At the middle school I went to many years ago the cheerleading team was
called the "Wood School Beavers" (the mascot of the school was a bit
paper-mache beaver).  I do NOT think they gave any thought to modern
euphemisms when naming the cheerleaders (perhaps they were encouraging
the sports teams they were supposed to be cheering on in another way?).
