Proctor Center is turning 100 years old and we need your help! If you have ever played basketball in the gym, learned to skate, or even gone swimming in the pool, we’d love to hear from you. Any old pictures, news articles, or interesting stories, that concerned Proctor Center from 1913 until now, will help make this a fantastic celebration.
