Eugene The Jeep - Other Uses

Other Uses

Eugene the Jeep is the school mascot for Northeast Dubois High School in Dubois, Indiana and at South Webster High School in South Webster, Ohio, although the Jeep for Northeast Dubois is blue and gray, while South Webster's is red instead of yellow. An old elementary school in Wheatland, Indiana also used the Jeep as its mascot, but this school was consolidated and is no longer in use.

Many, including R. Lee Ermey, suggest that soldiers of World War II were so impressed with the new Jeep vehicle that they informally named it after Eugene the Jeep as "small, able to move between dimensions and could solve seemingly impossible problems."
