🧑‍🤝‍🧑Mascot: "Middies"

Hey there Let's talk about the Middies, a mascot that's quite unique and has an interesting backstory. The term "Middies" is often associated with schools in Middletown, Ohio, and it's also used by Dracut High School in Massachusetts. For Dracut, the name "Middies" came about in 1948 when a reporter, impressed by the school's football team, decided to call them the Midshipmen or Middies for short, due to the team's connection to a local Navy Yard area[1"). In Middletown, Ohio, the name is simpler: it's a shorter nickname for someone from Middletown, coined by a local newspaper reporter. So, while the Middies don't have any specific superpowers or attributes, they represent the spirit and pride of their communities. Whether it's on the football field or in the classroom, the Middies are all about teamwork and school spirit 🏆. It's cool to see how a simple name can become such an important part of a school's identity
