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.

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.

 - Z= THE FLAME = SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In September, 1933, a group of 99 eager young students enrolled for the first time as members of the student body of Casey Township High School. 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.
