A familiar 3 o'clock scene was practice for basketball, king of Hoosier sports. Our gym provided ample space for the scores of basketball-struck boys to work off the steam of their enthusiasm. Practices, Club Meetings, And Juke Box Dancing Filled the Afternoon Hours And then, of course, there were the athletic contests held an average of once a week all year. Frosh cheerleaders led their class- mates in rooting for a basketball team that won the Freshman Marion County Basketball Championship, in a night game at the Butler Field- house.
