SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September 1, 1927, marked an important date in the lives of a group of ambitious and intelligent Freshmen. 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
