Editor's Note: One of the writers participated in the rally

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon at James Logan High as the whole school started to pour into the football field. As every one got seated in the bleachers, the noise level began to get louder and before you knew it, the whole school was in one spot, together, like one big family. As the rally began, class officers from all levels began to gather in different areas of the field, wearing their respective class colors. Seniors were wearing black, juniors white, sophomores green, and freshman were wearing yellow. Games were played and floats were displayed. The fact that everyone was there and showing off their school spirit felt great.

From wikipedia:
Juliette Gordon Low (born Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon in Savannah, Georgia, October 31, 1860 – January 17, 1927) was an American youth leader and the founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA in 1912.

Juliette Gordon Low's mother's family came from Chicago and her father was a Confederate Captain in the American Civil War and a Brigadier General in the United States army during the Spanish-American War. She was always called by her nickname "Daisy" to her friends and family. Another one of her nicknames was "Little Ship." She acquired this nickname while staying with her maternal grandparents John H. Kinzie and Juliette Augusta Magill Kinzie in Chicago at the end of the Civil War. The families of Confederate officers were required to leave Savannah after the December 1864 surrender to General William T. Sherman. Daisy went with her mother, Eleanor Kinzie Gordon, and her sisters, Alice and Nelly. Daisy loved to hear the story about her great-grandmother, who was captured by Native Americans. Even though she was a captive, she was always joyful, so the Native Americans started calling her "Little-Ship-Under-Full-Sail." She was the adopted daughter of the Seneca chief Cornplanter in the years she dwelt with the tribe. Eventually, the Seneca said they'd give Juliette's great-grandmother whatever gift she wanted, and she chose to go back home. The Seneca let her go. The shorter version of the nickname was bestowed on young Juliette. Daisy was always jumping into new games, hobbies, and ideas.
