Ternes Comes Through . . . and Renteria

David Ternes comes through on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that I issued. I think he went a little small with his bucket, but at least he completed the challenge! Sounds like he has called out the other three captains of the team, Pierce Gustafson, Richard Renteria, and Sam Poulos. Can't wait to see them accept the challenge.

Here it is, David Ternes: David Ice Bucket Challenge

And Renteria follows: Richard Renteria Ice Bucket Challenge

The Honor G

The Honor G, the official emblem of Grinnell College athletics, was first used at the Iowa state track championship in 1892. Designed by Earnest "Skip" Atherton, class of 1895, the original Honor G consisted of a scarlet maltese cross with a black "I and "C" (for Iowa College) superimposed on the cross. Two years later in 1894, the "I" and "C" were replaced by a black gothic "G", and the modern day Honor G was born. The gothic "G", which was also used on letter sweaters and is now used on letter jackets, was replaced by an Old English "G" in the mid-1930's. After some protest, it was quickly changed back to the gothic "G", and it has remained unchanged since that time.
