i 1 BROVVN MEMOIRIAL BUILDING The new Brown Memorial Building was dedicated this winter, and Fairport is now proud to boast of having one of the finest and newest gym- nasiums in Northeastern Ohio. ' The first basketball game played in the gym was against Harvey High School on December 10, 1954, and attending the game, was the largest crowd Fairport has ever had at a sports event-an estimated 1,000 fans. David Butch Hilston was the first player to score a basket in the first official varsity basketball tilt. The Skippers went on to make it a fitting dedication by downing the Harvey Red Raiders. An important feature of the new gymnasium is a sliding partition which can be drawn across the actual playing floor and two separate gym classes can be conducted at the same time, one for boys and the other for girls. The seating capacity of the whole gym is estimated at 1,200. Besides the gym there are an industrial arts room, a band practice room, individual practice rooms, training rooms, and home and visitor,s shower and locker rooms. . Yes, Fairport has every right to be proud of such a building! i.. Eighteen

Twenty The Fairport Skippers again Wound up with a better than expected season. In fact, Coaches Matt lvary and George Daly were well satisfied with the inexperienced team. The team could boast a five Win, three loss record, which is not too bad considering the caliber of the opponents. Fairport played eight class A schools, some with large enrollments. The Skippers placed only third in the North- eastern Conference with a 2-2 record, but with the players returning next year, the outlook is much brighter than it was last September.
