How papa looks at school. Fa rmers Hold Town Hall Meetings Casey High's agricultural department has inaugurated during the past year a service to community farmers. This service was a series of meetings planned by farmers and attended by farmers, and the idea was to discuss problems and opinions concerning agricultural practices. Walter Newlin had the original idea and with the help of about fifteen men, put the plan in action. The plan was successful as proved by the large numbers who attended the meetings. The subjects included Brome Grass, Good Pasture Practices, Improving Pasture Practices and Discussion of Artificial Insemination. State farm leaders assisted by giving new ideas and showing films and slides. The meetings were concluded by a banquet and a pasture field trip. 19

Student Government In our town there is a representative government. This body is the student council. The officers of our respective classes automatically become the members of the council. This year each class has four members in the council and the seventeenth member is an honorary member elected by the previous year's council. The officers of the senior class become the officers of the council. Maurine Johnson The council is a body to which the students may bring their problems or comments of any kind which have anything to do with conditions in our school. Besides filling this capacity, the council participated in the State Convention at Carbondale in April, 1940. Miss Johnson with five delegates, Bill Victor, Bill Fouty, Freda Spencer, Rosemary Weigel, and Jim Wood spent Friday and Saturday getting new ideas and helpful hints for our own council. In the fall of 1940, committees were appointed for the freshman play-day. A new idea was carried out, as the freshmen were divided into groups headed by two seniors. These groups gave stunts before the assembly. An assembly committee was appointed with Rosemary Weigel as chairman. The next convention attended was the district convention at Effingham on December 17, 1940. At this convention Bill Victor was elected the president of the district student council association for next year, and it was decided that next year's convention would be held in our own school.
