The Athenian Athlete: The 1910 building was home to Crawfordsville High School students until 1993 when the new school at One Athenian Way was opened.

Dad, would you buy me a basketball?

Welcome to your cyber yearbook remembering over 100 years of Athenian athletics. The picture above tells it all as you see basketball in the early 20's at the old Tuttle Elementary. Every boy wanted to be a basketball player. Just look a the intensity on all their faces and note the willingness of a teacher to teach youngsters the joys of playing basketball in the "Cradle of Indiana Basketball." I wonder how many future Athenian stars are in this picture. I think the teacher is Frank McGeath, a teacher, coach, and Athletic Director of the early teens and 20's. I hope you enjoy your trip down memory lane. Tell your friends and classmates about the blog. Contact me if you have pictures and memories that you would like to see added to the blog.
