LeRoy Gamble, Ted Van Buren and Hal Whitbeck resting after a Boxer Toss

Description

Pacific University students LeRoy Gamble, Ted Van Buren, and Hal Whitbeck [likely left to right], resting under a tree after a Boxer Toss during the 1948-1949 school year. Their clothes have dirt and mud stains from fighting for possession of the original Boxer statue, which was a campus tradition.

LeRoy Gamble graduated in the Class of 1950 and served as principal at Forest Grove High School for many years. Hal Whitbeck graduated in the Class of 1949 and was a high school teacher and coach for many years. Ted Van Buren appears to have graduated about the same time, and was a high school teacher and coach in Beaverton before teaching internationally.
