The expression on the faces of these students can mean only one thing — Victory! And victory it was, not only for the basket- ball team, but for the Brickie Boosters as well. The crowd of students shown here are only a part of the many fans who filled the Hobart section at tourney time. The enthusiastic followers cheered the Brickies into the final game of the Gary sectional. The loyalty of the fans was especially displayed during the game against the hard playing Panthers of Roosevelt. Brickie fans refused to let their plucky team down, as the Brickies themselves refused to allow the Panthers to win with- out a hard fought battle to the end. This bright sign in the study hall attracted a great deal of attention a week before the sectionals. It was one of the many projects undertaken by the student council to arouse enthusiasm for the sectional tourney. On the day of the sectionals the Hobart caravan with twelve cars bulging at the seams, set out for Memorial Auditorium, horns blowing, students yelling, and banners waving. 14
