CYMNASIUM The gymnasium, a building never to be forgotten by any student attending or graduating from Evanston High School, has held the out- standing social events of our school days within its walls. It was built in the summer of 1925, and was dedicated in the fall of the same year. For 24 years it has been used for the teaching of physical education and sports. Here our social dances, such as the memorable Junior Proms, and Senior Hops have taken place. Upon its floors have been played many thrilling victories that our school and town are willing to acknowledge, for the past basketball teams have made a record we are proud of and want to maintain. 4 This building will stand straight and durable for generations 'fter us. It will remain in the memories of many, and to this list iture memories will be added.
