Perhaps someone paid for that humorous ad and those were inside jokes for members of the school.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing these - lots of fun!Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930899264249549964.post-15901189660878430652016-01-25T05:43:14.260-08:002016-01-25T05:43:14.260-08:00The ads are just so funny.

It took awhile for me to uncover the origin of the name, but I finally found it: when the students started the school "paper," they had a discussion about a name. The group was in a large English classroom which had a large stuffed owl sitting high on one of the cabinets. They decided the owl was their mascot and overseer. This was before a school mascot--a Warrior. I never did find out the origin of the Warrior as the mascot. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
