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.

Miss Kathryn Hartman was our only adviser for that year. At our first class meeting we elected our class officers: president, William Earl Weaver; vice-president, Lamont Dehl; secretary-treasurer, Clayton Robey. This year the initiation party was far more interesting because we could participate in the FLAME 21
