MEMO fro1n our Club Preside11t
THE new year was off to an exciting start with a fabulous celebration at the country club on New Year's Eve, fol
lowed by a few short hours of sleep and then on to the Club's 84th Annual Hike and Dip. Again this year, over four hundred Olympians, sons and guests, participated in the traditional hike along the Great Highway and the all-awakening dip in the always chilly Pacific surf. As usual, internal fortitude prevailed-I think because of the anticipated fizzes and hot breakfast awaiting our brave troops at the country club. In any event, it was a splendid way to start the new year, even though by noon I was not only ready for the Rose Bowl but some sleep as well.
The highlight of the Hike and Dip breakfast for me was the opportunity to introduce your new President for 1977, Dave Dawson, and his fellow officers ... Joe Zablocki, Vice President; Dave Dooley, Secretary, and Bud Scollin, Trea-surer. If New Year's Day was an indicator of the year to come, it looks as though enthusiasm and success will prevail
for them. In another way, New Year's Day was a sad one as it marked the end of my term as President and an end of my three-year career on the Board of Directors. This past year was a thrilling experience for me and there is no doubt that my fellow officers feel the same way. I congratulate them for a fine job and especially for their support. To Kenny Koch, Vice President; George Detweiler, Secretary, and Paul Hazelrig, Treasurer, I say thank you, and may your New Year be a happy one.
1977 will bring many challenges to the new Board, all of which I am sure will be handled with ease. One thing is for certain ... the future and success of the Club is really in the hands of you, the membership. Your participation and support is most vital.
In closing, I would like to say that serving you was one of the finest things that ever happened to me. The memories will be cherished forever.

LUCETI-HEALY WIN BEST BALL TOURNEY WITH LOW GROSS 134 Jlfarenda-W are take low net honors in playoff with Hall-1\ticKeel
by Bill Sherman
JACK LUCETI teamed with Ray Healy to win The Olympic Club's Second
Annual Best Ball Championship with a nine under par 134. Last year's champions, Bob Callan and Dan James, were four shots back at 138. Pete Stocker and Mike Butler tied with Marshall Gleason and Skip Thompson at 140 for third place.
Two teams tied for low net with torrid 121 s. They were Ron Marenda-Bil I Ware and J. Robert Hall-Bruce McKee!. Two shots back at 123 were Paul Horwath, Sr. and Mel McCracken. Four teams tied at 126 (last year's winning score) and four more at 129.
The Most Improved Score Awards were given to the teams that had the best comeback from the real down first day. Joe Emerson and Les Healy joined Courtney Kurtz and Mike Ferro for honors on the Lake Course, while Frank Cadman and Pete German shared Ocean Course honors with Steve Bajza and Pat Murphy.

The Seniors' Dinner Dance at the end of November signalled the end of another banner year. Special tribute was given to the three departing members of the Board of Governors-Charley Reardon, Gene Smith and Fred Wynne. Each of these gave generously to many Senior events over the past three years. New members elected to the Board are Bruce Fratis, Easy Ed Hoover and Bill Tradewell. The Seniors will elect a slate of officers for 1977 from the Board at their next meeting.
The 1976 golf calendar presented its share of exciting events and outstanding individual performances. The first note•• worthy event of the season was a lifetime ace scored by OLYMPIAN Director John Laurie. In his usual modest manner, Laurie explained:
"It was just a great golf shot. Period."
Next came a series of single 'great shots,' all fired by burley Mike Butier as he belted a seven under-par 65 on the Ocean course. This was the best member effort of the year!
Dick Canady one-putted nine greens on the Lake Course in the St. Patrick's Invitational to fire a career four underpar 67. You may recall Dick used a brand new putter given to him by his wife for the occasion, with nary a practice stroke. In the same event, John Hurd won honors on the Ocean with his all-time best score, a one under par 71.
Tom Culligan (TJC-III) won the O.C. Club Championship with a thrilling 2 up victory over Warren Richter. Tom's last O.C. Championship was 1967.

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE I -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
a) BASIS OF RECORDING INCOME AND EXPENSE. The Club records its revenues, costs and expenses by the accrual method of accounting. Membership clues are billed in advance and recognized as income in the applicable membership period. C'ost5 and expenses relating to products sold and services rendered are charged against income at the time the related revenue is earned.
b) INVENTORY VALUATION. Merchandise inventories held for sale are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
c) INVESTMENTS. Investments are shown at cost. Bond discount is amortized. Gains or losses from disposition are recorded at the time of sale or other disposition.
cl) BUILDINGS, IMPROVEMENTS, FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT. Depreciable assets are carried at cost less accumulated clepr;:ciation. Depreciation on buildings and related building improvements is based on the estimated remaining useful lives of the respective buildings. Depreciation on the other assets is computed by the straight-line method based on useful lives.
e) LINEN, TABLEWARE AND OTHER. Linen, silverware, china and glassware are inventoried and valued at a percentage of most recent cost depending on usage and other factors.
f) PENSION COSTS. The Club provides retirement benefits under a non-qualified pension plan for non-union employees by funding pension costs accrued. Prior service costs are amortized over a forty year period. See Note 4 regarding a proposed qualified plan which has been submitted for approval to the Internal Revenue Service. Contributions made to various union pension funds are made according to applicable union contracts.

NOTE 4-PENSION PLAN:
. The total expense charged to operations to provide for pens10ns for employees not covered by union agreements amounted to $71,130 for 19'.6 and $67,68~ for 1975. These amounts represent normal pens10n costs and mterest on unfunded past service cost.
Employees who retired prior to January 1, 1975, are covered by a non-qualified pension plan. These retirees will continue to re~eive pension payments out of current earnings. The actuanally computed value o~ vested benefits of these pensioners at October 1, 1975 is $323,452. Such date being the most recent computation date.
A plan meeting the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to cover current employees has been submitted to the Internal Revenue Service for approval. The actuarially computed value of assigned vested benefits for current empl.oyees of $181,549 exceeds the pension fund by $43,509. The pens10n fund of $138,040 shown in the balance sheet as "restricted cash-pension fund" will be transferred to the plan's trustee when the plan becomes qualified.
Other pension expense consisting of contributions to union plans amounted to $51,367 and $47,611 for the years ended September 30, 1976 and 1975, respectively.

$50,319 12,000
$62,319 (2,319)

Based on its audit of 1971 and 1972 federal tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service has proposed to revoke the Club's exempt status. The Service is contending that the Club is not operated exclusively for non-profit purposes since the Club's garage operation constitutes a commercial competitive business. The dispute is currently under review by the National Office of Internal Revenue Service.
Management is of the opinion that any adjustments which may ultimately be determined will not materially affect the Club's financial position. NOTE 6-COMMITMENTS:
Non-cancellable lease commitments at September 30, 1976, provide for the following amounts to be paid over the periods shown: Years ending September 30 :

THE annual Olympic Club Invitational Handball Tournament, run
last year in November, was a resounding success, with 124 premier players entered. Competition was predictably intense over a three-day stretch.

and floor manager Bob Hassing. They certainly deserve the kudos of all Olympians.
Jim Thompson of the Fresno Y won the Open Singles title when he beat Golden Gate Park's Bruce Meneken, 21-9, 21-19. Meneken had reached the finals with a semi-final 21-16, 21-8 win over Pete Colichidas.
The Open Doubles crown was captured by Mike Kelly and Mike Treacy, representing Golden Gate Park, in a stirring win over Jeff and Jay Capell, the Club's own newly-crowned doubles champions, 13-21, 21-10, 21-7.
Semi-finals in this category produced some superbly-played matches: Kelly and Treacy over Bob Brady and Henry Chaparro, 19-21, 21-18, 21-14; the Capells over Mike Dunne and Rich McGuire, 21-18, 21-19.

GEM SOCIETY
BIRTHSTONE LISTS
By now, everyone is familiar with the regular Birthstone list of gems. According to the American Gem Society, this list was finally approved by the jewelry industry in 1952. Major changes from previous lists consisted of adding Alexandrite as a choice for June, and replacing Lapis Lazuli with Zircon for December. For your convenience, here it is again:
January-Gamet; FebruaryAmethyst; March-Aquamarine or Bloodstone; April-Diamond; May
Emerald; June Pearl, Alexan-drite or Moonstone; July-Ruby; August-Peridot or Sardonyx; September-Sapphire; October-Opal or Pink Tourmaline; NovemberTopaz or Citrine; December-Turquoise or Zircon.
In addition to this list, there are also birthstones for the Week Days. They are: Sunday-Topaz; Monday -Pearl or Rock Crystal; Tuesday-·Ruby or Emerald; Wednesday -Amethyst or Lodestone; ThursdaySapphire or Carnelian; Friday -Emerald or Cat's Eye; SaturdayTurquoise or Diamond.
Besides giving you this bit of gem lore, it also pleases me to tell you of my Re-appointment as a member of the American Gem Society. This hon~r is awarded to comparatively few Jewelers in America. It is given on the basis of gemological proficiency and strict business ethics. Furthermore, it must be re-won each year. Needless to say, we are most pleased to be able to display the emblem of the AGS in 1977.

Marie and Judge Ray Arata attended the National Conference of Metropolitan Courts in Philadelphia. They were guests at the elegant and gracious Hotel Bellevue-Stratford, which unfortunately had to close its doors due to the adverse publicity associated with the mysterious "legionnaires" disease. In addition to enjoying the accommodations of this stately 72-year-old hotel, they took many tours in this historic city, including the 6,000-acre Fairmont Park, which was aglow in autumn foliage.
Virginia and John Egan celebrated our Bicentennial by taking a nostalgic trip to their hometowns in Chicago. Then they visited with their daughter, Mary, and her husband Capt. Henry J. Hogan in Maynard, Mass. The familv all traveled together, enjoying the autumn display in Vermont, sightseeing in the Boston area and then driving up to Maine.
On the other side of the world, Tyke and Ken Glaser were graciously entertained by business associates and other friends in Hong Kong, Tokyo and the very ultra-modern city of Nagoya. Then on to Macou, which is near the land border of Red China. They played golf in Taipei, where in addition to green fees, an additional $50.00 per person is required for outside guests.
Velma Zappettini and a dear, lifelong friend spent sixteen days traveling to Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Australia and New Zealand.
Marge and George Goodwin celebrated their 3 l st wedding anniversary by spending a week at Mauna Kea.
In 1977 we will see another year of our members traveling all over the globe, and it will also be another funfilled year of golf. Keep in mind this following golf lesson:
Eye on the ball, elbow in tight, Don't move the head to left or right.
Arch your back, flex your knees, Let the shoulders turn with ease.
Shift the hips, transfer the weight, Keep the left arm nice and straight.
Throw that clubhead through the ball.
Hit it square, and you've got it all.
How long should it take To master this stuff?
Don't raise your hopes, A lifetime's not enough!
Squash Players Sharpen Games
by Alan Fox
PREPARATION for The Olympic Club Invitational Squash Championships
took the form during the late fall of frenzied and active, if not completely successful, participation in numerous tournaments, league matches, and ladder challenges by Olympic Club competitors.
Tom Dashiell, the Club's number one player and traveling emissary, played tournaments in one five-week stretch in Portland, Vancouver, Trenton, New Jersey, and Vancouver again, reaching the finals of the Oregon State Singles Championships in his most successful effort. As the top-ranked player in California and third ranked on the Pacific Coast, Dashiell, in representing The Olympic Club in numerous regional and national tournaments, is mounting a serious effort to improve on his number 20 national ranking.
Closer to home, Olympians were less successful in the only major local tournament in November, the Ralfe D. Miller Invitational at Berkeley. Only Mike Roizen in "A" and Spencer Johnston in "B" gained the semi-final round. Roizen, Johnston, Dashiell, Jim Feutz, Bob Mueller and Alan Fox signalled the coming dominance of The Olympic Club "A" team in Bay Area league competition, however, by easily beating Alex Eichmann's Peninsula Squash Club and the University of California for the fall "A" league title.
The Olympic Club "B" team captained by Jim Feutz and the "C" team co-captained by Charlie Drocco and John Mackay similarly are raising serious threats to win their respectiw leagues.
The Club's "D's," recently the least successful of our teams, interestingly is by far the most active numerically of the squash classes, with impressive participation in both organized league competition, intra-club matches and individual ladder competition. Maurice Milam, Jon Gilbert, Hal Bell, Dick Haines, Jim Kempenich, Bill Schmohl, Paul Ronan, and Scott Patton, to name

ROTH AND ZOLLER WIN 'SPIN-OFF' IN TENNIS
by Chris Arundel!
TWENTY-FOUR teams competed in the traditional Thanksgiving Tour
nament. Players were paired off by having their names picked out of two separate hats while they were in the midst of enjoying hot coffee courtesy of the Lakeside catering staff.
The competition consisted of roundrobin "21 point" matches between each of six teams assigned to each of the four courts at Lakeside. At the end of the first day's play, the two teams with the most points qualified for the more traditional "knock-out" competition the next day.
Unfortunately, the rain that began falling late Saturday afternoon came down in earnest on Sunday with the result that the eight teams that made it through to Sunday's play decided the outcome of their playoff matches by the flip of a racket.
The eight teams involved in the playoffs were John Briskey and Jim Waters. Kent Dorwin and Peter Dorinson, Bob Woerner.and Ward Wolff. Chris Arnndell and Curtis Imrie, Don Bering and Whitey Welch, George Harmina and Len Slater, Herb Suhr and Dick Harrow, and Norm Roth and Nick Zoller.
The team of Roth and Zoller won in the racket "spin-off" Sunday and received the merchandise certificates from the American Poultry Company for a "big bird."

Six Club Teams Enter 'Flame' Soccer League
COMMISSIONER Tom Klitgaard and Soccer Coach Al Washauer have
entered six Olympic Club teams in the San Francisco "Flame" soccer league which gets under way this month. More than 90 junior and juvenile booters have been practicing weekly since early November and are eager and hopeful of playoff representation in each age division.
Since the youthful soccer program started some 12 years ago under the direction of Coach Washauer, the interest and participation has grown tremendously. Initially the program started with one team and approximately 12 boys participating. Currently the Club will be represented by six teams with over 90 young tigers enjoying the action.
The Club has single teams entered in the 18- 16- 14- and 10-years-of-age groups and two teams, the "Reds" and the "Greys,'' in the 12-years-of-age category. The squads have also entered the statewide state soccer cup competition in March.

Olympian Rides Again In Rocky Burro Race
Curtis Imrie participated in the annual World's Championship Pack Burro Race, which he describes as "a crazy event" in the Colorado Rockies. The race is run over 28 miles of rocky trails, roads, snow fields and a mountain pass at elevations ranging between 10,000 and 14,000 feet.
Imrie has taken part in the race for the past several years, and he has tried to encourage other Olympic Club members to participate, but so far without too much success.

Swimmers Pile Up High Scores
by Ron Bull
AT t~e De Anza swim meet in Cuper£1. tmo, four Olympic Club swim:ners once again proved that with quality one gets better results than with quantity. At this meet the Olympian swimmers piled up 12 firsts, four seconds, one third, and three fourths for 157 team points, enough for the third place team standing out of 12 teams, despite being the smallest team in the meet.
The Olympians were cheered by the return to competition of one of their top all-time swimmers, Don Hill. Hill easily won his specialty, the 50- and 100-yard freestyle. Don surprised everyone by also swimming the SO-yard butterfly and taking first place. ·
The De Anza swim meet was Don's first competition since May of I 974, when he won two individual national championships, the 50- and I 00-yard freestyle in new national record times at the short course AAU Masters National Championships.
Bill Loughborough ( 65-69 age group) led Olympians with six firsts and a second for 61 team points, easily establishing himself as the top swimmer in his age group. Bill's wins were in the 50-, 100- and 200-yard breaststroke, the 100-yard individual medley, and the 50-yard butterfly.
Tom McCarty ( 30-35 age group) was close behind Loughborough with 57 team points. Tom won the 100- and 400-yard individual medley, and the 100-yard backstroke, took second in the 100-yard Individual Medley and the 200-yard backstroke, took third in the 100-yard butterfly and fourth in the 50-yard butterfly and the SO-yard backstroke.
Charles Raven (35-39 age category), was able to participate in only the first day of the meet. In the 50-yard freestyle event, Charles almost defeated Ed Henshaw, the top speedster in his age group in this event. Later in the day Charles finished fourth in the tight and hotly contested 200-vard freestyle race.

! Rifle T earn 3rd At Mare Island
THE Olympic Club High Power Rifle Team was welcomed to Mare Island
Rifle Range by beautiful sunny skies to participate in The San Francisco Bicentennial Regional High Power Rifle Championships.
Facing an outstanding collection of Military and Reserve Teams from as far away as Tennessee and New York, including The All-National Guard and All-Army Reserve Teams, The Olympic Club High Power Team shot its way to a third place in the Civilian Class competition.
Olympians Craig Stutler, Chris Petersen, Mike Dunia and Larry Wilkins, firing Ml Rifles at ranges of 200 to 600 yards, scored a neat 1736 points. The course of fire was a combination of Slow Fire Standing through Rapid Fire at 200 and 300 yards, finishing with Slow Fire at 600 yards.
Considering the demanding course of fire over great distances with a difficult rifle, cheers are in order for a fine effort by The Olympic Club team.
SQUASH co11ti1111ed
a few, lead the D's into the winter tournament competition with great hope for success.
For the first time ever, significantly, an Olympic Club junior squash program is being conducted under the guidance of the squash ladder. The juniors, presently numbering about six, have been active in tournament play and hold regular team training sessions.
Certainly not to be slighted the Vets have been active and successful in league play, although after two Northern California tournaments only Steve Yost, among active Olympians, has actually won a tournament, the Veterans B at Fresno. Geoff Thomas, Berm Zwart, Jack Bickel, Charlie Drocco, and Yost anchor the successful B Vet team, while Ed Marr and Murray Smith await the big winter tournaments to claim their share of the hardware.

had the best score in the Seniors' Tuneup with a net 63, while a pair of veteran Seniors, Walt Gordon and Ed Sheppie, scored the big blast in the Seniors' Earthquake with a rattling plus 12.
Summertime, and the living was easy, especially for Olympian Steve Bajza, John Clare, John Flanagan and Pat Murphy. These fellows captured third place in the Bay Area Zone Championship, thereby earning a fall trip to Spyglass Hill.
In the Men's Four-Ball Championship, two teams tied for top honors. These were John Sweazy, Peter Fortune, Doug Stroh and Cid Eldred, along with Phil Clare, Tom O'Kane, Paul Horwath, Jr. and Fred Arnke.
The Seniors' Circus also had eight winners as two teams tied with net SS's. Albert Santucci, Fritz Renneckar, Jim Scatena and Mike Bouskos shared top spot with Frank Cadman, Charlie Molinari, Mickey Davies and Frank Doyle.
It was another big year for the O.C. Juniors, who under Coach Joe Vavra, won their second consecutive Bay Area Cities League Championship, defeating Palo Alto Hills C.C. with an aggregate score of 42-33 in the Home-and-Home series. Eric Sonnenberg won the O.C. Junior Championship by a fantastic 13-shot margin. Steve and Lido Landi won the Father and Son Championship, and Len Fregosi teamed with guest Chris Mulligan to win the Junior Invitational.
The O.C. Men's Invitational was captured by Dan Ferguson and guest Dick Reid in low net, while last year's low net winners, Tom O'Kane and Paul Batmale, won low gross with a sparkling 140.
The Club's first Scramble Tournament was won by the unlikely trio of Mike Butler, Al Huber and Barney De Rose, the 1 7 handicapper.
The Seniors' Best-Ball Championship was won by a pair of real curmudgeons, Fritz Renneckar and Jack Watson, while the Seniors' Invitational was won by the classy shot making of Paul Wellnitz, Sr. and guest Jim Bozek.
To echo Mr. Laurie's observation at the start of the season:
"It was just a great year. Period."
