The Candy Man
A student known simply as "The Candy Man" was a student who operated out of school lockers to sell candy to high school students. The Candy Man came into existence in 2005 when Seattle Public Schools banned the sale of junk food on school grounds, and continued to operate up until his graduation in 2007. The student's individual organization was a non-profit charity business that had benefited Hurricane Katrina Relief, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and the Millennium Villages Project. While some bought from him and others actively reprimanded his actions, most, including principal Martin Floe, opted to "look the other way" without condoning his behavior. In the 2007-2008 school year, a successor to the Candy Man emerged to continue the business at Ingraham.

“Why, what a candy deal of courtesy
This fawning greyhound then did proffer me!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In matters of the intellect follow your reason as far as it will take you, without regard to any other consideration... and do not pretend that conclusions are certain which are not demonstrated or demonstrable. That I take to be the agnostic faith, which if a man keep whole and undefiled, he shall not be ashamed to look the universe in the face, whatever the future may have in store for him.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
