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!).

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.

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 10 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.

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.
