Graduated class of 1995. Ran cross country track as a Red Raider! Red Raider pride runs deep in my family. My brother Michael class of 85 and both my parents class of 66 all Red Raiders! I say we leave our mascot the way it is. You don't see the major baseball team the Cleveland Indians changing their mascot because of the way it looks do you? Then why should we have to?

Graduated in 1968, and if there ever was a generation that sought change it was us. The Red Raiders and Indian are a legacy of Watertown, for all who played, cheered, and proudly displayed this banner. For those of you who choose to change this I say you are welcome to leave Watertown. Resign from your positions and find another town to disrupt. Indeed your disrespect for the past is in no way welcome and this dialogue should end with the withdrawal of your intentions. End this disrespect now.

The Indian mascot was a tribute to the tribe that inhabited Watertown, it has been the Pride of many classes that has roamed & Graduated from our High School and thus this Honored tradition should remain.
