From the Director
WSAA Board of Directors
Teri Shine, Executive Director, WSAA
Member
Winter has finally arrived to
Wickliffe and with it the
beauty of blue skies, crunchy
white snow, a crispy breeze,
and long shadows of the afternoon. We are gearing up
for the annual Super Bowl
Tailgate Basket Raffle. The
event is once again sold out,
but we are still looking for
volunteers to help manage
the fun on Saturday, February 6th. Donations will be
gratefully accepted up to the opening of the
doors that night. Please contact me or Sue Bell
with donations of time, money, or basket items.
2015 was a busy year. Frank Foti and Mark Tennant brought you play by play coverage of the
Blue Devil home football games. You could listen
to the broadcasts via the WBDN (Wickliffe Blue
Devils Network) with a link at the WSAA website.
The Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees were introduced at the first home football game of the season. Mary Siefert Cheraso, Dennis Nemura, Leigh
Mann Guido, Tony Cira, and Matt Zelina received
a warm, windy and rainy welcome. Mike Sheredy
was absent due to his coaching of his Maple
Heights Mustangs football team.

Mark Linton Mrs. Collins, my first grade teacher, taught me how
to read and instilled a love for reading that still exists today, 62
years later.
Tidbits, trivia questions, & memorable answers are available on the
Wickliffe Schools Alumni Association Facebook group page
Andrea Randi Ross Ok I'll be the oldster! Mr. STOKER and Mr.
PENROD! Loved those guys. Taught me how to use my imagination and to treasure it. To look beyond the obvious and enjoy
laughter!
Lisa Walunis DuPerow Mrs. Feltham changed my entire outlook
on life. She believed in me and encouraged me beyond belief.
Did a Wickliffe School teacher impact your
life, how and who?
Mary Ann Plovock Mr. King who taught Spanish and took an
interest in the lives of his students; Mr. Durcy who spent many
extra hours teaching me Geometry until I finally got it. And Mr.
Grillo who taught me to always know the meaning of a word.
Some of the wonderful answers posted on the
WSAA Facebook page are listed below. Many
Wickliffe teachers made a difference, and the
kind comments reflect only a small portion of
those that posted.
Kathy McConnell Moody Mr. Bill Hawley...he pointed me in the
right direction. I will never forget him.
Linda Gilson Jones I was fortunate to have had many good
teachers from kindergarten to graduation from high school in
Wickliffe! Teachers I especially liked, admired, or learned a lot
from were: Mrs. Mlakar (1st half of 5th grade and Mrs. Lanning
2nd half of 5th grade), Mrs. Smith, art teacher at Worden, Mr.
Frank (taught me to play the clarinet and got me in the band!
Expanded our knowledge to many types and styles of music). Mr.
Fatica (6th grade - recognized a bit of artistic talent in me and
gave me the challenge of designing and producing the monthly
hallway bulletin board!)...Mr. Byers (7th grade soc. studies, 9th
grade English Lit, 12th grade English Lit.....had high expectations
for his students...prepared us for college and life!) Mrs. Foy (7th
grade English - I remember having to memorize poems, speeches, the Preamble to the Constitution and then recite them before
the class)....Mr. Cycler (8th grade math), Mrs. Greer (10th grade
English...she inspired a love for writing), Mr. Hetherington (he
made a difficult subject, Chemistry, interesting) and Mr. Stocker
(Art - enjoyed his class....a wonderful person!).
Maria Continenza Albanese Every. Single. One. Mrs. Ploetz,
Mrs. Pavlish, Mr. Rueger, Mrs. Mlakar, Mrs. Probert, Mr. Srail, Mr.
Maxwell, Ms. Smaldone, Mr. D'Amore, Mrs. Feltham, Mr.
Wolfgram, Mr. Benz, Mr. Platz, Ms. Capasso, ....the list goes on!
70s & early 80s!
Angela Okicki Becker There were a lot.....but Mrs. Young was
my teacher in first and fourth grades.....she passed away during
my fourth grade year......I used to go over her house and visit
her while she was sick.
Don Coburn There were several and for several different reasons. However, Mr. Ranallo comes to mind. He made me want to
learn five syllable words and larger! Be that as it may, he was a
fine baseball coach, actually one of the best coaches I've ever
had. He taught English and baseball, and I learned both pretty
well from him!
Gene Kutina Ralph Simmons was a mentor, coach and a true
teacher.
Mark Cline Mrs. Sell in high school and Mrs. Skaggs at Lincoln.
Both were teachers. I was able to not only learn my school lessons from but also learn how to grow in life lessons.
Melissa Mason-Kulchock Mr. Ranallo, Mr. Elias, Mr. Hall, Mr.
Santoro, & Mrs. Rayl all helped me in different aspects of my life
for different reasons! Loved going to Wickliffe schools & now so
do my kids.
Marjorie Haney Mrs. Judd was my favorite teacher ever. She
engaged me and challenged my imagination.
Mr. Ranallo was such an excellent teacher of English lit. that I
was way ahead of my peers when I began as an English major in
college.
Allison Rockwell Wegener Mr. Griffith was the only teacher
that taught me science so I could understand it. He was awesome!!
Lisa Grubiss-Greger Mr. Milavec, Mr. Penrod, Mr. Jim Fatica and Mr. Platz and Senora Whitehorn. They were some of the
most upstanding teachers I ever had. I loved having each of
them for so many reasons. Proud to be a Blue Devil.
Tim Hennies There was a great guy at Wickliffe that wasn't a
teacher but the wrestling coach in the 60's an early 70's. He was
a full time police captain but coached wrestling at night. He
taught me the fundamentals of the sport and the discipline that
you would need in life. Being a know it all kid I didn't realize till
later in life how it did help me. I took those lessons and used
them to teach other kids. I have coached over 20 yrs in Mentor
an 4 back at Wickliffe and now I'm back at Mentor trying to give
kids that guidance to succeed in life. I never had a chance to
thank him. He has passed away but thank you Coach Davis.
Tim Hennies class 66
Amy Minadeo Yates Mr. Richard Benz. He made me love biology and learn as much as I could about it. I continued my love of
biology in college with studying Neuroscience. Thank you Mr.
Benz!!!

consisted of nine members and held practices
once a week. Though much hard work and cooperation, they were admitted to the old band.’
‘The greatest event for the band (forty-five
members) this year has been its participation in
the Ohio State Band Contest in Akron.’
HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ‘24
From the 1926 Wick-Leaf
by M. Kralick ’25
The class of ’24 embarked upon its high school
career in 1920 with ten students on its roll.
This class rapidly decreased until only three
students were left.
To Thomas Brooks belongs the honorable title
of “first editor of the Wickliffe-Leaf”. It was he
who laid the firm foundation for the future success of Wickliffe High School’s first paper. Two
members of the class of ’24 scored high in basketball, and for a tem each captained their
teams to victories, All three students have taken active part in the different high school organizations and each has shown his adaptability to character roles on the stage by his performance in various plays,. Indeed one of the
young men of this group might well be named
the “famous lover of the stage.”
‘In 1925 eighteen students met with Mr. McCormick for the purpose of organizing a school
band. They set about choosing and securing instruments. With much hard work and cooperation the boys were able to play at the
County Fair the following fall. Girls received an
invitation to join (in 1928). Six girls responded
and after a few special lessons, they were able
to sit in with the old band. During the past two
years the band has played at many prominent
places. If has had the honor to play under the
direction of John Philip Sousa at the Cleveland
Exposition, and on the excursion boat to and
from Cedar Point. It has broad cast over
W.H.K., played at various football games, and at
the County Fairs. It took part in the County Musical Festival, Decoration Day Exercises here and
in other towns, and also played at various entertainments and affairs in Wickliffe.’
In addition to these achievements, the three
students proved themselves popular at all social events. They were a game sort of group
and their entry into activities was marked with
a certain enthusiasm characteristic of them.
On the evening of June 15th, 1924, the honor
of being the first class to graduate from Wickliffe High School was conferred upon them.
‘It soon became evident that new instruments
would be needed. It was thought well, therefore, to organize a junior band. This junior band

To Those Who Have Gone Before Us
Class of 1965
By Tom Ansberry
One of the questions asked of me at our recent
50th class reunion was if I had a list of those
classmates who have passed on. My estimate is
that we have lost between 50-75 classmates.
Here is the limited list of those I can confirm:
Bob Acton, Norm Allison, Dee Armitage, Barry
Bennett, Ned Calcavecchio, John DeCapua, Al
DelCalzo, Jackie DiSanto, Janie Furlong, Paul
Gadke, Tom Judge, Greg Kazek, Linda Kerin,
Mike Leposky, Eve Mondato, Carmen Matteo,
Dan Maurer, Drew McComb, Danny McCurdy,
Hank Nadolski, Annette Nastasi, Trish O’Grady,
Rich Piendzik, Nancy Schartner, Weegee
Schroter, Peggy Shirey, Barb Starman, John
Thomas, Dennis Travarca, Tony Valletto, Kevin
Weston, & Barb Woodworth. There are another
25+ class members with unknown whereabouts;
they could also be deceased. If you know of any
deceased classmates not noted, please let me
know as it would be remiss to not recognize
their passing.
In loving memory of all our fellow classmates who
have passed away, the Wickliffe Schools Alumni Association website (www.wickliffealumni.org) has an
“In Memoriam” section.
Please take a moment and view the names; let us
know if you have a friend or loved one who went to
Wickliffe and should be included. (On the “Directory”
tab, choose “In Memoriam” from the drop down list,
click to open). Please use the provided form to have
a departed classmate honored on this page or send
the information directly to [email protected]
The following information is required:
Full Name,
Date of Birth/Date of Death,
Year Graduated.
NOTE: Copy of the Obituary or Link to Obituary or Copy of Death Notice or Copy of Funeral
Home In Memoriam Card
From one reunion to the next, classmates’ addresses, emails, and phones numbers change.
Many of our classmates who listed work emails
have retired; some have moved or gotten rid of
land lines in favor of a cell phone. As you can
imagine, it is difficult to track down our classmates. The best way to keep your information
current so you can be kept abreast of Class of
’65 and other alumni events is to register at the
Wickliffe Schools Alumni Association website at:
(www.WickliffeAlumni.org). Feel free to contact
me if you need help navigating the site or if you
are on Facebook, ‘Friend Me’ to keep in touch.

SAVE THE DATE FOR
UPCOMING REUNIONS
By Darla Myers
Western Caribbean Cruise - February 20th
The Class of ’81 had a creative way to raise
funds for their reunions. Darla Myers planned a
casino bus trip on November 7th, 2015. Over 45
classmates and friends packed the bus to Meadows Casino in Pennsylvania. Participants not only had a great time at the casino but enjoyed
drinks, snacks and chances to win prizes on the
bus. The prizes included a 3D Blue-ray player,
