plant panther returns
TBHC75 years ago…
May 28, 1931 – Plant High School’s stone panther mascot, missing from campus for two months, is dug up from its resting place near Hillsborough High School’s athletic field. The panther disappeared from the Plant campus following a basketball game on March 11 between the two schools. A group of student leaders from Hillsborough High returned the panther to the home of Mrs. W.O. Whitaker, president of the Plant Parent-Teachers Association.

who won the game? i bet there was no shot clock, so perhaps the final score was something like 17-14? and, since so many prominent Tampons were matriculated (is this a word? hope so) at these heralded halls of learning, i ask, would we recognize the names of any of the players?

Those wacky, wealthy South Tampans. Such funsters.
