Nile C. Kinnick High School in Japan correspondence and photographs, 1960-1968

1963: Front

Dedication
In 1939 a football player at the University of Iowa was selected "Athlete of the Year." He had won every award of outstanding play in football that year. He helped push Iowa to
victory in the 1939 Big Ten Conference.
This athletic prowess was only part of the whole man. Because of
his outstanding scholastic achievements he was chosen a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He also was in the top one per cent of his law class.
World War II came along before he could finish his education. He left school to become a Navy fighter pilot. He died  while attempting to land his plane on an aircraft carrier in the Caribbean.
This man represents everything our school stands for-tops in scholastics, athletics, and service to our country. Because we admire him and believe in the ideals which he emulated
the Staff of the 1963 Yo-Hi Annual dedicates this year's book to NILE C. KINNICK JR.
