The big bell that once hung in the Whitefish Bay High School bell tower is ringing again. Visitors to the field house gym are ringing the throaty bell using the handle provided.
"It's still easy to ring even after 75 years," said Diana Del Rosso-Felland, who had just made the big bell sing. That was so much fun, she said, they should leave it there all the time. But then she thought better of it.
"Then the kids would be ringing it all day," she said, smiling. She has one child at the High School and three at the Middle School.
The bell gives accidental punctuation to the music that is playing in the gym. It is from all the decades the school has been around, from croners of the '30s to rock of the '70s and beyond.
And in the lobby, a string trio of students is now adding to the ambiance at the art show.
