' CASEY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL CASEY...................ILLINOIS Chris Casey says: There are old flames and new flames, but this is the FLAME for Volume XIV Published By THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1938 FOREWORD We, the staff, present this FLAME of '38 as the fourteenth written chapter in the history of our high school. It is our hope that in so doing we leave not a mere history but a living record of our class and of the school year. In accordance with the school's traditional desire for betterment, we have tried to present a FLAME even more acceptable than those that have gone before. Faced with such an objective, we have done all in our poor power to attain our goal. You are the judge of our success. We hope that regardless of your verdict you enjoy this, the FLAME of 1938. Chris Casey cries: “Sprowls' got nothin? on me. Chris says: “You gotta be a football horol Chris states: My pappy was an Indian, ciy mammy was a squaw. WE DEDICATE THIS 1938 FLAME TO The Warriors of Casey High. For many years the athletic teams of Casey have represented us on field and floor. At times they have won, at times lost, but always they have kept the indomitable fighting spirit which has christened them Warriors. To this spirit, rather than to individuals, have we dedicated this yearbook. It is a just thing, for to those Warriors of the past and present has gone the task of representing our school. They have done their job well and so we honor them, adding our earnest hope that the Warriors of the future will turn to the Warriors of today and yesterday and obtain from them the spirit of Casey High. 4 THE 1938 WINNERS OF THE HARRIS TROPHY Presented nearly a decade ago by Dr. C.

Glistening drops of dew swayed on tender plants beneath the protection of the towering oaks. All was serene. The great oak and the tender plant each held its arms upward to the heavens above. As I traveled on, the wind in the tree tops began to stir. No longer did the sunbeams flit across my face. With every darkening moment and the rumbling thunder evidences of the approaching storm grew greater. I sought protection beneath the gnarled roots of a mighty monarch, whose fingers extended out to form a cave made to my choosing. From this vantage point I could watch the storm as it progressed through the forest. I could see each tree as it responded to the pressure of a great storm, as it strained at its bearings. I noted with dismay a tree to the right whose extended branches and hardy trunk had crashed to the ground—a tree that had appeared but a moment before to be withstanding the wind and rain so well. Another nearby whose slight frame seemed so frail was bending nearly to the ground with each heavy gust but returning proudly upright when the strain had eased. Why was this? I asked myself when I could at last leave my refuge. I sought the answer from the trees themselves. Invariably the trees that broke before the storm had either an inward decay or poor root growth. Those that bent to the storm but returned erect with uplifted branches to the sunlight were sound in every fiber. They had a grip upon the mother soil that was deep and far reaching. Size did not matter. Inward structure and foundation were the determining factors as to whether the trees that bent to the storm broke or returned upright to their glorious sunlight. J.

BOARD OF EDUCATION The Casey Township High School Board of Education has managed school affairs with their customary efficiency, and their considerate regulation is in a great part responsible for the good name enjoyed by this high school among neighboring towns. The board this year is composed of Claude McKean, president; Harry Partlow, secretary; Harry Brown, Herbert McCrory, W. J, Goben, E. O. Todd, and Harry Eumont. The main objective of the board for 1937-1938 was to finish modernizing the library. This objective has been fully accomplished with a new card catalogue, new books, and entire new cataloguing. The board also aided in sponsoring the BROADCASTER, making possible the special editions. In addition to the work on the library the board has given attention to improving the heating plant by renovating completely the radiation in the two buildings. The board, which in the past has pioneered in visual aid, vocational guidance, and modern equipment, is looking forward to additional vocational courses. This shows our board to be one of the most progressive in this part of the state for advanced vocational training is an innovation of recent years. We are confident that our board will continue its tradition of well-founded progress and that the school will continue to appreciate, as we appreciate, the generosity and capable management of these men. 10 THE 1938 FACULTY DIRECTORY Left to right: Tingley, Harris, White, Hartman, Gordon, Watts, Newlin, Huntington, Rawlinson.

B. Buckler. Second Row: William Weaver, Lamont Dehl, Clayton Robey, Leona Short, Rosemary Weigel, Herschel Collins, LaVonne Chrysler, Marjorie Watt, Eugene Johnson. The Student Council for 1937-1938 has been one of the most active in the history of Casey High. The Council was composed of officers from the four classes and presided over by the senior officers. The officers of the Council were president, Bernard Forester; vice-president, Jim Giffin; secretary and treasurer, La Vonne Chrysler. This governing body with the help of their adviser, Miss Maurine Johnson, did many beneficial things for the student body. For instance, it planned an employment agency to be used by the students to find odd jobs and after school and Saturday work. Veairnell White became the adviser for this project. Due to his enthusiastic work, this agency was made an active part of our school program this year. The committee for this work was Chairman Eugene Johnson, Marjorie Watt, Leona Short, Lamont Dehl, and Rosemary Weigel. The committee which had the responsibility of planning all assemblies was Jim Giffin, chairman; Eugene Johnson, Bill Weaver, Rosemary Weigel, Mary Huntington (adviser). The recreation committee to sell tickets for lyceums, keep dates for parties separate, and such, were Herschel Collins, chairman, Marjorie Watt, Jim Giffin, Ginger Vail, and Clayton Robey. The entire Student Council had charge of the Christmas decoration with Rosemary Weigel as chairman. Chris the senior says: Just watch our smoke. 14 THE 19 3 8 Leon W. Williams Junior Class Play 3.

Scene: Casey Township High School. 28 JUNIORS The curtain opened for Act III, Scene I, upon sixty boys and girls tripping up the stairs as juniors. To become organized they held a class meeting at the first of the year, getting in touch with the advisers, Miss Mary Huntington and Gene Gordon, and becoming acquainted with the newly elected class officers: president, Eugene Johnson; vice president, Herschel Collins; secretary and treasurer, Marjorie Watt. The big events of the year were the junior class play and the annual junior-senior banquet. SCENE II Though only Ruth Huddleston and Betty Jane Daniel reached the high-honor roll, several earned honors: Eileen Chapman, Modena Jeffers, Eugene Johnson, Max Meeker, Mary Shick, Ruth Steward, Marjorie Watt, and Bemiece Watts. In typing Betty Daniel was outstanding. In basketball Herman Gardner and Brewer made first team and several more were quite valuable to second team: Eugene Johnson, Mac Reiss, Eugene McCrory, Ben Bertram, and Dale Bell. On the football field, Robert York, Eugene Johnson, Bob Wright, Dale Bell and Ben Bertram showed good play. There were several good prospects for future farmers from the junior class in F. F. A. Club. Several girls of the class were athletic-minded, being members of G. A. A. The Pep Club owes its origin to two members of the junior class, Herschel Collins and Eugene Johnson. The class was also well represented in Home Ec. Club, French Club and Latin Club. Herschel Collins and Junior Hartman were cadets on the FLAME staff. Eugene Johnson, Junior Hartman, Gusta Moulding, Maude Orndorff, Lucille Roberts, Herschel Collins, Paul Robey, Lois Tyhurst, Bob Arney, and Dale Bell were on BROADCASTER staff.

On Monday morning, September 6, 1937, 73 of us now experienced, sophisticated sophomores again entered the doors of old Casey High ready for another school term. We brought with us the wisdom gained from having been present here the past year, during which time our class was guided by the following class officers: president, Betty McCash; vice-president, Lamont Dehl; secretary-treasurer, Lorene Ping. At our first club meeting this year, the following were elected as new class officers: president, William Earl Weaver; vice-president, Lamont Dehl; secretary-treasurer, Clayton Robey. Our school year got into swing with the all-school party. With the memories of our past initiation fresh in our minds, we enjoyed the fact that we were able to participate in the initiation of the lowly freshmen. The sophomore class was well represented in sports. With the opening of the football season the following were on the squad: Lamont Dehl, Marion Kilborn, Charles Jacobs, Clayton Robey, Charles Ulrey, and Junior Daughhetee. Merle Snider, Marion Kilborn, Dale Small, Charles Ulrey, Clayton Robey and Howard McSchooler represented us on the basketball squad. The sophomores have also found their place in the music department. There were many sophomore band members, and the mixed chorus also had its sophomore members. After a happy and profitable year we feel that we are now able to join the ranks of upperclassmen of Casey High. Miss Kathryn Hartman was our only adviser this year. She did the work of two people very nicely. 31 w —Dale Small, Mary Mc-Kinzie, Carolyn Matheny, Mary Minesinqer, EaV erne Roberts, Cbartes Simpson.

In September we freshmen elected our officers: president, Ginger Vail; vice-president, Rosemary Weigel; and secretary-treasurer, Leona Short. At the all-school party we sang Casey Warriors and performed the stunts assigned to us. We had a tramp party in October, with a bonfire at the edge of the athletic field. In the parade preceding the Armistice Day game with Martinsville, we took second prize. Our float represented a bright green football field. At one goal post stood a Casey Warrior with a club raised above a heap of Martinsville players, whom he had just beaten. A large escort of marchers and riders on gaily decorated bicycles cheered lustily. In the various school activities we took our part with fifteen boys out for football, eleven boys for basketball, thirteen freshmen in the band, twenty-one girls belonging to G. A. A., fifteen members of the chorus, and twenty in the operetta. Several of us also found our way into the F. F. A. and the Pep Club. At the Homecoming game we had two queen's attendants, Eleanor Squier and Lois Swearingen. During Courtesy Week Phyllis Wright talked in the assembly. We gave an assembly play in order to pay for our picture in the FLAME. Bessie Jernigan reached the high honor roll, while Gordan Martin, Hazel Martin, and Beulah Perisho received honors first semester. Miss Helen Harris and K. B. Rawlinson were our advisers.

With the aid of a larger staff, responsible officers, and a capable adviser, the BROADCASTER spread to many interesting, entertaining, and humorous columns of news; however, the serious and practical side of the paper was not forgotten. The BROADCASTER tried a new step in publications by bringing out four special editions. These editions, backed financially by the school, were successful. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Commencement were given a separate edition. Each member of the staff deserves credit. Typists as well as reporters and columnists had their share of work. We are grateful to the BANNER-TIMES and Casey REPORTER for printing our news. STAFF Editor—Jim Giffin. Asst. Editors—Eugene Johnson, Herschel Collins. Business Manager—Junior Hartman.

Through the cooperation of Cumberland and Clark County farm bureaus, nineteen different varieties of soy beans were grown on plots at Casey High School last summer, making possible the study of the variety which grew best in this locality. An all day program was later held for the study of the harvesting and growing of soy beans. Last spring ten boys had pasture projects and the same amount or more will have pasture projects next spring. Well spent efforts were shown in the quality of the hybrid corn shown by twelve of the chapter boys. This year the F. F. A. is giving free to thirty boys enough hybrid corn to plant one acre. When the boys have harvested their crop, prizes will be awarded to the one growing the most corn per acre. Through the advice and cooperation of Adviser Walter Newlin and the University of Illinois, several farmers started pasture projects, which will be studied when a pasture tour is taken next May. Russell Jones is president; Glenn Jones, vice-president; Leonard McCrory, secretary; Willard McCrory, treasurer; Bernard Stephenson, reporter; W. A. Newlin, adviser. MEMBERS I. Barr, L. Laymon, D.

This is the first year that debate has been an accredited subject, as part of the advanced speech course. This led to early preparation on the subject Resolved: That the Several States Should Adopt a Unicameral System of Legislation. After studying basic debate strategy, the class proceeded to study the question; after organizing into teams, they engaged in several practice debates. The class: Bernard Forester and John Kaufmann, first affirmative team; Bill Prather and Eugene Johnson, first negative team; Mary Shick and Clifford Roan, second negative team, went to Hinsdale for a non-decision tourney. They met Proviso, Pontiac, LaGrange, St. Ignatius, Princeton, and Sandwich. The next debate, also non-decision, was held at Olney. Mattoon was host to another non-decision tourney and there Casey, entering three teams, met Newton, Paris, Mattoon, Urbana, Decatur, Vandalia, and Champaign. More practice debates are being scheduled and the team is looking forward to the E. I. League tourney to be held in the latter part of April. The district tournament will also provide an opportunity for further debating. Mrs. Ava Marie Tingley is the sponsor for debate. FLAME 39 G. A. A. The G. A. A. planned a party for each month as follows: September: Kid party for the freshmen to introduce them to the G. A. A. October 31: Hallowe'en party for all G. A. A.'s. December 20: Christmas party for grade school children. The party was given in the old gym which was appropriately decorated. Miss Mary Cochonour, adviser, received a gift from the G. A. A. for her splendid cooperation. January 10: The initiation of new members in the form of a candle light service. February 15: A party for the junior and senior boys by the junior and senior G. A. A. members. March: A party for the football, basketball, and track squads. On March 28, the G. A. A. gave an assembly program, having a question Bee between the boys and girls. April: A play day for various schools in this region. May 20: The annual exhibit program which consisted of dancing and stunts. MEMBERS I. Ault, B. Brown, A. Buckler, V. Beasley, J. Barr, W.

Of the fifty-two members that were present at the first meeting of Inter Nos, ten were elected as officers for the year. The two consuls or presidents were Betty McCash and Herschel Collins. Other officers, in keeping with the Roman political organization, were Virginia Moore, Marjorie Watt, Vaneta Whitney, Pauline Wright, Norma Greever, Pauline Cummins, Maxine Lee, and Lamont Dehl. Inter Nos has gone modern in having the meetings in the spacious old gym, a comfortable change from the crowded agriculture room. Very modern also was the spaghetti supper at which most of the members got along famously except for the fact that it was hard to get the spaghetti wound around their forks very fast. Another event featuring the careful planning of the officers was the meeting held during Saturnalia, an ancient Roman holiday similar to our Christmas. However, the outstanding event of the year was the annual Roman banquet. The club members took themselves back to ancient times and customs, and feasted royally at the banquet much the same as the Romans used to do. The Latin I students, dressed as slaves, served a Roman menu to the other members, who were wearing long, flowing togas. MEMBERS N. Greever, V. Moore. L. Dehl, B. Arney, B. Collins. B Forester, J.

Jim Giffin was named president, Eugene Johnson, vice president, Sybil Watt, secretary and treasurer. Refreshments were served at each meeting by Ruby Part-low, Wanetia Perisho, and Maxine Davidson, who were the foods committee. For entertainment we saw several good movies which were shown to us in the moving picture room. At our second meeting on November 8, we saw Glimpses of Paris and Versailles. Later at our February 28 meeting we had film strips of Bordeaux and Paris. Our fourth meeting on April 7 gave us Glimpses of French Country Life. For our fifth meeting on May 9, we had a picnic. This year our French Club float won fourth prize in the parade held on November 11. The float represented the guillotining of Martinsville, our rival in the Armistice game. On December 15, we held our French banquet. Our theme was the 1937 French Exposition. An Eiffel Tower, constructed by Charles Harthan and Eugene Anderson, was erected in the center of the room and flags of all the countries were hung around it. On the walls were drawings made by Marjorie Watson and Junior Hartman of some buildings seen at the Exposition. MEMBERS J. Giffin, C. Harthan, W. Perisho, V. Beasley, M. Daughhetee, M. Speakman, S.

FLAME 43 The Casey Township High School Band under the able direction of J. O. Hawkins was unfortunate this year in having a smaller membership than it has had for several years. A beautiful trophy presented by R. N. Brown, jeweler of Casey, added to the determination of many of the band members to do better work. On it will be engraved the name of the outstanding musician of each year. It has been said that this year's marching band was unusually fine. They marched at football games and also at community functions. As usual we have played for football and basketball games, and other school activities. One of the greatest undertakings of the band was playing at the Eastern Illinois Tournament, for which a 100 different numbers were used. The state required number for 1938 is The Wanderer's Call by Guentzel; the selected overture, Spiritual Rivers by Gault; and the opening march, Colorado by G. E. Holmes. Another bassoon, sousaphone, bass clarinet, and alto clarinet were added in 1937-1938. MEMBERS M. Kilborn, G. Havens. E. Squier, V. Whitney, V. Youngman, C. Newlin, B. Watts, A. Buckler, M.

BAND Chris and Herb agree: The music goes down, around, and comes out here. THE 1938 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Chris and the gals sing: How could you treat a poor maiden sol” Interest in choral work in Casey High School becomes greater from year to year. More students are sharing the privilege and enjoyment of singing good music. The organization last year of the Illinois State Vocal Association has given new impetus to all the vocal groups of our school. The voices are classified into first soprano, second soprano, and alto, with about an equal number of singers on each part. In order for a girl to be eligible for the glee club, her voice must be musical. It must not have a noticeable tremelo or a tendency to sharp or flat. A certain amount of musicianship, such as natural rhythm and a feeling for melody is desired. This group will take part in the spring concert given by the vocal groups of our school. It will enter the county contest, the E. I. League Contest and also the district contest at Olney. The operetta, In Old St. Louis, presented this year gave experience in singing and stage presence to about sixty students of Casey High School. The members of the Girls' Chorus were among the most active in the production. MEMBERS B. Vail, R. Thompson, M. Kilborn. G. Havens, E. Kite, B. McCash, V Moore, M Buckler, A. Plunkett, N. LeMay. B.

During the past few years Mr. Hawkins has given his entire time to the Mixed Chorus and Girls' Glee Club, but this year he has reorganized the Boys' Glee Club. This group also sings with the Mixed Chorus which has been doing such nice work throughout the past few years. The boys sing four part harmony in the Boys' Glee Club and sing two part harmony in the Mixed Chorus. A grand rehearsal is held each Monday of the Mixed Chorus in which the boys sing, and on each Tuesday and Thursday a meeting of the Boys' Glee Club is held. The boys as yet have not appeared much in public except for assemblies, but will do so before long. They are working on such numbers as The Big Corral and Gaily The Troubadour. The boys who make up the group are as follows: first tenors, Bill Weaver, Bill McDaniel, Dannie Leidecker, Doyle Estes, and Charles Harthan; second tenors, Leonal Elliott, Paul Robey, Ralph Brooke, Dale Bell, and Bill Fasig; baritone, Bernard Forester, Leroy Lacey, Dean Plunkett, Paul Bray, Donald Brewer, Bill Prather, and Herbert Lee; bass, Bill Buckler, and Max Meeker. 46 THE 1938 CASEY HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR Several factors contributed to the growth and interest in our High School Choir this year. The rule of the E. I. League prohibiting chorus members from singing in more than one glee club has been changed. This has changed our rehearsal procedure a great deal. The choir is composed of about fifty voices. Rehearsals are held every Monday. During the rehearsals of the Boys' Glee Club and Girls' Chorus some sectional practice is done on the choir music. Also individual and group drill is done every day on vocal technic and choir music. Early in the school year preliminary tryouts were given each member of the choir to determine vocal fitness for the choir, also to give proper classification in the choir. Then in January a final voice testing was again done and the following data on each voice made—range, blend, breath control, tremelo quality and singer's dependability. Our choir made two church appearances early in the year singing Break Forth O'Beauteous Heavenly Light'' — Bach, Listen to the Lambs''—Dett, and Today There is Ringing — Christiansen. MEMBERS B.

Betty Chenoweth played Mrs. Cagle, a rough talking and blustery old woman, who had a heart after all. Rufe Cagle, played by Jim Giffin, was drafted in the war much to the anger of his mother who thought it was a government feud. Emmy, Rufe's sweetheart, was played by La Vonne Chrysler. Pap Todd, Emmy's pa, was Junior Law, who informed everybody that he fit in '63. Carl Cohoon was Bud, Emmy's brother. Bud was a little queer in the head. Russell Jones was Sheriff Weeks. Sheriff Weeks was a pretty important man according to Sheriff Weeks. Bernard Forester was a deserter from the army. The play was coached by Ava Marie Tingley. Chris wants to know: “Didja bring yer own tobaccy? 48 THE 1938 OPER- ETTA IN OLD ST. LOUIS In Old St. Louis ' with Herbert Lee, Marilyn Smith, Vaneta Whitney, and Dale Bell in the leads, was staged in December. This show, based on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, carried a large cast and was ably directed by J. O. Hawkins, Ava Marie Tingley, and Mary Cochonour. TAMING OF THE SHREW Under the direction of A. B. Ives the class of 1938, when they were juniors, presented Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. Emma Belle Lemley played the fiery Kate and Jim Giffin gave a commendable performance as Petruchio. The large cast presented the farce in true Shakespearean costumes and setting. JUNIOR PLAY OF '37 FLAME “THE TIGHTWAD Presented By The Juniors With Eugene Johnson, junior class president, and Marjorie Watt, class secretary-treasurer, in the leading roles, the juniors presented on April 22, a three-act comedy, “The Tightwad, by Robert Keith.

T. H. S. started out to make its first year the best. This club was an inspirational idea given to us and worked out by Herschel Collins and Eugene Johnson. The idea of the club is to support all clubs, plays, classes, and contests entered by the high school. First on the program was the election of officers: president; Eugene Johnson; vice-president, Herschel Collins; secretary and treasurer, Alice Buckler. Chris yolls: You make the basket, we'll make the noise. The constitution was drawn up. Two of the most important parts of the constitution are that every member of the Pep Club is to support all athletic events, contests, and all other school activities as much as possible, the second insists upon good sportsmanship. In order to try to increase the amount of pep and enthusiasm the club bought Warrior caps, pennants, flash cards, and megaphones to help make the old school zip. It is impossible to list the membership since practically every student and faculty member belongs to this club.

(Editor's Note: In a heart to heart talk with Casey's football coach, Gene Rose, he revealed to us the following facts about the season of '37). Question: In view of experience and material did we have a successful season? Answer: Yes. Q. Who were seniors and who will be back for next season? A. Jones, Hensiek, Law, both Elliotts, Anderson, Shawver, McDaniel, Stephenson, W. McCrory, L. McCrory, Greever, and Lee carried the burden of the season, while Bell, Bill Bertram, Wright, Fasig, Kilborn, Ulrey, Robey, Jacobs, Dehl, Johnson, and Gardner are promising prospects for the '38 season. Q. How did Casey's players compare in size with opposing teams? A. We averaged 143 pounds, and in all the games but the Martinsville and Marshall game we were outweighed on the average of 25 pounds to the man. Q. To what factor do you contribute the Casey defeats, the wins over Palestine and Marshall, and the tie with Martinsville? A. The Mattoon defeat was responsible for a greater part of our poor showing throughout the year. That defeat handed by a superior team from a much larger school not only wrecked our morale for almost the entire season, but we also Around the C from right to left: Russell Jones, Willard McCrory, Herbert Lee, Lamont Dehl, Dale Bell, Bill Bertram, Bill McDaniel, Leonal Elliott, Marion Kilbom, Eugene Anderson, Bernard Stephenson, Albert Hensiek. Marion Shawver, Leon Elliott, Junior Law. lost Noel Greever and Bob Wright in this game on account of injuries. In most of the games we lost it was simply the case of being outclassed by'our opponents. When that situation exists, there is not much you can say or do about it. In the Palestine game we won by good head work and superior soeed, although we were outweighed 40 pounds to the man. The tie game with Martinsville was due to the fact that both teams had a line of about the same ability. Neither backfield could make much headway against the stubborn defense. In the Marshall game every boy on the team played the game of his life. Since we handed Marshall such a crushing defeat, everyone considers the season a huge success. 54 THE 1938 BASKETBALL Chris keeps on bragging: And I guess we kept it (the goat).

The questions we asked and the answers we received follow.) Question: How many seniors were there on the squad and who will be back next year? Answer: There were four seniors on the squad this year. Those who will be back next year and on whom we will depend are Brewer, Kilborn, Gardner, Small, Snider, Ulrey, Bob Wright (possibly), and Robey. Besides these there will be a number of freshmen and sophomore boys that should help the squad. Q. In view of the experience and material did we have a successful season? A. Yes, the boys did better than I thought they would in view of fact that it was necessary to build a new team. The boys also lacked height. Q. How did size and speed compare with opposing teams? A. We were not very large this year and we had just average speed. We had to depend on accurate shooting after we F L A M E 55 Around the C from right to left: Leon Elliott, Eugene Galey, Ben Bertram, Don Brewer, Dale Small, Bill Buckler, Marion Shawver, Harry Gardner, Merle Snider, Marion Kilborn, Bill McDaniel (No picture). have worked the ball under the basket by a series of blocks in our system of play. We developed into a good defensive team after being weak defensively at the first of the season. Q. How did the attitude and spirit compare with that of former years? A. Since this is my first year as basketball coach here, it is a difficult question for me to answer; however, I have been told that the spirit and co-operation of the boys this year is the best that has been seen here in 10 years. 56 THE 1938 GOLF In the ”37 golf season the following boys competed in matches at Charleston but did not place: Don Brewer, Max Weaver, and Leonal Elliott. This year Don Brewer and Leonal Elliott are back and hope to place in the district tournament. TENNIS Casey's entry in the district tennis tournament at Robinson consisted of two doubles teams and one singles player. John Kaufmann and Bob Goble went to the semi-finals. Max Weaver, who played singles, was defeated in his first match but gave a good fight. Don Brewer, Bob Goble, and John Kaufmann are trying to improve their game and bring some titles to Casey High for 1938. TOURNAMENTS COUNTY The annual Clark County Basketball Tournament was held at Martinsville, January 4 and 5. In the first game Casey defeated Martinsville. In the second game Westfield defeated Marshall with ease and went to the finals to battle Casey for the championship. The final score of the Westfield-Marshall game was 29 to 15. E. I. TOURNAMENT The E. I. Tournament of 1938, held at Casey, February 3, 4, 5, and 6, broke all records for crowds, receipts, and quality of teams and play.

The crowds were immense in every session with Friday night holding the record with 3,500 packed and jammed into every available space of the gym to witness some of the finest basketball in the state. The total receipts amounted to $2,283.00, doubling that of 1935. The play of the teams was very good with Hutsonville being the dark horse and going to the finals. Coach Bech's Panthers beat them in the finals. REGIONAL The Regional Basketball Tournament was held at Casey, March 3, 4, and 5. Casey was defeated by Oblong in the first round of play. Oblong went to the finals and defeated Robinson. In the sectional at Mattoon, Oblong lost to Paris and Paris was the representative from our section to the state tournament at Urbana, placing third. FLAME 57 BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Since the first of this year the boys enrolled in physical education at C. T. H. S. have been engaged in outdoor and indoor sports. Outdoor sports which they learned were touch football, soccer, German ball, and punch ball. The indoor sports used mainly during the second semester were basketball, calisthenics, marching, volleyball, horseshoes, ping pong, tumbling, shuffle-board, softball, tennis, track, badminton, and quoit tennis. It has been the purpose in teaching these sports to feature the angle not only of the player but also that of the spectator. To promote further the healthmanship of our physical education program, all students were required to wear white uniforms. There was also a series of health classes. The classes were taught by K. B. Rawlinson. NOON HOUR PROGRAM To furnish those who stay at school at noon with entertainment, tournaments were outlined and directed by K. B. Rawlinson. In the girls' fall volleyball tournament the team captained by Maxine Davidson and including the following players won: Wanetia Perisho, Marjorie Applegate, Lenna McFarling, Norma Carrell, Margie Glidewell, and Ruby Ratts. Cleda Smith was captain of the defeated team. Mac Reiss defeated Bob Wright to win the boys' horseshoe tournament. The winner of the girls' ping pong tournament was Marjorie Delp. Rhondal Gordon won the boys' free throw contest, making 14 out of 25. Ruby Partlow won the girls' making 13 out of 25. In boys' basketball the team captained by Charles Jacobs was winner. Other members of the team were Junior Hartman, Leroy Lacey, Willard McCrory, Bernard Stephenson, and Gerald Barr. Rosemary Robey won the girls' checker event. Other tournaments were not completed when the material for the FLAME went to the printer. Chris cracks: “There are dumbbells and dumbbells, but I like the dumb belles. THE 1938 Chris gasps: S h o ought to get a hundred and fifty points for this. GIRLS' SPORTS ARCHERY Archery is very popular sport in our program. Some of the best shots out this year were Maxine Davidson and Ruby Partlow with Maxine Lee and Rosemary Weigel ranking next. SOCCER There was a rather short (because of the weather) but peppy soccer season. HIKES The girls have hiked 40 miles. A party was held on one of the hikes with refreshing eats after a tiresome walk. BASEBALL About seventeen girls stayed each evening for baseball. The girls were divided into two teams with Bettie Delp and Marjorie Delp as captains. TENNIS Seventeen girls have come out for tennis. Girls were picked from this group to enter the Eastern Illinois League, which was held at Charleston the last week of May. The county tournament was held the preceding week. DANCING The girls have been learning steps of social dancing. About thirty freshmen and sophomores and twenty-five juniors and seniors have been practicing each evening. Next the girls took up folk and tap dancing which were used in the G. A. A. exhibit in the spring. BASKETBALL There were about thirty girls who stayed each evening. The captains and co-captains of the teams were freshmen—Marjorie Applegate, Cody Hoyt; sophomores—Alta Law, Ruby Moore; juniors—Marjorie Delp, Maxine Davidson; seniors— Sophia Wright, Mary Orrell. A round robin tournament was held and the winning team was honored with a party. March 14 marked the very important event in our program, the Telegraphic Basket Shooting Tournament. Ten of our sharpshooters were entered and made a very good showing with other schools in the state. OFFICERS President......................La Vonne Chrysler Vice President......................Vera Beasley Secretary and Treasurer...............Mary Orrell Chris gargles: “You can lead a freshman to the fountain of learnin'. but you can't make him drink. 60 THE 1938 Chris mourns: ’’They may be outstanding, but I'm way ahead in my field. OUTSTANDING STUDENTS The people on the previous page have been chosen as the most representative students of Casey High for the year 1937-1938. This choice was made by a committee of faculty members on the following basis: only those students with an average of C in every subject for the first semester of 1937-1938 were chosen; points were given for boys' athletics, for drama, for active work on the BROADCASTER, for work on the FLAME staff, for debating, for student council membership, for active membership in any of the clubs (Latin Club, French Club, F. F. A.), for being an outstanding musician, for being on the honor roll, and for exceptional work in class activities. The choice as to who was outstanding in each activity was made by the sponsor of that activity. No freshmen are included in this list. Russell Jones—A ready wit and accomplished sportsman, Cobb'' is a very active senior. Bill Buckler—His gentlemanly attitude conceals a determined scholar and able athlete. Eugene Anderson—The other half of the Harthan-Anderson Corp., he is dependable as he is big. Charles Harthan—In his shrewd and accurate brain the world has found a better mousetrap for which it beats a path to his door. Bernard Forester—Socialite, speaker, singer, and scholar, he gets around all right. La Vonne Chrysler—She leads in everything she tries, and she tries everything. Jim Giffin—The school's Ronald Coleman and journalist A-l, he is more than Mrs. Giffin's little boy. John Kaufmann—His contemporaries call him the master mind, and we agree. Ruth Shawver—Model A-l of the steno deluxe, she majors in commercial. Junior Law—As his nickname indicates Dinger” gets around to about everything. Bill Prather—He always likes to talk and argue. Majoring in speech and music, he should have a future in both. Eugene Johnson—The school's outstanding politico, Doc has an iron in every fire and a float up every sleeve. Herschel Collins—The busy bumblebee looks like a WPA worker compared to this bustling junior. Virginia Moore—An all-arounder, she shines in music, scholarship, classes, and clubs. Betty Jane Daniel—Reigning as queen of the keyboard, she has been catapulted into prominence. Lamont Dehl— Mousey is a super-charged, streamlined edition of a super-sophomore. He leads in football and class work. FLAME 61 MAY IT NEVER BE FORGOTTEN In the fall of 1934, 116 of us entered the wide-open doors of C. T. H. S. as freshmen. With the help of Miss Mary Huntington and Ethard Lee, we elected Bill Buckler, president; Gob Goble, vice president, and Charles Collins, secretary-treasurer. Elmer, a one-act play, was given to take care of the financial problems of the class. The new school year of 1935-1936 found us back. We were sorry to find that a few did not return. Miss Emily Kelley and P. E. Acker were put in charge of us, and we elected Don Henry, president; Herbert Lee, vice-president, and Doris Laymon, secretary-treasurer. In the fall of 1936 seventy-nine juniors reorganized with the assistance of Miss Kelley and A. C. Daugherty. Class officers elected were president, Junior Law; vice-president, Bernard Forester; secretary-treasurer. La Vonne Chrysler. The big event of the year for our junior class was the banquet at which the seniors, faculty, and board were entertained. A hundred and fifty guests were made gay because of the atmosphere of an Italian vineyard and the Hoosier ensemble playing popular and classical music in keeping with the theme. Director A. B. Ives chose for our play, Shakespeare's immortal Taming of the Shrew, which was presented by the class, April 1. Miss Kelley and Veairnell White were appointed class advisers of '38, and Bernard Forester became president, Jim Giffin, vice-president, and La Vonne Chrysler, secretary-treasurer. The senior class played a vital part in the success of Casey's first Homecoming. The Homecoming Queen, Mildred Daugh-hetee, was a member of the class of '38. The football team which won a gallant victory over Marshall was composed largely of seniors, only two underclassmen being in the starting line-up. The football lettermen of the senior class for 1937 were Junior Law, Eugene Anderson, Leonal Elliott, Russell Jones, Leon Elliott, Marion Shawver, Bernard Stephenson, Albert Hensiek, Noel Greever, Bill McDaniel, Herbert Lee, Willard McCrory, and Leonard McCrory. The class play of 1938, under the splendid direction of Mrs. Ava Marie Tingley, was a hill-billy tragedy named Sun-Up. The lead, played by Betty Chenoweth, portrayed the typical life of a mountaineer of South Carolina. We write FINIS to our high school days. Chris grumbles: ’To increase the value of this history course, see D. S. Muzzey.” 62 THE 1938 Chris knows that: Nobody knows Nosey News and Nosey News knows it. NOSEY NEWS (Sees Nothing; Knows All) ROMANCES OF 1937-38 September: As usual the herds of green freshmen fell for the football hero and the sophisticated upperclassmen. At this time Tubal was going strong for the Million Dollar Baby he found in a Five and Ten Cent Store. Gertie was giving Ginger a strong race, however, but at this time Gertie came in a good second. Of course it can be assumed that Betty and Leonal were hitting it off A No. 1. in the autumn of the year. Anyway Mr. Rose called it girlitis. Any list of lovers would be incomplete without mention of that fighting romance of Galey-Townsend. During the early months of the annum Mary Orrell and Bill McDaniel were “that way about each other. It also came about that Theda Jane Robbins tried to sell a Dodge to Lamont Dehl. Norma LeMay hadn't got her vamping started yet in the first month of the school year. Charley Seewer, our now removed junior, was rushing Phyllis Wright to death in September. October: A month of action. Latest reports from the Snyder front showed bombs being dropped from several seniors who wanted to toss their hat in the ring for the lovely little blonde lady. Eugene Johnson was still fooling around with mysterious blondes and Mary Shick was wanting to ride in a certain sedan. The Bernard Forester Column gave way to the Nosey News and were we glad. Berniece Watts and Ruth Crampton were putting ads in the paper for tall, dark, and handsome men. Max Meeker was trying to attract the girls with his new Pontiac while Betty Brown and Juanita Barr were trying to push down the radiators in the halls. The romances of Ginger and Dale, and Betty Daniel and Leonal Elliott were still clicking it off. November and December: Christmas and Thanksgiving. Bonnie Brooks and Norma Greever were using our column to draw some unfortunate boys to their rescue. Katie Biggs was hollering Abie, Abie, at the game, instead of Casey, Casey. The juniors were selling lumber back to the lumber yard after losing in the float parade. The Nosey News had a nice float for the parade also. Eugene Johnson ran a good race for being the Homecoming queen. Bill Emrich and Betty Hunt started on a long drawn out love affair. Poor Ivan! Seen at the Homecoming dance: B. F.; A. H.; M. K.; B. W.; M. W.; T. J. R; M. B; N. L. L.; and M. P. Dean Middleton was clamoring for ten new girls to ride to school with him. Bernard Forester and Buda Coverstone found the dark room interesting. Morris Paden stole Jane Snyder from the senior boys. January: We were told by our snooper that Bob Wright had finally fallen and hard. too. How about it, Berniece? Marguerite Fowler had started attracting considerable attention from the sophisticated senior boys. The juniors enjoy doing the Big Apple at the park after the junior party. Eugene Anderson and Betty Chenoweth seemed to be clicking it off quite well. Leonal Elliott stepped out on Betty. Poor Betty! My, how some people get around! Pete (Hayseed) Shawver was always slicking his hair down about this time of the year. We were told that this was for the benefit of his Hazel Dell girl friend, Evelyn Welker. The author of This N That was considering changing the name of his column to The Vail Column. It so happened that it was just about this time that Gleneva brought a male to school. Maxine Leohr popped up with the bright idea of vamping Noel Greever with that “come hither smile of hers. Wilma Barker went nuts about Pie Strader in mid-January. It is impossible to fathom the romance at the present writing. Theda Robbins and Freeman Biggs were clicking it off while Norma LeMay had found a gold mine in the sky in Lamont Dehl. Seen at the midnight show: E. J.; L. P.; L. D.; R. C.; B. H.; F. B.; P. R.; V. W.; B. P.; N. G. and B. W. It's grand to get stuck. said Gene McConnell, Charley Sewer, Phyllis Wright, and Mary Hardway. We wonder why Mary walked into town! 1 Yes, it's true Berniece Watts, Ruth Crampton, Betty Hunt, Paul Robey, and Don Ornsby were down at Oblong, New Year's morning about three o'clock. Someone had been putting chewing gum on Fish Forester's locker. The Nosey News well FLAME 63 passed its 247th mark. News was coming in thick to the Nosey News box. Thanks to you. As usual Virginia Moore still ranked tops with Darrell Beckwith. Eugene Johnson and Bob Goble were having a contest to find out who has the best chance with Martha Buckler. We wondered whose class ring Ginger Vail was wearing besides Dale's. Reports filtered in from Hoguetown of a dizzy going on down there one night. Lamont Dehl party, we think. Nedra Bishop was carrying segars in her pockets. Alice Buckler and Fish Forester were hitting it off. It couldn't be the beginning, could it? Just then Bob Arney was chasing freshman girls in the new year and the old. Lorene Ping and Hugh McConnell were hitting it off swell in January, but our correspondents have an idea that this is not a substantial romance. What about the old flame? Theda gave up trying to sell a Dodge to her sophomore and concentrated on her junior heartbeat, Freeman. STOCK MARKET REPORTS From The LE MAY EXCHANGE, INC. Last Week First Week Second Week Third In January In February In February Week Hensiek 10 15 3 50 25 32 21 11 Dehl 100 90 95 85 2 9 24 19 Charleston . ... 2 8 10 7 17 14 31 65 Russell Mumford was seen sitting with one barber's grade school daughter at a local basketball game. It finally happened. Yes, we mean the break-up of the Daniel-Elliott romance. Just a friendly little ending. What do you think? Norma Greever was vamping Freeman at this time. My, how news travels! 1 Ginger and Tubal had broken themselves away from each other for a while it seemed. Ginger was going with anyone real handy and Dale was having a nice time out-of-town. It just had to happen some time or another. Cliff Roan and Vaneta Whitney were having a feud at this writing. Poor Clifford, how these women do get on your hands! The stock market crash finally came and what a crash! Hensiek stock went skyrocketing while the Dehl stock hit rock bottom. Martha Buckler was doing all right without her old flame, Eugene Johnson. Toledo for me, said Martha. Ginger Vail finally threw a life saver to Dale Bell. We can't tell how long it will float. THE NOSEY NEWS FORETELLS THE FUTURE For March, April, and May We see it in the crystal, 305 students of Casey High wondering who writes this column. Yes. the Shadow still knows all, but tells everything. We see about 75 sad seniors wishing they were back in good old Casey High. They are all ready to be turned out in the cold, cold world with nothing to turn to. Poor children! Yes, we do feel sorry for you, us too ! 1 Ginger Vail will probably be hangina on to all the boys in school including Tubal, Bill McDaniel, Bill Prather, and goodness knows who else. Herb Lee and Abe Hensiek will probably be paging Norma LeMay. We think that Morris Paden will lose some of his strong hold on Jane Snyder while some senior boys take advantage of this. Berniece Watts will still like to ride in a certain gray Chevie. The following will probably fall under some mystic spell called love: Cobb Jones, Duane Miller, Archie Elliott, Pete Shawver, Bernard Forester. Emma Lemley, Betty Cheno-weth, Sybil Watt, Bob Wright, Dean Middleton, Don Underwood, Paul Robey. Mary Shick, Marjorie Watt. Katie Biggs, and Eleanor Kite. Cobb Jones' column will probably give way to the Nosey News. Bill Prather will probably still like to put his arm around Enid Crouch. Fish Forester will want to be president of the United States after his great work as president of the senior class. Leonal will go with one girl one night and with Betty the next night. Mary Cochonour may be settled down in a little cottage just for two. Maybe we shouldn't say that! ! Eugene Galey and Marjorie Townsend will be clicking it off until they are old and gray headed. Dee Liffick will laugh as loud in April as he did in all the other months. Nedra Bishop will quit carrying cigars in her pockets. Clayton Robey will still hate women and we will quit writing Nosey News. Chris reverberates: “Everything you say will be held against you. 64 THE 1938 Chris gloats: Well. MISS ANDERSON.

Well now, him and his pal was a fishin' down in Cat Fish Creek right out in the sun. So they started to the shade. Well arter a lettle dose o' corn they snoozed a dab and they was woke up by the dad gumdest noise. Well do you know, them fish was a splashin something terrible and when they got down to the creek what do you reckon they saw? Them fish was a jumpin' outen the water an' grabbin' onto the limbs that stuck out over the creek. Because the water was so hot that they'd grab a limb an' holt on until they got cooled off and then they'd drop back in. Waall now, my uncle he ups with his gun and right then an' there he shot the finest mess of catfish you ever saw right out of the trees. And being as the water was so hot he just tossed his string of cats back in and cooked them before he went home. Your'n till E. C. Gordon knows a bigger one. Oley Olsen. Chris says: Mr. Gordon ALMOST caught one this big. AMONG THE DUMBER ONES Mr. Rose: Can't you name even one product of Cuba? Where do you get your sugar?” Leon Williams: From the neighbors mostly. I turned the way I signaled,” said Marguerite Fowler, indignantly after the crash. I know it, retorted Dinger Law, that's what fooled me! For Sale: 1908 car in first crash condition. Duane Miller. Miss Watts: Here is a piece of cake for you, Leonal. Leonal Elliott: Thank you. Ruthie: I like to hear little boys say 'Thank you'. Leonal: Give me a couple pieces more and you can have a grand time. Young man, said the father to the suitor for Rose Crandall's hand, can you support a family? I—I,” stammered Herb Lee meekly, I only wanted Rose. Mr. Buckler: Last time you were here I told you I never wanted to see you here again. Paul Clark: That's what I told Miss Anderson, but she sent me anyway. FLAME 71 Marilyn Smith: How many of your girl friends are in on our little secret? Mildred Daughhetee: Six, all told. Marilyn: They would. Mr. Buckler, the irate customer: Hey, waitress! Have you forgotten me? Modena Stanfield: No sir, you're the man with the pickled pig's feet. Bill Fuson: Gosh, I need five bucks and I don't know where to get it! Ivan Shiels: I'm glad of that! I was afraid you thought you could get it from me. Bob Goble: The horse I was riding wanted to go one way, and I wanted to go another. Bill Buckler: Who won? Bob: He tossed me for it. Judge Law: Do you challenge any of the jury? Bill Prather: I think I can lick that little guy on the end. John Kaufmann: What would go well with my purple and blue socks? Fish Forester: Hip boots! Eugene Anderson: Do you know that between me and Charles Harthan we know all that there is to know? Cliff Roan: Well, then, what's the answer to this problem? Hopvine: That's one that Hap knows. Floyd Smith (customer): This must be an incubator chicken you brought me. Emma Belle (waitress): Why? Smitty: Only a chicken without a mother could be this tough! Helen Leohr (author of letter): I am a very quick worker, I got through with the enclosed article in an hour and thought nothing of it. Ruth Shawver, editor, replying: I got through it in half an hour and thought just the same. Bernard Stephenson: Right smart wind last night, Ed, blew the roof off my barn. Damage your roof any? Ed Underwood: Can't tell, Steve. Hain't found the barn yet. Chris heard Bismarck say: WHO'S playing second fiddle to Nosey News? ' THE 1938 Chris and Miss Watts agree: Of course we want the skirts above two feet. BISMARK SAYS Dogs don't very often get a place in the FLAME but I got past the gate this year. These seniors are pretty tough people and we have to handle them with care. So I won't tell all I know about them, but just a little about each one. Hopvine Anderson—If height had anything to do with looks, I'd be Bob Taylor. (Not Foo). Reny Beasley—I like the out-of-town boys best. (Filling stations preferred).
