| Original section of the 1956 basketball floor from the Large Gym. |
A section of basketball court containing the jump circle has returned to Reitz High School. The piece of floor is approximately 8' square, with a large grey "R" in a blue circle. The artifact dates from 1956 when the current gym was added to the school. The jump circle was saved in the mid 1980's when the original floor was replaced. Immeditely after it's removal, the R was displayed in Mr. Don Henry's health classroom. For the past 15+ years, it has been in EVSC storage. Mr. Schmidt's industrial technology class is currently building a frame with plans of displaying it near the gym entrance.
