For at least one year, 1927, the Oak Leaves staff also had a mascot. So did the Acorn staff and the Twig staff.

The 1927 Oak Leaves staff included a child mascot on their yearbook page.

Mary Elizabeth Phinney, mascot of the Class of 1928

Two children help with the Crook on Class Day 1939. While only one child mascot, Gene Holland Wall, was named and photographed with the Senior Class, it is possible he had a friend or sibling with him for support.

Although not named in the yearbook, the child mascot walks into Class Day between two members of the Class of 1947.
