no one takes the cake like my high school
The Cairo(pronounced K-ro) High School Syrupmakers
Our mascot is a syrup pitcher.
They would shorten the cheers to say 'Go Makers!'
My favorite fight song was the song 'Hey, Baby'
During the music part, we would sing 'S-Y-R-UP-MAKERS!'
And then, 'Hey, baby. . .I want to know. . .would you be my guy?'
Our junior year, we made a sign that said 'pack them like pickles and sop them like biscuits!'
Yes, folks. . .this school was in the dirty south.
Edited to add:
They used to be Tigers. The school sits right next to the factory that makes Karo Syrup, the Roddenberry place. One rainy football game, Mr Roddenberry gave out raincoats to the coaches that all had 'Syrupmakers' on the back. Then, after the game, they struck a deal to change the name to 'Syrupmakers' for donations of the raincoats. . .and probably other funds as well. But that's how I heard they got the name.
