Although Chinook had its origin with the coming of the railroad, the Utah Idaho Sugar Company erected a sugar beet factory on the eastern edge of town in 1925, which still identifies Chinook High School today. The old plant smokestack glows annually with the senior's display of pride, traditionally decorated with monograms or autographs on the refinery walls. In addition, the school's sports program bears the name, Sugarbeeters. Originally the mascot was a tiger, which explains the ever ridiculed Halloween colors, orange and black. However, when the sugar beet factory contributed money to the school for new uniforms, the natural gesture of gratitude was the memorial name adoption. As a result, it was necessary to change the school song, Hold that Tiger , but the colors stuck. Yet, if the sugar beet colors, maroon and green had been chosen, Chinook would have been the Christmas team. Since a tough team doesn't bring presents, Chinook is happier haunting opponents.
