Summer 2016
WSAA Board of Directors
From the Director
Teri Shine, Executive Director, WSAA
Member
Living in Northeast Ohio has
been pretty historic in the last
few weeks. It started with the
UFC Heavyweight champ, Stipe
Miocic. Next came the Lake
Erie Monsters winning the Calder Cup, and the BIG ONE - the
Cleveland Cavaliers becoming
the 2016 NBA World Champions. Social media has personalized these events
with Wickliffe alumni sharing their stories, photos,
and excitement throughout all these sporting seasons. It’s a great feeling to be in a winning city, and
for those alumni who have moved to other parts of
the country, I know you share our joy.

From the Director (Continued from page #1)
SAVE THE DATE FOR
WSAA EVENTS
Save the date for the Ice Cream Social and Train
Rides on Saturday, July 30th from 1-3 pm at Penitentiary Glen. Frank Foti and I picked this date to
coincide with “That 70’s Reunion”. We will have
shorter hours for the train rides and ice cream, so
round up the family and come and enjoy a fun
event. Bob Smith and I will be serving up the ice
cream.
The next WSAA Board meeting
will be on Wednesday, July 27th
at 6:45 pm in the Robert Smith
Development Center (behind
high school).
Our next WSAA Board Meeting will be held on
Wednesday, July 27th at 6:45 pm in the Robert
Smith Development Center. Please join us and see
our wonderful group in action and get involved.
The 2016 WSAA Ice
Cream Social & Train
Rides will be held on Saturday, July 30th at Penitentiary Glen in Kirtland.
This year it is being held
on the same day as That
70’s Reunion. Join us and the Lake Shore Live
Steamers from 1-3pm and take a ride on the
Blue Devil Express.
On a final note, we received two distinct stories
about the origin of our little Blue Devil logo. The
question of its origin was not meant to start an argument but to obtain history about the logo. Both
stories are true from the perspective of the authors, so let us not dispute their authenticity but try
to find evidence to solidify our history. Yes, this is a
challenge for me, as the historian, so lend a hand
and go through all your memorabilia and share
with all the proud Blue Devil logos over the years.
Achievement Hall of Fame Dinner and induction
ceremony will be held at Pine Ridge Country
Club on Thursday, August 25th at 6:00 pm. More
information about how to purchase ticket will be
available soon.

Senior Awards Night 2016
By Jimmy Campbell
On Wednesday, May 11th, 2016, the annual Senior Student Awards Night was held at Wickliffe
High School. It has been a tenet of our mission
from the creation of the WSAA to provide $1000
scholarships to graduating seniors of Wickliffe
High School. Eligible scholarship candidates can
attend a vocational program, technical school,
two year or four-year institution.
Once again, thank you
for your continued
support!

Robert M. Smith
Dedication Ceremony
Over the past 12 years the WSAA has granted
close to $45,000 in scholarships to graduating
seniors and has hosted the reception following
the awards ceremonies for the honorees, families, friends, faculty and administration.
The Robert M. Smith Professional Development
Center was dedicated on May 25, 2016.
It is a multipurpose building located outside the
high school between the gymnasium and the
choir/band rooms. There are three meeting
rooms available.
Bob Smith was celebrated by his former colleagues, current and former Board of Education
members, WSAA members and many friends.
Congratulations Bob!
It gives me great pleasure to announce the
2016 Wickliffe Schools Alumni Association
Scholarship recipients as pictured: Marygrace
Chylinski, Alyssa Johnson, Zachary Hopton,
Jacob Skiba and Christopher Dorazio.
The selection process is always difficult and
challenging; this year we received over 20 applications. I would personally like to thank Teri DiMattia Shine and Mark Cline for an outstanding
job in this year’s selection process.

included several local tournaments and the Great
Lakes Regional state tournament where they were
the only team to defeat the eventual state champions.
Wickliffe High School
Academic Challenge
By Pat Hintz Jewell
Thank you to all of the alumni who donated to the
team to make the trip to Nationals possible! Seven of
the team members were able to make the trip free
due to your generous help. We cannot tell how much
it is appreciated!
Dear Wickliffe Alum,
Words cannot adequately convey the gratitude of the
Wickliffe High School Academic Challenge Team.
Your generous donations have made it possible for
us to pay for the team registration fee, the bus fare,
and the hotel for the whole team. All members are
able to go for free! Not only does this supply the immediate need, your kindness and faith in our team
has given them confidence, joy, and a connection to
previous generations who have roamed these halls.
It means so much to them.
On Friday, June 10, team members Ryan Miller, Russ
Horacek, Tim Zelina, Nick Stankus, Philip Greger,
Hallee Bradac, and Rachel Erich joined other Ohio
teams on the bus to Chicago where they competed in
Saturday and Sunday. The competition is fierce to
even be invited to this tournament, and 41 of the top
teams in the nation arrived, many of them with experience at the national level. Our team took on
every match with focus and joy, showing themselves
to be formidable opponents. Although we did not
make it to playoffs on our first trip, we kept our opponents to low scores, and came extremely close to
winning matches against a couple of teams who finished in the top places at the end.
If you were one of the anonymous donors – I hope
that you see this message and sincerely know how
much this means to us all. For those who gave us
names, the students are preparing thank you notes
for you that will be mailed upon our return. A thank
you note is not enough to show our appreciation, but
please know the depths of our gratitude.
Our team not only showed tremendous breadth of
knowledge (Thank you Wickliffe teachers!), but they
showed great teamwork, sportsmanship, and camaraderie. They attended matches of other Ohio teams
when we had the opportunity to cheer them on. A
final accolade to pass on...on the bus ride home, the
team members who did not graduate this year began
making a list of topics they want to learn for next
year, and ways to practice and prepare for then.
Summer vacation will find them voluntarily learning
new information, and they have asked for more practice time starting in the fall. Our Wickliffe team are an
impressive group, and we can be very proud of them.
Next year, we will be hosting a tournament sometime
during the year. If any alumni are interested in reading questions for it, stay tuned to the alumni email
and this newsletter for details as they become available. We will also have another Alumni Practice Night
where you can practice against our team in order to
help them prepare for Nationals. It was so much fun
this year that we want to do it again. Stay tuned...

PIONEERS 1817-1916
Wickliffe - Rich in History
Although Cleveland was the Mecca for the pioneers, the farmers among them discovered the
soil too sandy in the area of the present Public
Square. William Jones, his wife, daughter and
son-in-law (the Tarbells) had spent six weeks
traveling from Haddam, Connecticut in two covered wagons. After finding Cleveland unsuitable
for farming, they retraced their route on the
Lake Trail (Euclid Avenue) and purchased land
for $5.00 an acre on a knoll near the present
Bishop Road. First they built a double log cabin
for the two families, and then in 1820, William
Jones built a house on Euclid Avenue.
By Rose C. Koryta
As Wickliffe approaches its bicentennial in 2017,
Wickliffe’s early beginnings become a topic of
conversations. In the next several newsletters,
a few historical stories and facts will be added to
get us all in the spirit.
THE GROWTH OF WICKLIFFE
The Area
The original inhabitants of Northeastern Ohio
were the Iroquois, Huron, Seneca and Erie Indian tribes. Wickliffe’s Middle School is located
on the site that once was Indian Wigwam Land.
Green Ridge Golf Course was Jones’ Woods and
prior to that the land was an Indian burial
ground. Around 1840, just as Lake County was
being formed, the last of the original inhabitants
died, devoured by wolves so the story goes.
As with everything, once someone ventures into
the unknown, many people follow. Names of
other early families include White, Merrill, Arnold, Mosher, Taylor, Lloyd, Fuller and Eddy.
Eighteen-twenty brought Wickliffe’s first
“building boom” with the new residents building
their homes and the Lloyd Tavern being built as
a stagecoach stop on the Cleveland-PainesvilleUnionville run.
Lake tempered air and good soil provided an
ideal combination for nurseries and orchards.
However, the sale of the land by the state of
Connecticut to the Connecticut Land Company
was under question for a short time, and prospective settlers waited for the legal reassurance
that any land they bought from the Company
would be really theirs. With this assurance, the
trek to the “Western Reserve” began, and Moses
Cleveland’s village at the mouth of the Cuyahoga
River became the destination of most of the pioneers.
Range 1, Parcel No. 9 of the Connecticut Land
Company’s “ Western Reserve” was originally
titled in the name of Charlton, changed to Chagrin in 1815 and later to Willoughby Township.
Planners of the “Reserve” laid out the tracts to
be almost square in shape and to cover approximately four square miles. To this day Wickliffe
conforms to this original Western Reserve concept of the ideal size for a community.

Wickliffe-Rich in History continued from Page #5
In 1885 Chester Rush
opened a grocery store and
Post Office.
Rush had a
partner named
“Waite” and the
sign over the
door read
“Rush and
Waite”. In 1910
it became
Mean’s grocery
store and Town
Bar after that.
Bricks for the Tavern were made on the property; the window sills and doors were hand
carved, and the front was built on felled trees.
Over a century later, when the building was demolished, the bark was still intact on these
“foundation” blocks. A ballroom occupied the
second floor of the Tavern. It is interesting to
note how liquor was sold in those pioneer times.
It could not be sold by liquid measure; instead it
was sold by the yard! Logs a yard long were
whittled out to be used as the vessel of measurement. Everyone certainly could say that their
liquor was “aged in the wood”.
Uncle David Hutchinson operated the first post
office in 1820 and kept the mail in a drawer of a
washstand. Mail stagecoach service between
Cleveland and Painesville made postal service
possible. The trip from one terminus to the
other took eighteen hours. One of the first
names for the settlement was Mosesville after
two bachelor brothers who had a sawmill. It
wasn’t until the 1840’s, under President Tyler,
that an official post office was established in the
settlement, and it was named after President Tyler’s Postmaster General, Charles Wickliffe. The
first official Wickliffe Postmaster was Silas A.
Vorce who took office July 3, 1843.
Wickliffe
Celebrates Bicentennial in
2017
By Dave Krych
If you are interested in helping with the Bicentennial plans, the committee meetings are held
on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00
p.m. at the Senior Community Center on
Worden Rd. Please contact David Krych at
dkrych@cityofwickliffe.com.
Another contact with surrounding communities
was a plank road which extended from Euclid
Village to Bishop Road and was one of the first
toll roads in the area, operating until 1897.
Possibly the extension of the interurban lines to
Willoughby in 1895 and Painesville in 1896
caused the demise of the toll road. Interurban
riders even had a parking lot for their horses behind the Rush and Waite general store. For a
set fee, the horses were watered and fed while
their owners used more mechanized means of
transportation.
The City of Wickliffe will be celebrating its Bicentennial July 15, 2017 with the possibility of
other dates added. Dave Krych, WSAA board
member and Wickliffe Council President, is looking for any old photos of Euclid Avenue to display for their event. The pictures would be
greatly appreciated; please send them to Dave
today.

Memory Lane Treasures
By Teri Shine
The Blue Blaze adopted its new masthead in the

rings. The Blue Blaze thanked “Don Baur, Ralph
Birnbaum and Mr. Stocker for their efforts and
talents in bring this idea into reality.”

The WHS band performed “Wycliffe Variations”
May 9, 1969. It was guest conducted by its composer, Dr. Paul Whear. “Dr. Whear became interested in Wickliffe while traveling in England,
where he studied John Wycliffe, a 14th century
church reformer, and became curious as to the
connection between the names. The composition
is a variation on a melody of an 18th century
hymn.”

Fun fact from the 1934
Wickliffe High School Yearbook
The High School Band was first organized in
1925 with sixteen, boy only, members. Girls
were permitted to join a few years later. The
1934 Wickliffe School Band consisted of 6 clarinets, 1 oboe, 7 cornets, 1 trombone, 5 saxophones, 1 baritone, 1 alto, 2 tubas, 2 sousaphones, 2 trap drums, 1 bass drum, and 1 cymbal. The band consisted of 19 boys and 11girls.

I have learned that you are never too old to try
something new. I didn’t even start singing until
I was in my 50’s. I only wish I would have
started in my younger days because I am having
so much fun and meeting so many new people. Now I enjoy singing every chance I get, so
don’t limit yourself no matter how old you
are. We hope to see you on July 30th at “That
70’s Reunion”!

Stay Connected
By Phyllis Sevin
Time sure passes by quickly! It is hard to believe my 40th high school reunion is around the
corner.
Speaking of reunions, I wanted to
share how excited I am that my acoustic duo,
Flashbaxx, will be performing some of our songs
at “That 70’s Reunion” on July 30th. I will be on
vocals, and the other part of the duo, Bill Rebol,
will be on guitar, harmonica, and vocals. While
you are visiting and catching up with classmates,
we hope that you also stop and listen to catch
up with some other old favorites like Stevie
Nicks, Bob Dylan, the Everly Brothers, Johnny
Cash, and much more. Since it is a 70’s reunion,
we will bringing you back to that era’s popular
tunes.
Many retired teachers and staff from Wickliffe
Elementary School continue the friendships they
formed during their careers. Four times a year
retired members of the teaching and nonteaching staff gather for lunch at area restaurants.
During these times, stories filled with
laughter, and sometimes sadness, are shared
amongst the retirees. Reminiscing about the
"good old days" and shared experiences is a
common denominator of these lively luncheons. Everyone looks forward to seeing one
another to catch up on stories about families,
vacations, adventures, or just to share a good
book. One thing is always assured – we still enjoy one another's company!
We will have our promotional materials and upcoming events available in case you want to join
us at one of our gigs…which might just turn into
a mini-WHS reunion at the same time; wouldn’t
that be fun!

2016 inductees to the WSAA
Achievement Hall of Fame
By David Hintz
Five new alumni will enter the 2016 WSAA
Achievement Hall of Fame at a special dinner
and induction event taking place at Pine Ridge
Country Club in Wickliffe on Thursday, August
25, 2016. The evening starts at 6:30 p.m. with
dinner served at 7 p.m. The inductions will take
place immediately after dinner.
Thomas Mark Foss (Class of 1977)
“The committee for the Achievement Hall of
Fame reviews nominations submitted through
the web site or delivered to us for consideration.
We received very strong submissions this year
and it wasn’t easy to get down to our five recipients,” said WSAA Chairman, Dave Hintz.
“Ultimately, the 2016 inductees should make all
alumni proud of being from Wickliffe.”
Tom has been a community volunteer for nearly
40 years. He’s lived in Wickliffe his entire life and
has been a volunteer in organizations such as
the Knights of Columbus, American Legion and
Wickliffe City Club. His accomplishments include
20 years of raising money for veterans’ causes,
securing and delivering gifts and funds to needy
families during the holidays and beyond, and
quietly uses his own van to take elderly and disabled members of the community to church each
Sunday over many years. He does all of this
without fanfare or by seeking attention in any
way. He’s worked at Mayfran in Mayfield Heights
for 26 years.
Here are the 2016 inductees:
William Reid (Class of 1960)
Bill worked for more than 50 years in service of
the City of Wickliffe in all phases of government
and employment. Starting as a park/camp counselor he worked his way up to serve as mayor
and safety director serving three terms (1979 –
1985). In between and after, he served as councilman at large, city council president and councilman. He also was hired as the Tax Commissioner ‘Deputy Finance Director, a position he
held until his retirement in 2001. Bill’s community work included involvement with the Wickliffe
Jaycees, Lake Country Junior Olympics, Environmental Commission, Library Foundation Board
and has donated over 250 pints of rare AB blood
to the Red Cross over 50 years.
Charles Frank (Faculty)
Chuck was the high school band director from
1959 to 1972. He built the Blue Devil Marching
Band into a phenomenon that garnered regional
and state recognition that still lasts today. He
formulated the now-famous Aquarius halftime
routine in 1970 and it’s still a main staple of the
band’s performances. He directed the Concert
Band/Wind Ensemble that completed and received Superior ratings. Chuck organized the
Lakeland Civic Orchestra, Lakeland Civic Jazz
Band and Summer Jazz Camp. He was an executive director of the Willoughby School of Fine
Arts, director of the Madison Fine Arts, past
president of the Lake County Music Educators
Andy Chiodo (Class of 1963)
Andy’s career as a marketing manager, advertising agency principal and independent consultant
has seen him help make over 60 of the top 100

Achievement Hall of Fame continued from Page #9
and served on the Arts & Culture Commission.
He was inducted into the Wickliffe Community
Hall of Fame in 2004 and continues to teach at
Lakeland Community College.
Robert Smith (Faculty)
Bob joined the Wickliffe City Schools in 1973 and
served throughout the system until his retirement in 2008. His career began as a biology
teacher and he went on to become assistant
principal, principal and then arguably, the most
popular superintendent the school system has
ever had. He was also a dedicated football coach
and wrestling coach during his time at the
schools. Bob was one of the founders and performers of the high school talent show, starting
at its inception in 1978 until his retirement. Anyone around at the time tells stories of Bob, as
superintendent, being outside each day as the
busses dropped off and picked up the kids at the
schools, regardless of the weather. He was instrumental in founding the WSAA in 2004 as he
pitched it to several alumni and got the group
together to form the chapter.
Wickliffe’s Family
Resource Center
Wickliffe City Schools in partnership with local
and regional businesses, non-profits, and community organizations is planning the creation of
a Family Resource Center. The key to a successful community is having strong, healthy
families that have the opportunity to provide
their children with a great educational environment and well-founded public services. The
Family Resource Center will support community
success by providing educational and enrichment
services, health care services, and social and
counseling services. The plan will build alliances
and partnerships that will ensure the Center’s
sustainability well into the future. Wickliffe’s
plan to reinvent public education in the city has
a broad range of stakeholders and support of
the superintendent, the Board of Education, the
mayor, city and state governments, leaders in
business, and civic organizations.
