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. After a very busy and pleasant year we feel that we have won a place in the hearts of the upperclassmen of Casey High. First Row: Rosemary Stephenson, Wilma Barker. Audrey Fain.

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.
