Here is the famed Ilion (now CVA) trophy - The Lever Cup. This trophy has been awarded to male students annually for 95 years. The trophy was first presented to Ilion High School by Harold 'Boots' Lever. See the names of all the recipients on The Lever Cup page.

A note of gratitude goes out to Ilion alumnus, Sally (McCann) Kramas IHS 1975 and to Cuyle Rockwell, District Communications at Central Valley School District, for polishing up the cup and sharing this photograph of it.

Unfortunately, when this cup was inscribed in 1924, they misspelled Harold (Boot's) Lever's last name.
