They still called themselves &quot;Red Raiders&quot; but rather than honoring the Native Americans who were here before us, and who we all learned about, and learned to admire, in 4th grade....they're going with a pirate now. Really. Tell me...aren't pirates actually committing violent crimes today? They're a historical 'character' but still truly exist, and are NOT good people. (Sorry if anyone is related to a pirate...you can contront me at the reunion.) Take care....and I hope to see you tomorrow night!</p> <p>Peg (Dawe) Miller</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> class_forums_messages.cfm?mid=125690&r=1 2010-07-01T19:24:10-04:00 Did our school mascot change?
