Of course, when I was in HS about a century ago, the Pekin, Illinois HS teams were known as the "Pekin Chinks"! No, I'm not kidding. They're now the "Dragons".
Funny you mention that. There is a high school way up in northern MO (within spitting distance of Iowa) named Putnam County High School. Their mascot is the "Midgets" as well. That's right - the PC Midgets.
