ization had planned
reason Gainesville had never con
structed a gymnasium was that
the majority of the citizens had
an idea .that all such a structure
is used for is to play basketball.
That, of course, seems rather ex-
aggerated. but evidently there is
an answer to the problem some-
where: just what it is, we don’t
savvy. Of course if a building is
erected there will be plenty of bas-
ketball played. But there will be
many other uses for a gymnasium.
All school functions could be held
in the gym, including physical ed-
ucation classes. banquets, school
programs, and, if desired, school
dances, which would then be under
the supervision of the faculty.
Physical training classes among
the tired business men could be
organized, county meets could be
held here, in fact, one could enum-
erate dozens of various functions
for which such an edifice could
be utilized. All the power in the
