Old South School Bell Safe From Fire Secret Hidden
The Old South School bell, cast in 1872, was removed last summer and hidden by city workers to protect it during the fire and razing. Patrolman Delman Whitt found the bell on the second floor and moved it to a safe place with street department help. The bell may be used in the new high school as part of the South School Memorial Committee plans led by Louis B. McCallay.
