MHJH mascot

I was always under the impression that Mountain Home Junior High's nickname/mascot were the Blue Angels. But now I see they are The Warriors.

Did this change, or was I wrong about the Blue Angels?

Re: MHJH mascot

I thought it had to do with planes also. Blue Angels makes sense since I think the colors were Blue and White?
Some of you cheerleaders should know this, or some of you athletes???

Re: Re: MHJH mascot

In our era, I thought we were the Tiger Cubs??

Re: Re: Re: MHJH mascot

Tom,
You could be right. I looked on the Hacker Middle School website and they are listed as The Tiger Cubs. But weren't the colors blue and white??? Too long ago for me to remember.

Re: Re: Re: Re: MHJH mascot

If I remember right, we used to get hand-me-down uniforms from the H.S. and that would have been black and orange.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MHJH mascot

I thought we were the Blue Angels. Maybe they changed the mascot because we were the first freshmen class in the Jr. High. The cheerleaders might remember what color their uniforms were. Was there a base Jr. High also? If so, were they the Red Devils?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MHJH mascot

I try not to think about that year...yes, there was a base jr. high. Here we had gone to Mtn. Home for 2 yrs for jr. high and were ready to go to high school....noooo...we had to, not only stay in Jr. High another year, but not get to go to town.
One time we were going to a game on the bus, but the principal called me to his office and told me that I could not go because I wore lipstick to school. Good grief!
Not a good year for me! I missed going to town.!!!

I was a Cheerleader during football season my 9th grade year....we were called the Blue Angels, the colors were blue and white. I remember it was actually the Football Team that picked the name...we played at Green Acres Field at the High School and I remember being so embarrassed about our name, especially when the High School kids heard us cheering ones such as: "Blue Angels, are you with us? Yeah, man." It was supposed to contrast with the Base 9th graders who were called the "Thunderbirds." (The guys thought that was very clever...named after 2 famous airshow groups.) I believe it was a very short-lived mascot name.

Susan!! What are you doing up on a Saturday morning at 5:45 am ????!!!!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MHJH mascot

Kathy,
I am always up early. I like to see the sunrise and start my day with a bit of quiet. Just the way I am.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MHJH mascot

I knew it was the Blue Angels. My mother was secretary at MHJH from 1961 thru 1967 and I always heard Blue Angels.

Thanks, guys!
