Queen Anne Reborn as CondosAlumni Open House Scheduled Aug. 12 By John Hennes ’51

Our beloved high school will see a new life as condominium homes this sum-mer. A special open house will be held at the school on Saturday, Aug. 12,11 a.m. to 3 p.m., to welcome back grads of all years. Grizzlies will have an opportunity to buy into the new Queen Anne High SchoolCondominiums during the initial conversion period before public sales begin laterthis summer, according to Michael Graubard of the conversion team. Queen Anne closed in June 1981, marked by our huge Last Hurrah festival. Itreopened with 139 rental units in 1987, following a $9.2 million remodel by LorigAssociates. The Seattle School District still owned the land and held the lease withLorig. In 2005, using a clause in the lease with the District, Lorig opted to sell theschool to Legacy Partners, a large real estate firm, for about $25 million. The SchoolDistrict will get a payment of 12 percent of the condo sales for this transfer, andwill permanently lose control of the school and site. Although this does not seemlike a very large return for such a valuable location, the agreement made in the mid’80s was considered the best possible for the market at that time. Grizzlies willforever mourn this sequence of events. Grads can take heart in that the building is a designated Seattle Landmark and onthe National Register of Historic Places. The Legacy Partners say that they aredetermined to preserve the historic qualities of the building. Units will go on sale this summer with average prices in the $400,000 range,according to Graubard. The conversion to condos is underway now in a $5 millionto $7 million upgrade. The original front door will be reestablished as the mainentrance. To learn about the condos, visit www.queenannehigh.com or phone (206)282-5300. If you can help out as a greeter or guide at the Aug. 12 alumni event,contact Barbara Nelson at (206) 567-4180 or visit the QAHSAA website atwww.qagrizzlies.org.

From Our QAHSAA President Greetings fellow Grizzlies! It’s a milestone year for our Association,our 25th Anniversary - where have all those years gone? Time passesquickly. It has been way more years than that though, that in my mind andspirit I am still that teenager about to leave the familiar halls of our AlmaMater. I just wish that my mind and body would cooperate with this spiritof mine. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the Summer Picnic, theMagnolia Festival and annual Fall Banquet. I hope that those of you whothink that one of these days you will check out one of these events will infact join us to share the good times and memories. I also have hopes of seeing many of you at the special celebrationplanned by Legacy Partners, the developer converting our school tocondominiums.

Anne Jean Meston’s 1925 senior QAHS Annual saysshe came from John Hay School, belonged to Girls’ Clubfor four years, Fashion Show for three years, was chair-man of Rest Room III, belonged to LiveWire for threeyears, and was nicknamed “Nursie”. Her photo shows a sensible-appearing young womansporting a healthy head of “Roar-ing Twenties” finger waves. Today, the 101-year-old Anne(Meston) McLay is still a livewire,still owns her 100-year-old familyhome on First Avenue North (al-though she’s lived at ColumbiaLutheran Home for three years),and still has coiffed finger wavesin her now-white hair. Most remarkably, she can recallwith astounding accuracy “the wayit was” on early Queen Anne Hill,and recently shared flashbackswith QA Alumni Associationpresident Barbara (Wilson)Nelson, and writer Nancy (Trout)Gould-Hilliard, both from theClass of 1958. “The Avenue was a dirt road inthe ’20s, with scattered houses andstores,” says Anne. “I rememberthe first Queen Anne Theater there,where we watched Fatty Arbuckle, Frances Farmer, cow-boys and Mrs. Matthews playing the piano along with themovies. Friday nights they raffled off baskets of fruit andother merchant donations.” Streetcars and electric trolleys ran on “The Ave” until1941, and the cablemaster “blew his whistle from a littleshack at the foot of the hill,” signaling the counterbalance

would pull the cable car up the steep grade. Grocery storessoon sprung up on The Ave at Galer, Boston and McGrawstreets. Safeway, on The Ave and Blaine, came later. Drug-stores, such as Koerner’s, Standard, Federal, Galer StreetPharmacy, Baker Drug, Kinnear Pharmacy and others de-livered goods to homes. Good thing too, as Anne’s dad, a

Scot in the shipping business, didn’tbelieve in women driving. Ice, milk,letters, fresh eggs, produce and fishalso came to the doorstep, many byhorse and wagon. “We kids couldn’t wait for theiceman, to capture the chips left be-hind for our own pleasures.” Bakeries, meat markets and adime store were other favorites thatcropped up on The Ave over theyears. Anne says she didn’t mindprogress, even when the KIRO,KOMO and KING towers sproutednearby. When her youngest son,Bobbie, got tired of watching tele-vision at neighbors, “we had a bigTV delivered in the Frederick andNelson truck” during the late 1950s. However, “The Ave was betterthen,” she’s quick to add. “Now it’sall restaurants.” She also is disap-pointed in the conversion of QAHS

into a residential facility. “Looks like we could use it againfor the Queen Anne and Magnolia kids. But it’s gone.”She delighted in the recent historic John Hay restorationand its continued use as a school for bilingual and interna-tional students.

Eldest Alumna Continued From Page 5local streets, which she much preferred to rinks, where sheactually met her husband-to-be, John “Scottie” McLay, inthe 1930s. The family attended circuses pitched at the then-open Fifth North and Mercer Street property; and she andher high school chums cheered for the Grizzlies on the DennyField gridiron when they played Broadway, Garfield, WestSeattle, Ballard, Lincoln and Franklin high schools. Extended outings were to Alki on the streetcar, BainbridgeIsland on the Blackball Ferry Line, picnics in the nearby fruitorchards, hotdog roasts over a fire on nearby vacant lots.The family would go to Mount Pleasant (awooded site beyond the cemetery) to cut theirown Christmas tree. While she or her two boys never touchedthe fruit hanging on the nearby orchards, sheadmitted to “stuffing my bloomers with plumsthat had fallen on the ground.” Carnegie Library opened at Fourth Westand Garfield Streets 1914. The Rainier Base-ball Team came to town in the late ’20s andplayed by Rainier Avenue, later in Sick’s Sta-dium. She enjoyed the cafeterias and tea roomin downtown Seattle, and occasional outingsto Uptown. “Magnolia was way too far awayto visit,” she added. As a grade-schooler, Anne would walk thefour blocks from her home up Newton Streetto the historic John Hay School, which openedthe same year as her birth, 1905. Her brotherand sisters also attended this neighborhood school, and twoof them even got to attend the “new brick building addi-tion,” which opened in 1922. When she graduated from John Hay to QAHS, she joined200-some others in her class who came from nearby gradeschools at Interbay, Lawton, Mercer, Coe, West Queen Anne,Warren Avenue, North Queen Anne and Denny. Others trans-ferred from various city high schools, St. Anne’s, Holy Names,St. Nicholas, and Seattle Pacific, among others. She workedat Frederick and Nelson’s on Saturdays, and after gradua-tion, worked 10 years for Sears Roebuck at First AvenueSouth and Lander Street, where she sold and stocked linensand yardage. She says she wasn’t much interested in boys during herhigh school years, and while others learned to Lindy Hopand Charleston, she was more driven by wanderlust. At 16,she went by ship to Alameda, CA., to visit her aunt, VerelRedford (her dad’s sister), for a month. After high school shetook another shipboard trip to Skagway, AK., with her good

friend, Vera Sundee. She took a dare to jump into theicy water along the way, and earned a crate of orangesfor being a good sport. Later in life, Anne visited Glasgow, Scotland, cruisedthe Caribbean, explored Yellowstone National Park, andenjoyed Maui eight times. She remembers paying $12 anight at the Royal Hawaiian. Several of these trips wereas an independent woman, she says. As for the comparison of early and current cultureson The Hill, Anne laments today’s loss of small ameni-ties.

“It seemed friendlier back then” says the101-year-old. “We used to look out forone another. Our kids shoveled theneighbors’ snow or edged their parkingstrips. We took in their papers whengone, or shopped for some when theyneeded it. Mrs. Stone and Webster al-ways would rest on our steps on theirway home from shopping.” Anne did the owner-baker of Stan-dard Bakery a favor once during aworker’s strike when he asked for hertemporary help. She ended up liking itenough to stay 12 years. She also remem-bers the transients coming up from theInterbay trains to ask for food, whichthey did receive at the McLays.“Today, everyone’s doing their own thingand they can’t be bothered so much with

small gestures of kindness.” Back to the “Nursie” nickname Anne acquired atQAHS. She soon learned from her practice experienceat Virginia Mason that it wasn’t a profession for her.However, it was evident from recent rounds at theColumbia Lutheran Home that she’s still an outreachworker. She stops in the halls to acknowledge the otherresidents, admits she tries to “bring some out of theirshells,” and she connects with the international work-ers there who exchange travel tales with her. When asked her secret for longevity and health,Anne suggests “growing up on plain food – especiallycod liver oil, oatmeal mush, oatcakes and mealey pud-ding,” many of which came from her Scottish heritage.She also was known in her youth for climbing utilitypoles, sometimes to retrieve shoes or other thingsthrown up there by the kids, for which she would get apenny or a nickel. “I asked mom once why I couldn’t have pink Continued Page 11
