Cllji' JFire of 1930 5TI;c Jsparli A tiny spark was found in C. T. H. S. in the fall of 1926. One hundred and twenty-six pupils were ready to test their skill at kindling the biggest and brightest fire ever built in the history of Casey High. We organized in October. President, Ga.rison Burr; vice-president, Audrey Carper; secretary-treasurer, Harlan Ffister; advisors, Miss Booker, Mr. Newlin. Having one of the largest classes, we naturally were the possessors of a great amount of pep. We were very busy watching and learning the procedures of our upperclassmen. We did our part towards taking charge of pep meetings, which was a great responsibility then. Our superiors gave us a reception of which so much cannot be said. We were proud of having a number of honor students to shine as some of the brightest in wisdom, if not in actions. fElic jFlamc In the year 1927, 109 organized pupils entered school, no longer as a spark, but as the hottest little flame that ever leaped over into the Sophomore Class. First, officers were chosen: president, Audrey Carper; vice-president, Marie Em-rich ; secretary-treasurer, Harlan Blister; advisors, Miss Jordan and Mr. Clark. We started our first flame by having charge of the Freshman initiation. The winning of the Stunt Show with our “Doll Dance” gave us more notoriety. We kept about the same number of honor students. But better than all these was the “Gypsy Party” given for the Seniors, as the small pox had prohibited the Freshman-Junior party the year before. This was in Dwight Miller’s woods and everyone came dressed as real gypsies. Helen Reeds presided as the queen and Miss Poage was the fortune teller. A week after school was out we all met in Chancler’s grove one evening for our last picnic as the Sophomore Class, Miss Jordan accompanying us. (Tit? 5®lazc A loud snapping and crackling is heard as the flame develops into a blaze. But we find it must have leaders: president. Garrison Burr, Verlin Orndorff; vice-president, Verlin Orndorff; secretary-treasurer, Robert Wright. With good cooperation the class goes through the year with Miss Johnston as the advisor. The Junior Class play was the first work, real work, of the year. It made us the money for the big event, the annual Junior-Senior banquet. The class rings were decided upon and purchased. Then, on the last day of school, the Freshmen took us to Paris for a picnic. 3firc Who would ever think that this roaring fire, four years ago, was only a tiny spark? But that is the purpose of the fire maker, to build a fire from a spark. Officers were chosen: president, Audrey Carper; vice-president, Marie Emrich; secretary-treasurer, Arnold Kiburz; advisors, Miss Wendt and Miss Johnston. We assumed the dignity and respect accorded Seniors. The underclassmen regard us with awe, and wonder when their time will come to be Seniors. We started the year off with a Stunt Show. Next, the Freshman initiation was held in the form of a kid party. The Annual caused lots of wrinkles and frowns on the faces of the Staff as they wondered where the next dollar would come from. The annual Junior-Senior banquet took place; this time we Seniors were entertained. The last great event was the Senior Class play. Invitations sent, June near, all denote graduation. With happiness and sorrow in our hearts we step forward to take our diplomas, symbols of the knowledge we have attained. But look! The fire is getting low! Shall we build it brighter? No. Then we will be satisfied to let it die out, very slowly. See—the flame falls lower and lower. Peace reigns over all. The night grows dark. Dimmer and dimmer becomes the light that once was a large fire. Ah! Again only a tiny spark is left —left for some one else to build up. And as we leave, we feel that all is well. Marie Emrich. f -29-
