(Intended to honor the dying horseback warrior on the statue “End of the Trail”, of which the original casting stands a few blocks from the school and is the city’s symbol. PC police have since forced the school to change the mascot – the statue of the warrior still stands with pride nearby, but cannot be revered as such.)
