The 1959 Streaks were excited because they thought they were going to be the first team to play at the new high school located out on Fremont St. Because there water issues, the opening of the school was delayed. So the '59 Streaks were the last team to play in Steele Gym.
Realize that Steele Gym was old but a great gym. In 1959, the two best gyms in western Illinois were Wharton FH and Steele Gym. And the last season at Steele was great- the '59 Streaks did not lose a single game.
The following is a description with pictures of Steele Gym:
