EDITOR'S NOTE From New York City to Los Angeles —from the Atlantic to the Pacific—a distance of 3.000 miles, the National Old Trails Road or U. S. Route 40 now extends without a gap, the country s greatest artery of motor travel. In addition to being a mode of travel from coast to coast, the road furnishes a panorama of America. It traverses the great industrial centers of the East, the rich producing areas of the Middle West, and the scenic wonders and playgrounds of the West. It gives the traveler a glimpse of practically every phase of American life. The year nineteen hundred and thirty-six marked the hundredth anniversary of the road's entrance into Clark County, of which Casey is a prominent town. The lifetime of this route and also of Casey s own centenarian are parallel. In honor of these two birthdays the Flame Staff of 1937 presents this book. FLAME 3 Itfe Hmtnr . . . UNCLE CICERO” On a cold, bleak morning in November, just a century ago, Cicero Fancher was born. The world upon which he opened his eyes near Columbus. Ohio, was still half wilderness. When the boy was thirteen, his father decided to move on west. The opening of a broad highway in 1836 from Maryland to St. Louis had made travel so much easier than it had been twenty years before that Father Fancher could not resist trying his fortunes in a newer country. He followed the trail and settled finally near what is now Casey. In the span of a century Cicero Fancher has seen 26 Presidencies from Andrew Jackson to Franklin Roosevelt. He has witnessed the coming of the cross country highway, the railroad, the balloon, the automobile, the airplane (yes, and has even ridden in one). A century of living has been traversed. We are happy to honor our centenarian and his long and useful career in our community. Cicero Fancher, Because he is Casey's own centenarian, Because he has always been a good and upright citizen.

The golden threads of life that have been woven into the patterns of the past four years have brought every member of the class of 1937 into a picture pleasant to remember. Each of you holds a place that cannot be filled by another. Each of you has won some honor—whether large or small. Each of you has contributed in some measure to the success of the school as a whole. Thus I may state in all sincerity that your lives have already counted, that your life as an individual member of the class of 1937 has already been worth while. Success has (In ii v. We wish to express our appreciation and say farewell to our principal, Mr. Buckler, and to the teachers whom we have learned to like and respect. Four years ago we entered Casey High School as struggling freshmen, who were perhaps a little fearful of the teachers and everything else in general. But we soon learned that we had a real friend in Mr. Buckler to whom we could go, tell our troubles, and receive his most sincere kindness in helping us out. Although he may have been busy when we shyly entered his office, he would take us aside and do all he possibly could to help us with whatever our troubles might be. So many times we have entered his office not taken you by the hand and is asking you to continue to walk by her side. Will you do this? It means hard work and sacrifice. Are you willing to give the best of yourself, your time, your energy, and your ability to make the most of yourself in the years to come? The ultimate success of Casey Township High School is dependent upon your future success. Casey High wishes to serve its community and the nation at large, but this desire can be accomplished only through the success of you who leave her doors. May we count upon you to continue to do your best? J. Bruce Buckler. IHuckler quite sure of ourselves, but after a few minutes with him, we have been set straight again and once more have been able to walk with heads straight and a sure foot. He is a person from whom one can expect, and does receive, justice at all times. As we leave Casey High School and fall in line with the other graduates of the world, we will look back upon the many times that Mr. Buckler has made our goals clearer to us and set us more confidently upon the hard task of attaining them. We feel that we have made a true friend whom we shall not soon forget and who, we hope, will always remember us. The Class of 1937. FLAME 8 THE 1937 tin £lu' HWrb The students of Casey Township High School express their sincere thanks to this group of men, the Casey Township High School Board of Education, who were chosen by the township voters as the citizens best qualified to look after the welfare and progress of our school. As a result of the untiring efforts of this board and the community as a whole, our school ranks high in the state. We are proud of our school plant—the well-kept lawns and beautiful shrubbery of our campus, the football and track fields, the tennis court, the splendid buildings with their well ventilated and sanitary ciass rooms, clean floors, and expert janitor service —all evidence of a watchful board of education. We are grateful for the enriched curriculum of our school,our modern equipment, our well trained teachers: all of which offers us the opportunity to grow intellectually under careful guidance and pays tribute to the alertness of our board. The unselfish efforts of these men warrant the great appreciation of the entire community. The class of 1937 takes this opportunity of thanking them for their services.

The class, which began with ninety-nine members in 1933, has now dwindled to forty-nine. Some of these students transferred to other schools, some dropped school, a few are married. Of the forty-nine members of this year's graduating class several are transfers from neighboring schools. In order to give a bird's-eye view of the high school record of this class, we present the following chronological outline of events and statistics. 1933-1934 Ninety-nine freshmen enter Casey Township High. They are greeted heartily by Principal Buckler. They are greeted heartily (?) by the upperclassmen. They are given two sponsors, Mr. Johnson and Miss Cochonour. Class officers are elected: William Walling, president; William Staley, vice-president; Clifford Lamb, secretary-treasurer. Freshies win first prize for the best float in the parade preceding the Casey-Marshall football game. Upperclassmen welcome the youngsters into the school. (This is a nice way of speaking about the time-honored inititation of freshmen, which isn't so nice; that is, it isn't so nice for the freshmen.) Freshmen hold a wiener roast at the park. Games, treasure hunt, and food are enjoyed. Eight boys are out for football; four are out for basketball. (Continued on Band has ten freshmen members. Six to ten freshies have names on the honor roll each six weeks. Year ends with class ready to initiate the new freshies. Class member, Walter Ault, dies during the summer of 1934. 1934- 1935 Sixty-three class members return to Casey High as sophomores. Officers for this year are president. Dale Underwood; vice-president, William Staley; secretary-treasur-er, Jay Littlejohn. Miss Meyer and Miss Cochonour are sponsors. Sophomores entertain freshmen with a Hallowe'en party in old gym— for initiation purposes. (We enjoy being on the other end of the log. ) Eleven boys are out for football, and four for basketball. Chlorene Shick and Morris Paden go in for debating. Rosemary Arney and Lee Davis play important parts in the operetta, And It Rained. Other sophomores take part in the dances and choruses. The end of May comes and we are rather glad to be done with this sophomore state. They can no longer call us wise fools. 1935- 1936 Fifty-five sophisticated juniors enter the portals of C. T. H. S. Dale Underwood continues as our president, ably assisted by Messrs. Staley and Littlejohn. Page 25) 18 THE 1937 Hjiutinrs To bring our record up-to-date, we herein present a survey of the years we have spent in the halls of Casey High. When we entered in the fall of 1934, we were greeted as freshmen always are. Miss Mary Huntington and Ethard Lee were put in charge of us. With their help we elected Bill Buckler president, Bob Goble vice-president, and Charles Collins secretary-treasurer. To take care of the financial problems of the class, Miss Huntington coached us in a one-act play by the name of Elmer. The new school year of 1935-1936 found us back for the second time. We discovered that we had lost several members of our flock during the summer months. After organizing under the leadership of Miss Emily Kelley and P. E. Acker, we chose Don Henry president, Herbert Lee vice-president, and Doris Laymon secretary-treasurer. During our sophomore year the boys of our class began to show up in athletics. In football and basketball the following boys were in the running all the time: Franklin Thomas, Clifford Lamb, Bill Emrich, Albert Hensiek, Marion Shawver, William Fuson, Bill Buckler, Russell Jones, Leon Taylor, Noel Greever, Herbert Lee, Leon Elliott, Bill McDaniel, and Eugene Galey. As a fitting close for our second year in Casey High, we accompanied the Class of 1937 to Twin Lakes, where a pleasant afternoon was spent bathing, boating, and picnicking. In the fall of 1936 seventy-nine students registered as juniors, and the class was reorganized with the assistance of Miss Kelley and A. C. Daugherty. Our class officers elected were president, Junior Law; vice-president, Bernard Forester; secretary-treasurer, Lavon Chrysler. Six juniors received football letters this year. They were Russell Jones, Marion Shawver, Franklin Firs! Row: Robert Goble, Eugene Galey, Don Moulding, Russell Jones, Carl Cohoon, Irwin Phar, William Prather, Junior Law.

Other players receiving honorable mention were Noel Greever, Leon Taylor, Eugene Anderson, Willard McCrory, Leonard McCrory, and Bernard Stephenson. At the close of the season Russell Jones was chosen captain for the 1937 football team. Bill Buckler, Eugene Galey, Bill Fuson, and Marion Shawver were awarded basketball letters for the 1936-1937 season. A big event of the year for Casey High students is the banquet at which the seniors and faculty are entertained by the third year students. This year the party was in charge of the class sponsors. The gymnasium was made gay for the occasion and about 150 guests enjoyed the dinner prepared under the direction of Mrs. J. E. Rose. The juniors earned money for this entertainment by selling candy at noon during the first semester. They also had charge of the candy and popcorn stand at the Eastern Illinois League tournament. Mr. Daugherty was the financial manager of the class. Additional funds were brought to the treasury by proceeds from the junior play presented April 1. For this play Director A. B. Ives chose Shakespeare's immortal Taming of the Shrew. The leads in this, Kate and Petruchio, were protrayed realistically by Emma Belle Lemley and James Gif-fin. A true Shakespearean effect was produced by means of a temporary outer stage which extended out from the permanent stage onto the gymnasium floor. A shallow inner stage with curtains to shut it off were used for the more intimate scenes. Changes in scene and act were announced by signs. Public speaking classes arranged Elizabethan costumes for the actors. First Row: Vera Beasley, Helen Leohr, Wanetia Perisho, Enid Crouch.

SCENE II The sophomores upheld the position which they had won for themselves in their freshman year by adding many more laurels to their crown. In football they were represented by Bob Wright on the first team, and Dale Bell, Bob Arney, and Eugene Johnson on the second team. The sophomores claimed as basketball players Ben Bertram, Don Brewer, Mac Reiss, Eugene McCrory, and Merle Funk. In tennis they were represented Drama of the Class of 1939 Scene: Casey Township High School. Time: August 31, 1936, to May 27, 1937. ACT II—SCENE I Our scene opened with seventy-three serious-minded students who survived the freshman scramble. They had put aside their freshman capers and greenness; they were sophomores filled with sophomore wisdom. In their first class meeting they elected Herschel Collins president, Eugene Johnson vice-president, and Marjorie Watt secretary-treasurer. Their advisers of the first year, Miss Mary Huntington and Miss Helen Harris, were replaced by E. C, Gordon and Miss Madeleine Anderson. When later Miss Anderson was substituted for Miss Huntington as senior adviser, her position was filled by Miss Katheryn Hartman.

Out of the fifty members of Inter Nos, seventeen were members of the Class of 1939. The two highest offices in this club were filled by Betty Jane Daniel and Eugene Johnson, who served as consuls. Marjorie Watt was one of the censors and Norma Greever, a tribune. In G. A. A. sixteen second year high school girls went on the hikes, played after school games, and enjoyed the good times planned for them. There were fourteen sophomore girls who learned in home economics how to toast bread without burning it and how to sew a seam straight; they made up one-third of the Home Economics Club. Eugene Johnson, Clifford Roan, Mary Shick, Berniece Watts, and Marjorie Watt were out for debate In scholastic ranking the sophomore class had a favorable position. Act III will begin in September, 1937. and several of them took part in the debates held at Casey and neighboring schools. The class was also musically minded; one-fourth of the band and one-third of the music clubs were sophomores. A one-act play, Not Quite Such a Goose, was presented to the assembly in a Monday morning program early in November. An admission of five cents was charged and the money collected was used to pay for the sophomore pages in the Flame. The characters were portrayed by Modena Jeffers as the mother, Mary Shick as the sister, Betty Brown as the girl, Paul Robey as the sister's friend, and Eugene Johnson as the hero of the play, the one who was never going to be quite such a goose as to fall in love. THE 1937 jfu'shuni On Monday morning, August 31, eighty-three of us inexperienced freshmen flocked into the assembly to start our high school education. Here we were told something about the nature of our classes, their location, and who our teachers were. We visited each class for about ten minutes; then we were dismissed until the following morning. The next few weeks were a mad jumble with our getting into the wrong classes, having trouble with our lockers, or falling down on the slick floors in our hurry to reach class on time. After we had settled to a certain extent, we found that it was time for our election of class officers. With the help of our patient sponsors, Helen Harris and A. B. Ives, we selected officers as follows: president. Betty McCash; vice-president, La-mont Dehl; secretary-treasurer, Lor-ene Ping. These became our representatives in the Student Council. On September 25 came the night, at the thought of which all good freshmen quake—initiation night! Arriving in costumes we were escorted into the gym which was filled with gaily dressed people. We were lined up for the various games and relays which followed. After this we were ordered to the front of the gym where we could see on the stage a jury composed of upperclassmen. One at a time, or in groups, we were called before the heartless jury, convicted, and made to pay the awful penalties. Later, to console our grief, we were fed cup cakes and pop.

FLAME 23 jfiTslmicn By the end of the first semester we were beginning to realize that school was not all fun, as some of us must have believed judging by our report cards. We had already resolved to try a little harder next semester. At the end of the first semester, scholastically, Cora fane Shackelford, Virginia Moore, and Betty Mc-Cash had high honors; Martha Buckler, Winton Hammond, Alta Law, Russell Mumford, and Pauline Wright had honors. In the various school activities we freshmen soon found a place. Our band representatives were Martha Buckler, Norma LeMay, Eleanor Kite, Maxine Lee, Winton Hammond, Donald Foreman, William Weaver, Warren Merling, Jack Davis, Evelyn Callahan, Virginia Moore, Vaneta Whitney, Betty McCash, Bert Brewer, and George Giffin. In football we were represented by Clayton Robey, Everett Groves, Lamont Dehl, Charles Jacobs, Robert Smith, and Charles Ulrey. Merle Snider, Charles Ulrey, Marion Kilborn, Clayton Robey, Jerald Barr, Lamont Dehl, Don McFarling, Howard McSchooler, Dale Small, and Robert Smith from the class played basketball. When our school decided to have a pep club for the basketball team, Lorene Ping, Martha Buckler, Virginia Moore, Lamont Dehl, Clayton Robey, Maxine Leohr, Vaneta Whitney, Bert Brewer, and William Weaver proved to be our peppiest freshmen and therefore became members of the pep club.

THE 1937 if untball The Casey Warriors started on the gridiron trail last fall with only one legular from the team of the year before, Captain Bill Staley. The team was led also by a new coach, Gene Rose. The boys showed fine spirit and fought courageously every minute of every game, winning five games and losing four. In the Eastern Illinois Conference Casey placed third in a league of ten teams and placed fifth in the Wabash Valley, a league of twenty-eight schools. The Warriors were victorious over Charleston, Paris, Martinsville, Robinson, and Marshall; they lost to Mattoon, Garfield of Terre Haute, Oblong, and Palestine. September 11—Mattoon (There) The Warriors with only six days of practice lost a night battle to the heavier Mattoon team to the tune of 12-0. October 2—Charleston (Here) The Warriors defeated Charleston 2-0 before 3,000 Fall Festival fans. Staley upset the dope bucket by kicking a field goal in the final seconds of play. October 10—Palestine (There) Palestine, the E. I. League champions, defeated us 7-6 on the Palestine field. Weaver's place kick hit the cross bar and kept us from tying the score. October 17—Oblong (Here) Oblong, led by Correll and Ship-man, instituted a second half attack that snowed Casey under by a score of 28-7. The score was tied at the half 7-7. Oblong had a real team and were Wabash Valley Champions for 1936. October 24—Paris (Here) Casey ran wild against Paris and routed them 27-6. The Warriors' attack was functioning perfectly; the score would have been much worse if Coach Rose had not substituted the Reserves in the last quarter. October 31—Garfield (There) Garfield High of Terre Haute defeated the Warriors 47-0. The Garfield team outweighed Casey 30 pounds to the man and were state champions of Indiana.

FLAME IBasketball With only two lettermen, Russ Haddock and Max Weaver, to serve as a nucleus for his team, Coach P. E. Acker started basketball practices early in December. At his call fifty-two men reported to the new gym for the initial meeting. All but five of these stayed out the entire season. The boys were divided into two groups; the first squad of about twenty players working with Coach Acker; the second squad of about twenty-five players training under Assistant Coach Gene Rose. During part of this time a freshman team was organized and met other teams. Although they did not have a particularly brilliant record of victories, this training was good for the underclass boys and will make it easier for them to fall in line next year. The Warriors played their first scheduled game December 18, in their own gymnasium. The season was closed for them when they were defeated by a margin of four points in the semi-finals of the State Regional Tournament by the Oblong quintet, winner of the Regional and one of the best teams in this section of the state. The team suffered a severe loss early in the season when Reese Hemingway, a junior who had been playing forward on the first team, moved to Oakland. The players and the school were sorry to see Reese go. Perhaps to the spectators the 1936-1937 record was not so impressive as they had hoped for, but fans who are competent judges of hoopsters said that this year's team was one of the best Casey High has ever had. It is true that they suffered a slump in the middle of the season; however they snapped out of it during the last few weeks of play and managed to go much farther than had at first been anticipated. The Warriors lost five games by very narrow margins, two of them by one point. The total number of points by which the Casey boys were beaten by these winning teams was only nine points. In nearly every instance the Casey team made a decided comeback in the last half. (Continued on Page 64) First Row: J. McFarling, Buckler, Galey, Fuson, Haddock, Hemingway.

A. organization began the year with an entertainment (or the freshmen. The party was given in the form of a buddy breakfast, on Saturday, September 12, at 6:30 a. m. The new girls with the upper-class girls as their buddies hiked to Elliott's Woods where a breakfast for forty-five was served. After our first party the G. A. A. Board organized the outside sports for the first eight weeks. The following sports were decided upon: hikes, horseshoe, archery, soccer, and tennis. During the week of September 17 Miss Maude Carson, state supervising nurse from Robinson, visited us. With the assistance of Miss Coch-onour, Miss Carson gave each girl a physical examination. It was found that some faults had been corrected; now an effort is being made to correct new defects discovered this year. In September Chlorene Shick, Dorotha Estes, Mary Orrell, Buda Coverstone, and Alice Ripple, accompanied by Miss Cochonour, attended a Railroad Play Day sponsored by the Marshall G. A. A. Thanksgiving vacation brought our Second Annual G. A. A. Homecoming. The G. A. A. planned and prepared the supper and entertain- ment for seventy members and alumnae. During the second eight weeks basketball was the main after school feature. There was much rivalry between the teams, and the season ended with an intramural tournament. The high spot of the year was the Third Annual Christmas Party on December 21, at which the G. A. A. entertained the first and second grade school children. The Christmas spirit prevailed throughout the gym as the children took part in the games. Most exciting was Santa, who brought plenty of toys for the thirty-six children who attended. With spring came more hikes, tennis, baseball, and volleyball. First Row: Moore, Barr, M. Delp, Minesing-er, Fain, Stephenson, Lee, Townsend, Davidson, Perisho, Frazier. Second Row: Law, Beasley, B.

FLAME 33 Hinttc tcmunnics (Club The Home Economics Club is an organization of girls who take a course in home economics in high school. The club furnishes an excellent means for practical application of the principles learned in the classroom as well as an opportunity for enjoyable social activities. The officers of the club this year were president, Geneva Biggs; vice-president, Buda Coverstone; secretary-treasurer, Mildred Huddleston; adviser, Miss Margaret B. Jones. Many creditable projects have been carried out this year. One of the most important of these was the Mother-Daughter Banquet held October 22. This was the fifth annual banquet at which the mothers, guests of their daughters, had the opportunity of meeting other mothers. The honored guest and speaker for the evening was Dr. V. V. Russell. At Christmas time we had a charity basket for which all members of the club were asked to bring contributions, either food or clothing. There was enough to distribute to three needy families here in town. Several of our girls also assisted in serving the alumni banquet at Christmas. Another project that proved to be a great success was the Courtesy Week held the first week of March and sponsored to bring to the attention of the students those attributes of refinement and culture which should mark every truly educated person. We presented the regular Monday morning assembly that week and gave a program dealing with the proper conduct for high school students.

THE 1937 31 ntcr JCos Inter Nos started its fourth year with fifty active members to entertain and instruct regarding the customs, traditions, and mode of living of the ancient Roman people. At the first of the year all the members became true citizens of Rome by adopting Roman names. The consuls, supreme in power over this small Roman empire, were Betty Daniel and Eugene Johnson. The quaestors, Betty McCash and William Prather, took care of the financial problems. The censors, Marjorie Watt and Martha Buckler, had charge of minutes and roll call. The tribunes, Norma Greever, Lucille Richardson, and John Kauffman, made all posters, charts, pictures, etc., that were needed. The aediles, Don Ormsby and Jay Littlejohn, planned programs of entertainment and instruction. Included in the various programs were games, contests, and Latin songs. A favorite game was bingo in which the numbers were called in Latin. Another pleasant time was had when a spelling match was held in which all participated in spelling Latin words. The third annual banquet was held on December 17, at the begin- ning of the Saturnalia, a period of Roman holidays from which many o[ our Christmas customs have been derived. The first year students, dressed in short tunics to represent slaves, served the advanced students and guests who were dressed as Roman citizens. A regular egg to apples dinner including the usual gustus or relish course, the cena prima,” and cena altera, the vegetable and meat courses, and the secunda mensa or dessert course.

The bureau is composed of presi-dente, Alice Ripple; vice-president, James Giffin; secretaire-tresorier, Doris Laymon. One seance is held each month in Room 13. La presidente calls the meeting to order with the words: S'il vous plaitl La seance est ou-verte.” Next la secretaire reads the minutes, le proces-verbal, of the previous meeting and fait 1'appel—calls the roll. At one reunion we played bin-go ; at another we were entertained by a skit, Tout va bien qui finit bien ; Guillaume Staley and Max Meeker played the parts of the two French gentlemen. Later we heard Mile. Evelyn Turner talk about her trip to France. At other times we studied our newspapers, La Vie and Le Petit Journal. The climax of our year came when we entertained our members and several guests at a dinner party served as nearly as possible according to French style. The setting was a sidewalk cafe in Paris with strolling musicians, a real chef, and an apache dance. The v aiters, boys in the first year French class, served us, first of all, hors d'oeuvres — appetizers of all kinds Next we had a bouillon, a clear soup. This was followed by the main course; later fruit and cheese were served with coffee. At his place each guest found a passport giving his physical description, picture, and a permit to visit this play-pretend Paris. The guests of honor were M. et Mme. J. B. Buckler, Mile. Emily Kelley, Mile. Margaret Jones, Mile. Evelyn Turner. During the evening Mile. Kelley was made a member of the celebrated French Academy, and M. Buckler was presented with the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor. Mile. Kelley and M. Buckler made short speeches of acceptance in French.

S., kept the gossip stirred up during the 1936-37 school term. The Broadcaster was published weekly as a part of the city paper. Three special editions were also brought out. These editions appeared at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Commencement. Advertising space was sold to the local merchants, and papers were bought by students and townspeople. Everyone seemed to enjoy the papers immensely, and we are proud of our achievements. The staff was organized under the sponsorship of Veairnell White. Eleven seniors and two juniors enlisted as reporters for the paper. Those taking active part were edi-tor-in-chief, Virginia Poe; dramatics. Jay Littlejohn; commercial and science, Chlorene Shick; home economics, Dorotha Estes; G. A. A. and office news, Alice Ripple; personals and jokes, Lela Mae Stevens; manual training and agriculture, Morris Paden; inquiring reporter, William Walling; boys' athletics, James McFarling and Irwin Phar; music, Betty Chenoweth; typists, Coral Hud- dleston, Phyllis Comer, and Marjorie Sharp. Throughout the year class plays and club meetings figured in the headlines. The honor roll was not slighted, nor the faculty meetings ond parties. County, district, and state contests were also reported. During the fall football games and on into the winter basketball season the Broadcaster reviewed the news. With the coming of the spring, tennis was a popular subject. Along with the news columns was included the Inquiring Reporter, a new type of feature written by William Walling. This column consisted of a suitable question with a response by various members of the student body and faculty. Another interesting feature was the Who's Who written by various members of the staff. This article contained an amiable description or character study of a fellow-student usually. Sometimes one of the faculty might find a keen-cut description of himself in the paper, thus seeing himself as his students saw him.

FLAME 37 jFlmuc §taff This volume of the Flame marks the thirteenth anniversary of the establishment of a yearbook at Casey Township High School. The first volume of the Flame was published in 1925. No explanation was given in the first volume for the choice of name for the book. We like to think that the name is a symbol of the torch of knowledge and understanding which is passed on from one generation of students to the next, carrying with it the ideals and traditions of each class. Yearbooks are treasure chests which will become more precious as the years go by. When we are in high school, we enjoy getting them and reading them from cover to cover. Probably it will be later, though, that their real value will be brought home to us. When years have rolled by since our high school days, when we have forgotten the names of some who were our daily associates at C. T. H. S., it will be fun to get out oui Flames and rekindle thoughts of these happy days. We do hope that the 1937 Flame will bring you happiness today and pleasure in days to come. We wish to honor the following alumni who helped in their senior year to keep the flame burning.

For the season of 1936-37 the debate question is Resolved. That all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated. This question seems to be packed with strong debating possibilities. The results of the debate season last year were rather disheartening; however, considering the experience gained by the speakers, those debates were invaluable. The high-light of the last season was the Illinois High School Speech Association Meet held at Bloomington. Here we had an opportunity to meet fellow debaters from all over the state. Director A. B. Ives put forth this year a product known in the inner circles as a humorous (?) debate team. This said team was composed of Eugene Johnson, Clifford Roan, John Kaufmann, and Bernard Forester. These honorable personages matched wits (or half-wits) on the grave question; Resolved, That there is a Santa Claus. The affirmative won in the final count, but it was later found that the affirmative had bribed the judges. The debates this year were the usual meets between the schools of the E. I. League. Our schedule for the Eastern Illinois League this year called for three debates on February 10, February 24, and March 10. Casey affirmative met Paris, Charleston, and Robinson; the negative team met Robinson, Effingham, and Newton. An innovation in league debating this year is the use of a two-man team instead of the customary three-man teams of former years. This change in procedure opens up the prospects of debate for many smaller schools and lowers the cost of transporting students. A shorter time is required for debating an issue, and each debator must put more preparation upon the whole debate. Students participating in debate have made this winter one trip to Eastern State Teachers' College library at Charleston for material. A party was held for all debaters at the sponsor's home and long games of Fifty Questions held the attention of the group for about an hour and a half. Of course refreshments were served.

FLAME 39 Student (Council The Student Council, made up of the officers of the four classes, works for the welfare of the school by acting in an advisory capacity in regard to student activities. It also directs student affairs with the assistance of faculty sponsors. Geneva Biggs, president of the 1937 senior class, has been head of the Council this year. A committee composed of Dale Underwood, Lavon Chrysler, Her-schel Collins, and Betty J. McCash has been in charge of the Monday morning assembly programs. Students, as well as faculty, have been urged to take part. Usually the program has been turned over to a student chairman. Feature entertainments were the football program with an immense purple and gold football decorating the stage, and Lee Davis, Max Meeker, Herbert Lee, and William Earl Weaver singing parodies as the players received their letters from Coach Rose; an Armistice celebration at which Rev. L. L. Lawrence recounted World War experiences; and a Christmas variety show. Pep meetings were directed by Student Council members who at first planned a celebration for each pep assembly. Later a new club, the Pep Club, was organized under the leadership of Eugene Johnson and Herschel Collins, assisted' by several faculty members. Students were encouraged to attend games, to sit in the cheering section, to cooperate with the cheer leaders, and to cheer the team to victory. The all-school party in honor of the freshmen was undertaken by the Council members, who were assisted by Colonel Ives. The party, held October 14, was a masquerade and was well attended. To be a member of the Student Council is one of the highest honors a student can attain while he is in high school. In reality the members are the school's leaders; they command the respect of the entire stu-' dent body; and they serve as an inspiration to other students.

THE 1937 (Ilie illt -cii (Clunnis The Mixed Chorus seems to grow in popularity and usefulness each year. For contest purposes our music department maintains this a cap-pella choir of approximately 20 mixed voices. For the rendition of the finer choral works there is no better medium of expression than the Mixed Chorus. The membership of this group includes only the students who by tryouts show some ability and skill as a musician, such as possessing a smooth singing voice and one that will blend with other voices. Much work is done in chord blending, vowel singing in unison and scale vocalizing during the first of the year in order to produce a fuller and richer tone quality. Bach Chorales are a part of the regular rehearsal and have proved most valuable in developing greater independence of the various parts. Some of our library music includes: All in the April Evening, Listen to the Lambs by Dett; Now Let All the Heavens Adore Thee by Bach; also a collection of choice works by the great living composer, Dr. F. Melius Christiansen. Besides the two annual contests in which the chorus takes part, the County and the E. I. League Contests, it will also enter the District Vocal Contest which is preliminary to the State Choral Contest. The Illinois School Vocal Association was organized this year and will no doubt be responsible for the rapid rise of more and finer choral groups in our high schools. We will also have entered in the Olney Contest a male quartet composed of Lee Davis, first tenor; William Earl Weaver, second tenor; Herbert Lee, first bass; and Max Meeker, second bass. All are members of this Mixed Chorus. Several soloists will be entered. The required selection for the County and E. I. League Contests is The Green Cathedral. The required number for the District may be selected from a group of four numbers. We have chosen Listen to the Lambs by Dett. For two years our chorus has been represented in the All State Chorus at the University of Illinois during the High School Conference for teachers. Those selected to go to Urbana this year were Rosemary Arney, William Buckler, Max Meeker, Herbert Lee, and Lee Davis. First Row: Vaneta Whitney, Marilyn Smith, Rosemary flrney. Marjorie Sharp, Elizabeth LeMay, Elsie Stephens, Mary McNurlan. Second Row: Doyle Estes, Bill Buckler, Max Meeker. Don Brewer, Herbert Lee, Lee Davis, William Weaver, Paul Robey. FLAME Owls’ (6lcc (Club The Girls' Glee Club is one of the most popular organizations in our school. This club is composed of twenty girls who have had experience in the general chorus and have by tryouts shown that their voices will blend with others to give the desired ensemble effect necessary to a fine sounding choral group. It is somewhat more difficult to maintain the high musical standard in the glee club group since the Mixed Chorus has been organized. Girls can sing in only one of these clubs. The best singers now are divided, whereas before all girls could be in the Girls' Glee Club. This chorus rehearses twice each week at the fourth hour on Monday and Wednesday. Our rehearsal consists of vocal exercises, vowel blending, scale passages in unison, chord blending, and the singing of many three-part songs and choral works. The contest number for the County and E. I. League Contests this spring is A Celtic Lullaby by Hugh S. Roberton. This is a simple Irish melody of the usual lullaby type, but beautiful if artistically done. The objective in all choral work in Casey High School is to give to as many students as possible the necessary fundamental principles of breath control and the correct use of the voice. This training enables them later to take their places in the various vocal organizations. Chorus work should include practically every student, for surely there can be no more healthful or enjoyable use of leisure time than singing. The future of vocal work in our school will see not only a well trained glee club and high school choir but many small quartets and trios. There has been organized this year the Illinois State Vocal Association. According to its plan the state has been divided into eight districts. Each of these will hold a district contest preliminary to the state contest. The date of our contest was set for April 17. This new organization should give impetus to finer choral work in all schools. The next few years should see progress made in the vocal field comparable to the amazing developments throughout the nation in band music, largely because of the state organization's effective sponsoring of our present day contests.

O. Hawkins has been very fortunate this year in acquiring several new instruments and having an enrollment of 60 enthusiastic members who have worked diligently toward a first division in the state. The state required number was Iolanthe Overture by Sullivan, and for the selected number we chose Daphne's Overture by Holmes. We have many members who take part in both the solo and ensemble contest each year. In the past they have won several first places in the district and state contests. This year, as before, we have played for the football games, basketball games, and other school functions. Mighty Casey at the Bat ‘But this Mighty Casey Brass Sextet did not strike out when it came up to bat' at the 1936 National Ensemble Contest. It placed in the first division, as it had done for two years in the state contest. “The members of the Casey, Illinois. High School Band who make up this sextet are Bill Buckler, Crawford Foraker, Bill Fuson. Paul Wright, Lee Davis, and Lovell Pulliam. Three of the boys will have grad- uated by the time another contest rolls around, but the three remaining ones are going to do all they can to make up another National Champion Sextet. J. O. Hawkins is their director. The above writeup was extracted from the nationally known magazine, School Musician. The members of the 1936-1937 sextet this year were Bill Buckler, trombone; Bill Fuson, baritone; Herbert Lee, tuba; George Giffin, French horn; Max Meeker, second cornet; Lee Davis, first cornet. They were entitled to go to the national contest because of the first division standing won in 1936. First Row: E. LeMay, flrney, B. Buckler, McNurlan, Petty, Weaver, M. Buckler, Whitney.

GROWING Presented THE 1937 TFutitrc partners of America The Casey Chapter o{ the Future Farmers of America is only one of 3,500 local chapters containing 82,-000 members and extending from Washington to Porto Rico and from Maine to Hawaii. The first F. F. A. clubs were formed in 1928. The purposes of the F. F. A. are to develop competent, aggressive rural and agricultural leadership; to strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in his work; to create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations; to create and nurture a love of country life; to improve the rural home and its surroundings; to encourage cooperative effort among students of vocational education in agriculture; to promote thrift among students of vocational agriculture through the establishment of savings accounts and investments in agricultural enterprises; to promote and improve scholarship; to encourage organized recreational activities among students of vocational agriculture; to supplement the regular systematic instruction offered to students of vocational education in agriculture; and to advance the cause of vocational education in agriculture in the public schools. The Casey chapter placed second in the sectional judging contest in 1936 and won many first places as teams and high individuals. Twelve boys went to the State Judging Contest at Urbana. Casey held the Vocational Agricultural F. F. A. Corn and Poultry Show in 1936 at which they won $167. They also won $85 at the Vocational Livestock Fair at Charleston. The officers of the club are Russell Jones, president; Floyd Smith, vice-president; James Giffin, secretary; Clifford Lamb, treasurer; William Stallings, reporter; W. A. New-lin, adviser. The club's educational program includes testing of seed for farmers, demonstration of the proper way to select, test, and store seed corn, farmshop exhibits, testing of milk, preparation of rations for livestock jor farmers, and a pasture project in which each boy sowed an acre of ground with a mixture of seed furnished by Mr. Newlin.

As a second production in a cycle of Shakespearean plays, the junior class arranged to study the Taming of the Shrew in English classes, make costumes, design settings, and act out the play. James Giffin, tall, dark and handsome, played the part of the tamer, Petruchio, while Emma Belle Lemley played the shrewish Katherine. The play itself is one of disguised lovers, an obstinate father, a sweet and gentle daughter, and a shrewish one. All the rich, gay company of Shakespeare's day is present in The Shrew. In a prologue, Christopher Sly, a drunken tinker, falls asleep outside an English inn. A nobleman returning from his hunting sees Sly lying outside the inn and determines to trick him into believing he has been a nobleman out of his head for a number of years and has merely been pretending to be a tinker. The hunter has Sly removed to his palace, dressed elaborately, provided with servants, food, and a wife. Strolling players come to the palace and present a comedy, The Taming of the Shrew. The Shrew, Katherine Minola, is older than her sister, Bianca, but has not such a sweet disposition as her sister. Baptista, the father, decrees that Kate must marry before Bianca can choose between her two suitors, Gremio and Hortensio. About this time Lucentio, a student from Pisa, comes to Padua accompanied by his two faithful servants, Tranio and Biondello. The student sees and falls in love with gentle Bianca. He disguises himself as a teacher and persuades Gremio to hire him to teach Bianca. In the meantime Tranio, dressed as Lucentio, presents himself at Baptista's house and pretends to be a suitor for the favorite daughter's hand. Hortensio conceives the idea of masquerading as a teacher to Bianca. He has his friend Petruchio, who has just arrived from Verona, introduce him as a music teacher; however all the poor music teacher gets for his pains is a lute wrapped around his neck at the hands of the fiery Kate. Petruchio, in search of adventure and a rich wife, is easily persuaded by his friend, Hortensio, to undertake the taming of the choleric Kate. He manages finally to turn her into a sweet and loving wife by giving her a dose of her own medicine; when she raves and rants, he follows her example; when she slaps servants, he slaps them, too; and all the time he pretends that she is a gentle creature whom he must protect. The end of the play finds Bianca married to Lucentio, Hortensio married to his widow, and Kate tamed. The play was studied by the 78 students in the three junior literature classes. Costumes were designed and made by the members of these classes, and actors were drawn from these groups also. The Shrew is the second in a series of Shakespearean plays to be presented by succeeding junior classes as classic projects. The present senior class, when they were juniors, presented Romeo and Juliet. 46 THE 1937 (I (te ICast lllill aitit (Eeatament of the (Class of U13F Know all men by these presents, that, whereas, the eminent class of 1937 being about to be graduated from Casey Township High School; Whereas, it is deemed fitting and proper that the above aforesaid class leave its alma mater and the remaining conglomerate mass of perverse and amorous human beings—popularly called juniors, sophomores, and freshmen—such blessings, material and otherwise (mostly otherwise) as have been enjoyed by the eminent class in the past; We, the members of the class of 1937, being of sound mind and body, and considering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, do hereby depose and swear that this is our last will and testament, uttered, testified, and inscribed this twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-Seven.

A slight upset in the routine of the day was caused when some of the aeronautics students of the Casey campus stole away a couple of airplanes from the hangars. The sudden appearance of airplanes overhead on Saturday caused the horses in the riding academy to stampede. Their stampeding caused the children in the training school in connection with Casey High School to cry. Their crying caused their mammas and papas to go find their offspring.

(Continued on Page 59) FLAME Senior CStitoance Conference For two years Casey Township High School has been honored by being chosen to conduct the Annual Senior Conference sponsored by the Eastern Illinois School Masters' Club. This conference was held in Casey first in April, 1935, and again in April, 1936. It was one of the very few conferences of its kind to be held in Illinois as well as in the United States. The program, as conducted and managed by Casey, pioneered in the field of educational and vocational guidance. This conference brought together nearly 800 seniors of Eastern Illinois in 1935 and nearly 1000 seniors in 1936 for a one-day meeting. The program consisted of six class periods: two assemblies, and four class hours for each senior attending. The faculty for the day was composed of leading professors in the various fields of college study from the University of Illinois and Eastern Illinois State Teachers' College. The success of this large project in group guidance was so pronounced that the movement has spread, covering the entire state and extending to other states. The third annual conference has been called for April 5, 1937, at Casey. More than 1000 seniors are expected to be in attendance at this time. Unratinnal (Vjutitauce :)Jrogrant One of the important innovations of Casey Township High School during the school year of 1936-37 was the organization of a vocational guidance department. Prior to this time work of a guidance nature had been handled through the office of our principal, I. B. Buckler. This year the duties of vocational director and counselor were delegated to Veairnell White, teacher of commercial subjects. He has done admirable work in laying the foundations of a program which it is hoped will prove of great value to the students in future years. The ultimate aim of our guidance program is to help and direct students toward a more efficient and intelligent selection of school work and a life vocation. It is an attempt to make more profitable the years spent in high school and college and to eliminate the wasted time which frequently follows graduation. The initial step in the program was the inclusion in the curriculum of study of a course in occupations.'' This course is an exploratory course for students desiring information relative to the many occupations in the field of work. Outstanding among the activities in the guidance program this year were the various group conferences for the separate classes. During the period of these conferences the students were addressed by Mr. Buckler and Mr. White on the subject of the establishment of the guidance service and the need for a department of this kind. At each meeting a copy of Career Notes was given to each student. This little booklet prepared by Mr. White contained appropriate and interesting material on the problems of the students and their choice of a future occupation. A major event in the program was the Eastern Illinois Senior Guidance Conference conducted at Casey April 5. This was attended by seniors from schools of this area. Many boys and girls have made use of the facilities offered through the guidance department. Several former students returned to obtain information relative to occupational training. The results will be gratifying to all if some of the future men and women of our community have been helped to make their lives more enjoyable and profitable, if they have been aided in finding what may prove to be their niche in the work of the world. . � I 54 THE 1937 Casco Hicjl] IHsitcit HUi -Katinnal 31nspcdnrs The rapid growth of high school enrollment in the United States from about 519,000 pupils in 1900 to about 6,100,000 pupils in 1935 has contributed to a loosely organized education system. Educators have long recognized the need for a qualitative basis for evaluating secondary schools. Society must measure the efficiency of the secondary school by investigating the outcomes of that school, by examining the types of individuals who are graduated, end by investigating its influence on the community. In 1928 the National Committee on Research in Secondary Education proposed an investigation of secondary schools in the United Slates. In 1933 a conference was held in Washington which provided for the Committee for the Cooperative Study of Secondary Schools to be composed of representatives from the six regional associations. The purpose of the committee is to unify and co-ordinate educational aims by setting up qualitative criteria as far as possible and to encourage good secondary schools to become better ones. Last year two hundred schools were selected constituting a cross section of high schools in all parts of the country. Casey Township High School was one of the twelve named from Illinois and it was studied bv the committee from September, 1936, to June, 1937. The investigating included a statement of definitely recognized purposes of the school concerning obligation to pupils and to the community as a whole; a report concerning the number of pupils, training received by teachers, and educational experiments carried on; a personal investigation by a committee who visited C. T. H. S. in April and formulated judgments as to the degree to which the stated purposes of the school are being achieved. The faculty and students of C. T. H, S. have taken a great deal of pride in cooperating with the National Committee and have received a great deal of inspiration from the investigation. Stubents lum SclumI for a lllcck When on February 17, 1937, Principal J. B. Buckler left for New Orleans to attend the meetings of the N. E. A. held in that city, he left the administration of the school in the hands of the student body. Geneva Biggs, president of the Student Council, and William Staley, vice-president, were in charge of the office. A faculty senate made up of Miss Maurine Johnson, J. E. Rose, and E. C. Gordon acted as advisers to the student executives. The main object of this plan was to let the students shoulder the responsibility of managing student af- fairs and observe the daily routine of the office of administrator. The plan proved to be highly satisfactory. The trend of school life moved on in the same manner; the students realized their responsibility, and each one assumed his part of the task, making this student week a success. Since the primary objective of the high school is to train young people to be responsible citizens in a democratic state, the opportunity to exercise responsibility as presented in Casey High School should develop the student body into a dependable group of citizens. FLAME lltsnal tiuiratiou Department The present equipment of the visual education department of Casey High School was purchased in 1935. It consists of a Bell and Howell sound on film projector, which has a microphone attachment so that it can be used as a public address system; a slide projector, or stere-opticon: a film strip projector; forty-seven film strips; approximately two hundred glass lantern s'ides; and equipment for making all types of these slides. Visual material of the projector type is an educational aid that is developing rapidly and is an important factor in the educational set up. Many experiments which have been conducted have proved that, properly used, visual aids will increase the learning process materially. It has been proved that not only present learning is more complete but also that learning acquired visually is retained longer. Visual education is now past the experimental stage and each year finer visual aids are being produced. Until recently the type of visual material available was limited and of very poor quality. This was true particularly of motion picture films. Fortunately that day is past, and at the present time certain companies working in conjunction with educators are producing films, both sound ond silent, wholly for educational purposes. Many of the best films being produced at the present time are sound films being made under the direction of the University of Chicago, and as time goes on the number of sound films will increase. For this reason we are fortunate that our projector is equipped for sound. The film strip projector uses small single frame pictures which are on a thirty-five millimeter film. On each strip of film are from ten to one hundred pictures on some general subject. There is a great deal of this material available particularly in agriculture and home economics. The glass slide projector uses transparent glass slides; these are projected on a screen, the wall, or blackboard. There is a vast amount of material of this type available and in addition it is possible for the teachers and students to make slides of all types. Anything that can be photographed can be made into a slide. This year some photographic slides were prepared from scenes taken at the Lincoln Park near Charleston, at New Salem State Park, which will be used by the history depaitment. Some slides made from pictures taken in Italy and Sicily were made for the Latin department. In addition to these, numerous etched glass, cellophane, and other types of slides are made. Of the hundred slides owned by the high school, about sixty of them are home made. That good use is being made of the visual aid material is attested by the fact that this year approximately one hundred and seventy-five reels of film were used, thirty-five sets of slides were shown, not to mention the slides and film strips of our own that were used. As the years go by the department should continue to grow as each year new materials are added. Looking to the future, we see the need for several pieces of equipment to round out completely the department. These are an opaque projector for the projection of opaque pictures and printed matter; a mi-croprojector for projection of microscopic slides; a moving picture camera for the taking of moving pictures of school life, experiments, and projects carried on; a small thirty-five millimeter camera for the making of our own film strips and for copying work; and a well organized file of mounted pictures taken from magazines, books, and papers, which have a permanent value. 58 THE 1937 aiAIYU Ixcntcbial Waiting The skill of comprehensive reading is a basic tool to be used throughout the educative process. The student at any level of his schooling finds it essential to the obtaining of facts and ideas from printed sources. The adult, having left the school, may continue the learning process as he shares through reading the experience of others. Formerly only the elementary school endeavored to develop the reading skill. Now the secondary school would increase the skill to bring higher efficiency to the study of all subjects. The high school, informed by its testing program and observations, knows that many of its students lack the degree of reading skill essential to the mastery of the high school subjects. For them Casey Township High School' has established remedial reading to give them the tool by which they may progress. In special classes of four or five we provide for them activities which are designed to improve skill in comprehensive reading. What are the elements of comprehensive reading in which we train students? We hope to enlarge vocabularies, because their extent determines the reader's comprehension; for is it not necessary to know the meaning of words in order to understand sentences and paragraphs? Some read so slowly that they can not possibly do the needed amount in the limited time. For them exercises to increase speed are helpful. Others read rapidly but carelessly, getting incorrect impressions. These we train to observe every small detail of a word or sentence in order that the correct meaning may be found. To some all ideas are of equal value. Yet in reading, as in all life activities, the most important must be recognized and separated from those of lesser importance. Hence we hunt for the main clause of a sentence and the chief sentence of a paragraph. We outline to find the framework upon which the author builds his composition. Activities performed for a purpose are most useful. We seek answers to questions considered before reading. At other times we read material, then answer questions to test the efficiency of reading. Above all, habits of concentration help to accomplish any task, especially that of getting thought from writings. We memorize poetry to discipline the mind in concentration and holding to ideas. Thus, our remedial reading program tests the student to discover his difficulties, then teaches him to overcome them; all this for the purpose of giving him a better tool by means of which he may achieve in all subjects and continue his education throughout life.

Casey scored in the third quarter after trailing at the half 6-0. Weaver's educated toe did the trick by converting the extra point into the margin of victory. Bob Wright's injury early in the first quarter hampered the Casey attack; however, Staley carried on with his mighty ground-gaining thrusts. November 21—Robinson (Here) Casey made a comeback in the second half to defeat Robinson 7-6. In the fourth quarter Haddock's 104 yard punt placed Robinson in bad territory and Casey within scoring distance. Then Staley passed to Haddock on the two yard line, Sta- ley carrying the ball over on the next play. Weaver kicked the extra point to win. Thanksgiving—Marshall (There) The Warriors ran all over the frozen Marshall field to beat their rivals 14-0. Fumbles and hard luck prevented the Warriors from scoring two more touchdowns. The boys ended a very successful season. The following players will be graduated in May: Russell Haddock, William Staley, Howard Smith, Everett Queen, Max Weaver, Dale Underwood, Allen Barlow, and Morris Paden. The rest of the boys pictured will be on hand for the 1937 season. At a chili supper given by Coach Rose, Russell Jones was elected captain of the 1937 Warriors.

THE 1937 liasfcctball (Continued Mr. Acker, who has coached the basketball for two years now, has proved a faithful and hard-working coach. The boys with whom he works admire his fair and sportsmanlike attitude and feel that he deserves credit for his patience and perseverance. During tne hardwood season each player on the first team was given an opportunity to act as captain. Just before the District Tournament at Greenup, Russell Haddock, who had been high score man, was chosen honorary captain by the Warriors and served in that capacity the rest of the games. Later the players were given an opportunity to vote on the man who had been the most valuable to his team. Haddock was chosen most valuable player. The March 5 game saw the last appearance in high school basketball of Russ Haddock, Max Weaver, Jimmy McFarling, Bill Staley, and Bill Fuson. It is expected that the 1937-1938 season will find Marion Kilborn, a freshman who did some good work this year; Eugene Galey, a junior; Don Brewer, a sophomore; and Bill Bickler, a junior, wearing the purple and gold jerseys once again. We present here a review of the deeds of the 1936-1937 quintet. Newton Comes to Casey—Dec. 18 Newton 6, Casey 11. This was the lowest scoring game of the season, not because of inability but because it was a real defensive game. Westfield Visits Casey—Dec. 19 Casey 16, Westfield 22. The Warriors lost to Westfield in the second game of the season. They seemed unable to hit the basket. Greenup at Casey—Dec. 22 Greenup 17, Casey 24. The Purple and Gold gladdened the hearts of local fans by ending a three-year domination by Greenup. The whole team played a fine game and de- from Page 31) feated Greenup 24 to 17 for the first time in twelve games. Casey Goes to Robinson—Dec. 25 Robinson 24, Casey 22. Casey lost a tough one to the Robinson boys by two points. The Warriors led at the first quarter 11 to 2, and 17 to 12 at the half. Then the other team got lucky and the game finished in their favor. Casey at Martinsville—Dec. 29 Martinsville 23, Casey 20. The Warriors led until near the end of the game. Then the Martinsville team connected with three quick baskets and won 23-20. Marshall Comes Here—Jan. 8 Casey 27, Marshall 17. The Marshall Lions were easy for the Casey lads; they were defeated by 10 points. Casey Visits Paris—Jan. 9 Paris 23, Casey 18. The Warriors gave Paris more than they had bargained for. It was a close game, Haddock, Weaver, and McFarling sharing the scoring honors with six points each. Warriors at Newton—Jan. 15 Casey 20, Newton 17. The Warriors could not hit their shots and at the half the score was 8-7 in favor of Newton. It was in the last quarter that the real fight took place. In the last two minutes McFarling sank two quick baskets to win by a score of 20 to 17. Robinson at Casey—Jan. 22 Robinson 37, Casey 26. The Robinson forwards went wild, scoring 20 points between them. Casey Takes a Trip to Oblong Jan. 23 Oblong 30, Casey 17. At the end of the first half the Panthers led by a score of 17-13; in the last half they started “potting them and the game finished 30-17.

When the camera's in place, And it's trained on her face, She runs and I can't reach her. There are some freshmen from Casey People say they are a bit crazy But as onward they ao A lot smarter they 'll grow Then people'll know they're from Casey. When initiation day comes by Freshies all look at the sky Everyone begins to pray That he won't have to pay But somehow he never gets by. I'd ha'e to be as dumb as teachers can be.

FLAME (Lmmtaments Our spacious gymnasium was the scene of three outstanding basketball tournaments during the 1937 season. The Eastern Illinois League event was held here February 4, 5, and 6. The State Regional Tournament was played March 4, 5, 6, and the State Sectional classic was staged on our court March 10, 11, '12, and 13. Oblong was victorious in the Eastern Illinois, winning from Paris by a 33 to 29 score. Oblong also won the Regional from Paris by another close score, 31-29. The winner of the Sectional Tournament was Van-dalia, who defeated Paris by a 30-35 margin. This victory gave the Van-dalia boys the opportunity to go to the State Tournament which was held in Urbana March 18, 19, and 20. We are always happy to be hosts at these tournaments. Our gymnasium, which seats 3,000 fans, provides ample space for the many spectators who follow their teams. Our loud speaking system is used to advantage to give an account of the game to fans who may not understand rulings. These tournaments give our student body and townspeople a chance to exhibit a fine type of hospitality and sportsmanship. Visiting teams and their followers were well pleased with the courtesies we extended to them and all are anxious to return for another season. (I rack The track team started their 1937 season with the greatest enthusiasm that has been shown in the sport here in years. The fact that almost fifty-five boys reported for the team speaks well for their interest in the sport. As most of last year's stars were lost by graduation, Coach Gene Rose was confronted with the task of building a new team and working with green material. The boys worked hard and the season proved quite satisfactory. Those who reported for the squad were Everett Queen, Howard Smith, Bernard Stephenson, Leonard Mc-Crory, Willard McCrory, Marion Shawver, Lowell Laymon, Bill Staley, Leon Taylor, Lamont Dehl, Lee Roy Lacey, James Walters, and Allen Barlow. 3. untl yiau Hay A Play Day was sponsored by Casey Township High School on Saturday morning, April 17.
