TROJAN MASCOT

What about the school's mascot? As Dallas Lommen '57 recalls, "A school wide election was held to decide on the Trojan as our mascot, the school newspaper was the Statesman (probably the only concession we made to Woodrow Wilson, the man)." Penny Williamson Salley '58 remembers that Mike Nagler '58 designed "Tommy Trojan" and had a good campaign to name Wilson the Trojans. The Class of 1958 sang the fight song at their 30-year reunion, though, not many of them remembered the song. Penny recalls, "It was such fun being in on the inception of it all. We, on rally had to make our own pom poms out of crepe paper. Nasty on a rainy football night as we all had green hands. It's a great school and now has some really fun history and it was fun to be part of it."
