South High School Class of 1936

The purpose of this blog is to assist me in locating members of the 1936 graduating class of South High School in Pittsburgh PA. In 2003, I acquired a box of calling cards that my grandmother, Ida Turkovich, had saved for many years. Looking over the names, I became interested in each individual. Knowing that every card was last in the hand of its original owner, so long ago, stirred a curiosity in my heart. I am now on a quest to reunite each of the cards with its original owner.

Mary Holowchak

This lovely young lady on the left is Ms. Mary Holowchak, who graduated in the February class of 1936 from Pittsburgh's South High School on East Carson Street. I have two spellings for her last name, "Holowchak", as it appears on her calling card and "Hollochak" as it appears in the yearbook. I suspect that there was an error in the spelling in the yearbook, as the cards are typically custom made/ordered by each individual. Here are some additional deatils about Mary, from the yearbook:

Nick Name: Mary
Clubs/Activities: Oriole Staff
Description: Mary's sports and journalism fill her life to the brim, but her willingness to give up her time to help someone else makes her a friend

to all.
