The Pine Gets a Big Shock
Whistling Pines' mysterious mascot, known to all as "The Pine," was taken in for emergency medical treatment yesterday after suffering from mild electrical shock from poorly wired XMas tree lights on his/her festive boughs. After learning that The Pine would be okay, school officials tried to herd students who swarmed around the ambulance, hoping to catch a glimpse of The Pine's true identity without his/her costume on. Some students, frustrated by lack of access to The Pine, attempted to bribe paramedics for info on the mascot's gender and physical characteristics. Their efforts were unsuccessful.

"I flashed some cash, but they said no dice," said Max Diamond. "Pine, I know you're reading this. If you know what's good for ya, you'll take off that dumb tree and show your face!"

The Pine arrived safely at his/her home that evening with doctor's orders to "take it easy" and buy a book on basic electrical wiring techniques.
