Symbol Of Spirit And Enthusiasm II The 1984-1985 mascot Jennifer Jones. The Golden Hawk stands still to pledge the olma-mater. Jennifer incorporated many different props into her routines. Since the very first year that El Dor- ado opened the school has had a mascot known as the Golden Hawk. Traditionally, the Golden Hawk helped spread school spirit, pro- mote enthusiasm, and support the other spiritleaders. Finally the Gold- en Hawk was the symbol of the school. Every year try-outs are held to select a new mascot, this year Senior Jennifer Jones was select- ed. Once in costume, Jennifer set aside her individuality to become the character and physical representa- tive of the school. She spent a week at USA camp and brought home many superior ribbons and a medal. At the Heritage Day Parade in Oc- tober, Jennifer represented the pepsters dancing joyfully alongside their float. Besides going to many sports activities, she also porticipat- ed in assemblies doing skits, such as the Empire Busters. i Embossed as the central figure of the pepster organization, Jennifer Jones proudly represents the person behind the Hawk.
