* December 2008: Note, there is a question about the spelling of the Principal's last name. It all started when a member of the Hoover School class of 1961, suggested that his name was Lyons. We put the question to the class members and the response was inconclusive. It it easy to understand, both spellings are phonetically very close, and, it has been 58 years. Above you will find a photocopy of the Commencement Program where the name is spelled Lynes. We find it a stretch that such a dissimilar spelling would go unnoticed for such an important document.

* November 2009: Another Hoover student (1957-1961) has chimed in on this. Another vote for Lyons. Source: Al Jaffa, math department head at Mt. Pleasant High School.in San Jose.
