THE FACULTY Upon entering the Casey Township High School oil drilling company, we find that order and courtesy prevail. We later become intimately acquainted with the Superintendent, District Foreman, Field Boss, and numerous other officials who by their firm guidance have kept C. T. H. S. up to a high standard. During our four years association with these officials we have come to appreciate their true worth and to respect their efforts to make Casey High School a better school. By their kindly interest and sincere helpful advice they have won our admiration and respect. We are glad we have been able to affiliate ourselves so closely with them and we feel that we have benefited by this contact. Page twenty
