THE 1940 FLfldlt CASEY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL CASEY, ILLINOIS ★ ★ ★ Dear old golden rule days! Here's an album of familiar names and faces belonging to the happy family of Casey Township High School. The sixteen of us on the staff have pooled our ideas; here's the result. This all happened back in 1939 A. D. and the early part of the '40's, too. Let's begin! school Days fl HI e m o r y Book by CROWNING OF THE QUEEN, HOMECOMING 1939 t h e Our Journey D o ui n Life’s Path June 1, 1940, has arrived for sixty members of the senior class of Casey Township High School. Halls, classrooms, friends, and teachers have been left behind as the cap and gown of Commencement Day are laid aside. Days known as boyhood and girlhood have slipped away. Approaching manhood and womanhood lie immediately ahead. The kindnesses and security of childhood must give way to the realities of life in the business of making a living. A glimpse down life's pathway will find old friends and parents with you only a short time. People, events, and places will change rapidly—the newnes wETcf wTT onsTanTT DrovTcf T!? challenge to you to put forth the best within you. The way you meet these challenges will be— your life. Maybe he'd prefer a bouquet of lespedeza with a little brome grass mixed in. Anyway our dear teacher is Walter A. Newlin, who has been agriculture instructor in Casey High for the past twenty years. A product of the University of Illinois, World War veteran, Rotarian par excellence, Mr. Newlin has gained fame in agricultural circles for his use of limestone and sweet clover in the treatment of soil. Today the agricultural department serves the community through a seed house maintained for service to farmers in caring for seed. It helps with soil testing and promotes rotation of crops. It encourages new types of farming; such as, developing dairy, soy beans, and permanent pastures. Mr. Newlin has additional fame, for he invented and built a number of the first clover seed harvesters. We are proud to give an aonl h nai wh Ta eiwecMh school an conmiunn wel oo eacne an excellent farmer, a real friend, a proud father —we salute him; for he's the apple of our eye. 3 Phases of Our School Life The People Students, faculty, custodians, visitors—and salesmen. They make up the group of people we see in the Casey Township High School halls every day. Also board members and parents visit us now and then. People come and go, but school goes on forever. The Sports First comes football, then basketball followed by track, tennis, and golf to make up the main athletic program; but we musn't forget the noon-hour activities. These include ping-pong tournaments, horse-shoe events, and checker contests. The girls play their part in this scheme with their complete program of G. A. A. activities. The Pep Club adds zest to the picture. The Social Life There is always a whirl of activities to attend from September till fune. Class parties, dances, football games, lyceums, banquets, basketball games, debates, tournaments, and last of all, Commencement and all that goes with it. Students, faculty, Caseyites, and people from adjoining communities meet in Casey High for these events. ★ ★ ★ The People People . . . men, women, and children . . . come to the Casey High campus, which has been rightly called the center of the community. Whether it's the butcher, the baker, or the candlestick maker; whether it's rich man, poor man, or beggar man, (we'll omit the thief, we hope,) doctor, lawyer, merchant, or chief, he is welcomed here. Immense crowds are brought to the school by the E. I. League and other tournaments, Senior Guidance Day, Exhibit Day, banquets, football and basketball games, plays, and Commencement activities. Always on hand are the eighteen teachers, the many students, the three custodians, visiting friends, and salesmen. The picture opposite shows the Main Building, where many of the people gather. Here is the Place Hie Study Our Three ft’s T. C. Tade Bertha Heetland Mary Cochonour J. O. Hawkins J. E. Rose Ruth Watts AMO, AMAS, AMAT . . OUI, OUI When Caesar crosses the Rubicon, and the gerundive takes its place beside the dative of possession, it's Latin time in room 12, with Miss Emily Kelley holding the floor. The day is gone when the Latin teacher was plain, hard-boiled, and dried-up. With which left-handed compliment to Miss Kelley we pass on to Miss Madeleine Anderson teaching French next door. Here the bonjour's and the oui's are mingled with a background of France and the Frenchmen. Sometimes the They Wield the French isn't so idiomatic as it might be, but the students make up with their hands and shoulders what they lack in vocabulary. NOUNS. VERBS, AND SPEECH Here they are swaying to a swing version of The Congo ; there they are taking dictation planned to help students learn to spell, punctuate, and write legibly. Here we see people reading silently for interpretation ard speed; there the teacher is stress correct usage. A debate rages wilaiy in one room; a play is being practiced in another. Book reports, character sketches, American literature, English literature . . . these make up the work of the English and speech department. Miss Madeleine Anderson, Harlan Lance, and Miss Bertha Heetland are the instructors. A survey has been made of speech defects of the students. Remedial work is being carried on in one section of freshman English. It's a far cry from the day when written work was given first, and sometimes the only place. Today oral English is emphasized though the written certainly has not been forgotten. 1492 (AND BEFORE) . . 1940 Here's the place they learn their dates, states, and fates . . . the dates of wars, the states of the Union, and the fates of many great men. With Miss Emily Kelley in ancient history, }. E. Rose in American history, and K. B. Rawlinson in modern history, civics, and economics, the history department sees that Johnny Casey takes a trip from 'way back when up to today. 1940 12 Hickory Stick of TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS FOUR When x meets y, sometimes the answer is z A divided by b might be “c. In this alphabetical game played daily in the classrooms of Miss Maurine Johnson and Miss Kathryn Hartman, the student learns how to paper walls, how fast a bird flies, how many times he has to go around the track in order to run a mile. He learns that the shortest distance 1 ween two points is a straight line u. -.ugh he doesn't always think so. Two plus two equals four, but sometimes these algebraic and geometric ladies make it five. ATOMS AND MOLECULES If you smell something bad, it's the chemistry department. If you hear a loud crash, someone has dropped a flask. If someone has had an electric shock, it may be the static machine in the physics lab. If some senior is scratching his head over a problem, it might be physics if it isn't math. When Miss Mary Huntington isn't taking care of beakers, flasks, and bunsen burners, she is supervising work in photography like the sepia print we see on the front of this book as well as many snaps on various pages. Mr. Freshman, meet general science, a nibbling course to teach you a little in science and everyday living and help you decide which science you might want to study later. Miss Huntington and Miss Kathryn Hartman are the Edison and Muir of the upper floor. 'Way down in the basement 'mid the snakes and the rats (in cages), Miss Hnouuledge Mary Cochonour does her dissecting of frogs, lizards, and such. The world today recognizes the great place science plays in both the understanding and appreciation of life, and so does Casey High. Mary L. Huntington Harlan E. Lance Walter A. Newlin Virginia Troughton Kathryn Hartman E. C. Gordon 13 FLAME They fire Our friends, Too HAMMER AND SAW The curtain opens upon a scene of great activity. The stage looks like a shop. There is music in the air . . . the buzz of saws, the bang of hammers, the thud of metal striking metal. The characters are the high school boys. The player who holds the spotlight is a man in overalls, who passes from table to table. Here he gives a bit of advice, there a word of praise. He warns this lad to beware of the machinery and suggests that that one correct his design. It's manual training time with Gene Gordon in the leading role. He's third in number of years of service among the faculty. Safe to say, there are few homes in Casey but what bear evidence that some lad in that family took manual training with Mr. Gordon at one time or another. It is amazing to think that the oddshaped pieces of board, jthe screws, bolts, nails, paint, and varnish that we see about his shop will one day be brought together so that Tommy Casey will have a project to display for his proud parents on Exhibit Day. NEEDLES AND PANS When the sisters of the skillet get together in Miss Ruth Watts' foods lab- oratory, you never know what they may be cooking up. This is the place where the girls learn that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. They serve dinners from soup to nuts; at the same time they learn how to keep those schoolgirl “figgers by eating more of the soup and fewer nuts. In clothing, their eyes are on the latest fashions from gay Paree. They were just about to try one of the newest wasp-waist styles when a report came that the wasps were out. With a sigh of relief the girls and their teacher went back to good old American comfort. How to Win a Husband, Keep Him, Furnish a House, Keep It, and Look After Junior : this sums up home management in a nut shell. In addition, the home economics department turns out some mighty fine banquets for the rest of us. DEBITS AND CREDITS To the clicking of keys and the scratching of pencils, that make queer signs and symbols, the commercial department under T. C. Tade and Veairnell White gets off to a merry start. The electric adding machine is a joy to the heart of every bookkeeping student. Courses in business English (Continued on page 76) fit Work a From the time school opens at 8:20 in the morning until the final bell sounds at 3:10, the Casey campus is a place of great activity. Guided by the eighteen faculty members, the three hundred and twenty students follow a scheduled routine of study, recitation, and recreation. These few candid shots taken one day at Casey High give an inside view into the life of John Casey and his sister, Jane. 1. Harlan Lance's afternoon speech class working on their project in makeup. A Chinese character is being illustrated. The students in this class, most of whom are seniors, learned all about problems of applying greasepaint and rouge before they staged their class play; then they did the actual laboratory work, applying their own powder and paint and receiving a class grade for this work. 2. Candid shot from Gene Gordon's nd at Play industrial arts shop. This reveals a class of freshmen at work on woodwork. One of the high-lights of Exhibit Day, held each spring, is the display of articles made by the boys in industrial arts classes. There is everything from beds to tables to footstools. 3. Setting for Dolls,” a one-act play presented by members of the sophomore English classes. Miss Bertha Heetland of the English department directed the play, which was used for the Christmas assembly as well as for several civic organizations. 4. A scene in MissMaurine Johnson's plane geometry class. The class meets in room 11, Main Building, seventh hour in the afternoon. The picture shows some students working at their seats, others at the blackboard, where the teacher is supervising their construction of figures. (Continued on page 76) ---------------------------------------- FLAME 15 President Claude McKean Casey Citizens 111 ho To the Class of 1940 In behalf of the board of education I wish to congratulate you on the manner in which you have completed the course prescribed for you in this school, and I assure you of our best wishes for a successful and prosperous life. I would like to leave this thought, not only in the minds of you who compose this class, but in the minds of all the high school graduates throughout the land. In a few short years upon your shoulders will fall the duty of conducting the affairs of this great country of ours in all its branches. Therefore, as future citizens, it behooves you to leave no stone unturned to fit yourselves for the task that is before you. Old Father Time with his sickle is daily severing the brittle thread of life of both men and women that have been prominent in the social, economic, and spiritual life of our country. Therefore, if, with the foundation you have already established, you apply yourselves properly, some day you will step into the places occupied by those people who have passed on. May it be the lot of at least some of you to be thus successful. CLAUDE McKEAN, President Instead of the usual words of praise to our board of education for the wise decisions they make in our behalf and the care which they take to make this school the best for miles around, we are going to give you excerpts from the letter sent by H. D. Trimble, the assistant high school visitor from the University of Illinois. Mr. Trimble visited our plant in January. The letter speaks for the work of these men. ” 1. The school spirit was excellent. The pupils were observed to be courteous, respectful, and co-operative. There seemed to be an unusually good pupil-teacher relationship. The instruction was good, most of it above average. “2. In most respects Casey has an excellent school plant. A suggestion is that for a school as large as yours a cafeteria might be provided. Your twenty-acre site provides one of the most attractive campuses in the state. The janitorial service was observed to be excellent. 1940 16 Guide Our Destinies ”3. The instructional equipment seemed to be good and well kept. A modem radio would make an excellent addition to your instructional equipment. ”4. The school records seemed to be good and well kept in the Class B fireproof safe which has recently been installed. ”5. On the day of the visit your school seemed to be well organized and operating efficiently. It is apparent that you have an excellent board with funds sufficient to support the school. The working relationships in your community are unusually good. No doubt the principal is responsible for developing such an excellent community spirit. My impression is that your school is really the center of community activity. 6. The preparation of the staff of teachers is good. Seven of the eighteen on the faculty have Master's Degrees. Others are studying for them. All are well prepared in the subjects assigned. 7. The teaching and pupils' loads are satisfactory. 8. The educational program is good. It is suggested that this community might like to develop courses in general shop and building trades. Art, too, would be a valuable addition to the curriculum.” The men who are on the board this year are Claude McKean, plumber; Harry Partlow, lawyer; Landis Dehl, insurance; Harry Eumont, section manager at shoe factory; Kent Morgan, grocer; Herbert McCrory, farmer; and John Smith, farmer.

This group is called the Student Council. The members are composed of the class officers, and the officers of the senior class are automatically the Student Council officers. This year's officers are president, Todd Fouty; vice-president, Lamont Dehl; secretary-treasurer, Wanda Snearly. This group, with the aid of their adviser, Miss Maurine Johnson, has been responsible in past years for the organization of the Pep Club, with Rosemary Weigel as president, for planning of the student employment bureau, with Veairnell White as the adviser. They are responsible for all student assemblies and ly-ceum numbers, with Bill Victor as chairman of this committee. This year a reorganization plan is in progress by which the Student Council may be enlarged and will be more representative of the school. The members of the council, except freshmen representatives, will be elected in the spring so the council will be definitely at work on the opening day of school next fall. It is the responsibility of the Student Council to plan for all school parties and programs on special occasions. With the reorganization of the council, we hope to be an even greater factor in our school life. 1 9 4 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 18 C. 1. H. S. This group of students represented Casey Township High School on the Columbia School of the Air broadcast over WBBM Friday, January 19. The students were chosen from the United States history classes of around seventy pupils, mostly seniors. This group was reduced to the sixteen who went on the air at Chicago. To qualify, the students first wrote a paper on the subject they were to discuss— Keeping Out of War. This theme was from 600 to 1000 words. Out of the entire group, twenty-one were selected. These papers were read by both the history instructor and one of the English instructors. They were evaluated according to content, ex- on the flir pression, and the like. One student dropped out of the race, leaving twenty in the field. These twenty students had a special conference with their history instructor, who went over their papers with them discussing them thoroughly and giving suggestions. Then the group had individual conferences with the speech instructor, who tested their voices. The history instructor and the speech instructor jointly selected the group of sixteen students. After the group was selected, the program of training consisted mostly of discussions using the public address system.

We sold noons, at basketball and football games, and at the E. I. League to make money to pay for this FLAME. The end of the year brought us Baccalaureate and Commencement. The end of our childhood days! ___________________________________—FLAME 25 Darlene Landis. Mr. Lance. Miss Kelley, James Harthan. Rosemary Weigel. On September 4, 1939, seventy-five juniors returned to school once more to resume education. The following officers were elected: president, Rosemary Weigel; vice president, James Harthan; secretary-treasurer, Darlene Landis. Among our new students were Lois Partridge, Jim Wood, Charles Brown, W. L. Miller, Bob McDaniel, Gerald Monroney, and Weldon Calvert. At the annual homecoming game we had two queen attendants: Eleanor Squier and Darlene Landis. In athletics we were well represented by Bill Bertram, Ralph Collins, Dale Chrysler, Bill Fasig, Leo Gard, Rhon-dal Gordon, Ray McCrory, W. L. Miller, Dick Perry, Charles Shawver, Charles Vail, and Jim Wood in football; and by Bill Bertram, Rhondal Gordon, Charles Vail, Leon Staley, W. L. Miller, Charles Shawver, Ralph Collins, Dick Perry, and Jim Wood in basketball. The FLAME staff cadets were Lois Kelly and Jayne Shick, while Dorothy Class of 1941 OFFICERS President...............Rosemary Weigel Vice-president...........James Harthan Secretary................ Darlene Landis Robinson, Phyllis Wright, Eleanor Squier, Beth Elliott, Rosemary Weigel, Theda Robbins were on the BROADCASTER staff. Several juniors chose music as one of their outside activities. The girls' trio this year was entirely composed of juniors: Virginia Weaver, Phyllis Wright, and Eleanor Squier, accompanied by Darlene Landis. Many others were members of the band and choruses. At the end of the first semester those with scholastic honors were as follows: high honors, Berniece Snodgrass; honors, Frances Bathelemy, Bessie Jernigan, Gordon Martin, Dorothy Robinson, and Elizabeth Welker. The climax and also the high spot of the school year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. At that time the class of '41 entertained the class of '40. Our class sponsors for the year were Miss Emily Kelley and H. E. Lance. 1940 26 Juniors Rosemary Weigel James R.

Bill Victor Vice-president .........................Iris Rude Secretary .....................Freda Spencer On Monday morning, September 4, 1939, ninety-four of us entered the doors of old Casey High ready for another school term. We were happy that we were now able to consider ourselves upperclassmen and no longer needed to be called freshies. At our first club meeting this year the following were elected as new officers: president, Bill Victor; vice-president, Iris Rude; secretary-treasurer, Freda Spencer. The sophomore class was well represented in sports. With the opening of the football season the following boys reported: Owen Kilborn, Stanley Poffinbarger, Leland Williams, Victor Orrell, Bob Lawrence, Wayne Hish, Junior Sharp, Hobert Glosser, Harold Comer, Gene Colbert, and Bill Victor as manager. Owen Kilborn, Bob Lacey, Dwane Carrell, Joe Sharp, Frank McCash, Victor Orrell, Leland Williams, Joe Cassidy, Wayne Hish, Hobert Glosser, and Hartman, Freda Spencer. Don Hutton represented us in basketball. 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. Jerry Roan, Bill Victor, and Wanda Garner were on the BROADCASTER staff. At the annual homecoming game we had two queen attendants: Wanda Garner and Charlotte Austin. The sophomore debate team was made up of Ruth Chrysler, Betty Kite, Bill Victor, and Evelyn Dixon. 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 and E. C. Gordon were our class advisers this year. 29 FLAME Officers and Advisers Miss Heetland. Kenneth Cutler. Paul Cook. Mr. Rawlinson. Betty Staley (no picture). Our youngest OFFICERS President ................ Kenneth Cutler Vice-president ......... Paul Cook Secretary....................Betty Staley Early in September, eighty-three of us freshmen entered Casey High in high spirits. After a few days in searching for classrooms and learning our way about, we settled down to routine work as members of the student body. The freshmen class elections resulted in the appointment of Kenneth Cutler as president, Paul Cook as vice-president, and Betty Staley as secretary and treasurer. Miss Bertha Heetland and K. B. Rawlinson were class sponsors. We were well represented in all activities this year. When the call was issued for football, the following boys responded: Bill Arney, Harold Ballinger, Kenneth Cutler, Rex Johnson, Charles Sherman, Leon Reeder, Clifford Smith, Norman Ulrey. The following boys went out for basketball: Paul Cook, Harry Eumont, Harold Ballin- ger, Charles Sherman, Norman Ulrey, Bill Arney, and Russell Comer. 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, Claribel Morton and Pauline Philippi had high honors; Bill Arney, Melva Brandenburg, Bill Fouty, Juanita Huffman, and Betty Staley had honors. Several of us also found our way into the band and chorus. Several of the boys joined the F. F. A., and several of the girls G. A. A. Our queen attendants at the homecoming football game were Betty Staley and Martha Jean Ruffner. 1940 30 freshmen Paul Cook Betty Staley Kenneth Cutler Harry W. Eumont.

Too frequently public buildings are allowed to show the results of use and the accumulation of waste. Casey Township High School is fortunate in having three custodians who have been in their jobs a long time and who are responsible citizens, anxious to do not only the tasks that they are assigned to do but even more. They take pride in keeping in the best condition possible the fine equipment that is furnished them. What is more, they are the friends of faculty and students alike. We often forget in the fast and furious life that we lead to thank our three friends for their patience; so we take this opportunity to say Thank You, Mr. Watts. You have had the longest period of service with us. As chief engineer for the entire plant, as electrician and fireman, you have done a nice piece of work. Thank You, Slim Hoyt. You are next in years of service. As night fireman and general custodian for the Vocational Building and the New Gym, you get plenty of thanks from all of us. Thank You, Mr. Fasig. You have a real task when you keep us all on the straight and narrow over in the Main Building. You take your job seriously, and we appreciate your efforts. 1 940 -----------------------------------FLAME 32 ★ ★ The Sports Sportsmanship embodies the better traits of human character. This is the virtue that we are striving for constantly at C. T. H. S. In our games with other schools, in our intramural sports, in all our activities, we try to practice the live and let live rule. This concrete tennis court, new in the fall of 1939, is a place where students and faculty meet in a friendly game. Spring and fall will find it crowded. Even at night, when the football field is flooded with light, tennis can be enjoyed on the courts. Our track, main football field, practice ground, soccer field, baseball diamond, and indoor gymnasiums furnish much space for boys and girls to learn the principles of sportsmanship. The excellent equipment furnished by the board makes sports much appreciated by us. fl View of Our Campus and Our Brand Oew Tennis Courts IHany Attend The annual football banquet was held at the high school gym December 5, and is believed to have been better attended than any other football banquet. Howard Swinford, president of the Lions Club, was referee since the program was conducted much the same as a football game. The kickoff was taken by H. M. Jones, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who called for order. Rev. L. L. Lawrence gave the invocation. The second quarter was opened with the introduction of the board of education. The guests of the football banquet were introduced, and it was found that the Masonic Lodge, Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, and the Lions Club were there cheering for the home team. Colorful Banquet The third quarter opened with the presentation of the Harris trophy by J. B. Buckler. This large and beautiful -up was awarded to Lamont Dehl, who was first string full back for the Purple Warriors this year. Ken Doc'' Raw-linson took the situation in hand and awarded the most valuable player trophy to Captain Denver Mumford and Lamont Dehl, who tied for this honor. Coach Gene Rose gained ground when he awarded the football letters. Coach Rose also announced next year's football captain, Charles Shawver. This ended the third quarter with Referee Swinford uninjured. The fourth quarter started off with a bang with Red Southern, sports writer, poet, and sports radio broadcaster on the line.

The Warriors won seven out of ten games and were the only ones in Illinois to defeat the Oblong Panthers. The Warriors placed third in the Eastern Illinois League and fifth in the Wabash Valley. The Warriors, as a whole, were small and fast. Due to this speed and good blocking, they thrilled the Casey fans continually with long runs. Captain Denver Mumford and Lee Roy Lacey were the fastest halfbacks that Casey has had for a long time. Clayton Robey and Lamont Dehl were two of the best line-backers in the Eastern Illinois League. The team loses for next year by graduation: Captain Denver Mumford, Lee Roy Lacey, Lamont Dehl, Charles facobs, Clayton Robey, Bob Scott, Marion Kilborn, Leo Simpson, Junior Dau-qhhetee, Jerald Barr, and Boyd Howe. Returning for next year are Captain-elect Charles Shawver, Ralph Collins, the Pigskin Bill Bertram, Dale Chrysler, Bill Fasig, Rhondal Gordon, and Wayne Hish. The biggest loss to the team, since most of the line will be back, will be in the back field. Bill Bertram and Wayne Hish, line men this year, may be moved into the back field next year. The Flame staff extends congratulations to Coach Rose, Assistant Coach Rawlinson, and the Warriors of the 1939 football team, who, although they were handicapped by injuries during a good part of the season, went on to conclude a highly successful schedule.

B. Rawlinson for tennis last year. Tennis practice started right after the 1939 basketball season closed. Those reporting and staying our for tennis were Stub Brewer, Paul Robey, Her-schel Collins, Jim Secrest, Everett Mathis, Jerry Roan, and Vic Orrell. Since the weather was bad most of the time, the tennis team did not get in as much practice and competition as it would have if it had been good weather. This coming season will find the tennis team playing on a new concrete tennis court that was constructed last summer. This should add greatly to the strength of future tennis teams of Casey.

Casey's 1939 track team won the Clark County track meet, placed third in the E. I., and fifth in the district at Mattoon. Lee Roy Lacey won first in the high hurdles, and Denver Mumford won first in the broad jump at the Eastern Illinois track meet, according to Coach Gene Rose. The Warriors lost only three members by graduation; namely, Captain Dean Middleton, Bob Wright, and Walter Hall. With most of the members of the 1939 track squad back, the Warriors ought to have an excellent season in 1940. The returning lettermen of 1939 are Denver Mumford, Lee Roy Lacey, Dick Perry, Bill Fasig, Charles Jacobs, Lamont Dehl, Marion Kilborn, Russell Mumford, Hobert Glosser, Charles Simpson, and Leo Simpson. 39 FLAME Warriors on the Hardwood Dec. 9 ... .Casey 30—Toledo 19 Jan. 18 .

Rhondal Gordon, Marion Kil-born (captain). Gene Hartman, Russell Mum-ford, Merle Snider (captain). Bill Bertram, W. L. Miller. Gene Rose (coach). By Manuel Dixon (Casey man, who up to this year held state record for number of games attended). Forward Denver (Denny) Mumford was one of the fastest basketball handlers in the E. I. Conference. Denny spent his first two years at Martinsville, coming back to Casey his junior year. In dribbling, passing, and floor work he had no peer in this part of the state and usually added his points to the scoring column. Forward and Co-Captain Marion Kilborn was a four-letter man in basketball—a cool floor man, good ball handler, who made few mistakes in his handling of the team. A consistent scorer, though not high-point man, he made many of them when most needed. Center Gene Hartman, started his playing in his junior year and improved with every game—a high scorer, with a pivot shot hard to guard, and a splendid rebounder. Guard and Co-Captain Merle Snider, using his 6 foot 1 inch height to great advantage on rebounds and shooting with either hand from either side of the floor. ''Jiggs'' added many points to his team total with his hook shots. Guard Bill Bertram, the only junior on the first five, was a three-letter man. Bill was a steady, hard driving type, all over the floor on loose balls, and a deadly shot from the side court—the player around whom the team will probably be built next year. Substitute number one was Russell Mumford, a senior, who will be greatly missed. Russ is the type most coaches look for but seldom find, one who can sit on the bench without sulking, and when put in the game, fight with all he has. He could fill any position without weakening the team play. Charles (Chuck) Vail, the mighty mite, a junior, whose size was his only handicap. Chuck was a great offensive player, but his lack of size was a detriment to him on defense. That failed to worry him, and they didn't come too big for him to mix with. Rhondal Gordon, a good B team player, who should go well next year. Gordon has size and weight and with added experience should be a great asset to his team as he is only a junior. W. L. Miller, a transfer from Montrose, came along rapidly and made his place on the state team. Miller is a fighter, good shot, and needs only experience. Leon Staley, another junior who came out for basketball late, needed plenty of push to earn his place on the first ten, and he made the grade. As with the other juniors, experience is his greatest handicap and that will come. Leon never failed to do his best when in the game and that is all one can expect. __________________________________________FLAME 41 Warriors Go To The State !

Casey Takes floor Shoiu to Tournament (Editor's Note: This article appeared in the Champaign News-Gazette during the State Tournament.) CASEY BRINGS FLOOR SHOW TO STATE Huff Gymnasium, March 15—A year ago Peoria Woodruff brought a floor show along with its basketball team in the state tournament, and Thursday Casey followed suit. “Eight 'Pepperettes,' young high school girls decked out most of the time in white oilcloth skirts, white satin blouses and white shoes, with color decorations of purple bands around their waist and purple and gold pompoms on their sleeves, stole the show at the opening day of the tournament. Between the first and second quarters of the Casey-Moline game they made their debut, going through formations to spell out “Moline while the Casey cheering section supported them in staccato fashion in the background. Then between halves the Pepperettes added a feather in their hair to the costume and went through an Indian drill. During the second half the girls appeared several times, assisting in leading the Casey cheering sessions and twice more appearing with formations on the floor. “This Casey organization is two years old and it travels wherever the basketball team goes. During the last two months the Pepperettes have performed at the Eastern Illinois, the Robinson regional, and the Lawrenceville sectional tournaments, along with the regular Casey games. “Miss Bertha Heetland, an English teacher at Casey, coaches the group which is sponsored by the student council and the “pep club. Tryouts for positions in the group are held every fall, and the girls are picked on the basis of size and rhythm. Organized practice is held with the cheering sections weekly to unify the performance. Members of the Pepperettes at the state tournament are Iris Rude, Cody Hoyt, Charlotte Austin, Marjorie Applegate, Patsie Daughhetee, Thedis Rude, Wilma Barker, and Lorene Ping.

Here is the Place UJe Get Our fourth R .. fiecreaticn UJe Present Our The Casey chapter of the Future Farmers of America is made up of twenty-six members, who are taking agriculture or have taken it at some time or other. The purpose of the F. F. A. is to promote any project which will tend to help agriculture, also to train the boys for judging corn, hogs, sheep, cattle, horses, and poultry. Each year the F. F. A. sponsors a contest to rid the farmers of such pests as crows and hawks. This year the F. F. A. sponsored a rat tail contest. Prizes were given to the boys who brought in the largest number of rat tails. Although you do not have to kill a rat to get his tail young farmers (some haven't got any), it is easier. In as much as there were 400 tails brought in we figure there were at least that many rats killed. Although many people do not realize it, the rat is the most destructive animal in the world. In the United States, rats and mice each year destroy crops and other property valued at over $200,000,000. On many farms if the grain eaten and wasted by rats and mice could be computed, the proceeds would more than pay the farmer's taxes. Each year the F. F. A. has several picnics and parties, which are paid for by money earned by the boys cleaning seed. W. A. Newlin is head farmer. 1st Row: Clarence Edwards, Clifford Kibler, Weldon Calvert, Billy Speakman, Bill Fouty, Jerald Barr, Jackie Finney, Wayne Hish, Wilbur Henderson, Paul Haley, Otha Carver, Wendell Daughhetee, Billy Howe, Alvin Choate, Lyle Cunningham, Gene Reisner, Gerald Hurt, Clifford Smith, Paul Philippi. 2nd Row: Kenneth Garrett, Bill Ault, Don Mc-Farling, Leo Simpson, Boyd Howe, Rhondal Gordon, Mr. Nowlin, Everett Brown, Leo Gard, Don Cox, Max Cramer, Eugene Finney, Stanley Poffinbarger. 3rd Row: Duane Poffinbarger, Leo Gosney, Lewis Laymon, Paul Wright, Junior Daugh-hetee, Merle Snider, Ivan Sidwell, Bob Brown, Kenneth Washburn, Bob Miller, Leo Slater, Bob Stephens. 1 9 4 0 --------------------------------FLAME 49 INTER NOS Bill Arney Charlotte Austin Jean Bowers Mary Brandenburg Molva Brandenburg Elsie Briggs Evelyn Callahan Ruth Chrysler Wilma Czerwonka Lamont Dehl Evelyn Dixon Jane Dorn Ramona Downey Harrv Eumont, Jr. Margaret Fasig Ethelyn Fitch Todd Fouty Marv Graham Margie Glidewell Vivian Hall Dorothy Harper Margaret Hawker Wilbur Henderson Thelma Hogue Juanita Huifman Mabel Hunt Charles Jacobs Dorothy Kaufmann Marion Kilborn Darlene Landis Virginia Lashbrook Bob Lawrence Maxine Lee Norma LeMay Juanita Luckey Carolyn Matheny Peggy Moody Claribel Morton Maxine Perisho Wayne Pumphrey Jerry Roan Theda Robbins Joe Sharp Charles Simpson Wanda Snearly Eleanor Squier Claire Thiel Marge Townsend Ruth Tyhurst Charles Vail Ginger Vail Pearl Walker Evelyn Welker Leland Williams Leta Williams Jewell Wilson Vaneta Whitney Mary Lou Wortman Jim Wood Betty Yanaway Betty Yocum Betty Staley Martha Buckler Phyllis Wright LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Wm.

The band plays an important part in each year's athletic schedule. They have added to the attraction of the home football games by performing illuminated formations at the night games. The E. I. Tournament is a good example of the time and work put into our band. The band plays for all sessions and games of the complete tournament, and their novelties have added greatly to the general fun. Our band holds a record for having won first place in nine successive district tournaments. From the band come the soloists who will represent our school. This year those people are Norma Le May, sax (who, by the way, won second in the national last year); Martha Buckler, clarinet; Paul Bray, bass; and Jim Baker, cornet. This year the band is planning a spring concert, which should add to the interest of the organization.

Boys' Cho rus Girls’ Chorus Listen, fellows: To be tall, dark and handsome isn't necessary, but a tune whispered in the dark surely helps, says Shakespeare Hawkins. Jusk ask the fellows in the boys' chorus, they know. But seriously, the chorus is to be congratulated for its record which ties the girls'. To take first place in county, E. I., district, and state and have the opportunity to enter national competition as a part of the choir rather than as a separate group is a record. In this year's quartet, Bob Scott and this year's quartet, Bob Scott and George Giffin replaced Dale Bell and Max Meeker as baritone and bass. The aims of the new group are high. It is frequently said that a beautiful voice is one of the biggest assets a girl can have. Perhaps this partially explains the great interest of most girls toward our girls' glee club. As girls, we are proud of our accomplishments, which are firsts in county, E. I., district, and state with the opportunity of entering national competition. There are approximately thirty girls who compose the choir and from these potential Lily Pons each year come the ones who enter contests in individual events. In 1939, these girls were Eleanor Squier, high soprano; Vaneta Whitney, mezzo soprano; and Virginia Moore, alto. Eleanor won second in the district, while Vaneta and Virginia won first in the district, and second in the state. -----------------------------------------FLAME 53 1st.

If you like to sing and have missed the opportunity to sing in our high school choir at a contest or in our annual spring concert, then you've missed a thrill for all music lovers. In the annual contests last spring, our choir took first in the county, district, E. I., and state contests. They placed second in the national. Good soloists are important to any choir, and Casey has been fortunate in having three outstanding soloists: Eleanor Squier, Vaneta Whitney, and Ralph Brooke. As an annual function, the choir gives a complete concert in the spring, composed of classic and semi-popular music by the group: numbers by both the boys' chorus and the girls', boys' quartet, girls' trio, and individual solos and novelties. This concert is anticipated by townspeople as well as by the students. But not all musicians have the voices for actual choir work. If you are one of these, let us invite you to treat yourself to the joys of hearing and enjoying a group of young people who love to sing and who do a good job of it. 1940 Resolved:That - - - The phenomenal success of last year's debate team—first in the Lincoln district, second in Eastern Illinois Tournament, the second team in the history of Casey Hi to go to a state tournament, where they tied for first place honors in the B division—has given added zest and enthusiasm to this year's debaters. Our question, Resolved: That the government should own and operate the railroads, is an alive and exciting subject for debate. Several members from last year's team make up an experienced squad. Virginia Moore and Rosemary Weigel are the two regulars that are back. Todd Fouty and Wanda Snearly received letters last year, and this year are seeing regular service. Several from last year's freshmen debate squad are out for the team this year. They are Dorothy Kaufmann, Evelyn Dixon, Jean Bowers, Betty Kite, and Bill Victor. Jim Wood and Charles Brown, transfer students, complete the squad. In preparation for the state contests, the old team have participated in several non-divisional debates as well as several tournaments. The schedule has included such competition as Wiley of Terre Haute, Newton, Mat-toon, Charleston T. C., and Charleston High, Pinckneyville, DuQuoin, Olney, Paris, and Webster Groves of St. Louis, Mo. We are looking forward to another successful debate season in the spring competition. Wanda Snearly, George Tade, Ruth Chrysler, Jim Wood, Betty Kite, Todd Fouty.

Lance, Norma LeMay, Todd Fouty, George Giffin, Martha Buckler, Virginia Moore, Eleanor Kite, Vaneta Whitney, Maxine Lee, Jr. Brewer, Rosemary Stephenson, Russell Mumford, and Bob Scott were transformed from the typical high school seniors to those persons whose life presented entertainment on the stage. The action of the cast was headed by Virginia Moore and Todd Fouty; but from the hilarity and fun observed at practices, it's to be noticed that the rest of the cast was not far behind. The cast itself could not have functioned as well as it did had it not been for the people behind the scenes: Bill Victor, who did a good job of the lighting; Bob Scott, our sound-effect man, Betty Chenoweth, who gave much time and advice to our cast; and the committees who helped on scenery. All were a big help in making our play a success. The make-up and costumes were done, to a good advantage, by the members of the cast themselves. They were a part of a project for their speech class. 1 940 -------------------------------------------------------------- 56 family Upstairs”?

Mother Heller (Theda Robbins) is a sweet woman, who has her hands full trying to take care of her younger daughter Anabelle (Rosemary Weigel) who dislikes to practice her piano lesson; Willie, her only son (Ralph Brooke), a devil-may-care sort of a lad; and Louise, her twenty-one year old daughter (Corinne Welch), a problem because she has not yet found a husband. The father (Bill Ault), about fifty, loves his family though he believes he does not. Louise has met and become particularly interested in Charles Grant (Charles Brown). They become engaged, but only after much protest from Louise do the parents learn of the situation. Overly anxious Mother Heller does everything to impress Charles and even engages Miss Calahan (Virginia Weaver), the town gossip and a dressmaker, to make a blouse for Louise. Miss Calahan calls to bring the blouse and upon finding Charles proceeds to lead him to believe that someone has exaggerated his financial condition. Charles, fearing that he cannot give Louise everything she should have, attempts to break the engagement. This brings about a quarrel with the family, and Louise decides to leave town for a while and never see Charles again. Mrs. Grant (Dorothy Robinson), Charles's mother, calls to see the Hellers. She brings Herbert (Jim Baker), her younger son, who, after associating with Anabelle, announces that they are going to be married—when they grow up. Father Heller, whose ideas have been constantly suppressed by Mother Heller, takes the quarrel in hand. It is needless to say all ended well. The play was directed by Miss Bertha Heetland. 57 FLAME Girls Like Athletics, Too Ramona Downey, Sidney Walt. Jayne Shick, llene Estes, Norma Boyd. Berniece Snodgrass, Marjorie Applegate, Rosemary Weigel, Lorene Ping, Virginia Moore, Marge Townsend, Phyllis Wright, Ginger Vail, Virginia Weaver. I promise to uphold the ideals of the Girls' Athletic Association by promoting interest in athletics and the out-of-doors; by living so that I may be healthy and strong; by making good sportsmanship a constant factor in my conduct. This is the G. A. A. pledge taken by all members. Each G. A. A. girl taking physical education during the year earns 160 G. A. A. points. She may earn additional points (1) by keeping health rules; (2) by having an examination of eye, ear, nose, throat, heart, etc., (3) by staying after school for the following activities: archery, basketball, dancing, hiking, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball. Those who cannot stay after school may participate in any of the following activities during their leisure time: bicycling, bowling, horseback riding, horseshoe pitching, skating, tennis, and walking. Thus it is possible for any G. A. A. girl to win all or some of the following awards: 1st Local Award 600 points Class Number 2nd Local Award 1200 points School Letter League Award (I) 1600 points I League Emblem—2000 points Social events during the year include (1) a freshman party, (2) Thanksgiving alumnae banquet, (3) a plaid and stripe party for the athletic squads.

Snaps .. Broadcaster .. facts .. Look up this way . . . now watch the birdie . . . smile just a little . . . click. Every student is familiar with those words. This year's staff was headed by Lois McKinley with Madeleine Anderson as adviser. A visit to the photographer started the work on the FLAME. Photographs were only a start on the work. The FLAME staff was very fortunate in having a bit of pleasure at the very start by visiting the Huston-Patterson Printers at Decatur, Illinois. Then work was started in earnest. Planning and writing took the staff's time. The photography work on the cover pictures was accomplished by Russell Mumford and Charles Jacobs with the aid of Mary Huntington, of the science department. The first inkling of what the FLAME would look like was seen when members of the staff saw the dummy. Were they thrilled? Color and bleed cuts for the first time. The cooperation of all members of the senior class in selling candy and paying their dues made the financial part a success. The money end was supervised by Veaimell White. Assignments ... deadlines ... headaches . . . check and double check . . . rewrite . . . check . . . type . . . check . . . this is the story of the BROADCASTER reporter. On Friday the fifteen reporters came to room 13 for assignments. When Monday came, everyone was in a frenzy. Monday evening was the deadline. Checking, rechecking, and typing filled the next two days. On Friday every one was in the library for a peek at the paper. The adviser, Madeleine Anderson, with Editor Todd Fouty and Assistant-Editor Lamont Dehl were constantly busy planning and checking. They were aided by a small, but busy, group of reporters. Every member of the BROADCASTER staff enjoyed reading the paper, especially the story they wrote. This enjoyment was doubled when those reporters heard comments and saw the students reading the stories. 1940 60 They Have Pr FLAME STAFF Standing—Virginia Moore, Marge Townsend, Miss Anderson, George Giffin, Charles Simpson, Martha Buckler, Betty McCash, Lois Kelly.

The gate receipts for 1939 were $2,700; for 1940 they were $2,824, another record for the E. I. L. The schools taking part in the tournament were Charleston City, Oblong, Casey. Greenup, Hutsonville, Paris, Palestine, Effingham, Kansas, Robinson, Marshall, Newton, Toledo, Martinsville, Westfield, and Charleston T. C. When the final whistle was blown Saturday night, this was the list of winners. First place ............Paris Second place.. Charleston City Third place.......... Greenup Fourth place ........Marshall This is the second year in succession that the Paris boys have won the E. I. L.. This gives them a second leg on the Paris Beacon-News trophy. Friday night was the big night of tourney with every bit of seating and standing room taken. It was necessary to use the soccer field, the ground to the west of the gymnasium, and finally the lighted football field in order to accommodate the cars. At that session $863.65 were taken in at the doors. The large gymnasium was decorated in bunting, flags, welcome signs, and the like. The new curtains to the stage were seen for the first time by the spectators. A piece of net covered the front of the stage to protect the curtains. J. O. Hawkins and his band performed at every session except Friday night when they had to desert the stage in order to make more standing room for spectators. Principal Buckler was the manager for the tourney, with Gene Rose and Ken Rawlinson assisting. fl Look Into the future Imogene Ault—moVt. 27iLL hVi m'1 2; iR bo1 2R.

By the way, what have you been doing, September? September: I've been having a very busy time. My month was cut rather short this year because of the heat; however, such important events as the all-school party, first night football game with Charleston T. C., the Coffer-Miller lyceum, and the night game with Robinson were squeezed in.” November: You have been busy!

A. A. party, the junior class play and N. F. L. at Charleston. SCENE III Characters: March April May March: Oh, I've been busy this month! Tournaments and more tournaments, and contests and more contests! First the tournament at Robinson, the regional; then the sectional at Lawrenceville. Then, too, track meets started this month and contests, too. There were also two ly-ceums this month. April: I've been having contests, too. Senior Guidance Conference was this month. Some of the other happenings were sub-district contest, state chorus and band, state contest for literary and debate, and a lyceum number. That just about finishes my activities. Oh, my goodness, I almost forgot the junior-senior banquet. Now I am finished; so take it away, May. May: Thank you, April. I think you are a little bit confused, April. This year the junior-senior was in my time. I started off with the E. I. music and literary contest at Robinson, Wab-ash-Valley track meet and national vocal. That was about all until my last week; but say, that surely was full! I had Baccalaureate, semester tests, Class Day, Memorial Day, and at last Commencement. That finishes me and school for this year. See you all in September. 59 FLAME Orchids lo These Students Second Semester 1938-1939 Seniors HIGH HONORS Betty lane Daniel Ruth Crampton Eugene Johnson Gleneva Havens Max Meeker Clifford Roan Ruth Steward Juniors Marjorie Watt Bemiece Watts Paul Robey Eugene McCrory Norma LeMay Todd Fouty Russell Mumford Wanda Snearly Sophomores Vaneta Whitney Bemiece Snodgrass Freshmen Frances Barthelemy Bessie Jernigan Gordon Martin Evelyn Dixon Everett Brown Dorothy Kaufmann William Victor Sidney Watt Jacqueline Whitworth First Semester 1939-1940 HIGH Seniors HONORS Martha Buckler Norma LeMay Betty McCash Wanda Snearly Bert Brewer Katherine Biggs Todd Fouty Marion Kilbom Lewis Laymon Virginia Moore Bob Scott Vaneta Whitney Bemiece Snodgrass Juniors Frances Barthelemy Leo Gard Bessie Jernigan Gordon Martin Dorothy Robinson Claire Thiel Elizabeth Welker Evelyn Dixon Dorothy Kaufmann Jerry Roan Sophomores Kenneth Brandenburg Imogene Mitchell Freda Spencer Bill Victor Sidney Watt Jacqueline Whitworth Freshmen Clarifcel Morton Pauline Philippi Bill Arney Melva Brandenburg Bill Fouty Juanita Huffman Betty Staley 1940 70 The Latest Dope on Casey Since the '39 FLAME was off the press too early to include the results of the spring contests in 1939, we are printing here a summary of Casey's triumphs in the fields of speech and music. Speech: in interpretation, first in the county and second in the E. I. League. All individuals won the right to go to the district contest. Todd Fouty, Max Meeker, and Rosemary Weigel went to the state, where Rosemary took third place, Max fifth, and Todd sixth. In the E. I., Martha Buckler won third in dramatic, Wanda Snearly third in poetry, Max Meeker first in oral declamation, Todd Fouty first in original declamation, Rosemary Weigel third in comedy, Cliff Roan third in composition, and Eugene Johnson placed in extempore. The debate team took second in the E. I. League, and first in the Normal district. In the state contest they tied for B division (schools less than 560). Music: The chorus took second in the national for B division Norma LeMay won second in the national, the male quartet first, the sextet third, and Dale Bell fourth. During the school year of 1939-1940, several additions have been made to school equipment. A complete set of curtains were purchased for the new gymnasium stage. They are made of high grade studio purple velour and trimmed with gold fringe. These curtains carry a valance of the same material. There is also a grand border and side tormentors hung on a steel track equipped with roller bearings. The cyclorama has been cleaned, re- paired and refitted. It is now hung on a new steel track with roller bearings. The board recently purchased a complete office equipment of dictaphone, transcriber, and shaver. It is used to supplement secretary work in the principal's office and for instruction of advanced typing students. This, completes the general office equipment for instruction purposes in commercial classes. The comptometer and bookkeeping machine were added a few years ago. In the fall two sets of double courts for tennis were constructed. They are made of concrete with steel nets and steel backstop netting. They were built according to specifications of the Portland Cement Company and the University of Illinois recommendations. Night football became the style of C. T. H. S. this year when for the first time Casey boys played on their home gridiron under lights. Ten sixty foot poles with forty lights of 1500 watts each, or a total of 60,000 watts, were installed on our field. They were put up by the Walker Electric Company of Terre Haute according to Westing-house specifications. The visual aids department has been established as a service to teachers and students in classroom instruction with the schedule of materials directed by Miss Kathryn Hartman. These aids include films — silent and sound — film slides, and stereoptican slides. 71 FLAME 1. Brassy sextet. 2. When Irish eyes are smiling—Exhibit Day, 1939. 3.

Can you tell by the look in his eye which pig needs vitamin A and which vitamin C? Can you •construct a wagon, or even repair one? Well, neither can we, but we would have been able to make a good grade on these questions if we hadn't been girls. Then we would have taken agriculture with W. A. Newlin supervising. SHARPS AND FLATS Hear the male quartet trying a little close harmony? Listen to the strains of O Johnny, O coming over the mike. The brass sextet is trying chords on the stage. Get in tune to the tap, tap, tap of Theda Jane on the xylophone. It's second hour; listen to the peppy students Beating the Band. And then Professor Hawkins, as the musicians call him, gets into action with his baton. Harmony rolls forth from his excellent choir. The youngsters try to swing it, but J. O. holds them down. During football season, when they appeared at a night game, the marching band stole the show. The field was in darkness while the band marched on with lights on their head-gear and with Major-Domo Bill Weaver twirling his neon baton. BRAWN AND MUSCLE One, two, stretch. Three, four, kick.

However, there is always the question of what to do next. You are wondering about high school for next September and, especially if you belong to a non-high district, about what high school. It is to help you answer this question to your own best interests that we have prepared this booklet. Naturally, we of the high school faculty are prejudiced because we believe in the high school and what it has to offer every boy and girl within the circle of its influence. It is not alone the matter of the legal requirement, which says that everyone must be in school until he is sixteen, but also the values found in the training afforded by the curriculum, as well as the personal influence of the trained instructor upon the lives of boys and girls, that we wish to portray in these pages. Your future as a citizen of the United States and as a worker in your country is connected directly with what you know about your country and the work to be done, as well as how you can get along with those with whom you must work and live. Your high school offers you a variety of subjects, some of which are required for graduation, others which you can choose for yourself. Some will help you fill requirements for entrance to college if you can and want to go there; others are a stepping stone to vocations which can be entered without college training. All will help you to be a more useful and intelligent citizen. Besides our regular studies, we give you a chance to develop your personality through expression in club activities, sports, plays, parties, hobbies, and creative writing. In these you associate with your classmates and teachers outside the classroom. Outside talent is brought to the school in assembly programs and lyceum numbers. There are eighteen well trained teachers on our staff, who will be your friends and guide you through the next four years of study; help you decide whether you want to be a teacher, a farmer, or a clerk; help you learn how to get along in the world. They have come to our school after four, five, or six years of college training. Many of them have been with us for a good many years. So turn the pages and take a trip through Casey Township High School and around our campus. Meet our students and teachers, look in on our classes and activities, and determine that you will join our ranks next September. You'll be welcome. 2 May 1, 1940 WHERE OUR STUDENTS LIVE Casey Township High School is known as District No. 202 of Clark County. These elementary school districts are located within Casey Township: District No. 36, Kimlin; District No. 37, Toner; No. 38, No. 3; No. 39, Casey City; No. 40, Yoke; No. 41, Concord; No. 42, White Oak; No. 43, Liberty; No. 44, Brown . . . all in Clark County; No. 4, Yanaway; and No. 5, LeFever in Cumberland County. If you come from one of these schools, you do not have to pay tuition in order to attend Casey High School. You are then what is known as a resident student. If you come from an unorganized territory, or non-high district as we call it, you must have your tuition paid by the non-high board of your county or your parents must be respon- sible for it themselves. You are then what is known as a non-high student. One-third of our students are from non-high territory. Some of them come to school on bicycles; others arrive in cars. Still others ride what is known as the bus, or walk. This picture shows the students piling into the bus after the 3:10 bell at the end of the school day. There are thirty of them who ride to and from the Casey campus each day. They are a happy and hilarious group with the bus driver ever keeping a watchful eye on their welfare and safety. These students come from rural districts of five counties—Clark, Cumberland, Jasper, Cole, and Crawford. Some of them live as far as 20 miles away. A few board and room in Casey during the week. 3 WHAT YOU DO AT HIGH SCHOOL .... These are sample program cards for each year of your high school career showing what your daily program may be.

It is the purpose of our teachers so to plan and share the experiences in their classrooms that you will develop to your fullest capacity in a happy, natural manner. In order to graduate you must have sixteen units of credit. Among these you must have credit in the following subjects: English I, II, III (or English IV), American history, general science, mathematics (either freshman algebra or general mathematics), and six semesters of physical education. After you have included these required studies, you may choose your other subjects according to plan I or plan II. Plan I is known as the general college entrance curriculum. To meet college entrance requirements you must have three majors of three credits each with a total of ten units, or two majors of three credits each and two minors of two credits each in courses selected from the following five major divisions of the academic subjects: (1) English; (2) mathematics; (3) natural sciences; (4) social sciences; and (5) foreign languages. These courses are described on the pages which follow. The subjects required for graduation with the exception of physical education may be included in the ten credits as majors and minors. The remaining units needed to complete the sixteen required for graduation may also be selected from those in the five major divisions of academic fields not used as majors or minors or from the courses offered in practical arts as found under plan II. You will find that algebra and geometry are necessary for entrance to practically any college. Liberal arts colleges ask for two years of a foreign language. Engineering schools require advanced work in mathematics and the natural sciences. Plan II includes work in courses in practical arts. If you do not plan to enter college and are interested in immediate vocational training, you will follow this plan. Many of these subjects may be taken by those who plan to go to college, for you may have as many as six practical arts units among your sixteen even if you expect to attend college. The work offered in practical arts will be described for you later in this book. 5 ENGLISH You will register for freshman English first of all. In this course you read fiction, biographies, and poems. You write descriptions, stories, and such. You learn to speak before a group of people. You find what you can do to improve your speech. We are particularly interested in improving the speaking ability of our students since we do spend so much of our time talking with and before others. The impression we make on other people is directly due to what we say and how we say it. As sophomores you will enroll in English II. In this course you go on with the work you start as freshmen. What you read in and outside of class is a little more advanced, but you continue to read widely and to practice expressing yourself orally. In your junior year you will take English III or English IV. The English III course is designed primarily to show you what America has produced in the way of short story writers, novelists, dramatists, poets, statesmen, and orators; however, it puts emphasis upon literature, newspapers, and magazines being published today in our country, current shows, and events of the day. It is really a course in the culture that America has produced in the last three hundred years. You may earn a unit in English by taking English literature, or English IV, which deals with the literature of England. The second semester of this course is a thorough review in the fundamentals of grammar and gives good practice in rhetoric and theme writing. Although we require you to take only three years of English, you are strongly urged to elect a fourth year. If you plan to attend college, you should not fail to include this course in your program your senior year. For those of you who want special work in speech, there is a class given in the fundamentals of speaking. There is another with special work in debating. Contest work is done outside of class. You may want to try out for a humorous reading, a dramatic reading, an oration, verse reading, extemporaneous speaking, or for the debate team. As a freshman or sophomore you will be given an opportunity to be in a one-act play which these classes sponsor to make money. In your junior or senior year you will be given a chance to try for a part in the three-act play put on by your class. If you like to write, you can write for our school newspaper, the BROADCASTER, or in your junior or senior year for the high school annual, the FLAME. 6 SCIENCE In your first year in high school you will enroll in a general science class. This is required of all freshmen. In general science you learn a great deal about the world in which you live. It is a ''tasting course to find out a little bit about electricity, the stars, safety, sound, radio, and the like. As a sophomore you are urged to take biology, which includes the study of life functions of both plants and animals. Besides work in the laboratory you will take field trips to discover flowers, trees, and birds. In connection with this subect there is a hobby club, known as taxidermy. This work is done outside of class. A student instructor assist you if you want to mount dead birds and animals in order to preserve them. An exhibit of these birds and animals is always on display in the biology laboratory. This course is helpful not only for personal information but for training toward nursing and medicine. Chemistry is the science offered to you for your junior year. If you are interested in becoming a doctor, a nurse, or an engineer, you should be sure to take this course. There is a laboratory period in connection with each chemistry class. There is also a hobby club sponsored by this department. It is known as photography. You take your own pictures; then you develop the negatives in the dark room. You can make enlargements and special toned prints if you like. Though the dark room is a project in connection with chemistry, you may feel free to use it even though you are not registered for this science. A science for your fourth year is physics. You must be sure to take this course if you are interested in mechanics or in being an engineer or doctor. You learn that you live in an orderly universe governed by the law of cause and effect. 7 MATHEMATICS . . . As a freshman you will be required to take a course in mathematics. The day you come to register in September, you will be given a test which will tell whether you are prepared to take freshman algebra. If the test shows that you are not ready for this course, you will be enrolled in a class in general mathematics. Later, if you like, you may take the algebra course. Geometry is recommended for your sophomore year although it is not required for graduation. In this first course in geometry, which is known as plane geometry, you study the principles of measurement of plane figures; such as, the triangle, the circle, or the square. In your junior or senior year you will be offered a course in solid geometry which, with advanced algebra, makes up a third year of mathematics. This third year of mathematics is especially recommended for those who plan to enter a college of engineering or mechanics. FOREIGN LANGUAGES For the first time since you entered school, you will be able to study a language other than your native English. If you are taking a college preparatory course, you will find it advisable to elect either Latin or French, or both. It is necessary to take two years of a language in order to receive credit. Your English vocabulary will be materially increased through a study of these languages. There is a club for the students of each language. The Latin Club is called Inter Nos. Its officers are called by Latin names, old Roman holidays are recognized, an Italian spaghetti supper is served in the fall, and a real Roman dinner is the main event of the spring term. The French Club, or Le Cercle Francais, is made up of the members of the French classes. The meetings are carried on in French, the life of the people across the Atlantic is studied, French movies are shown, and the climax of the year is the French dinner in April. 8 Social studies—the histories, civics, and economics—make up a field in which you will want to take work. In your freshman or sophomore year you will probably enroll for ancient history. This study of the civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome may be followed by modern history offered for your sophomore or junior year. Seniors must register for United States history, which is necessary for graduation. You may earn another credit in social studies by taking during your third or fourth year in high school one semester of civics and one of economics. Current events are studied in connection with all these courses. Many movies, magazines, newspapers, and news reels are used to keep you up to date in regard to what is happening in the world today. The first course for you to take if you are interested in vocational training rather than a course which will prepare you for entrance to college is one in commercial work. As a freshman or sophomore you may take the course known as occupations, in which you get an idea about the various professions, trades, and businesses of man, the training required for each, and the compensation received. Later you may register for business training, business arithmetic, business English, and commercial geography. In your junior and senior years you may take typing and shorthand. For your senior year bookkeeping is offered. Many students who do not plan to enter the business field take courses in this department. Students from this department often enter commercial contests. 1 9 If you have never lived on a farm, you may be interested in finding out something about one. If you live on a farm now, you may want to take some work in scientific farming. At any rate you may earn three units in this field: one in animal husbandry, or agriculture 1; one in crops and soils, or agriculture II; and the third in farm mechanics, or agriculture III. You will have projects in connection with each year's work, be it raising a pig, testing soil, or building a chicken coop. You may belong to the agriculture club, the Future Farmers of America, and enter judging contests and take your products to county and vocational fairs. All courses in agriculture in our school are taught under the Smith-Hughes law. If you are interested in the building trades, you should register for manual training as a freshman. In your sophomore year you will be given an opportunity to take a second course in this field. In these courses you have two periods daily in the shop, where you will study mechanical drawing and then do the actual wood-work at the bench and machine. If you take a course in industrial arts, you will make as a project a bed, a cabinet, a desk, or some other piece of furniture. One of your proudest moments will be Exhibit Day in the spring when your project will be on display for the many visitors who view our school that day. IQ You girls who will be the homemakers of tomorrow may be interested in electing a practical course in sewing, cooking, and homemaking. These are all laboratory courses lasting two periods. For your freshman year the course in clothing is offered. Not only do you learn how to sew, but you also learn about materials, styles, and good taste in dressing. You learn to budget your income and to get the most for your money. As a sophomore you may take foods. This course is designed to teach you to cook, to plan meals, buy supplies, and balance diets. In your junior or senior year you may want to take the course in home management with its units in cooking, sewing, family management, infant care, nursing, etc. There is a large home economics club to which you may belong if you are registered in the home economics department. This club sponsors teas, parties for mothers, and meetings of interest to all girls. The home economics department serves many dinners, banquets, and spreads for various organizations of the school. 11 PHYSICAL EDUCATION . You must take six semesters of this subject in order to be eligible for graduation unless you have a permit from a doctor excusing you because of physical disability, in which case you may be given corrective work. Classes meet twice a week. Part of the time is devoted to a health program; the rest is spent in games, sports, and exercises. You will play such games as soccer, basketball, baseball, and volleyball, tennis, archery, and the like if you are a girl. If you are a boy, you will take part in soccer, tennis, horseshoes, kick pin ball, volleyball, basketball, softball, etc. If you are a girl, you will want to become a member of the Girls' Athletic Association, which has membership always of about eighty. This club for girls interested in sports sponsors hikes, class basketball, dancing, tennis, parties, and demonstrations. Both girls' and boys' physical education classes put on demonstrations for Exhibit Day. 12 MUSIC There is one regular class in music for those who are interested in harmony and the fundamentals of music. Besides this there are numerous music organizations in which you may have a part in addition to solo work. BAND AND CHORUS The band and chorus of the high school are organizations to which it is worth while to belong if you enjoy music. The instructor has try-outs for those of you who want to join the band or chorus. If he thinks you have the ability to be in the first band and chorus, you are eligible to join. The members of the chorus are automatically members of the boys' and girls' glee clubs. In the spring the chorus and glee clubs enter contests, which are held at different cities all over the state. The band also enters contests. If you care to branch into smaller groups such as trios, solos, or ensembles of all kinds, it is your privilege to organize one and enter the contests in the spring. At the end of four years of band and chorus, a letter is given. When solo or ensemble is entered in a contest, a letter is given to the member or members at the end of the year. If you have had no previous training in music but wish to take up either instrumental or vocal, you may enroll in a beginners' band or chorus. 13 PUBLICATIONS You will be kept informed of our school affairs by our publications THE BROADCASTER One of the grandest things in the Casey High School is the BROADCASTER, our school paper. If you like to write, you are welcome to put in an application to join the staff. Friday and Monday are work days in room 13. Material from the BROADCASTER is printed in the town newspapers. In addition the school publishes four special editions. THE FLAME Those dear old cherished memories of C. T. H. S. are neatly preserved in the FLAME. The FLAME staff works diligently each year in planning the book. There are features and pictures of all important organizations and accomplishments in our school. The yearbook is sponsored and paid for by the senior class each year. 14 ATHLETICS .... “Fight! Team! Fight! comes from the throats of Casey High students and townspeople as our Warriors take the field, the floor, the track, or the court; for C. T. H. S. is one of the peppiest schools in Illinois, generally ranking close to the top in each sport. It is one of the highest honors which you can attain in our high school to win one of the coveted athletic C's. Casey's athletes have as a byword: “When the one great scorer comes to write against your name, it is not whether you won or lost, but how you played the game. Consequently every Warrior gives everything he has whether on the hardwood, on the gridiron, on the track, or the court. He is always looked up to by his fellow students. What is known as school spirit is best displayed by the student body in its support of its teams. You will want to be either on a team or yelling for one. 15 THESE ARE THE MEMBERS OE YOUR These men, members of the Casey Township High School Board of Education for the year 1939-1940, are typical of the kind of public-spirited citizens of Casey Township who are willing to donate their services to the community by serving as directors of our high school. Five members come from the city of Casey; they are representatives of the various businesses and professions of the town. The other two members are elected from the rural districts. You will find them meeting with the principal once a month to discuss the policy and procedure of the school. Our board has always been one of the most progressive in the state, and it is this fact which has made our school lead the field in the variety of subjects taught, standard of teacher training required, amount of extra-curricular activity offered, and equipment provided. The 1939-1940 board included Claude McKean, Herbert McCrory, Harry Eumont, Harry Partlow, Landis Dehl, John Smith, and Kent Morgan. For the 1940-41 year, O. A. Logue replaced Mr. McKean as president; C. A. Williams replaced Mr. Partlow. 16 Your school has as its head a principal who works in cooperation with the board of education, the faculty, and the student council to make the best high school possible for you. We try to be progressive here at Casey High School, to know about the latest trends in education, to keep our standards high, and to make for you and your community a school of which you can and always will be proud. STUDENT COUNCIL . The student council is the line of communication between the student body and the administration of the school. It is composed of the sixteen class officers with a teacher and the principal as advisers. The officers of the senior class are the officers of the council. It is the duty of the student council to guide or help in the direction of all school activities. The Pep Club is one of the council's enter- prises. Committees are appointed by or from the council for Open House, and also to plan an assembly for every week in the school year. The council meets once a month and discusses these and other issues. The council appreciates your ideas. It's work for you when you are on the council, but it's an honor not to be attained anywhere else. 17 FOR YOUR INFORMATION . . . . ATTENDANCE Regular and punctual attendance is essentia! to successful school work. Poor attendance habits soon result in a poor quality of work. Responsibility for regularity in attendance must be shared by the parents. Upon returning from an absence you must bring an excuse from a parent showing cause for absence. If you have been detained by your parents for work purposes and are tardy, an excuse for this tardiness must likewise be sent by your parents. An excused absence gives you the right to make up the work missed. Unexcused absences are zeros on the teacher's grade book. You may be sent home if your absence is not excused. Unexcused tardiness must be made up at the close of the school day. You will go to the office for all permits to class upon being absent or tardy. BELLS Morning 1st period ................ 8:20 2nd period ................ 9:05 3rd period ................ 9:50 4th period ................10:35 5 th period ...............11:20 Noon ......................12:00 Afternoon 6th period ................ 1:00 7th period ................ 1:45 8th period ................ 2:30 Dismissal for day.......... 3:10 The call bells each morning at 8:15 and each noon at 12:55 are the signal that you have five minutes in which to get to class. When the tardy bell rings five minutes later, you must be inside your classroom or study hall. If you are late, you must go to the office for a permit before you will be permitted to enter class. Two minutes before the end of each period a warning bell rings. This does not mean that class is over but is merely a signal to the teacher that the period is nearly over. When the final bell rings, the teachers will dismiss this class. Five minutes are allowed for you to get from one class to the next. In addition to these bells, there are special signals. When you are all to come to the assembly for a program or a meeting, three bells in succession are rung. You are to pass directly to the assembly and not take time beforehand to go to your lockers. A gong is used for a fire alarm. This is a warning for you to leave the building at the entrance nearest the place you are located. Instructions as to which door to use will be given in assembly by the principal. SCHOOL MARKS Certainly the making of a certain grade in a subject is not the item of great importance in attending school. However, it is necessary to have some measure of achievement to record for future reference as well as present understanding of quality of work being accomplished. Such a measure is both a comparison of your work with others in your class as well as an intrinsic measure of the work itself. For such purposes the local school rates the quality of your work on a scale divided into five parts with A representing the highest quality, followed by B, C, D, and E—with E the lowest or failing measure on the scale. If you pass your work successfully with two A's and two B's or three A's and one C out of your four subjects, you are listed for the honor roll. If you have four A's, you are given high honor rating The school year is divided into six 6-weeks’ periods. These six-weeks' periods are divided into two semesters of three periods each. Examinations are given at the close of each six weeks period as six weeks' tests with report cards being sent to your parents at this time. Credit on the permanent records is recorded on the basis of average of the three six-week period grades and the semester examination grade. CONFERENCES ON PERSONAL PROBLEMS If you have a question which is bothering you or a problem to discuss, you are urged to see the principal in his office. All teachers are glad to give time to you if you wish to discuss your school life or any difficulties in which you find yourselves. There is an adviser to the girls. Any girl who is ill or who wishes to leave school during the day should report immediately to her or to the office. The boys may report to their physical education teacher or to the office. You should not leave school during the time that school is in session without reporting to the office. If you fail to report to any regular session of school after having been sent from home, you are counted as truant. 19 ASSEMBLIES AND LYCEUMS Assembly programs, held usually at the beginning of school each Monday morning, are the expression of you students and are arranged by the student council under the supervision of a faculty adviser. Community singing, numbers by the music and speech departments, one-act plays, pep sessions to cheer the team, as well as addresses by men in the community, representatives of other schools, and our own faculty members, furnish the entertainment for the Monday morning meetings. This period is used often by the principal for his announcements and instructions. At times the assembly is shifted to another time in the week in order to accommodate a lyceum number which has been scheduled. This entertainment is authorized by the board of education and is offered free of charge to you and any townspeople who care to attend. SO YOU WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO Many students who live too far to go home at noon find it necessary to bring their lunch to school. During nice weather you may eat lunch on the campus, provided you pick up all scraps and paper and place them in large wastebaskets found just outside east and west entrances of the main building, or in the incinerator, which is north of the buildings. Lunch rooms are provided in the main building: the boys eat in the balcony of the old gym; the girls in the small room on the landing down a half-flight of stairs from the library door. If this room becomes too crowded, the girls may eat in room 17. You are not to eat lunch in the new building, in the assembly hall, in any classroom, or in rest rooms. Lockers are provided for you in order that your belongings may be safe. You are given a combination. You should not tell your combination to others. It is never advisable to leave money or other valuables in lockers. Lockers should be kept locked at all times. A twenty-five cent fee is collected for use of a locker. If you bring a car to school, you are requested to park it in the new parking space at the north of the main building. No parking between buildings will be permitted. If you stay at school for lunch, you are asked not to take cars from the parking lot. You should bear in mind that reckless driving to or from school or around the campus endangers the lives of others. The driver's license required in the state of Illinois can be revoked at any time that the operator of the car proves himself incapable of driving with due caution. RURAL PLAY DAY Each of you has visited our school at one of our annual rural play days. The purpose was merely to introduce you to the school so that you would know your way a little better when you came to us as freshmen. At these rural play days each spring the seventh and eighth grade pupils of the rural schools of Casey community gather for an afternoon and evening of play, contests, and entertainment. Commencement also is held at the local high school for all rural eighth grade pupils who are promoted to high school from Cumberland and Clark counties. 20 There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away, Nor any coursers like a page Of prancing poetry. Emily Dickinson. The library is a reading center, a place for enjoying books, magazines, and newspapers; for reference work; and for study. Two days a week in the library are assigned to you. Extra time is granted only when a permit is presented from a teacher instructing you to do extra work in the library. The assigned time should be used to read the magazines and newspapers, browse among the books, and to study. At all times the library must be kept quiet. You should not leave the library during a class period without permission from the librarian. Magazines and newspapers are to be used at the reading table only. At various times teachers will place books on reserve to be used by you in preparation for an assignment. These books may be checked out for one-period use only during the day. They may be taken out after school for over night, week-end, or a holiday. They must be returned to the library desk by 8:20 a. m. the following day. 21 The school grounds, which we like to call our campus, cover twenty-two acres. They include, besides buildings, a lighted football field, a practice field, a guarter-mile track, a soccer field, out-door basketball courts, and two new concrete tennis courts. There are many varieties of trees and shrubbery. The main building, composed of two stories and a basement, holds administration offices, the library, an assembly, a movie room, a small gymnasium, and class rooms for all courses except home economics, manual training, agriculture, and music, which are located in the vocational building. The latter includes a gymnasium with seating capacity of 2400 in the bleachers. An additional 1000 spectators can be accommodated by chairs placed on the playing floor and stage. This building is used YOU HAVE MADE THE Now let us add the final word of welcome to you, our new classmates, friends, and parents. This high school is your school. It is maintained and administered that you—the boys and girls of this community—may have the proper influences, environment, and training to permit you to develop your personalities to the fullest and best. It is further maintained to promote a proper spirit of citizenship where- for plays and other exercises of the school, for basketball games and tournaments, and for community functions. A new R.C.A. public address system makes it possible for everyone to hear any place in the building. Two additional buildings on the campus are devoted to the agricultural department; they are a seed house and farm shop. The set-up at Casey High represents two hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of investment. The campus and buildings have been established for the students. It is hoped that you will look upon the school with pride and feel it is your duty to help take care of it. An excellent staff of janitors look after the buildings and grounds. You are asked to cooperate with them in every way. by freedom-loving citizens can live peacefully under a democratic government. It is also hoped that some practical values have been found in the instruction given that will produce in you a better worker in your economic world as well as one able to appreciate the culture and contributions of your neighbor. With this in mind we say— good-bye —until we see you at Casey High. 22 This is one of the events of our annual Homecoming, in which our football captain crowns the queen chosen by the student body.
