Act I—Scene I The scene opened with eighty-three green freshmen and Mr. Buckler in the assemly. Mr. Buckler directed the freshmen about their school duties and classes and at the sound of the bell, the freshmen scurried off to their lockers and various classes. Much to their embarrasment they often found themselves in the senior History class or the English III class, and occasionally were seen sliding down the stairs or in a none-too-graceful sitting position in the hall. The next thing, the inexperienced new-comers attempted to do was to organize the class. At the first meeting they elected as president, Eugene Johnson; vice-president, Max Meeker; secretary and treasurer, Betty Jane Daniel. This meeting enabled them to become acquainted with their class adivsor, Miss Huntington and Miss Harris. The freshmen became more experienced at the all school party given at the beginning of the school year. The upper classmen received no little amount of enjoyment out of tormenting the poor innocent beginners, but from the entertainment furnished by the embarrassed freshmen, the would-be superiors received much education. A class party was given by the new group on December 19, 1935 at which about forty boys and girls were present. Games were played, refreshments served, and lessons forgotten in a general good time. After having taken the examinations at the end of the first semester, they began to feel like full-fledged High School students. They began to realize that high school was to be taken much more seriously than grade school had been taken. The cockiness of the eighth grade was beginning to wane. Unfortunately not all of the class were able to stand the difficulties of high school work, for at the close of the second semester there were only seventy-eight enrolled. Scene II This beginning class, determined not to be outdone in activities by the Page 26

As we were about to be dismissed for the short Christmas vacation, we were quite surprised to hear Junior Law read to Santa Claus a number of our secret wishes that had been recorded by our very efficient secretary. Throughout the year our class was well represented in athletics. Fifteen of our boys went out for basketball or football or both. They were: Franklin Thomas, Clifford Lamb, Bill Emrich, Albert Hensiek, Marion Shawver, Bill Fuson, Bill Buckler, Russell Jones, Leon Elliott, Noel Greever, Herbert Lee, Leon Taylor, Rex Connelly, Bill McDaniel, and Eugene Galey. Twelve members of our class were active in band work. They were: Emma Belle Lemley, Junior Law, Alice Buckler, Marjorie Kilborn, Bill Prather, Eugene Minear, Bob Goble, Bill Buckler, Leonal Elliott, Bill Fuson, Herbert Lee, and Betty Chenoweth. Page 25 We had our share of fun. In regard to this we should like to express our thanks to the School Board for having made possible our noontime recreation by furnishing us moving pictures and various games. We have profited by them and feel that they have helped us to become better school citizens. As to the scholastic record of our class, the first six weeks Beulah Collins, James Griffin, and Bill Prather made high honors. The second six weeks Beulah Collins and Doris Laymon were the only ones to earn high honors. By the time the third six weeks rolled around Billy Prather was the only one to reach the goal. Beulah Collins, James Giffin, and Billy Prather made high honors for the semester. As a class we have tried to uphold the standards of our school, and .we hope that we may continue to hold a respected place among the students and faculty of dear old Casey High.

The freshmen gave a play during the second semester for which they charged a whole nickel, thus serving the double purpose of entertaining the entire assembly and of paying for their page in the Flame. It is hoped that practically every member of the class will return next September to again take up his role as a student here in Casey High. Act II will begin September, 1936, and will extend until the last of May, 1937. Page 27
