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

honors at the close of last season.
Brother Paul Wittenberg will
join Mark at the linebacking spots
this year. 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.

Hadley explained that the
