We have endeavored to express the loyal spirit of our class mates who have here received training of the highest standard. To our parents, the faculty and board we owe much of our success and ask that this be accepted as our expression of appreciation. As you read these pages in the years to come may the school-day spirit again awaken in you a real love and may you say that it is a dear, true story of you and me in our school days here. Could we paint a picture on the minds cf each member of our school and indelibly bum on the memory thoughts of love, hope, and appreciation for each other then would the staff have accomplished their desire. THE EDITOR Page Eleven lOnnt (Kraut $aiuu memorial Cibranj The Leon Grant Yager Memorial Library was established this year through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Yager, as a memorial to their son Leon Grant Yager. As this has been one of the poorest equipped departments in our High School the gift was highly appreciated by the students and faculty. The board of education also showed its appreciation by employing a librarian. All books have been classified according to the Dewey decimal system. This has placed the library in such shape that a student may call for the book he wishes and get it with very little loss of time. Our library now contains about eleven hundred volumes, two hundred seventy-five of which are fiction, the balance, reference books. The average number of books taken out by the students is four hundred fifty per month. The official work of the library is in charge of a library board; namely, Mr. A. L. Ruffner, W. C. Chenoweth, T. N. Wright, and the Superintendent of the Casey High School. Page Twelve 1322 Page Thirteen Seniors = %22 Ralph Foster It’s a great plague to be a handsome man.

Page Twenty-four Settlor (Elaai liiatnnj In the fall of 1918, we, the Seniors of 1922, gathered together to test our fortunes in the new school building. We took up the cross of Freshman. We were too busy accustoming our ways as Freshmen to organize. Again on September 1, 1919, there was a get-together day for the Sophomores, but we found our number materially decreased. We wanted a leader for our president, so we chose Sylvia Willingham. Ralph Foster was elected vice-president, and Harold Chrysler, Secretary and Treasurer. We started the real class spirit by having a wiener roast. This was unanimously attended and as unanimously enjoyed. We kept our generosity in bounds until Halloween, when we entertained the Juniors at the High School with a “mask all” party. Yet, once again we entei-tained, and then we gave a picnic for the Seniors. The adjective slow could certainly not be applied to us, as Sophomores. In 1921, we assembled for the third time as Juniors. Jolly Juniors? Yes, but judicious as well. Clinton Green headed our class as President; Sylvia Willingham, vice-president; and Harold Chrysler, Secretary and Treasurer. Mildred McGinness later took Sylvia’s place. For the first time we chose class advisors. We were allowed two, so we chose Miss Gordon and Mr. Tade. Our first function this year was a wiener roast, but it was by no means our last one. Next came a carnival, and a stunt show followed soon afterward. By far the most elaborate and enjoyable of all, the Junior-Senior Banquet. The last and farewell Junior picnic was at the rocks. This was a stimulant to our Senior class, in anticipation of many more delightful times together. At the beginning of our Senior year, our most dignified year, we numbered forty-five. This year Ralph Foster was chosen President. Mildred McGinnes Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Swinehart and Mr. Tade were selected as class advisors. The days go so swiftly in our senior year that one hardly can distinguish one day from the other, but a particular night is stamped on our memory. This night was the night of the Kid Party. It proved to be the best ever and certainly the merriest. In athletics this class is supreme. During their Freshman year most of the boys were small, but found a place on the teams with the upper-classmen. When school opened the next year, more than half of the candidates that reported were Sophomores. On account of many difficulties the Athletic teams did not meet with much success, but gained fruitful knowledge for the following year. Next came the glory in the C. T. H. S. athletics. The big junior boys, who were once the small Freshmen, were now the main stays of the games. The football season opened with a rush and six of the players were members of the famous Junior class. Next came the basket-bali. The Junior class contributed four of the seven players who won nineteen games out of the twenty one. This team was known all over the state as one of the fastest teams in Eastern Illinois. It was this team that aroused the interest of the many fans, who had long been silent. Page Twenty-five 1922 The success of the athletics in 1921-1922 is known all over the country. The football, basketball and track teams met with great success. The Senior class this time contributed seven of the letter men who won seven of the nine Foot Ball games played. In Basket Ball they contributed six out of the seven purple and gold boys, who not only won the class tournament but made a splendid showing in the district-tournament. There is already wonder as to what the school will do for athletics next year, as the boys who defended the purple and gold for four years will graduate with the glorious class of 1922.

Page Twenty-nine 1022 (Cla a lUistnry of thr Jltutun (Ilaaa ©f 1022 One morning in September, 1919, over fifty Freshmen found seats in the assembly hall of Casey High. They were not unlike the average class of Freshmen. The majority, thirty-eight, to be exact, had graduated from the Casey eighth grade the preceding term. A few of this number were missing, but the others joined with those who came from the country and elsewhere, to form a strong, united whole. This was the first class which ever had the privelege of conducting their grade commencement exercises in the new building, and to them belongs the honor of being the second Freshmen class which had ever existed as a class in the new Casey Township High School. As a result they received the proper benefits to be derived from attending a school with so congenial surroundings, and so well-equipped for their advantage. Throughout the year the Freshmen showed that even if they were green, as all Freshmen classes are supposed to be, they were quite alive. The next year (1920-21) there was still approximately the same number of classmen. However, a few of the former students had dropped out, and three, Roxie Fuson, Bertha Hutson, and Owen Kibler, had been added to the Sophomore roll. The class still retained its old attributes which had ever before distinguished it. It stood high in the ranks of scholarship. Indeed, two of the three times, a Sophomore headed the Honor Roll, which was printed quarterly in the local paper. This showed that though the class gave brilliant, momentary glow, it shone with a steady, never-varying flame, and that after all is the flame worth while. Society life was not neglected this year either, and the class enjoyed many royal good times. These festivities were helped along by the sympathetic aid of the class advisors, Miss Ruth Grant and Mr. C. A. Morey. Now the Junior Class of 1922 comes into view. It is the smallest class in the school, numbering only about thirty. Three members have been added; Eliza Partlow, Ethel Leamon, and Agnes Welch. Agnes, however, soon left for her South Dakota home. The Juniors entered school this year with one important purpose in view. This was to obtain the necessary money for the Junior-Senior banquet. As this annual banquet is the most important social event of the year, the present Juniors mean to entertain the Seniors as royally as possible. And so far, their enterprises, the carnival, the stand, and the benefit night at the Lyric theatre, have all been very successful. It is hoped that every year will prove equally profitable. So here’s to the pink and the blue. Here’s to the Junior Class! May their Senior life prove as interesting and end as happily as their present life gives promise of doing!

CElaoo A ICim' Wire Our class started its career in September 1920, when, with the assistance of Mr. Bra-sel, officers were elected; Noble Coy, President; Merton Criswell, Vice President and Frieda Dyer, Secretary and Treasurer. Orange and Black were selected as class colors. During the month of October the class enjoyed an “Annual Wiener Roast” and at this time Misses Clearwater and Rhodes and Mr. Newlin were chosen for class advisors. The month of November and December were troublesome months for the class. President Coy, Vice President Criswell, President Fox, Vice President Gertrude Reed all rsigned one at a time and it was left to Byron Emrich to pilot us through the remaining months of school. The Freshmen entertained the Juniors at a “Grand An’ Glorious Banquet” which was the main event of the season. In Athletics Criswell, Lucky and Dodds were heroes. Criswell and Dodds making the first string in football while Lucky and Criswell were distinguished in track. In 1921 the class started out with a W'niz-z-z! and a Bang! The officers elected were Munson Harris, President; Verleigh Burdett, Vice President; and Edith Reed. Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Black, Miss Henry and Mr. Brasel were elected advisors. The third week of school the “Second Annual Wiener Roast” was held at Toner School; while on Oct. 27, a Masquerade Party was given for the class by Merton Criswell, Olin Hills, Stanley Orr. Everett Seaton and Munson Harris. The climax of the season however was the “Post Exam. Jubilee” on Feb. 23. The money from this was to be salted down for next years Senior Banquet. In Athletics this year the Sophs have been very prominent; Curly, Dodds, Reed, Robinson, and Highfill making the first fourteen in football; while Curly and Ted Barkhurst made the first string in Basket Ball. In track we have also high hopes of obtaining first place. The Sophomore teams took second place in Basket Ball this year, the line-up being as follows: Lucky, center; Stohr and Barkhurst, forwards; and Seaton and Kile playing guards. The girls team also had a prosperous season, losing only two games during the season. The line up is as follows: center, Faye Click; forwards Frieda Grove and Eleanor Parcel; guards Neva Catey and Chlorene Shoemaker. Although the track team has not yet been organized, those sure of places are as follows: 50 yd. dash, Dodds and Criswell; 100 yd. dash, Dodds and Criswell; 220 yd. dash, Lucky and Harris; 440 yd. dash, Harris and Barkhurst; 880 yd. distance race, Reed and Hill; mile race, Reed and Seaton; Discuss, Robinson and Highfill; Javelin, Criswell; Shot Put, Dodds; Pole Vault, Lucky; Broad Jump, Dodds and Lucky; High Jump, Emrich and Harris; Relay Team, Lucky, Harris, Dodds, and Criswell. If the track team proves a success, the Sophs will be able to live up to the reputation bestowed upon them by the faculty, and continue to be a “Live Wire Class.” 1 $2?

It is built in the basement of the main building, which adds much to its beauty and convenience. The main entrance to the gymnasium is thru three massive doors on the first floor of the building. Passing thru the three large doors, one finds himself gazing over the large balcony which has the appearance of a modern theatre balcony. The main floor of the gymnasium is seventy-three by fifty-three feet, which dimensions allow a basket ball court of fifty by seventy feet. Much space is provided on the south side for bleacher seats, while the spacious stage, which is on the north side, can also be used for bleachers when the occasion requires. However, the seating capacity is not enough to accommodate the large crowds which attend the basket ball tournaments, but arrangements are being made to extend the seating capacity by moving the north wall of the gym back, thus enabling the construction of a large balcony on the north. The stage, which is twenty feet wide and fifteen feet long, is raised about three feet above the main floor, and while thei-e is no scenery loft, the stage can readily be transformed by means of curtains and draperies to take care of the high school dramatics. The stage is flanked on the east and west by dressing rooms. Many gymnasiums are handicapped because of the lighting and heating systems but this is not true of this gymnasium. The lighting system consists of twelve two-hundred watt lamps giving a brilliant light ali over the floor. The heating system is steam vacuum and the pipes and radiators that fasten to the ceiling eighteen feet from the main floor do not interfere with the playing space. Page Thirty-eight XBZZ 1 Page Thirty-nine I $22 Clarence Chrysler Senior, Capt., “Jack” is his High School name, 2nd team all valley full back, a four year man, playing tackle and full back. He was always ready to lead the team into battle, and make the score, at the end, stand in favor of Casey. Clinton Green Senior, a three letter man, half back, and one of the speediest on the team. “Clint” carried the ball well, and always made gains when “Dog” stopped the opposing end. Paris might be recalled. Gallias Matheny Senior, two letter man, half back. Give “Gallias” the ball on a cross back after a colored boy had locked him and he would make another touch down. Always doing his part and many times helping others. Olie Burnett From the “Southern City”, Senior, two letter man, O, such stuff as we found in this letter man. To tackle on soft ground suited him better, in fact was his “hobby”. We will miss him when he’s gone. Page Forty 1422 Harold Chrysler Senior, “Dog”, two year man. A real defensive end. To pick a long pass was his delight. Few gains were ever made a-round his side of the line. Earl Kunz “Sam”, a Senior, two letter man, Center; a real spiral passer and accurate at all times regardless of how hard the opponent pounded him. Dana Hudelson Junior, one letter man, played guard but could handle any line position. His size and tackling ability made him a valuable man. Ralph Foster “Mike”, for short, a three letter man. All Valley end and a better one never crossed a valley field. He will long be remembered in Casey as one of the best. Page Forty-one $22 Halbert Highfill Sophomore, won his letter in his Soph. year. He was known as the utility man, able to carry ‘most any position, and willing to do his best. Merton Criswell Sophomore, Capt., elect for 1922, “Curly” for short, and a two letter man. His left foot and left hand serve him well at quarter and full back. Show us a better Soph, quarter. Dean Reed Sophomore, a one letter man, and two years to go, small in size but has the nerve. Watch him go on the ‘22 team. Owen Kibler Junior, a one letter man, a dark horse in the Foot Ball world. To put a suit on him was enough, for he was in the fray every time possible and it was always possible for him. He was a real tackier and he enjoyed it. Page Forty-two 1422 Otis Dodds Sophomore, our friend “Otie”. a letter man. O mv, how Otie jolts them. He could handle a half position as well as his regular tackle. He was always getting into the luminous plays. Horace Nash Sophomore, a letter man ar.d as hard as iron. However, a car looks better to him on a rainy day but he did enjoy his sv.it. Visiting team gained very few yards over this boy, Nash. iFimt Sail The football team of 1921 was the most successful that Casey Township High School has ever put out. They wor. seven games out of the possible nine that were played. The two games were lost by close scoies, under difficult conditions and against strong teams. Football practice was started a week before school this season, so the coach had most of the squad working in good shape before school opened. 1 his gave some of the new fellows a try-out and a little taste of what the game was like before the season. ROBINSON VS CASEY, SEPT. 24 The first game scheduled was with Robinson. Everybody realized that this game would be a true test of the team’s strength. By hard playing Casey took the lead with two touchdowns, but neither goal was kicked. Robinson made a touchdown and failed to kick goal. This lead was kept until the last few minutes of the game. Then Robinson scored a touchdown and kicked goal. This left the score thirteen to twelve in Robinson’s favor. Although Casey lost the first game to Robinson, it proved to the home people that they had a winning team. CASEY VS FLATROCK, OCT. 1 The next game at Casey was the only real easy game of the season as Flatrock was no match for the Casey boys. One feature of the game was a few touchdowns being made on the kickoffs. The game did not bring out much football playing and ended with a “lop-sided” score of seventy-tw-o to nothing. Page Forty-three UT22 CASEY VS OBLONG, OCT. 9 Casey played a hard game with Oblong on the home field. Oblong had a good line and made gains on line plunging but was defeated twenty-six to nothing. This game was followed by more hard practice. An automatic football dummy had been purchased and was a hard blow to the old fashioned necktie style of tackling. CASEY VS BRIDGEPORT, OCT 15 The next Saturday the squad went to Bridgeport. They were a little nervous a-bout this game for Bridgeport is a strong football town. The team was greeted by cartoons of a two-hundred-twenty pound fullback displayed in prominent places. It was a fine game and a well deserved victory. Casey was satisfied to get away with a score of thirteen to nothing in our favor. CASEY VS PARIS, OCT. 22 This game was marked as being one of the hardest fought, most persevering games of the season. It was the first game of the year that Casey had the small end of the score in the early part of the game. This did not seem to discourage them and their superior training was manifested by the final score of twenty-seven to fourteen in favor of the home team. CASEY VS OAKLAND, OCT. 29 This coming game with Oakland was looked forward to with much interest. They played at Casey and were defeated with a score of nineteen to nothing. CASEY VS WILLOW HILL, NOV. 5 Although Willow Hill was a small school they had not been defeated until this game. They had been scored upon but once so far in the season. Here they were beaten twenty-six to three, the three points being made on a drop kick from the field. CASEY VS OBLONG, NOV. 11 Though Armistice Day was very stormy our team celebrated by playing at Oblong and winning the game with a score of twenty-eight to seven. CASEY VS MARSHALL, NOV. 25 The last of the season was the big annual Thanksgiving game with Marshall played on the home field. It had rained the night before and both teams w-ere handicapped by a very wet field. Marshall scored the first half on an intercepted pass. The home team came back stronger the last half and scored a touchdow-n on a forward pass. It seemed that the teams were evenly matched and the score was going to be a tie; but during the last quarter one of the Casey players fell in the mud behind our goal in trying to run the ball out. The final score was nine to seven in Marshall’s favor. It was a close game and members of both teams regretted that they did not have a dry field for their most important game. The team, this season, was characteristic for its team work and every member helped to make it a sucess, but it also had its individual stars. Ralph Foster was picked as all Wabash valley end and Captain Clarence Chrysler as all Wabash Valley fullback on the second team. There were many things that contributed to a w’inning team this season. It owes much of its sucess to the coach, Mr. Brasel. Without his untiring efforts it would have been impossible to (tevelop the winning team we had this year. The spirit of the team and school and the support of the townspeople were no small factors in helping to win. Although several of the players, who were Seniors, will be off the team next year it is hoped that Casey High School will have a more successful team next year.

We were very fortunate this year in having a good, hard fighting second string. Some of these boys came out night after night, taking the hard knocks that are so necessary for the “scrubs.” They deserve much credit that they never get. It is hoped that the team for the coming year will be made up largely of the scrubs who worked for their places. Page Forty-five 1922 = dlokra Eleanor P.

Clarence Chrysler Senior, “Jack” ‘19, ‘20, ‘21, ‘22,. Teams. All Star Valley Guard ‘21. Too much can not be said of this guard, who was always defending the goal, intercepting passes, and attacking the offence. They never were too big and rough for our boy, “Jack”. Guards never receive the credit due them; it’s always the scoring men who receive the write up in the daily paper. We believe him to be the best guard in Southern Illinois and Western Indiana.

A guard always willing to do his best, never beaten, who always said, “Come on Gang.” The Chrysler formation, as guards, was hard to beat. They shifted positions but the team work was never changed. Page Forty-eight 1022 Utakrt Sail arant There must be a beginning in everything and a foundation built while in the growing age, so we feel that Casey’s Basket Ball teams of the future are made up from this fine group of loyal boys. They are small but the first thing they learn is to stand the rough treatment. This proves to students that they will develop into one of the strongest teams Casey has ever seen. Their schedule consisted of seven games, with six won and a tie with Kansas which war not changed after two five-minute over-time periods The second team of any athletic teams deserves much credit (which they never get) for sticking until the last roll is called. We never hear of the second teams that make it possible for the first team to win a championship of their section, or state. Schools should never overlook the small boy who has the nerve and willingness to stand the storms. Page Forty-nine 1022 Basket Ball Basket Ball in Casey the past two years has furnished a large part in the athletic history of the C. T. H. S. The spirit in which the games were played, and the spirit of the followers of this wonderful indoor game made for the school and city a name which will never die, and for this reason we feel the pictures of the players deserve a space in our school annual. We also feel the schedule of the games won and lost will be of interest. The winning this year was not as strong as last year, but it is not all in winning; it’s the loosing as well that makes life worth while. A team can’t win all the time, for some time they will have what is known as a slump, and for several games may be unable to do a thing. Basket Ball is the most uncertain of any sport known; just the tip of the ball through the little iron hoop and the game is lost or won. Taking the game as a whole it is one of the best all around games in the athletic world. It trains the youth to act and think quickly, and to control himself at the critical times. It teaches him to hold his temper when being crowded, and builds for him a strong body, which many a high school boy needs. Every boy has so much time of his own, and he will spend it one way or the other, because Nature has given him so much surplus energy to use as he wishes, so why not encourage the boys to spend their time and energy in a good clean basket ball game?

The season opened this year the first of December with about forty girls coming out to practice. Try outs for Class teams were not begun until after Christmas. These resulted in the organization of three teams, Freshman, Sophomore and Senior. Several public games have been played. The first was between the Freshmen and Sophomoi-es. This was also the first game of the tournament and was won by the Freshmen. The next public game was played by the same teams, the Sophomores winning. The last game of the tournament was between the Freshmen and Seniors. Both teams played a good game which ended in favor of the Freshmen. Practice was continued twice a week until about the first of March, when the season ended and attention was turned to other sports.

It was one of the largest that Casey Township High School has ever had. They had members competing for most of the field and track events. The members of the team and the events each competed for are as follows: Clarence Chrysler and Vance Owens, shot-put; Glen Adams, broad jump and Javeiin throw; Harold Luckey and Merton Criswell, Pole vault; Gerald Tracey and Ernest Orndorff, one-half and one mile runs; Julian House, 440 yard run; Ralph Foster, relay; Wayne Gilbert, Fenton Foster, and Clinton Green, the sprints. The members of the relay team were as follows: Glen Adams, Ralph Foster, Julian House and Clinton Green. On account of being out of school this year, Julian House, Glen Adams, Vance Owens, Wayne Gilbert, Gerald Tracey and Fenton Foster were unable to get in the track picture for the annual. The first meet of the season was the Tiger meet, held at Paris on the seventh of May. The honors won by Casey were: Adams, second in the broad jump and Javelin throw; Chrysler, first in the shot-put; Julian House, third in the 440 yard run and second in the one-mile relay. By just a few points the Seniors took the class meet from Juniors on May 11th. Casey won the following honors at the meet at Charleston May 14th: Adams, first in the broad jump-distance, twenty-one feet six and one-half inches, which broke the record at Charleston by several inches; Chrysler won first in the shot-put; Owens, third in the shot-put; Luckey, fourth in the pole vault. The relay team placed third. Several boys went to the state meet at Champaign, May 21st, and two Medals were brought back. Adams won 2nd in broad jump, being beaten only by a fraction of an inch; Chrysler won third in shot-put. The big point Winners for Casey last season were Chrysler and Adams. Adams graduated last year, but Chrysler is on the track this year. There is a good bunch out for track and with hard work a successful season may be expected. Page Fifty-two VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENTS DOMESTIC ART AND SCIENCE Miss Jane V. Henry COMMERCIAL Mr. T. C. Tade MANUAL TRAINING Mr. G. D. Brasel AGRICULTURE Mr. W. A. Newlin Page Fifty-three IB22 = Home ixnmomira The department of Home Economies consists of two sections of sewing and two of cooking. The sewing sections are made up entirely of Freshmen girls. The work consists of the learning of elementary stitches, the use and care of sewing machines, the drafting of plain patterns, the use of commercial patterns and the making of simple garments. The cooking sections are open to Sophomore girls although this year as many Junior and Senior girls are enrolled. Equipment for six girls was added in the fall so that twenty girls can now be accomodated in each section. Thirty eight registered for cooking thus signifying their intention co do all they could to save American bachelors from the ravages of indigestion and the sway of bachelor buttons. During the year dinners were served to the Agriculture boys and their fathers, the Business Men’s Association of Casey, and the Clark County Live Stock Association. Luncheons were served to the faculty, Board of Education and to a large group of farmers meeting in the interest of Chinch Bugs and Seed Exchange. All sections in Home Economics are as large as can be handled conveniently in the limited space provided. It is hoped that advanced courses may be offered in the near future. In the fall registration girls having enrolled were transferred to other subjects because of lack of facilities. So it leads one to believe with Owen Meredith that the girls of Casey community feel that:- We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. LMS. Page Fifty-four 1922 ittmuutl Srattttttg tlrpartmntt Manual training in modern education is the training of the hand and eye by the use of typical tools and machinery. Manual training may be regarded either as a part of a person’s general education or as a definite step in the direction of a livelihood. Manual training schools are broader in their scope than the technical or trade schools though they are the logical outgrowth of them. Their aim is general culture. The idea of introducing tool instruction in the curriculum with science, mathematics, and languages in such a way that no one feature should be subordinate to another, was started in one of our near-by cities, St. Louis, in 1877. This was under the direction of the Washington University. They intended that it should give special training to those who were interested in shop and mechanical work. From this beginning nearly every high school in the United States has put in courses along this line of work. These are not all alike by any means, nor so uniform as other courses, because of lack of equipment. Manual training has been under discussion in every convention of educators and in every community. The manual training department gives as wide a training for practical acts as do the scientific and commercial fields. It stimulates and developes the mind and opens all the activities of life. Machines and benches are used, tools of every day life are at hand. The students are first required to make drawings of the articles which they have been assigned to make. The class then proceeds to the execution of the task assigned. The essential thing is that it should be carried on with reasonable speed and accuracy. Page Fifty-five 1 322 a hr Agriculture Drpartmrut The agriculture department of C. T. H. S. was established in 1918 and was one of the first high schools in the state to introduce Smith-Hughes, or vocational agriculture, in the course of study. Two courses are given at the present time, Animal Husbandry, which takes up the judging, feeding, care, and management of live stock; and Soils and Crops, which takes up the study of soils and the growing of crops. Besides the study of these subjects the work is supplemented with laboratory exercises, field trips, and a required amount of practical home work in connection with the subject studied at school. The department has a library of 150 volumes of reference books, 1500 bulletins on different subjects in agriculture, besides being a subscriber to a dozen farm papers. Some of the more important equipment is a Babcock milk tester, forty seed com racks, scales, fanning mill, and a sweet clover seed huller and scarifier. The greenhouse, cold frames, and hot beds are used to grow plants for the school garden and the boys in agriculture, the surplus being sold. Four acres of school ground are used for demonstration purposes. The department co-operates with the community in testing milk, cream, seed corn, and soils for acidity, for anyone who wishes this kind of work done. Last year seventy-five bushels of seed com were tested for germination and com root rot. Soil is tested for acidity by a new, quick, simple, and accurate method. Dirt is stored each year for inoculating alfalfa, soy beans, red alsike, and sweet clover for farmers who want it. Two hundred bushels of clean sweet clover seed have been hulled and scarified with the scarifier for farmers, one hundi-ed fifty bushels of timothy seed cleaned with the fanning mill and two hundred fifty bushels of soy beans graded. A working fund of $200.00 is used to secure, for farmers, seeds which are not available here. It is the aim of the department to co-operate with the community and give service along whatever line it can. Page Fifty-six Q22 (! h? Agricultural (Club The boys’ agricultural club of C. T. H. S. was organized in 1919 for both social and educational purposes. The officers are: Pres., Orville King; Vice Pres., John Em-rich; Sec. and Treas., Clinton Green. Meetings are held during the year where programs are given and business conducted. The club is financed by dues and money received from the sale of plants and vegetables and for work done on sweet clover seed. The activities of the club are many and various. The annual two day trip to the University of Illinois is full of interest, where the Agronomy plots, the live stock barns and the University buildings are visited. The Father and Son Banquet is another annual affair which promises to promote better cooperation between the farmers and their boys in both home and school work. A Sweet Clover Day program was given Dec. 20, with more than 250 farmers present, several farm advisors, and agricultural boys from other high schools, all of which represented seven counties. The club has also been represented at two other sweet clover day programs, one at Oakland and the other at Hutsonville. Another community program in which the club took an active part was a Chinch Bug and Seed Exchange Day. More than 400 farmers were present and the day was a decided success. The boys are looking forward to a domestic science and agriculture club picnic to be given in May, at which time Professor Nolan of the University will be here. A Soy Bean Club has been organized by the agricultlre club to promote the growing of soy beans by the boys, also a chinch bug corn club. The agricultural club is always willing and ready to render any service to the community in what ever way it can. Page Fifty-seven 1II22 Prunin' Department Science has not always been a part of the secondary school curriculum. The rapid advances in civilization have caused modem life to become mors and more complicated, so that an education consisting of the three “R’s” of our fathers’ time no longer furnishes sufficiently broad mental equipment. One of the groups of studies added to meet the needs of present day conditions is Chemistry, Physics and Biology. These subjects are offered in our Science Department. They are now found in the courses of study of all High Schools. In this Commercial age a subject must have a practical value to find a place on the course of study. The subject matter of this department is not found wanting when judged by this standard. Chemistry is positively a living, growing science. The subject grew very rapidly during the World War. Nations, under the pressure of necessity brought about by the war, increased their efforts along chemical lines. For example, we Americans suddenly found it necessary to manufacture poison gases and explosives for military uses, and large quantities of glass, dyes, photographic chemicals and medical preparations which had formerly come from Europe. We rely upon chemical processes in the production of these and many other articles. This has created a large demand for skilled chemists and an army of educated workers in the plants. Then Chemistry is so very closely linked up with our daily life that without it we would not understand such common things as burning, the decay of foods, the rusting of iron, the acting of acids on metals the souring of milk, etc. This briefly indicates the practical nature of the subject. The course is open to Juniors and Seniors. Physics is offered to Seniors. Since Physics deals with matter or the physical objects about us, and the forms of energy, as heat, light and electricity, it is evident that Page Fifty-eight 1322 Swnr? Di'partmnit physics is a science touching our life at every point. Every one needs to know something about the working of the automobile, electrical machinery, optical instruments, vacuum cleaners, pressure cookers, and electric irons, which are so common a part of our modern environment. Physics has for its aim the study of all that can be known about such contrivances as those just mentioned. It is therefore very practical. Biology is the science of living things, and as man is intimately associated with all other living things the subject is very essential. The following are a few of the topics taken up in the study of biology: bacteria that cause disease in plants and animals; bacteria that take nitrogen from the air and fix it in the soil; plants and animals as sources of food, clothing, shelter and heat; the injury to crops by insects; insects and pollination of flowering plants. The student will receive a knowledge of forests, field, wayside and farm life which will be of direct value in life. The courses offered are one-half year in length, Zoology being given during the first semester and Botany during the second. Although intended primarily for Sophomores, they are open to all above the Freshman year. Our laboratories are well and modernly equipped. New equipment is constantly being added. The scientific books purchased by the Leon Grant Yager Memorial Library Fund are an item of equipment of no small importance. The plan of study followed in scientific subjects is to introduce the topics first by study in the laboratory, where the student gains an understanding of the subject by personal contact and experience with the matter. This is then followed with work in the text books. Page Fifty-nine 1922 ffimnmmial Srpartnmit This is a day of special training- for special lines of work. No one can hope to cope with the keen competition of to-day unless he is highly trained along his line. The first thing required for success in the business world is an accurate knowledge of business affairs in general and of the business in which one is engaged in particular. A few years ago the old time business man learned all that he knew about business by doing. That time has passed. Competition is too close, and business men are too busy to take the time to teach young men and your.g women the fundamentals of business. Therefore, it is necessary that the public schools do this work. The demand for trained men and women has been so great in the past several years that great business concerns have established their own schools, and many private schools for the teaching of business have sprung up all over the country. It is only recently that the public schools have added the commercial course to their cm-riculum. The purpose of this course is to give the student a general knowledge of business affairs which will aid him in earning his living as a bookkeeper or stenographer, or in conducting his own business. Our work is as thorough as that of the business colleges of the state. This school offers courses in bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting, commercial geography, commercial arithmetic, economics, and business English. Students who complete the course satisfactorily are able to do good bookkeeping or stenographic work. Page Sixty $22 rluml Utsturif A sort of unorganized High School was started in Casey about 1892. A class of three graduated from it in 1895, this being the first graduation and commencement exercises held in Casey. In 1898, a high school was organized which has grown rapidly in attendance and has become a very important factor in the welfare of the community around and in Casey. The first superintendent was John Scurgham. He was superintendent, principal, and faculty, and was paid but a small salary. The board was as follows: Joel Weaver, Pres. Joseph Ingle S. S. Underwood, Secy. A. C. Garrison Wash Sanford Thomas Saunders A few years ago the Township High School was established. The township district is made up of eleven districts, nine are in Clark County and two in Cumberland. IJnrnt SCHOOL MEMORIES As Freshmen first we entered School To dig and fight and learn; As Sophomores we break the rule. And work we often spurned. In Junior year we take our ease, And dictate to the Freshmen; As Seniors then we bend our knee To honors revelation. And then into the world we come, To try untrodden ways; We’ve made good friends and studied some, Which helps us through the maze. So after long, long years have past, And dim our eyes have grown; Fond memories of High School days Remain with every-one. By J. W. Emrich. Page Sixty-one NAME ASPIRATION Olin Burnett .....

Page Sixty-four BOILER ROOM Page Sixty-five 1922 §ruuir Pniplimj SIBYLLINE LEAVES Early this morning, while walking in the woods looking for wild flowers, I met a beautiful stranger. She was dressed in a Greek costume of ancient date. Her hair was gathered in a knot and was confined with a golden filet. She walked with the gliding movement of the gods, and in her hand was a roll of parchment. I at once perceived that she was more than mortal. Because of that divine presence about her I was half-afraid to address her. Then I saw the kindly light on her face, and I knew that I had nothing to fear. She told me that she was descended from the famous Cumaean Sibyl, whom Virgil describes in his Aeneid, and, because of my interest in her art, that she had favored me with her appearance. I at once revealed to her the perplexity into which I had fallen; that I, a Junior, had been chosen to write the prophecy for the students of the Senior class. As I said this, she stood quite still, then, looking up, a new light streamed across her face. Without a word, she glided to a nearby oak-tree and, returning, handed me a bunch of leaves. Upon each green leaf appeared the name and date 1922, surrounded with a quaint design. Strange to say, although the events were twenty years in the future, the Sibyl regarded them as already taking place. “I first see Helen Strockbine,” the stranger mused. “She is giving singing lessons to a large class of students in Boston, and is loved by them all. After four years of faithful and efficient work, Jacob Geffs has gone to India to teach the poor heathen the gospel. Earnest Omdorff developed a fancy for horses. He has purchased the finest breeds, and exhibits them to crowded houses. After studying in America, Esta Lans-bery went to Europe, and on her return has become a teacher of languages in Wellesly College. Lela Walling has followed her chosen profession, and has established a stylish milliner’s shop in New York City; she has hundreds of customers each day; it is said that she charegs ten dollars for even a feather. After lengthy deliberation Clinton Green chose the medicinal line and he now adds M. D. to his name. Nelle Me Farling after deciding that housekeeping was her forte, purchased a large summer hotel where her profits enable her to remain idle during the winter. Ralph Foster chose his profession early in life; since there were no more worlds or savage tribes to conquer, he obtained the position of principal of West Point Academy, and he insists that every pupil drill or study at least three hours a day. The Woman’s Rights movement has a powerful, new leader in the person of June Nay. She has become recognized as the foremost champion in this cause. Merle Slusser is a dressmaker in St. Louis. She decided that it would be best to locate in a large city where she could give full vent to her artistic talent, and it is said that even Worth regards her products with envy. Stanley Boles decided to be an engineer. He pursued his education at the University of Illinois, and then took another course at Harvard. He is the finest electrical engineer in the country, and has found a method for obtaining the distances of stars. Aided by electricity he soon expects to make a visit to the moon. Florence Finney is a bookkeeper in a large publishing house in Cincinnati. She does not like her work; she says it is too dull after leading yells in C. T. H. S. a year. Two years Page Sixty-six 1U22 after graduation, Doris Pierson went to New York where she became the reigning belle in New York society. She soon married a promising young man and is now living in California. “Ralph Stohr with ever a smiling face, Drives the baker’s cart; He seasons pies with clove and mace And sells sweet cloves and tarts.” Lela Shuey has opened a refuge for stray cats and dogs. Here she lives a very pleasant life with her grateful charges. A large fortune was left Marie by her uncle. She purchased a house in Boston, and presides over it alone. All her old maid friends are invited to visit her and stay as long at they like. Rose Green attended the World’s Fair at Chicago, and there had an opportunity of learning about life in Central America. She became a governess in a very wealthy family, and leads a noble life. Harold Chrysler has at last realized the height of his ambition; he plays the cornet in Sousa’s band in New York. When Eunice Comer was twenty-three, she entered the Massachusetts General Hospital for the purpose of becoming a professional nurse. She graduated in two years, and is doing much good throughout the country. The Senior class can boast of one public speaker and that is Raymond Shimel. His most celebrated lecture is “In What Business Would You Advise a Short Boy to Engage?” He ably explains the many advantages which a short boy possesses, much to the delight of his audience. Evelyn Turner has become a poet and an author. Her poem “The Quaker” is best known, though her others also show originality. Her books are interesting and instructive. She has received much praise from her latest book, “How to Acquire Poise in Speaking”, and the latter is taken from actual practice, in which art she excels. Roy Hutton is a machinist. His latest invention helps pupils to keep awake during class, and to remember. It is considered very useful. Mildred Me Ginness, after studying for five years at the Boston Conservatory of Music, is now an instructor in that institution. She is a devoted teacher, and much admired by the students. Robert Phillips is a selectman, and is very popular. He has remained a bachelor, and is living with his parents at their pleasant home in Casey. Mary Forester has made her debut on the stage, and is slowly becoming famous. She plays in Boston and New York, but most generally in San Francisco, where she plays the part of Lady Macbeth with great success. Meredith Squires is still residing in his old-home town. He decided that it would be best to remain where he could secure his friends’ patronage. He has won an extensive and lasting reputation for his accurate surveying. Mildred Ruffner is an artist, and is very distingushed among the Amercan people. The finest products of her art are the skilled portrayal of her companions in pencil drawings. Lawrence Fox studied law at Harvard and is eminent in the profession. He is now the Chief Justice of the United States. Bessie Phillips is called the “First Lady” in Illinois. Her husband, the governor, is a brilliant man, but he says that he owes all of his success to the patient and helpful advice of his wife. Charles Barkley decided that his talent lay in the detective line.

Page Seventy : ---■ Jrealjman Utatnrij au Artittitiea In September 1921 we started in on our high school career. We were ninety-four verdant pupils from the grade school, fifty-six of which graduated from the Casey eighth grade in June. About thirty came from the north and sixteen from the south side and the rest came from country schools. The first day wras one of many experiences as the ninety-four freshmen appeared in the assembly for the opening of school. Mr. Kean soon appeared and after a short talk told us when and where our classes would meet. When the appointed time came some were in one room and some in another. It seemed as though we were constantly being looked over and being made fun of by the upper class-men. But finally, after a month of school we got together and chose our officers and advisors, which were; Kenneth Fox, president, Marie Hasley, vice president and Maurine Johnson, secretary and treasurer; advisors, Misses Brown and Price, and Mr. McCoy. We made great plans for the future but the only thing that has so far terminated is a Wiener Roast which we had in October. Our history by necessity has to be shortened but we will show you what we can do in the future. THE 1921 FRESHMAN RECEPTION The entire High School gathered in the gymnasium, September 27, to celebrate in honor of the new Freshman class. This is now an annual affair in the school, having started last year for the first time. All arrived in good time to participate in the pleasures of the evening and to become acquainted with the Freshmen. The main event of the evening was a track meet. Small slips, bearing the name of Chicago, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin Universities, were distributed among the pupils. The so called members of the Universities then e-lected a captain and each University occupied a corner of the “gym.” Different members of the faculty acted as judges and scorekeepers. The first contest was the “Discus Throw”, which was won by Chicago, the discus being a paper pie-plate. The “Hammer Throw” was an interesting contest, the hammer being a toy rubber balloon; it was won by Illinois. Other notable events were the“50-yard dash”, in which a string was tied to the contestants ankles; the “relay race,” in which peanuts were relayed from one box to another with a knife; and last but not least, a declamatory contest. The contestants were required to speak for one minute on an unknown subject. During the “meet” much yelling ensued for the different teams. The “meet” was won by Chicago; Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois, being next in line. After the verdict of the judges of the winners and distribution of prizes, all formed in line, and marched past the Domestic Science Kitchen, where refreshments were served. All had a good time and another was voted, for next year. WANT A I) COLUMN ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN Correspondence Wanted—Would like to correspond with some good looking young man. You need not answer if you do not have matrimonial intentions. A ddress Doris Pierson. Wanted Information—I would like to know how to win the affection:, of some member of the fairer sex. Lester Matheny. Wanted—Money to finance a hair cut for Lawrence Fox. People benevolently inclined, please leave offerings at assembly desk. Page Seventy-one =— ----------------r = r=r .- lJ22 ---------------------------------rr--------- i nrirU| THE SOPHOMORE WIENER ROAST The “Man in the Moon” smiled approvingly October tnird when ho saw the Sophomore class wending their way toward Toner woods, via automobile. As two crackling bonfires were at the disposal of the merry crowd, each member found a place in the lively circle. The echo of each yell and of each song was faintly heard after the voices had dropped away. Then, after having given vent to their enthusiam, the “eats” were distributed. And, while wieners were roasting and marshmallows toasting, the class humorist supplied the jokes. When the last of the wieners and marshmallows had disappeared and everyone’s keen appetite had been satisfied, the fires were reluctantly extinguished and the class started for home. SOPHOMORE HALLOWEEN PARTY On October 27 five Sophomore lads, namely; Munson Harris, Stanley Orr, Olin Hills, Merton Criswell, and Everett Seaton, entertained the remainder of the class at a Halloween party. After giving the mystic password, the masked figures passed up the stairs to the Armory Hall where they were greeted by the hosts. Moving about over the large room were clowns, dainty chorus girls, vagabonds, gypsies, and spooks arm in arm with negro mammies. Fortunes were told and no one unmasked until the arrival of the faculty. Then everyone still being masked, a flash light picture was taken. The evening passed quickly while the class did the usual Halloween “stunts.” Light refreshments were served, and at the same time the Victrola played. “Goodnights” were bidden and the class separated, to fade mysteriously away into the darkness. POST EXAM JUBILEE On Thursday night, February 23rd, the C. T. H. S. building was brilliantly lighted for the Post Exam Jubilee given by the Sophomores. By eight o’clock the spacious assembly hall was filled. The first number was a vocal solo by Frieda Dyer, which was highly appreciated. Faculty meeting was represented by members of the class, each individual wearing the clothing of the teacher he represented. As they displayed many little peculiarities of the teachers, the stunt was very amusing. A Scottish highlander-, in the form of Munson Harris, then appeared on the stage. He skillfully imitated Harry Lauder and then repeated the melody on his saxaphone. The audience next gazed upon a ward in a hospital. Two surgeons aided by trained nurses examined the moaning patient with instruments from the manual training department. A death pall hung over the room while the (artificial) limb was amputated. Then Gertrude Reed and Frieda Dyer sung a pleasing duet while standing behind an artificial rose. When the curtain again arose, it disclosed a charming Chinese garden. A clever two act play depicting Chinese life was then enacted. Scenery, costumes and players all received special attention and credit. The Thewah tribe of gypsies, garbed in the gayest of clothing and seated around a glowing camp-fire, delighted the audience with their singing. Their queen, Freda Grove, displayed remarkable ability in her prophecies. No doubt many students were surprised by the future predicted for them. After the wandering tribe had gone on their way, dainty old-fashioned flowers sprang into life on the stage. Dim lights and delicate colors gave a very pretty effect. Helen Myers sang “Old Fashioned Garden” as the “old-fashioned missus and the old-fashioned beau” wandered into the garden. Page Seventy-two — I 22 = = dlunun nrirtg WIENER ROAST The social life of the Junior class dates back to the night of September 15. On that night Toner school yard and all surrounding country was illuminated by the brilliancy of their camp-fire. The time had again arrived for their annual “wiener roast to go down in their class history. Hardly had the class arrived ere visitors, dressed in nightcaps and kimonas, began to flit by. The old sayings, “Gone, but not forgotten” holds true again, for the other classmen seemed to be celebrating, too. The intruders soon saw, however, that the Junior food supply was too firmly intrenched in a secure position, and decided to return to Casey. The Juniors then began to have a good time in earnest. The “eats” were simply delicious. The blaze was just high enough to roast the wieners thoroughly; the forked-sticks were just long enough to toast the marshmallows perfectly. Finally when the last “wiene” was eaten, and while the last flickei-s of dying embers from the camp-fire could be seen, the Jolly Juniors, with their chaperones, Miss Ruth Grant, and Mr. Newlin, departed through the moonlight, via truck, for home. After this class function school life wended its happy, but uneventful way, very swiftly indeed, considering the routine, until bright October days began to glide by. For with them, as every fun-loving Junior knew, came the rich fulfillment of October’s pi-omise, Hallowe’en. THE MASKED PARTY Can’t you just see ghosts and goblins and hear weird noises when you say Hall-ow-e’en? You know the Juniors could on October 28, when their class was delightfully entertained by Maude Boles at her country home south of Casey. After a long ride over bumpy roads on trucks the arrival was eagerly welcomed. How hospitable the house looked! Brave little Jack-o-lanterns adorned the veranda while happy guests proceeded to greet the hostess, cautiously pronounced the pass-word, “Broomsticks”, and entered the house, only'to be met by the clammy hand-shake of an unearthly ghost. What terror reigned when a low cold voice moaned “Beware”! When all outer wraps were removed, the guests entered the large living room which was beautifully decorated. Lovely flame colored leaves, briliant dogwood, all added to the artistic hand-work. Big, plump, yellow pumpkin faces with pretty backgrounds of myriad-colored leaves formed an impressive array, while over all, the mellow soft glow of the Jack-o-lanterns cast a ghostly friendly light. Then the fun began in earnest. Soldiers, clowns, Hawaiian dancers, Japanese women, even Aunt Jemima, were all represented. And when the masks were removed the merriment was extremely hilarious. A delightful little luncheon, in keeping with the Hallowe’en spirit, was served. But the football boys must be home early so the Juniors mounted the truck gave nine lustly cheers for Maude and jolted (?) merrily homeward. CARNIVAL The C. T. H. S. was a scene of gayety and brightness, Thursday night, December 8, when the Juniors held their fair. A well filled stand, decorated in sky-blue and pink, the class colors, was offered as the first attraction to the views of the crowd. Nearby, a unique Japanese garden held forth varied and pleasing promises. The dancing twins and the Negro minstrel proved equally attractive. And perhaps above all in the guests’ attention was the Fortune teller and her secrets. What eloquence and what powerful discernment. And the Hawaiian dancers! How lovely in their native costumes! Indeed, each feature was a treasure of interest or beauty in its own way. As the years pass by, the Juniors will look back upo that December night, so long ago, as one of the most pleasant and sucessful in their social career. Page Seventy-three 1922 Senior Swirly ELIZA COMES TO STAY For several years it has been a custom that the Senior class render a class play. Two years ago the class very successfully interpreted “Bringing up Father.” Last year the class set forth their dramatic talent in “Green Stockings.” The play was a grand success due greatly to the excellent coaching of Miss Swinehart. This year our class is preparing to present “Eliza Comes to Stay.” The setting is a delightful one in the charming breakfast room of Hon. Sandy Verrall’s apartment. The plot centers around Miss Eliza Vandam and every event leads to an unusual climax. As the play is under the direction of Miss Swinehart with her unusual ability we are assured of a complete success. The cast is as follows: The Honorable Sandy Verrall ..........................John Emrich Alexander Stoop Verrall ....................................Meredith Squires Montague Jorden ................................................Olin Burnett Herbert ..............................................Jacob Geffs Lady Pennybroke .....................................Evelyn Turner Miss Vera Laurence ..................................Mildred Ruffner Mrs. Alloway .........................................Mary Forester Eliza .............................................Nelle McFarling THE SENIOR KID PARTY All Seniors assembled and enjoyed themselves at a “Kid Party” held at the home of Doris Pierson, the evening of October 9, 1921. Speeches were made by all, including the Faculty. Games were played, and refreshments served, and all seemed to have a good time. THE MORNING AFTER THE NITE BEFORE Note—All were dressed in overalls and aprons, the costume of the nite before (Kid Party). By unanimous vote, it was decided to wear them to school the next day to show the Freshmen, who had to go to bed early the night before. PROGRAM OF SENIOR DAY All arrived on dress parade at the appointed hour. Marched single file around the room and on stage in mass formation. Entered the audience with a song and retired from the stage. Again advanced and repeated the performance of before. ------Bell rang and down we came to-------study (?).

Four and twenty Freshmen marching in a row Roaming over hallways; don’t know where to go; Enter in the lunch room for their English B Saunter into sewing for geometry; Here they find much gigling; there they find a frown “Mighty funny world,” they say, “In this high-school town.” “All of you were freshies once; you were like us, too. “Never mind, a few years more and we’ll get our due.” “What people don’t know don’t hurt them.” “Yes, I believe that in every case but one.” “When is that?” “In examinations.” “Why do we always speak of a blush creeping over a girl’s face?” “You have to use some such term, for if it went any faster it might raise a dust.” Ancient History puzzles me, I never could see why, After all the reigns we’ve had It still should be so dry.
