Um...Isn't Andover's mascot a bit strange?

<p>Uh...yeah, it's just sorta glares at you. A gorilla? Very...attractive...</p>

<p>I think his name is Gunga.............pretty cool actually!</p>

<p>It really doesn't matter. Of all things, don't question prep schools' mascots. Deerfield is the fricking doors, so chill out about Gunga . . . :)</p>

<p>Is Deerfield really the doors??? Prep school mascots are so strange - NMH is the hoggers (I do have some cute little pink pigs, though....one even has wings), and Cushing is the Purple Penguins. Any others???</p>

<p>Blair has the Buccaneers. At least that shows a fighting spirit better than a door!</p>

<p>WOW the gorrillas? I imagined andover's mascot to be something aquatic, like a dolphin or a whale. andover sounds so ocean-y to me. idk maybe i'm crazy. the school i'm going to is the tigers. so original, right?</p>

<p>azn foo. It's no surprise that you're hating on the Andover mascot. You're the kid that got into Exeter and looks like you will go. So the rivalry is on!!! haha.</p>

<p>Other mascots:
Loomis pelicans
Hotchkiss bearcats
Taft rhinos
Deerfield doors
Canterbury Saints
Andover Gorillas GUNGA</p>

<p>What are people that go to Andover called?</p>

<p>The gorilla is unofficial, and is a fairly recent addition. Andover is the referred to as "the big blue", not the gorillas. I believe we are called phillipians.</p>

<p>my schools is the dragons</p>

<p>the best is the villa gorillas</p>

<p>groton zebras!!
'cause andover's color is blue, exonians call them smurfs!!! :D</p>

<p>And exeter kids are exonians, right now i get it. There are so many big blue schools. Choate's acceptance letter said go big blue. All the prep schools except Deerfield are either red or blue. </p>

<p>Prep schools should get some orange and more greeen and maybe even purple or something. </p>

<p>Sugerkim, do you go to andover?</p>

<p>Yes, I'm a senior at Andover.</p>

<p>neon!!!!! flourescent lime and pink jerseys! u could be the parrots or something colorful!</p>

<p>A color change at one of the prep schools would be nice because Taft, Loomis, Exeter, SPS are red. Anybody know what color Hotchkiss is?, i think it's blue but i'm not sure.</p>

<p>thacher's mascot is pretty crazy: the toads! green and orange.</p>

<p>hotchkiss is blue</p>

<p>Does anybody know how far the sport teams have to typically travel for away games at BS?</p>

<p>I know that Madeira's (girls school near Washington D.C.) is the snails. Pretty imtimidating!! ;D I guess they were really trying to establish some individualism.</p>

<p>NMH travels 1-3 hours for their games. That's probably about right for most of the schools (since they all play eachother).</p>

<p>Woah. That's kinda freaky with all these weird mascots...What was Exeter's again? Might be going there but totally have not looked it up...left all that to my mum. XD</p>
