Possible Mascot Change

By: Brent Christiansen

In an astounding turn of events, Lloyd Memorial High School may be going through a mascot change. The possible new mascot you ask? The creature, known for its agility, speed, and versatility goes by one name: the Platypus.

The Platypus, who has found a hero in the cartoon character Perry the Platypus from the Disney Channel Show “Phineas and Ferb,” has grown a following in the Lloyd hallways. With its growing student support, there is a push for the Platypus to boot out the mighty Juggernaut.

Student Amadou Yero, leader of the Platypus fan club and main advocate for the mascot change, released this statement: “The platypus is a noble and unappreciated creature in this country. I have witnessed the awe-inspiring greatness of the Playpus, and I feel like the diversity of its features truly represent the diversity in our school. I, 100%, believe the Platypus is the best choice to be the face, or rather the duckbill, of our school.”

In response to the uproar, a vote has been scheduled for April 31st. The showdown between the Juggernaut and the Platypus is afoot. Be on the lookout ladies and gentleman for the results.
