Colebank Gym Jasper ' s Pride and Joy Many a memory will venture back to the hours of excitement, tension, fear, and defeat that were experienced as the Falcons took the floor in Colebank gymnasium with the determination to win and play fair. Regardless of the outcome of the game, the Falcons maintained the true sports- manship that represents the man whose name the building bears. The building contains one of the state ' s most beautiful swimming pools. The movie projection room is also located in this building with the women ' s gymnasium. The excitement within the building is one that continues throughout the day with little lapse of time.
