★ ★ ★ The People People . . . men, women, and children . . . come to the Casey High campus, which has been rightly called the center of the community.

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.

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.
