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.

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.
