THE BOARD OF EDUCATION The Casey High School Board of Education is one of the most important departments in the management of the high school. The board of education strives to give and do everything that is best for our school. Last year the board bought many new books, had the library catalogued and furnished many other departments with new equipment. For a small school, Casey High School has one of the most progressive boards of education in this section of Illinois. It attends to many different matters; such as, helping to choose the teaching staff each year, determining improvements and amount to be spent on them, selecting the educational and entertaining lyceum numbers, and fulfilling many other duties vital to good management. The vocational department has been enlarged and improved the last two or three years, thus giving the students who can not afford to go to college a chance to learn some trade and better their knowledge of the business world. Yes, we should thank the board of education for our excellent school, larger gymnasium, and one of the most beautiful campuses in southern Illinois. Page Ten THE FLAM

STUDENT COUNCIL Herschel Collins, Ivan Sidwcll, Eugqne Ratts, Hetty McCash. Funior Hartman, Eugene Johnson, Mattrinc Johnson, adviser; Virginia Moore, J. B. Buckler, principal; Earnout Dehl, Charles Shawver, Ralph Brooke, and Victor Orrell. There is in our high school a group whose duty it is to serve as a connecting rod between C. T. H.S. students and the administration of our school. This group is known as the Student Council. In monthly meetings the Student Council discuss and act upon ideas to improve and benefit Casey High. The highly appreciated discussion groups which have been held this year grew from such a meeting. The Council organized groups which met several times during the year and discussed problems close to the hearts of all students, such as: vocations, social relationships, sportsmanship and personality. The Council plans, manages, and directs all weekly assemblies and lyceum numbers. The Council was responsible for the organization of the 1938-39 Pep Club which now is able to manage itself. Older Boy and Older Girl Conferences, sponsored by this group, urged all other interested students to go along with Council members to these meetings. Yet we have only scratched the surface of the Student Council's duties and services to the school and students. One has but to look around him to see the result of student government in Casey High School. We students realize and appreciate our Council and at the same time know what an honor one receives when he is elected to this group. It means he is respected and looked up to by his classmates, that they trust him to represent them in their government. It also points to the other virtues which he possesses: those of a leader, a thinker, and an organizer. The Student Council was governed, as is the custom, by the senior officers: Eugene Johnson, president; Junior Hartman, vice-president; and Herschel Collins, secretary; and Miss Johnson, adviser.
