JOSEPH CASE HIGH SCHOOL The students of the Joseph Ca.se High School will long remember Mrs. Elizabeth Richmond Stevens. It was Mrs. Stevens who made it possible for us to attend this school. She gave to the citizens of this town, the school building, equipment, and furnishings in memory of her father, Mr. Joseph Case. Her gift was unconditional with the exception that it be named Joseph Case High School. Work was started on the school in June 1926. At the cornerstone ceremony on September 13, 1926, officials placed in the cornerstone a copper box containing papers and books relating to the building, town, and donor. The building was dedicated on September 1, 1927. In the fall of 1927, the school was ready for use. The first class graduated in 1930. It was decided in 1951 to build a new junior high school which would be attached to the present senior high school. The school was finished and ready for use in the fall of 1952 by students of both the junior and senior high schools. We are thankful to both Mrs. Elizabeth Richmond Stevens and the citizens of this town for making these educational opportunities available to us.

TUNE—Cornell Alma Mater Our strong bond can ne ' er be broken Formed in dear Case High Far surpassing wealth unspoken Sealed by friendship ' s tie. Mem ' ry ' s leaflets close shall twine Around our hearts for aye, And waft us back o ' er life ' s broad track To pleasures of past day. WORDS—Class of 1947 High school life at best is passing. Gliding swiftly by; Then let us pledge in word and deed Our love for dear Case High. CHORUS Alma Mater—Alma Mater, Deep graven on each heart, Ode victorious we go singing, As from these halls we depart. ■■ ' ' ' ’i ■ - t ' ? i. ■■ ■ g ,4k»- W C 1. ♦V ' ' i :- v»- I ' 4 “HF M ‘ T ' t - ' • ' ..’S ' S ' . ■ ' %.
