Casey High School - Flame Yearbook (Casey, IL)

Page 7 text:

 On this way is our town, Casey. It's a nice town. It has a good high school, too, which all we kids call our town also. The school’s run on about the same plan as Casey is, with Mr. Buckler as the most honorable mayor, and the board of education as the city council. I guess the teachers are almost like the Chamber of Commerce, always telling how good school is and how good for us. We're the citizens of Our Town, and we have clubs and sports and movies, just as grown-ups do in Casey. Then, too, we have a small student government of our own, which sits in with ideas on how things ought to be managed. We call it the student council and elect our representatives to it, just as someday we’ll be electing aldermen. If you happen to come through some Wednesday, you can really get the low-down on our gossip and doings from our town paper, THE BROADCASTER. It takes the place of the old back fence. Now upon entering Our Town, if you’re new around here, about the best place to head for is Mr. Buckler's office or Miss Troughton's sanctum, the library. They can tell you about all you need to know. Most any time you can beat it to the assembly, or town-meeting place, and find anybody you're looking for, if he’s not any place else. It seems as if the main job in Our Town is to make its citizens the kind that the world wants. While you're around Casey, ask about the fellows who lived in Our Town four or five years and see if folks don't say they're pretty useful and law-abiding citizens. OUR TOWN
