FAILS TO WIN AGAIN !!!
2013 CHSAA Annual Golf Tournament
What Happened This Year?
The Saga Continues!
By
Alison W. Sing ‘64
I stand alone on the last green pondering what
happened this year. Again my dreams of victory
have faded away. It makes one wonder . . . .
“Why do we play this game called golf ???”
Of the twelve annual Cleveland High School Golf
Tournaments or “Scrambles” that the alumni association has either hosted or been associated
with, I have either hosted or played in nine tournaments since its inception in 2001.
Whether hosting a foursome or in some years
two teams, playing in this annual alumni association “classic” has become my favorite pastime
for me and I imagine for many of my fellow alums and their golfing guests. As we gather at
the clubhouse signing in and picking up our tee
gifts; there is a sense of excitement in the air.
Everyone is either chatting with classmates or
friends that they have not seen since the last
tournament or meeting someone new. Some
sneak off to the driving range to warm up or hit
the practice green to get a feel for how greens
are “running” this morning.
Soon, we all respond to the call to “tee off” and
everyone makes the short trek lugging their golf
equipment across Beacon Avenue. For a brief
moment, even traffic stops for the endless trek
of golfers like little “lemmings” following their
leaders to the cliff’s edge.
As everyone jockeys around looking for their
two-person “chariot” the din of confusion turns
to action as the keys were turned on to bring the
golf carts to life. For the next five or ten minutes, golf carts start scooting over to everyone’s
assigned starting point. One hears a call, where
is fairway ## located? The more sophisticated

golfers pull out their hi-tech GPS devices to find their fairway. For the old timers, we just follow the cart paths in
the general direction of our starting tee.
My foursome was designated as 15b — in golf jargon we
were the second foursome assigned to the 15th fairway.
Team 15a had the “honors” of teeing off first.
We greet each other as all golfers do before a tournament
— a simple handshake while eyeing each other’s manhood.
This year the foursome that led off from our starting hole
consisted of John Nelson, Tom Hoshikawa, Rod Okazaki
and Skeeter Keene. Had I known we were playing with the
team that would win the tournament, I might have turned
our golf cart around and headed for the clubhouse.
Each foursome started the day armed with three personal
Mulligans per player (these are like get-out-of-jail cards in
Monopoly or the classic “do over” cards) and a three-foot
length of Licorice Rope — well it stretches to three feet if
you work it. You can use no more than one licorice rope
to save a stroke per green. To accomplish this you lay the
licorice rope from the edge of the cup to the ball. If there
is enough rope to cover the distance then you don’t have
to putt the ball, saving the stroke. A team member must
then eat the length of rope used. This option is no longer
available to the team after the licorice rope is used up. So
rope management is a key factor in winning.
Each team followed the team in front of them until we
finished playing our designated 18th holes. We started on
the 15th fairway so we finished on the 14th. This way we
all start at essentially the same time, but on different fairways, and we finish about the same time for our luncheon

Thank you for devoting so much of the newsletter to
Mr. Ed Landon! I was in his homeroom for 4 years
and when it was time to sign up for classes for my
junior year he told me he would NOT sign any plan
that did not include a foreign language since it was
a requirement for college entrance. Needless to say
I took Spanish, went on to college, graduated with
a major in math and a minor in physics. Later I
finished with a Masters degree. I taught in four different districts, doing most of my work in Manhattan
Beach, CA. During my 34 years in education I mostly
taught math and science but also was an assistant
to the principal and one year was a principal at an
elementary school.
Thank you, Mr Landon!

There are 4 vacant positions on the alumni board
of directors in addition to those running for reelection.
The board meets 3-4 times per year at the school,
generally on a Tuesday evening. The meetings
usually last between 2-3 hours.
Please consider serving. We do lots of good things
for Cleveland students.
To spread participation over the decades of attendance, we are especially in need of those in classes
in the late 60s through 2013.
Contact any board member via email or telephone
if you have any questions and/or are interested.
By JoAnn (Victor) Smith
Aaren Purcell, Archivist and Records Manager for
Seattle Public Schools (SSD) is appealing to all
Cleveland High alums for year books (the Aquila) to
be donated to preserve them for future generations
and researchers. She is particularly seeking those in
the 70s and 80s. It doesn’t matter if there is writing
in the book.
Many of you may not know about the Archives and
Records division of the Seattle School District.
One of the items they collect and protect are Annuals
for all SSD schools.
The books are kept in a Chilly Room. Temperature
and humidity are controlled and visitors may view
and photograph from the books wearing gloves.
This method of preservation is known to work for
about 200 years.
The Archives are missing Cleveland year books (Aquilas) for the following years and Ms. Purcell would
love to have them even if they have writing in them:
1970, 1980, 1988, 2002, 2004 and 2008
When asked about the disposition of duplicates, she
related that they may be sent to the Seattle Public
Library where they are handled in much the same
manner as the SSD Archives.
If you have an extra annual or one you don’t need/
want any more and it’s not on the most wanted list,
you can mail it directly to the Seattle Public Library.

old body. As we made the run back to the clubhouse
I was looking forward to the lunch and awards ceremony.
As we dropped off our golf cart, I asked Karl about
our score. “Not bad,” he responded. “We had a minus
one for the day or a 69, which is one stroke below
the par 70 for the course.” Feeling great, we lugged
our clubs back to our cars and headed towards the
clubhouse.
Everyone was in a jovial mood, sharing their stories
about their play or trying to win the putting contest.
The Golf Committee collected the score cards.
As everyone gathered for our luncheon feast of BBQ
chicken and ribs, potato salad, pork-n-beans along
with choice-of-beverage, the Golf Committee tallied
up the score and announced the top three winning
teams­­— the only score any team is really interested
in is their own. So how did we do?? Our score of 69
placed us solidly in last place. How could this be ???
My team failed again.
Until we play again next year I quietly stand alone in
the Hall of Shame. But then looking on the brighter
side, does anyone dare compete with us for the bottom position. Perhaps, my goal next year should be

and awards ceremony. This is called a shotgun start.
Our starting hole was a par 4 with an uphill drive of
324 yards. The first tee for the day is generally the
one you either do extremely well or you muff your
first shots and set the pattern for the rest of the day.
Three of our golfers muffed their first shot and drove
them through the pond and the fourth golfer sent his
to the right into the trees. Fortunately, the pond was
“dry” and none of us had to take a penalty stroke for
hitting the pond. We made it to the green in three
strokes and two-putted; giving us 5 strokes for the
hole, or par +1.
Our second hole on fairway #16 is 125 yards with a
par 3 rating. Unfortunately, it took us two strokes to
get to the green and we ended up two putting. This
gave us 4 strokes for par +1 again. Now, overall, we
are par +2 for the tournament with 16 holes to play.
Fairway #17 is a downhill dogleg left, 480 yards long
with a par 5 rating. My financial advisor, Karl Duitsman hits his best drive of the day and it travels
over 330 yards over the rise and grabs some lucky
bounces to stay on the fairway. Our second shot
lands at the edge of the green 25 yards from the cup.
Yours truly putts his best shot of the day and sinks it
and our team scores an “Eagle” (two under par). In
fact, the only “Eagle” scored in the tournament. Our
aggregate score is now par. You should quit when

The rest of the golf tournament was uneventful; we
managed to play par golf capitalizing on using our
licorice rope and Mulligans to keep what we thought
was a decent score.

CLEVELAND HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ( CHSAA )
Alumni Spotlight – Jay Turner – CHS Class of 1975
Jay Turner is well known throughout the golfing industry for his golf clubs.
As owner and President of Redbird Sports for the last 28 years, Jay makes
some of the best clubs in the world. Perhaps even more important is that Jay
is the developer and owner of a patented club-fitting system that assures
all, from beginners to touring professionals like Rick Fehr, of having a set of
properly fitted clubs — a key ingredient missing from mass produced golf
clubs sold at other shops. It is no wonder Jay’s clubs are found in the bags
of a “who’s who” list of local sports stars and celebrities who know Redbird
clubs provide that extra edge with the custom fit. This is pretty heady stuff
for the current CHSAA Alumni Board member who goes by the nickname
“Bird” and prefers to fly under the radar.
Flying under the radar is exactly what Jay Turner does. Jay is currently
serving again on the CHSAA Alumni Board of Directors doing what he does
best — giving back to the students and educators at Cleveland High School.
The life-long Beacon Hill resident sits on the all important scholarship committee helping make the tough decisions on student scholarships for higher
education. Also in Jay’s sights is the CHS athletic program, which he feels
is just as important to student life as academics. As Jay says “It is highly
important that today’s kids have the balance that we had. Athletics brings
the student community together for a common goal, and more importantly,
teaches kids how to compete with the result not always being a win — just
like in the business world and life.”
Jay Turner in his Redbird
So it is no surprise that when Cleveland started up its golf program up again
Sports Shop
a few years ago Jay came to the rescue and outfitted the whole team with
clubs and bags. What’s even more significant is that Jay wants the kids who enjoy golf to keep those clubs
so they can practice year round. “We can always get more clubs,” he says with a smile.
The one area where Jay’s giving-back mantra most impacts the school is the annual CHS Alumni Golf Tournament. Jay has been involved in the Alumni Association’s primary fundraising event since the beginning.
For most tournaments, Jay has donated all of the prizes for “place” finishers as well as longest drive and
closest-to-the-cup competitions — more than $20,000 in products to these events. In typical fashion, Jay
deflects credit for the tournament’s success on to others.
“The Golf Committee makes it all happen. Selling hole sponsorships, procuring raffle donations and making
those calls to get alumni and administration participation has allowed the tournament to grow. We have had
a great committee working the tournament the last few years; all volunteers taking the tournament from
an event making $1500 in the early years to making $6000 in 2013. Dottie Chin, CHS Class of 1974 has put
together a focused committee of graduates and is a great recruiter for the cause. It has also helped that we
have moved the tournament back to Jefferson Park, which is once again the CHS golf team’s home course.
We are learning through experience and input from players on how to make it a better event. All I do is work
with Jefferson and Premier Golf on course availability, meals for the players, and donate the prizes — the
committee does the real work.”
When asking Jay what he sees in the future for The CHS Alumni Association and the tournament however
there is nothing timid or unassuming in his reply:
“Cleveland needs better Alumni support . . . .PERIOD !!! We need people to step up and take a turn on the
board — I mean it’s only 3 meetings of 2 hours each a year. We need more alumni to support and play in the
tournament, which will be played August 16th of 2014 at Jefferson Park. We need more alumni to donate
for scholarships and athletics so these kids have a chance. They live in a very different world than we did.
If every CHS Alumni, once a year, gave up one fast-food meal and just donated $25 to the Alumni Association, and volunteered a little time for these kids, we could do great things for the school we attended and
love. The satisfaction one can get is immeasurable when you see the smiles on these kids’ faces and how
it impacts them — and it takes so little. None of us should forget where we came from and recognize the
impact we can have on the lives of others.”
Thank you, Jay Turner, for all you do !!!

CHS SPORTS TEAMS PLAY WITH HANDICAP
Annette Duvall - Director of Activities & Athletics
As we evaluate our athletic program, there are host of circumstances that force our teams to compete at
a disadvantage. The sports field located below CHS has a grass turf lacking the quality necessary for high
school sports. CHS is the only school in the Seattle Public School District that doesn’t have a synthetic-turf
field extending from school property. Although many would argue that athletic programs and athletes have
trained on the lower field for decades, in today’s world the turf quality is a liability for football and soccer
players. It is hard, uneven, and has divots and sprinkler heads. It is unsafe for our athletes to use in its
current condition.
As a result of CHS’s lack of outdoor facilities our student athletes are bussed to community parks to practice their sport. This is a severe disadvantage to our athletes because bus rental expenses come out of the
sports program’s budget. In some cases our students miss class time because of the busing problem. By
comparison, other schools that have their own sports facilities don’t suffer the additional expense for buses
or the extra time that students are out of class.
CHS athletes are bused to off-campus locations for practice and/or competition in the following programs:
• Fastpitch - The team is assigned to Maplewood Play Field but it doesn’t drain well and is closed for practice
by the Seattle Parks Department when it rains. Van Asselt Elementary is the backup field but it is turf. It
has no base inserts so rubber bases are used for practice. Fastpitch home games are at Rainier Beach so
our home games have to be on the dates when Rainier Beach plays away.
• Baseball - The team is assigned to Brighton Elementary but it doesn’t drain well. It, too, is closed by Seattle Parks department when it rains. They use the CHS gym as a backup field and play their home games
at Rainier Beach under the same restrictions as the Fastpitch team.
• Boys and Girls Soccer - Both teams use Van Asselt Elementary for practice and home games. The boys
team takes a bus to practice and games. The girls team has scaled down to two days a week at Van Asselt in
the Fall so the football team can practice there. The girls have to find their own ride to practice at Van Asselt.
Parks and Rec. agreed to make Georgetown Playfield available 3 days a week this past fall. The girls change
into game uniforms at school, put their backpacks etc. in my pickup truck for delivery at the playfield.
• Football - The team schedules a bus to and from Van Asselt three days a week for practice. Van Asselt
has hash marks and predictable footing for football. The team didn’t practice on grass at all in 2013 which
decreases player injuries.
• Cross Country - The team has two or three local routes they run and do not have need of a bus for practice.
They do need a bus for meets.
• Swimming - The team needs transportation to practice every day. Last year, myself and another coach
each drove a van of students to practice after school. A team of over 50 in 2014 requires a bus.
• Track & Field - In the Spring the team takes a bus daily to Rainier Beach High School for practice.
• Tennis - A bus is required for all practices at Jefferson Park and all tennis matches.
Bus rental costs are about $180 except during the critical hours of 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm when the cost is
around $600. Any bus ordered during the critical hours is considered a “charter” and must come from Tacoma. In managing the sports programs it is a choice between high bus-rental charges or taking the kids out
of class earlier than necessary — it’s a lose-lose situation. Additional expenses occur when the bus driver
sits and waits for a game or practice to finish so the students can be returned to school.
Because CHS football has not drawn a large crowd in recent years, we are typically assigned the earliest
starting time of 5:00 pm at Memorial Stadium for varsity football games. To save the high bus expenses
($600+), we schedule a bus to leave just before 1:30 pm. The kids and coaches arrived at Memorial Stadium by 2:00 pm and wait for warm ups to begin at 4:00 pm for a 5:00 pm start time. We did this four
times this past fall to save money at the expense of our boys missing many hours of academic class time.
No other school in Seattle Public Schools has the same level of problems that Cleveland has in transporting
student athletes. Unfortunately, CHS is not consistently provided with extra funding to cover these expenses. Uniforms and equipment are also under funded. For example:
Baseball - We put baseball back in as a spring sport in 2013 and had 25 boys participate. We purchased
twenty five $10 jerseys and the kids had to provide their own white baseball pants, socks, belts and baseball
hat. Our equipment is extremely limited for this sport.
Volleyball - Our Volleyball team has only enough equipment for one court. A second net and poles are
needed. Lakeside School loaned CHS equipment for a second court. The equipment had to be returned in
early November so we are back to only one set of volleyball poles for 45 players.
Track - We purchased additional track uniforms last spring and strategically printed Cleveland with a track
foot so the same jerseys could be used for Cross Country. Cross Country is a fall sport while track is in the
spring so sharing is reasonable. These two programs also share sweat tops and pants.
Girls & Boys Soccer – these two programs also share uniforms and sweat tops. The uniforms are too big
for the girls but they make it work by wrapping tape around their sleeves so the jerseys are like tank tops.
The reality is that CHS sport teams are at a disadvantage however our coaching staff and athletic department are committed to finding ways to make things work for the athletes in spite of these challenging circumstances. GO EAGLES!!!

Schmidt makes
quick impact
CLEVELAND: 4-2 START
—————
First-year coach
already has program
exceeding expectations
By KAELYN SAYLES
Seattle Times staff reporter
The Cleveland football program has made major
strides this season.
If Cleveland, off to a 4-2 start, can win its final two
games of the regular season, it will match the combined win total of the previous five seasons.
A big factor for this turn around? First-year coach Jeff
Schmidt.
“It’s been remarkable to watch it evolve in such a
short period of time,” Cleveland athletic director Annette Duvall said.
Schmidt said that after the preseason coaches’ poll
came out — in which Cleveland was ranked second to
last in the Sound Division of the Metro League — he
put the poll up on the bulletin board.
“This is what people think. It’s not what I think or
what I expect,” Schmidt said.
Schmidt said there are three points he stresses to his
players: relationships, fundamentals and discipline.
“If these kids buy in, if these kids actually buy into
the blueprint, they have the opportunity to make a
little noise,” Schmidt said.
Even opposing coaches are taking notice.
TREASURER’S REPORT
December 2013: The Golf Tournament income in
2013 was larger than prior years, thanks to increased
participation. We will sustain our balances.
Details will be given at the annual meeting, Jan. 18.
Allen Storaasli ‘62, Treasurer
PUZZLE ANSWER
Zero. The sun doesn’t go
around Earth.
Page 11
“They look like a completely new team,” Nathan Hale
coach Hoover Hopkins said while talking about what
he saw when scouting Cleveland for their game in
Week 5.
Nathan Hale went on to win, 22-20. But after the
game, Hopkins’ impression hadn’t changed.
“Cleveland has improved so much,” Hopkins said.
“It’s just an incredible turn-around. Their coach has
done a great job; they have great athletes.”
Schmidt has tried to make an impression on his team
off the field as well.
Duvall said that on game days, players arrive at
Cleveland 30 minutes before school starts to put on
their uniforms. They then stand in the halls and hold
doors open, welcoming the student body to school
while also letting them know where and when their
game is that night.
Such a simple act has had a big impact.
“Now, we have a group of people showing up to
games that historically hadn’t happened,” Duvall
said.
Pregame, it’s easy to see just what that’s done. Loud
fans are in the stands before kickoff, excited cheerleeaders run around getting ready to actually cheer
for a crowd. But there is a deeper impact as well.
“We have a population of students that need caring adults,” and he provides that, Duvall said. “He’s
connected with the kids, promoted participation, set
high standards.”
Next up for Cleveland is Lakeside on Saturday.
Whatever the outcome, there’s no denying Cleveland
football is changing.
“Am I shocked?” Schmidt said. “Shocked we’re 4-2.
Shocked we’re not 5-1.”

ALUMNI TEAM SUPPORT
FOOTBALL: We had “Support Your Football Team”
night on October 11th when the Cleveland Eagles
played the Franklin Quakers. What a turnout !!!
There were 7 of us out to support CHS. I promised everyone that they would get recognition in the
Alumni Newsletter so here they are:
• Rudy Vukelic ‘61
• Richard Hall ‘61
• Larry Kupferer ‘61
• Jean Whitcomb ‘61
• Mary Lou Barton ‘54 • Fred Winberg ‘61
• John Barton ‘54
Good show for the class of 1961.
To our surprise, the Eagles were ahead 28 to 0 at the
end of the first quarter. The Eagles went on to an
easy victory of 56 to 28.
Basketball: Just a reminder that the Eagles have a
game with Franklin on January 3rd at CHS. The girls
team is at 5:15 pm and the Boys team is at 6:45 pm.
Wouldn’t it be great if we got more than 7 alumni.

Lois Marian Olson ‘45 was active in and supported
the alumni association since day one. She arranged
for and sold T-shirts as a fundraiser and researched
all the veterans for authenticity for the plaques at
the CHS Memorial forest.
She has been an Eagle 100 since its inception. Always donating generously.
Vince Ianniciello class of 1956 passed away in August of 2013. His classmate, Carol (Splaine) Donahue, honored him with a donation in his memory.
“In Memory of beloved teacher and colleague”. The
Ed Landon Scholarship Fund was the recipient of a
donation from Paul Wallrof class of 1950. Paul was
taught by Mr. Landon and later coached with him for
8 years at Cleveland.
Our apologies to Mary Lou (Boyden) Griffin ’46, who
donated in honor of her husband, Bob Griffin ’43.
Bob passed away in July 2012 and “he was one of
the good guys!!”) Her memorial request was too
late for the July Newsletter.
