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.

SENIOR GUIDANCE CONFERENCE Realizing the need of the seniors for knowledge and advice on various professional and vocational fields, as well as where and how to gain preparation for them, Mr. Buckler brought before the School Masters' Club of Eastern Illinois a resolution providing for an annual Senior Guidance Conference. They approved the plan and selected Mr. Buckler to manage such a conference. The University of Illinois promised complete co-operation. That was five years ago. Every year since then the Senior Guidance Conference has been held in Casey. It was held April third this year. The University of Illinois and Eastern Illinois State Teachers College provide speakers and instructors for the meeting. Seniors have an opportunity to hear discussion and advice on a wide selection of subjects. The information they receive at these meetings is designed to be helpful to students undecided about future education or vocational possibilities. Lectures, catalogs and pamphlets, and talks with other seniors make this annual meeting of real value to all who attend. Truly much has been gained through these conferences; needed information is secured; students meet and talk with others their own age and have a jolly time doing it. Mr. Veairnell White of the Casey faculty assists Mr. Buckler in managing and directing these highly successful senior projects. 19 3 9 Page Thirteen
