as a lifelong resident in the area, I can tell you... I have never heard anyone refer to the village as "S-Wood"
as another lifelong resident in the village itself, I can tell you, I have heard a substantial amount of people say "S-Wood".... smells like lilac and fish? I dont think so —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seventeen17 (talk • contribs) 02:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] S-wood is indeed used.
Actually, quite a number of SHS students use it when telling other HS students what high school they go to. In fact, the SHS boys basketball team used the term "S-WOOD" on their jerseys in the mid-ninties and S-WOOD can be seen on some of the high school's (older) sports equipment.

Japan Acid, I'd hate to break it to you, but the outside world doesn't give much of a rats-bum about your High School's way of calling the City. We need FACTS for Wikipedia, not nicknames based on a minority opinion. B-ville is used in my high school frequently, but in the business world it is not used what-so-ever. Wikipedia doesn't cater to High Schoolers, it caters to EVERYONE, including intelligent businessmen and historians. What kind of a joke is this "S-wood" nickname?

[edit] Dont be a jerk.
Hey. No reason for the hostility pal. It's just a name. So just relax about it. And btw, i'm not a HS student. Graduated some time ago. I'll leave it out, but hey: Don't. Be. A jerk.
Oh and "discuss as fairly as possible"? sure. Japan Acid 18:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cross-town rivalry?
Apparently there was some disagreement about "The Jug" and the cross-town rivalry between Streamwood and Bartlett. I couldn't find anything about "The Jug" on either of the school's websites, and nothing but mirrored Wikipedia entries came up with a search on Google. I also checked the varsity football schedules and Bartlett and Streamwood don't even play each other this year... If there is such a thing as "The Jug" and it is really a big deal, then citing a source for the information should eliminate the controversy. --Aldryd 13:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
