The Cock Pledge
On a hot june morning in the town of Brighton, 5 men released 2 cocks and 3 chickens into the doorway of Brighton High school.  The operation had been months in the making.  Specially made chicken coops were constructed and the animals were bought on a saturday at the public market and hidden for 3 days in the back of a Ford Ranger.  A certain future fireman tried to ruin the fun but the day belonged to the cocks.  As the janitors, all of the principles, and many other BHS faculty crowded round, Wes Frisk was heard as he told Dr. Knapp, "Is that not the largest black cock you have ever seen?!" The animal control came and got the animals.  The Man behind the chicken coops was ratted out by the fire-kid and he proudly served 2 detentions.  At the Senior banquet, Dr, Knapp asked the young fellow, "What are they serving tonight?, Chicken!" The class of 2000 graduated but the spirit of the chicken remains.  Rumor has it that the chickens will return!
The Cock Pledge
For as long as at least one of us survive, there will be a chicken found at BHS around springtime.  The chicken will serve as a symbol of what good times were about back in the day.  As a member of the class of 2000, I promise to fulfill my duty and to ensure that these times are not forgotten.
RIP Hector "The 2001 Cock"
