"Irv." Ruby was selected for the
honor from a. group Of outstanding
letter winners, each with individual records and sport reputations

football and basketball teams with
Varsity standing as well as claiming other athletic and sport
achievements. He is also an outstanding musician with the Clare
school band and with high attain-
i,ments ih solo and small group performance. These factors with Irv's
scholastic standing and his fine
school citizenship pointed to him
as a foremost nominee for the
medal and trophy.

a popular and thrilling main event
for the sport fans who satisfied
their desire to hear him recount
his ring experiences. He told of
his career in amateur and professional boxing with interest-charged
.stories and wRh answers to questions from the audience.    •
Seldom has the award selection
committee been forced to chose
from a list of such impressive
stars as |his year's roster.

a mainstay on the grid team. He
reached the top in individual honors for basketball players at CHS
