Bruce Buckler Superintendent University of Illinois, A.B.; M.A. 19 3 5 Page 10 - THE flame: = CASEY HIGH SCHOOL TODAY The philosophy guiding those who administer our modern secondary schools must provide for an adjustment of education to a changing civilization. Education in the past has been primarily concerned with making people literate. Book learning that develops abilities to memorize, to read, to comprehend and to recite has been of fundamental importance. However, education today must be recognized as a continuous process from birth to death and not something that goes on for a few hours a day within four walls of a school. Education arises from, exists in, and will continue to flourish as a part of its surrounding social culture. It cannot be completely isolated from life outside of the school. We find our local high school attempting to adjust itself as the years go by to the changing social culture as well as assisting in the molding process of those who compose this social culture. Casey Township High School is not the same school which it replaced in 1915, nor will it be the same a decade hence as it is today. Changes are constantly taking place in all phases of its existence. From the older city unit it expanded into the large township unit for taxation and attendance purposes. From the smaller buildings accommodating less than one hundred high school students, it grew into the present plant capable of accommodating over four hundred. From the one building designed to care for academic subjects largely, it has expanded into two major buildings and two minor buildings. From little playground equipment it now comprises over twenty acres accommodating all the major outdoor sports, as well as a large and a small gymnasium to accommodate indoor games and physical education activities. The beauty of the grounds has been increased by carefully planned landscaping and ample shrubbery. The school plant is an object of beauty and worthy of display both inside and out. From a plant serving a few local children only, it now extends its services to both young and old as a school and as a community gathering place. It reaches out in its influence to attract students from many miles distant as well as to attract events and meetings of great importance to a large section of the state. Page 11 19 3 5 ■ THE FLAME With the increase in agricultural and industrial interest, the constant shifting of our population, and the recognition of specific training, the demands made upon the high school program are much greater than those older academic and literary demands. From merely sufficient offerings to enable a student to enter college, the program has more than doubled the number of courses offered. The additional courses have been made largely as introductory to the basic vocations of the economic world. Youth must be trained to better find its place in the work of the world. With 50 to 60 per cent of the graduates never having the opportunity for further training, the secondary school must become more and more the apprentice school for the occupations of later life. At the present, the requirements for graduation are either college entrance, or non-college entrance; the difference being in the matter of mathematics not required for the latter and greater opportunities in the vocational subjects. The departments now being offered include (1) Natural Science—General Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics; (2) Language—English, Latin and French; (3) Mathematics—Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry; (4) Social Sciences—Ancient History, Modern History, Commercial Geography, Economics, Civics, U. S. History; (5) Vocations—Manual Arts, Agriculture, Commercial, Home Economics and Music; and (6) Physical Education. In preparation for the wider cultural demands of society to the regular curricular work of the school has been added the extra-curricular activities program. These activities provide that social training that is necessaiy for the youth to possess to be able to take his proper place in society and as a citizen. They take the form of club work, class organizations, team work, demonstrations in programs, development and display of special talent, athletic exhibitions, etc. Although most of this program is from within the school itself, there is interspersed considerable from outside talent that is both entertaining and instructive in the nature of Lyceum Bureau programs, special lectures, etc. The proper conduct of a changing program has necessitated changes in the personnel of the staff. Requirements placed upon faculty members and administrative officers have advanced far beyond those of the earlier years. The Bachelor’s Degree is a requirement for practically all departments with the Master’s Degree representing five years of college training being increasingly approved. The Master’s Degree is now required of the principal. These higher requirements are bringing to the student men and women who are better able to present their subject and who can better lead the mind of youth into future paths of learning. With increasing standards being met in material equipment and in personnel of the staff, our secondary schools are now given the highest rating offered by governing bodies. The State Department of Public Instruction, the State University of Illinois and the North Central Association of High Schools and Colleges have placed their approval upon Casey Township High School as a properl)' regulated and equipped school for many years past. 19 3 5 Page 12 THE FLAME The doors of knowledge are open to all” 19 3 5 Page 1J THE FLAME FACULTY Row 1 Lula Mae Johnston, French and English MacMurry College, A.B.; McGill University; University of Wisconsin.

The ninety-three members of the good ship “Class of ’35” started a voyage grim and daring in September, 1931. We were on our way over the sea of C. T. H. S. In this sea we found many difficulties which we were forced to weather. Our ship was shaken and we were endangered by the reef of failure many times. Our good captain, Wayne Foster, left us floundering on the furious waves when he moved to Indiana. We were then saddened greatly. But as we were on the verge of failure, our faithful first mate, Edna Mills, came forward to take our lost captain’s place. She guided our ship into a clear course and held it steady. Under her supervision we selected Darrell Carper as second mate and Jane Alkire, steward. Many of our good friends were lost in some of the terrible storms on Neptune’s face. We regretted to see these poor ones lose their balance and topple overboard. Our good advisors were Miss Jeffrey and Mr. Daugherty, who helped us wind our way around the treacherous spots. Our ship, containing the cargo of green freshmen, was brought into a small harbor at the end of September for a celebration. We were to be the guests of the two upper classes, juniors and seniors. We were well entertained with games and refreshments, and we furnished all forms of amusements for the upper classes. As a whole we can say we enjoyed ourselves as much as did the rest of our good companions. Many of our pleasure-seeking members developed a musical spirit. Some entered the band and some, the orchestra. Our musical ability, as a whole, was well represented. In the “Bell of Bagdad” our vocal prodigies made their first public appearance. In our glee club some of our outstanding shipmates took an active part, some in solo and others in chorus work. We also participated in the contests that were held in Marshall and Charleston and were fortunate in having many successful entries. During the nine months’ voyage we were entertained by a lyceum course. The most outstanding feature of this course was Mr. Marcola, a member of Byrd’s expedition to Little America, who entertained us with a glowing account of his adventures. Eleven of our gallant number got a hearty workout in football. They aided the other huskies of the team to carry on to victory and were partly responsible for Casey’s bringing the Wabash Valley Championship to our school. Wayne Ault was the outstanding member of our crew who was on the team, as he was the only freshman to receive a letter. Our ship having taken a safe course through the nine months of learning, now landed on the Island of Vacation. Here we spent a brief three months’ rest and enjoyment. At the end of this time we were again assembled to retake our course across the open sea. With a new captain, Chester Garrett, we started on another nine months’ voyage. We chose as his helpers Harlan Snodgrass, first mate, and Rodney Greevcr, second mate. The crew advisors were Miss Bane and Mr. Bergstrom. We entered whole-heartedly into the spirit again. Our band won a contest in Newton for presenting the best appearance. Our outstanding soloists of the year were Margaret Brewer and Darrell Carper. They both were entitled to go to the state contest held in connection with the band contest, Margaret entering the piano contest and Darrell, the cornet contest. On the honor roll Dorothy Bell, Edna Mills, Coral Orndoff, and Chester Garrett found their names appearing regularly. Several others made the honor roll for six weeks' periods. Again we sighted the Isle of Vacation, but this time we met grief and sorrow there in the death of William Brandenburg, a good and faithful member of our crew. However, we must continue our course as before, so on the 28th of August we again resumed our voyage. Page 19 19 3 5 THE FLAME We were elated to think that this year the great responsibility of carrying on the Junior Class was placed upon our shoulders. We felt that we must have enthusiastic leaders in order to do our work well, so we chose Harlan Snodgrass as captain, Darrell Carper, first mate, and Lenorc Mays, second mate. The big question that confronted us was “How will we ever raise enough money to entertain the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet?” Everyone, however, was interested and eager to do his part so we were not at all disheartened by our task. At once we began selling candy at the regular noon hour session and at football games. As basketball season came on, we sold refreshments at the games and tournaments. So amid storms on the chartered course, we bravely steered onward. During the Thanksgiving vacation period we presented our first class play, “Green Stockings,” in which Dorothy Bell played the leading role. Dramatically the play was a success, but, financially, it would hardly be called so. As winter came on, our good ship, Class of '35, ran into a series of storms that called every member of the crew into activity. Various members of our crew worked bravely on the athletic teams to withstand the opposing storm clouds that loomed before us in the shape of other E. I. League contestants. Ross Funk, George Grant, Derwood Kuhn, Philip Emrich, Lavcrl Miller, Boyd Davis, and Chester Garrett courageously fought against the enemy during the football season. When basketball season loomed ahead, George Grant, Ross Funk, Carl McCand-lish, and Boyd Davis tried to do their part in upholding the honor of the Class of ’35. To further swell our treasure chest, our captain arranged to hold a benefit motion picture show at the Lyric theatre. This picture, “Wild Boys of the Road,” brought good results, both entertainingly and financially. For some untold reason, it seemed that a large per cent of our crew was very musically inclined. Several of them participated actively in the band, choruses, and the contests that were held in the spring. Darrell Carper, Margaret Brewer, and Ferrell Abraham represented our class, bringing to it much honor and praise. Suddenly we realized that we had passed through the stormy seas and were entering the calmer seas of pleasure and entertainment. Our principal social event of the voyage was the long-awaited Junior and Senior Banquet that was held on the deck of our beautifully decorated ship on the night of May fourteenth. In an atmosphere of “life-on-board-ship,” we entertained our guests at a royal feast and at an amusing program. Our rest on the Isle of Vacation was a welcome one this year for we needed to gather all the strength possible for the final lap of our long four years’ journey. After recuperation of physical and mental strength, we resumed our course in the fall of 1934 as full-fledged seniors with Darrell Carper, captain; Ferrell Abraham, first mate, and Philip Emrich, second mate. Miss Nelson and Mr. Gordon, our faithful advisors, piloted us through a year of many joys and practically no sorrows. We began our activities by winning the first prize of six dollars for having the best floats in the all-school parade held in September. The next important event was the senior class play. “The Nut Farm,” in which our cat a n. Darrell Carper, played the leading role as the irresponsible young brother, Willie. This year’s play was a huge success in every respect. It was exceedingly entertaining, and a profit of sixty-five dollars was realized. Several of the crew began work on the Flame and the Broadcaster and were well occupied with their duties throughout the entire trip. Others of our crew participated actively in the various clubs and their special functions. As the season progressed our boys entered wholeheartedly into sports with practically the same ones on the squads this year as were on last year, with one welcome addition being Richard Ewing who played on both the football and basketball squads. Again our crew resumed its work in the music departments with several entries being made in the band, choruses, and contests. In January the ship “Class of ’35” sponsored the operetta, “And It Rained.” Several of the leading parts were played by members of our crew: Ferrell Abraham, June Conel, Dorothy Bell, and Robert Fuson. Others were in the dances and choruses. The spring of the year found us sailing joyfully, but still a bit reluctantly, towards the end of our voyage on the “Sea of C. T. H.S.” However, we were so busy that we had little time to consider our feelings. Our time was spent in preparing for class day, baccalaureate and commencement, and then suddenly came the cry, “Land in sight!” and we knew that our happy four years’ cruise had come to an end. 19 3 5 Page 20 THE FLAME SENIORS First row: Darrell Carper “A golden character his entire fortune Ferrell Abraham “Success should crown his ambitions and talents ' Phillip Emrich “He could always keep the girls guessing.

Page 25 THE FLAME JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ............................... Jake Walters Vice-President ............................. Carl Stull Secretary ............................. Lorcan Frances In 1932, one hundred and fifteen students registered at Casey Township High School as freshmen. The following weeks were ones of worry and grief, but “all’s well that ends well,” and so all that unpleasantness was soon forgotten. The year progressed rapidly, with the freshman initiation making everyone feel perfectly at home at Casey High. During this first year at high school, the class of ’36 elected the following class officers: Scott Brooke, president; Mavme h'nire, vice-president; Winifred Foster, treasurer, and Oran Boyd, secretary. Under their leadership, various members of the class at once began to participate in school activities. Many of the boys went out for football and basketball; the girls began to earn points for G. A. A.; both boys and girls joined the band and chorus. In every field of activity the freshmen made an effort to show their talents. The sophomore year in 1933 was a fine continuation of the spirit and enthusiasm that began in 1932. This year the officers were: Jake Walters, president; Delmar F.tnire, vice-president; and riarrv C'em, secretary and treasurer. An added feature to the class’s activities during 1933 was their participation in the all-school minstrel. To many of the boys and girls this was their first public appearance and it meant much to them in the way of dramatics, music, and fun. Of the hundred and fifteen students who entered Casey Township High School in the fall of 1932 as freshmen, eighty-eight registered in the fall of 1934 as juniors. This was a fine class of wide-awake boys and girls, who, with Jake Walters as their class president, were eager to take their places among the leaders of the school. The first important showing of their pep and loyalty was exhibited in the allschool parade that inaugurated the football season on September 29th. Nearly every member of the class participated in the making of floats, decorating of cars and in entering the actual parade itself. Eleven novel entries were credited to the juniors, a fact that earned for them the honor of winning second place and three dollars in prize money. First Row: Harry Clem. Delmar Etnire.

Page 26 THE FLAME One of the most enjoyable features of the year’s work was the production of the play, “Second Childhood,” which was given by the juniors on December 13th. The entire show was one laugh after another, and the entire cast acted their parts in an admirable manner. Joe Buckler, Carl Stull, Mayme Etnirc, Winifred Foster, and Jake Walters played the leading parts. Minor parts were acted equally well by Ruby Bertram, Lucille Lee, Lorean Francis, Loretta Johnson, Lovell Pulliam, and Rex Davis. The operetta, which was sponsored by the seniors, on January 24th and 25th, also found several juniors taking an active part in the cast of characters as well as in the dances and chorus. Lucille Lee played one of the leading roles as a mischievous little sister; Jake Walters was the wealthy, dignified city man; Winfred Stewart was a carefree, handsome boy; Mayme Etnire and Ruby Bertram were especially attractive tango dancers, and several other juniors added their talents to the choruses. Not only in dramatics, however, did the juniors cxcell during the school year, but also in athletics did they take a prominent part. Sixteen members on the football squad were juniors. These included: Scott Brooke, Clarence Townsend, Eugene Stiff, Frederick Bliss, Harry Clem, Clayton Smith, Russell Loguc, Lcland Mullens, Laverl Miller, Cleo Duckworth, Rex Davis, Joe Buckler, Don Hires, Vcrlin Hartman, and Albert Stallings. Eight members of the basketball squad were juniors. They were: Clarence Townsend, Harry Clem, Eugene Stiff, Russell Logue, William Burnett, Crawford Foraker, Delmar Etnire, and Winfred Stewart. In all other school activities, especially in the band and choruses, many juniors have taken an active part. Debate, contest work, G. A. A. and various clubs have found these boys and girls valuable members, for in many ways they have been leaders. The climax of the year’s activities and the event toward which the juniors had looked forward since they were freshmen was the Junior-Senior Banquet, held on Friday night, April 19. The setting was a lovely one with everyone all dressed up in his best “bib and tucker,” all a fitting scene for the splendid entertainment given by the Edward Clark Concert Company. These players had recently returned from Spain and in their program they gave some impressions of that country. Only one year of high school remains and that the juniors now look forward to with keen anticipation. They sincerely hope that they will have as fine a year as seniors as they have had as juniors. Much of the credit for this successful year as juniors the class is proud to credit to the capable help of their advisors, Miss Johnston and Mr. Daugherty. First Row: Mary Liffick, Edna Lawson.

After some difficulties in finding our respective classes, and some good-natured “razzing from upper classmen, we finally settled down to regular school routine, determined to make a place for ourselves among the student body. Our first official act as a body was the election of class officers to guide our course throughout the school year. The results of the election were as follows: William Walling, president; William Staley, vice-president; Clifford Lamb, secretary and treasurer; and Charles Umbarger, yell leader. Our sponsors for the year were Mr. Johnson and Miss Cochonour. Late in September we were the honored guests at a kid party given by the upper classmen with the purpose of making us officially members of the student body. We were rightfully proud of the manly fashion in which we as a class performed the ignominious services required of us. A short time afterwards the moon revealed us hunting for hidden treasure in Fairview Park. Throughout the year we were well represented in all student activities. Four of our boys went out for basketball and eight for football. Ten members represented us in the band, and from six to ten names were consistently on the honor roll. There were two big freshman parties during the year, the first of which was a wiener roast held at Fairview Park. After a series of party games, a treasure hunt climaxed the evening’s entetainment. The second party was held in the new gym during the month of March. Games and refreshments made this a most enjoyable event. During the summer, we were saddened by the death of one of our members, Walter Ault. Others failed to return in September so that when we surveyed our ranks at the opening of school, we found that we numbered only 63. First Row: Lyle Bennett. Allen Barlow. James McFarlirg.

Miss Meyer and Miss Cochonour were our class sponsors. This year we were entitled to the privilege of making life uneasy for the freshmen at the all-school party in October. A short time later we held our own party in the old gym which was festively decorated for the occasion with pumpkins, fodder, and black and orange crepe paper. After a series of unusual relay games, all of us joined in a round of party games interspersed with fortune telling by two expert witches. Refreshments of cocoa and sandwiches climaxed a most enjoyable evening. As a class, we made a very creditable showing in the big parade preceding the Casey-Robinson game. We were confident that our “Queen of Casey” was the most attractive exhibit in the entire parade. Again our members took an important part in school activities. Eleven of our members went out for football and four for basketball. Eleven represented us in the band. This year two of our members, Chlorene Shicks and Morris Paden, participated in debate. As it is unusual for anyone except juniors and seniors to be chosen on the teams, we should be very proud of them. Rosemary Arney and Lee Davis played important roles in the operetta, “And It Rained,” and many sophomores took part in the dances and choruses. The sophomore class is well represented in chorus and club work of all kinds, and many names arc consistently on the honor roll. Sophomores always form a large and peppy element in the rooting section at all games. Altogether, we are quite proud of our activities during our two years in C. T. H. S. and hope to add to our list of achievements from year to year. We wish to express our appreciation to our sponsors, Miss Meyer and Miss Cochonour, for their guidance during this school year.

On our registration day we found that there were one hundred and sixteen of us who were ready to plunder the four years’ course which lay ahead of us. We began the year in the usual manner of electing the class officers, who would steer us safely through our first year’s uncertain voyage. The ballots proved that Hilly Buckler, as president, Robert Goble, as vice-president, and Charles Collins, as secretary and treasurer, would be the responsible people. Although a few of our stray freshmen wandered into senior class rooms, got lost in the hall, and had much difficulty opening their lockers, we finally became settled down to the year’s routine of work and play. However, on the fourth of October, we surely didn’t act as if we were quite at home, as the upper classmen held the all-school party and initiated us into high school life. Upon arriving at the party, we were gathered into a large group just below the stage and told very explicitly to remain where we were. After the party had begun we were ordered to go through a gauntlet of paddles and obey the other rules, such as our brilliant upper classmen saw fit to bestow upon us. To console our grief we were fed cake and candy. After we had rolled peanuts, acted as chambermaids, given lectures, and undergone numerous other tortures, we were dismissed from the party only to spend part of the remaining night in the graveyard and to wear out our shoe soles walking back home.

By this time ten of our classmates had dropped from our class, and one hundred and six of us remained to finish our first year at C. T. H. S. During the year, we distinguished ourselves by taking a very active part in various school activities. Our scholastic ability was represented by Lavon Chrysler, Beulah Collins, Jim Giffin, and Bill Prather, who rated high honors for the first semester. Our class was represented in band by Alice Buckler, Emma Belle Lemley, Noel Grccver, Betty Mae Chenoweth, Marjorie Kilborn, Bob Goble, Billy Buckler, Lconal Elliott, Billy Prather, Herbert Lee, and Eugene Minear. In football we were represented by Dale Hoyt, Noel Greever, Marion Shawver, Leonal Elliott, Russell Jones, Albert Hensiek, and Franklin Thomas. The all-school parade that was held before the football season began, found all of us keenly interested in making a good showing. Nearly a hundred per cent of our class participated in the parade in some respect. Several cars were decorated, floats made, and banners printed, all of which were welcome additions to the parade. Everyone said the parade was the best in years; it must have been so because we were in it for the first time! After a very busy year we feel that we have won our place in the hearts of the upper classmen of Casey High School. First How: Mary Orrcll. Wanctia Pcrisha, Helen Lcohr. Lenna McFarling.

Signed this fourth day of February, nineteen hundred and thirty-five, by: Gilbert Gross Leland Henderson 19 3 5 Page 34 THE FLAME EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES In the process of educating youth to meet and solve the problems of later life successfully it is necessary to furnish a natural social setting for many social experiences. These social experiences must offer an opportunity for self expression and for a demonstration of creative ability. The individual must be able to explore his own potential powers and to give them expression. Thus, in the home, church, school or community at large it is obligatory upon leaders of youth to furnish these opportunities. In the school there has developed of recent years a definite forward movement in the provision of social experiences as well as of academic interests. The academic phases of school life are still dominant in the various curricula found in the program. However, paralleling the curricular subjects are to be found the extra-curricular activities which are extra largely because they arc entirely voluntary activities. These extra-curricular activities are designed to furnish in various ways the social settings in as near a natural state as possible in the organized school for the social experiences of life. Club organizations with specific motives, ceremonies and ideals are provided. Cooperative effort through unselfish endeavor is required to make the club activity succeed. Thus, many boys and girls find social opportunities under capable direction through Latin and French Clubs, through Future Farmers, Girls’ Athletic Association or Home Economics Clubs. More specific self expression is required through dramatics as conducted as a part of the Public Speaking Department. Juniors and Seniors have the opportunity to work in special plays. By a combination of effort on the part of the Physical Education, Dramatics, Music, Home Economics and Manual Training departments, larger productions such as operettas are permitted. Self expression and creative ability are thus allowed freedom of development. The personality of individual participation expands and the general level of group ability is raised. Contentment to pursue the more academic studies is greater when they are interspersed with these social activities. Music productions furnish a more specialized type of activity for those with native ability or interests in music. It offers a leisure time outlet for energy that aids the participant in his quest for happiness. It offers through band, an organized effort, a means to display ability that gives confidence to the individual. The various sports, likewise, permit the individual to develop not only his physical self but to develop confidence in himself. Thus, through these many so-called extra-curricular activities, we have come to find a truer laboratory in which the social side of a boy or girl’s nature is properly developed. The results of participation in these activities are far-reaching into later life. They mean greater confidence in self, more poise and self-assurance, greater willingness to cooperate with others, an increase in results of native ability and greater future happiness. 19 3 5 Page 37 THE FLAME THE FLAME STAFF Early in the fall of 1934 the Senior Class met for the purpose of electing the members of the Flame staff. After a close race between contestants for each position, a staff of ambitious and capable students was finally elected. Helen Tripplehorn and Dorothy Bell, as editor-in-chief and assistant editor, respectively, found that they had an important job before them in managing their co-workers for the good of the cause. The compiling of material for a high school annual is a far greater task than most people realize. The work itself naturally falls into three major divisions: editorial, photographic, and business departments. The first of these requires the greatest originality and writing ability. With Virginia Troughton and Edna Mills at the head of this department, the work progressed rapidly. An article for each club, class, and activity had to be written. However, such able co-workers as Grace Weigel, who kept a day-by-day account of Casey High’s activities, Philip Emrich, who wrote the athletic articles, and Rubert Fuson, who provided the humor (for the staff as well as for the Flame) made the work seem more like play, and so the copy was prepared as a pleasure and not a duty. Evelyn Meeker reigned supreme over the photographic department. As the subject for this year’s annual, “Through the Eyes of the Camera,” necessitated the taking of more pictures than before, it was not an uncommon thing to see Evelyn dashing hither and yon with her trusty camera in hand. Her job was the first to be completed so she enjoyed a smile of satisfaction as she watched the editorial staff scramble to get its work done at the last minute. The business department with Ferrell Abraham as manager and Gilbert Gross as assistant manager had the task of raising enough money to pay for the cost of producing an annual. Mr. Gorden acted as advisor of this department and under his guidance the class sponsored candy sales at the tournaments and at the regular noon hour sessions during the second semester. The senior class play, operetta, advertising, class dues and the sale of the annuals themselves all helped to balance the budget. In this same department Carl McCandlish and June Conel assisted as managers of the advertising that was sold. Two other positions that required work but little glory were adequately filled by Margaret Brewer and Betty Shiels who as typists had plenty of work to do. In all, the whole staff had a great work to do which they did well in a creditable manner under the direction of Miss Nelson. It is their desire, now, that their work be satisfactory and that the Flame will be appreciated and treasured by the students of Casey High School. First Row: Helen Tripplehorn. Margaret Brewer.

Page 38 — 19 3 5 THE FLAME THE BROADCASTER With a frequency of seven days, as authorized by C. T. H. S., the Broadcaster recounts the interesting, amusing, and important happenings during the week and foretells the coming events of our school life. Honor roll; football, basketball, tennis, track and other sport events; tournaments; intcrscholastic debates; class plays; band and musical programs; assemblies; French, Latin, G. A. A., F. F. A., 4-H, Home Economics and all other club meetings; lyccum course, student activities; outstanding individual achievements; and the work accomplished in the various departments are all chronicled by the staff of student writers in their best literary style. In the fall of 1934, the staff was organized under the direction of the advisor, Miss Virginia Christman, and duties were assigned: Helen Tripplehorn—Editor and Home Economics Betty Shiels—Class meetings and class parties Harold Connelly—F. F. A. and football Margaret Kirkpatrick—Latin Club, personals Helen Giffin—French Club and personals Evelyn Meeker—Flame and Student Council Ruth Curry—Dramatics, plays, debates Lois E. Jones—Music, band, and other musical events Doris Staley—Jokes, office notes, general Mary Francis—G. A. A. Virginia Troughton—Library and departmental At the beginning of the second semester, Virginia Troughton, Evelyn Meeker, and Margaret Kirkpatrick became unable to continue because of debate activities. Then early in February, Mary Francis, the able G. A. A. reporter, left C. T. H. S. for Robinson High, and Mardy Morrison assumed the writing of the events of G. A. A. Otherwise, the staff has continued intact, meeting regularly the eighth period on Friday and Monday of each week in room 5 to put into words, clearly and concisely, the life of the school. Thereby, on a printed page in the local newspaper, reserved by the courtesy of the Casey Banner-Times, the Broadcaster develops the writing ability of the reporters, encourages the students to greater achievements, makes a record of the year’s events, and informs the community of the progress of Casey Township High School.

This year Darrell Carper, president of the Senior Class, was the president of the organization, while the other officers of the Senior Class asssited him in conducting the Council. This year the Student Council has presented many outstanding and unusual features to the student body. One of these features was the arrangement of exchange programs with other schools. This enabled the students to hear various types of programs, and to measure our school’s ability with that of other schools. Schools which have made exchange programs with us during the year are Marshall, Martinsville, Westfield, and Greenup. These programs consisted of musical selections, readings, dances, and plays. An unusually good Lyceum Course has also been sponsored by the Student Council. Some of the numbers appearing in the year’s course were: Dr. Carpenter, Scientist; Mason Jubilee Singers; Cordova Concerticrs; Robert Wood, Adventures with Chalk; Patnahasika’s Pets; the Ulrich Duo, Magic and Mystery; and Joseph Schere, Traveler. All the pep meetings were in charge of the Student Council. They, in turn, assigned special pep meetings to the various classes, which were responsible for that particular program. The outstanding pep meetings of the year were held the day before the Thanksgiving and Armistice games. Along with the pep meetings, the Student Council planned one large all-school parade. All students were requested to participate in this in order to show the people of Casey that the high school really hadn’t lost all its pep. This year the parade was probably the best that has been sponsored for the past five years. All the classes and clubs of the school decorated a float and made another contribution to the parade. This parade was held on the afternoon preceding the opening of the football season. Besides the sponsoring of pep meetings, parades, Lyceum Courses and various other features of interest, the Student Council is in charge of tournaments which are held in Casey throughout the year. All members of the organization are admitted free to all tournaments held here. Of course this fully repays them for the year’s hardships! To be a member of the Student Council is one of the highest honors a person can attain while in high school, for the position carries with it a prestige that few of the offices do. However, we sometimes feel that the members of the Council do not take this position seriously and in that way do not display the interest that they might. In reality, these people should be the school’s leaders and, consequently, should so conduct themselves that at all times they would command the respect of the entire student body.

Formally stated, the question was— “Resolved: That the federal government should adopt the policy of equalizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states for public elementary and secondary education.” This year more teams entered the Eastern Illinois League, eight in all, and triangular debates were held rather than dual ones. At Casey more students answered the call for tryouts than was usual in the past, therefore giving the debate coach, Miss Ennis, more material to choose from. She chose six senior girls: Evelyn Meeker, Virginia Troughton, and Margaret Kirkpatrick to compose the affirmative team, and Dorothy Bell, Grace Weigel, and Edna Mills for the negative team. The drawings were made giving to the affirmative team debates with Charleston, Westfield, and Greenup, and to the negative, debates with Effingham, Paris, and Robinson. The results were four wins and two losses. Each team lost its last debate which was quite a disappointment as they were first in line for the E. I. League cup. Although Casey didn’t win the cup, they obtained much honor for defeating Paris. Moreover, Casey tied for first place in the District Tourney, thus being eligible for the State contest. More interest and enthusiasm have been shown this year by the student body, and we arc hoping that this spirit will live and grow to encourage a non-defeated team for next year made up of the alternates this year which were—affirmative, Loyal Hall, Chlorenc Shicks, and Morris Padcn, and for the negative, Bernard Forester. Although only Loyal participated in a scheduled debate, the others obtained a good knowledge of debating. The success of this year’s team was brought about by the splendid work and cooperation on the part of all members of the squad, and by the able coaching of Miss Ennis.

During the past six years the band has made much progress by increasing the size of its membership, and by the addition of new and unusual instruments each year, which makes possible a better instrumentation which in turn makes possible the playing of a better type of band music. The Casey Band has taken an active part in the State Contests during the last four years, and have thrice placed in the first division i:i the District Contest and second in the State Contest. In the solo contest this year, Casey won ten places in the first division and six places in the second division. The District Contest was held in Casey this year for the first time. The date of the solo and ensemble contest was March 30 and the date of the band contest proper was April 12. Casey’s band fans had an opportunity to see our high school band, as well as many others, at their very best at this contest.. The band has played for all the home football games and has traveled with the team and the fans to both Marshall and Martinsville for the games that were played there on Thanksgiving and Armistice day. It has also played as usual for all home basketball games and the three major tournaments held in our gymnasium, the Eastern Illinois League, the District and Sectional tournaments At the Christmas Music Festival, sponsored by the Casey Informal Club, our band played its first group of concert numbers of the school year. At this concert some chime numbers were played with band accompaniment with very fine effect. The state required contest overture which the band played in the contest was ‘‘Son and Stranger Overture” by Mendelssohn, and for the selected number Mr. Hawkins chose Morning, Noon and Night Overture” by Suppe. Credit for the band’s outstanding rise in quality and quantity belongs to Mr. Hawkins, whose unusual ability as a music director is directly responsible for the success of the band during the six years he has been at Casey.

For a time the boys were not interested in singing but through Mr. Hawkins’ efforts they have been convinced that they, too, can sing. A number of boys and girls practiced together all year and from this group a chorus of twenty was selected for the spring contest. The contest number this year was “All in the April Evening.” As has been the custom for several years, the county musical meet was held at Marshall. The Eastern Illinois meet, which had been at Charleston before, was held at Paris. Both times the chorus sang the same selection which they had been practicing on during the last semester. Both years that this chorus has been organized it has been very successful. The first year Casey placed first in the county. Then the chorus has also been successful in winning first place both years in the Eastern Illinois Contest, which proves that we do have boys and girls who can sing and who do sing very well together when properly trained. Besides singing for these two special contests, there arc other occasions when they are called upon. Usually this chorus sings a selection at both the baccalaureate and commencement programs. This organization has been greatly enjoyed and appreciated because people enjoy the blending of tones produced in the voices of both girls and boys. As a whole the mixed chorus holds a very important place in the music department. This year the members of the mixed chorus had the fun of participating in an operetta. As members of the music department, it became their responsibility, with the girls’ chorus, to sing the leading chorus parts. The solo parts were also selected from the personnel of these two choruses. Another feature that the group especially enjoyed this year was the trip to Mat-toon at the time of the Eastern Illinois Division of the State Teachers’ meeting to sing with other E. I. League schools in a massed chorus. At the conclusion of the day’s meeting, this large mixed chorus presented a half-hour’s program of songs under the direction of Miss Ruth Major of Charleston, Illinois. First Row: Lois Ellen Jones.

This chorus is composed of twenty girls selected from the combined chorus sections which meet twice a week during the first semester of the year. During the spring months preceding the contest, the members who are chosen for the glee club contest chorus are required to rehearse individually as well as collectively with the club. This year the contest number was “As Torrents in Summer” by Elgar-Moor and the selected number “Dawn” by Weaver. The chorus won first in the county contest last year and was expected to do equally as well this year. The county contest was held in Marshall this year, as before. The Eastern Illinois League contest was held in Paris instead of Charleston, where it has been held in former years. This year’s contest gave the chorus more to look forward to by its being in a different city. The glee club during the year presented entertainment at different functions such as at the Rotary Club. Business and Professional Women’s Club, and other organizations for women. The chorus also took a big part in this year’s operetta, “And It Rained.” It has been customary in the past years for the girls’ chorus to sing at the baccalaureate services. This gives the seniors their last chance to sing and also gives the public a chance to sec the girls in the senior class who participate in this chorus. The costumes for these different contests are usually all alike. In former years each girl has bought a new costume all just alike. This is usually a white one-piece dress. Last year, however, the girls wore swagger suits; this eliminated the cost of having to buy new costumes. For the past two years at the beginning of the school year a group of students have been chosen to go to Mattoon in the fall to sing at the Eastern Division of the Illinois State Teachers’ Association. Only a limited number can go from each school and so always only the best singers are selected to go. The Girls’ Chorus is a very important part of the musical department and adds a great deal to the school. First Row: Maxine Weaver. Emma Belle Lemlcy. Ruth Curry. Mayme Etnire, Winifred Foster.

Betty Buckler, Virginia Whitton Tribunes .................... Jay Littlejohn, Dale Underwood Membership in the Latin Club “Inter Nos” is divided into three classes: 1. Cives or full-fledged citizens from whom the chief officers of the clubs are chosen; 2. Colonial, or students who have completed the two years of Latin offered by the school; and 3. Municipia, or first semester Latin students. Each year the Municipia are initiated into full membership as Civeo at an impressive initiation ceremony held at the beginning of the second semester. The purpose of the Latin Club is to increase the interest in and knowledge of that classical culture which the ancient Greeks and Romans acquired and passed down to us through medieval Europe. It supplements the classroom work and also gives an opportunity for wholesome recreation and amusement. The outstanding project of the club for this school year was a Roman banquet, served in true Roman style. The new gym was decorated in the club colors, purple and gold, and all the assembled guests were garbed in togas or stolas. Place cards were in the form of miniature scrolls printed in purple and gold. A four-course dinner was served of typically Roman foods and between courses the guests were entertained with dances, gymnastic stunts, Latin songs, Latin poems, speeches, juggling stunts, and a Latin play to close the evening’s entertainment. Programs of the Latin Club are varied in nature. Every meeting brings some discussion on the life and customs of the Romans. Crossword puzzles in Latin teach Latin vocabulary and furnish amusement as well. A girls’ quartette often sings Latin songs in which the club sometimes joins. Admission to meetings is gained only by giving the password for the day, which is usually some difficult Latin form. First Row: Freda Roberts. Edna Lawson. Betty Buckler. Mildred Petty.

Carl McCandlish Lc Vice-president ..................... Ferrell Abraham Le Secretaire ........................... Darrell Carper Le Tresorier ...................................... Jake Walters Lc Cerclc Francais, which is a club composed of all the students who arc in the French department, was organized several years ago for the purpose of developing among the students a greater ability in French conversation, and for the purpose of acquainting this group of American students with the customs, traditions, and mode of living of the French people. A meeting is held once every month at which time programs of varying natures are given at the conclusion of a usually short business meeting. These programs may consist of special reports made by certain students on the French family, religion, education, and government. Other reports deal with subjects that pertain to the geography of the country. Splendid discussions on the natural resources of the country, its rivers, mountains, deposits, and products arise as a result of these reports. The city of Paris itself offers a wealth of information of natural interest to romantic high school students who dream of walking on its enchanted streets some day and actually conversing in French with its citizens. Because of this fact, sometimes the programs assume a lighter nature and may take the form of games, contests, and lively conversation, with the singing of French songs adding zest to the social group. This year the French department has been the largest that it has been for several years. Fifty students out of the total enrollment of three hundred at Casey High School makes a very fine percentage of youn peonle studying French. Consequently, the interest and enthusiasm at the club meetings is double that of former years. The one social event of the year is the party which is held just before the Christmas vacation. All the games, contests, and features on the program are conducted in French, causing much mental agony on the part of visitors, especially. At “Lc Reunion de Noel” this year, the principal feature of the party was a Christmas play given by the French II class. Darrell Carper made a very fine Perc Noel. This same play was also given at the Christmas program held in the assembly. We, as a club, feel that these meetings are well worth while in that the boys and girls get something out of these meetings in addition to what they can get in the classroom.

Helen Tripplehorn Vice-president ........................ Grace Weigel Secretary ........................... Pauline Freeman Sponsor ......................... Miss Margaret Jones The Home Economics Club, which was organized in 1927, has just completed another exceptionally good year in which many creditable projects have been carried out by the girls. Of these many projects, the main one was the Mother-Daughter Banquet. This year’s banquet marked the third long-looked-for occasion where the mothers are guests of their daughters and where they have an opportunity to meet other mothers, daughters, and their daughters’ lady teachers. The guest speaker at this year’s banquet was Miss Ada Hess, State Supervisor of Home Economics. A new feature of the club’s activities in 1934-1935 was a pot-luck lunch that was held on the Saturday of the Robinson-Casey football game. A great crowd of enthusiastic girls from the Robinson and Newton clubs joined the Casey girls at this delicious lunch after which they attended the football game. December found the Casey Home Ec. girls busily preparing for their annual Christmas party “for others.” Instead of enjoying a party for themselves, the girls prepared fifteen baskets of food which they distributed to needy families in the community. The club’s membership of seventy girls was larger this year than in the past. In order to be qualified as a member of the club, every girl must have taken the course in foods or clothing, or she must be enrolled in one of those courses at the present time. The Home Economics Club furnishes a means for practical application of the principles learned in the classroom. These projects that are made possible only by the hard work of each member under the capable leadership of Miss Jones are especially worthwhile for the valuable lessons that the girls learn.

The club has a membership of fifty boys from the vocational agriculture departments. The F. F. A. is a very active organization and has proved itself so by the ribbons, banners, and prizes won at the vocational fairs and judging contests. During the preceding year more than two hundred dollars in prize money and a hundred ribbons and banners have been won by the boys. These contests are held every year for the purpose of encouraging the boys with their own individual projects, and for the purpose of giving the boys trained direction in so developing their projects that they will be able to compete against any school. Every year the Casey boys have ranked high in this respect with other schools. Many of the first place awards have gone to the Casey teams. The contests are held on stock, grain, and poultry. In raising stock, grain, or poultry for the fairs, the boys acquire splendid, definite experience in the field in which they are especially interested. In addition to this, they are also trained in judging and that, of course, is valuable knowledge to possess. Their ability to judge stock, grain, and poultry accurately has brought many ribbons to the Casey club. The Father and Son Banquet is an annual event with the boys’ dads as guests of the boys. A bond of fellowship is formed at these banquets, and they are looked forward to from year to year. The work of the F. F. A. club is not confined only to the boys themselves, and their own farming problems, for it includes the entire farming community. The boys have been glad to assist neighbors in culling hens and in many other ways assisting in farm guidance. The main purpose of the club is to advance agriculture in the community and to create a bond of fellowship. We believe a certain degree of success has been obtained, and we wish to attribute that success to our instructor, Mr. Newlin. First Row: James McFarling, Boyd Hires. Edwin Murphy. Wayne Shelton.

Mr. Bergeson, coach, assisted by Mr. Lee, assistant coach, has supervision of all athletics and physical education for boys. At Casey High School the major sports are football, basketball, track, and tennis. This season forty-eight boys reported for football, forty for basketball, and with the new track in shape at least thirty boys reported for track this spring. The number reporting for tennis is always smaller because only a few get to play in this sport. This year the boys out for athletics have also taken part in the physical education classes, a requirement made to put physical education on a credit basis for university entrance. In other words, a boy can use his physical education credit the same as his history or algebra. This step has not been definitely decided upon, but it seems to be a near possibility. Attending physical education classes gives the boys a chance to learn a varied group of activities that will have a carry-over value in later life. Boys unable to make the major sport squads are given an opportunity to participate in intramural activities such as baseball, basketball, volleyball, and track. During the noon hour each day, a varied activity program is offered. In the spring, playground ball and horseshoes; in winter, basketball and tennis; and in the fall, baseball, tennis, and horseshoes arc the chief sports enjoyed at the noon hour. The objectives of the physical education department are to help build healthy bodies, retain knowledge of health rules, high morals, sportsmanship, character, leadership, and to develop skill in performing various activities. The activities that are taught are: touch football, soccer, playground ball, fundamentals of baseball, basketball, volleyball, semi-organized games, track, tumbling, and wrestling. With the new track in readiness for spring work a renewed and eager interest was shown in track this year. The track teams at Casey have been coming along, and good interest is shown each spring. Last year the track team finished second in the E. I. League meet at Charleston with Z6l 2 points, the winner having 28. Carl Mc-Candlish tied the E. I. high jump record of 5 feet 7 inches. Charles Perry’s pole vault record of 1933 was broken by Steele of Robinson. The track program varies the sports from team play to endurance performance. This gives the boys not suited for team play a chance to participate. This year Casey held the Clark County Meet, and in another year or so will hold more important meets. This should aid in creating more interest in track in the school. The tennis team did very well last year in sending both a single and doubles team to Champaign for the state meet. They also won places in the Clark County and E. I. League meets. Page 51 19 3 5 ------------— - THE FLAME ---- -. FOOTBALL SUMMARY, 1934 Casey, 0; Robinson, 6 In the opening game of the season Robinson defeated Casey 6-0 on the Casey field. Both teams were evenly matched but Robinson put over a touchdown in the last few seconds of the first half. The Casey team threatened on two occasions in the second half, but could not score. Casey, 6; Charleston, 34 Casey suffered its worst defeat in six years when Charleston’s passing attack could not be stopped by the locals. Casey, 0; Palestine, 12 The third defeat of the season came at the hands of Palestine on their home field. Palestine made this game their Homecoming, and this gave them the inspiration to beat a fighting team. The teams battled evenly until a “sleeper” play gave Palestine the ball near the Casey goal line. The Casey boys flashed good form in the last five minutes with the game ending with the ball on Palestine’s one yard line, with two downs to go. Casey, 25; Charleston T. C., 7 Casey beat a weak T. C. team, on the home field, and showed a real brand of offensive football. Runs of fifty, forty, and ten yards were made for touchdowns, the climax coming when Townsend caught the opening kick-off in the second half and scampered one hundred yards for a touchdown. The Casey reserves played most of the second half. A total of twenty-five boys saw action. Casey, 0; Garfield, 26 A determined bunch of boys left Casey for Terre Haute, but seemed to lose it in the first quarter of the game. The playing field was like a brick road, and it worked on the Casey boys who are used to a fine playing turf. The second half was scoreless, with the Casey team showing good form and fight. But it was too late; the damage had been done. Casey, 13; Paris, 7 The locals, inspired by a fine crowd because of the Fall Festival, turned back a fighting Paris team, 13-7. This game showed that the team was beginning to find itself, and acted as a starter, for the team gave a good account of themselves in the remaining games on the schedule. Casey, 6; Martinsville, 6 A moral victory for Casey, as Martinsville was doped to beat us by four touchdowns. By Martinsville scoring six points in the first few minutes, the Casey team came to life and fought and outplayed Martinsville the remainder of the game. The boys from Casey deserved to win and we can say it was the best performance of the season. Casey threatened often in the last quarter but fell short by one yard on one occasion, and ten on another, and were in possession of the ball on Martinsville’s twenty yard line as the game ended. The fans were very well satisfied with a tie, but it could just as well have been a victory. Casey, 6; Marshall, 20 A good crowd was on hand at Marshall for the annual Thanksgiving game. Marshall was first to score but Casey evened it up a short time before the first half ended. Except for the first quarter Casey was outplaying a good Marshall team. The Casey running attack was functioning splendidly. The second half was a different story, because Zschau got to throwing passes with deadly accuracy. It would have been hard for any team to have sent a defense against it. The result was two touchdowns for Marshall. The Casey boys never gave up and were fighting up to the last minute, and threatened to break away for a score on a number of occasions. The 1934 season is over, but most of the boys are back next year and we are hopeful of reversing all our losses then and of coming out on top when the percentages arc figured. 19 3 5 Page 52 THE FLAME FOOTBALL SEASON The 1934 football season at Casey High opened the first day of school, forty-eight boys answering Coach Bergeson’s call for football material. The squad was the least experienced of any C. T. H. S. team in the last five years; eleven lettermen were lost by graduation, and two more did not return to school. Of all those that reported, only five boys had seen actual game experience and only three were lettermen. The task of developing a good team was a difficult one, and even when a team finally was pretty well set, injuries would knock it “in the head.” An alumni game was scheduled for practice purposes and the high school was beaten by one touchdown. The boys came back and played nice football against Robinson, but then started their losing streak. Casey didn’t win a game until the Paris game on November 2. This is the first season for a good many years that a Casey football team was clearly outplayed in a number of season games. Even in defeat the boys had fine spirit all season, never giving up, and putting into the game all they had. The redeeming feature was the last half of the season, Casey winning two games, tying one, and losing one, which was a great comeback for a new team of inexperienced boys. Only seven seniors were on the football squad, and of them only three were regular players, which means that Casey will have eight regulars back for next year’s team, besides a number of fine substitutes. The seniors on this year’s team are Phillip Emrich, Hugh Smith, Ross Funk, Richard Ewing, Boyd Davis, Chester Garrett, and George Grant. Of them, Ross Funk, Hugh Smith, and George Grant were regulars. Hugh is considered a senior as far as athletics are concecrned. . It is the coaches’ and team’s hope that every boy will return to school next fall and the student body and fans can look for a much better team for Casey High in 1935. It takes a great deal to make a winning team that really has the stamina to withstand a hard season. In the first place the team must be willing to train correctly and work hard to try to do their very best under all circumstances. In the second place the school must have plenty of good old spirit that will enable it to boost a losing as welt as a winning team. These two factors we are certain we can have next year and then, coupled with effort on everyone’s part, we know we will have a successful season. First Row: Harry Clem.

After winning the title three years in succession, the Casey team was eliminated by Marshall in the first game. The Casey boys played good ball, but could not connect with the basket for points. This one thing seemed to hound them through most of the season. Following the Casey-Marshall game Westfield defeated Martinsville in an overtime by two points. In the final game the Marshall team was too much for Westfield, and Marshall received the trophy as winner of the 1935 Clark County Championship. Marshall had a veteran team composed mostly of seniors and was headed for a successful year in basketball. EASTERN ILLINOIS LEAGUE The Eastern Illinois tourney was held at Casey on January 30, 31, February 1, 2, it being the sixth year in succession that Casey has had the honor of holding this tournament. This also was the first time in four years that the Casey team didn’t rate with the first four or five. The favorites were Oblong, Marshall, Greenup, Kansas, and Charleston. The Casey team did itself proud by beating Charleston High in the opening game Thursday bv a score of 28-17. This was a great upset as Charleston had beaten Casey the week before, 27-9. The Casey boys played a fine game and could not be denied a victory. The next night Newton defeated Casey, as the hard game the night before told on the Casey boys. The winning of the Charleston game meant a lot to the Casey team, as they came out of it and played good basketball the remainder of the year. Oblong won the tournament for the second time by beating Marshall in the final game. This made Oblong the first team to win the tourney twice since the Hcacon News Trophy has been given. The team that wins it three times gets to keep it permanently. We can not remember when the E. I. League had so many one-sided games as during this year’s tournament. Only one close game in the whole tournament was played, that being the Oblong-Mar-tinsville game. Such scores as these were common: 33-18, 43-3, 50-22, 23-10, which was the score of the final game! Usually the games are close and exciting all the way through. It seemed as though a team would play a good game one night and be completely off the next, and would lose by a one-sided score. The only team that kept a steady pace, and played good ball throughout, was Oblong, the winner. The tournament had the same good spirit, clean play, and sportsmanship of other years, but the type of games and the attendance fell below normal. It is hoped that a more thrilling and exciting tournament will be in store for next year and with Casey one of the finalists. DISTRICT The third tournament to be held in the Casey gym this season was the State District Tourney held on March 6-7-8-9. Ten teams were represented — Casey, Marshall, Martinsville, Kansas, Tpledo, Ashmore, Westfield, Greenup, Paris, and Montrose. The favorites in this tourney were Marshall, Kansas, Greenup, and Martinsville, with Casey as the dark horse, because of her victories over Martinsville and Marshall in the final week of the season. Dope ran true to form, with Marshall and Kansas playing in the final game. Casey beat the Toledo team, but fell before the strong Kansas team. Things looked fine for the Casey team in the second half with the score 13-11 against them. At this point things began to happen. Townsend left the game with a bone fractured in his hand, and he was followed by Stiff and Logue on four fouls in short order, so that at the end of the third quarter Casey was playing with three regulars out. We are not taking any credit from Kansas, as they have a fine team, but we feel as if it might have been a different story if the Casey team had not had a few bad breaks. The other boys carried on in fine shape, always within threatening distance, and as everyone said. “The Casey team went down fighting.” Remember this: It’s not whether you win or lose, but how you played the game.” The district also seemed dead this year with small crowds at each session, except when the Casey team played Kansas. It seemed as though the towns were not backing their teams as well as they had in former years. The final game climaxed the whole show in great style, with Marshall winning from the Kansas team in an overtime game with a score of 27-25. Pane 54 THE FLAME BASKETBALL SEASON,1934-35 The 1934-35 basketball season opened at Casey High a few weeks in advance of the close of the football season as the boys not out for football began basketball under the direction of the assistant coach, Ethard Lee, following the Armistice Day game. A whole new team had to be built, as seven of the first ten in last year’s squad graduated. Of these seven, four made up the regular team as that year’s season closed. Those who were lost by graduation last year were: Lee Watts, Howard Clem, Lyle Meeker, Ronald Jones, and Richard Yanaway. Norman Repp, a mainstay of the team last season, did not return to school, which left Townsend, Logue, and Stewart as the only regulars for this year’s team. Two others who did not see much action last year, but who played this season, were George Grant and Richard Ewing. The basketball squad was divided into two groups—Ethard Lee handling the freshman and sophomore groups and Carl Bergeson, the first squad of juniors and seniors. About thirty-five boys reported for practice, and a majority of this number were out all season. In fact, as the season ended, something like forty were playing basketball on the various teams. The first squad lined up in the following way: Townsend, Grant, Logue, Stewart, Foraker, Stiff, B. Davis, C. Smith, Ewing, S. Brook, and H. Matheny. The first game was played at Robinson, December 4th, but the football boys as yet were not in shape to play. Clem, Stewart, and Foraker showed up best, but took a sound beating. Bridgeport opened the season at Casey, December 8th, but again the boys could not hold out in the second half. The lineup had added to it Grant and Townsend. At Paris the boys began to hit and won a fine victory, but it did not seem to help out in other games. Considerable substituting and changing of men was done in progress, trying to hit on a winning five, but the results were not very good. Casey entered the County tourney with this lineup: Townsend, Foraker, Stewart, Logue, and Grant, but fell before Marshall in the first game. Other boys who saw action were Ewing, Etnire, Stiff, Clem, and Hugh Smith. The E. 1. Tourney had Casey playing Charleston High the second night. In this game Casey upset the dope by beating Charleston, one of the favorites, 27-18. They really played good ball, and deserved to win. This gave the team confidence and they came along in good shape from then on. The lineup for this game was Townsend, Logue, Ewing, Grant, and McCandlish, with Stewart playing a fine part also during most of the game. Following the E. I. Tourney, Stewart had to drop out of basketball because of an injury, and Carl McCandlish was laid up for two weeks with a sprained ankle. Again a change had to be made. This time Stiff and Grant were at guards, Ewing and Logue at forwards and Townsend center; this is the way the team finished the season, winning three of the last six games. V v .. ..

NEWS FLASHES________ VOL. I CASEY, ILLINOIS MAY, 1935 G. A. A. XMAS PARTY FOR “KIDDIES December 21. 1934, marked one of the greatest and most enjoyable events in the history of G. A. A. when the girls sponsored a Christmas party for the primary grade children. The “kiddies gathered in the old gym which was elalwiratcly decorated with red and green crepe paper. At one side of the gym tliere was a fireplace and a beautifully decorated Xmas tree. Several games were played and all the children gathered around the tree while Virginia Troughton told a Christmas story. This, of course, was the center of interest until Santa Claus came with a great big bag of toys. After the toys were given out by Santa, the girls as well as the children had a great time playing with their toys. Refreshments of pop corn balls, oranges, sandwiches, and cocoa concluded the eventful party. The children left happily with their arms filled with toys and candy, and saying what a wonderful time they had with Santa. The G. A. A. girls feel that this party was so much of a success that they are hoping it will become an annual affair in the G. A. A. program. MATTOON PLAY DAY On October 30, ten G. A. A. girls motored to Mattoon to attend a Hallowe’en Play Day. They reported having a good time in spite of the rain. These I'lay Days are quite l en eficial to any giri who attends— in that she makes new acquain tances and renews old ones. HONORS FOR G. A. A. GIRLS Resides getting awards, there are other honors in store for any G. A. A. girl who works for it. Every summer, three girls from each of the three lower classic are sent for one week to a G. A. A. Leadership Camp vith all their expenses pain by the school. This is a wonderful opportunity for every girl and an experience that one would carry all through life. The camp strives to develop high ideals and leadership among girls. The girls who attained this honor last year were Pauline Freeman. Lorean Francis, and Virginia Whitton. These girls had a wonderful time and one which they probably will never forget. Wonder who it will be this year?— Never can tell it may be YOU!! BULBS FOR SALE You will have a much happier Xmas if you buy Narcissus Bulbs! They are now ready to bloom— and arc they cheap? All planted in fancy pots. Help the G. A. A. Buy Now! 10c-25c FALL PLAY DAY Oct. 20— One of the outstanding G. A. A. events was a Fall Play Day held at C. T. H. S. in which over one hundred girls from ten different schools took part. Activities such as baseball, volleyball. soccer, archery, and stunts were organized and the girls enjoyed a day of wholesome fun. At the noon hour Miss Jones, assist cd by G. A. A. girls, served lunch, after which a stunt from each school was given. ! TELEGRAPHIC TOURNEY ! March 18— This marks an important part of the basketball season. The G. A. A. girls all over the state participate and the results are wired to the League office. The tournament is in the form of shooting baskets from eight different positions on the floor in twenty four trials. There are state and district awards given to each G. A. A. who makes the most baskets in the least number of trials. AFTER SCHOOL SPORTS To start the Fall season out with a bang, new archery equipment arrived, which included a forty-inch target, new arrows and one bow. By the end of the first eight weeks' period some of the girls became quite skilled and gained some hard earned points. Volleyball, soccer, horseshoe pitching, and hiking, equally as l opular sports, were also enjoyed by the girls. With the coming of winter, fall s| orts were discontinued, and basketball and dancing l ecame the major activities. Each class chose a captain who took charge during the entire season. As soon as Old Man Winter began to show signs of leaving, spring activities began. These consisted of baseball, volleyball, tennis, horseshoe pitching, archery, and hiking. Eight consecutive weeks of participation in any of these sports gives 20 points toward getting a G. A. A. award. CONGRATULATIONS!— G. A. A. We are quite proud of the girls who won first prize in the G. A. A. Stunt during our annual Fall Festival. Leave it to the G. A. A. to bring home the bacon.— Part of the five dollar ! paid our State League dues. What will we do with the rest have a party?? —Huh! HIKE!!! — WIENER ROAST!! 'Twas on a lovely Tuesday evening that alniut twenty-three G. A. A. girls hiked out to the Old Stone Quarry and had a wiener roast. We are sure everyone was plenty hungry and believe it or not. there wasn't even a sign of a wiener or marshmallow left. The increase in calories certainly helped their weary legs carry them home. BASKETBALL CAPTAINS ELECTED Class Basketball Tourney is under way. The captains elected are: Alice Buckler — Freshman Virginia Whitton—Sophomore Subrina Huffman—Junior Pauline Freeman—Senior. SCAVENGER HUNT To show the freshman girls what a peppy organization G. A. A. is. they were given a party which began with a scavenger hunt. The groups had much fun in scouring the vicinity for grains of rice, horsehairs, etc. The hunt ended in the park and it was a close race to see which groups would get from the rain first. In spite of it. several of the girls enjoyed a good swim in the pool. Everyone contributed something to the lunch, and did those girls ever eat! Of course, the freshmen were just a little new and l ack-ward. but I don’t think anyone went away hungry. So here's to Bigger and Better Scavenger Hunts and less Fall Showers. G. A. A. WORK—HALTED All after-school time will be given over to operetta practice. The girls are working hard on their dances, and they deserve much credit for their talent. 19 3 5 Page 56 THE FLAME. = G. A.

The conference the m e was ■'Crossroads”. The main address in the morning was given by Mrs. C. W. Hlakey of Carbondale. Her theme was “Crossroads”. Her talk proved to l e very unusual and inspirational to the girls. The conference consisted of 291 girls and adult leaders. The girls were divided into discussion groups and the topics discussed were the following: A girl and her boy friends, vocations and avocations, smoking and drinking, and choosing a husband. Miss Cochonour was one of the group leaders. A banquet was held in the evening, after which songs and yells were given by the different schools. Casey, for having the l cst song and yell, won first prize. Miss Maria Leonard, dean of women. University of Illinois, gave a very fine talk which concluded a very enjoyable and worthwhile day for every girl who attended. BASKETBALL LUNCHEON MARCH 19. 1935 The Junior. Sophomore and Freshman basketball teams entertained the Seniors at a luncheon for their having been “Champs” of the basketball tourney. About fifty girls were seated around card tables which were attractively decorated. The program consisted of G. A. A. songs, speeches by the captains. readings, and a number by our trio. A delightful luncheon was served ami everyone felt it had been one of the most successful parties ever given by G. A. A. TENNIS AND BASEBALL Major sports of the spring are tennis and baseball.

The objectives of this department arc to develop health habits and to promote ideals of leadership and sportsmanship. It strives to correct the weaknesses and deficiencies of individuals and to prevent all interference with the development of right habits of living and the growth of a strong physical body. The physical education classes meet twice a week. Health rules and personal hygiene, as well as activity, are stressed. The seasonal sports offered are soccer, volleyball, basketball, and baseball. Four years of physical education are required of each girl unless she hands in an excused medical slip after being examined by a physician. There are approximately 120 girls taking physical education and about 70 of these girls are members of G. A. A. Each girl before entering into any strenuous activity must first be examined by a physician. Each year the department gives a health or activity demonstration on Exhibit Day. This exhibition is open to the public and its purpose is to give one an idea of the department’s activities and their value to the school. Much enthusiasm is aroused in the spring by the tennis tournament. One girl is chosen to represent the school in the singles tournament and a double team is chosen to compete in the doubles tournament. The Girls’ Athletic Association, which is a main branch of the physical education department, was organized in 1928 under the sponsorship of Miss Vefda Jordan who is president of the State Association. These organizations are steadily increasing in number as well as in activity attainment all over the state, so we feel quite fortunate in having facilities and equipment to carry on and make our association still more successful.

Seventy-five people participated in the cast, dances, and choruses to help make it one of the finest and prettiest of high school productions. In order that an operetta can be given successfully it is necessary to have the full cooperation of the Music, Dramatic, Home Economics and Physical Education departments. Each of the departments responded loyally and spent many long hours in perfecting their part of the entertainment. Mr. Hawkins directed the music; Miss Nelson, the dramatics; Miss Cochonour, the dances, and Miss Jones directed the making of all the costumes. “And It Rained” is an especially gay, charming operetta filled with lively music, comic situations, and a variety of dances. The action of the story moves rapidly with one humorous situation quickly succeeding another. Several of the scenes are especially attractive for their beauty, the outstanding one of which is the “moonflower” Mr. Wise ........ M’lle.

Page 61 19 3 5 = T H E FLAME ===== SECOND CHILDHOOD Tlic Junior Class play entitled “Second Childhood,” a farce by Zellah Covington and Jules Simonson, was presented December 13 under the direction of Miss Ennis. The cast worked very hard, rehearsing daily in order to perfect their parts at the date set for the presentation of the play. It was a play of unusual merit and promised fun for the spectators as well as the actors in their preparation for it. This annual event occurred earlier this year, as did also the senior comedy, “The Nut Farm.” “Second Childhood” furnished plenty of laughs throughout. Joe Buckler, who was the professor, was working in his laboratory trying to perfect an elixir of youth. He experimented on dogs to see how it affected them, and if it made them puppies, it would surely make old people young again. So he got Mrs. Viwcrt’s dog, who had puppies, and took her to his laboratory to experiment. In the meantime, Mrs. Vivvert, who was Loretta Johnson, came over to his house looking for her dog. At the same time Philip, who was Carl Stull, had gone to the laboratory, and got the dog, leaving one of the puppies in her place. Later, the professor went to the laboratory and saw the puppy and he was sure his elixir had worked. Later lie wanted to try this on the General, who was Jake Walters, and they have quite a time. The General’s daughter-in-law, who is Lorean Francis, complicated matters by bringing her baby in to be cared for by the General. You can readily see what happened when the General disappeared, leaving the baby in the professor’s living room. The professor, not knowing that the General had left, naturally thought that the elixir had made the General a baby. So the remainder of the play was one complication after another, furnishing many laughs for the audience. The cast of the play was as follows: Professor Frederick Relyca..................................Joe Buckler Mrs. Wellsmiller (“Auntie”) his sister....... Winifred Foster Sylvia Relyca, his daughter ..................... Mayme Etnire Philip Stanton, his assistant ...................... Carl Stull General Henry Burbeck ............................Jake Walters Marcella Burbeck, his daughter-in-law........Lorean Francis Mrs. Vivvert, a neighbor .....................

Frowning three-act comedy centering around Hollywood and its film figures, was staged by the seniors on the evening of October 26, under the direction of Miss Ennis. The action centers around the Barton family and their friends. Willie Barton, the hero, is desirous of becoming a movie director but no one seems to recognize his ability. His sister, Helen, much to his disgust, wishes to become a movie actress. She finally persuades her husband, Bob Bent, to invest ten thousand dollars, which he had planned to use to buy a nut farm, in a movie. She is to star in this picture, and Willie will direct it. They make the picture from a story which J. Clarence Biddeford has written for Helen and Harold Van Horton, another actor. The picture seems to be a failure when it is produced, and Bob is about to go back to work in a department store. Willie and Agatha Sliscomb, with whom he is in love, suddenly disappear, taking with them Helen’s jewels. That same day, Biddeford calls and offers Bob five thousand dollars for his rights in the picture which they thought was worthless. Before Bob has time to sign the contract, Holland, who influenced Helen in her desire to act, comes and offers him ten thousand dollars for the rights of the picture. Just as Bob is about to sign, Willie and Agatha walk in and Willie makes Holland leave. He has obtained eight thousand dollars for the rights of the picture, which was a huge success as a comedy though it had been intended for a drama. Willie has been offered a job as a director in a large studio, and he and Agatha are married. Her father, Sliscomb, is reconciled and Helen says, “Now, in my next picture—” The play was given in the fall instead of the last week of school, as the custom has always been. As the royalty had been reduced, the seniors were able to obtain a play of finer technique than has been possible in former years. This play was presented to the largest audience of any Senior Class play within the last five years. The play was quite polished and showed excellent work on the part of the director, production staff, and the cast. The cast for “The Nut Farm” was as follows: Mrs. Barton ...........

Does that make the experiment any better? 7 Will someone ask Lorcan Francis and Ruth Shawver where Pckinian, Illinois is? 8 Well! Well! Aunt Polly Freeman arrived late this morning. She had to walk the floor with her little nephew last night. 11 To think that anyone would call our history teacher, Miss Ethard Lee. 12 Assembly talk by a gentleman on the Boys’ Conference at Palestine. 13 Whew! Hurrah for our side! Both the negative and affirmative debate teams ran away with things at Effingham and at home. 14 Well, the basketball team is climbing. Palestine just beat them one point. 15 Hurrah! We beat Lawrcnceville 34 to 18. It seems we’re going places. 18 Be good, everyone! Courtesy week starts today and there are some lively scouts watching all of you. 19 Come on, you Juniors. The Juniors beat the Freshies 16 to 5 in the first game of the girls’ basketball tourney. 20 Debate was held between the negative and affirmative debate teams. Two alternates substituted two members of the affirmative team. 21 My! Oh, My! What a game. We, the Seniors, beat the Sophomores 35 to 0 in the second game of the girls’ tourney. 22 George and Martha Washington came back to help us celebrate George’s birthday today. 25 Don’t be too afraid, Freshies. The G. A. A. girls are initiating the new' G. A. A. members. 26 The Junior-Sophomore game was held after school, and the Juniors carried away the day. 27 Hurrah for the debaters! The teams beat Westfield and Paris and now have the highest standing in the E. I. League. 28 The Seniors beat the poor little Freshies by an overwhelming score. MARCH 1 The negative debate team had a practice debate with Greenup today. 4 We had a wonderful assembly today. Mr. Black played some w'cll-known musical compositions. 5 Come on, you Seniors, beat the Juniors tonight and win the tourney. 6 The debate teams were invited to tea by the Home Economics girls. 19 3 5 Pajfc 66 THE FLAME MIDWEST DAIRY PRODUCTS CORP.

My! These floors ARE terrible. Gene Stiff just glided down. 13 The debate teams have their third session tonight. The affirmatives meet Greenup and the negatives meet Robinson. 14 Well! Well! Another Basketball Tournament is on our hands. 15 These tournaments should bring the Seniors a lot of money for we had the last two of them. 18 G. A. A. and F. F. A. meetings were held today. It was decided in G. A. A. when the winners of the Basketball Tournament should have their party. 19 The clothing girls had a fashion show in the assembly today. We certainly appreciate their fine work. 20 We had a special assembly today and it certainly was enjoyed. 21 We would like to know who Alice Ripple’s boy friend is. I think she likes him a lot. 22 Helen Gardener tried something new in the way of falling down. She picked a time when George Grant was at the foot of the stairs and could catch her. 25 Class meetings were held today. Tlu Seniors selected their invitations for graduation. 26 Alice Ripple is getting into the public eye too much lately. What was she doing with all the candy kisses? 27 The band and solo contests occur today. Come, gang; let’s go to town. 28 The E. I. League debates start today. Let’s give the teams our support. 29 We want that E. I. League debate trophy. So let’s go out and get it. APRIL 1 This is an open day, but let’s hope that it isn’t open long. I’ve been fooled so much that I’m dizzy,— nothing unusual, of course. 2 What’s this I hear about parties? Tck, Tck. 3 All the under classmen just love the Seniors, because they get out of school tomorrow. 4 Senior Day. Whew! I didn’t know there were so many Seniors in the world. 5 Preliminary contests have started. Literary and music contests were held today. 8 Home Economics and French Club meetings were held today. The Home Economics girls are having a Senior reception. 9 The Senior girls are thankful to the Home Economics Club for the tea. 10 Such lovely weather was never made for studying, and some of the students seem to think so, too. 11 Mr. Buckler is finding various uses for safety pins; it seems cpieer. 12 At last the District Band Contest is here. 15 The Latin C!ub meeting today was very special. 16 Miss Johnston certainly looks tired. 1 don’t blame her though. The Junior-Senior Banquet is full of work. 17-18 Who said we shouldn’t study? The six weeks exams almost caught us napping. 19 The Junior-Senior Banquet was a great success. We Seniors certainly thank the Juniors. 22 G. A. A. and F. F. A. meetings were held the 8th period.. The girls of G. A. A. arc planning a picnic again soon. 23 The Literary Meet is to be held at Westfield. 24 The Music Meet is at Marshall today. 25 The Track Meet is at Casey this year. Let’s support our track team. 26 Let’s hope that this is the last time this year that anyone takes a tumble, although Virginia Poe did do it so gracefully. 29 Class meetings were held today and most of the classes are planning parties. 30 The G. A. A. ; iris are having a grand time with their archery equipment. MAY 1 Well! Here is May Day—although no one distributed any May baskets. Some of the under classmen act childish enough though. 6 The G. A. A. wants to have a May Fete besides the Exhibit Day program, and I think it is a good idea. 8 Iowa tests. And they certainly are tests. Suppose “you” try it once. 19 3 5 Page 68 THE FLAME 10 It is so warm that everyone is getting lazy. 13 The Home Economics and French Clubs ended the year with a Mother and Daughter Tea and Style Show. Miss Jones certainly deserves some credit for her wonderful work. 17 Well! We have a little more pep. The Exhibit was a great success. 20 G. A. A. is through with Exhibit Day but we still hope for the May Fete. F. F. A. Club meet today. 23-24 Senior exams. Now I bet you wish you had either an A or B. 26 The Baccalaureate exercises were held this evening. 28-29 Final exams. I bet all the under classmen wish they were Seniors now. 30 Memorial Day. 31 Senior Class Day! All the awards were given out. Commencement is to be held tonight. This means GOOD-BYE and all of the Seniors hate to leave C. T. H. S. Well! So long, there is nothing more to be said. JOKES Who was the originator of the idea that man and wife are one? “I give it ut , but it strikes me that it would have saved a lot of argument if he had said which one.” Found while reading through an old annual: “When duty and pleasure clash Let duty go to smash. —Ethard Lee.” Crawford Foraker while reciting a poem with gestures, “That mark our place, and in the sky The larks still bravely—” “Fly,” prompted Miss Ennis. Crawford—“How do you do that?” Mother—“Helen, were there no eggs?” Helen Gardner—“No, mother, only the ones the hens use for a pattern.” Marilyn—“It ain’t the school I don’t like; it’s the principal of the thing.” “What’s that I smell?” cried the lady from the city, as she sniffed the country air. That’s fertilizer, replied Mr. Newlin. “For the land’s sake!” exclaimed the lady. “Yes, ma’am!” answered Mr. Newlin. Mr. Daugherty—“Do you guarantee this hair restorer, and are you absolutely sure that it will grow hair?” Bill Haughn—“Better than that, we give an excellent comb with every bottle.” Lee Davis—“When I’m sad I sing, and then others are sad with me.” Margaret Kirkpatrick—“I wish I could know how many men will be made wretched when I get married.” Pat Hills—“I’ll tell you if you’ll tell me how many men you’re going to marry.” Mr. Daugherty—“First I’ll take some sulphuric acid, then I’ll take some chloroform.” Delmar Etnire—“That’s a good idea.” Senior (at a basketball game)—“Look at the crowd: aren’t they numerous?” Freshies—“Yes, and aren’t there a lot of them?” Miss Johnston (in French class)— “Please follow the work on the board.” David Bell—“Well, where’s it goin’?” Freddie Bliss— Women don’t interest me; I prefer the company of my fellow men.” Ethard Lee— I’m broke too, brother.” Betty Shiels (discussing Civil War)— “Lee was handsomely attired in a uniform and a sword, while Grant wore nothing but a ragged Union suit.” A fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer. Maybe that’s why so many students flunk. Hawkins—“We’ll play the March Song next.” Bill Prather—“What? 1 played that last. Paffe 69 “THE FLAME Joel K. Kemper Frieda M.
