Mark your calendar for
Saturday, October 6, 2012 for
the QA Alumni Fall Luncheon and
Annual Meeting at the beautiful
Seattle Yacht Club, 11:30 a.m. See

the meeting of Grizzlies new and

program. Take time to stroll through
the Ward Room where scrip for the
bar is available. Cash only please!
You can’t resist stopping by the
popular Raffle Baskets to buy tickets,
hoping you possess the winning
tickets for your favorite baskets. Scan
the Auction Table as you move on
to browse the Merchandise for QA
Grizzly logo wear. Continue on to the
display that Jackie (Moore) Zobrist

luncheon, of by-gone days that bring
a sigh, a smile and maybe a tear for
“I remember when.” No credit cards
please for purchases.
If you have QA/Grizzly treasures,
and are “down sizing” or you feel
it’s time to have someone else enjoy
them, we would like to have them for
the auction or our archives, please
indicate which.

Alumni Picnic Moves to Saturday
by Claudia (Kettles) Lovgren ’65
The annual QAHS summer picnic
will occur on Saturday, August 25,
2012, at Gas Works Park from 11:30
am to 5 pm. A Sunday date was not
available this year.
All grizzlies are invited to
escape their winter dens for a tasty
summer feeding on burgers and
dogs (HOT dogs) at the grill from
Al’s Hamburger Place. Feel free to
bring a salad, casserole or dessert to
paw through, and, if we are as lucky
as last year … there will be SUN!
Don’t think the grizzlies will lose
their appetites if it is the other thing,
and there are large covered areas for
classmates to “ketch-up” and fine
dine. We always get a good turnout,
come and visit with your fellow
Grizzlies. The QA Picnic is open
to all our alums. Your donations
(suggested $5) are needed to help
cover rising park rent and food cost.
The Gas Works Park is at the
north end of Lake Union and parking
is available (Meridian Ave. N. and
N. Northlake Way). For detailed
directions visit www.qagrizzlies.org.
This is our 30th year of awarding
Queen Anne Alumni Association
scholarships. During that time
hundreds of Grizzlies have gifted the
program with donations large and
small. The result is that 439 scholarship
awards, totaling $220,000, have been
provided to Queen Anne grads and
their descendants. All Grizzlies are
indebted to our loyal alums that have
supported the Association all these
years.
To mark our 30th anniversary, the
board of trustees authorized a onetime 30th Anniversary Scholarship
of $1000. Following a careful review
of all candidates, we designated one
of this year’s top achievers, Will
Mittenthal, as our 30th Anniversary
recipient. Will and his family were
present at the spring luncheon to
receive his award.

Hard Times in America
These are hard times for all of us.
We can see it here at the QAHSAA in
the greatly reduced number of alums
who are able to make donations to
the Grizzly cause. As our revenue
decreases we are having to make some
difficult choices.
Our annual participation in the
Magnolia Summer Festival will
be dropped this year. However, our
summer picnic is still on and will
again be held at Gas Works Park, so
weather will not inconvenience our
festivities.
We are informing you of the
close-to-the-bone finances we have
for operating funds. As many of
you know, we rely completely on
donations for our two purposes:
building a scholarship fund for
descendants of Queen Anne High
School alums, which will someday
continue of its own volition; and
covering the costs of the KUAY
production and our alumni events. As
other alumni organizations inform
their constituents of monetary needs,
so do we—the main difference
being that they charge annual fees
for membership in the organization.
Because of our reliance on donations,
we are not bringing in enough revenue
to fully cover the operating costs for
each year, and the scholarship monies
are not available for any other purpose.
We are reviewing other options to
reduce expenses, which may include
reducing the KUAY or eliminating the
spring luncheon.
Thank you for supporting us over
the years, and keep us in mind when
windfalls come your way.

Editor’s Column
by Elizabeth Weeks Pankey '68
Several topics came to mind for this column: my right
hand surgery, welcome back Gen. Peter Chiarelli,
newsletter operating cost donations, articles to John
Hennes, congrats to scholarship winners and the number of
paw prints in the February 2012 issue.
After finishing the February issue, my hands began to
hurt more and more. After painful tests it was determined
I needed carpal tunnel surgery. My right hand surgery
was May 10th and I’m doing much better now. Still have
e.w.pankey, editor
limitations, but that won’t stop me from putting together this
newsletter.
Welcome back, my classmate Gen. Peter Chiarelli (’68) U.S. Army retired.
I am very proud of your service and success in the Army, and that’s coming
from a Navy junior (wink). Hope to see you at the QA 68 Golf Tournament,
July 28th.
With the cost of publishing this newsletter, we need your unrestricted
donations for operating expenses. If each of you sent in $5 for the year it
would nearly cover printing and mailing of your 16 page newsletters. The
QAHSAA has never charged for the newsletter, but we need more alums to
join the generous Grizzly Angels.
Please submit all articles and photos to John Hennes ’51, KUAY editorial
board, historian@qagrizzlies.org by January 4, 2013. My job is layout editor.
John and the editorial board are the true content organizers of the newsletter.
Paw Prints in the last issue equal 20, or 21 if you include the bottom of the
left paw on right picnic bear on page 9.
Acknowledgments cont. from page 2
Claudia (Kettles) Lovgren ’65 for
the poster display of our very first
scholarship winner, Mike Bennett ’79.
Margaret Lahde for her years of
volunteering at events as an honorary
Grizzly.
Finally, our thanks to all those
who have helped our Association to
endure these 30 plus years.
Memorabilia Gifts—Our Thanks to:
Gwen (Durham) Braile ’39 from
Belfair for a copy of the Magnolia
News special edition of 6/3/81 with
the QAHS Closing Commemorative
section.

We’ll
Make Pie
Hey! Does everybody remember the Queen Anne High
School Fight Song?
Queen Anne High School on the hilltop, yes, you bet
we’re here,
And we have our team here with us, nothing do we
fear - rah rah rah!!!
We’ll make pie of any high, oh, that will be a shame,
So fight, Grizzlies, Fight, Fight, Fight, we’ll win this
game!
When we got to the line about “we’ll make
pie” we’d turn to our friends standing next to
us, roll our eyes, and just try to finish the song
without cracking up. We didn’t want to make
pie out of Ballard – we wanted to pitch them
into the canal. We didn’t want to make pie out
of Garfield – we wanted to whack them with
a rolled up newspaper. With the creative minds that we
had going for us, it would have been very easy to come up
with some lyrics that more accurately expressed our true
feelings about those rivalries.
It would have been a lot more affirming to me if we
sang “We’ll stomp the fool out of your high school, oh,
that will be a shame,” Or maybe special words for each
school. How about “We’ll shove smelt up Roosevelt, …”
Or “We’ll coldcock that Sealth Seahawk,…”
You could do stuff like that at the college level. “Bow
Down To Washington” was originally written for the 1915
UW vs. Cal game, and it included the line “We’ll drag
that Golden Bear, from his filthy lair, and they’ll never
find his carcass in the morning.” But if we tried that in
high school even once, it would have been an instant
By Frank Emerson ’66 suspension. Or we would have been expelled. Or even
worse, we would have had to repeat Mister Beale’s math
class.
There was another option to overcome the political
correctness of the school administration, though. And
that was the pep buttons that we sold for the Activity
Room fund. But you had to be subtle, and timing was
everything. We came up with a new slogan for every
game, and after years and years of shaking their heads at
our attempts at originality, the faculty pretty
much stopped paying attention. We sensed
that, and we betrayed that trust. You had
to run into the Activity Room right at the
deadline, make things as hectic and confused
as possible, and get “Tommy” to approve the
request in the uproar (Miss Pauline Thomas,
later Mrs. George Farmer-ed.).
During my senior year alone, we got these buttons
printed up and on the market: “Spay The Bulldogs”,
“Heave On The Beavs”, “Spread The Eagles”, “Convert
The Quakers”, “Give It To The Indians”, “Flush The
Lincoln Logs” !
I’m just trying to get something started here, have some
fun, and turn this into a regular feature. Do you remember
some good stories about those old school rivalries? A
really good button? A prank? If you do, send them to me
at emerson@raincity.com. I’ll help you write them up and
we’ll get some of them into future KUAYs. I’ll make sure
that you get credit for the story.
Then again, if you’re still concerned about the statute
of limitations, we can keep it anonymous.

The KUAY July 2012
With tables full, the QAHS Alumni Association Spring Luncheon was held
on a SUNNY (that’s right) Saturday at the Seattle Yacht Club on May 19,
2012. Alumni Association President Kim Turner ’61 welcomed attendees and
introduced the teachers present, as the association celebrated 30 years of the
alumni scholarship program.
Kerry McMahon ’54 emceed the scholarship celebration. He has guided
the program for most of its 30 years, beginning with 15 scholarships being
awarded in the first five years and growing to 160 given in the last five years.
Michael Bennett ’79 was the first recipient in September
of 1983. Michael is a graduate of Yale Divinity School,
and in his recent letter of appreciation, displayed at the
luncheon, noted that he has been serving as pastor at several
New England churches and has now become the pastor at
First Parish Church in Dover, New Hampshire—founded in
1603!
Lee Monteith ’47, in full marching band uniform and
playing “Pomp and Circumstance” on the clarinet, ushered
in four past and current scholarship recipients. They each

Rev. Michael Bennett ’79
They were:

with gold satin stole), beautifully sang, a cappella, “The Impossible Dream”.
The luncheon, of course, closed with the rest of the musical talent in the
room singing the Queen Anne Fight Song and the Alma Mater.
Special “thank you!” to Glo (Gleason) Holcomb ’46 for again producing
this event and for the table centerpieces and to Ruth (Hansen) Ghormley ’42

The KUAY July 2012
The first was Helen Huycke Hill, my Spanish teacher
through three years of instruction and exposure to a
culture not my own, but one which I still treasure. She
was tall, dark haired, and one could easily picture her
with a lacy mantilla set on her head. She died shortly
after her 91st birthday, surrounded by her family. She is
greatly missed by those of us lucky enough to have been
her students.
The second loss is that of Shuzo Chris Kato, my
chemistry teacher, who was also a well-known sensei
to the many who studied martial arts under his training,
and he was a black belt master of the arts. There were
hundreds of attendees at the memorial service for him
last February after his death from the cancer which he so
nobly fought during the last several years.
Frances (Chapman) Farris ’35 was not only a blazing
star in the alumni association, but gave us the epitome
of “America’s High-School Sweetheart.” She died earlier
this year, and a memorial service for her has yet to occur.
I was lucky to call her friend. She knew my grandfather
and some of my cousins in Walla Walla. Her gifts of time
and energy on behalf of this association are legendary.
She gave us a lot of fun and voiced concerns when we
started to go astray. She is greatly missed.
Stuart Prestrud ’37 was both an alum and a
community leader. Although most of his career was
in banking, he was in the forefront of those whose
generosity is legendary. We had a mutual love of postage
stamps and libraries. The naming of the Queen Anne
Library meeting room in his honor was a timely and right
thing to occur.
David Ishii ’53 was a friend, comrade and mentor
in the world of book collecting and in baseball, fishing
and local history. We had been friends for the better
part of 40+ years, and it was always a joy to visit his
bookshop in Pioneer Square. It was the first bookstore in
which I felt no guilt if I failed to find a book to purchase.
We occasionally met during the SIFF and at other film
venues. His presidency of the Book Club of Washington
in the 1990s was a well-merited and fine term of focused,
friendly stewardship.
The last death is not one whom I knew, but for those
of you who were students in the late 50s at Queen Anne
High: Don Gallacher, teacher at Queen Anne High
School (1957-60), died on May 23, 2011.
Angel Information
Our Association is funded
primarily by donations, plus sales
of merchandise and raffles. We
are unique among alumni groups
in not having paid memberships.
Your gifts are greatly appreciated
and needed not just to provide
scholarships but also to cover the
KUAY, logo merchandise purchases
and miscellaneous expenses. All our
efforts are by unpaid volunteers. In
these difficult times we hope you
can find a way to help the QAHSAA
continue its mission. We especially
need unrestricted donations. All gifts,
whether for scholarships or general
operating costs, are tax deductible, in
keeping with a 501(c)(3) tax exempt
organization. Thank you for keeping
the Grizzly legacy alive.
