Del Norte High School Warriors

“Well, duh, we are The Warriors. Of course we won at Homecoming,” Hilary chortled as she walked into the drizzle after school.

“That’s like, so disagreeable – being a Warrior,” huffed Hilary’s companion Mary Elizabeth. Her blond ponytail bobbed as she skipped ahead in her blue cheerleader’s uniform emblazoned with a huge white plains Indian emblem on her chest. “Gawd, we hardly have feathered-hat Indians here. Ours are basket hats.”

“Face it,” she went on, “our mascot is a putdown on a bunch of levels. The new tribal school got it right when they made their mascot an eagle.”
