Something just came to mind! The Fraternal Order of the Eagles
http://www.foe.com/ There is one in Springfield and one in Ozark. i don't know anything about them, but I looked and they are there. Not sure if they were there in 1992.
I wonder if this had any connection to anything.
I don't know what this person means or why they think an eagle is connected. Do they mean just the image of an eagle in general? There is no Eagles Club in Springfield, MO. There is an Eagles Lodge but I don't think it was around in 1992.
I don't think any of the local high schools had an Eagle as their mascot. The Eagle is the mascot for Joplin High School which is located about an hour and a half west of Springfield - a straight shot down I-44.
I have no idea. I had never heard that mention before, and I saw it and I was curious.
I don't either. I used to live in Springfield (and did in 1992).
I think you are right about the mascots. Central was the bulldog, Glendale the falcon, Kickapoo had the chief, parkview vikings, Hillcrest has the hornet, Greenwood is the Blue Jay. But I was not sure about Bailey, Catholic or any of the other Christian schools.
And there are so many other small cities around Springfield and are very accessible to Springfield, and I don't about them. Buffalo, Nixa, Ozark, Marshfield, Strafford, Rogersville, Willard, Republic, Highlandville, Fordland, Shady Grove, Sparta, Seymour, Northview, Elkland---and those are just some of them. I have no idea what most mascots are either.
There are the Southwest Missouri Eagles, but they are a
Christian homeschool group so that's not too likely.
