COACH LANDON
“Old teachers never lose their class”
We received the following letter from the daughter of teacher/coach
Ed Landon. Mr Landon served at Cleveland High School from 1948 to
1973. He taught history classes as well as coaching football, baseball
and basketball. He was the head football coach from 1954 to 1957.
[Editor’s note: As a player I would like to point out that Coach Landon made
football a lot of fun.]
To CHS Alumni
For those who would enjoy seeing how well my 97 year old dad is looking these days, here’s a photo of him with his little sidekick, Lexi. Dad
was born shortly after the start of WW I and he can still reminisce in
detail about how the Great Depression affected his family and college
years; and his experiences from four different decades at Cleveland.
My sister Marlys and her husband Russ are taking very good care of
him at their home in Madras, OR.
Many thanks to all who have responded to my request for greetings
and comments to him from his former students...it means so much!
Sincerely,
Barbara Landon Doern
[email protected]
Barbara told a story about her dad: Some student had brought some fake vomit to school and put it on his
desk. He walked into the room, looked at it, picked it up and put it in his pocket. The kid who brought it
protested, but he said, “It’s MINE.”
He brought it home, and when no one was watching, he placed it on our brand new carpet in front of the
fireplace. A little later my mom walked into the living room and saw it, and as I remember, she sort of
screamed. Not a “woman in danger of being murdered” scream but a guttural “WHO DID THIS???” scream.
My dad came running and played along with her in her outrage. All of us (4) kids came running and we stood
there with our eyes bugging out, denying having anything to do with it. At that point the cat decided to hide
under the bed. My mom went into the kitchen and returned with nearly a whole role of paper towels in her
hands. She knelt down and scooped up the mess, which of course came up in one piece. At that point my
dad knew the jig was up and cracked his “silly face” — a wry smile that tipped everybody off as to the true
nature of the event. I can still remember how hard my mom laughed when she realized she’d been had.
She too had a very good sense of humor!
A NEW LOOK FOR THE CHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
John Barton ‘54 has stepped down and Dottie Chin ‘74 is the new president of the Alumni Association.
Things have never looked so GREAT !!! Instead of having vacancies on the board of directors, we now have a
surplus of people that want to be involved. If this trend continues then we will likely recommend an increase
in the number of directors at the next annual meeting.
Activities associated with our Association include the following:
• We will have a ceremony at the CHS Memorial Forest on the Friday of this coming Memorial Day weekend
— May 25th — to honor our fallen heroes (see page 4). New restrooms have been added to the facility.
• Our scholarship budget was raised to $10,000 last year and this year to $15,000.
• Our annual golf tournament is planned for this August 4th at Jefferson Park Golf Course.
• We are giving financial support to CHS sports teams with emphasis on helping the teams that are willing

Cleveland football coach
receives state sportsmanship award
Dec. 9, 2011 | Audience: Families, Community, Staff
Ronn Jackson, football coach at Cleveland High School, has
received the 2011 Pacific Northwest Football Officials Association Sportsmanship Award. This award is given annually
to the high school football coach in Washington state that
exemplifies true sportsmanship throughout the season - regardless of the team’s win/loss record.
The Inscription on the plaque says: “Victory is in the Quality of Competition, not in the final score,” a quote from Mike
Marshall, a former major league baseball pitcher.
Football officials across Washington cast their vote for the
award. It was Jackson’s ability to ensure that his players
demonstrate sportsmanship during every game, no matter
what odds, that inspired the Pacific Northwest Football Officials to recognize the entire team.
The award was a surprise to Jackson who was attending the
event to support Clarence Coler, who received the top high
school athlete sportsmanship award.

FEEDBACK AND COMMENT
A NEW LOOK (continued from page 1)
to help themselves.
• We had our first essay contest last fall with cash
awards for the top three contestants.
• Member donations have been conservatively invested and are showing an increase of approximately six percent for the first four months of
this year.
• We have recommended updating the bylaws
of the Association and will vote on them at the
next annual meeting.
• A new fundraiser is planned for October 20 — A
FUN NIGHT OF POKER FOR CHS ALUMNI !!!
In general the board of directors is made up of
younger people than what we’ve had in recent
years. These are your former classmates who have
committed to giving back to the high school that
helped mold them into the people that they are today. Anyone that attended CHS as a student is eligible to serve — all one has to do is apply.
FUNDRAISER: We hope to get it right this time.

The CHS MEMORIAL FOREST
Alumni Aspires to Honor Our War Heroes
The April 1944 edition of the Cleveland Journal carried a lead story reporting that Mr. Imus and Mr. Selby
(vice principal and principal, respectively) were looking for a tract of land to be used as a reforestation project and a memorial for men who lost their lives in WW II. At that time they were looking at two tracts, one
on Vashon Island and one east of Seattle. The eastside location, consisting of 132 acres, was purchased
with money raised by the student body. This site continues to be used for a memorial to former Cleveland
students lost during WW II, Korea, and Vietnam. The names of these fallen heroes are on plaques cast by
CHS metal shop students and attached to Memorial Rock located in the forest. Beginning in 1998, as a Memorial Day event, alumni and students have gathered for a program and “Trek to the Rock” to honor these
War Heroes. [CHS is the only high school in the universe known to have a Memorial Forest.]
Every gathering at the forest has been different. On one Memorial Day, three Blue Angels flew overhead just
as our program was about to begin. That was an unexpected and glorious beginning of the day. On another
occasion the Rolhletter family donated a flagpole that stands on the grounds today. We have had guest
speakers recalling the wars and the effects these wars have had on individuals and families. Drama, music
and language arts students have presented programs reflecting compassion and respect for all who have
served our country. Our ceremony generally includes a rifle squad, the playing of taps, and students involved
in folding of the flag and its symbolic presentation to a surviving relative. It is normally held on the Friday
at the start of the Memorial Day weekend.
Our last speaker (2010) spoke of her uncle from a Japanese Internment camp joining the military and then
losing his life while serving with the 442nd Infantry Regiment during their rescue of the Lost Battalion in
France (October 1942). That day at the Memorial Forest was filled with hardship due to weather and miscommunications but it was rewarding to those who stayed for the program.
Last year, due to construction of new restrooms, our Memorial ceremony was held at Tahoma National
Cemetery. This year we will return to the Forest. We are pleased to announce that CHS Students will be in
attendance with us.
The Trek has not always been easy. Rain has often accompanied us, the trail to the Rock is often a little
muddy, but these problems are minor inconveniences when we consider the fighting conditions experienced
by our honored dead. The Memorial Forest is an important part of our CHS heritage and we hope to see a
large gathering of alumni, students and friends at this Memorial Day ceremony.
Please plan to join us Friday, May 25th at the Cleveland High School Memorial Forest. Our program will start
at 11:00 AM.

Support for our Service Men & Women in Uniform Comes
in Many Forms
By Alison W. Sing ‘64
While working on our 2014 50th Class Reunion for the Class of 1964, I happened
to exchange emails with a former classmate whose story not only touched my
heart but deserves mention in our alumni association newsletter.
For the men and women who don the uniform in the service of our country,
support for them comes in many forms; one such story is a former Marine, Ric
L. Ryan dubbed the “Walking Man of Murphy” — a town nestled in northern
California.
In 1964 on his March 8 birthday, he enlisted in the Marine Corp. After graduating in June he went to Marine boot camp in August and served 13 months in
Vietnam. Ric entered civilian life retiring as an ironworker and correctional officer.
Ric Ryan - c/o ‘64
What makes this story interesting is his dedication in serving and supporting the
men and women in uniform. In 2008, while walking around the county, he saw
a CNN story about “Operation Mend,” where a group of UCLA doctors were giving their time and surgical
skills to fix our injured troops. Where our government promised to make our troops well, these doctors
were dedicated to making our injured servicemen and women look as normal as possible.
Upon hearing this story, Ric began walking in earnest. He started counting the waves as he walked
throughout the county and put 25 cents in a special bank account for our troops for each wave he counted.
Local residents would stop him along the way to donate anywhere from $1 to $100 dollars. A local firm
donated a $1,000.
After logging in 3,345 miles around his county, Ric and his wife, Joanne visited Operation Mend at UCLA
to donate the funds he had raised. One of the doctors was so moved by his effort that he donated an additional $1,000 bringing his total to $6,500.
A long standing desire for Ric was to visit the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. His wish was honored
when a school invited Ric to accompany their 7th and 8th grade class to Washington D.C. “It was a blast”
said Ric.

TREASURER’S REPORT
Treasurer’s Report 11 April 2012
Please recall that the December 2011 Newsletter included a graph of the last three years
of spending. We welcome feedback on our
spending history and future plans. We try
to allocate spending consistent with the coupons we receive.
In 2011 we had alumni participation in the
CHS Memorial Forest Fundraiser (air passenger research study), and the December
2011 Newsletter mentioned our frustration
in collecting the proceeds (they inadvertently went to the High School) In February 2012 we finally received a check for the expected
amount. Thanks again to the participants.
The graph (upper right) shows the growth of our assets in the last three years.
I have prepared the 2011 yearly report. It was presented at the April 24, 2012 board
meeting. It is available from me upon request.
