Thy work of life has just begun. Mourn not the time when you must part For you must make in life a start. And how the plant of knowledge has grown From the tiny seeds that as Freshmen were sown. Friends are few and hard to get But a true schoolmate you’ll never forget. The thoughts of friends and the Senior Class From memory’s pictures shall never pass. And may the Seniors of ’31 Blaze their path across the sun, And mark a road so straight and true For future Seniors to follow through. And may the deeds that we have done Blaze a trail for those to come. William Bell.

After furnishing the usual amount of entertainment for the upperclassmen, we became real members of Casey High. As class officers, we chose: Kathryn Hoke, president; Wilson Hensiek, vice-president; Faith Finney, secretary-treasurer; advisors, Miss Booker and Mr. Newlin. We sponsored a bake sale to help pay expenses and had sufficient funds to entertain the Juniors at the “Rocks”. As Sophomores, l eing better acquainted with the surroundings and having lost all fear of our superiors, we accomplished greater things. The leaders during that year were: Wilson Hensiek. president; Maxine Reed, vice-president; Billy McGinness, secretary-treasurer. We had more privileges that year and took charge of pep meetings as well as the candy stand at the games. Our Junior year was one of hard work. As officers, we chose: Garrison Burr, president; Maxine Reed, vice-president; Claudine Laymon, secretary-treasurer. The first thing of importance was the selecting and purchasing of class rings. Next came the Junior Class play, “Billy”. On May 2, under the guidance of our advisors, Miss Armstrong and Miss Denise, we entertained the Seniors at a real Dutch banquet. At last came the year of years—we were Seniors and the cynosure for all eyes. The officers were: Margie Fancher, president; Billy McGinness, vice-president; Claudine Laymon, secretary-treasurer; advisors, Miss Wendt and Mr. Dickerson. First came the all-school party, at which time the Freshmen received the usual torture, on December 17. We sponsored a stunt show, receiving first prize for “The Wedding of the Painted Doll”. Perhaps the biggest problem was publishing The Flame, but after much work and scheming it went over. The Juniors entertained us at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. Last of all came the Senior Class play, and graduation. It is with a pang of sorrow that we leave, but since we have finished our tasks, we must make room for others. Our sincere hope is that they will be as successful as we have been, and that they will keep this, the best school in the land, at the very top. I 23 1 ? 6 s ui «i? | (fir ? a I C A t f I f tif i w 6 i t St 3? $ f SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior Class of Casey Township High School, being of sound mind and memory, and realizing that our career in Casey High is near an end. do hereby publish our last will and testament. To the Juniors, we leave the high and mighty title of “Seniors”. To the Sophomores, we give the privilege of cleaning out our lockers and keeping all remnants of pencils and notebooks which they might find lurking there. To the Freshmen, we leave our sympathy for losing the kind, obliging Seniors who so willingly escorted them to class on the first day of school. To Wanda Atkins, Faith Finney leaves her good standing with the fifth hour assembly teacher. To Olive Owens, Irene Mumford and Inez Howe leave their “experiences the night before”. To Gerald Todd and Clarence Sidwell, Kenneth Lamb, Howard Johnson, and Otis Lacey leave their reserved seat in Mr. Dickerson’s home room. To Marjorie Weaver, Norma Stratton leaves her unshorn locks.

To Vera Shelton and Irma Packer, Ruth Lee and Norma Neidigh leave their gift of gab. To those who do not enjoy standing while they ride, Foil Perisho, Bessie Hunsaker, Madge Huddleston, and Wendell Collins bequeath their seats on the school bus. To Mable Perkins, Mary Wetherholt and Herman Davis leave a portion of tbeir height. To Leona Lacy and Ruth Miller.

To Clay Roberts, Kenneth Hall wills his everlasting smile. To Oscar Shoemader, Billy McGinnis bequeaths his knowledge of solid geometry. To all future seamstresses, Doris Hosman and Pauline Fitzpatrick leave a large supply of perfectly good excuses to be used when the last bell insists upon ringing before they reach sewing class. To Zella Lowry, Evelyn Sharp leaves a package of her favorite chewing gum. To Brown Forrester, Ben Gossett, and Dale Whitney, Leslie Wright. Darrell Downey, and Max Brewer leave their combined knowledge gained as Seniors. Darrell Chapman leaves his ability to hurdle assembly seats to Dean Rogers.

By: Mildred Laymon. Witness: Ruby Sidweli.. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Dear Margie: I certainly have some great news for you. If you don’t get excitement and thrills from it, something is wrong. You probably think I am crazy, raving on like this, but when I tell you that it’s all about our graduating class, you’ll understand. Since you were president of the class during our Senior year, I have decided to tell you first. You see, it all happened like this. I recently met an old Indian guide while I was touring the mountains. Strange to say, this guide was a woman, who, though very old, could climb the mountains much more easily than I. She possessed the only magic mirror in the world, and people came from far and near to have her look into their futures. Well, my curiosity got the best of me, and one day, as we rested before finishing our climb, I asked her to reveal my future. She consented and asked if there was a particular question I would like to ask. It was indeed hard to choose one from the many that flashed through my mind. However, the atmosphere reminded me of spring and brought back memories of graduation time. I had an idea. “I would rather hear the future of the Class of ’31 than my own future,” I answered. “Oh! gladly will I tell you,” she quickly replied, “for it is indeed a class worthy of great praise.” I sat closer to her so that I would not miss a word, and she began: “I see Norma Reavers doubling for Janet Gaynor in the movies. Darrell Chapman operates a radio station in the back of his father’s drug store. “Fon Perisho and Ruby Sidweli, talented toe dancers, have gained world wide fame. William Bell, accompanied by his mechanic, Exil Bower, makes a trip to England every day in his airplane to take the king for a ride. “Howard Johnson, Kenneth Lamb, and Wilbour Cummins are new United States senators who are fighting for bigger and better speed laws. 125 1 6 57 ¥ ft f to § I c 6 � TT ! « f V tv -c ? V X 9 5f f % “After searching ten years in vain for a husband, Irene Mumford and Inez Howe committed suicide by eating one of their home cooked meals. “Troit Kelly is giving elocution lessons. George Lippincott prepared to teach mathematics but later decided be would rather collect garbage. Leon Postlewait has just revised Webster’s Dictionary. The other one failed to contain many of the words which Leon found in his vocabulary. “Opal Rhoads is serving a five year sentence in jail for kidnaping little boys. Norma Stratton turned her over to Chief of Police Darrell Downey. “Juanita Foster is supervisor of the State Home Economics Department of Illinois. Nora Louise Emrich recently won a beauty contest. She is now posing for magazine covers. “Beulah Queen is queen of the typewriter in a Chicago business office. Wilson Hensiek. still a football magnate, is coaching at Notre Dame. Wilbur Gilbert, unable to hold a position because he continually argues with his boss, became a hermit and he now talks to himself and argues with his echo. “Charles Goben has taken over his father’s filling station. Allen Orndorff and Max Brewer are doing well on a peanut farm. “The largest cracker-jack factory in the world is operated by Billy McGinness and Theron Roberts. They place a peewee Austin in each box as a prize. “Edna Brothers, broken-hearted over her defeat for mayor of New York by Rosamond Shimel, has joined the Salvation Army. Madge Huddleston’s first book entitled ‘Nowhere and Back’, has just been published. “Margie Fancher, recently voted the most popular actress in Hollywood, owns a new-fangled Chevrolet with fenders that will neither dent nor scar. “Geraldine Henderson just knocked out Burl Dill for the world’s heavyweight boxing championship. “Doris Hosman has returned to her position at the Main Street Pharmacy after recovering from injuries. A light post got in front of her car. “The well known musician and composer, Wendell Collins, has recently written a selection entitled ‘The Blueberry Pie Waltz’. His wife, Bessie Hun-saker, is his inspiration. Otis Lacey, the scientist, has just solved the question ‘How high is up?’, but refuses as yet to give any information to the public. “Dick Gard is at present giving dancing lessons. He is busily engaged in preparing the Brandenburg sisters for a stage career. “At this very minute, Forrest Claypool and Leslie Wright are racing across the Sahara desert on police dogs. The winner will receive a fried chicken dinner at the expense of Frank Hudson, who owns a poultry farm. “Mary Wetherholt and Faith Finney operate a hat shop on Tenth Avenue in New York. Christine Diltz is their model. “Jane Brunker and Esther Logue have llown their airplane to South America to explore the jungles. They are searching for material for their new volume of bed-time stories called ‘Jungle Trails’, written for the little kiddies. “Ruth Lee is scheduled to ride an elephant from California to New York. Miss Lee hopes to be the first to accomplish such a feat. Claudine Laymon will ride along in a coaster wagon to make sure that Ruth doesn’t get off and walk. “Chlorine Bell, Norma Neidigh. Evelyn Sharp, Pauline Fitzpatrick, and Mildred Laymon, the first women members of the Westfield police force, recently captured two bank robbers, Kenneth Hall and Herman Davis, taking candy away from a group of small boys.” Success for everyone—isn’t it wonderful? Perhaps the spirit of Casey High which we shall always carry with us is responsible for it all. Mildred Laymon.

Class History In the year of 1928, 108 Freshmen enrolled to cross four years of their life in the seaworthy ship C. T. H. S. Leah Deverick was the captain of the Freshman Deck. Donald Lippincott was first mate, and Robert Davis was secretary and treasurer. When we came hack from the summer furlough, we found several of our comrades missing. We embarked on the second year of our cruise. Lois Chrysler was elected captain of the Sophomore deck, for we had been promoted. Evelvn Brookhart was first mate and Lucille Moran was secretary and treasurer. Now the third vear of our cruise is almost over and as we look back over the accomplishments of the Junior Class we think of the Junior Class play, ' The 128 1 JUNIOR BOYS Ted Grover, Leo Rtiley, Glen Funk, Ben Gossett, Donald Lippiucott, Hershel Gardner, Gerald McElfrcsh, Dean Trout, Elwood Davis, Franklin Townsend — Medford Stewart, Harold List, John Hires, Browne Forrester, Wayne Matheny, Paul Delp, Clarence Sidwell, Dale Whitney, Lester Alier, Carl Littlejohn — Caryll Applegate, Arthur Miller, Loren Gardner, Dean Rogers, Harold Shawver, Cyril Emrich, Robert Davis — Darrell Etnire, Darrell Smith, Ralph Walters, Clay Roberts, Gerald Todd. Whole Town’s Talking”. The success of this play is clue to Miss Ennis, who was the director, and the hard work of the cast. The Junior Class is also known for its scholarship. Forty per cent of the straight A honor roll was Juniors. We have entered into athletics whole-heartedly. The boys have represented us well in both basketball and football. The girls won the interclass volleyball tournament. Both the singles and doubles of tennis that represented C. T. H. S. were Juniors. We participated in the Senior Stunt Show. We sold candy on the main deck at noon to make money, besides selling at basketball and football games. The officers this year are Evelyn Brookhart, captain; Clarence Sidwell, first mate, and Geneva Funk, secretary and treasurer. f [29] SOPHOMORE GIRLS Dessa Updegraff, Mae Orand, Margaret McDaniels, Rosalyn Delp, Celia Morrison, Doris Sncarly, Ruby Clark, Eleanor Bline, Ruth Brookhart, Clorean Brandenburg, Maurine Stewart, Margaret Hosman, Doris Lamb, Rosemary Huey, Helen Lacey, Alice right, Esther Edwards, Ethel Francis — Irene Mathis, Lois Rude, Helen Letner, Evelyn Walters, Alma Minnis, Kathryn Werts, Mabel Yright, Tollis Snyder, Wanda Atkins, Mildred Groves, Helen Meeker, Christina Davis, Miss Maggee, Lottie Neidigh, Maxine Neeley, Marcial Detro, Helen Floyd, Leona Hensick. Class History Early in September, in the year of 1929, we, a group of green Freshies, began our high school career. With our leader, Floyd Collins, and Eleanor Logue assisting, also Verne Emerich as secretary and treasurer, we spent a year of hard work, seeking for knowledge (as quoted hy the Freshmen). Both years with the help of our faithful advisors, Mr. Gorden and Miss Maggee, we took [30] SOPHOMORE BOYS Lee McDaniels, Owen Alicr, Audra Repp, Ona Cummins, Floyd Collins — Vincent Davis, Durward Whitton, Vern Emrich, Leroy Carroll, Kov Orndorff, Paul Roberts, John Brooks, Howard Brooke — Eugene Smith, Lee Ulrey, Elmer Smith, Evertt Collins, Harlie Biggs, Mark Simpson, Nolan Wright.

Our classmen found memberships in the orchestra, band, glee club, and pepper box. Last but not least, we were very proud of the number of Sophomores who went out for football and basketball. The officers who led us through our Sophomore year were as follows: Floyd Collins, president; Nolan Wright, vice-president; Leona Hensiek, secretary and treasurer. [31 1 w 11 S • .

Freshman Class History In the fall of 1930 a large group of boys and girls entered Casey Township High School as Freshmen. We elected Ronald Jones as president; Gehl Garrett, vice-president; Arthur Sidwell, secretary; and Howard Clem, treasurer. Mr. Daugherty and Miss Armstrong were chosen to act as our class advisors. To start the new year off right, we entered in the parade before the Newman football game and won the first prize. The members of our class attended a “get acquainted” party which was held at the Boy Scout cabin during the early part of the year.

Everyone enjoyed the “all school party” given for the Freshmen. With the help of Miss Armstrong, the Freshmen gave “The Large Family” in the Senior Stunt Show. The Freshman girls played in the-volleyball tournament, but they were not victorious. Several of the Freshman boys went out for football, and although none of these boys made the first team, they remained out the entire season. A number of Freshman boys went out for basketball. A large percentage of the second team was made up of Freshmen. Several Freshmen were in the band and glee club. Roy English, a Freshman, was the drum major. s 9 [33 1 n I 9 3 I $ f £ f 6 V i! f % § f Ur t v( w HONOR ROLL FIRST SIX WEEKS: HIGH HONORS Wilson Hensiek. Xorma Beavers, Clarence Sidwell.

Every Tuesday has been given over to writing news copy for the paper. As we did last year, a page of high school news has been published weekly in the Casey Banner Times. The special Christmas edition was a real credit to the journalism class. Perhaps “stunts” are not in direct keeping with newspaper writing, but, nevertheless, we entered the Senior Stunt Show and won second prize with our stunt entitled “Movie Take Offs”. We take this time to thank those undergraduates who assisted us in making it a success. Eleven members of the class were elected to “Quill and Scroll”, an honorary society for high school journalists. The initiation service was held in the assembly as one of the weekly assembly programs.

Mr. Newlin St 3f Our club, Future Farmers of America, is a member of a state organization and also a national organization. Out of the 220 high schools in this state, only 180 have nationally organized agricultural clubs. Our club sponsored an agricultural evening school for the farmers of the community. This school had a meeting once each week during the months of January, February and March. Such subjects as crop rotation and farm planning, determining the importance of wheat and red clover for this community, and the feeding of different classes of livestock, were discussed at these meetings. Twelve boys of our club attended the National Daily Show in St. Louis. The boys spent two and one half days at the dairy show and during this time they were guests of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. While they were there they saw some of the best dairy cattle in the U. S. In the spring some of our boys will take part in the judging contests. Twenty-six boys will judge at a sectional contest in May at Neoga. Twenty schools compete in the judging of dairy, poultry, fat stock, and grain. Thirteen boys from each school, the high individuals in the sectional contest, may attend the state contest at Urbana. Here they compete with 180 schools. Last fall the members of our club enjoyed a picnic at the Scout cabin and we are planning another for this spring.

The purpose of our club is to create an interest in science and to give students an opportunity to feel that they are taking up that subject that is really being used in life. The programs of our club meetings were placed in the hands of committees of students who arranged each program and then consulted one of our Faculty advisors for his or her approval. For special programs we sometimes had movies on subjects pertaining to science or lectures by noted scientists. At one of our meetings Mr. Taber, a scientist living in Kansas, Illinois, gave us a very interesting talk on the subject of bird-banding and the great force of migration. § e $ !

A half Play Day was held here, for which several of the neighboring schools were represented. Our representatives in the county tennis tournament: singles, Mary Alice Polfinbarger; doubles, Lillian Squires and Ruth Miller, won first place. The G. A. A. received third place in the Senior Stunt Show. We held our annual Christmas party, to which we also invited the Freshmen and the ladies of the Faculty. A volleyball tournament was held between the different classes. We gave a May fete last spring and we are planning for one this spring. £ $ sa [45] 'Q- « x.'i% «e % £1® DEBATE SQUAD The state debate question for ’30 and ’31 was: Resolved, that the chain store is a detriment to public welfare.

Our negative team is Wilson Hensiek, first speaker; Esther Logue, second speaker, and Beulah Queen, third speaker; Billy McGinness, alternate. Our debate squad did quite well this year. The affirmative team won two debates and lost two. The negative team won three debates and lost one. Casey’s squad tied for third place with Robinson to go to Charleston to the district meet. [46] o MUSIC ADMINISTRATION J. O. Hawkins What would our school be without music? How would we get along at the football games without our band? How could the May fete, the class plays and banquets possibly be a complete success without our orchestra ? All of these organizations are strictly necessary in order to compete with other schools, and to keep our school going at its best. At the head of the musical department for the last two years is Mr. J. O. Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins deserves much credit for the swift progress in which the musical organizations have worked and improved. Outside of the members in the band, Mr. Hawkins has been instructing members of the grade school band, and he instructed the drum corps and the summer band during the summer, preparing them for the future high school band. In the music department of our high school are many different organizations, the Band, Orchestra, Boys’ Glee Club. Girls’ Glee Club and the Drum Corps, all of which are very active the year through.

The Casey Township High School Band is one of the school’s greatest assets. The band is progressing very rapidly under the leadership and direction of Mr. Hawkins, who has been at the head of the musical department for the last two years. The band is one of the most active organizations in the school. At all the football games, pep meetings and tournaments, the band has helped to carry them on to success. There are thirty-six members in the band this year. Our band should be still better next year because there are only three members that are Seniors this year, and there are more new members coming into the school next year. Besides the music that is played by our band, it has a very snappy appearance, each member being dressed in a new purple and gold uniform in which the band made its first public appearance at the concert given in the gymnasium December 2, 1930. |50] QMCHESTKA Next to the band ranks our orchestra. The orchestra doesn’t have a chance to show itself like the band but it certainly helps to make the banquets, stunt shows, class plays and May fetes a success. Our band meets twice every day of the week, while our orchestra meets only once each week, and that happens to be Friday the eighth period.

The organization is composed of some fifty girls. In this club there is singing in solos, duets, trios, and unison. This group of girls is divided into three sections, one section singing first soprano, another, second soprano, and the third, alto. Last year our Glee Club won first in the county and second in the Eastern Illinois League. The numbers used were “Won’t You Set Us Free”, taken from the Largo of the symphony, “From the New World”. For our second number we sang “Night Breezes”.

This was shown by the team’s average. Casey won five games, tied one, and lost three games. This is the best record for a Casey team since Casey w-on the Wabash Valley title.

CASEY, 0; MARTINSVILLE, 13 On a very bad day Casey journeyed to Martinsville to be turned back on the little end of the score. Martinsville had one of the best teams in this section, and although the Casey boys fought hard they were unable to defeat them. CASEY, 6; CHARLESTON, 0 In the last home game of the season, Casey sent Charleston back on the little end of the score. CASEY, 7; MARSHALL, 25 Casey met Marshall on the coldest day they have ever played football. The snow was raked away and the ten yard lines were dug into the field. Both teams played hard football. In the first half the score was a close one and at one time Casey lacked one foot to go to tie the score. It was a game that kept the crowd on their feet and was fast football.

Second row—Nolan Wirght, Billy McGinnis, Forest Mills, Burl Dill, Cyril Emrick, Medford Steward, Paul Roberts. Third row—Arthur Myers, Carl Bergeson, Arthur Bergstrom. When the basketball season opened, forty boys reported for practice. The squad was divided into two groups. The Freshmen and Sophomores made up one group, while the Juniors and Seniors made up the other. The Seniors and Juniors played the first team games, while the Sophomores and Freshmen played the second team games. Casey did not seem to be able to get off on the right foot. Their bright spot was the county tournament. They were defeated by Westfield in the finals, but it was a hard fought game.

They have swept up our paper wads, notes and mud. They have cleaned up the gym after our tournaments and been a first class information bureau on top of all that. Our four janitors are: Mr. Watts, Mr. Davis, Mr. Hoyt and Mr. Brandenburg, and we shall always associate them with our many high school memories. [70] M COMMERCIAL COLORS!

Other characters were Bernice Bell, wife of Dean and mother of Margaret Fox; Lois Chrysler as the movie star, with Cyril Emerich as her jealous lover; Donald Lippincott as an affected Englishman; I Sc Evelyn Brookhart as the secret sweetheart of Dean, of whom his wife was to know nothing. Lillian Squires and Hazel Shrider played the parts of Margaret’s 6 tv u •XT girl friends. Mary Alice Poffinbarger was the maid. The play was a big success and proved that there were really some good actresses and actors in the Junior Class. A V § PEPPERETTES i i $ r The “Pepperettes” were not as active an organization this year as they have been in years past, but quite a number of the members were seen at both basketball and football games wearing their purple and gold outfits and yelling for Casey High. Lois Chrysler. Charles Campbell and Donald Lippincott led our yells this year. 9 r A pep squad is a great asset to a school and is a big help to a team, and we hope that next year every pupil in school will resolve to join this association and be a faithful member. $ � ? CONTEST WORK r t! f V Casey was very well represented in the contest field this year. Our contestants in the literary field were Juanita Foster, Margie Fancher, Herman Davis, Pauline Fitzpatrick, Wilson Hensiek, and Algene Foster. Miss Ennis coached our literary people. People who represented us in music were Herman Davis, Lois Chrysler, Norma Neidigh, Mack Rhoades, Durward Whitton. and Dale Whitney. We f also entered a girls’ chorus and a mixed chorus in the contests. Mr. Hawkins instructed the music contestants. i Mr § 1 1 72 1 H w • •w; V 6 rj 1 f 6 ! « STUNT SHOW The Seniors sponsored a Stunt Show on December 10. All of the classes and many other organizations from the school gave a stunt. The judges decided that the Senior stunt, “The Wedding of the Painted Doll”, ranked first in entertainment, with the “Movie Take Off” by the journalism class, and G. A. A. with a “Resume of C. T. H. S.”, receiving second and third prizes respectively. The entire school showed a real interest in the Stunt Show and we hope they all enjoyed it as much as we. Why not make the Stunt Show an annual event? It may be improved each year and come to be a traditional event of Casey High. We believe future Senior classes would benefit by them as much as we. For the Stunt Show was another means whereby the 1931 Flame was made possible’.
