Abstract In 1914 Hugh Downey was an average La Crosse State Normal School (LCSNS) student, and a stoic male role model for the other men on the university’s campus. Downey’s first appearance in the 1914 yearbook was in the third junior class photograph. It presents the viewer with an average looking man sitting in front of his peers, but in reality this man was far from average (see Fig. 1).2 As a member of the LCSNS’s eight-man basketball team, Downey helped lead them to become the champions of the Northern Inter-Normal Conference of Wisconsin (see Fig. 2).3 Handicapped with his light weight, Downey was accredited with always being filled with grit and stamina. His smooth work and quick dodging also always kept his guards guessing.4
