Mrrrrrrow

The Human thinks she must be rubbing off on her students. No, it's not that they've developed a taste for the 19th-century American novel (More's the pity. --Ed.). It's their choice of class mascot that's taken a turn for the better.


One of the tasks of each sophomore class is to sew a banner of their class mascot, in this case, the Panther. (And really, could there be a better animal?) Their banner is hung on Class Day at the end of sophomore year and remains on display in the auditorium till a year after their graduation.


Although it's a bit difficult to tell from this photo, the banner is about six feet long and made of silver satin. The Human and I are particularly fond of the obviously-clawed "2014" and the mighty claw swipe across the top.


Disclaimer: The Human had nuffing to do* with the sewing or design of this banner. A math teacher sewed the basic shape for them, and the kids designed and created the rest under the snoopervision of the science department chairperson. *She's lucky if she can sew a button on

Spitty, Sassy here. When I first saw this banner, I knew it was not you because it does not have your handsome gold eyes!

Sassy

Nothing better than a panther kitty on a banner! purrrrrrrrrrrr.....

Ivan from WMD said...

Well, I should *hope* your human had nothing to do with it. Because if she had and YOU weren't on it, well...I would think that would be grounds for dismissal.

Anyway, my mom thinks both the banner and the tradition are very cool. This must mean the end of school is near = more Spitty time?

Cathy Keisha said...

I think even without the eyes, that banner is YOU! These kids have seen your picture in the classroom for over a year, and, just like me, you're all they can think of. BTW, TW can't sew a button on a shirt either. HAH!

(pee ess. Wally was sleeping on his faux fur bear-skin rug that's on his hammick. Wally calls it his "Zoey blankie" because it's the same colors as Zoey and he likes the idea of squishing her.)

Stacy Hurt said...

Well I hope you were sufficiently compensated for your modeling prowess! I bet it was grueling!
