Syrupmakers - Syrup Pitcher
|
|
Cairo High School's class schedule consists of 7-period classes.
|
|
Cairo (pronounced Kay-Row instead of Ki-Row like the Egyptian city) is nicknamed the "syrup city" because of the high school football team. Roddenbery's, a well known food company, was formerly located in Cairo. One of their main products was syrup. The syrup made in Cairo was cooked from sugar cane juice but it was not the corn syrup known as "Karo syrup," although the names sound the same. During a driving rainstorm in the middle of a football game many years ago, workers at the local syrup shelter brought over their rain coats labeled "Roddenbery's Syrup" on the backs of the jackets to keep the players dry. Roddenbery's was known for many other products like peanut butter and pickles and fortunately the "SYRUPMAKERS" portion of the plant was closer than the "BUTTERCHURNERS" and the "PICKLEPACKERS." Before the "fans in the stands" demanded this name change, Cairo was known as the Tigers. In 1986 ESPN named the term "Syrupmaker" the number one nickname for a high school sports team. The mascot is depicted as a syrup pitcher. The term is often shortened to "Maids" for the girls or "Makers" for the boys. The 2008 Football Syrupmakers were Class AAA State Champions after the school's second undefeated season (1990 was the other).
