Absolutely correct. Galesburg High still goes by the nickname "Silver 
Streaks". Last season's football team's schedule had the team posed in front 
of BN 1 and 2. The herald on the top of the schedule (which I thought was 
pure genius!) was the famous picture of Zephyrus as used in "Q" promotional 
literature. Instead of pointing the way west or whatever he normally does he 
had his arm out to stiff-arm a defender and had a football tucked under his 
other arm!

There is also a town furthur up the line (Neponset maybe or Annawan??) whose 
team went by the name "Zephyrs". That town's high school closed a few years 
ago due to consolidation.
