Even the comic's school newspaper, ''The Blue and Gold'', indirectly references Haverhill High's student paper, ''The Brown and Gold''. The high school in the comics is based on Haverhill High's old building, which has since become Haverhill City Hall. Haverhill High School relocated to 137 Monument Street. ==Athletics== High School's mascot is Michelangelo's "The Thinker"(''Il Penseroso'') but is commonly mistaken for Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker."
