~i ~i¸ i~!ii~i;~ ~i~ ~i~ ::~i/!/~ wa* ~i¸ '~i'~ 'i By CHARLES GAY After a year of rebuilding, Shelton HighcLimber Head Coach Jack Stark hopes for success this season with a nucleus of sixteen returning lettermen. The Climbers' coaches have had nothing but headaches for the past several years. They have not won a game in 17 starts over the past two years. Stark, now starting his second year as Shelton's mentor, had an 0-8-1 winless season last year as he tried to get the grid program in Shelton on its feet again. Seven of the 16 returning feltwinners started regularly on the varsity squad last season. Four of them started both ways. Senior Cary Settle makes it tough for opposing linemen when he puts his 6'0", 210-pound body to work on both offense and defense. Another senior, Dave Myer, went both ways last season. Myer has gained needed weight in the offseason, which will prove advantageous to him as a lineman. Don Neth, the powerful 175-pound fullback who looked good last year as a sophomore, returns. He also started on the defensive line. One other junior started both offensively and defensively last year. He is Mark Wittenberg, an offensive guard and defensive linebacker who won second team Olympic League By CHARLES GAY Shelton High School's sports program suffered an unfortunate blow when it was announced Monday that the Robert Turner family will move to California next wemk. This will mean the loss of Bob, Jr. from three sports teams this year. Turner has been an asset to Shelton's sports program since his early years. In junior high. Bob turned out for three sports, and lettered in all three. On the gridiron, he was a halfback and linebacker. He also started on the basketball team. His A class record in the broad jump of 19'4½" still stands, one of his many feats in track. As a freshman cinderman, he went to district where we won the pole vault, the broad jump, and his relay team that could have made him triple winner was disqualified. He was named Athlete of the Year at the end of his freshman year. It was only the Start of a great sports career at school. Bob turned out for football in his sophomore year and came up with a broken leg. This not only dampened his football career, but he couldn't start the basketball season until mid-season. His sophomore year was not as outstanding as his junior year, but Bob came on strong on the jayvee squad at the close of his sophomore season. He went out for "his" sport in the spring season, and easily was the number one golfer on the team as a sophomore. His average score on the links - between a 37 and 38. As a junior, Bob repeated his performance as a golfer, but this time shared the number one spot with the pro's son, Rich Walker. He was still as good as ever, though, and was part of the reason Shelton went to the State Golf Meet at the end of the 1970 had a great year on the maples. He started at forward all year, led the club in defensive play, and had the best percentage shooting, 53 per cent. Turner's basketball coach, Terry Gregg, said of Bob, "He was a very fine asset to our program the year that he was in it, and I'm sure that he will be successful season. Bob decided not to go out for football in his junior year, but he t~ = : -- ~ ~ =- =- =-...-~.-.m.~.m.~..I IT WAS LEARNED Monday I BOWL~ NG SEASON I that this Shelt°n Highclimber star, Bob Turner, will move to California next week.

Paul is a returning defensive starter from last year, who also has one year and five pounds on younger Mark. Junior Tracy Armstrong started all year last season in the defensive secondary, and looks like the strongest man in the Climbers' pass protection program. The other starter from scholastically and athletically at the new high school that he attends." Highclimber fans remember Bob's shot with four seconds to go to win the East Bremerton game in Shelton.Gym. Turner was the only returning starter that could have come back for the 1970-71 basketball team. Bob can be described as a "natural" athlete with an intelligent mind both athletically and scholastically. In his freshman, sophomore, and junior years, Bob went out for eight sports and kept a 3.6 grade average. Without a doubt, this athlete will be missed dearly. He was out for football after a year's absence to try to quarterback this season's Highclimber team when he learned that his father had been transferred to Arcata, California. Another promising Turner will also leave with the family. She is Jan, Bob's younger sister, who plays a wicked game of tennis. She finished second in the Olympia City Tennis Tournament recently. Now 17 and a senior this coming year, Bob has lived in Shelton all his life. His father, a Simpson employee, was transferred to Arcata, California, a city of about 14,000, near Eureka.
