124. The Colonials

I went to Morristown High School in Morristown, NJ (Class of 1971). Since Morristown was the military capital of the colonies during two winters of the Revolutionary War, our sports teams were all "Colonials". The marching band (The "Marching Colonials") wears uniforms that look like colonial army outfits, complete with three-corner hats.

Our actual mascot was "Mr. Colonial", a guy in a Revolutionary War outfit who cavorts on the sidelines with the cheerleaders. I was almost "Mr. Colonial" my senior year - I came in second in the voting.
