(Marion, IA) — The Marion school board could vote tonight (Monday) to change the school’s mascot from Indians to Wolves. The district conducted a poll and found 57 percent want the Wolves mascot, with the Storm the other choice. The school was set in February to replace their Indians mascot with the Mavericks — but were told that the nickname dates back to an early 1800′s Texas rancher and slave owner.
