 1942, when the drum majorette at the right of the picture was awarded. Besides these marching trophies, the R.O.T.C. has won awards for marksman- ship and countless boys have won medals. The large plaque in the center of the picture is the Science Award, on which each year is inscribed the name of the highest ranking science student at Steinmetz.
