School colors, pep rallies, Ol- lie Owl and cheers are all a part of school spirit. This great feeling of pride is ap- parent in the actions of the students in response to these objects and events. Where and when did the tra- ditional Owl spirit start? Ol- lie Owl hasn't always been the mascot. Ollie wasn't adopted officially until 1960. The boys on the 1927 foot- ball team decided they should be called the Owls The team had the reputation of carousing through Dal- las at night after the games. In the final pep rally ofthe foot- ball season, senior Bryan Hogan plays a trumpet solo to Rainmak- er. B955 00, gm The Re at-at wakes PJDQDQ M 2.8-A 00 The players wanted to be called the night owls. The coach didn't like the team being out anyway, and he surely did not want them to be called the night owls. They compromised, and the Owl became the mascot for the school. Black and gold have not al- ways been the school colors. Mr. Steve Hammerle said, Originally, the colors were red and white. In a game against Greenville in 1922, both teams had on the same colors. At halftime, we were losing 6-0. In the locker room, the team found some old, musty, black and gold jerseys. 1-- They decided to wear them in the second half so they would be better able to iden- tify their teammates. These jerseys aided them in win- ning the game 7-6. Consid- ered lucky colors, black and gold became the legendary school colors. Garland is known by our black and gold Owl. Ollie is a symbol of the people and their pride in the school, said Carey Johnson. The tra- ditions and school spirit that were started many years ago, continue with each Fresh- man Class because of a spe- cial student body and a com- munity that supports the school. As the cheerleaders promote Homecoming spirit, sophomore Cathy Hunt yells for her class.
