🧑‍🤝‍🧑Mascot: "Sammies"

Meet the Sammies and their counterparts, the Suzies, the unique mascots of Sutton High School in Massachusetts. The story behind these mascots is pretty cool. They were created by Al Banx, a cartoon artist from the Telegram and Gazette, who also came up with nicknames for many local sports teams. Here's the interesting part: while Al Banx designed the caricatures, the students actually voted on the names. One student's suggestion won out, and thus the Sammies were born, with the Suzies likely named to complement them⭐. What's special about the Sammies and Suzies is that they are one of the most distinctive and localized mascots in the USA, making them truly one-of-a-kind. They represent the school spirit and community in a way that's both fun and historic. So, if you ever hear someone cheering for the Sammies or Suzies, you know they're part of a special tradition that's all their own🛡️.
