THE 1938 ACT III — Scene I Time: September 6, 1937, to June 3, 1938. 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. Act IV—The last act, will open in September, 1938. Chris says: Anyone seen a float going my way (I. o. b. S2.S0)?

30 THE 1938 SOPHOMORES Christopher insists: “Of all my family. I like myself best. 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.
