Baumgartner said the school colors are older than the school which was torn down last year. It seems two classes in the old school, the one in use prior to 1915, wanted their class color used for the school’s colors. The old school had a belfry so one of the classes put a pendent in the belfry. This was taken down and replaced by the pendent of the other class. This in turn was taken down and replaced by the first. The exchange of pendents went on for a while with the school’s principal becoming concerned that someone would get hurt climbing into the belfry to replace the pendent so he called the students together and announced the school’s colors would be blue and gray. Blue for the Union and gray for the Confederate armies, uniting the two colors as the union had once again been united.
