001Thank you, Dr. Roa. Welcome to Farley's Frankfurt fun facts, myths, and legends. In today's episode, I'd like to talk about our mascot, the Frankfurt Hot Dog. To me, the Frankfurt Hot Dog represents grit, perseverance, integrity, and fight. Did you know prior to the 1940s, we were not the Frankfurt Hot Dogs? In fact, we had three different sport teams represented by three different names. Our baseball team was referred to as the Blue Sox. Our basketball team referred to as the Fighting Five. And our football team was referred to to the Nighthawks. Why the Nighthawks, you ask? Well, we were once one of the only schools in Indiana to have lights at their football field in order to have games in the evening. That's it for Farley Frankfurt funfacts. Until next time, hot dogs.
