UDR: Unidentified Dancing Ram Who is Rambo?

By Kallie Hansen
Superman, Batman and yes, even Rambo are all mysterious masked marvels with a secret identity. Man by day, hero by night, these characters have kept their skeleton in the cupboard, but does the mask really need to come off?
Since the 20th century, costumed characters have provided numerous sports teams with jazzy dance moves and maybe even a fuzzy shoulder to cry on when the game is lost. The word “mascot” is derived from an Italian word meaning something that brings good luck. Every school has their own tradition, and at Harbor Springs High School the dancing ram is a shining beacon of light, rather, a dancing beacon of light that brings hope, and luck to the varsity sports teams. In its fourth year, this new tradition has already been proven to be a highlight at Harbor home games.
Some claim that they have seen the mysterious masked mascot take off his head, but no proof has been brought forth just yet. Students continue to ponder the real identity of this upbeat mascot.
“He has undeniable dance moves, no doubt... but I always wonder who's in that suit,” said Junior Shelby Flemming.
Digging up dirt on this rambunctious ram might be a Sherlock Holmes-like investigation. Some students try to pry the information out of athletic director, Scott Cochran, but the response usually given is confidential.
Every 3 minutes a person in the United States reports a UFO sighting. And every home varsity game a student from Harbor Springs High School reports a UDR sighting, an unidentified dancing ram rallying up the stands. So even if you've solved this Scooby Doo-esque mystery, keep the tradition of this conundrum alive.
