GAYLE LEBSACK, 1945 medal winner. To perpetuate the name of Harry Sidney Dobbins with the school he loved, the policy of awarding this distinction annually was inaug- urated in 1913 by his parents. The award was sponsored by the proceeds of a principal earned by the boy during vacation periods and this an- nual income was offered as a prize of some sort to be given to some pupil in the Lincoln high school who excels in some branch of work or play there. It was suggested by the parents of the posthumous sponsor, that if his inclina- tion could be consulted, I think he would prefer that it be given for excellence in some branch of athletics, and that they would like, if it does not savor too much of advertising to perpetuate his name in connection with the school he loved by offering this annually for an indefinite period, to be known as the Harry S. Dobbins prize. And so from this humble beginning the award has come to be regarded as the paramount ac- complishment in athletics and scholarship. To the recipient goes the distinction of having at- tained excellence in fields which prepare him admirably for the battles of life to come, a launching on the seas of human endeavor, a magnificent award for a fine achievement.
