Palisades High School Dolphins.
1/2 mile from the ocean, therefore the Dolphin was a very appropriate mascot.
And yes, this was the school written about in the book Whatever Happened To The Class Of '65?
The Bulldogs. How boring.
I graduated from San Gabriel (California) High School in 1961. No un-PC name like Indians or Chiefs for my high school’s team. No, they were called the Matadors, after men in tight brocaded pants who torture large bovines. Never gave it a thought in those days, though.
I was in the band, not on the team. Trumpet…thanks for asking.
No way! Were the colors brown and gold?
Another Crusader chiming in. Not the same one, though. All-boys Catholic school in Chicago, run by the Christian Brothers.
Sand Lizards, striking fear into the hearts of our cross-county rivals, the Little Johns.
Hilltoppers.
That would be it - I used to live off Loch Raven and Putty Hill and 2 years after I graduated, my neighborhood became part of Loch Raven High School. So I was one of the last Knights on my street.
Another Catholic high school with the Crusaders (and the Lady Crusaders, of all things) here. The original Crusaders, of course, ultimately lost. It could have been worse. In one of the neighboring counties, the Catholic high school’s mascot was… the Beavers. Including the Lady Beavers, just in case the double entendre wasn’t obvious enough to any adolescents in the area.
Norwegian schools don’t really have mascots, but fella bilong missus flodnak’s high school’s symbol was a snail.
I went to two high schools, Towers Titans and then Pinellas Park Patriots. Very alliterative. The second school opened in 1976, otherwise it probably would have been the Panthers. The high school in our current hometown is the Aves. This one really threw me for a while, since it’s a public school. Sycamore Aves. Then someone told me it’s short for “aviators”. I thought it was latin, as in ave Maria. Too much Catholic school for my own good as a child.
Nacho4Sara, I always liked the Retrievers as a mascot. It’s just a mascot, and it’s a grown dog, not a puppy. Since Chesapeake Bay retrievers are a local product, and nice dogs, it makes sense. (Mrs. ShibbOleth matriculated at UMBC)
Blackshirts. How brilliant is that? When we get lazy it’s just ‘Shirts’. Let’s Go Shirts!
Our mascot though was a cardinal, I guess an Italian blackshirt would have been too much.
The Yuma Union High School Criminals.
GO CRIMS!
The Bombers.
With a mushroom cloud as the mascot.
And yet another Crusader chiming in… from Strake Jesuit in Houston(all-boys Catholic high school).
Oh, forgot to mention. Our school colors were, of all things, maroon and orange. Blech. Funny how it looked like a normal color combination after 4 years.
Solvay Bearcats
The logo is a snarling feline (cougar?) with rounded bear ears.
The stuffed animal in the trophy showcase is some sort of snarling cougar.
The real-life bearcat is a binturong, an arboreal mammal with a prehensile tail with a propensity to smell like Fritos or popcorn when agitated.
Here’s the trophy case critter.
Woodham High School Fightin’ Titans!!!
LaGrange High School Grangers. Yep. Farmers we be!
BTW they won the Georgia State AAA Football Championship last December and the town ain’t over it yet. I think they should just all go and soap the fountain in the middle of the town square and get over it. (Soaping the fountain was the senior class tradition back in my day.)
