School Mascots

My high school mascot was the Minuteman. You know, the guy back during the revolution with his 3 cornered hat and his musket ready to kick the Brits back over the pond. Our football team was the Patriots.

My school was turned into a middle school some years ago and then it was slated to be torn down for a new campus so some of us went back for a tour; we all graduated in 1974. Low and behold, on the gym wall was the Minuteman without any rifle!!! When we asked about it we were told by the principal that the school district had adopted a zero policy on weapons on school grounds so the our beloved Patriot had to turn in his musket.

This world is gettng fucking crazier by the minute!
