As an actual HSS student & alum from 1968-1976, a member & starter on the 1975 undefeated 10-0 Wabbits football championship team, basketball player & parent of 2 HSS alumns, I'm against this petition & name change. #Tradition

We need to change the mascot. I think it will boost morale. Our kids are getting bullied from other students from other schools. Mine were even made fun of by Msgr. Malone!!!!

HS mascot was originally the Jack Rabbits, so if you want to go with the original name start there. Msgr. Allen changed to to Wabbits because a young student couldn't say "Rabbit" but said "wabbits". I graduated as a HS "Trojan" in 1972. (I'll omit why that was the chosen name.) If we had only changed the name to "Saints" we wouldn't be having this conversation. "Saints" are not perfect but they strive to be.

Keep name WABBIT!,,,,,,,,,

NO, the Mascot has a long history of being associated with Holy Souls. The Holy Souls tradition includes being a proud Wabbit. Few people even know how the name Wabbit came to be. If they did, they would understand its meaning and what it stands for. I vote to keep the proud name of Wabbit! I am a 1959 graduate and both of my children were Wabbits. My granddaughter is now a proud Wabbit!

I just recently exchanged birthday cards with a girl I I graduated with in 1954. Our birthdays are 8 days apart and we exchange cards every year. I was a football player at Holy Souls and she was a cheerleader. Our cards both mentioned being Wabbits with fond memories. If given the choice I'd vote on keeping the name.

While I do not support a mascot change, I do want to thank you and your husband for your service to our wonderful school. That should not be overlooked by any means. Everyone should have a voice here and I'm sorry if you all feel bombarded.

As a graduate of Holy Souls, and then a proud tiger at Central, I wholeheartedly support Amanda and Wallace Smith and most importantly the changing of my Alma Mater's mascot.
