In 2011, the GHS Educational Foundation and the GHS Museum purchased a commercially made costume based on images of the1960s mascots. Over the past eight decades, there have been various versions of Gus, some simple and some more elaborate, such as the 1968 paper-mache head. Since 1947, after the students had a contest to “name” and “draw” the school mascot, GUS has been Grossmont’s mascot, Since then, there have been many versions of GUS, whose name was taken from Grossmont’s original name of Grossmont Union High School…remove the “H” and you have GUS! In 1960, Gertie joined Gus and has appeared periodically as Gus’s companion mascot. Students could also enjoy fortune “tellings” and palm readings, as well as casino tables with games ranging from Blackjack to Uno! The UCSD Price Center was transformed into the world’s most extravagant pirate ship for a night of swashbuckling and cheer.”
