Not David Letterman or the "Lettermen" but . . . Willie the Hunter HS student athlete with a Lettermen's Jacket!A letterman is a high school or college student who has met a specified level of participation or performance on a varsity athletic team, marching band, or in other performance school-sponsored activities.
A letterman jacket is a jacket traditionally worn by high school and college students in the United States to represent school and team pride as well as to display personal awards earned in athletics, academics or activities. Letterman jackets are also known as "varsity jackets" in some places.
Letterman jackets are almost never purchased before a student has earned a letter. In schools where only varsity letters are awarded this is usually in a students' junior or senior year. In schools where junior varsity letters are awarded, the jacket may also be purchased by junior varsity letter recipients, though the letter is placed just above the left pocket, leaving space for a (hopefully) future varsity letter.
For Willie, it's the first item of clothing he has ever (yes I mean ever) hung up on his own! Congrats Willie!

Oh my! He looks very grown up. Reminds me of that episode of the Brady Bunch where Marsha goes out with the "big man on campus!".
Very Handsome!
