My cousin went there!
That is good to hear!
Silver Lake College seems pretty awesome!
I would imagine it is!
What kind of bird is that for Silver Lake College?
A pheasant. I always say they should call themselves the Pheasants since Lakers is so overused.
Silver Lake College is the best one of the bunch!
That’s what a lot of people tell me!
How come you always say Silver Lake College should be called the Pheasants?
Because their mascot is a pheasant.
