Annual QAHS Alumni PicnicSunday, Aug. 21! Other QA

Events Scheduled Too! See Page 16 for details.

Following the lead of the British ladies’ club charity fundraiser docu-mented in the movie “Calendar Girls”, some of the ladies of the Class of ’54produced and sold a successful 2005 scholarship fundraising calendar star-ring 11 Grizzly ladies, one husband and a grizzly bear . These fearless class-mates, tastefully and all in fun, exposed themselves, along with carefullyselected props, to raise money for the new Class of 1954 Scholarship, to beawarded annually by the Queen Anne High School Alumni Association. The goal was to sell the calendars at the 50th reunion last August, butonce the word leaked out about their project, orders poured in and almostall of them were sold before they were published. Additional copies wereprinted, but the demand outstripped the revised supply. Interestingly enough, the reunion committee is continually receiving re-quests from classmates who want to appear in future years’ calendars.

The secu-rity to see the Liberty bell and State Housein Philadelphia are more stringent than atthe airports. Weather cooperated most ofthe trip, and seeing the great treasures andgreat homes, including those of theDuPont family, made for a memorabletrip.

“Spend your money and sleep in the streets!” Mr. Henkel’s favorite economic advice to Queen Anne boys signingup for gym baskets. Variations included, “Spend your money so Harry (Truman) doesn’t get it,” or “Spend your moneyand keep Governor (Langlie) in office.” Family advice included, “Boys, don’t get married. Marriage will give you a badback.” These quotes from Daniel Ursic ’67, Dick Bringloe ’56, Nil Molvik ’51 and Peter Freeman ’65, are a fewof the responses we received from our August 2004 story on Coach Erv Henkel. Every boy who attended QueenAnne from 1926 until 1964 has a Henkel story.

But who was he? Erwin Henkel was born Jan. 20, 1902 in Waunaukee, Wisconsin, the childof Charles and Carolyn Henkel. He grew up there, but moved into town togo to Madison High School in Madison, Wisconsin, class of 1919. He even-tually attended the University of Illinois and graduated in 1926 with a B.S.in Physical Education. While at Illinois he played on football teams withRed Grange and spent his summers playing semi-pro baseball in the Madi-son area. His college baseball coach was the well known Carl Lundgren. Henkel, known as “Erv”, arrived at Queen Anne High School in the fallof 1926. In the spring of 1927 he replaced Doug Kirk as baseball coach andcontinued in that role until 1938, except for 1936 when Lou Hull was base-ball coach, before his leaving for Roosevelt. During Coach Henkel’s timethe Queen Anne baseball team went undefeated in 1934, the only time inQueen Anne’s history, and won the city title. His players over the yearsincluded Edo Vanni, John Cherberg, Reno Denini, Mike Budnick, Johnand Felix Penso, Bob Hornig, Carl Carulli, Joe McNamee, Bob Staggand many others. In 1939 John Cherberg took over the baseball team andCoach Henkel “retired” to teach gym and coach intramurals. He retired fromteaching in 1964. Henkel and his wife Cora lived at 15 W. Smith St. for over 30 years,where they raised their two children, Harold ’51 and Janet Gaull ’53. Theyspent their summers at a cabin on Vashon Island. Following his wife’s deathMr. Henkel lived alone for a time on Vashon, but spent his final years atQueen Anne Manor at First Ave N. and Crockett St. (the former Children’sOrthopedic Hospital). He died of a heart attack May 10, 1988 at age 86.

Beyond the biography lies the real Erv Henkel. A huge and intimidating, 6 ft-4 inch man with a booming voice thatfilled the halls of Queen Anne without his trying, Henkel was a pivotal figure in the life of every boy at Queen Anne.A farm boy from turn-of-the-century Wisconsin, he lived a simple life, expected every student to do their best andtolerated no phoniness.Dick Tenney ’39 remembers, “At the beginning of my second year at Queen Anne, I was studying away in study hall. Henkel, insuit and tie, was going up and down the rows signing people up for gym classes. When he got to me he asked what gym class I Continued Next Page

Erwin Henkel Continued from Page 5wanted to sign up for. Knowing little else, and having taken it the year before, I said, ‘General Gym.’ Henkel rose to his full 6 ft-4inches and in a voice that could be heard down on Queen Anne Avenue, roared ‘General Gym!!!’ Being unable to sink through thefloor, I instantly understood that he did not think I should take General Gym again. In zero time I signed up for wrestling. He wasa fine wrestling coach, too. Henkel was one of my favorite teachers at Queen Anne—intimidating, to say the least, at first, but a fineand understanding coach in the long run. I loved to watch his baseball teams, both in practice and in games. He really pushed hisplayers to get the best from them.”

Donald S. Williams ’62 learned a lesson from Henk: “I was in Coach Henkel’s PEclass in the 7th grade (1957) and my parents had sent a note to keep me out of PE fora day due to having a cold. But Mr. Henkel didn’t agree. Although I didn’t suit upfor PE that day, Mr. Henkel found something else for me to do. It seems that he hada set of hockey tickets waiting at will-call at the old Ice Arena on Mercer St., and that’swhere he sent me. PE lasted only one hour and it was a long hike down the hill to theIce Arena, but I followed his orders and set off. When I arrived at the Ice Arena theticket sales people had never heard of Mr. Henkel and had no tickets for him. Ifaithfully hiked back up the hill, made it to the gym just within the one hour limit andreported the situation to Mr. Henkel. It turns out that Mr. Henkel never had any ticketson order. He just wanted to make the point that no one should get away with notattending his PE class. I learned a good lesson that day: ask questions before takingorders!!!” Other lessons in life from Henk include, “Five minutes of pleasure…ninemonths of pain and sorrow…is it worth it boys?”Gary Christopher ’67 sent this in and noted, “The first few times we heard this wedidn’t know what he was talking about. It was only after we boys conversed with eachother that we figured it out.” Christopher had a not atypical introduction to the leg-endary gym teacher in 1961; he continues, “The first time I encountered Henkel wasduring my first week in the 7th grade. This was when the boy’s gym was in the east sideof the main building, in the basement. I was getting ready for PE and this very largeman came into the aisle of lockers where I was changing, grabbed me by my tee-shirt,lifted me off my feet, banged me against the locker, and started yelling at me forsomething. Then he looked at me and said ‘Oh ... you’re not the right kid’ and let mego. He went to the next aisle, found the boy he was looking for and proceeded toscare the living daylights out of that kid! He had already done that to me, and I wasn’teven the one in trouble!”Dick Bringloe ’56 wrote, “Miss Ogrosky enjoyed telling of her recognizing his(Henkel’s) last name as German and asking him his first name—which, with tongue incheek, he said was Fritz. She said she’d thought it was that, for years. Odd that if he

had an Olympic Gold Medal in the Straight-Faced Leg-Pull, he never mentioned it…but that’s Henk for you. Because of hisgruffness I didn’t like him AT ALL at first, in 8th grade or for some time after. But, at the Open House in (I think) my sophomoreyear, my mother wanted to make the detour WAAAAAAAY down to the gym to see him too. He explained to her that Gym washard for me because (as my classmates will recall) I wasn’t exactly the biggest, strongest kid in class. He didn’t seem to hold thatagainst me, in fact we three sat in his office a long time that evening while he showed a quiet, thoughtful, sympathetic side ofhimself, which I’d have never figured he had. While I still don’t figure every gruff exterior conceals a heart of gold, he taught methat at least a few do. “Much later, at our 30th Class Reunion we urged him to get up and ‘Say A Few Words’. He did, giving usa long Current Events Harangue, just like he sometimes did in Gym Class. It must’ve seemed boring and pointless to the women,but us guys had us a great wallow in nostalgia, feeling like we were back in Henkel’s Gym.”Norm Engstrom ’43 writes, “One morning we were lined up in the gym, roll call, I guess. Henkel was standing in front of ustossing a softball up and down. The two boys next to me were talking, not paying any attention to Coach Henkel. I turned my headto see what they were doing and—Bang—Henkel’s softball, which he threw at them, hit me in the side. I picked up the ball and said,‘Darn you, Henkel, that hurt.’ Walking towards him like I was going to throw the ball at him, he put up his arms, waving them infront of his face, saying, ‘The innocent have to suffer with the wicked, the innocent have to suffer with the wicked.’ I threw the balldown and got back in line. After that we became good friends.”Author’s Note: Erwin Henkel’s influence at Queen Anne has generated many more stories than we have space for at this time.Additional stories and a wrap-up will be carried over to the February 2006 issue.

A slim, 27 year-old Erv Henkel setsthe tone for his 1929 QA baseballsquad.

Gertrude Tormey was one of the three best teachers I everhad in school. The others were Florence Ludlow who taught4th grade at F.H. Coe School, and Giovanni Costigan, profes-sor of history at the University of Washington. Miss Tormey was a tall, almost statuesque woman. She hadlovely, large brown eyes, brown and gray hair which she woreswept back to reveal a face that radiated warmth and humor.Her classroom at Queen Anne was filled with senior studentsseated in double, old-fashioned, traditional wooden desks. Our first assignment was to read Charles Dickens’ “A Taleof Two Cities.” Under Miss Tormey’s instruction, the entire storycame to life. The excitement, mystery and drama of the FrenchRevolution became vivid happenings to us. The great sacrificemade by Charles Darnay and the loathsome behavior of Ma-dame La Farge as she methodically knit the names of guillo-

tine victims into her workwere actual, rather thanimaginary happenings. Our second assignment forthe semester was to studyShakespeare’s “Hamlet”. Thatwas an unforgettable experi-ence! We read the play aloudand Miss Tormey explainedthe meanings of unfamiliarterms and words, elaboratedthe bard’s images and oftenportrayed the various rolesherself. I think she must havebeen a repressed thespian atheart because she so readilytransformed herself into the

play’s most noteworthy characters. I can remember her “sweep-ing” up to the front of our classroom from the back door asif she were Queen Gertrude entering a roomful of courtierswith Hamlet’s evil uncle. She made us understand and feelHamlet’s soul-searching in his most famous soliloquies. We couldappreciate his determination to “bear the ills (he) had” ratherthan “fly to others that (he) knew not of.” When Ophelia wasdrowned, we felt Hamlet’s sorrow. When Polonius lecturedhim, we could empathize with his impatience. When thegravedigger unearthed the skull of Yorick, we had, perhaps,our first thoughts of our own mortality. One of the class requirements was to memorize (word,spelling and punctuation perfect) 100 lines from the play. Irecall mastering that assignment during evenings when I wasbabysitting. It was a hard task then, but one that has blessed

Fortunately for us, Laurence Olivier’s film version of “Ham-

By Ada Lou (Williams) Ross ’49Remembering One of the BestQAHS’s Miss Tormey

let” came out that same year. Ourentire class attended and it was ajoy to be able to follow thatlandmark movie with under-standing and appreciation! After “Hamlet”, we weregiven the choice of studying oneof Shakespeare’s other plays oranother literary work such as anovel. We voted overwhelminglyfor more Shakepeare! Thus ourthird assignment was “Macbeth”.Miss Tormey’s approach to thiswork was much the same. How-ever, I believe she laid a stron-ger historical groundwork for us.Once we were into the play, Macbeth’s ambition and LadyMacbeth’s madness captured our attention. Again, we were askedto memorize 100 lines ... and we did! And, once more, we wereable to view the play on screen, only this time in Orson Welles’film version. As I recall, we felt Welles was more melodramaticthan Olivier and that his film seemed to have been made some-place where everything, even the atmosphere, was dark and dank.But who could forget Welles’ voice or the self-doubt that

I had at least one more occasion to hear Miss Tormey speak.She addressed a group of students at a college organization towhich I belonged. She talked about her travel and teaching ex-periences in the Orient. I remember two ideas from that talk.She spoke about the Asian artist’s love of placing the colorspink and bright orange next to each other. This, she explained,was because in both China and Japan, the natives are used toseeing pink cherry trees blooming next to red-orange templesevery spring. Therefore, this color combination is very beautiful

She also compared Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Accordingto her, the Chinese are most interested in the taste of the dishesthey prepare, while Japanese cooks try very hard to make theirdishes look beautiful! Thus, the Japanese are apt to concentrateon “presentation” while the Chinese focus on f lavor. It’s been well over 50 years since I actually heard Miss Tormey,but in my mind her rich, low voice and unassuming but impres-sive figure are very real. She was wonderful and her teaching hasbeen a lifelong treasure for me!
