Mascots

Starting with the Class of 1907, mascots played an important role in student life at Simmons. For over forty years, freshmen chose a class mascot to follow them through their four years at the College. During the first meeting of the school year, the students submitted suggestions for class colors and mascot. After voting on their favorites, the freshmen would eargerly await the announcement of their mascot on the Freshman Bulletin Board. Beginning in earnest in the 1920s, mascots maintained a continual presence at College events and were considered good luck to many of the students. Toys, pins, banners, posters, and bags often depicted the chosen mascot, differentiating the classes on invitations and during College traditions.
