The Teddy Awards
Created to recognize outstanding achievement in
the Speech/Drama Department, the Teddy Awards were named for -- and are now in honor of --
the team's original mascot, a stuffed teddy bear.
Teddy was bear-napped by a rival team (we know who you are) in 1991 and was never
recovered.
His successor -- acquired from the same toy store as Teddy -- was named Teddy II, or
"Twoey."
Teddy is gone from
his balcony seat in the MHS
auditorium, but he will never be gone from our hearts.
