The FLAME is like a history of our town. It might also be called Who's Who? of Casey High. Memories are elusive things and through the FLAME they can be captured and kept. Now that you have the FLAME in hand, perhaps you will be interested in knowing how it is published. The theme, the type of pictures, and the mounting are chosen. The ideas are given to the printer who makes a dummy, and during this time pictures are being taken. After the dummy is received from the printer, the pictures are organized and listings are made. Soon after this the overwhelming task of writing copy is begun. When the copy is completed and the pictures are all in, Dorothy Robinson says, All there is to do is to sit, wait, hope, and pray. Also, we have our local news sheet with star reporters, ace writers, and Walter Winchells. The BROADCASTER puts the happenings and the students before the eyes of the public every other week. Its editor has the privilege of printing items in the town papers. This year, for the first time, the students are editing a special edition of the BROADCASTER every other week, in cooperation with the CASEY REPORTER. In addition to these special editions, each week the news appears in the CASEY BANNER TIMES. And now for a play by play account of an edition of the BROADCASTER. The assignments are planned and given out by the editor. They are then posted and the different members of the staff get their information during the seventh period. Articles are turned in to the editor, checked, typed, rechecked, and sent to the paper. 26
