Paxie: Our beloved mascot

event in 1999, accompanied by musicians
Les and Gwen Gustafson-Zook.
Paxie the Peace Bell was created several years ago of chicken wire and papier maché, and makes an appearence at many Pax events. She gets a fresh coat of paint and often a new slogan or two.
Paxie has seen some tough times -- not the least of which was an attempted "Paxie-cide" some years ago -- and she's beginning to show her age, but she's still a beloved, integral part of peacemaking at Goshen College.
