"Toland's Bulldog Pride," Cedartown High School's mascot, died Monday, Jan. 2, 2012, following a brief illness.

Pride was bought as a puppy from Mars Hill Bulldogs by the CHS Student Council and attended school each day.

His affectionate and retiring personality made him a favorite member of the high school population as well as the community at large.

Those attending were Hal David, Robyn Teems, Barry Williams, Clint Jones, Scott Hendrix and son Landon, Cindy Brooks, Alyson Reaves, Elisabeth and Chloe Powell, Kriss York, Dana Johnson, Jeff Ford, Scott McAnich, and Allie Hogg.

The popular publication also included highlights of the cross-town African American high school Cedar Hill Panthers, which won four state championships in ten years of competition.
