FLAME 19 juniors Thomas, Albert Hensiek, Leonal Elliott, and 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.

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.
