Scope and content
A plush toy version of Pounce de Lion, the University of Waterloo alumni mascot, sold through the University gift shop beginning in 1991. The toy features an ear tag associated with the Student Alumni Association (SAA). The front of the tag displays an illustration by Frank Esch depicting Pounce leaping from the University of Waterloo crest, while the reverse includes SAA contact information. The inside of the tag contains an additional illustration of Pounce alongside a printed message from the mascot that reads, "Hi! I'm Pounce de Lion. I jumped off the University of Waterloo crest in 1985 as the alumni mascot. I assist the Student Alumni Association (SAA) which is a fun-filled group of student volunteers dedicated to raising school spirit by bringing alumni, present and future students together. You'll find us at Homecoming, Winterfest and other spirited events on campus. We're always looking for new members who enjoy making new friends and contacts, organizing events and learning about themselves and the university. Call us today!!!" Available in two sizes, the plush toy could be purchased as a nine-inch version for $17.99 or a twelve-inch version for $21.99.
