The Icon “lost and found” classified ad posted on the evening of Feb. 3 read: FOUND: A little boy lost one of his favorite toys at a Bluffton home basketball game. I did not get a name of his mom. But I did finally find it. She can contact me at: [email protected] - Thanks, Daryl Shields.
Sounds like an almost hopeless loss.
Then, 12 hours later, on Feb. 4 this email arrives at the Icon:

Bluffton University mascot J. Denny Beaver gained a partner this year in Jenny Beaver. And the pair proved so popular that five Bluffton students were needed to fill their shoes.
The students’ identities were revealed at halftime of the men’s basketball game on Jan. 31, during a ceremony that traditionally marks the only time that college mascots remove their costume heads in public.
