DASSEL-COKATO, MN – Members of the Dassel-Cokato student body, grades 7-12, made themselves heard Dec. 17 and 18 when 773 of them voted on whether or not to keep the old Charger logo that has been in place since Dassel and Cokato consolidated in 1972.
Students got to vote between three new logos, all brandishing a horse as the new DC mascot, or to keep the traditional one. After all the votes had been counted, the students elected a new logo by a healthy majority.
The logo the students picked, which was Choice B (pictured) on their ballots, won by 344 votes. The next closest was actually the decision to keep the old logo, which received 287 votes.
