gozags! Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I went to Bellarmine College Prep in San Jose, CA for my high school... the Bellarmine BELLS (our mascot was a frowning bell with legs and arms, clutching its fist... scary?). Also in SJ, Live Oak HS's mascot? The Acorns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooBee Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I've brought this one up before, but Styvesant HS in NYC is known as the Peglegs, of course, after the peg-legged Dutchman Peter Styvesant himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRoberts Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 My mother teaches at Grover Cleveland High School in Queens. Â The team had to change it's name a year or two ago because it was "offensive," however, before the change, they were known as the ....Grover Cleveland Indians!!!I thought it was clever.I also used to run track and X-Country against a city school named "Martin Luther Jr. High School." Â We always got a kick out of it. Â Were we competing against a High school named after Martin Luther King? Â Or a Jr. High School named after Protestant Reformer Martin Luther?I know the answer, but still, it was always funny.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
