Abington honors early football great Red Grange,

nicknamed the “Galloping Ghost,” who was a

teammate of a former coach at Abington. After a visit

by Grange to the area in the 1950’s, the high school

decided to name its teams after him.

This name was inspired by the school’s principal in

the 1920’s. He was a great admirer of Edgar Allan

Poe and especially liked Poe’s “The Gold Bug.” He

conceived the idea of awarding paper goldbugs to

outstanding and talented students. The name soon

applied to Alva’s teams.

Page 15: UNIQUE HIGH SCHOOL MASCOTS Argument of Judgment. ABINGTON GALLOPING GHOSTS

This is a term for a blue-winged, pigeon-sized bird

that is known for darting through wooded areas.

Chosen in 1932 because it matched the school colors

(blue and white) and its small size and aggressive

nature seemed appropriate for the school’s rather

small but speedy teams.
