** A couple of Wodehouse’s early school stories, “Jackson’s Extra” and “The Deserter,” feature a Jackson of Spence’s house, who is “the only Wrykinian who ever got three centuries in first-eleven matches and five extra lessons in the same term” or “who ever got a double century in a house match and four hundred lines in the same week.” This is consistent with the behavior that gets Mike sent to Sedleigh. The cricket captain at Wrykyn in these stories is Henfrey, whom Mike nearly replaces at the beginning of "Mike and Psmith," so it’s very likely that Jackson of Spence’s is an early appearance of Mike. Jackson in "The White Feather" is probably the same Jackson of Dexter’s who plays a small but crucial role in “Jackson’s Extra.”

* EarlyBirdCameo: Possibly. In Wodehouse's school story ''The White Feather'', also set at Wrykyn, there's a minor character called Jackson (no forename given) who may be Mike or one of his brothers.
