1   Scrapbook Cleveland High School Seattle, Class of 1964, 50th Reunion, August 9, 2014 PhotosbyBenjaminBenschneiderforMahlum Reunion Edition
Scrapbook This Scrapbook is incomplete and very casual. It includes all the photos and memories sent to and collected by Kathy (Blackburn) Reed, Alison Sing and I over the last couple of years. The book was inspired by Alison’s effort to connect our class through Facebook and a few photos I took in 1957 at Maple School. You’ll see as you flip through these pages that the book is literally a scrapbook: a collection of notes and memories from personal collections. It’s intended to be random, fun and approachable. I’ve enjoyed putting it together. Most of all, I’ve enjoyed the memories that, inspired by your contributions, came flooding back and gave me another chance to experience growing up and going through school with all of you. It’s not complete. I hope that the book as it is will inspire you to send me additional stories and photos. I’ll create an updated addition after this reunion with the material I receive. ted@tedleonhardt.com 2   Cleveland High School Seattle, Class of 1964, 50th Reunion, August 9, 2014

Mrs. Helene Yorozu 4/24/13 Thanks to Val Van Norman Class of ‘63 for the memories John S. Brown Helene Yorozu  was included in the 6th grade Maple combined class photo because she had a few 6th graders in with her regular 5th grade class.  Lucky them.  I could go on for probably hours just about her.  She was my all time favorite teacher as she was for probably 99% of all kids she taught.  I was fortunate to have her for her very first public school class she ever taught.  Her maiden name was Miss Tsutsumoto.  She married Art Yorozu in early 56 and invited all us students to the wedding.  Lots of us went.  A large group of that first class kept in touch with her, visiting her home from time to time and were also invited to her retirement party years later as a big surprise.  We gathered at her home in the Seward Park highlands for a 5th grade 50th anniversary party in about 2004.  Of the 37 members of that class, more than 25 came.  Others would have but were too far away to be able to.  A year or two later, She and Art held a 50th wedding anniversary celebration at the top of the Columbia Towers in downtown Seattle.  I, along with a few other former 5th grade classmates, were honored to be invitees.  First time I was an attendee at both the wedding and the 50th anniversary celebration of that wedding. A side note to all this.  In high school,  one of my very favorite teachers was John S. Brown.  He was an excellent teacher, very funny and very good with young teens.  When Helene graduated from the U of W she "cadetted" under Mr. Brown before being sent out on her own at Maple School in 55.  It was a sad day, one of my very saddest personal days, when I got a call from Art that Helene had passed on.  A large group of us "5th graders" attended Helene's funeral and the party afterward, to celebrate Helene's life thrown by her husband Art, at the South China Restaurant in the Newport Hills shopping center.    Thanks for stirring up such wonderful memories. 7/28/13 “I loved  Mrs. Yorozu and was fortunate to have her as a teacher for two years.  I remember making beautiful Japanese fish kites.  Also, I'd bike to her home, which seemed like a really long ride.  There she taught me basic Japanese flower arranging.” Mary Schenkenberger Facebook,2010 37

Memory Book Stories 54  
Blessed with a half century of life’s experiences since high school. 2013 The shades would be drawn and we would put our head on our desk and close our eyes. The teacher had better not see an eye in the crowd. Out of fear I kept my eyes shut tight waiting for rest time to end so I could relax. Bob Supino First grade was at St. George’s grade school. I have some not so pleasant memories of my time there. By the end of the school year I was traumatized and begged my parents to let me go back to Maple, which they finally agreed to. I have no memories of second grade or of the teacher. The class moved on to third grade dragging me with it. Third grade I do remember. The teacher, I believe Mrs. Nielsen, was strict. One time she misunderstood me and thought I was contradicting her. She slapped me, but not hard. I took it like a man. She was a good teacher as most teachers were in that era. I think she was the teacher that would treat us to her chalk art, although it may have been the second grade teacher or a fourth grade teacher. It was fascinating watching her turn blackboard and chalk into a scene. Academically, except for arithmetic, school was a struggle for me from third grade on. I could memorize twenty spelling words for the weekly test and forget them an hour later. Reading was slow and writing was a monumental task. However, I did advance to fourth grade. My first year at Maple Grade School was in kindergarten. I remember finger painting, which I enjoyed, and playing house in the back of the classroom. I also remember rest time. 55  
Bob Supino, cont. In fourth grade we had three different teachers, all women and all pretty and all good teachers. The first teacher seemed to balloon up and had to leave as did the second teacher. We hated to see each leave and knew that the replacement could not be as good. But each replacement was as good and fourth grade was pleasant outside of my academic struggles. In fifth grade we had a young pretty teacher who thought that I was somewhat of a trouble maker who needed guidance. I being a trouble maker was a false perception. When there was general misbehavior I seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She sent me to the principal’s office twice. The second time I got a swat on the butt. I was more upset at the injustice of it than in the swat - I did not blame her. I believe the teacher’s name was something like Miss Denotty. My favorite color was red. I asked her what her favorite color was and she said blue. From then on my favorite color was and is blue. I believe she left teaching. I really did like her and she was very pretty. I sat near the back of the fifth grade class. A pretty little girl sat in front of me. She was asking what I was going to be when I grew up. She then said that she was going to marry me. I don’t think I said much after that trying to stay out of trouble of all sorts. Fifth grade passed and we were ready to be the big sixth graders on campus. There were two sixth grade teachers I remember, Mr. Trimm and Mr. Dwayne. The talk was that Mr. Trimm was the cool teacher most everyone wanted and Mr. Dwayne was the hard nose task master. We were assigned Mr. Dwayne. By the end of the year we were thankful for having him. He commanded respect, was a good teacher and was fair. He was the first male teacher I had and we all liked him. World are you listening? Oh well, at least I can hear me. 1977 56  
Bob Supino, cont. My best friend at the time who I knew from when I was three or four years old lived across the alley from me. For a time in the sixth grade on the playing field he would chase the girls and kiss them. I told him that I would like to do that and he tried to convince me to go ahead. I was scared. What if the girl kissed me back? At that age girls could run just as fast as boys. What if I could not outrun one of them and they chased me down and did me bodily harm? I left such play to the experts. General remembrances of grade school are earthquake and a-bomb drills. For earthquakes we would get under our desk. For a-bombs we would lay on the floor on our stomach under the windows with our head towards the windows. The boys would cover their heads with their coats and girls would cover their legs. It seemed strange that the girls did not also cover their heads but I guess each was to cover their most important assets. Sixth grade was coming to an end and my time at Maple to a close. I had memories of St. Valentine’s Day and Halloween parties and play time. I spent almost half my life at Maple Grade School with the same kids. I did not want to see it end. I did not like the idea of growing up. Looking back I think it was a special time in a special place during a special era. Asa Mercer Junior High School was the next stop in my academic life. It was only two blocks from my home instead of the mile I walked to Maple. Now teachers were specialized in their subject. Each subject was in a different room with a different teacher. Most of junior high school is a blank to me. I only remember a few of the teachers but made new acquaintances. Academically I was doing very poorly. I pretty much failed the seventh grade and was let in the eight on a trial basis where I did better particularly in math and science. By the eighth grade I was enjoying Asa Mercer and looking forward to the My next door girl friend, Fancy. She liked me better than the good looking boy across the alley. At least that is what she told me in 1951. 57  
Mr. Brown and Roost photos Aquila ’63 Bob Supino, cont. ninth grade. My friends from the neighborhood and I were called into the office. The world was about to fall in on me. We were told that the school boundaries for the ninth grade were redrawn and we would have to attend Cleveland High School the next year. Maple Grade School and Cleveland High School were three short city blocks apart. Between them were two variety stores selling candy and food to the school kids. The name of the store nearest Maple I do not recall. The other store was the Eagle’s Roost. While in grade school, the store nearest Maple we could go into before and after school. We were told never to go into the Eagle’s Roost. It was supposedly filled with big, mean, ugly high school kids who would knuckle your head as easily as look at you. It was scary. Now after only two years in junior high school, instead of being the big fish at Asa Mercer, we were going to be the small fry at Cleveland with those scary kids. I was very depressed. I remember little of the ninth grade. One teacher I remember was Mr. Brown. He was a little unorthodox and admired for it. That is except by me. I was depressed being there and not impressed with Mr. Brown. My not being impressed had little effect on the world situation but a great effect on me. Within my first week at Cleveland he ordered me outside and gave me a lecture. I have no idea what it was about. I certainly would not have said much being in a state of semi-shock. Maybe I did not give the proper admiration expected. I struggled and made it through his class whatever that class was. I maybe even liked him by the end of the semester. Another teacher I remember in the ninth grade is one maybe most kids did not like, but I did. I believe his name was Mr. Holt and he taught math. He was old school. Nonsense was not a personal attribute that he would tolerate. My ninth grade may have been his last year of teaching. The class was on the top floor and the windows faced toward 58  
Bob Supino, cont. the playing field and Georgetown. I sat in the back next to a window. On a warm day with the window part way open it was very pleasant being in the class feeling a warm breeze blow over me. It was also a math class, which was not a mental threat to me as my other classes were. Other teachers and classes I remember through high school are Mr. Englund who taught geometry, a subject I really liked; Mr. Edgerton who taught chemistry and whose Canadian accent added to the class; Mr. Mendenhall who taught Business and was old school; Mr. Corlett who taught calculus, another subject I really liked; Mr. Williams who taught biology; Mr. Langley who I think I had for history class; Mr. Devine who taught the dreaded Language Arts. Mr. Langley liked me. I must have spoken up in class on the subject matter. Mr. Devine knew my dad and I liked him. I think he was a better teacher for the dreaded Language Arts than the women teachers I had. Two teachers that gave me some of the most valuable training I needed a few years hence were Mr. Phelan and Mr. Wallrof. Forcing me down for pushups and yelling at me calling me a knucklehead prepared me for future non-voluntary employment.   Mr. Langley was a most interesting teacher. I believe it was he who told us that he cut his own hair. Many of us were amazed that someone could cut their own hair - his hair always looked good. I also think it was Mr. Langley who told us that when he had a cold his voice would get lower and he would have a good singing voice, which he demonstrated to us once. I tried it myself at home but it was not a positive experience for those around me. In Mr. Williams’ biology class we were paired up in two-boy or two-girl teams. There were an odd number of boys and an odd number of girls. I got paired with a girl. It made the class more enjoyable doing projects PhotosAquila‘62&’63 Mr. Englund Mr. Mendenhall Mr. Edgerton Mr. Langley Mr. Wallrof Mr. Williams Mr. Phalen Mr. Devine 59  
Bob Supino (cont.) with a girl and I did well. My friends kidded me that the girl liked me. I liked her but I was not sure what that meant. The cute little girl in grade school that said she would marry me was now a cute high school girl. One would have to slosh through the back bayous of her mind to find any remnant of me. She was I believe a cheer leader at one time and on various committees and groups. I was deeply fixed in the invisible out crowd struggling to get through my classes and not wanting to grow up. Back then I wasn’t cool, a condition that stayed with me ever since. But I am living proof that the Lord blesses the uncool also. Unlike today, teachers back then were respectable and respected. I did not know the political beliefs of any teacher I had. They did not beat a drum or demand some kind of political correctness. There was a teacher I gladly did not have in my senior year that was ahead of her time. She was beating her drum of social values or lack of them. The taboo of telling pupils what to think instead of teaching them how to think was being broken. I thank all my teachers for giving what they had to give and being a part of my life. High school came to an end. Two neighborhood friends and I dressed up and went downtown as high school diploma carrying adults to see the world through different eyes. They turned out to be the same eyes we always had. The cold cruel world lay ahead. The next year I worked at the Post Office in downtown Seattle. I enjoyed the job and liked working downtown. A year later in 1965 I attended Highline Junior College. It was like high school without the structure. I could come and go as I pleased and chart my own course. There were even a few faces from Cleveland there. There was no out crowd to disappear into. It was the great equalizer. About the middle of my second year I was offered a job in the government. It was highly 60  
Bob Supino (cont.) specialized in a field of work I would not normally have considered. After finishing my second year at Highline I was given eight weeks of highly technical training. At the end of the eight weeks I knew which end of a high powered rifle bullets went in and which end they came out. I was now an American fighting machine expecting to be sent to Washington DC to eradicate those elements taking away our freedoms and liberties. Instead I was sent to Korea. After twelve months I was sent back to the States. Having less than five months to serve I was discharged with full GI benefits. Three major events changed our world during our primary school years. The first for me started earlier. I have vivid memories of when I was three years old in the hospital. I could not walk and was weak. The doctors told my parents I had polio. I was occupying a single room in a crib like bed. At night I was scared of every little noise. After a few days, for entertainment I was placed at a table with another boy who was going to show me how to blow bubbles from a dish of soap through a straw. I was tied down to the chair I was in to keep me from falling out. I was also getting better with the strength returning to my legs. I tried to stand lifting the chair off the floor. That is the last I remember of being in the hospital. Today it is hard to imagine epidemic scares in any major American city. But then public areas would be closed such as Seward Park because it was thought that polio could be transmitted in the water or by close contact. In 1955 Dr. Salk discovered the vaccine for which he is known. The most dreaded epidemic childhood disease could now be prevented. Every child in America would get vaccinated as soon as possible. The doctors and nurses came to Maple Grade School with their vaccines and needles. We lined up to have our arm poked. I do not remember it well, but it seems to me they set up out of a van on the playfield between the main building and the portables. We got the first of three American fighting machine at rest, but vigilant. 1968 61  
Bob Supino. cont. shots with two more to follow about a month apart. We were part of a national effort. In 1957 the Russians launched Sputnik. America was number one in everything. How could another country be first in space? Our pride and security were now threatened. In seventh grade I remember a teacher saying that for each of us in the class there was our counterpart in Russia and if we wanted to stay free we would have to do better than he did. That was the grade I almost failed. I figured my counterpart must be really dumb, so I didn’t worry. In 1963 I was in Mr. Corlett’s study class when someone came in telling us that the president had been shot. The next three days were unreal. The America we thought we knew had come to an end and a new less attractive America was born. We were far more politically astute about politics than kids are today. My parents voted Democrat and I would have also if I could have voted. I was pro Kennedy in 1960 but I disliked Johnson that dislike turning out to be well deserved. Except for space exploration the promise of America we were told of during our school years he turned into “Guns and Butter”. America got lost in war and welfare never finding its way out and losing at both. " I used up the GI Bill eventually getting a degree in physics from the U of W. Through school I worked part time at the Post Office in downtown Seattle. A good friend of mine from Cleveland, Walter Wong, also was working there part time while going to school. We pretty much did things together. I graduated into a very cold world. At that time someone had put up a sign in north Seattle asking the last person to leave Seattle to please turn out the lights. Boeing had just lain off 70,000 employees in the years previous. I got a job as a bench technician for a small electronics firm. I then applied to the federal government and got a job with the Navy in Bremerton doing acoustic testing on submarines. It paid a living salary and had a good Recent bride packing it in to the Pasayten Wilderness. 1977 62  
Bob Supino, cont. retirement. My wife and I decided to move out of Seattle and settle on the west side. We moved to Allyn in North Mason County where we have been since. I got married at 30 and we had our only child when I was 38. Having a child at that age helps keep one young. Before having our child my wife and I had a wonderful time enjoying life together and doing a little traveling. While our child was growing up we had a wonderful time raising her. Any travel was within the country or to Canada. After our daughter left home we are having a wonderful time being together and doing some overseas travel again. It is now fifty years from high school and life is still good. Wife and daughter in the Negev. 2008 63  
“I remember that when we’d have fire drills in typing class we knew that Mrs. Hays would never make it back to class after the drill. She was just as wide as she was tall. Class was on the third floor. She had to rest on every landing on the way up. We’d spend the rest of the period chatting away happily” “Health was even better, we girls would spend hours thinking up the most embarrassing questions about sex that we dared to ask. Then just loved watching Mrs. Harris turn all shades of red before finding a way, any way, to not answer the question.” Kathy (Blackburn) Reed Kathy in the ‘58 Maple sixth grade class photo 64

After graduation I was sent to the Army Electronic Proving Ground at Ft. Huachuca, AZ where I was assigned to a special multi-year project where my subsequent orders for Viet Nam were cancelled. When active duty ended I switched to the Army Reserve where I eventually retired, earning a pension and the best health insurance around for the rest of our lives. 66   Ted J. Grimes I have been employed as an insurance agent, owned a tavern supply route, owned a pool table manufacturing company, worked as warehouse and shipping managers for several companies, owned an escrow company, was a data analyst for BOEING, again retiring, owned a small trucking company and am currently moonlighting as CFO for a frac sand company supplying the oil and gas industry while enjoying retirement. Relationship: Sherian Butler (the smartest things I ever did). Ongoing: I have traveled to all 50 States, Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas; enjoyed years boating through Puget Sound and the Canadian Gulf Islands, RV’ing in several National Wilderness Areas and lately, wintering in Las Vegas. Sheri and I are now exploring the military’s space available travel programs having flown to and from Hawaii and planning a trip to the UK and Europe where I want to ride the Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul. As I said, life has been good so far.
Rocket man 2014 a ferry boat, board it like a pirate, take the cash and valuables from the passengers and drop back into their boat and disappear where the ferry would not be able to follow. The main obstacle would be how to stop the ferry in open water. Ted Grimes: My Model Rocket (I have not talked with these guys for years so I feel uncomfortable giving out their names) They engaged me to help out by having me fire a rocket across the bow of the ferry from a launch site at Alki with the announcement that the next shot would hit and sink the ferry (a bluff but the ferry captain wouldn’t know it) if it did not stop.   I decided to test fire a rocket first to get a feel for the project and make sure I could come close enough to the ferry to convince the captain to stop the boat. Since most of the good ingredients to make the fuel were on the “prohibited” list at Scientific Supply where they would not sell those ingredients to minors, I had to design a rocket that was accurate using a less than optimal fuel. An effective design of the rocket engine ‘throat’ would be critical. I also didn’t want the rocket to In my junior year at Cleveland a couple of my classmate friends thought it would be really cool to rob a ferry boat out in the middle of Elliot Bay. They thought it would be the perfect crime to stop 67  
Ted Grimes, cont. fly away with my throat design so I decided to make the first attempt a rocket car instead. That way I could follow it and retrieve it for further study. A trip down to Puget Sound Salvage on Fourth Avenue South yielded a 1.5” diameter stainless steel rocket tube and an 8” solid stainless steel rod the same diameter as the tube. A trip to the neighborhood hobby shop provided a set of 4 model airplane wheels. I added 2 metal coat hangers and some duct tape from the house to complete my parts list.   I had my next door neighbor cut a rounded bullet shaped nose cone and the engine throat out of the stainless rod on his lathe, bent the coat hangers to form an undercarriage for the rocket, installed the wheels, taped the wheel assembly to the tube and bent the hangers in such a position that the rocket tracked straight and true when lightly pushed.   Next was a trip to Owens Pharmacy (Judy Owens dads’ place) to buy several bottles of salt pitre (potassium nitrate) and a stop at Safeway for some confectioners powdered sugar for the fuel. I mixed the Potassium nitrate smoke 68  
Ted Grimes, cont. ingredients in my basement and filled the rocket tube full of fuel. Little did I realize that my 30” long rocket tube held way, way too much fuel for the short distance I was planning for my test run.   That evening after dark I took the rocket car up to the Beacon Hill School south playfield for my test run. Placing the car at the east end of the playfield, I used several matches to get the fuel lit then ran between the portables to observe the run from a safe distance. The rocket presented a perfect picture sitting on the blacktop with a nice 6 inch long tapered yellowish flame exiting the rear of the vehicle and producing a huge cloud of dark smoke. The only thing wrong with the picture was that the car was just sitting there making a loud whooshing sound but not moving an inch. After a minute or so porch lights came on across the street and the residents noticed the huge smoke cloud and assumed the school was on fire. I heard the fire truck sirens in the distance coming closer in a hurry and took one last look at my rocket car before deciding it was time to beat feet and make a hasty exit. Much to my surprise, the rocket was nowhere to be found   I made a quick dash down the block to Owens Pharmacy where I stayed at the magazine rack for about a half hour till I thought the coast was clear then headed back home for the evening.   Bright and early the next morning I headed back to Beacon Hill Elementary to retrieve my rocket car. I searched the western fence line and couldn’t find the car so I went back to the launch point where I noticed a long, straight scorch mark down the asphalt. Sighting down the scorch mark, I followed it toward the fence again not seeing my rocket. Then I noticed the rocket undercarriage wrapped around the chain link fence about two feet off the ground – but still no rocket.   Over the top, on to 1-5? 69  
Ted Grimes, cont. Across the street was a gas station so I headed there figuring the rocket was laying on the ground next to the metal back of the stations’ lube bay. The only thing there was a hole in the thick sheet metal the diameter of my rocket. Around the front of the station a foot or so higher than the hole in the back was a broken pane of glass in the rollup door. My rocket was gaining altitude as it went through the gas station like a huge bullet.   Directly across Beacon Avenue was a Chevron gas station. Trying to look nonchalant, I inspected the face of that gas station. No evidence of any damage so my rocket was still climbing over the top of that station. I then inspected the face of the three story brick apartment house a block further downrange from the Chevron station and also found no damage. I was about 3 blocks away from the launch site and the rocket was still climbing. Further inspections for another 3 blocks revealed no trace of the rocket and at that point it was flying over the construction site of the I-5 freeway and down toward the Sears store off First avenue South For the next two days I combed the newspaper for any mention of an unknown rocket or missile found stuck in some object or building. Nothing. No trace of it. Not long after that our little group dismissed the idea of robbing a ferry boat as not being practical.   I went on to another project of helping the City fix the annual mudslide problem on Columbian Way S. between 14th Ave S and Airport Way by making sufficient nitroglycerine to blow the hill down once and for all so the City would only have to clean it up once instead of every winter. That project was also abandoned when I came very close to blowing up the entire city block that my house sat upon, but that is another story.   P.S. I somehow still have all my body parts.

I have been living in the greater Philadelphia area nearly all of the past 50 years, and for 30 years I’ve been practicing as a psychotherapist. In addition to maintaining a part-time clinical practice, I teach and supervise. I’ve been married to Wayne for 34 years, and have 3 children, 2 sons in SF area and daughter nearby. She had my first grandchild on 3/14! My interests include ballroom dancing, bird watching, gardening, playing piano and reading. My best to CHS – lots of good memories! 75   Judy (Owens) Smoot     I’m almost embarrassed to have my (commencement) speech at hand!  I honestly have done a few other things in the past 50 years… but currently I’m attacking some of the boxes of pictures and documents we inherited after my mother’s death, and these “treasures” are among the things I’ve encountered this week!

Meeting Today’s Challenge Today’s greatest challenge is peace. Since two men first got into an argument, the world has recoiled from feuds, revolutions, and wars. In years past these disturbances affected relatively few people. But now, with the fantastic arsenals at each country’s hands, an argument between two nations can utterly devastate this small planet. The past wars of this century have proved that conflict does not settle international problems. Now, when the world is bathed in turmoil, is the time when peace is needed most. Our nation’s liberty and the world’s freedom must be protected before sounds of warfare conclude forever any international relations. There are many causes of conflict between individuals, but perhaps the greatest cause is a basic lack of understanding between peoples of different races, creeds, and colors. Man is a suspicious animal. Anything he cannot understand he mistrusts. This mistrust is manifested in prejudice; behavior that treats people not as individuals, but rather as classified members of a group. Conduct such as this denies the individuals of their basic human individuality and dignity, two fundamental precepts in the democratic philosophy. People must live together, and this is possible only with understanding between individuals, cultural groups, and nations. ClevelandJournal5/15/64 Judy (Owens) Smoot, cont. 76   What can each of us do to prevent further discord between people of our nation and others? Education is the surest means of preventing prejudice. Our children must be taught that each person is an individual, with a basic human dignity inviolable in a democratic society. If people can learn to be objective in their beliefs, a major step toward peace will have been taken. Science, too, can help further peace. New and better means of communications are being explored. Soon satellites will transfer radio, television and telephone signals across the oceans to the seven continents. Space age technology will also help raise the standard of living among peoples all over the world, alleviating starvation, disease, and depression as factors of discontent. Peace is our problem, yours and mine. Tomorrow’s world is here today. We are tomorrow’s leaders and we must accept today’s tremendous challenge. Our generation can advance the cause of peace by learning to understand our neighbors. Each of us has the power in his hand to contribute to the solution of this problem, or to help turn this planet into a smoking, pockmarked cinder in space. It’s the mere difference between shaking hands and pushing a button that can spell the future of our generation and those following. What lies ahead is beyond our imaginations. With peace, these dreams can be attained. With our efforts, yours and mine, they will be attained. Judy Owens CHS class of ’64 commencement remarks
“I've always been thankful that I attended Maple, Asa Mercer, and Cleveland High School.  Many times I've told people about the wonderful ethnic diversity we had and that together we got along.  I know it greatly influenced my life.  I've always been interested in different cultures and have appreciated and valued their uniqueness.” “At Asa Mercer, I (like many other girls) loved Senor Nogales.  He was so cute.  I remember writing letters in Spanish inviting people to the Seattle World's Fair.  Many tears were shed the last day of junior high as I said my farewells to friends who were heading off to Franklin.” Mary 7/28/13 Mary (Schenkenberger) Taylor Mary in the ‘58 Maple sixth grade class photo “Remember the fantastic talent shows at Cleveland?  Carmen, your Tahitian dancing was awesome!  Can you still move those hips?  In the early 70's, I was living in Charlotte, North Carolina.  A news program was featuring a Seattle high school that had created a talent show to welcome students that were going to be bused to their school.  They were showing what diversity could offer.  That school was Cleveland.  I was so proud of my alma mater!” 77

Bottom row: Grandchildren—William, Ruth, Sula (Sulamita), Lucille Relationship: Frank Taylor and I will be celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary this month. Living: We’ve spent 30 of those years living in Minnesota Family: Had the privilege of raising two wonderful children (Will and Anne) and now have four delightful grandchildren (Ruth, William, Sula and Lucille.) 78   Mary (Schenkenberger) Taylor, cont. Work: During the majority of the past 50 years, I’ve been a career volunteer, much within the Presbyterian church. There have been many rewarding experiences. Passions of mine have been teaching Tai Chi Chih and doing Qigong healing. Both are a joy and are amazing! My husband and I are beginning a new venture. We’ve done much traveling throughout the world and now we hope to trailer travel on many of the scenic byways throughout the country. There is so much beauty to see and enjoy. Life is good!!
There is an old Chinese saying that says “A journey starts with our first step…” – for me it began from Beacon Hill to Asa Mercer and finally Cleveland High school. 79   Alison W. Sing Military: With the draft looming, I was given the opportunity in 1966 to don our nation’s military uniform for eight and half years. My unit was on alert in March 1968 for Vietnam but I was never sent in “harm’s way.” To this day, serving our nation has been the proudest moments of my life. Education: After graduating from the University of Washington in 1971, the job prospects for a language major were far and few. My journey took an interesting turn when I volunteered to work with a group of local Japanese churches in founding the first Asian bilingual/bicultural Employment Center in the NW. This led to my working for the
Washington State Employment Security Department’s employment programs spanning King-Snohomish counties. Ultimately, this led to my 25 year career with Snohomish County, from 1998 until I retired in 2005. As the county’s Senior Economic Development Officer, I traveled with the Executive to Taiwan, China, South Korea and Japan. Family: I have been blessed in my life with two fantastic daughters from my first marriage and two wonderful “grandsons” from my current wife “the love of my life” of nearly thirty years to cherish. In my retirement, I remain active with the sole purpose of returning everything I have learned during my journey to the next generation. I tell friends that I continue to travel down the road on my bicycle with two huge training wheels. I am still waiting for my final assignment from my lord, Jesus Christ. So, the journey continues …….. 80   Alison W. Sing, cont. Alison & Claudia Taken by Yuen Lui in 1991 – Kristina, my wife, Claudia and youngest daughter, Victoria.
Pool: No Brawn Required I was looking at a photo posted by Phil Acosta of the old Ben Paris Restaurant and this triggered for me the fond memories of shooting pool during my junior and senior high school years. We lived on Beacon Hill and our neighbors, the Yuen Lui family, (yes, the photography studio folks) had a pool table installed in their basement Rec Room. I learn to shoot pool or more reverently 14.1 or straight pool on many late evenings. The game of straight pool (14.1) requires each player to designate the pocket before playing the cue ball. This requires a high level of technical skill. My two favorite pool experts were Willie Masconi (pocket billiards) and Willie Hoppe (the consummate billiards expert). Mr. Masconi was the technical expert for the movie, The Hustler that featured Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason, as Fats Domino. The tricky pool shots were actually executed by Mr. Masconi behind the scenes on behalf of Paul Newman. When I entered high school, I was barely 5’ tall and this was the perfect sport for someone like me. It did not take brawn to play this game. Concentration, intellect and a delicate stroke was what you needed to succeed. This became my passion reading everything about this national pastime. My twin brother, Allen gave me a beautiful Maple pool cue that he bought me for $5. I finally replaced this with a fancy and expensive cue. I have never owned a pool table; so I take my pool cues with me on vacation and shoot pool at my favorite vacation hangout by myself. I usually blow $50-$60 doing this. So relaxing and fun. 81   Alison W. Sing, cont. How big I was just before entering high school in the late 50s.
82   Alison W. Sing, cont. I worked briefly for the Bon Marche in Men’s Furnishing and during my breaks, I would wander down to the basement of the Ben Paris Restaurant to watch the old timers and budding hustlers shoot pool. I remember seeing my first billiards and snooker tables for the first time. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the old pool hall dives; a perfect location for another remake of the “Hustler” Seattle style. Next to my lovely wife, Claudia, this is my second love.   Alison Sing ‘64

We caught the traveling bug about 11 years ago, and usually take 1 international trip a year. In 2002 I entered the Master Gardener Program, and was the trainer for 3 of those years. Now I am currently President of the Snohomish County Master Gardener Foundation. Ken became a Master gardener in 2009 when he retired. We also try to attend many of our grandsons sports event
The more time that has passed, and now nearly 50 years, the prouder I have become to be a CHS alum. I am really proud when I read about the success of the CHS girls basketball teams and their winning State 3 of the last 4 years. Go Eagles! Girls did not play sports when we were there. 84   Diane Kero It seems that we learned so much about life at CHS although many of us had very little. Even the school, as it was, would probably qualify today as under- resourced. We did what we could with what we had and had fun despite the fact that we seldom won a football game. We didn’t even have a gym. I am not sure we noticed that we were different than the other Seattle high schools until later when we realized the advantages that others had, advantages they took for granted and thought were “normal.” In my first job out of law school, I felt pretty smart until I saw my first office, the one with a window facing south right toward Beacon Hill to remind me of where I started. I treasure at least some of those times at CHS, as tough as it was at times and certainly many of the people who have become lifelong friends. Wonderful people have come from the CHS class of 1964.
Employment: Pacific Northwest Bell for eight years. In 1987 I returned to the "working world" and was employed by First Interstate Bank and then transitioned into commercial real estate working as the Administrative Coordinator at The Norman Company and Marketing Services Manager for Trammell Crow Company. Prior to retiring in 2008, I spent four years at Downtown Seattle Association, assisting with political issues affecting downtown. 85   Ruth (Fjarlie) Alford
86   Ruth (Fjarlie) Alford, cont. I've been married to Bob Alford (Franklin, 1963) for 47+ years. We made our home in West Seattle, raised our daughters there in 1972 our first daughter was born and I became a stay-at- home mom. Our second daughter was born in 1976, and then moved to Redmond in 2004. On-going fun: We now enjoy spending our winters in Palm Springs we wake up to blue skies and sunshine every day. We have been blessed with three grandchildren and love our time with them. We enjoy fitness walking, biking, hiking and some tennis. We recently completed a walk across the state of Washington starting at Puget Sound and ending at the Idaho border outside of Tekoa. It took several years, but five of us persevered to the finish. As we got farther east in the state it always amazed us when we drove home to think we had walked that far. We have enjoyed many vacations on Maui, made several trips to California, visited many of the states and had a wonderful "retirement" vacation in Costa Rica." One unforgettable high school memory is being at West Seattle Stadium for a football game during the infamous Columbus Day Storm. I remember the score was close but the wind gusts kept getting stronger. Finally, the lights went out and the game was stopped, but those wind gusts in the creaky, old stadium were quite memorable. The game was rescheduled.

I met my wife in Texas and reared our family in her home State of Indiana. I retired from Lilly Pharma back in 2006 after a 30 year career. Since the kids and grandchildren live in Indiana, I decided I would stay instead of moving back west.
How can 300 words describe 50 years? I was lucky enough to be able to live in different parts of the US. I am happy to be back in the NW. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home Mom. 97   Martha (Chevara) Fisher     Family: Married to Rollie for 46 years.

Thank you Alison for working so hard to gather us together.
In July 1967, I married Don Swanson and we moved to San Antonio, Texas for Don’s job with 3M. One year in Texas was enough for me! We moved back to the Seattle area and soon after had our first child, and then our second less than a year later. I became a stay at home mom caring for our two daughters, Kelly and Tracy. Janet (Gordon) Swanson 98   After a few years, Don became fed up with the corporate world and we started a custom home building business. In 1979 he built us the first of several homes in Normandy Park and we have lived here for the past 37 years.   We spent most of our free time in the 1970s- 90s boating and skiing. We sailed for fun and also raced for many years. In the 1980s we traded in sailing for power boating and spent summers in the San Juan Islands. During the winter we enjoyed skiing on weekends with our girls. Our favorite ski vacations were the ones we took to Whistler Mountain in Canada and Mount Hood in Oregon.   Janet and Don

Jerry and I have lived on Vashon Island since 1977. When I met Jerry he was raising three children that were eight, six and two and đ years old….they became mine as well. We now have 4 wonderful grandchildren who are growing up too fast. 101   Pam (Berg) Hart     Projects: We’ve been remodeling a 1935 house on five acres that sits on a cliff looking back at Seattle. We bought it in 1984 and were concerned that we wouldn’t be able to afford it (at $85,500!) but are so glad we bit the bullet. All the rooms on the main floor have been gutted to the studs and rebuilt. We’ve done most of the work ourselves with the help of a neighbor who really knew what he was doing. With the new wrap around porch and deck and house painting this summer, we are done!
102   Pam (Berg) Hart, cont.     Fun: We love to travel and have been to Europe four times, mostly driving to visit friends we’ve met in our travels or to see my cousin in Ireland. We even made it to Iceland to visit a couple on the east side of the country where we stayed with them on a fjord in a small fishing village. What a beautiful country! We used to RV in Mexico and once drove all the way to Guatemala and Belize. Quilting is my passion. Until recently we kept about 16 chickens and think we will again when we are done traveling. Other than that, we garden and try to keep up with our black lab/mix. We feel so blessed to have mostly good health and we keep on keeping on. A quilt I'm working on.

After an initial career of 5 years in banking I decided my future did not lie in that industry. I took a job as an escrow assistant, became a licensed Escrow Officer and a Limited Practice Officer. I joined the Escrow Assn of Washington, became an officer and director, setting up and coordinating many annual conventions. 106   Sherian (Butler) Grimes     In working with our industry regulatory agencies I was appointed by the Governor to a 5 year term to the State Escrow Commission and later appointed as the escrow industry representative to the Limited Practice Board of the Washington State Supreme Court and served in that position for 8 years. My main function on the Board was to write the exams for new applicants and the answer key for the Board to grade the results. After several decades in escrow, I was offered a position with a title insurance company traveling and teaching a new escrow software to their branch offices. I loved the experience of flying every week to a new location. I would leave Seattle on Sunday and return home Friday. The new, clean rental car, fancy hotels and nice restaurants, all paid for by my employer, were an absolute joy. Add to that no dishes or housework, priceless!  
When my husband Ted retired from Boeing, we both took jobs as over- the-road team truck drivers to see the country while being paid to do so. I was proud of 5 years of no accidents nor moving violations, for which I earned the Companies’ Safe Driver Certification. For the most part, our love of travel made it not seem like a job, except while driving our 18 wheeler through snow and ice. I drove the night shift and would usually park the rig at about 4 am. When I awoke it was mid-day and my first question was “where are we and how far is it to a bathroom?” My hubby always knew where the next bathroom/rest area was and how many minutes to get there. What a talent he had. We traveled through all the contiguous 48 states and would schedule our days off at some part of the country that we wanted to visit. Since we owned our own truck, we did not have to stick to the Company designated routes. I especially enjoyed the pickups and deliveries when trucking by Albany, NY and St. Augustine, FL, both areas where family lived for us to visit.   Hobbies/interests: Of course, my favorite hobby is to travel. I love exploring new places. When we were younger we were boaters. For several years we moored the boat in Olympia and explored the South Sound. Then we moved the boat to Anacortes and traveled the San Juans and Canadian Gulf Islands. Our past work schedule never allowed for extended vacations but we have been to all 50 States, Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas so far. Now our retirement has opened the door to the rest of the world. We have replaced the boat with a 5th wheel trailer and “rough it” in the Idaho National Wilderness areas (we bring our own electricity) and several months in Arizona and Las Vegas. I look to resume golfing here when the weather gets better and plan on taking my golf clubs with me in the 5th wheel. 107   Sherian (Butler) Grimes, cont.    
As we celebrate our 50th class reunion, I have just celebrated my 40th wedding anniversary with my best friend. Jim and I are still working full time, I’ve worked with my orthopedic doctors for the last 20 years just not ready to retire. 108   Marsha (Squire) Eaton     We went to Washington DC and saw President Cleveland and he stated “The class of ‘64 was the best ever”. Eagles Rock!
I worked for Boeing Aerospace as a classified control document clerk for five years and another 38 years at the telephone company in various departments from the treasurer’s office to the marketing and Engineering Office. 109   Bev (Frazier) Durante     Family: I have three grown children and five grandchildren. I spend my retirement time playing with them.
Although I had to leave dear ole Cleveland just before graduation to return to my small North Carolina hometown, memories of my experiences with the class of 1964 are indelibly etched in my mind. Fifty years has gone by in a flash. But so very much has happened! 110   Brenda (Aldridge) Farr     I attended Western Carolina University for two years, got married, and had a son. I retired from the US Department of Agriculture at 50 years old with 28 years of service as an Administrative and Program Assistant.
111   Brenda (Aldridge) Farr, cont.     During those years, I was fortunate to travel to many countries around the world. Going into China soon after it began to accept foreign visitors was the most interesting, especially visiting communes and country schools. I also traveled to Hong Kong, Spain, England, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cost Rica and several of the Caribbean Islands. It was also a real treat to see most of our United States. I subbed at school for several years. I love it, but also knew it was good that I did not become that high school English teacher, as I had once planned! I was also a Family Resource Center Director, teaching parenting classes and leading parent-child activities, etc. Many times I have benefited from being a F.L.O.P.S. member in Mrs. Gardner’s LA Class! I became involved in converting a former school into a cultural arts center focused on preserving our Appalachian Heritage through the arts, music and dance. It is now rated as one of the top such places in the southeast. Until recently, I volunteered in my son’s store, enjoying meeting the tourists, locals, and old friends coming back to visit. My husband is deceased, but soon after his death a new male came into my life! He is my first and only grandchild, a little boy with curly red hair, now eight years old. The past fifty years has been full of surprises, heartaches, and much joy!
Retired: Optometry Assistant Spouse: Mike Children: Matthew, 47, Shelene, 44 Grandchildren: Luke, 20, Jonas, 14, Marcus, 11 112   Laurel (Laurie Emler) Claggett     Retirement certainly hasn’t slowed Mike and me down. When we are not traveling state to state in our motorhome or cruising the ocean blue, you will find us restoring and showing classic cars, tripping the light fantastic at dancing lessons and always making new friends. We enjoy spending our free time together and remaining active. So much, so, that I recently began taking golf lessons to share in one of Mike’s favorite pastimes.
Had many careers since high school including: working on and off for Boeing; owning my own B2B graphic design company; director of advertising and marketing for a company with offices in Washington and Alaska. Public relations specialist for Boeing when they were vying for the Joint Strike fighter program until taking early retirement. 113   Nancy (Casey) Tibeau     Family: Mother of two beautiful daughters and 3 grandsons. Pastime activities: I like to camp, garden and cook, And most of all hang with my family and friends. Employment: Currently a Realtor with Keller Williams Puget Sound in Federal Way.
I’m now working for the “Marble Man.” If you ever go to the Puyallup Fair and see the man who sells marbles with names on them you’ve seen my work. I put the names on the marbles (At least you can’t think I’ve lost my marbles!) 114   Sarah Ann (McCulloch) Wilds     Employment: After graduation, I worked for Value- Mart and then for Boeing. Relationship: In October, 1965, married Alton J. Wilds, III. He had two kids, Lanette (who was 6) and Alton IV (who was 4). That was good because it turned out I could never have kids. We lived in Idaho for a few months, then moved to Colorado near Al’s grandmother. In 1967, we moved back to Washington and Al went to work for Boeing. He worked there until his first stroke in 1997 which ended his ability to work. In 2000, he had a second stroke and then in 2004 his third stroke killed him. In the meantime, we had four grandkids and now have eight great-grandkids. See you at the get-together.
I have been an LPN before I married and after my three children were in school all day; I returned to school for an associated degree in Nursing. Worked at St. Joseph Hospital for 21 years as an RNC (as a Registered Nurse, Certified) then retired in 2011. 115   Vivian (Menzel) Ewing     My husband became a Village Mission Pastor and we have lived in Skykomish and other places where he pastored. We traveled by cruising with Holland America to the Mediterranean, South America and Pacific Rim Countries. Seeing places I never thought I would see personally.
The family loves to fish and hunt together. It is an annual thing to go hunting in Montana and Washington State. More for a family get together. 116   Valerie E. (Menzel) Peters
Life has been good and busy for me over the last 50 years. My husband and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary. We have two daughters and four grandchildren. Our daughters and their families live in the Seattle/Sammamish area so we feel fortunate to have them close to us. 117   Shirley (Morelli) Reed     I taught school for 23 years and retired from the Issaquah School District. Since my retirement we have been traveling even more often and enjoying the many cultures and countries of the world. Favorite place – Cannon Beach with our family and grandchildren!
Doug Fast ClevelandJournal10/25/64 118   After Cleveland High I attended the Burnley School of Professional Art, then at the end of 1967 I went to work in the Jay Jacobs display department for a year. In 1968 I spent a short time working at the Seattle Opera in the scenery department before starting the Splendid sign Company.
Most of the sign work I did was for advertising agencies which is how I met Terry Heckler and his business partner Gordon Bowker (one of the original owners of Starbucks). Heckler/Bowker held the K2 Ski advertising account and they hired me to paint the "CHEW K2" barn on Highway 2 just outside of Sultan for a K2 poster. It eventually led to me being hired by Heckler/Bowker as a designer in January 1973. In my 34 year history with the company I managed to design over 230 logos which include; Starbucks, Panera Bread, Zillow, Ivar's Pier 54 and the Salmon House, Cutter's Bayhouse, and the ski resorts Beaver Creek, and Arapahoe Basin, PF Flyer shoes, the new Fran's Chocolates, and Qdoba to name some of the ones known around here. As far as adventures in the past, my memories of riding freight trains from Seattle to NYC, and from Seattle to LA in the 70's are still fresh in my mind, and I have great memories of the numerous visits to the Haight-Ashbury in 1966 to1967. I was a transfer to Cleveland in the middle of my junior year, and I consider myself lucky to have gone Cleveland High.  119   Doug Fast, cont.     As Doug Fast explains: “I did the green “full siren” logo with a stronger, simpler, read for reproduction. The SBUX type was HAND DRAWN and based on the typeface, Franklin Gothic (this was pre-computer, folks) and had to be drawn so it bent well, around the circle. We submitted the logo to Howard, one with a red color and one in a green color. He picked the green color option”.
Disabled Vietnam veteran served as a combat medic with the 1st Infantry Division USA. Retired as a Department of Defense civilian with 28 years combined service in 2004. Currently, serving as Fire Commissioner, Lacey Fire District 3 in Lacey, WA Married to Marion the past 42 years.

God has blessed me throughout my life, I was married to my wife (an incredible woman) for almost 44 years. I lost her to ovarian cancer in November 2012. I have three amazing children and 5 amazing grandchildren. 121   John Veleber    
I joined the Air Force when I turned 18. I spent one year in Korea and then played baseball for the Air Force in Europe for three years. After the Service, I went to college in Florida. I lived in Georgia and Virginia also. 122   Larry W. Smalley (aka Larry Baird)     I am a retired police officer. I retired at age 55. I have been with my wife for 26 years. I lived in Seattle for a total of 45 years. In 2005 we moved outside of Gig Harbor, Washington where we live on a small lake. I play golf (at one time my handicap was an 8). I fish and enjoy the grandkids. We have eight ranging in age from 22 to 6. Two of my grandsons are teaching me how to be a cowboy. I can ride and rope and last I roped my first moving steer while riding a horse. I was on our homeowner’s Board of Directors for four years, and president for two of those four. My wife, Tanya, is a semi-retired attorney and we travel quite a bit – mostly going state to state to watch the grandkids rodeo. I am enjoying life and having a blast.
Our 50th reunion finds me happily and comfortably retired from the University of Alaska where I was the Claims Manager for the Statewide System. It was a very diverse and interesting job. I lived in various places but primarily in Washington and Alaska. 123   Laura M. (Rice) Jackson     I was happily married to Bob Jackson for 37 years before his death in 2006, just before my planned retirement. I have three adult children, Laura (and her husband, TC), Teresa and Patrick who live throughout the country. I have three grandsons, Joseph, Casey and Tristan, who live in Alaska and ride bulls and broncos in rodeo. I have enjoyed traveling various places through the world, Mexico, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and Europe. I have also enjoyed seeing the US on business and pleasure. I now enjoy spending time with family and friends, being active in my church and political activities and just being in my peaceful home. I look forward to seeing you all at our reunion.
I have two sons, one lives in Seattle with his wife and 2 puppies. My other son is a teacher and program director and lives in Indonesia. 124   Patricia (Pat Grill) Flowers     Employment: I am retired after teaching Elementary students for 28 years and ended my career as an Elementary Principal in the Seattle Schools. Volunteering: I am a CASA (Court Approved Special Advocate) volunteer and work to reunite children who have been removed from their homes with their families. Fun & Travel: I love to travel and have been to Paris, Rome, Sydney, Australia, and Buenos Aires to name a few of my favorites. I took up running in my forties and have run 5 marathons including New York and Sydney. I’ve cut back and my running but do Zumba (I’m an instructor) and body pump every day. I love to read and make jewelry. Though I lived east of Kent for many years; I, now live on the west side of Queen Anne with my husband. I enjoy a good glass of wine and a beautiful sunset.
Memories of my time at Cleveland: Band, especially pep band when we beat Garfield the best team in basketball for the last game of the season. Then the music teacher changed to all male Jazz band – what was that all about? End of Chemistry class when Kathy Kluper came running up to the room to tell me President Kennedy had been shot. Walking Dawson Hill with books and clarinet for Grade School and High School. No wonder I like to hike now. 125   Pamela (Robison) Braaten     Post Cleveland: Graduated from UW and went to work in Hotel Management for Westin. Moved to Portland and Chicago. Returned to Seattle to be on the opening team for the Park Hilton and Madison. Graduated from a Master’s Program in Applied Behavioral Sciences and worked in Hospital Management at UWMC, Highline/Riverton and Harborview. Finally retired. Met my husband at a party on Vashon. My husband, our dogs and I now move between Tucson, Arizona and Vashon Island. We just bought a motor home and plan to travel across the country on our way to Tucson. Love hiking, kayaking, and lately just sitting around with friends and family.
Memories: Of us trying sooo hard in football – and the joy of winning the last two games (I can still hear the sound of our line moving the giant Garfield defender back). 126   Robert Glenn Brooks     The fun of journalism class – another great life lesson in teamwork. Ms. Raine making us think about bigger things than ourselves. All of the good natured arguing in various classes. And mostly, how nice everyone seemed to be to each other (how unlike the modern picture of high school!) Perhaps at the reunion I will expose the truth about the painful grade school crush episode.
I grew up in the Columbia Ridge area with Tom Steinbach, Bill Landry, Bob Jurcan, Pamela Robison, Al Keene, Mary Schenkenberger, Bobbi Weirich, Dennis Chin, Gary Pettit and many others. Many of us trudged down Dawson Hill everyday to Maple School. After school we played in the fields under the power lines every night until our Dads or Moms started calling us home for dinner. It was a great place to live and the friendships we built lasted a lifetime. 127   Don Deschenes     Since grade school my greatest accomplishments in life were: 1.  Marrying my wife of 46 years Cathy Carlson Deschenes and 2.  The birth of my sons Scott and Dave.
The path I travelled to accomplish the forgoing was not always straight. Looming on the horizon after graduation was the Vietnam War and compulsory military service. Little did all of us know when we graduated how it would affect our lives? I attended Shoreline Community College on a basketball scholarship and eventually was drafted. I remember my Trig teacher telling us, “You’re all a bunch of draft dodgers and I am going to put you were you belong, Vietnam!”. He accomplished his goal. I landed in Vietnam in the middle of the Tet Offensive on my way to Thailand. I was assigned to a transportation company and we hauled tons and tons of land mines to NKP on the Mekong river. After returning home I married Cathy and finished school at Seattle U. with a degree in accounting. I was more motivated and usually took 20 hours per quarter while working part-time at Sears. My last quarter I took 25 hours and received straight A’s. After graduation I worked for Weyerhaeuser in Federal way for five years and then went to work for the Japanese in Wrangell, Alaska for 7 years and then moved back to Washington. I worked for Mayr Bros. Logging in Hoquiam and then Tubafor Mill in Morton which I retired from in 2012. My sons were both great baseball players and I coached them from Little League all the way to Senior Babe Ruth. David played at WSU and Pacific. I also coached Don Marbut who is the head coach at WSU now. Currently, we live in Lacey at Hawks Prairie Golf course on the Woods Course (Hole #9). I play golf every morning with my neighbors and it reminds me of many years ago playing underneath the power lines with my old friends. 128   Don Deschenes, cont.    
Fond Memories: Cruising the Seward Park Loop, Alki, the Barrel, and Dag’s in my brother’s 1964 Corvette Stingray and my 1957 Chev plus a few great races in the tubes (floating bridge tunnels), on Airport Way and behind Sick’s Seattle Stadium!!! 129   Vince Responte     Family: Donald, PhD Bio-Medical Engineering Rice University Houston Texas.

“I remember when Vince Responte showed up a ‘64 Corvette coupe. It was so beautiful driving through Dags – with the headlights on and their covers closed lighting up the inside of the grill – a very cool look.” Ted Leonhardt “Mr. Fujii introduced me to Jazz, cartooning, and how to make your way in life as a creative. I’ve always been grateful. He steered me to The Burnley School of Professional Art, along with Doug Fast. That great little school was bubbling with talent and energy. Here Frank is showing students ‘how to’ just like he did for us back then.” John Lok, Seattle Times 130   I've been enjoying myself assembling this Scrapbook for the last couple of years. It's been a bit like time travel giving me another chance to look at my past. I went to Maple Elementary and Asa Mercer along with many of you. In the second grade our teacher, I think it was Mrs. Hayes, praised my drawing of Columbus’ ships. I remember my pride vividly and I now think of that moment as the start of my career.
131   Ted Leonhardt, cont.     I married Judy Ownby, also a Cleveland grad, in 1967. Our son Eric was born in 1969. Here we are in 1980 with my parents Ted and Betty. Sadly, Judy passed away in 2011. Eric is now a professor at Western Washington University and has two sons of his own.   In 1987 I married Carolyn Coldewey and helped her raise her two sons Chris and Devin. Chris has two sons of his own now and works with the UN and The Gates Foundation. Devin is a tech reporter for NBC News.   Carolyn and I founded The Leonhardt Group, a brand design agency. We sold it in 1999 then moved to Europe where I helped the new owner assemble a group of formerly independent design agencies under the Fitch banner.   Since then I’ve consulted with design agencies in the US and UK. My first book was released this January. I teach negotiation skills for creatives online through CreativeLIVE and in person at Makerhaus and the School of Visual concepts.
For my recent birthday, I received poems from two different friends. One was, “Getting older, I’m much better at watching rain. I skip counting individual drops in favor of the general feeling of rain” (Harrison and Kooser). The other was by Francis Bacon, “We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.”   132   Karen (Tweet) Tvedt    
133   Karen (Tweet) Tvedt, cont.     I have lived my life intensely, getting married right out of high school, becoming a mother at 19, and starting my own child care business a few years later. This set me on the path to a career in early care and education which led to public administration in Olympia and Washington DC, and to a Ph.D. in Social Work and Social Research in 2009. More recently, my life has come full circle as I returned to caregiving (for my elderly parents and grandchildren) while working part-time as a consultant for the federal government and volunteering with the League of Women Voters and other organizations on issues related to children and social justice. As time passes, I find myself wanting to be less busy, becoming more keenly aware of the beauty and fragility of life and the interrelatedness of all things. On a day to day basis, I enjoy meditating, writing, gardening, working out, and spending time with family. In April, I spent 12 days in silent retreat in Santa Fe. For the future, I hope to travel to new places and to do more such retreats.
Memories of CHS: The great girlfriends Marcia, Toby, Connie, Judy and Nancy – we still share lots of laughs on trips and toasts at Happy Hours. Roll room with Kip Tokuda (his family bought our family house on Beacon Hill), Jack Tubbs and Mr. Phelan (found out after a short time that his parents knew my parents), Mrs. Pangborn and being in her class the day that Kennedy was shot, girls not being able to wear jeans to school and of course I hated PE class! Thankfully girls have lots more sports choices in school now. 134   Cheri (Wandell)Watson

I love to cook, garden, play golf, and hope to do some more exploring as a new RV’r. 135   Cheri (Wandell)Watson, cont.

The Walking Man of Murphys   Hi everyone, first of all I want to thank all the people of the Mother Lode and all the people from around this great country who have supported me in my walking for Operation Mend. I started this journey back in Sept. 22 of 2008 for Operation Mend and I am amazed at the support I have received. Once again thank you for all your support. Can you believe this, here is one old Marine Vietnam Veteran walking for a cause to help our men and women of today serving and supporting this great country, and I have received checks from as far away the East Coast in support of Operation Mend. So I want to let everyone know that I was asked to walk in the 4th of July parade in Arnold which will be on Saturday July 5th because of my walking for Operation Mend and on that day while walking in the parade I will walk my 6000 mile. That will give me 1000 miles a year. I really never thought I would walk this far and I would not have if it wasn't for all people who have supported me. I can't stop now. Boots on the ground for our troops coming back from the war we are now in for these young men and women are the future of this great country. If anyone wants to see how great Operation Mend is and what they do with the donations they receive please go to Operation Mend .com. When you do you will see why I am so serious about their cause and how they help our troops who come back from the war." God Bless America                    Ric, USMC  64 -68 139   Ric Ryan

  • 1. 1   Scrapbook Cleveland High School Seattle, Class of 1964, 50th Reunion, August 9, 2014 PhotosbyBenjaminBenschneiderforMahlum Reunion Edition
  • 2. Scrapbook This Scrapbook is incomplete and very casual. It includes all the photos and memories sent to and collected by Kathy (Blackburn) Reed, Alison Sing and I over the last couple of years. The book was inspired by Alison’s effort to connect our class through Facebook and a few photos I took in 1957 at Maple School. You’ll see as you flip through these pages that the book is literally a scrapbook: a collection of notes and memories from personal collections. It’s intended to be random, fun and approachable. I’ve enjoyed putting it together. Most of all, I’ve enjoyed the memories that, inspired by your contributions, came flooding back and gave me another chance to experience growing up and going through school with all of you. It’s not complete. I hope that the book as it is will inspire you to send me additional stories and photos. I’ll create an updated addition after this reunion with the material I receive. ted@tedleonhardt.com 2   Cleveland High School Seattle, Class of 1964, 50th Reunion, August 9, 2014

  • 37. Mrs. Helene Yorozu 4/24/13 Thanks to Val Van Norman Class of ‘63 for the memories John S. Brown Helene Yorozu  was included in the 6th grade Maple combined class photo because she had a few 6th graders in with her regular 5th grade class.  Lucky them.  I could go on for probably hours just about her.  She was my all time favorite teacher as she was for probably 99% of all kids she taught.  I was fortunate to have her for her very first public school class she ever taught.  Her maiden name was Miss Tsutsumoto.  She married Art Yorozu in early 56 and invited all us students to the wedding.  Lots of us went.  A large group of that first class kept in touch with her, visiting her home from time to time and were also invited to her retirement party years later as a big surprise.  We gathered at her home in the Seward Park highlands for a 5th grade 50th anniversary party in about 2004.  Of the 37 members of that class, more than 25 came.  Others would have but were too far away to be able to.  A year or two later, She and Art held a 50th wedding anniversary celebration at the top of the Columbia Towers in downtown Seattle.  I, along with a few other former 5th grade classmates, were honored to be invitees.  First time I was an attendee at both the wedding and the 50th anniversary celebration of that wedding. A side note to all this.  In high school,  one of my very favorite teachers was John S. Brown.  He was an excellent teacher, very funny and very good with young teens.  When Helene graduated from the U of W she "cadetted" under Mr. Brown before being sent out on her own at Maple School in 55.  It was a sad day, one of my very saddest personal days, when I got a call from Art that Helene had passed on.  A large group of us "5th graders" attended Helene's funeral and the party afterward, to celebrate Helene's life thrown by her husband Art, at the South China Restaurant in the Newport Hills shopping center.    Thanks for stirring up such wonderful memories. 7/28/13 “I loved  Mrs. Yorozu and was fortunate to have her as a teacher for two years.  I remember making beautiful Japanese fish kites.  Also, I'd bike to her home, which seemed like a really long ride.  There she taught me basic Japanese flower arranging.” Mary Schenkenberger Facebook,2010 37

  • 55. Blessed with a half century of life’s experiences since high school. 2013 The shades would be drawn and we would put our head on our desk and close our eyes. The teacher had better not see an eye in the crowd. Out of fear I kept my eyes shut tight waiting for rest time to end so I could relax. Bob Supino First grade was at St. George’s grade school. I have some not so pleasant memories of my time there. By the end of the school year I was traumatized and begged my parents to let me go back to Maple, which they finally agreed to. I have no memories of second grade or of the teacher. The class moved on to third grade dragging me with it. Third grade I do remember. The teacher, I believe Mrs. Nielsen, was strict. One time she misunderstood me and thought I was contradicting her. She slapped me, but not hard. I took it like a man. She was a good teacher as most teachers were in that era. I think she was the teacher that would treat us to her chalk art, although it may have been the second grade teacher or a fourth grade teacher. It was fascinating watching her turn blackboard and chalk into a scene. Academically, except for arithmetic, school was a struggle for me from third grade on. I could memorize twenty spelling words for the weekly test and forget them an hour later. Reading was slow and writing was a monumental task. However, I did advance to fourth grade. My first year at Maple Grade School was in kindergarten. I remember finger painting, which I enjoyed, and playing house in the back of the classroom. I also remember rest time. 55  
  • 56. Bob Supino, cont. In fourth grade we had three different teachers, all women and all pretty and all good teachers. The first teacher seemed to balloon up and had to leave as did the second teacher. We hated to see each leave and knew that the replacement could not be as good. But each replacement was as good and fourth grade was pleasant outside of my academic struggles. In fifth grade we had a young pretty teacher who thought that I was somewhat of a trouble maker who needed guidance. I being a trouble maker was a false perception. When there was general misbehavior I seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She sent me to the principal’s office twice. The second time I got a swat on the butt. I was more upset at the injustice of it than in the swat - I did not blame her. I believe the teacher’s name was something like Miss Denotty. My favorite color was red. I asked her what her favorite color was and she said blue. From then on my favorite color was and is blue. I believe she left teaching. I really did like her and she was very pretty. I sat near the back of the fifth grade class. A pretty little girl sat in front of me. She was asking what I was going to be when I grew up. She then said that she was going to marry me. I don’t think I said much after that trying to stay out of trouble of all sorts. Fifth grade passed and we were ready to be the big sixth graders on campus. There were two sixth grade teachers I remember, Mr. Trimm and Mr. Dwayne. The talk was that Mr. Trimm was the cool teacher most everyone wanted and Mr. Dwayne was the hard nose task master. We were assigned Mr. Dwayne. By the end of the year we were thankful for having him. He commanded respect, was a good teacher and was fair. He was the first male teacher I had and we all liked him. World are you listening? Oh well, at least I can hear me. 1977 56  
  • 57. Bob Supino, cont. My best friend at the time who I knew from when I was three or four years old lived across the alley from me. For a time in the sixth grade on the playing field he would chase the girls and kiss them. I told him that I would like to do that and he tried to convince me to go ahead. I was scared. What if the girl kissed me back? At that age girls could run just as fast as boys. What if I could not outrun one of them and they chased me down and did me bodily harm? I left such play to the experts. General remembrances of grade school are earthquake and a-bomb drills. For earthquakes we would get under our desk. For a-bombs we would lay on the floor on our stomach under the windows with our head towards the windows. The boys would cover their heads with their coats and girls would cover their legs. It seemed strange that the girls did not also cover their heads but I guess each was to cover their most important assets. Sixth grade was coming to an end and my time at Maple to a close. I had memories of St. Valentine’s Day and Halloween parties and play time. I spent almost half my life at Maple Grade School with the same kids. I did not want to see it end. I did not like the idea of growing up. Looking back I think it was a special time in a special place during a special era. Asa Mercer Junior High School was the next stop in my academic life. It was only two blocks from my home instead of the mile I walked to Maple. Now teachers were specialized in their subject. Each subject was in a different room with a different teacher. Most of junior high school is a blank to me. I only remember a few of the teachers but made new acquaintances. Academically I was doing very poorly. I pretty much failed the seventh grade and was let in the eight on a trial basis where I did better particularly in math and science. By the eighth grade I was enjoying Asa Mercer and looking forward to the My next door girl friend, Fancy. She liked me better than the good looking boy across the alley. At least that is what she told me in 1951. 57  
  • 58. Mr. Brown and Roost photos Aquila ’63 Bob Supino, cont. ninth grade. My friends from the neighborhood and I were called into the office. The world was about to fall in on me. We were told that the school boundaries for the ninth grade were redrawn and we would have to attend Cleveland High School the next year. Maple Grade School and Cleveland High School were three short city blocks apart. Between them were two variety stores selling candy and food to the school kids. The name of the store nearest Maple I do not recall. The other store was the Eagle’s Roost. While in grade school, the store nearest Maple we could go into before and after school. We were told never to go into the Eagle’s Roost. It was supposedly filled with big, mean, ugly high school kids who would knuckle your head as easily as look at you. It was scary. Now after only two years in junior high school, instead of being the big fish at Asa Mercer, we were going to be the small fry at Cleveland with those scary kids. I was very depressed. I remember little of the ninth grade. One teacher I remember was Mr. Brown. He was a little unorthodox and admired for it. That is except by me. I was depressed being there and not impressed with Mr. Brown. My not being impressed had little effect on the world situation but a great effect on me. Within my first week at Cleveland he ordered me outside and gave me a lecture. I have no idea what it was about. I certainly would not have said much being in a state of semi-shock. Maybe I did not give the proper admiration expected. I struggled and made it through his class whatever that class was. I maybe even liked him by the end of the semester. Another teacher I remember in the ninth grade is one maybe most kids did not like, but I did. I believe his name was Mr. Holt and he taught math. He was old school. Nonsense was not a personal attribute that he would tolerate. My ninth grade may have been his last year of teaching. The class was on the top floor and the windows faced toward 58

On a warm day with the window part way open it was very pleasant being in the class feeling a warm breeze blow over me. It was also a math class, which was not a mental threat to me as my other classes were. Other teachers and classes I remember through high school are Mr. Englund who taught geometry, a subject I really liked; Mr. Edgerton who taught chemistry and whose Canadian accent added to the class; Mr. Mendenhall who taught Business and was old school; Mr. Corlett who taught calculus, another subject I really liked; Mr. Williams who taught biology; Mr. Langley who I think I had for history class; Mr. Devine who taught the dreaded Language Arts. Mr. Langley liked me. I must have spoken up in class on the subject matter. Mr. Devine knew my dad and I liked him. I think he was a better teacher for the dreaded Language Arts than the women teachers I had. Two teachers that gave me some of the most valuable training I needed a few years hence were Mr. Phelan and Mr. Wallrof. Forcing me down for pushups and yelling at me calling me a knucklehead prepared me for future non-voluntary employment.   Mr. Langley was a most interesting teacher. I believe it was he who told us that he cut his own hair. Many of us were amazed that someone could cut their own hair - his hair always looked good. I also think it was Mr. Langley who told us that when he had a cold his voice would get lower and he would have a good singing voice, which he demonstrated to us once. I tried it myself at home but it was not a positive experience for those around me. In Mr. Williams’ biology class we were paired up in two-boy or two-girl teams. There were an odd number of boys and an odd number of girls. I got paired with a girl. It made the class more enjoyable doing projects PhotosAquila‘62&’63 Mr. Englund Mr. Mendenhall Mr. Edgerton Mr. Langley Mr. Wallrof Mr. Williams Mr. Phalen Mr. Devine 59  
  • 60. Bob Supino (cont.) with a girl and I did well. My friends kidded me that the girl liked me. I liked her but I was not sure what that meant. The cute little girl in grade school that said she would marry me was now a cute high school girl. One would have to slosh through the back bayous of her mind to find any remnant of me. She was I believe a cheer leader at one time and on various committees and groups. I was deeply fixed in the invisible out crowd struggling to get through my classes and not wanting to grow up. Back then I wasn’t cool, a condition that stayed with me ever since. But I am living proof that the Lord blesses the uncool also. Unlike today, teachers back then were respectable and respected. I did not know the political beliefs of any teacher I had. They did not beat a drum or demand some kind of political correctness. There was a teacher I gladly did not have in my senior year that was ahead of her time. She was beating her drum of social values or lack of them. The taboo of telling pupils what to think instead of teaching them how to think was being broken. I thank all my teachers for giving what they had to give and being a part of my life. High school came to an end. Two neighborhood friends and I dressed up and went downtown as high school diploma carrying adults to see the world through different eyes. They turned out to be the same eyes we always had. The cold cruel world lay ahead. The next year I worked at the Post Office in downtown Seattle. I enjoyed the job and liked working downtown. A year later in 1965 I attended Highline Junior College. It was like high school without the structure. I could come and go as I pleased and chart my own course. There were even a few faces from Cleveland there. There was no out crowd to disappear into. It was the great equalizer. About the middle of my second year I was offered a job in the government. It was highly 60  
  • 61. Bob Supino (cont.) specialized in a field of work I would not normally have considered. After finishing my second year at Highline I was given eight weeks of highly technical training. At the end of the eight weeks I knew which end of a high powered rifle bullets went in and which end they came out. I was now an American fighting machine expecting to be sent to Washington DC to eradicate those elements taking away our freedoms and liberties. Instead I was sent to Korea. After twelve months I was sent back to the States. Having less than five months to serve I was discharged with full GI benefits. Three major events changed our world during our primary school years. The first for me started earlier. I have vivid memories of when I was three years old in the hospital. I could not walk and was weak. The doctors told my parents I had polio. I was occupying a single room in a crib like bed. At night I was scared of every little noise. After a few days, for entertainment I was placed at a table with another boy who was going to show me how to blow bubbles from a dish of soap through a straw. I was tied down to the chair I was in to keep me from falling out. I was also getting better with the strength returning to my legs. I tried to stand lifting the chair off the floor. That is the last I remember of being in the hospital. Today it is hard to imagine epidemic scares in any major American city. But then public areas would be closed such as Seward Park because it was thought that polio could be transmitted in the water or by close contact. In 1955 Dr. Salk discovered the vaccine for which he is known. The most dreaded epidemic childhood disease could now be prevented. Every child in America would get vaccinated as soon as possible. The doctors and nurses came to Maple Grade School with their vaccines and needles. We lined up to have our arm poked. I do not remember it well, but it seems to me they set up out of a van on the playfield between the main building and the portables. We got the first of three American fighting machine at rest, but vigilant. 1968 61

How could another country be first in space? Our pride and security were now threatened. In seventh grade I remember a teacher saying that for each of us in the class there was our counterpart in Russia and if we wanted to stay free we would have to do better than he did. That was the grade I almost failed. I figured my counterpart must be really dumb, so I didn’t worry. In 1963 I was in Mr. Corlett’s study class when someone came in telling us that the president had been shot. The next three days were unreal. The America we thought we knew had come to an end and a new less attractive America was born. We were far more politically astute about politics than kids are today. My parents voted Democrat and I would have also if I could have voted. I was pro Kennedy in 1960 but I disliked Johnson that dislike turning out to be well deserved. Except for space exploration the promise of America we were told of during our school years he turned into “Guns and Butter”. America got lost in war and welfare never finding its way out and losing at both. " I used up the GI Bill eventually getting a degree in physics from the U of W. Through school I worked part time at the Post Office in downtown Seattle. A good friend of mine from Cleveland, Walter Wong, also was working there part time while going to school. We pretty much did things together. I graduated into a very cold world. At that time someone had put up a sign in north Seattle asking the last person to leave Seattle to please turn out the lights. Boeing had just lain off 70,000 employees in the years previous. I got a job as a bench technician for a small electronics firm. I then applied to the federal government and got a job with the Navy in Bremerton doing acoustic testing on submarines. It paid a living salary and had a good Recent bride packing it in to the Pasayten Wilderness. 1977 62

Before having our child my wife and I had a wonderful time enjoying life together and doing a little traveling. While our child was growing up we had a wonderful time raising her. Any travel was within the country or to Canada. After our daughter left home we are having a wonderful time being together and doing some overseas travel again.

  • 67. Rocket man 2014 a ferry boat, board it like a pirate, take the cash and valuables from the passengers and drop back into their boat and disappear where the ferry would not be able to follow. The main obstacle would be how to stop the ferry in open water. Ted Grimes: My Model Rocket (I have not talked with these guys for years so I feel uncomfortable giving out their names) They engaged me to help out by having me fire a rocket across the bow of the ferry from a launch site at Alki with the announcement that the next shot would hit and sink the ferry (a bluff but the ferry captain wouldn’t know it) if it did not stop.   I decided to test fire a rocket first to get a feel for the project and make sure I could come close enough to the ferry to convince the captain to stop the boat. Since most of the good ingredients to make the fuel were on the “prohibited” list at Scientific Supply where they would not sell those ingredients to minors, I had to design a rocket that was accurate using a less than optimal fuel. An effective design of the rocket engine ‘throat’ would be critical. I also didn’t want the rocket to In my junior year at Cleveland a couple of my classmate friends thought it would be really cool to rob a ferry boat out in the middle of Elliot Bay. They thought it would be the perfect crime to stop 67

A trip down to Puget Sound Salvage on Fourth Avenue South yielded a 1.5” diameter stainless steel rocket tube and an 8” solid stainless steel rod the same diameter as the tube. A trip to the neighborhood hobby shop provided a set of 4 model airplane wheels. I added 2 metal coat hangers and some duct tape from the house to complete my parts list.   I had my next door neighbor cut a rounded bullet shaped nose cone and the engine throat out of the stainless rod on his lathe, bent the coat hangers to form an undercarriage for the rocket, installed the wheels, taped the wheel assembly to the tube and bent the hangers in such a position that the rocket tracked straight and true when lightly pushed.   Next was a trip to Owens Pharmacy (Judy Owens dads’ place) to buy several bottles of salt pitre (potassium nitrate) and a stop at Safeway for some confectioners powdered sugar for the fuel. I mixed the Potassium nitrate smoke 68  
  • 69. Ted Grimes, cont. ingredients in my basement and filled the rocket tube full of fuel. Little did I realize that my 30” long rocket tube held way, way too much fuel for the short distance I was planning for my test run.   That evening after dark I took the rocket car up to the Beacon Hill School south playfield for my test run. Placing the car at the east end of the playfield, I used several matches to get the fuel lit then ran between the portables to observe the run from a safe distance. The rocket presented a perfect picture sitting on the blacktop with a nice 6 inch long tapered yellowish flame exiting the rear of the vehicle and producing a huge cloud of dark smoke. The only thing wrong with the picture was that the car was just sitting there making a loud whooshing sound but not moving an inch. After a minute or so porch lights came on across the street and the residents noticed the huge smoke cloud and assumed the school was on fire. I heard the fire truck sirens in the distance coming closer in a hurry and took one last look at my rocket car before deciding it was time to beat feet and make a hasty exit. Much to my surprise, the rocket was nowhere to be found   I made a quick dash down the block to Owens Pharmacy where I stayed at the magazine rack for about a half hour till I thought the coast was clear then headed back home for the evening.   Bright and early the next morning I headed back to Beacon Hill Elementary to retrieve my rocket car. I searched the western fence line and couldn’t find the car so I went back to the launch point where I noticed a long, straight scorch mark down the asphalt. Sighting down the scorch mark, I followed it toward the fence again not seeing my rocket. Then I noticed the rocket undercarriage wrapped around the chain link fence about two feet off the ground – but still no rocket.   Over the top, on to 1-5? 69  
  • 70. Ted Grimes, cont. Across the street was a gas station so I headed there figuring the rocket was laying on the ground next to the metal back of the stations’ lube bay. The only thing there was a hole in the thick sheet metal the diameter of my rocket. Around the front of the station a foot or so higher than the hole in the back was a broken pane of glass in the rollup door. My rocket was gaining altitude as it went through the gas station like a huge bullet.   Directly across Beacon Avenue was a Chevron gas station. Trying to look nonchalant, I inspected the face of that gas station. No evidence of any damage so my rocket was still climbing over the top of that station. I then inspected the face of the three story brick apartment house a block further downrange from the Chevron station and also found no damage. I was about 3 blocks away from the launch site and the rocket was still climbing. Further inspections for another 3 blocks revealed no trace of the rocket and at that point it was flying over the construction site of the I-5 freeway and down toward the Sears store off First avenue South For the next two days I combed the newspaper for any mention of an unknown rocket or missile found stuck in some object or building. Nothing. No trace of it. Not long after that our little group dismissed the idea of robbing a ferry boat as not being practical.   I went on to another project of helping the City fix the annual mudslide problem on Columbian Way S. between 14th Ave S and Airport Way by making sufficient nitroglycerine to blow the hill down once and for all so the City would only have to clean it up once instead of every winter. That project was also abandoned when I came very close to blowing up the entire city block that my house sat upon, but that is another story.   P.S. I somehow still have all my body parts.

  • 76. Meeting Today’s Challenge Today’s greatest challenge is peace. Since two men first got into an argument, the world has recoiled from feuds, revolutions, and wars. In years past these disturbances affected relatively few people. But now, with the fantastic arsenals at each country’s hands, an argument between two nations can utterly devastate this small planet. The past wars of this century have proved that conflict does not settle international problems. Now, when the world is bathed in turmoil, is the time when peace is needed most. Our nation’s liberty and the world’s freedom must be protected before sounds of warfare conclude forever any international relations. There are many causes of conflict between individuals, but perhaps the greatest cause is a basic lack of understanding between peoples of different races, creeds, and colors. Man is a suspicious animal. Anything he cannot understand he mistrusts. This mistrust is manifested in prejudice; behavior that treats people not as individuals, but rather as classified members of a group. Conduct such as this denies the individuals of their basic human individuality and dignity, two fundamental precepts in the democratic philosophy. People must live together, and this is possible only with understanding between individuals, cultural groups, and nations. ClevelandJournal5/15/64 Judy (Owens) Smoot, cont. 76   What can each of us do to prevent further discord between people of our nation and others? Education is the surest means of preventing prejudice. Our children must be taught that each person is an individual, with a basic human dignity inviolable in a democratic society. If people can learn to be objective in their beliefs, a major step toward peace will have been taken. Science, too, can help further peace. New and better means of communications are being explored. Soon satellites will transfer radio, television and telephone signals across the oceans to the seven continents. Space age technology will also help raise the standard of living among peoples all over the world, alleviating starvation, disease, and depression as factors of discontent. Peace is our problem, yours and mine. Tomorrow’s world is here today. We are tomorrow’s leaders and we must accept today’s tremendous challenge. Our generation can advance the cause of peace by learning to understand our neighbors. Each of us has the power in his hand to contribute to the solution of this problem, or to help turn this planet into a smoking, pockmarked cinder in space. It’s the mere difference between shaking hands and pushing a button that can spell the future of our generation and those following. What lies ahead is beyond our imaginations. With peace, these dreams can be attained. With our efforts, yours and mine, they will be attained. Judy Owens CHS class of ’64 commencement remarks

  • 81. Pool: No Brawn Required I was looking at a photo posted by Phil Acosta of the old Ben Paris Restaurant and this triggered for me the fond memories of shooting pool during my junior and senior high school years. We lived on Beacon Hill and our neighbors, the Yuen Lui family, (yes, the photography studio folks) had a pool table installed in their basement Rec Room. I learn to shoot pool or more reverently 14.1 or straight pool on many late evenings. The game of straight pool (14.1) requires each player to designate the pocket before playing the cue ball. This requires a high level of technical skill. My two favorite pool experts were Willie Masconi (pocket billiards) and Willie Hoppe (the consummate billiards expert). Mr. Masconi was the technical expert for the movie, The Hustler that featured Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason, as Fats Domino. The tricky pool shots were actually executed by Mr. Masconi behind the scenes on behalf of Paul Newman. When I entered high school, I was barely 5’ tall and this was the perfect sport for someone like me. It did not take brawn to play this game. Concentration, intellect and a delicate stroke was what you needed to succeed. This became my passion reading everything about this national pastime. My twin brother, Allen gave me a beautiful Maple pool cue that he bought me for $5. I finally replaced this with a fancy and expensive cue. I have never owned a pool table; so I take my pool cues with me on vacation and shoot pool at my favorite vacation hangout by myself. I usually blow $50-$60 doing this. So relaxing and fun. 81   Alison W. Sing, cont. How big I was just before entering high school in the late 50s.
  • 82. 82   Alison W. Sing, cont. I worked briefly for the Bon Marche in Men’s Furnishing and during my breaks, I would wander down to the basement of the Ben Paris Restaurant to watch the old timers and budding hustlers shoot pool. I remember seeing my first billiards and snooker tables for the first time. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the old pool hall dives; a perfect location for another remake of the “Hustler” Seattle style. Next to my lovely wife, Claudia, this is my second love.   Alison Sing ‘64

  • 84. The more time that has passed, and now nearly 50 years, the prouder I have become to be a CHS alum. I am really proud when I read about the success of the CHS girls basketball teams and their winning State 3 of the last 4 years. Go Eagles! Girls did not play sports when we were there. 84   Diane Kero It seems that we learned so much about life at CHS although many of us had very little. Even the school, as it was, would probably qualify today as under- resourced. We did what we could with what we had and had fun despite the fact that we seldom won a football game. We didn’t even have a gym. I am not sure we noticed that we were different than the other Seattle high schools until later when we realized the advantages that others had, advantages they took for granted and thought were “normal.” In my first job out of law school, I felt pretty smart until I saw my first office, the one with a window facing south right toward Beacon Hill to remind me of where I started. I treasure at least some of those times at CHS, as tough as it was at times and certainly many of the people who have become lifelong friends. Wonderful people have come from the CHS class of 1964.
  • 85. Employment: Pacific Northwest Bell for eight years. In 1987 I returned to the "working world" and was employed by First Interstate Bank and then transitioned into commercial real estate working as the Administrative Coordinator at The Norman Company and Marketing Services Manager for Trammell Crow Company.

  • 86. 86   Ruth (Fjarlie) Alford, cont. I've been married to Bob Alford (Franklin, 1963) for 47+ years. We made our home in West Seattle, raised our daughters there in 1972 our first daughter was born and I became a stay-at- home mom. Our second daughter was born in 1976, and then moved to Redmond in 2004. On-going fun: We now enjoy spending our winters in Palm Springs we wake up to blue skies and sunshine every day. We have been blessed with three grandchildren and love our time with them. We enjoy fitness walking, biking, hiking and some tennis. We recently completed a walk across the state of Washington starting at Puget Sound and ending at the Idaho border outside of Tekoa. It took several years, but five of us persevered to the finish. As we got farther east in the state it always amazed us when we drove home to think we had walked that far. We have enjoyed many vacations on Maui, made several trips to California, visited many of the states and had a wonderful "retirement" vacation in Costa Rica." One unforgettable high school memory is being at West Seattle Stadium for a football game during the infamous Columbus Day Storm. I remember the score was close but the wind gusts kept getting stronger. Finally, the lights went out and the game was stopped, but those wind gusts in the creaky, old stadium were quite memorable. The game was rescheduled.

Since the kids and grandchildren live in Indiana, I decided I would stay instead of moving back west.

  • 98. In July 1967, I married Don Swanson and we moved to San Antonio, Texas for Don’s job with 3M. One year in Texas was enough for me! We moved back to the Seattle area and soon after had our first child, and then our second less than a year later. I became a stay at home mom caring for our two daughters, Kelly and Tracy. Janet (Gordon) Swanson 98   After a few years, Don became fed up with the corporate world and we started a custom home building business. In 1979 he built us the first of several homes in Normandy Park and we have lived here for the past 37 years.   We spent most of our free time in the 1970s- 90s boating and skiing. We sailed for fun and also raced for many years. In the 1980s we traded in sailing for power boating and spent summers in the San Juan Islands. During the winter we enjoyed skiing on weekends with our girls. Our favorite ski vacations were the ones we took to Whistler Mountain in Canada and Mount Hood in Oregon.   Janet and Don

We now have 4 wonderful grandchildren who are growing up too fast. 101   Pam (Berg) Hart     Projects: We’ve been remodeling a 1935 house on five acres that sits on a cliff looking back at Seattle. We bought it in 1984 and were concerned that we wouldn’t be able to afford it (at $85,500!) but are so glad we bit the bullet. All the rooms on the main floor have been gutted to the studs and rebuilt. We’ve done most of the work ourselves with the help of a neighbor who really knew what he was doing. With the new wrap around porch and deck and house painting this summer, we are done!
  • 102. 102   Pam (Berg) Hart, cont.     Fun: We love to travel and have been to Europe four times, mostly driving to visit friends we’ve met in our travels or to see my cousin in Ireland. We even made it to Iceland to visit a couple on the east side of the country where we stayed with them on a fjord in a small fishing village. What a beautiful country! We used to RV in Mexico and once drove all the way to Guatemala and Belize. Quilting is my passion. Until recently we kept about 16 chickens and think we will again when we are done traveling. Other than that, we garden and try to keep up with our black lab/mix. We feel so blessed to have mostly good health and we keep on keeping on. A quilt I'm working on.

  • 106. After an initial career of 5 years in banking I decided my future did not lie in that industry. I took a job as an escrow assistant, became a licensed Escrow Officer and a Limited Practice Officer. I joined the Escrow Assn of Washington, became an officer and director, setting up and coordinating many annual conventions. 106   Sherian (Butler) Grimes     In working with our industry regulatory agencies I was appointed by the Governor to a 5 year term to the State Escrow Commission and later appointed as the escrow industry representative to the Limited Practice Board of the Washington State Supreme Court and served in that position for 8 years. My main function on the Board was to write the exams for new applicants and the answer key for the Board to grade the results. After several decades in escrow, I was offered a position with a title insurance company traveling and teaching a new escrow software to their branch offices. I loved the experience of flying every week to a new location. I would leave Seattle on Sunday and return home Friday. The new, clean rental car, fancy hotels and nice restaurants, all paid for by my employer, were an absolute joy. Add to that no dishes or housework, priceless!  
  • 107. When my husband Ted retired from Boeing, we both took jobs as over- the-road team truck drivers to see the country while being paid to do so. I was proud of 5 years of no accidents nor moving violations, for which I earned the Companies’ Safe Driver Certification. For the most part, our love of travel made it not seem like a job, except while driving our 18 wheeler through snow and ice. I drove the night shift and would usually park the rig at about 4 am. When I awoke it was mid-day and my first question was “where are we and how far is it to a bathroom?” My hubby always knew where the next bathroom/rest area was and how many minutes to get there. What a talent he had. We traveled through all the contiguous 48 states and would schedule our days off at some part of the country that we wanted to visit. Since we owned our own truck, we did not have to stick to the Company designated routes. I especially enjoyed the pickups and deliveries when trucking by Albany, NY and St. Augustine, FL, both areas where family lived for us to visit.   Hobbies/interests: Of course, my favorite hobby is to travel. I love exploring new places. When we were younger we were boaters. For several years we moored the boat in Olympia and explored the South Sound. Then we moved the boat to Anacortes and traveled the San Juans and Canadian Gulf Islands. Our past work schedule never allowed for extended vacations but we have been to all 50 States, Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas so far. Now our retirement has opened the door to the rest of the world. We have replaced the boat with a 5th wheel trailer and “rough it” in the Idaho National Wilderness areas (we bring our own electricity) and several months in Arizona and Las Vegas. I look to resume golfing here when the weather gets better and plan on taking my golf clubs with me in the 5th wheel. 107   Sherian (Butler) Grimes, cont.

  • 110. Although I had to leave dear ole Cleveland just before graduation to return to my small North Carolina hometown, memories of my experiences with the class of 1964 are indelibly etched in my mind. Fifty years has gone by in a flash. But so very much has happened! 110   Brenda (Aldridge) Farr     I attended Western Carolina University for two years, got married, and had a son. I retired from the US Department of Agriculture at 50 years old with 28 years of service as an Administrative and Program Assistant.
  • 111. 111   Brenda (Aldridge) Farr, cont.     During those years, I was fortunate to travel to many countries around the world. Going into China soon after it began to accept foreign visitors was the most interesting, especially visiting communes and country schools. I also traveled to Hong Kong, Spain, England, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cost Rica and several of the Caribbean Islands. It was also a real treat to see most of our United States. I subbed at school for several years. I love it, but also knew it was good that I did not become that high school English teacher, as I had once planned! I was also a Family Resource Center Director, teaching parenting classes and leading parent-child activities, etc. Many times I have benefited from being a F.L.O.P.S. member in Mrs. Gardner’s LA Class! I became involved in converting a former school into a cultural arts center focused on preserving our Appalachian Heritage through the arts, music and dance. It is now rated as one of the top such places in the southeast. Until recently, I volunteered in my son’s store, enjoying meeting the tourists, locals, and old friends coming back to visit. My husband is deceased, but soon after his death a new male came into my life! He is my first and only grandchild, a little boy with curly red hair, now eight years old. The past fifty years has been full of surprises, heartaches, and much joy!

When we are not traveling state to state in our motorhome or cruising the ocean blue, you will find us restoring and showing classic cars, tripping the light fantastic at dancing lessons and always making new friends. We enjoy spending our free time together and remaining active. So much, so, that I recently began taking golf lessons to share in one of Mike’s favorite pastimes.

  • 114. I’m now working for the “Marble Man.” If you ever go to the Puyallup Fair and see the man who sells marbles with names on them you’ve seen my work. I put the names on the marbles (At least you can’t think I’ve lost my marbles!) 114   Sarah Ann (McCulloch) Wilds     Employment: After graduation, I worked for Value- Mart and then for Boeing. Relationship: In October, 1965, married Alton J. Wilds, III. He had two kids, Lanette (who was 6) and Alton IV (who was 4). That was good because it turned out I could never have kids. We lived in Idaho for a few months, then moved to Colorado near Al’s grandmother. In 1967, we moved back to Washington and Al went to work for Boeing. He worked there until his first stroke in 1997 which ended his ability to work. In 2000, he had a second stroke and then in 2004 his third stroke killed him. In the meantime, we had four grandkids and now have eight great-grandkids. See you at the get-together.

  • 118. Doug Fast ClevelandJournal10/25/64 118   After Cleveland High I attended the Burnley School of Professional Art, then at the end of 1967 I went to work in the Jay Jacobs display department for a year. In 1968 I spent a short time working at the Seattle Opera in the scenery department before starting the Splendid sign Company.
  • 119. Most of the sign work I did was for advertising agencies which is how I met Terry Heckler and his business partner Gordon Bowker (one of the original owners of Starbucks). Heckler/Bowker held the K2 Ski advertising account and they hired me to paint the "CHEW K2" barn on Highway 2 just outside of Sultan for a K2 poster. It eventually led to me being hired by Heckler/Bowker as a designer in January 1973. In my 34 year history with the company I managed to design over 230 logos which include; Starbucks, Panera Bread, Zillow, Ivar's Pier 54 and the Salmon House, Cutter's Bayhouse, and the ski resorts Beaver Creek, and Arapahoe Basin, PF Flyer shoes, the new Fran's Chocolates, and Qdoba to name some of the ones known around here. As far as adventures in the past, my memories of riding freight trains from Seattle to NYC, and from Seattle to LA in the 70's are still fresh in my mind, and I have great memories of the numerous visits to the Haight-Ashbury in 1966 to1967. I was a transfer to Cleveland in the middle of my junior year, and I consider myself lucky to have gone Cleveland High.  119   Doug Fast, cont.     As Doug Fast explains: “I did the green “full siren” logo with a stronger, simpler, read for reproduction. The SBUX type was HAND DRAWN and based on the typeface, Franklin Gothic (this was pre-computer, folks) and had to be drawn so it bent well, around the circle. We submitted the logo to Howard, one with a red color and one in a green color. He picked the green color option”.

  • 125. Memories of my time at Cleveland: Band, especially pep band when we beat Garfield the best team in basketball for the last game of the season. Then the music teacher changed to all male Jazz band – what was that all about? End of Chemistry class when Kathy Kluper came running up to the room to tell me President Kennedy had been shot. Walking Dawson Hill with books and clarinet for Grade School and High School. No wonder I like to hike now. 125   Pamela (Robison) Braaten     Post Cleveland: Graduated from UW and went to work in Hotel Management for Westin. Moved to Portland and Chicago.

  • 126. Memories: Of us trying sooo hard in football – and the joy of winning the last two games (I can still hear the sound of our line moving the giant Garfield defender back). 126   Robert Glenn Brooks     The fun of journalism class – another great life lesson in teamwork. Ms. Raine making us think about bigger things than ourselves. All of the good natured arguing in various classes. And mostly, how nice everyone seemed to be to each other (how unlike the modern picture of high school!) Perhaps at the reunion I will expose the truth about the painful grade school crush episode.
  • 127. I grew up in the Columbia Ridge area with Tom Steinbach, Bill Landry, Bob Jurcan, Pamela Robison, Al Keene, Mary Schenkenberger, Bobbi Weirich, Dennis Chin, Gary Pettit and many others. Many of us trudged down Dawson Hill everyday to Maple School. After school we played in the fields under the power lines every night until our Dads or Moms started calling us home for dinner. It was a great place to live and the friendships we built lasted a lifetime. 127   Don Deschenes     Since grade school my greatest accomplishments in life were: 1.  Marrying my wife of 46 years Cathy Carlson Deschenes and 2.  The birth of my sons Scott and Dave.
  • 128. The path I travelled to accomplish the forgoing was not always straight. Looming on the horizon after graduation was the Vietnam War and compulsory military service. Little did all of us know when we graduated how it would affect our lives? I attended Shoreline Community College on a basketball scholarship and eventually was drafted. I remember my Trig teacher telling us, “You’re all a bunch of draft dodgers and I am going to put you were you belong, Vietnam!”. He accomplished his goal. I landed in Vietnam in the middle of the Tet Offensive on my way to Thailand. I was assigned to a transportation company and we hauled tons and tons of land mines to NKP on the Mekong river. After returning home I married Cathy and finished school at Seattle U. with a degree in accounting. I was more motivated and usually took 20 hours per quarter while working part-time at Sears. My last quarter I took 25 hours and received straight A’s. After graduation I worked for Weyerhaeuser in Federal way for five years and then went to work for the Japanese in Wrangell, Alaska for 7 years and then moved back to Washington. I worked for Mayr Bros. Logging in Hoquiam and then Tubafor Mill in Morton which I retired from in 2012. My sons were both great baseball players and I coached them from Little League all the way to Senior Babe Ruth. David played at WSU and Pacific. I also coached Don Marbut who is the head coach at WSU now. Currently, we live in Lacey at Hawks Prairie Golf course on the Woods Course (Hole #9). I play golf every morning with my neighbors and it reminds me of many years ago playing underneath the power lines with my old friends. 128   Don Deschenes, cont.

  • 130. “I remember when Vince Responte showed up a ‘64 Corvette coupe. It was so beautiful driving through Dags – with the headlights on and their covers closed lighting up the inside of the grill – a very cool look.” Ted Leonhardt “Mr. Fujii introduced me to Jazz, cartooning, and how to make your way in life as a creative. I’ve always been grateful. He steered me to The Burnley School of Professional Art, along with Doug Fast. That great little school was bubbling with talent and energy. Here Frank is showing students ‘how to’ just like he did for us back then.” John Lok, Seattle Times 130   I've been enjoying myself assembling this Scrapbook for the last couple of years. It's been a bit like time travel giving me another chance to look at my past. I went to Maple Elementary and Asa Mercer along with many of you. In the second grade our teacher, I think it was Mrs. Hayes, praised my drawing of Columbus’ ships. I remember my pride vividly and I now think of that moment as the start of my career.
  • 131. 131   Ted Leonhardt, cont.     I married Judy Ownby, also a Cleveland grad, in 1967. Our son Eric was born in 1969. Here we are in 1980 with my parents Ted and Betty. Sadly, Judy passed away in 2011. Eric is now a professor at Western Washington University and has two sons of his own.   In 1987 I married Carolyn Coldewey and helped her raise her two sons Chris and Devin. Chris has two sons of his own now and works with the UN and The Gates Foundation. Devin is a tech reporter for NBC News.   Carolyn and I founded The Leonhardt Group, a brand design agency. We sold it in 1999 then moved to Europe where I helped the new owner assemble a group of formerly independent design agencies under the Fitch banner.   Since then I’ve consulted with design agencies in the US and UK. My first book was released this January. I teach negotiation skills for creatives online through CreativeLIVE and in person at Makerhaus and the School of Visual concepts.
  • 132. For my recent birthday, I received poems from two different friends. One was, “Getting older, I’m much better at watching rain. I skip counting individual drops in favor of the general feeling of rain” (Harrison and Kooser). The other was by Francis Bacon, “We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.”   132   Karen (Tweet) Tvedt    
  • 133. 133   Karen (Tweet) Tvedt, cont.     I have lived my life intensely, getting married right out of high school, becoming a mother at 19, and starting my own child care business a few years later. This set me on the path to a career in early care and education which led to public administration in Olympia and Washington DC, and to a Ph.D. in Social Work and Social Research in 2009. More recently, my life has come full circle as I returned to caregiving (for my elderly parents and grandchildren) while working part-time as a consultant for the federal government and volunteering with the League of Women Voters and other organizations on issues related to children and social justice. As time passes, I find myself wanting to be less busy, becoming more keenly aware of the beauty and fragility of life and the interrelatedness of all things. On a day to day basis, I enjoy meditating, writing, gardening, working out, and spending time with family. In April, I spent 12 days in silent retreat in Santa Fe. For the future, I hope to travel to new places and to do more such retreats.
  • 134. Memories of CHS: The great girlfriends Marcia, Toby, Connie, Judy and Nancy – we still share lots of laughs on trips and toasts at Happy Hours. Roll room with Kip Tokuda (his family bought our family house on Beacon Hill), Jack Tubbs and Mr. Phelan (found out after a short time that his parents knew my parents), Mrs. Pangborn and being in her class the day that Kennedy was shot, girls not being able to wear jeans to school and of course I hated PE class! Thankfully girls have lots more sports choices in school now. 134   Cheri (Wandell)Watson

  • 139. The Walking Man of Murphys   Hi everyone, first of all I want to thank all the people of the Mother Lode and all the people from around this great country who have supported me in my walking for Operation Mend. I started this journey back in Sept. 22 of 2008 for Operation Mend and I am amazed at the support I have received. Once again thank you for all your support. Can you believe this, here is one old Marine Vietnam Veteran walking for a cause to help our men and women of today serving and supporting this great country, and I have received checks from as far away the East Coast in support of Operation Mend. So I want to let everyone know that I was asked to walk in the 4th of July parade in Arnold which will be on Saturday July 5th because of my walking for Operation Mend and on that day while walking in the parade I will walk my 6000 mile. That will give me 1000 miles a year. I really never thought I would walk this far and I would not have if it wasn't for all people who have supported me. I can't stop now. Boots on the ground for our troops coming back from the war we are now in for these young men and women are the future of this great country. If anyone wants to see how great Operation Mend is and what they do with the donations they receive please go to Operation Mend .com. When you do you will see why I am so serious about their cause and how they help our troops who come back from the war." God Bless America                    Ric, USMC  64 -68 139   Ric Ryan
