Little by little it has become better organized, with a larger attendance, larger teaching force, better buildings and better equipment. The Casey Township High School was established in December, 1915. Its territory is composed of all of Casey Township in Clark County and Districts 4 and 5 in Cumberland County. The Board of Education was elected in January, 1916, and bonds to the amount of seventy thousand dollars were voted in March of the same year for the construction of a building. Work on the new building started in March, 1917, and proceeded as rapidly as could be expected considering the abnormal condition of the times. Some delay was experienced in getting labor and material. However, the building was fully equipped and ready for occupancy in September, 1918. The Casey Township High School is located four blocks east and three blocks north of the intersection of Main street and Central Avenue, which is the business center of the city. The grounds, consisting of thirteen acres, furnish ample room for an athletic field and any practical work in agriculture that may be desired. The high school building is a beautiful structure of brick and stone and it adds materially to the beauty of the city and surrounding country. The study room will accommodate approximately 400 students. The gymnasium is one of the best in this section of the state, being seventy-two feet long, fifty-four feet wide and eighteen feet high. On one side is a gallery where three hundred spectators may sit in comfort and on the other a stage sixteen by twenty feet. When the gymnasium floor is filled with chairs, it makes a room with a seating capacity of approximately one thousand. This offers exceptional advantages for community gatherings. On the first floor are the principal’s office, library, six class rooms, two cloak rooms, and two toilet rooms. On the upper floor are three laboratories—physics, chemistry and biology; also the science lectur room, two class rooms, Dean of Girls’ office, three rooms for the commeiv . department, and a teachers’ rest room. In the basement on one side is located a locker room and shower for the boys. Also a large Agriculture room with solarium and a large, well lighted manual training room. On the other side are the girls’ locker and shower rooms, a kitchen, modern in every way, fully equipped, with a dining room adjacent. Opening into the dining room is a sewing room. These two rooms are connected by folding doors and can be thrown into one large room when necessary. The building is steam heated and ventilated with the fan system which insures an abundance of fresh air at all time. Gongs throughout the building, regulated by a master clock in the principal’s office, ring automatically. Each room has a telephone which is connected with the principal’s office. In fact nothing has been left out that would add to the efficiency and convenience of the school. Thirteen While the graduates of the Casey High School have always received liberal credit in higher institutions for work done here, we were not fully accredited with the University of Illinois until 1912, since which time we have maintained our high standing and now receive credit for all work done, and our graduates are admitted to the University of Illinois and other schools of equal rank without examination. In 1915 the enrollment numbered sixty and in 1918 the vocational subjects—cooking, sewing, manual training and agriculture, also, French and commercial work were offered for the first time. The faculty consisted of ten members. In 1925-26 the enrollment has almost reached the 400 mark—the faculty consists of 21 members, including a Dean of Girls and a librarian and the curriculum has been greatly enlarged. The equipment of the Casey Township High School building is modern throughout. The study room has all adjustable desks that can be fitted to a pupil of any size. The recitation rooms are equipped with pedestal arm seats. The laboratories are fully equipped with furniture and apparatus to give all experimental work under especially favorable circumstances. The principal’s office on the first floor is well furnished, with all modern conveniences suitable for an office of this character. Regular attendance is insisted upon. School is not only a preparation for life: it is life, and the habits pupils learn in school will be carried with them later into the business life. If, for any reason, a pupil is tardy or absent, a written excuse must be presented before the pupil returns to his class. The following subjects listed below are offered in C. T. H. S.— English—four years. Public Speaking—one year. Journalism—one-half year. Business English—one-half year. History, including Ancient, Medieval and Modern, and American— one year each. Mathematics, including Algebra, Plane Geometry—one year each. Advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry—one-half year each. Science, including General Science, Zoology and Botany, Chemistry and Physics—one year each. Latin—four years. French—two years. Manual Training—two years. Agriculture—three years. Music—two years.

The first list of books was selected by R. D. Kean, Superintendent of C. T. H. S. at that time. Many books have been added by the school board each year until our present library comprises 1800 volumes which cover the field of science, religion, sociology, biography, literature and history. The school board added about one hundred and fifty dollars worth of books to the library and this year a new set of encyclopedias, a set of World’s Best Orations and a number of single volumes have been received. There are 500 collateral reading books for special use in English classes, 400 reference books on History, 150 on social sciences, science 125, mathematics 40, music 30—besides the fiction group. In addition to the fifteen reference magazines including Literary Digest, Outlook, Asia, World Work, Time, Review of Reviews, National Geographic, Musical Courier, etc., there are many general magazines received regularly. In the newspaper files you will find the Chicago Tribune and various school and college papers. On the one side of the wall in the library is a large bulletin board which is in constant use—Outside reading lists in English, list of references in different classes and notices of interest to different students are placed on this bulletin board. Books can be taken out over night or on two weeks cards. The library is in charge of our capable librarian Miss Retha Miller and is open from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. Every period in every day finds many students looking up material on a wide variety of subjects. A LIFE WITHOUT BOOKS Busy that man must be indeed, Who thinks he has no time to read, No time to sit down and look Upon the pages of a book. So busy with his tasks of day, So eager, with the night to play. That Tennyson is thrust away! Near him are richer friends than those His daily wandering ever knows; Friends who would share his every mood And fill his heart with gratitude, But he’s so busy that he must Know Shakespeare merely as a bust, A bit of marble gathering dust. Busy that man must be, who finds No time for all God’s noble minds, Who sees them waiting all about, Takes tradesmen in and shuts them out. He lives his life on crowded streets, Listens to every man he meets, But has no time for Lamb or Keats. Fancy a garden wondrous fair With every lovely blossom there And at its farthest end a shop Where one to eat a bite could stop. Not to know books would he, I think, Like racing there to eat and drink, Blind to the roses, white and pink. Seventeen Eighteen ACADEMIC SUBJECTS ENGLISH The object of the English course is two fold—one part devoted to the practice in written and oral English, and the other to the study of literary masterpieces. More emphasis is placed on study of the history of Literature in the third and fourth years. For outside reading sixteen credits of work must be done each year—choice must be made from an approved list of standard authors. PUBLIC SPEECH The ultimate object of training for better speech should be to give the pupil a knowledge of how to improve himself and a will to put this knowledge into practice; in other words, to make the pupil an intelligent self critic. The principal studies are: 1. Articulation and pronunciation; 2. Usage; 3. Thinking; 4. Conversation; 5. Public Speaking; 6. Reading; 7. Acting; 8. Contests. Each member of the Public Speaking class gave a reading selected from either the Oratorical, Dramatic or Humorous group before the student body during the year. As we go to press, plans are being made to enter the County contests in the spring. JOURNALISM (One-half year) One-half year of journalism is offered which gives an introduction to the field of newspaper work, a study of methods of gathering news, editorials, reporting speeches and editing copy. The laboratory work for this course is the school paper—The Broadcaster. BUSINESS ENGLISH (One-half year) Business English begins with a discussion of fundamentals of English grammar and the application of these principles to business literature. Applied Business Correspondence is treated from the constructive point of view entirely. Its purpose is to develop effective Business English expression. FRENCH Popular demand for work in modern language has increased enormously in the last few years. In Casey High School the French department satisfies this demard. To meet the requirements of most colleges and universities, two years of French are offered. For several years the enrollment in these courses has been exceptionally large. The first year course consists of little save grammar work, the study of verbs being stressed. A certain amount of outside reading is done— “Pas a Pas” is used along with the grammar. In second year French, the rules of grammar are studied more in detail and the exceptions are noted. More ambitious reading is attempted, “Le Voyage De Monsieur Perrichon” and “Sans Famille” are both studied. Besides giving drill in reading French, these books are excellent in portraying different phases of French life. Nineteen LATIN Latin has always had a place in the curriculum of the Casey Township High School. For some time only two years of Latin was offered. But in 1923 a third year of the subject was added and in 1924 there was demand for a fourth year. The first year is devoted to the study of declensions and conjugations, translating of easy Latin and writing sentences in Latin and English. Attention is given to the study of English derivatives. In accordance with the findings of the Classical Investigation, the study of Caesar is postponed until the second semester of the second year. Latin stories of Roman History are read during the first semester. Some work in classical mythology is also done. Prose composition occupies three weeks of each semester. In the third year six of Cicero’s orations and some of his letters are read. A thorough course in Grammar Review and prose composition is given in the first semester. The first six books of Virgil’s Aeneid are read in the fourth year. Attention is given to mythology, Entomology, and Scansion. The Aeneid is studied as a masterpiece of literature. Selections from Ovid’s Metamorphoses conclude this year’s work. HISTORY The History Course is very extensive, and one wishing to devote much time to this subject will find a wide selection from which to choose. A full year is given to Ancient History in the second year, a year to Medieval and Modern history in the third, and a year to American history in the fourth. A half year of Civics and a half year of Economics are also offered in the fourth year. The American History department this year in addition to their daily work, put on two historical exhibits that were very interesting and educational. Antiques were salvaged from cellar and garret and made it easier for many to associate the remote with the present. Term papers of fifteen and twenty-five hundred words were typewritten and required for term credits. This was to give the student a wider knowledge of the use of references. MATHEMATICS Three years of work are offered in the mathematics department. One year of Algebra and one year of Plane Geometry are requii’ed for graduation, but the third year is optional. This last year, consisting of a semester, each of Advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry, is necessary for those who expect to study advanced mathematics or any kind of engineering. There is also one semester of Commercial Arithmetic offered but this belongs more properly with the other commercial subjects. In first year Algebra, the aim is to develop skill in using letters in the four fundamental operations and in solving simple equations in one or two unknowns. In geometry, the student is taught to work with figures of two and three-dimensional spaces, according to whether it is plane or solid geometry. The aim, throughout, is to develop original thinking, so that emphasis is placed on proofs of original exercises rather than memorizing proofs of theorems. Twenty MUSIC Casey has a right to be proud of her Music Department, which was organized in 1922 by our efficient music instructor, Miss Vivian Holmes. Although this is a comparatively new department, it is constantly being developed and being raised to a higher standard each year. Two years of classwork are offered, consisting of Sight-Singing, Music Appreciation, Harmony and Musical History. The separate units of this department consist of an Orchestra, Boy’s Glee Club, Girl’s Glee Club and Band. The Orchestra, consisting of twenty-three pieces, is larger this year than ever before. Under the capable dh ection of Miss Holmes it has done splendid work proving itself willing and ready at any time to present an interesting program. The Boy’s Glee Club organized in 1923, now has an enrollment of twenty-one who show an unusual amount of interest in the work. If the boys retain the fine spirit and zeal that Miss Holmes has instilled within them, there is no reason why the boys will not rank at the top of the ladder, when the contest judges render their official count. The work of the Girl’s Glee Club, with an enrollment of fifty-one voices, has been very successful. In the County Musical contest at Martinsville the Girl’s Glee Club placed second and Blanche Phillips took first place in the solo work. Much credit for the splendid work is due Miss Holmes. The Band had an enrollment of about forty-five and did a great deal to pep up the athletic contests during the year. They played at all the football and basketball games besides taking part in several concerts and pep meetings. The boys rehearsed faithfully twice a week and a marked improvement in execution and tone quality was the result. A minstrel show given by the Band in the Spring was a great success. They raised the money to pay for the new “Sousaphone” by this entertainment. Mr. Fletcher deserves much praise for his faithful work with the Band. Twenty-one GENERAL SCIENCE LABORATORY CHEMISTRY LABORATORY Tiventy-tivo SCIENCE When the present building was constructed, provision was made for three laboratories, two store rooms, and one recitation ix om to be used by the department of Physical Sciences. In this department the following courses are offered: General Science, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry and Physics. There are about one hundred-ninety students enrolled in these courses . General Science is a general study of all the physical sciences and not a special study of any one of them. Its purpose is to arouse scientific curiosity for the purpose of encouraging further scientific study both in and out of school with the idea of making pupils more intelligent and useful citizens. This subject is of special value to beginning students in high school who may leave school without further study in science. Experimental work in the laboratory is supplementary to regular text book work. The Botany and Zoology courses include the study of the life, habit, structure and function of plants and animals. Both plants and animals are considered from the standpoint of their economic importance. These courses are for the purpose of giving an understanding of vital processes and the structures which they involve that will lead the pupils to appreciate something of the organic world about them. The work illustrates the general principles of these sciences and the meaning and importance of biological control through the use of subject matter, materials, procedures, problems, and projects. Laboratory and field work based on typical examples supplements the material given in the text books and references. The laboratory is equipped for the pupils to do individual work. Chemistry is a very important and fundamental science which deals primarily with matter and changes it undergoes and therefore is a study of the underlying structure of all material things. The utility of Chemistry was most fully realized during the World War and as a result there has been a widespread interest in this subject in the last decade. The information is gained through material in the text books and by experimental work in the laboratory. The accommodations in the chemistry laboratory are such that each student may perform for himself, each experiment required in the course. Physics is a science which treats of matter and energy. It may be defined as that branch of science which deals with the physical changes taking place in matter. Many questions pertaining to our every day life are constantly arising. A study is made of mechanics, heat, light, magnetism, electricity, etc., through material in the text work and also by experimental work in the physics laboratory, where the students have access to apparatus for the study of different types of machines for the study of heat, light, magnetism and electricity. Each student has the opportunity of doing his own experiments in the various fields of physics. Twenty-three AGRICULTURE CLASS ROOM —I SEED HOUSE Twenty-four 7 THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT 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. Three courses are given at the present time, Animal Husbandry, which takes up the judging, feeding, care and management of livestock; Soils and Crops, which takes up the study of soils and growing crops; and Farm Mechanics, a new course, which was added this year. The Farm Mechanics building was constructed by one carpenter with the aid of the boys in vocational agriculture. The Ag. Club expects to pay for all of the equipment for the building. The boys in the Farm Mechanics class are making work benches, tool boxes, double trees, hay racks and sweet clover harvesters. Four boys will make harvesters this year and ten will be made next year. Harness work will come in next spring. Home projects to be executed are hog houses, poultry houses, gates, fencing, including the making of concrete fence posts and establishing of work shops. In 1919 the agriculture Club was organized for both social and educational purposes. The Soybean Club and Chinch Bug Corn Club have served their purpose admirably, while the Soil Improvement Club is most important at the present time. The activity of this club started in 1923 when free limestone was distributed to the boys taking agriculture. They worked in co-operation with their fathers agreeing to follow the limestone with sweet clover. Since 1923 forty boys have applied 350 tons of free lime to more than 100 acres. After these demonstrations of the value of sweet clover hundreds of tons of limestone have been purchased by farmers in this vicinity. In 1925 more than 1000 acres of this legume was grown by Ag. Club boys and their fathers. Harvesting the sweet clover seed crop has been tedious and unprofitable but now with the advent of the sweet clover harvester the crop is saved easily and economically. The Casey Ag. Club in 1924 constructed one of the new machines on the frame of an old binder. In this the stalk and stem is left on the ground, and yields as high as four bushels of clean seed per acre have been obtained. During the past two seasons the club has harvested 500 bushels of seed. The seed after harvesting is brought to the new seed house to be cleaned, hulled and scarified on up-to-date machinery. Since the first of 1925 the club has hulled, cleaned, and scarified 600 bushels of sweet clover seed, cleaned 400 bushels of red clover and 2000 bushels of soybeans, giving the farmers a service they could not get elsewhere at a very small cost. Service is the motto of the Ag. Club. Another phase of agriculture work is the exchanging of letters with boys of others states, thus broadening their acquaintanceship. Letters have been received from California, Kansas, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Vocational agriculture is a new and practical form of education for the boys of our country. There are over 160 vocational agriculture departments in Illinois and this work is felt to be of permanent value. The department of vocational agriculture in our high school stands ready to help, not only boys who enroll in the classes but all the agricultural interests of the community. Tiventy-five BOOKKEEPING ROOM TYPEWRITING ROOM Twenty-six COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department was organized about eight years ago. At this time only a few students were enrolled. Since its organization the department has grown until it now numbers about one hundred twenty students. About three years after the department was organized it outgrew its original quarters and another room was added. It has now outgrown these quarters and further expansion is impossible until an addition to the building is completed, at which time it is proposed to provide room enough to house the department for all time to come unless something unexpected should build up the enrollment. It is the aim of the department to give to those students who expect to go to college a knowledge of shorthand and typewriting sufficient for their needs while in college. It is also the aim of the department to give the students who do not expect to go to college as thorough a knowledge of business as the equipment and teaching force will permit. With another teacher in the department and some additional equipment we could offer a strong business course for both high school students and post-graduates. STENOGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT The shorthand and typewriting department has grown in size and efficiency since its organization eight years ago. This course offers two years of shorthand and two years of typewriting for those students who do not expect to go to college. In this length of time the average student should become proficient enough to hold any ordinary stenographic position. In 1924 the typewriting class won first place in the State Mass Typewriting Contest and was presented with a beautiful silver cup by the State Contest Manager. In 1925 the class won two first places, two second places and one third place in the District Contest. In the State Contest, Maxine Sturdevant, won second place for which she received a gold medal from the State Contest Manager. The typewriting class, also, won second place in the State Mass Typing Contest for which we received a silver shield. This year we intend to take several students to the State Contest and we have an excellent opportunity to win first place in the first year individual contest and the second year individual contest. We will also have strong typing teams and should make a good showing. FIRST YEAR TYPING CHAMPIONS SINCE 1920 The records given below are the highest made by any student during that year. Some of the records were not complete but the number of words written per minute as given below is probably correct. 1920— Russell Miller.......60 1923—Ruth Orr..............72 1921— Mildred McGinness....70 1924—Maurine Johnson.......72 1922— Rachel Richardson...70 Doris Brasel 72 1925—Maxine Sturdevant ...76 1926—Hilda Dehl (to Feb. 16) ....69 Twenty-seven MANUAL TRAINING SHOP MANUAL TRAINING DISPLAY Twenty-eight MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT The Manual Arts department, as pictured, has one large room in which are twenty-four E. H. Sheldon work benches, each equipped with the following tools: a jack plane, smooth plane, back saw, firmer chisel, slayd knife, screw driver, marking gauge, twenty-four inch ruler, bench brush and tee-square. Extra hand tools are conveniently arranged on one wall and may be had at the will of the students. The power equipment of the shop consists of one 30 American band saw, one American Single Arbor Bench saw with Dado head and mortising attachment using any size auger bit or mortizing bit, one grinder, a Wallace bench jointer and two American saw mill wood lathes. Two years of Manual Training are offered with the result that usually there are two first year classes and one second year class. The first year is spent in learning the names, parts and uses of the various tools, beginning with the simple ones and gradually taking up the more complex ones. The wood work is planned in the same way so that as the students’ knowledge of tools increases so does his ability to use them, until at the end of the first year he is competent to plan and construct a complex project. When the student starts his first project in wood work he is given a drawing of the piece he is to make and is shown the tools needed in making it. Before actual work starts his tools are studied so that he is familiar with the parts, knows how to sharpen or care for them and also knows something of the materials of which they are made and the approximate cost. Each piece is worked out in the same manner with the exception that as the student progresses in wood work he also keeps pace in Mechanical Drawing with the result that in a little while he is first making a working drawing of the piece he intends to make. Two two-hour periods a week are spent in drawing. This, as in wood work, is begun with the study of instruments, lines, etc., necessary in drawing and leads to the actual use of these facts. Drawing is offered during the two years of Manual Training. During the second year the student does architectural drawing. All students are furnished in drawing, good instrument sets, drawing boards, angles, French curves, and architectural scales. The second year of wood work is devoted to cabinet making and lathe work. All lumber used in the construction of projects is bought before the school begins in the fall and is given out to the students as they need it. Paints, stain, sand paper, hardware, etc., also, are furnished. Throughout the entire course we strive for three things, interest, neatness and accuracy in the hope that sufficient interest in the work will be aroused to cause many of the students to equip a work shop of their own at home or perhaps go to some place where a more complete course in Manual Arts is offered. In May of every year the Manual Arts department has a display of the work done in the shop that year. The picture shown is one half of the display of last year. Something like three hundred and fifty articles were displayed, consisting of buffets, tables, book cases, console-type radio and phonograph cabinets, beds, etc., in fact practically every piece of furniture found in the ordinary home. Twenty-nine GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The aim of the Girls’ Physical Education Department is to promote health—not just a negative condition represented by absence of physical defects, but glad, radiant, positive, abundant health; develop strong muscles, strong, well poised bodies, organically sound, good nerves, muscular control, set standards of living, establish ideals, and to teach a wise use of leisure time. The year’s work began with a physical examination of every high school girl, which was followed by registration of name, date of birth, age, classification, clinical history, physical examination and posture. The physical examination resulted in giving each a different colored card which showed their physical efficiency; defects according to normal, overweight and underweight. This is the first year this department has had organized athletics— the year’s work being divided into fall, winter and spring activities. The fall activities includes outdoor sports—tennis, volley ball; the winter activities includes gymnastic marching, military marching, full hand exercises, folk, character and aesthetic dancing and upper class girls organized basketball. In addition to these regular activities, the volley ball tournament took place at this time. The spring outdoor activities included volley ball, tennis and plans for hockey and soccer. The indoor spring activities included Indian club, dumb bell and wand drills. The special activities that this department has sponsored are the volley ball game played by the Freshman girls for their mother’s tea. At the Mother-Daughter banquet on Feb. 25, the Senior Girls in Colonial costumes entertained their mothers with the Virginia Reel and Minuet. Thirt if The spring demonstration given May 20, of the work done in the department consists of the following: 1. Grand March—Gymnastic marching and free hand exercises. 2. Indian Club, dumb bell and wand drills. 3. Volley ball game and tennis game. 4. Aesthetic folk and character group— Little Miss Muffet by Freshman girls (English). Minuet and Virginia Reel by Senior girls (English). Little Tin Soldier bv Sophomore and Junior Girls (American). Highland Fling by Freshman and Sophomore girls (Scotch). Phyosovia by Freshman and Sophomore girls (Russian). Sleepy Time by Freshman girls (American). It is hoped that next year a point system as follows may be used and we will then be eligible for the Illinois State League High School Girls’ Athletic Association— 1. Points—not more than four points a year for each girl. 2. One point for winter work—basket ball, gymnastic marching, Indian club, dumb bells, folk and character and athletic physical education, corrective gymnastics and passive exercises. 3. One point for spring work—volley ball, tennis, hockey (probably), soccer. 4. By earning a Hygiene point—balanced and regular meals, systematic daily exercises, average of eight hours of sleep, suitable shoes, suitable clothing and limitation of social activities. Conclusion: (1) Eight points—two years member of organization. (2) Twelve points three years receive chevron (purple and gold). (3) Sixteen points four years, receive letter. We will need G. A. A. board—Girls’ Athletic Association, composed of President, Secretary, and Treasurer, Social chairman, and head of outdoor activities all upper-classmen. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE I. Thou shalt not quit. II. Thou shalt not alibi. III. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. IV. Thou shalt not be a rotten loser. V. Thou shalt not take unfair advantage. VI. Thou shalt not ask odds thou art unwilling to give. VII. Thou shalt always be ready to give thine opponent the shade. VIII. Thou shalt not under estimate an opponent, nor over estimate thyself. IX. Remember that the game is the thing and that he who thinketh otherwise is a mucker, and no true sportsman. X. Honor the game thou playest, for he who playeth the game straight and hard, wins even when he loses. Thirty-one GYMNASTICS BOYS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION PICTURE One year of gymnastics is required of all Fi’eshman boys in school and may be taken by any other student if he so desires and can arrange his program accordingly. This year fifty-one boys are enrolled in two classes, meeting alternately, twice a week for one period. Suitable clothing, consisting of a pair of loose-fitting cotton trunks, light sleeveless jerseys and basketball or tennis shoes are worn by the boys and are kept in a locker room, used solely by the Gym boys. Each boy has a steel locker issued to him, which is equipped with a combination lock. Ample dressing room space together with five shower baths does much toward making the course a profitable and pleasant one. The exercises used closely follow those employed in Swedish gymnastics and are composed of the following groups: Order exercises: breathing exercises; leg and arm exercises; arching movements; lateral trunk exercises; balance exercises; abdominal exercises; back and shoulder blade exercises; suspension and arm support; jumping; vaulting; running and games. Order exercises include marching and facings and any exercises involving quick or unexpected changes of position or direction and therefore demanding a combination of high degree of attention. These exercises may be called “warming up” exercises because they are given to prepare the students for more strenuous work to follow. Thirty-two Leg exercises involve the muscles of the hip, thigh, and lower leg. Lateral trunk exercises affect the muscles in the region of the waist and loin. Arching movements are given to correct faulty posture. In ordinary walking and moving about, in standing or sitting, the weight of the head, shoulders and arms tend to pull that part of the body forward. Once the balance of these parts is lost it requires great effort to correct it and any effort toward correcting it causes the student to feel strained and unnatural; therefore only continued corrective exercises in gymnastics accomplish the desired results. The principal type of lateral trunk exercises are sid bending and twisting, combined with arm movements, foot placings, charges, lunges, leg movements, and many forms of jumping and vaulting, climbing and tumbling. Each group of exercises affects some part of the body and each group is given with that in mind. Heavy gymnastics are given on the parallel bars. Elementary work is first given by having each student practice supporting the weiehi of his body with a hand on each bar; after which they learn to walk the length of the bars by taking a step alternately with each hand. This is followed by traveling by a series of jumps, both hands hitting the bars at once and at the same time keeping the body erect, toes pointing down. Many exercises follow in which confidence, stiength and agility are combined. A portion of each class period is given over to competitive games and tumbling. In tumbling the students are shown how to take off on one foot and then off on both feet. The positions in landing are demonstrated and individual training is given so that the position of the head is noted and remembered. As soon as a little practice is had, the students a;e allowed to run and tumble, then high dive and distance dive and later turn hand springs and “flip-flops,” etc. No student is asked to tumble unless he volunteers to do so. Games of all kinds are played and keen rivalry is expressed in any game that calls for competition. As a check on the results of the course, we have two physical examinations. One is given the first term at which time the student’s age, height and weight is taken. His chest is measured, deflated and then inflated and the expansion noted. A chart is made of these measurements showing the actual record taken. To this chart is added the weight each student should be. This chart is posted in some convenient place where the students have free access to it and can note at will any physical changes going on. The second examination is given in the same way as the first and the records are posted. This chart not only is interesting to the students but it serves as a basis for working out individual corrective exercises. Thirty-three COOKING COOKING ROOM Since its organization the Cooking department has been a very important factor in the institution. Girls, knowing the immense demand for bachelor-buttons are making heroic efforts to ward off a panic of such emblems. It is, by these efforts, that this organization claims its success. The Cooking class is divided into three sections. These take care of forty-eight girls. The equipment, being of the very best is such that it can accommodate eighteen girls in a section. Those upon whom the success of the girls’ art has been tried this year are: Ag. Boys, business men and their wives, Mother-Daughter tea, Football boys, Washington party, Mother-Daughter reception and Junior-Sen-ior banquet. We honestly believe that from the savory odors arising from the kitchen and penetrating even the remotest nook of the building that any man could be made happy by the art of the cooking girls. SEWING One year of sewing is offered in the Casey High School. Thirty-five gii-ls took advantage of this course this year. During the first of the year the girls did some of the simplest forms of hand sewing and continued during the year with moi’e difficult problems until spring when they made their dresses. This year at Christmas time the girls made Christmas gifts and had a display of their work in the corridor of the high school. At the Mothei’-Daughter reception the girls of the clothing class displayed the costumes worn by the people of the different countries in Europe. The countries represented were: England, Scotland, Holland, Belgium, Alsace-Lorraine, Switzerland, Italy, and France. An exhibit of the work done by the class and a style show were given by the clothing class in April. Thirty-four Thirty-five O. V.

Fifty-eight Yd SENIOR HISTORY Springtime and the breath of roses—stray sunbeams filtering gently through a tiny window into a shadowy, memory-haunted attic where seated in a large arm chair is a little old lady in lavender and lace. Before her is an open trunk containing many things reminiscent of her long past girlhood. Suddenly she gasped excitedly and picked up a bulky, yellowed little memory-book, such as had been the fashion among school girls two generations before. As she slowly turned its pages, her eyes grew thoughtful, the dusky attic and the old trunks faded away, fifty years rolled back, and— In September, 1922, the class of 1926 was first organized and these officers elected: Thelma Myers, President; Charles Myers, Vke-Presi-dent, and Rhondal McGinness, Secretary-Treasurer. The much needed class advisors are Miss Payne, Miss Brown, and Mr. Gordon. It is the next year, the class begins to reveal its supremacy in school activities. By a second election Norval Green is made President; Henry Smith, Vice-President, and Frieda Fox, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Call, Miss Payne, and Mr. Gordon are the class advisors. It was during this year that the Sophomores ran a close second to the mighty Seniors in the inter-class meet. This was also the year of the Sophomore Carnival, preceded by a dress parade through town. Their motto was W. O. S.—Watch Our Sophomores. As Juniors this now illustrious class selects the following members for class officers: Ned Burr, President; Frieda Fox, Vice-President, and Kermit Dehl, Secretary-Treasurer, with Miss Call, Miss Davis and Mr. Gordon as advisors. The Juniors were dominated by one purpose—to make the Junior-Senior Banquet a unique and out-standing success, a desire that was realized. And yet they found time to put forth many other worthy efforts. For instance, the feat of winning the class track cup. This class has been favored throughout the entire four years by a wealth of energetic, capable and willing workers. At no time have the members of the class been asked for help or assistance in any school enterprise when they did not respond with pep and enthusiasm. Finally, the class of ’26, serious Seniors now, holds its last election. Those who are chosen to lead the final dash to victory are Kermit Dehl, Robert Arnold and Maxine Sturdevant. Miss Call and Mr. Gordon remain as class advisors, with W. O. S.—WATCH OUR SENIORS as their motto. We were always well represented in athletics and as Seniors we were especially proud of Nash, Myers, McGinness, Hensick, H. Ewing, Jenu-ine and Manager Hartman on the football field and Lee, Myers, McGinness, H. Ewing, Hensick who were our star basketball players. The usual social events of the Senior year were enjoyed by all, but put into insignificance in comparison with that most important accomplishment of the entire four years—the publishing of the 1926 FLAME. ♦ ♦ ♦ The old lady in lavender sighed happily, as she started to replace the treasured volume. Just then a fragile paper napkin fluttered from its page to the floor—a souvenir of the “Just-A-Mere” Club’s backwards party. Just a little old lady smiled proudly. For just a few days before “Just-A-Mere” Club, that well-known organization of high school girls had celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. And it had been the Senior girls of her class who had first organized the club in 1926. Fifty-nine THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE LIGHT OF ’26 In the presence of these witnesses, whereas, the class of 1926 being about to graduate from the Casey Township High School and, hence, it is deemed fitting and proper by the alumni that the aforesaid class bequeath to its Alma Mater and successors, namely, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen such blessings and privileges that the aforesaid class deems fit to endow; we, the members of the 1926 graduating class, being sound of body and strong in earthly wisdom do hereby dispose and claim (no swearing allowed) that this is our final will and testament, uttered, testified, witnessed and sealed this 26th day of March in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-six, in the county of Dew-Well, city of Greatness, and state of Insanity. Subscribed to the belief that all men, women and children are created equal even in high schools; protected by the law passed by our government in 1734 that gives every American so-called freedom of the press, we the deceased do bequeath:— To the deplorable class of 1927 the honor to sit in our dilapidated seats that have thus far served their purpose well. To the perverse Sophomores the right to challenge the Junior class at any time and for anything. That you may both be victorious is the earnest desire of your benefactors. To the ripening Freshman class we give the cherished privilege of staying out later on frosty evenings. We do also bequeath to the Freshman class the right to cut off your nose to increase your bad looks, in this way we hope that our eminent class can serve as an ideal and standard in which you may recognize it as a bright and leading star. To the C. H. S. faculty we leave you an everlasting peace of mind and a satisfaction to know that 92 more souls have drifted out upon the sea of “Do Well” through your illustrious teaching. And to the persons whose names follow we bequeath the said rights, articles and privileges, which of course, are to be accepted with pleasure and smiles:— To Thelma Pate and Helen Lee, Irma Cutright leaves her surplus avoirdupois to be equally divided. To Thomas Coats, Theron Adkins wills 15c to be used for a shave and hair-cut at Theron’s barber. To Francis Dollar, Jaunita Kackley bequeaths her ability to talk in the study-hall while Mr. Beck has charge. Lena Hiems endows Helen Tuttle with 3ft. and 9% in. of her height. Helen keep your eye on Lena and do the best you can. To Russell Williamson, Wayne Miller leaves his skill as a poet to be used only in writing blank verses. Sixty Lena Ury leaves her secret of “Marcel Waves” to Lily Chrysler. Lily will find this secret in Lena’s vault at the First National Bank and is to gain possession of it on her sixteenth birthday. To Homer Orrell, Kermit Dehl leaves his chauffeur license to be used only in driving a Chevrolet sedan. Kermit hopes Homer will be blest with great success. Delmar Hartman wills his popularity with the Sophomore girls to Carl Carruthers. Here is your chance Carl. To Paul Fouraker, Ethard Lee leaves his basketball ability. Bernadeen Hills bequeaths her cherished secret of reducing to Mildred Chrysler. Cash Taylor has nothing to will but Dorothy and for the mercy of the insane asylum we will not separate them. To Birdie Cutright, Grace Deverick leaves her ability to “land a beau.” Chas. Myers leaves his sympathy to the light-hearted Juniors who enter the realm of American History blindfolded as to its many pit-falls. To Thelma Sutherland, Lillian Brewer leaves her ability as a Movie Star. To “Pete” Weaver, Dean Harper leaves his “heart-breaking” moustache. To Bertie Howe, Maxine Sturdevant wdlls her becoming “twinkle of the orbs” and ability to act “cute.” To Gladys Watts, Eva Groves leaves her boyish-bob. To Irene Lacey, Marie leaves her success “to boss.” To all classes in following years, the privilege and right of absorbing as much knowledge as we leave and the “vacuum” will allow. To the school as a whole, the wish of this graduating class for a bigger, better, and more illustrious high school. To the class-rooms and spacious halls we leave many pleasant memories. In the sight of those witnesses, we hereby set our hand and seal. (Signed) Class of 1926. No. 01926 O. I. Fixem. Chief Magistrate. Wrote and sealed this 26th day of March, 1926. (Will stand good for ages if read before April 1, 1927.) Witnesses: I no Walters, Prof. Effie Beck, Esq. Sixty o i2 CLASS PROPHECY As I sat in my stateroom on board the Mars-bound airship, Luna, in the fall of ’38. I happened to pick up a late copy of Robert Arnold’s great newspaper, “The Morning Sunset.” In glancing through the paper I noticed a topic headed “News Concerning the Class of ’26, C. T. H. S.” I proceeded to copy the essence of this article, and now give it to you unchanged. Darrell Redman has just received an appointment from the war department ; he will instruct a negro regiment in the use of the razor. Harold Nash, the evangelist, is now doing missionary work in the Fiji Islands, and is ably assisted by Preston Jenuine. Kermit Dehl is the “hot dog” king of Japan, and his sister, Hilda, is running a pool hall in Mexico. Rhondal McGinness has been confined in a home for the weak-minded ever since he was defeated for President by Delmar Hartman; the authorities have no hope for his recovery. Leland Sharp recently won the heavyweight boxing championship from Theron Adkins, after a heated battle. Several notables attended the fight, including Howard Ewing, head of the Ewing Carpet Tack Co., his charming wife, formerly known as Lillian Brewer, whose time is now taken up in the rearing of six children, Glenn Kite, the junk yard inspector, and Herman Hills, Professor of English at Harvard College. Ruth Bradford and Joe Collins are starring in the new moving picture released by Arney Son Film Coi’poration. The play was taken from Norval Green’s great novel, “Screaming Wives” and was adapted for the screen by Mrs. Walter Lacey, whose pen name is Dana Evans. Lena Ury is at present doing time in Sing Sing for the murder of her fiance, Rhyne Brewer, the noted whisky manufacturer, and her old companion, Ruth Eystone, now known as Mrs. Lindsey Collins, is living in luxury in Alaska. Ethard Lee is recuperating from the injuries attending his experiment on a new explosive. He recently issued the statement that his recovery was entirely due to the medical skill of Dr. Harry Foster of the great Frieda Fox Hospital, which was erected by William Stiff in memory of a boyhood love. Earl Hensick’s time has been occupied in putting before Broadway a new edition of the Follies, the principals of which are Irma Cutright and Lena Heim. A great bolsheviki movement has been brought to light by the efforts of Joe Burke, criminal investigator. The leaders, Charles Myers and Wayne Miller of the Amalgamated Soap Suds Corporation, were hanged for treason. Maxine Sturdevant, who bought the moon a few years ago in the hope of monopolizing the cheese industry, has reported to Marion Johnson, the head of the scientific department of Yale, that on a trip to the moon she found a group of savages under the leadership of a former earthling, Dorothy McKean. Three of her companions on the trip, Juanita Kack-ley, Marie Hiers, and Gertrude Gaines, testifies to the statement. Little is known of the where-abouts of Gladys Rush and Rhoda Mills. But it is believed by Herman Huffman, the great mythologist, who has been working on the case, that they have probably wandered off in a day dream and lost their way. Loreata M. Taney, the well-known Comic Actress, better known as Bertha Mills, sailed early Tuesday morning for Germany. There she will erect a home for the feeble-minded in honor of her life-long friend, Sixty-two Nina Kelly. Ernest Cramer, professor of Personal Arts and the Prince of Wales clashed in a duel at sunrise this morning. The cause of their argument is probably to win the smiles of Lady Augusta, the late widow of Wayne Owen, Duke of Flanders. Ned Burr, the noted historian, celebrated his thirty-first birthday Friday at his home in Suicide Lane, Alaska. Effie Hickox, better known as Madame Anne opened her Art Studio on 153rd street in Casey, November 13. She is now engaged in the moulding of her masterpiece, the revised Statue of Liberty. Ilene Tripplehorn was her model. Reed and Harper’s great Animal Circus passed through this place this morning with all animals and natives of the African continent captured and trained by the Proprietors’ own skill. Their one special feature was Otis Huffman the world-famed rat eater and his bride of three weeks, The Fat Lady of the Circus, who was one day known as Vena tults. Mr. Huffman has just returned from Jupiter and he reports that there are fat and luscious rats on the planet. The last that was ever seen of Audrid Aldridge, the famous mind-reader, and astronomer was ten years ago in her studio at LaPorte. It is said that in the prediction of Harry Umbarger’s future she fell into a deep trance and the witnesses, Frieda Daughhettee, Esther Sidwell, Elsie Chrysler and Bernadeen Hills testify that the lady, with her eyes toward the stars and her arms out-stretched, arose upward into space. Harry died soon after from the shock. The George Washington Lansberry School of Electrical Engineering was closed today and draped with crepe. The ambitious Professor G. W. Lansberry expired yesterday morning. It is said that in his attempt to retain the youth of his wife, Velma, by a late invention of his own, that she became so charged with electricity that she gave him one withering look and he died from the shock. Edra Smith, the first lady inventor, has just placed on the market her first product—Smith-bearcat, a huge, high-powered auto with up-to-date attachments very much like those of the 1926 Ford. The Montgomery and Groves barber shop has proven a success. Hairdressing, boyish bobs and “Switch Rat” manufacturers are their specialties. Thomas McMillin accompanied by his body-guard, Wayne Bailey is out on parole. He has been sentenced to serve 99 years and life for stealing watermelons. Mabel McCash has sued Ralph Deverick for breach of promise and it is reported that the young man will be sentenced to serve in the State Penitentiary for life. Ruth Poffenbarger, chief of the Crooked Crooks of Crooked Creek was captured yesterday. Those of her notorious band are Pearl Hiers, Grace Deverick and Bertha Knecht. By this capture the community hope they will be free of “window-peepers,” horse-thieves, chicken thieves and desperate characters. News was received over the radio this evening that Cash Taylor, the famous “Re-Taylor” and wife, Dorothy, were getting a divorce. Mrs. Taylor’s case on the grounds of failing affection. Albert Paugh, who is an undertaker in Germany, recently had the unpleasant duty of burying four prominent suffrage leaders, Nina Kelly, Edna Freeland, Dorothy Scott, and Blanche Collins, who were killed in a bomb raid. Needless to say, I threw aside the paper with extreme disgust, and, taking out my well-worn pipe, smoked contentedly as the giant airship flew through space. Sixty th p“ CLASS POEM Four years ago we entered here To study and to learn, But now we have all reached the end, And from this path must turn. Four years are gone, four years of joy, To the most it has been so, But we must leave you now, dear School And to other places go. In all of your activities We’ve tried to do our best, And we believe we’ve helped you some, Along with all the rest. As we go out into our life, And trod in new found ways, Our memories will oft return To the joys of High School days. So dear high school, and all our friends, We now bid you adieu; And to the classes following us, We wish good luck to you. W. Miller, Class Poet.

McDaniel Della Yelton Reese Hilty Esther Orr Homer Orrell Sam Yanaway Sixty-seven “Gee! I wish someone else would write this class history. Helen, do you remember way back there in an early day in September, 1923, when a noisy, boisterous bunch of eighth grade graduates set out for high school? Didn’t we think we were the most important things in forty-eight states? But that’s not saying what the Seniors and the other upper classmen thought and were going to think. “At our first class meeting we held an election. The class advisors had a time teaching us some parlimentary laws but once we got the “drift,” we elected Iris Emrich, President; Homer Orrell, Vice-President; Earnest McCambridge. Secretary; and Leona Shrider, Treasurer. Mr. Brewer selected Miss Poage, Miss Booker and Mr. Tade as our advisors. Later in the year we voted on class colors which were cerise and silver. “In the early part of October they held the Freshman reception and there’s where the larger part of us furnished amusement for the rest of the school. “In September 1924 we came back again some what less in quantity but with much more quality. Oh! how we dreaded enrolling, but we did it just the same. This year we elected Homer Orrell, President; Margaret Lucas, Vice-President; and we thought maybe Earnest McCambridge could be trusted with the money (there was so much) and the books also, therefore, he was secretary and treasurer. This year our sponsors were Miss Poage, Miss Booker and Mr. Beck. “We are proud to say that our class had more men out for football this season than any other class even though it was the smallest one in school. Do you remember how Mr. Beck complimented us? “Do I? And wasn’t Raymond Partlow elected football Captain for the ’25 squad? Reese Hilty was the star guard on the basketball team. They had our class support at all times. “We also entertained the faculty and ourselves by having a Hallowe’en party. “At the beginning of this term the following officers were elected: President, Raymond Partlow; Vice-President, Clarence Ballinger; Secretary and Treasurer, Earnest McCambi'idge and since they showed interest in the class and each other Miss Jordan and Mr. Beck were chosen as our class sponsors. “On December third and fourth we presented to the public the three-act play, “Amazon Isle”, under the direction of Mr. Fletcher. “In athletics our men showed up well, with only one man, Kenneth Tracy being injured, and we’re very glad to say that he has recovered. “When our turn came to entertain the assembly, we put on a wedding of Athletics and School Spirit, as it was near the end of the football season, and the pep was dragging. Our president, Ray Partlow, who was also captain of the football team, was the groom, Heeza Footballer. Richard Collins, the bride, was lavishly dressed in white taffeta and a large white hat. Many representatives of the athletic world were present. As a climax to the program, the Four Horsemen of C. H. S. sang a couple of new school songs. They wore sailor’s trousers and caps and football sweaters. “Now our greatest worry is the Junior-Senior banquet, but with our movies, bake sales, etc, we’ll put it over a H show the worthy Seniors what we really can do.” Sixty-eight SOPHOMORES CLASS OFFICERS President ..................

T. H. S. We were looked down upon by the Senior class and all the upper classmen, but after we had won a few contests they didn’t think us such a bad lot, after all. We were the yelling squad when it came to pep meetings. Miss Ormsby, Miss Robertson and Mr. Tade were our advisors. We elected “Pete” Beeson, President; Inez Taylor, Vice-President; Rhea Fox, Secretary, and Geneva Hitt, Treasurer. We attended the usual Freshman Reception and gave the Juniors a weiner roast. We were a very active class in our first year and laying everything aside, our outstanding accomplishment was the Stunt Show. The Seniors, to advertise and help in the sale of the annuals, sponsored a Stunt Show offering a page in the annual for the class with the best stunt. After much unharmonius noise and crude constructions of musical instruments we surprised C. H. S. and the dignified upper-classmen by our miniature Sousa’s Band, (with all apologies to Sousa). As predicted, we succeeded and won the prize page in the 1925 Flame. In May we gave a farce May-Fete which was a very effective stunt to be given by amateurs. Of course, we were called Freshmen all year but the upper-classes had to acknowledge our great possibilities. Thus ended the first and hardest year of our career. Next fall most of us came back to enter school as Sophomores. Now we can laugh at Freshmen jokes and enjoy them. We elected Harold Beeson, President; Bernadine Johnson, Vice-President; Rhea Fox, Secretary and Geneva Hitt, Treasurer. Miss Robertson and Mr. Tade are still with us as class advisors. On the eve of the Annual Foot-ball game we entertained the Assembly with a radio party. Sorry to say, our ambitions were too high in our broadcasting the score of the “morrow” but the entertainment was enjoyed by an. Of our noted men on the football and basketball squad, we are very proud. By James Abraham, “Pete” Beeson and Harry Beeson and others we claim our fame. We expect to accomplish a great many things next yeai Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And in parting leave behind us. Foot-prints in the sands of time. —Longfellow.

Team, ’23, ’24; Captain, ’25; “Jack” is a steady and capable tackle, always fighting. Doing his best for his Purple and Gold warriors. Harold Beeson “Pete Sophomore. Team, ’24, ’25. “Pete” was a big man. He played right-tackle and full-back. At both places he proved himself to be a steady, dependable man. Many things are expected of him next year. Albert Ewing “Ab” Junior. Team, ’25, Captain-elect, ’26. “Ab” played right-guard and was found, by the opponents, to be a “stone wall” in that position. Carr Kemper “Kemp Junior. Team, ’25. “Kemp” played at guard on either side of the line. He proved himself capable of playing this position to perfection. Seventy-eight Harry Beeson “H Sophomore. Team, ’24, ’25. “H” played at center and as a pivot man none could be better. Next year “H” will shine among the centers in the “Little 16.” Chauncey Parker Huff Junior. Team, ’24, ’25. “Huff” played left guard and right-tackle. “Huff” although strong physically had little trouble in displacing his opponent when he wore his fighting-face. Robert Elliot Bob Junior. ’24, ’25. Known to all his opponents as “Fighting Bob.” “Bob’ could throw a wonderful pass but he could receive them much better. “Bob” played end. Earl Hensick Henry Senior. Team, ’24, ’25. “Henry” was a cool, unexcitable half-back and end. Probably later we shall hear of him as another “ice-man.” Seventy-nine Howard Ewing “Tuffy Senior. Team of ’25. “Tuffy” like Britton had a wonderful “punch” behind the ball and he made some spectacular end runs. He filled the position of both fullback and right halfback in an excellent manner. Rhondal McGinness “Guinea” Senior. Team, ’24, ’25. “Guinea” was good for five yards through the line or off tackle anytime five yards was needed. He was called “Five-yard McCarty” by his team-mates and opponents. “Guinea” played quarterback and left half-back. Preston Jenuine “ Wide-open” Senior. Team, ’25. “Wide-open” proved to be a good “field general.” He is noted because he secured the first touchdown, on the home field, of the season. “Wide open” played quarterback. Charles Myers “Chas Senior. Team, ’24, ’25. “Chas” played his part at quarter-back. He made many spectacular runs being a shifty runner. Eighty Harold Nash Helsfire” Senior. Team, ’25. “Helsfire” played at end and as a man for breaking up the opponents interference none could be better. Kenneth Tracey Skin” Junior. Team, ’25. “Skin” played end but was injured early in the season. But while he played he proved to be a steady, capable, courageous player. Delmar Hartman Dutch” Senior. Manager, ’25. In this lad we had a dependable fellow. He could look after the injuries almost as good as a professional. C. F. Hamilton Ham” Coach team, ’25. “Ham” came here with a reputation as a first-class coach and he lived up to his reputation. His season was very successful considering the hard-luck which followed the team. Injuries and in some cases grades kept the winning record down throughout the year. Eighty-one Eighty-two % FOOTBALL Two weeks before school began for the term of 1925-26, a group of boys met at the C. T. H. S. campus to talk over the coming football season and, also, to meet Mr. C. F. Hamilton, who was to pilot our football team through the coming season. The following Monday, after the first meeting, the squad again assembled at the high school. The first few days of practice were spent in limbering up by the use of calesthenics. The day after school began real work on the gi’idiron started. The squad was taught fundamentals and practised punting and passing the ball; the whole week was given over to these fundamentals. The next week the first plays were given and the first scrimmage was held. The prospects for a winning team were evident. On the twenty-sixth of September the team played their fii’st game. Captain Partlow was rather seriously injured in the Robinson game. In the game with Effingham we lost another good man for the remainder of the season as Kenneth Tracey received a broken leg. All throughout the season we met with hard luck but at any rate our team didn’t make a bad showing and the prospects for next year are exceedingly good. A much larger and more difficult schedule has been arranged for next year. FOOTBALL BANQUET On Tuesday night, Dec. 22, 1925, in the high school gym the annual banquet was given the Casey High School football warriors. The boy’s quartette, composed of Kermit Dehl, Rhyne Brewer, Homer Orrell, and Vaughn Arney and the high school orchestra. Supt. Walters, read a letter from Mr. Bayh, dii’ector of athletics in Terre Haute school who has officiated at a number of games during the season and who was to have been a guest at the banquet, expressing his regrets for being unable to attend the banquet and he praised the Casey team for always displaying clean playing and true spoidsmanship. Mr. Waltei’s, toastmaster, introduced the speakers, who were Raymond Partlow, Captain of 1925 team; Albei't Ewing, Captain-elect of next year’s team; Coach Hamilton and Prof. Stafford, director of Physical Education of the University of Illinois. George Huff, director of athletics of University of Illinois, who was to have been main speaker of the evening, and Mr. Stafford was asked by Mr. Huff to come for him. Mr. Staffoi’d has chai’ge of the connective work at the Univex’sity and he told of the surprisingly large per cent of physically unfit men who enter the university and of the task of trying to correct these defects. Mr. Staffoi’d is a forceful speaker and his talk was very much worth while. Coach Hamilton awarded letters to fourteen membei’s of the football squad, namely: Raymond Partlow, Rhondol McGinness, Chas. Myers, Px’eston Jenuine, Earl Hensick, Harold Beeson, Harry Beeson, Robert Elliot, Harold Nash, Chauncey Parker, Albert Ewing, Howard Ewing, Carr Kemper and Kenneth Tracey. After the awarding of letters Raymond Partlow I’epresenting the football team and Chas. Myei’s representing the basketball team presented Mi Hamilton—football coach, and Mr. Beck—basketball coach, each with a handsome leather bill fold.

Eighty-three Ethard Lee “Doc Senior. Team of ’24, ’25, ’26. “Doc” played the center position to a “T” and was always found fighting for the Purple and Gold. He has proven himself one of the best centers in the “Little” 16.” Earl Hensick “Henry Senior. Team, ’24, ’25, ’26. Many times has he made a score larger than his opponents. “Henry” had a wonderful eye for the basket and he used it. Reese Hilty “Cheece” •Junior. Team, ’24, ’25, ’26. “Cheece” was a back-guard that spoiled the hopes of many opponents who tried to slip behind him for a “peeper.” Howard Ewing “Tuffy” Senior. Team of ’24, ’25, ’26. “Tuffy” has proved to be a capable man in any position he played and he was always found to be an excellent cage tosser. Eighty-four Rhondal McGuinness “Guinea Senior.

Eighty-five James Teagardin “Teady” Junior. Team, ’25, ’26. “Leady” played his part at running-guard to perfection. Many things are expected from him next season. James Abraham “Jim Sophomore. Team, ’25, ’26. Although this was Jim’s first year on the varsity, he played his part like a veteran. Marion Lippencott “Lip” Sophomore. Team, ’25, ’26. “Lip” was a youngster and played forward. He is expected to “star” in his next two seasons. A. F. Beck “Beck” Coach. Team, ’24, 25, 26. “Beck” proved himself to be a coach capable of putting a team on the floor that was a winner. Eighty-six Va BASKETBALL Immediately after Thanksgiving Mr. Beck, the well known basketball mentor, took the boys in hand. Such a large number reported that the squad was immediately cut down to fifteen men. The remainder were coached by Mr. Hamilton. These boys later formed class teams and held a tournament of their own. But to return to the subject of varsity basketball— The first week was spent in goal shooting and fundamentals. Then the next week a few simple floor plays and more complicated work was given to the boys. The quintet first came out and defeated Greenup and showed signs of having a winning team. Then we put it over Martinsville, 40-17. However, the next game gave us our first defeat at Marshall. After the Marshall game we recovered from our slump and defeated Paris, Shelbyville, Westfield, Charleston, Martinsville, Robinson, Kansas, Paris, and Toledo—all by large scores. These games were all on our schedule. The Toledo game brought us up to the “Little 16” Tournament, which we thought we could win. In this tournament we defeated Paris, Robinson, and in the semi-final we were defeated by Hutsonville. This game seemed to throw our boys into a slump and we lost the next two games, Gertsmeyer, at Terre Haute, and Marshall again. Several teams that we had defeated had beaten Marshall during the year, but thev seemed to have us “hoodooed”. After this the team pulled itself together and defeated Charleston for the second time. Then on the next Friday and Saturday, Feb. 19-20, a great event took place in which Casey figured highly. This was the county tournament held at Martinsville. Casey came through with a third victory over Martinsville by a score of 43-16. The next day Casey defeated West Union by an overwhelming score. In the afternoon Marshall played Westfield and, unknown to us, just why, or how they did it, Marshall managed to win. This left us to play Marshall for the county championship. Of course we were going to win from Westfield but, when Marshall won. we let feelings go to the winds and defeated them by a score of 28-19. This brought the first trophy to Casey won by any varsity basketball team. If you remember an article in the “Broadcaster”, soon after the county tournament, said the next trophy would be won at the district tournament. No one knew that there was a prophet in our midst but there was. Our team drew a “bye” and were scheduled to play the winner of the Marshall-Martinsville game. Of course we wanted Marshall to win so we could again avenge ourselves, but Martinsville beat Marshall, so it was necessary to defeat Martinsville for the fourth time this season by a score of 31-12. Hutsonville had won their way to the semi-finals by a couple of easy games and this brought Casey and Hutsonville together. This was our chance to get revenge for the defeat at Marshall and we were “revenged” Eighty-seven by a score of 22-15. We found ourselves in the finals. Paris played Redman to see which of those teams was to meet us. Paris won and were to play us for the district championship. Having won three games from them earlier in the season, Casey romped home with the championship by a score of 28-7, also winning the right to go to the sectional held at Pana, March 12-13. In this game Casey displayed a rare brand of basketball. Many spectators and coaches praised our team for their neat, fast, short-passing. At Pana, Casey played Mansfield, a team that had a very fine record. We defeated them by a score of 24-15. In the semi-final game we were defeated by Nokomis. All through the sectional tournament our boys seemed to be in a slump. Only for a short time in the Mansfield game did Casey display their old-time form, when they scored eleven points in less than five minutes. A consolation game was played with Windsor for third place, and although it was a “comedy of errors” as far as scientific basketball is concerned, Casey won by an overwhelming score of 40-26. On our team we had a few stars. Hilty was picked as all-star guard at the “Little 16” tournament. At the district “Doc Lee”, the elongated center, was placed on the first team. At the sectional Lee and Hensick made the second all-sectional team. Thus ended one of the most strategic, successful, dazzling basketball seasons ever experienced by a Casey High School varsity.

These boys were the track team which represented Casey on the cinders for the year of 1925. They were out here practicing, working diligently to make the season a success. To get a line on the material which was to make the track team. Coach Beck and Mr. Walters arranged a track and field meet among the classes. The class of ’26 won this meet by an easy margin. Evening after evening after this meet any one visiting the vicinity of the park would hear the crack of the starter’s pistol and if any one came down to have a look at the proceedings, they would see a group of perhaps eight or ten boys strung out around the track running in an easy stride and seemingly having the endurance of a machine. These boys were the long distance men, the milers and the half-milers. At other places along the track you would, perhaps, see a group here and there digging holes in the ground and then placing their feet in these and at a given signal spring away as if shot out of a gun. These fellows were practicing starts. On looking around you would see a group here and there toiling patiently with their own special event. Perhaps you would see a group at the discus, another at the broad-jump but one thing was noticeable— everyone was working. As the season wore on the team had become pretty well perfected. We held a dual meet with Effingham. This we lost but we gave them all they wanted, the score being 66-53. This was the only dual meet held during the season. The next meet was the district meet held at Charleston. About twenty-five schools competed and in this meet Casey came in fifth place having six points. The last meet held was the County. Casey won this meet by a margin of six points. Foster, Casey’s star-man pulled down three first places. He was sent to the state meet and there he won three points. This ended the track season for the year of 1925: But before we bring this to a close we want to tell of an incident which slightly marred the season’s record (also Beck’s finger) as far as happiness is concerned. Mr. Beck, the coach, one evening was getting ready to start a race and twice the pistol had failed to fire, but, as the old saying is, the third time was the charm, this time Mr. Beck’s finger was in the way and a result, he sustained a very painful injury. This was the only injury of the year with the exception of Ethard Lee, who was spiked at the class meet, and was kept out of track the whole season by this injury. As we go to press the prospects for the track team for 1926, at the end of this season looks very fine. Of course, losing Foster took away several first places but as a whole the team should be a success. Around the new football field a cinder track is to be placed. The plans have already been made and drawn up. The cinders will have to be shipped in and as yet no work has begun on it. It is not probable that any meets can be held on it this year. The location is very good and a very good track should result. The interest in track in Casey has never been very high. But if we get a new track and hold a few meets the interest should be aroused and put track on the same basis as football and basketball. When the call comes for track many are expected to answer. Let’s go for a successful track season this year and also create interest in track in the future. Ninety I ■ Ninety-one Ninety-twc Ninety-three Ninety-four JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET. 1925 The annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held Wednesday evening, May 27, 1925, in the high school gymnasium which had been uniquely decorated for the occasion. Covers were laid for two hundred guests, including the Seniors, faculty board members and their wives and the Juniors. The main corridor of the building was fitted out with rugs, chairs, divans, floor lamps, tables and potted plants, as a cozy reception hall. Here an informal reception was held before the banquet. At 8 o’clock the grand march began, girls entering at the east door of the gym and boys and men at the west, to then march in and out among the tables and hunt their places, indicated by place cards tied to rainbow baskets at each plate. The scene which met the gaze of the guests was one of gay festivity as to ceiling decoration and woodsy collness as to walls. Mutli-colored balloons, several hundred in number, hung as pendants of various lengths from wires across the ceiling and suspended from the light globes. Miniature trees and branches formed a green lining of the sides and hid the bleachers. The scheme of decorations was carried out in the favors, squawker balloons for the men and balloons for the ladies. Candles of the color of balloons, decorated the tables, as did vases of roses which made the effect very charming. Miss Anderson’s cooking classes prepared and served the dinner having the following menu: Chicken salad, potato chips, stuffed tomatoes, bleeding hearts, rose radishes, hot rolls, jelly angel food cake, ice cream, strawberries, coffee and Jordan almonds. The waitresses, some of the underclassmen, further enchanced the color scheme by appearing in crepe dresses of varied hue. During the dinner music was rendered by the Lyn Sanders Illinoisans, of Charleston, an orchestra of six men, who kept the guests in a delighted and happy mood with their excellent, lively music.

'Ninety-seven THE MAY FETE, 1925 Friday afternoon, May 29, 1925, the townspeople of Casey assembled on the high school campus to witness the May Festival given by the girls physical education classes and directed by Miss Phylis Johnston. Lillian Brewer had been elected May queen by a popular vote of the student-body and Lena Ury, maid-of-honor. Many charming and picturesque dances were given, both group and individual. Those who performed the solo dances which represented the seasons of the year were: Thelma Sutherland, Helen Reeds, Helen Lee, Margaret Lucas and Esteline Roebuck. The crowning event of the evening was the May pole dance in which about twrenty girls took place. The spectators seemed to thoroughly enjoy the performance.

If you can master French and Greek and Latin, And not acquire as well a priggish mien; If you can feel the touch of silk and satin Without despising calico and jean; If you can ply a saw and use a hammer, Can do a man’s work when the need occurs, Can sing, when asked, without excuse or stammer, Can rise above unfriendly snubs and slurs. If you can make good bread as well as fudges, Can sew with skill, and have an eye for dust; If you can be a friend and hold no grudges, A girl whom all will love because they must. If sometime you should meet and love another And make a home with faith and peace enshrined, And you its soul, a loyal wife and mother, You’ll work out pretty nearly to my mind. The plan that’s been developed through the ages, And win the best that life can have in store, You’ll be, my girl, a model for the sages, A woman whom the world will bow before. One hundred nine DEB ATING CLUB The debating team this year consisted of Esther Sidwell, Frieda Daughettee, Hilda Dehl and Kermit Dehl. Their first experience was a non-decision debate with Marshall at Casey, February 16, and as the annual goes to the press they are planning to debate Martinsville in the near future. Esther Sidwell, Hilda Dehl, and Kermit Dehl comprised the team for the Marshall debate, while Frieda Daughettee will substitute Esther at Martinsville. The question used in these debates is, “Resolved, that the proposed child-labor amendment should be ratified by the several states,” of which Casey takes the affirmative. Debating will do as much, if not more, than any course in the curriculum to train young people to think quickly and logically. We are hoping that there will be an added interest taken in debating next year and that in 1927 will find Casey High School with a strong, lively, debating squad. THE EVERYDAY MANNERS CLASS The following is an outline of the work of the Freshman Girls’ Everyday Manners Class to be accomplished the last semester: How much do I cost—food, clothing, shelter, education. Mothers and daughters. Hobbies. Around the clock? What are you laughing at? The progress of women. What am I going to be? School friendships. When we go traveling. Girls of the w'orld. Sources of happiness. Making the best of things, OUR CREED To be unselfish and considerate of others but with spirit and ambition ; To be kind and helpful but resolved to make others do their part also; To speak correctly, to read, and to be studious yet not be a bookworm ; To be sincere, dependable, and alert, moreover proud and self respecting; To be pure in heart and mind, also not to judge others until sure; To be interested in worthwhile activities and friendly yet with an aversion for gossip. One hundred ten HONOR ROLL This is the first year in the history of Casey High School that letters have been awarded for attainments in scholarship.

For our club name we chose “Just-A-Mere Club” and our motto, “Mere Deeds.” Nina Kelly was elected president, Lena Heim, Vice-President; Rhoda Mills, Secretary and Treasurer, Mabel McCash, Program Chairman; Gladys Squires, Social Chairman; Dana Evans, Service Chairman, and Marion Johnson, Reporter. About forty girls became members. The club funds were used for the Mother-Daughter reception in February. This club was organized on the hope that it might serve as the nucleus of a Girl Reserve Club to be established later on. It has also been our purpose to promote friendship among the girls of the school, and to encourage higher ideals. On the whole, we feel that “Just-A-Mere Club” has been a success. One hundred eleven TO OUR JANITORS We, the graduation class of ’26, wish at this time to make known our appreciation to those who have so loyally and faithfully made our high school days comfortable. To you Mr. Hoyt, Mr. Davis and Mr. Watts, we give our thanks. You have made our four years in C. T. H. S. a bit more pleasant by your willingness to help us in any way possible and to cooperate with us at all times. One hundred twelve One hundred thirteen One hundred fourteen NAME Lena Heim .....

The first year we enrolled And thru the halls we grandly strolled. Some guilty senior to condemn. They said that in our prime, Ere the pruning-knife of time, Cut us down, Not a better class was known, And our brilliancy was shown In the town. The next year we came back, To gain what we did lack. And then some more. As Sophs we’ve ne’er been excelled And as trumps we were upheld, What a bore! In twenty-four we entered, Our minds entirely centered On education. As Juniors we were witty, Goodlooking, Oh, yes! Pretty Oh! Condescension. We know it is a sin For us to sit and grin At lower classmen; But when we think how we All Freshies use to be. It all comes back—what fun! But now we’re sad at heart, For soon we shall depart From this dear spot. We prize school days more highly As we start out most shyly In the world to cast our lot.
