They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like a snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like a furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden, and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the canon's mouth. And then the justice. In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut. Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. The Flame Staff of 1942 presents its efforts to you. It has been our purpose to preserve here a picture of our life day by day—a real drama in flesh and bloodl We enjoyed every moment of it—our problems, our joys, our wins, our losses—we've considered it a real privilege to have been a part of it. To you, Miss Virginia Troughton, the 1942 Flame Staff presents the Royal Academy Award for 1942 for distinguished service to C.T.H.S. and the student body thereof. Memories of your thoughtful, kindly manner in dealing with our problems, your interest in each of us individually, and your faith in our ability to cope with life situations are ones which we'll long cherish. We are proud to dedicate this Flame to you. ROYAL ACADEMY AWARD 1942 VIRGINIA TROUGHTON The Curtain Rises on Our Freshman Year THE CHARACTERS DRAMATIS PERSONNAE Here we are! The characters of our great drama! Just as in all groups, we have some tall, some short, some brunettes and some blondes. All in all there are 326 students enrolled in our cast. Of these 326 students we have 160 actors and 166 actresses. You may be surprised to know that the number which comes from non-high districts is 121. Approximately 35 actors and actresses come from rural districts and ride the bus into rehearsals. Among the group there are 13 transfers. No wonder Casey High is teeming with energy and enthusiasm at all times. We have a feeling (we really don't want to be boastful) that the world will be hearing reverberations of our drama for many years to come. 9 LEADING LADIES MATINEE IDOLS 10 THE PLAYERS SENIOR OFFICERS Jo« Sharp Ralph Sharp John McNurlan Jerry Roan Velma Athey—And does she have fun in speech!

When it comes to getting down to business, they can and they will. This year's junior class has shouldered its responsibility of earning money for the annual prom with great zest and enthusiasm. Certainly, the Seniors helped, but they're getting a banquet out of it, aren't they? The Juniors are a happy, loveable lot. As one student from this group said, Just when you feel like killing them, they pop up with some joke or clever remark that makes you want to keel over with laughter! The Seniors say— Yeah, they're plenty smooth; they know just when to turn on the charm! Casey High School will not lack for talent and ability next year. We predict 1943 will be a great year. Yeah, Juniors!

Ninety-eight freshmen break through the doors of old C.T.H.S. to start one of the most thrilling of their high school years! These freshmen were soon to dynamite a great part of the high school activities. Many found places in choir and band. Both boys and girls took advantage of the athletic facilities. Chosen as president was Lee Markwell; vice president, fimmy Goble; secretary, Mary Alice Daniel; treasurer, Virginia Austin. Virginia Austin was transferred during the school year; therefore, her place was ably filled by Phyllis Ann Lewis. The two girls selected from the freshman class as the queen's attendants were Ruth Ann Garner and Eleanor Mumford. Pep wasn't left out; the freshmen were well represented, making up half of the pepperette group. The school year closed with the class of '44 losing only four members. Eighty of the class of '44 returned to start their second year of high school. Again Lee Markwell was elected president with Carl Collins assisting as vice president. Chosen as secretary was Imogene Robinson. After she moved her place was filled by Jim Sharp. The office of treasurer, held by Maurice McDaniel until he moved, was then filled by Martha Prince. Out of the five cheerleaders chosen, two were sophomores, of the Pepperettes, five were sophomores. The class chose Ruth Ann Garner and Imogene Robinson to occupy the honorable positions of queen's attendants. The school year ended finishing half of our high school career.

When the votes had been tabulated, it was found that Max Moore had been elected to serve as class president. The other officers are: Norvan Landis, vice-president; Patty Moody, secretary; and Billie Jean Chrysler, treasurer. At the beginning of the term the freshman population was ninety-eight, while now there remain ninety-three. Of this number, approximately forty-five are graduates of the city grade school. The remaining number are from rural and non-high districts. The freshmen are well represented in extra-curricular activities. The class contains several promising musicians and athletes, who, along with the rest of the class, should form a fine sophomore class next year. • Wilma Abraham Leon Easton Warren Laymon Virginia Ashbly Donald Elliott Delores Legg Max Moore Betty Estes Anna Littlejohn Norvan Landis Wilma Finney Jack Malcom Billie Jean Chrysler Ferrell Fox Wayne Martin Patty Moody Betty Lou Frances Leona McSchooler Arthur Biggs Agnes Freeman Noma Middleton Billy Bishop Don Funk June Monroney Coralie Black Mary Funk Kent Morgan Darrell Brandenburg Martha Lou Gard Charlotte Newlin Harold Briggs Rosemary Garner Burl Ping Rosemary Brown Eugene Gross Leonard Robey Marianna Burnett Viola Grisamore Raul Rowland Paul Burnett Esther Haley Geraldine Rude Freda Callahan Helen Hall Frances Schiver Ruth Callahan Margaret Handley Clara Shanks Charles Carroll Margaret Hartman Ruth Short Mary Lou Carl Lowell Henderson Inez Smith Roberta Chapman Gene Holthouse Howard Snodgrass Frank Chidester Oscar Howe James Snyder Bob Cahoon Roy Jeffers Margaret Snyder John Comer Loleta Jones Bob Stifal Duane Connelly Mary Alice Kibler Loretta Tolle Bob Cox Wanda Kite Robert Turner Robert Curtis Lois Knecht John Tutewiler Harold Cutright Eillen Kusterman Bernard Tuttle Loretta Dill Iris Lacey Josephine Whitworth Dorothy Dixon Don Lansberry Bill Wilson Allen Douglas Jean Doughty Boyd Larson Charles Wright 19 FRESHMEN OUR DIRECTOR E. L. IHRIG 20 Omr Director's Message to the Cast Dear Students: To be or not to be is a somewhat trite expression but one that may aptly be applied in some instances. To be or not to be a success in life depends almost wholly upon each individual. True, family fortune and prestige, breaks, circumstances, etc., all play a part, but the youth that wishes to succeed can rise above all obstacles if he has the will to be. The best place to prepare to overcome these obstacles is in high school. The first prime requisite is to obtain all of the information possible in the years spent there. Learn well that rules, other people and their wishes, tradition, and respect for authority will be a part of your life until you cease to exist. Do all things well, look your best, be courteous, kind and thoughtful of others and hesitate not to do more than is asked of you. You students of C.T.H.S. are Americans and as such are blessed with freedom the same as all other American youth. However, with your fine school grounds and buildings, educational, athletic, and music equipment, and well qualified staff of instructors, you have much more than many American youth. I have a feeling that there are times when you fail to appreciate the privileges that the local taxpayers have provided for you. There is little else more priceless than opportunity and privilege. Each of you has a full measure awaiting you with cooperative faculty members ever ready to help you make the most of each. In closing may I say it has been a real pleasure working with and for you thus far. It is my sincere hope that as the weeks grow into months we will get to know each other better and thus find even more pleasure in working together so that you may make a more useful and happy American citizen. 21 FACULTY Maurine Johnson Good nature and common sense must ever join. Katherine Hartman The first factor in reaching your goal is determination. K. B. Rawlinson He's still a boy at heart. T. C. Tade Commercially speaking, he certainly knows his beans.'' Bertha Heetland For her originality and charm she may have been equalled but never excelled. Harlan Lance People should make much of me, because good men are scarce. Gene Gordon He's a builder. J. O. Hawkins Gabriel, blow your horn. Gene Rose Faithful Forever to the American Observer. Mary Huntington She really has a heart of gold. Flo Drumm Her ready wit makes her loved by all. Barbara Miller Faithful to her work and her friends. Walter Newlin Let them have their oil wells; I'll stick to brome grass. Trudis Rader Her sunny disposition makes friends for her everywhere. Dorothy Bell Modest, sincere, and sweet —a girl you'd like to meet. Eleanor Peters Sweet as the day is long. Reading and Writing and Arithmetic, Put to the Tune of a Hickory Stick C.T.H.S. STAGECREW Pop” Newlin, Miss Peters, and Mr. Gordon hold fort at the new gymnasium. Mr. Newlin is a busy man teaching young America how to farm for the future. Miss Peters is equally busy teaching the future homemakers how to cook and to sew. In addition to learning agriculture and home economics, C.T.H.S. youths are learning consumer education—how to get the most for the money! Mr. Gordon specializes in drawing and woodwork. His students are learning skills they can use regardless of what they plan to do. Mr. Rawlinson, Miss Miller and Mr. Rose, as history instructors, are teaching students how to relate the past to the future— it's fascinating, too, to discover how much of the past is reflected in the present. Coaches Rose and Rawlinson are also helping to build sound bodies by means of regular and systematic physical training. Caesar, Louis XIV, Alsace, Rome—just as you suspected! Foreign languages, Latin and French are taught by Miss Miller and Miss Rader. The broadening influence of knowing the culture of another people is beneficial, and many students find foreign languages stimulating. Chemistry taught by Mary Huntington is a popular scientific study to both boys and girls. Physics apparently appeals most to the boys, as there are rarely very many girls interested. General Science is an introductory science course taught by Miss Hartman. It is designed primarily to show the student what can be studied in the realm of science. Biology is a very popular subject in C.T.H.S., Miss Dorothy Bell is the teacher. In addition to biology Miss Bell also instructs girls physical education classes. The play is the thing at C.T.H.S. Anyone who has seen the splendid plays Bertha Heetland turns out cannot but admire her interest and enthusiasm in play directing. Harlan Lance who coaches debate and speech has made quite a reputation for Casey High with his speech and radio work. Mr. Lance, Miss Heetland and Miss Rader teach all the English classes. Business training—typing, stenography, and bookkeeping are capably taught by Mr. Tade and Miss Drumm. As the classes practically overflow the rooms, we can be assured the students like them. J. O. Hawkins may be alone in his field, music, but he makes his influence felt in the splendid vocal and instrumental groups which he turns out. That's our stage crew, folks! 23 Our Sponsorsss 'The Board of Education The sponsors of the C.T.H.S. are seven community leaders who have so generously given of their time and interest that our life on the set can be useful and preparatory to the “outer stage to which we all hope to be graduated in time. These seven splendid sponsors are: Mr. H. D. McCrory, Mr. J. W. Smith, Mr. Kent Morgan, Mr. C. A. Williams, Dr. R. B. Boyd, Mr. Ronald Elliott, Mr. Carl Carothers. Each sponsor, except the president who holds office for only one year, is elected for three years at which time he retires. Dr. R. B. Boyd is president, and Mr. C. A. Williams is secretary this year. Fortunately for us our sponsors with Mr. Ihrig make changes which they deem necessary each year—their goal always being a better equipped set than the year before, better producers, and better features. C.T.H.S. feels very fortunate in having this able group behind them. 24 We learn to do by doing! We make our own laws! STUDENT COUNCIL Our student council is made up of four representatives from each class, the class officers. A seventeenth member elected the previous year by that council automatically becomes an honorary member. Freda Spencer is this year's honorary member. The C.T.H.S. student council, to which any person, group, or class may bring school problems, is headed by Joe Sharp, president of the senior class and president of the student council. Miss Maurine Johnson is the faculty advisor for this group. On Saturday, October 25, Casey was host to the District Convention and entertained schools from eighteen different counties. At this meeting Bill Victor, a former C.T.H.S. student and district president for this year, presided. Bill Fouty followed in Bill Victor's footsteps—he was elected president for next year. Standing: Max Moore, Jerry Roan. Patty Moody, Norvan Landis. Martha Prince, Bill Fouty, Billie Jean Chrysler. Row seated: John McNurlan. Lee Markwell, Freda Spencer, Maurine Johnson, advisor, Joe Sharp, Imogene Robinson, Ralph Sharp. Seated at table: Pauline Philippi, Carl Collins, Patricia Burnett, Juanita Huffman. 25 To Mr. Fasig— May he always sweep well And quickly respond To the janitor's bell. A friend of all Is lanitor Slim He's always available When one needs him. No stage play would be complete without a clean-up crew. C.T.H.S. is fortunate in having a crew of long standing—namely, Mel Watts, Edgar Fasig, and “Slim Hoyt. Mr. Fasig who arrives on the set at 6:30 spends his first hour chasing that illusive little thing commonly known as dust. By the time the earliest comer opens the door, the Stars and Stripes are already gracefully floating in the morning breeze. Incidentally, Mr. Fasig vs. the Flame Staff was one of the most spectacular lawsuits of the year. Oh, I forgot to tell you! Mr. Fasig merely pressed one of Ivan Sidwell's art contributions to the Flame in his paper press. Shocking, isn't it? Just call Mr. Watts. Students and faculty alike can always depend on Mr. Watts to find out what is wrong with a light socket or a stove. Mr. Watts is an expert on keeping the thermometer pointing at the most comfortable temperature at all times. What would we do without our electrician and key-maker? Swish! Swish! What's that? Oh, that's Slim Hoyt industriously cleaning the new gymnasium. Besides making numerous trips to the old building to check the fueling situation, Mr. Hoyt cleans all the rooms in the new building. Slim is still hard at work when Mr. Fasig arrives. When I asked them their one desire from C.T.H.S. students, everyone of them replied, Why can't they teach these C.T.H.S. students how to hit the wastebasket? 26 27 ATHLETICS What a life! Yes, sir! Not a fellow, nor a girl either, for that matter, fails to recognize the importance of physical fitness! The Casey athletic program is gradually being increased to include more and more students in the extra-curricular athletic activities. This year different home-rooms organized basketball teams which played their games at the noon hour. Basketball isn't the only thing our students are enthusiastic about; you should see them turn out for football games. That reminds us, tennis and track receive their share of popularity, too. Why do C.T.H.S. youths show so much interes in athletics? Perhaps you people who haven't had much experience in the theatre don't realize how important it is to be physically fit. That is one of the biggest reasons everyone is so interested in sports. Then, too, we learn to play the game; we would rather lose than win unfairly. Our players are learning one of the biggest lessons in life—life's a game just as basketball or football is—every man wants to win, but it's most important just to play the game! 28 Yeah! Warriors!

FOOTBALL '41 It's been a bad season for C.T.H.S. on the gridiron. To start off with, the majority of the squad were raw recruits without previous experience against hardened teams. The injuries sustained by Don Galey, Ray Dill, Bud Ballinger and Oliver Hosier added to the check marks against the team. Besides these hindrances Casey was at an additional loss because of the lack of offensive push when placed in scoring positions. We are all looking forward to next year when a more experienced team will be placed in the line-up. Casey. .. 2 Charleston T.

I. League Tournament. Fifteen eastern Illinois schools, namely: Hutsonville, Robinson, Westfield, Palestine, Paris, Charleston, Charleston T. C., Greenup, Marshall, Martinsville, Kansas, Newton, Effingham, and Toledo played. The first E. I. League Tourney was held at Marshall on January 29, 1926. The second tournament was held at Charleston, and the third, in Casey's newly built gym, was the first to be held here. The E. I. tourneys have been held at Casey ever since, and we hope they will continue to be held here. Mr. Ihrig, who was manager of the E. I. Tourney, deserves a great deal of credit for the fine spirit and hospitality which Casey showed during the entire tourney. Sectional Tourney March 10-13 were the dates of the sectional tournament held in the C.T.H.S. gymnasium. This tournament was also under the direction of Mr. Ihrig. Teams from eight schools played here for basketball supremacy in this section of Illinois. Paris walked off with sectional tournament honors! Hats off to Paris! This gave Paris the right to go to the state tourney where they placed second. 32 Sis Boom Bah!!! Casey High School Hah Hah Hah!!! Pepperettes and Cheerleaders In every production there is always one or more persons that help to keep the morale of the group high. This year this particular job was done very nicely by the pepperettes and cheerleaders. This peppy group is led by our one and only Bill Fouty. Bill is the president of his junior class, and he is known as a full ounce of pep. His assistants are four girls - - Iris Rude and Patsy Daughhetee, both of whom we are bidding good-bye in June, were pepperettes before they graduated into cheerleaders; Hazel Glenn and Imogene Robinson are sophomores. The other group has grown rather famous throughout Illinois. It is composed of eight girls—Thelma Finney, Nelda Cooper, seniors; Margaret McGinness, junior; Lois Haney, Nellie List, Ruth Ann Garner, Norma Daughhetee, and Betty Jo Hutton, sophomores—who learn their acts and do rehearsals under the expert direction of Bertha Heetland. These girls perform at the quarters and the halves of the games. Betty Kite, band majorette, is pictured at the right of the page wearing one of the sparkling outfits which the band majorettes appear in for all parades and special occasions. The band and the majorettes were a conspicuous part of our pep program. The Stars'' Keep Fit TENNIS The Casey Township tennis team finished the most successful tennis season in the history of the high school winning 9 and losing only 1 game. In addition the tennis squad won the Clark County Championship, placed second in the State District Tournament and third in the E. I. Tourney. In the state tennis finals at the University of Illinois Paul Cook and Charles Vail lost to McGrath and Ronning of Danville. The following boys were awarded letters: Capt. Charles Vail, Paul Cook, Harry Eumont, Ken Cutler, Ralph Collins, Bill Arney and Jim Goble. Of these boys only Vail and Collins were lost by graduation.

As in the past years the G.A.A. made a very quiet entrance. Like most good plays, the Girls' Athletic Association has divided its year's entire production into three acts—fall, winter, and spring. Each of the three acts is divided into three scenes. Turning to the fall scene we see that is consisted of three major activities—tennis, softball, and soccer. The winter acts were dancing, bowling, and basketball. The predominating scenes in the spring panorama are badminton, archery, tennis, and soft-ball. After the entire production is over, the three greatest actresses will be rewarded with a trip to a recreational camp. Those winners and ace-high athletes are Wilma Swim, Linda Lamb, and Norma Boyd. In the role of club officers, Norma Boyd assumes a conspicuous role, that of president, while Betty Staley acted as vice-president. The G.A.A. has been an active group this year. Early in the year they made money for their organization by selling pencils and later they sponsored a donkey basketball game which delighted a large and enthusiastic group. 35 REUBEN THE HIRED HANLl ttmwmmmm AN 0| f 5N|«i«l0 AflO|RfcnA I rcrK8i« 'S l Ai CASlf f © , tt.fctf AtR'ftt.

Miss Iwana Bartholomew The senior play was the third on the list of the dramatic successes which this class has presented. As it must be in every melodrama, the hero wooed and won his fair lady, but only after much disappointment and difficulty. The villain, posing as a venerable New York doctor, nearly succeeded in having Cecil evicted from the Ridley home. Arthur and Pert, ever true to Cecil whom they loved, stood by her and protected her. As befits a melodrama, Cecil said to the villain as he gasped for his last breath, Yes, I forgive you all. Then Cecil Dare emerged into the sunlight of love and happiness. 38 The Play's the Thing! SKIDDING The junior class play this year was a complete triumph. The whole plot centered about the nomination of Judge James H. Hardy who was running for district judge and was finally nominated to the Supreme Court. The plot thickens a trifle as the judge’s troubles at home became more complex. Two of his daughters left their husbands (temporarily) and the third, besides running for the legislature, was engaged to a handsome New Yorker. Andy Hardy displayed much youthful gaiety throughout the whole play thus enlivening the plot immensely. The characters of the play were as follows: Judge Hardy...... Andy Hardy....... Mother Hardy.... Marion Hardy..... Wayne Trenton III Estelle.......... Myra............. Grandpa Hardy. . Oscar Stubbins. .. Aunt Milly....... ......Paul Phillipi .......Bill Arney Rosemary Barlow ......Betty Staley .......Bill Fouty .......Pat Burnett .... Freda Bowers .....Don Cohoon .... Stephen Reed .. . Pauline Phillipi Words Watch Our Speakers Use Them! SPEECH Words! Words! Words! Millions of them are spoken everyday. The average person feels perfectly capable of speaking without any tutoring, but C.T.H.S. students say it's the most useful course they've ever taken. Mr. Lance, speech instructor, stresses the laboratory method. The classes make use of extemporaneous material which they learn to organize logically. Each speech student is required to take part in two or three speech activities outside of his class activities. Prominent among these out of class activities are plays such as “If Men Played Cards as Women Do” which was given before The Rotary Club and The Lions. Radio and speech have become so important that it is very difficult to separate the two. By use of the public address system the C.T.H.S. speech classes have written their own scripts for two short stories which they dramatized over WBOW. This year three students are entering the sectional speech contest at Newton, March 28, having been passed on the earlier contests because of the superior rating of the Casey speech department. These three—Maxine Perisho, Dewey Moore, Bill Fouty,— are entering the state contest April 23-25 at Champaign as well as the E. I. League speech contest at Charleston on April 25. 40 Let's Talk the Whole Thing Over Debate takes down right with only one member of last year's team back on the squad, this being Dewey Moore. Ralph Sharp, Bill Fouty and Max Moore aptly and efficiently filled the places of last year's experienced debators. This year's team has tasted victory many times, but let us turn time back to last year. Their Debate Squad took first place in the Eastern Illinois Tournament—also placing first in the Gerstmeyer Invitational Tournament. This year's team had a bit of bad luck when Ralph (Furpo) Sharp loafed at the wrong place and was caught in an explosion—thus laying him up in the hospital—putting the team out of several important contests! Further success will be won in the years to come as two of the debators are underclassmen. Left to right: Bill Fouty. Max Moore. Ralph Sharp, Dewey Moore.

Although the club is somewhat smaller than last year, it is still perfectly capable of handling French words. With old French half and half some of us are beginning to wonder if we're learning for naught. Sidney Watt, as president, is as perfectly capable a leader as the secretary-treasurer, Everett Brown. Miss Rader is the club sponsor. THE LATIN CLUB The Latin Club under the direction of Miss Barbara Miller is one of the largest clubs in high school. One of the biggest events of the year is the annual spaghetti supper. Then in May the Roman population goes native, dons its togas and sandals and goes to the Roman banquet. The slaves, the first year students, eagerly look forward to the time when they'll be patricians as the rest. Oh, it's a gay life! Their motto is, of course, When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 42 You'll learn to cook and sew; you're going to like it we know HOME ECONOMICS Girls who wish to learn household duties and catch husbands take the leading roles in the Home Economics Club. The first leading lady for 1942 was Sidney Watt being understudied by Margaret Hawker as secretary and Adabelle Elliott as treasurer. The Home Economics Club stepped into the spotlight several times during the year. In September they sponsored a weiner roast for the new members. Later the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet was held in a buffet style. Once each month a meeting is held. Here helpful advice and personal problems are discussed. Miss Peters was the advisor to the numerous girls who participated in this activity.

Freda Callahan 43 National production depends upon the Future Farmers of America Outstanding among the organized groups at Casey High is the F.F.A. or Future Farmers of America. This group is composed of boys taking agriculture. Walter A. Newlin, ag instructor, is club advisor. The club officers this year are: Franklin Sherwood, vice-president; Carl Collins, secretary-treasurer; and Ivan Sidwell, reporter. Probably the highlight of the club's activities this year was the trip to Chicago made by the agriculture classes, accompanied by Walter Pop Newlin, eight community farmers, and our principal, Mr. Ihrig. Upon arrival in Chicago, the group went to the Swift plant where they saw what went on within. They then went to the enormous Union Stock Yards. The judging contest was next on the list. Here the prospective farmers saw some of the best livestock in the country and pondered over the future when they shall be the proud owners of prize winners. Before returning home, the group “took in some of the many sights in Chicago. They visited the Field Museum and, though a bit foggy, they saw the municipal airport. Upon returning home, the boys had many experiences of which to tell their family and friends. Trips such as this undoubtedly inspire a determination within the boys to equal or surpass the agricultural record of past generations. All in all, this was a year of unequaled success.

We have spent our senior year in preparing a panorama reflecting as much of the C.T.H.S. spirit as it was possible to cram into these 80 pages. On March 20, we gave an assembly program entitled, The Trial of Azmarella Hopingofetchit. This was the first time we had revealed to the student body the theme of this year's Flame. Throughout the year the whole senior class has helped to make the Flame a big success. Special thanks goes to Pop” Newlin and Miss Drumm who sponsored the senior class and whose work during the E. I. League Tourney made this annual possible. We will feel well rewarded for our time if you enjoy reading this book as much as we enjoyed editing it. BROADCASTER Like all great dramas, we must have our newspaper where we can have our reviews, critics' opinions, and messages from the director. The C.T.H.S. Broadcaster” serves that purpose for our drama. For the second year in succession a girl has been chosen editor of our school paper. This year Iwana Bartholomew was selected editor while Dewey Moore ably assisted her as assistant editor. Miss Trudis Rader, a new faculty member, was the advisor. Three special editions were printed during the year, besides the news in the city paper every week. 47 We Could Make Such Beautiful Music Together There once was a group of musicians Who in their life had only one ambition They thrilled every one With the concerts they sung And now it's become a tradition.

CHOIR The 1942 choir played an important role in the music department. They made their first appearance Christmas in the high school assembly. This year the choir has approximately forty-eight voices, which is the voices of three organizations rolled into one. Each year the choir gives a spring concert which delights audiences from far and near. This year our district did not have a district contest, so our seven soloists and one ensemble went to Flora for their district contest. This year the president of the choir was none other than Freda Spencer assisted by Maxine Perisho as vice president and Ruth Chrysler as secretary. 49 Our C.T.H.S. Symphony BAND No production would be complete without a symphony. The High School Band fills this role very nicely. This has been demonstrated to you at football games where strutting Drum Majorettes Maxine Perisho and Betty Kite lead the marching band through their paces. During the Eastern Illinois Basketball Tournament, the band gave one of the best performances given in years. In the spring contests are held, and the band is always well represented. This year the soloists were Clarence Chapman. Dana Lee Redman, Billy Chrysler, Charles Lewis Hayes, John Main, and Eileen Kusterman. This year the band is planning a spring contest which adds to the appeal of the band. Fourth row. left to right: Iris Lacey, Lowel!

Alums Came Home HOMECOMING Many well known profiles were welcomed back to our theatre of C.T.H.S. for a return engagement during our annual homecoming last November 10. Several of the has beens of Casey High even put in an appearance at the popular snake dance the night before the game. The traditional parade was held on the afternoon before the night game. Our queen and her attendants rode proudly down the streets displaying their beautiful costumes. Probably the greatest surprise of the entire celebration came immediately before the game with Martinsville. The queen and her attendants were revealed in a blaze of torchlight. As they neared the exit of the field the queen could be plainly identified as the belle of the senior class, Rosemary Ruffner. Her maids were Wanda Gamer, Melva Brandenburg, Pat Burnett, Ruth Ann Garner, Imogene Robinson, Pat Moody and Billie Jean Chrysler. The novel arrangement and presentation made the homecoming of '41 one of the finest. 53 At The Box Office COMMERCIAL Probably no part of our little theater here at Casey High is more important than the advertisement agency under the able direction of two of our veteran directors, Miss Drum and Mr. Tade. Our theater crew, all Casey High trained, consists of 25 students, all learning Typing II, are the better to advertise our famous play of 1942. Many of these students are up to 65 to 75 words a minute. The Typing I class is made up of 68 would-be typists—won't they make Casey's drama famous? They're already typing 50 words a minute! Shorthand II (who knows when Betty Ulrey or Jackie Whitworth will be secretary to Producer Ihrig?) consists of 12 students. The budding stenographers are in Stenography I where Peggy Moody, Wilma Lamb, and Juanita Luckey are star pupils. 54 Our ScttfDesigners MANUAL TRAINING A favorite in the curriculum of our school is the woodworking course which is very capably taught by Mr. Gordon. In their splendidly equipped shop, the boys first learn mechanical drawing and the use of the various hand and power tools. In the first year the boys also learn the basic principles of the phases of industrial arts. The pieces which are made by the first year students are usually small plaques or small pieces of furniture. Upon entering second year manual training the boys learn to do more detailed mechanical drawings. Here they make larger pieces of furniture, such as chests and beds. The importance of the manual training course is being strongly emphasized by the demand for woodworking skill by the defense industries. 55 Proved in Our Laboratory SCIENCE As I entered the chemistry laboratory I was interested in watching Miss Huntington work on some Flame cuts. The photography department of Casey High is one of the most interesting rooms. At least fifty students every year learn to develop their own pictures. Even the freshmen learn to enlarge pictures. The chemistry class was making hydrogen sulfide. They had opened the drafts throughout the whole building thus sending a terrific smell. In this class the students are exposed to all branches of science. In the physics class they were experimenting with a static machine and our huge football hero, Joe Sharp was unable to stand shocks from it. Reports from Casey High Alumni show that science has helped them much in getting their advancements. Science is one of the main factors in our gigantic National Defense Program. 56 When we were a couple of kids . . NIGHT SCHOOL Wal, look at that hand bill that says 'Go To Night School.' Who'd a thought of it—a night school for us old guys that never got no schoolin' when we was kids. Since this war started they give us old birds a lot of consideration we never got before. Yes, this is true, the younger members of this generation are getting most of the attention; however, older members are having a chance to get an education. Once a week, at our own high school there is an agriculture class where the farmers are told more about the best methods of soil improvement, and the best methods for doing certain routine tasks. Pop brings Mom along, too,— oh, you hadn't heard? Miss Peters, home economics instructor, is telling the ladies how to feed their families better balanced meals even though they are on a budget. Then in the realm of academic subjects, we find Miss Heet-land teaching a course in business English. Mr. Tade and Miss Drumm are teaching stenography and shorthand to larger classes who are either supplementing former training or getting it for the first time. Last but not least in our C.T.H.S. night school curriculum is first aid taught by Gene Rose. You should see the cute outfits they wear to class! Next year if interest continues we can expect an increased number of subjects offered. C.T.H.S. invites everyone to come to night school—it's interesting and practical. 57 At C.T.H.S. a new play, The Class of 1942 , had its premier on Sept. 3 and was scheduled to run until the last of May. After three years of patient work the cast of eighty-four members were qualified to at last tread the boards, and as the curtain arose, it was with great eagerness they awaited their cues to make this production greater than any preceding one. Elected to guide the hopefuls were Joe Sharp as president, ably assisted by Ralph Sharp, with John McNurlan keeping the records and Jerry Roan keeping check on the finances. The publicity of the play was handled by the Broadcaster, with Iwana Bartholomew occupying the editor's chair. The girls again came into the lead when Maxine Perisho became editor of the Flame with Mary Wortman as assistant. Matinee idols Joe Sharp and Hobert Glosser wowed the audiences with their physical powers. Drum majorettes Betty Kite and Maxine Perisho kept the spectators fully occupied with their exhibition baton twirling during the halves of the football games. The senior class is also well represented in the music department. Betty Kite is president of the band with Ralph Furpo Sharp as vice-president. Dark-eyed Freda Spencer is the president of the choir cooperating with Maxine Perisho, who is vice-president. Male leads Ralph Sharp and Dewey Moore have contributed their colloquial accomplishments to the debate team. To lead the athletically inclined girl members, Norma Boyd was selected as president of the G.A.A. To sum it all up, the senior class has given grand performances not only in scholarship, but in extra activities as well. 58 SCHOLASTIC BOLL First Semester 1941 42 The numerical figures following the individual named are arrived at by computing their grades as follows: A—5; B—4; C—3; D—2; E—1; therefore any student with a 5.00 has had a straight A grade for all subjects for the semester. A student with a 4.75 average has had a mixture of A's and B's, etc. Anyone with a 4.5 or better average has done considerably better than average scholastic work and for that reason due credit is here given to those people.

League Literary, Music, and Track Meet. State Speech Meet. Sectional Commerce Meet. MAY— 1 Dear Stars, Just a token (The Junior-Senior Banquet) for remembrance. The Juniors. 2-3 District Tennis Meet. 2 Wabash Valley Track Meet. 10 State District Track Meet. 22 Senior Exams. Exhibit—C.T.H.S. displays work. 24 Baccalaureate. 25-26 End of 2nd semester. Final Exams. 28 Class Night. 29 Commencement. 30 Curtain Falls—Three classes return next year, but the Seniors look toward the future for success. 62 To begin with here are some romances that have been long established in the channels of C.T.H.S. love. Gene Colbert and Viola Hish. Charles Sherman and Rosemary Ruffner. Joe Cassidy and Ruth Tyhurst. Don Galey and Billie Jean Chrysler. Max Moore and Roberta Chapman. Bill Ruffner and Freda Spencer. Leo Gaid and Mildred Shields. Don Hutton and Maxine Perisho. Jim Brown and Peggy Moody. Hap Miller and Betty Staley. Weldon Calvert and “Pat Burnett. Carl Ragon and Mary Fasig. Bob Lacey and Smitty.” To start off with we couldn't think of anybody but Jim Secrest, our straight-haired Romeo of C.T.H.S. His Juliet, we are informed by a reliable source, is none other than June Monroney. As we go to press Jim is paying little attention to a cute little dish from Martinsville. Will Jim eventually make up his mind? Jerry Roan, Strawberry Roan the second, is still resolved to let the girls go their way and he'll go his. Ken Brandenburg, an ardent shutter-bug, has been winning girl friends right and left with his ability to take flattering pictures with his new Lecia. Winnie Mumford has been torn between two evils which are whether to become an old maid for life or to give up all her nights at home. Stanley Poffinbarger and his special type of “gigglegal has caused much commotion along the avenues of femaledom. Daniel Cupid has certainly done his work well this year at C.T.H.S. A grand total of seven couples will have taken the fatal step by next fall. The freshman romance of Max Moore and Roberta Chapman seemed to click along just fine this last semester, but can it last? That remains to be seen. Not all of the infatuations turned out well this year. The past months has seen the crack-xip of many romances, among these are: Malcom and Ashby. Hutton and Prince, Perisho and Marshall. Swearingen and A-l in the army. Chrysler and Dill. With Our Columnists Reisner and Cooper, Zauchary. Perisho and Galey. Wortman and Hayes. M. Moore and Lacey. Huddleston and Mumford. Did you notice the downcast appearance of Hobie Glosser these last few months! Too bad Imogene had to leave Hobie! “Buttercup” Huddleston certainly has had his share of ups and downs of love life. We've counted approximately six “cases. Iwana the girl from Peoria Bartholomew has finally decided to give up her career for a little white cottage. All that remains is to find the right man. Martinsville has been kept rather busy by constant visits by Gene Reisner. Mr. Reisner has not yet decided which of the daughters of this fair city shall one day be the lucky girl. Phyllis Ann Lewis, a truly different girl, still gains the attention of the boys (and girls). Her exotic beauty and poised manner has won her friends all over our campus. Two sophomore gals are gunnin' fer some men. We certainly wish you more luck in '43, Mary Alice and Norma. Oblong still holds Bill Fouty's attention and interest. It is with deep regret that we inform Casey gals that they aren't even in the race. Isn't there something you can do about this, girls? Rosemary Ruffner, who was elected homecoming queen after several stirring speeches by Charlie Sherman, has at last decided to buy all of her gasoline at Sherman's filling station. “Pee-wee Jim Stifal is still looking for his dream girl (someone shorter than he is). You all have heard of glamour girls, sweater girls, oomph girls and what not. So we have termed Lois Tuttle Casey's number one “tsk, tsk girl. Several of the older boys began noticing a cute little freshman sparkler by the name of Marianna Burnett this year. The line forms on the right next year, boys. During Ralph Sharp's stay in the “horse-pistol” he kept in close contact with a certain Marshall junior. Fascinating, isn't she Ralph? Mary Lou Carl and Billie Biggs have met with startling success this past year. Just ask Norvan or Bill. “Pep and “Dude We are sure that you have enjoyed our little column to the fullest extent (that's why we're planning a trip). Your contributions to our Snoopey-Snooper box have been most generous. We realize that several of the notes put in the box were written by you. Of course we're not denying that we wrote a few of the articles in the column, but we're sure that the scandal will be taken in the spirit in which it is given—all in fun. Yours sincerely, Pep Perisho, Dude Moore. 63 1.

I haven't been able to catch my breath since last week end when the class of '42 had its reunion at the State Basketball Tournament in Champaign. It really did my heart good to see Casey trounce our always present foe, Paris. The Casey team looked pretty good; it all took me back to the famous E. I. League Tournaments and the other activities of Casey High School. By the way, Velma Athey was one of the first people I saw as I entered the gym. She was looking positively ravishing in a fox chubby. She went on to tell me that her husband, Cleone Markwell, had been doing marvelously well in the oil business. They struck oil on Bob Brown's farm east of Casey. Incidentally, Bob is a very prosperous farmer and he is specializing in the production of brome grass. I guess all of Pop Newlin's efforts weren't in vain. Bob married Betty Jean Kite, and they have two of the most adorable little boys, Bob and Boyd. Just at the half of the Paris-Casey game I happened to be “cokeing in the lounge when Don Hutton came along. We had quite a visit. I asked Don what he had been doing—was I surprised! He's taking up research and is about to get his Ph.D. from Harvard. I went on to ask him what field he was in—he tells me he's interested in the nervous processes of the love-bug. His famous treatise—How to Tell When You're in Love—has won national acclaim. Don married Maxine Perisho, who has established quite a name for herself on the legimiate stage. They say this falling in love was one of the greatest factors in her rise to fame. No one thought she'd ever stay in love ten minutes ten years ago. Critics say Cornell was good, but Sue Carroll (that's her stage name) is terrific. Nice going there, Don. I might add, Maxine can't boil water without scorching it, according to Don. Fortunately, that last statement wasn't heard by Maxine, who came up with that stunningly dressed career woman, Iwana Bartholomew McNurlan, whose name made headlines only last week when she married Senator John McNurlan. John was responsible, as you remember, for the election of Ralph Sharp for president in 1948. By the way, Iwana started in where Eleanor Roosevelt left off in the writing field. Ralph was unable to attend the reunion, as he was pacing up and down Washington Memorial Hospital waiting for Ralph Watt Sharp III. Oh, I forgot to say he wooed and won that sophisticated, auburn-haired Sidney Watt, the belle of the 1942 class of C.T.H.S. Iwana invited us to Hanley's for a coke when Gene Colbert rushed up with his twins, Jerry and Terry. Poor Genel He looked positively exhausted. His wife, the former Viola Hish, came up just then with the other sets of twins. Tod and Teddy, who are now just four. Gene said he'd rather sell ten quarts of glue than take care of the twins one afternoon. He is employed by the Clarence Edwards Glue Factory, which operates on a twenty-four hour basis. Clarence has made quite a name for himself with the slogan—It Sticks Like a Brother—Clarence is trying to put the same slogan into practice with his ardent courtship of Gloria Cummins. Gloria started out as a label gluer in Clarence's factory—nice work there, “Morning Glory! What a terrific band! We discovered Harold Huddleston playing a hot trombone—I guess he was trying to get our attention. As soon as the band stopped for a breathing spell, he came up to talk with us. He married Wanda Garner, who is singing with his band. Wanda has introduced a new kind of singing which requires the use of the oropharyngeal cavity and the wide use of the obiscularus oris. Harold went on to say that Kenneth Garrett and Leo Gosney were also with his band. They didn't happen to be there then, so I didn't get to talk with them. Harold said Leo was a sad person to see—his whole life was ruined when he heard that Iwana had taken the fatal step. Poor Leo! Kenneth married June Comer who has become one of the leading athletes of the Gymkana. That night James Lee and Joe Sharp had complete control of the microphone at WILL. They interviewed Dewey Moore, who is at the present time Ambassador to Russia. Dewey's book—Psychology for the Stupid— has won him a large moron following. Dewey and his wife, Rosalie Brown Moore, are in the United States visiting friends and relatives. They had dinner that night with Jim and Joe and their charming wives, Ruth Tyhurst Lee and Ruth Chrysler Sharp. The two Ruths are close friends, and spend most of their spare time doing social work in Chicago. Though their homes are in Champaign, their influence is gradually being felt all over the state. We won't be too surprised to hear of a couple of C.T.H.S. 1942 alums in politics. We went to the Inman Hotel in Hobie Glosser's taxi —Hobie has a whole line of Model T taxis, the only one in existence in the U. S. today. Hobie is courting that super-glamour gal, Mary Brandenburg. Mary is planning on becoming an interior decorator—Hobie says she can decorate his place, and that's all. Arriving at the hotel, we were met by the red-cap, who turned out to be Owen Kilborn. Owen surprised us by saying that a number of 1942 students were employed at the Inman. Evelyn Dixon has become one of the leading chefs in the state. Her book—What I Do With Onions—has been given the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. No wonder Charles Montgomery has put on twenty pounds in the last ten years. He and Evelyn seem very happy in their cute little cottage out on Crystal Lake. The next morning we hopped a train for Cleveland where we were met by the Ivan Sidwells. Mrs. Sid-well, the former Rosemary Ruffner, was perfectly charming in a simple sailor suit which she designed herself. Acting as their chauffeur was Jim Secrest. Rosemary and Ivan entertained at dinner made most charming with Ivan's own creation, the Fuzzy-Wuzzy Bear place-cards. The Roans, Jerry and Margaret Hawker Roan, who are now running a dairy, were among the guests. Also present was Everett Brown and his fiancee, Jackie Whitworth. Everett is managing the Cleveland Steel Company; acting as his private secretary is Arlene Simpson. 70 That is the Question After luncheon in Cleveland, we left for Pittsburgh. On the train we happened to meet Bernadine Ruffner and Juanita Luckey, who are now follies girls in the ' Frank McCash Creation of Glamorous Women Corporation,' of Pittsburgh. Frank, according to these beautiful ladies, is quite a show man and a wonderful husband. He married Freda Spencer, whom he has glorified in the Big Broadcast of 1952. Winnie Mumford Reisner and Gene met us at the Pittsburgh station accompanied by Dorothy Kaufmann and Tilford Nebergall. This foursome are partners in the Never-Go-Out electric light globe company. Reba Partlow and Thelma Finney called us at our hotel and asked us over for tea—they are both nurses in the Pittsburgh City Hospital. Thelma says it's plenty exciting, but she can't decide which patient to marry. Reba is head of nurses and is the fiancee of one of the leading Pittsburgh physicians, Stanley Poffinbarger. His specialty is diagnosing thoracic and abdominal disturbances. Bob Mills invited us out to dinner at his night club where Lois Tuttle is one of the leading entertainers. We met Ray Dill, who recently fell heir to four million dollars, and his wife, Mary Lou Wortman Dill there. They just returned from a Mediterranean cruise. It was late that night, but we had to make it to New York the next morning, so we hopped a plane. I was surprised to find Bob Lacey piloting a plane—He really gave us some extra loops we didn't pay for and kept Virginia Tharp, the air stewardess, busy the rest of the trip. New York is quite a spot all right. We discovered that Gerald Miller is running a store which specializes in sportswear for small dogs—Pekinese preferred. His wife, Norma Boyd, is being featured by the Bar K. O. Studio where she is giving radio lessons on how to play tennis. Joe Cassidy and Morris Rennels are co-owners of the studio. They advertise Cassidy's Cootie-Cure Ointment which has sold more than any other product since Lifebuoy soap. We are staying in New York for a few weeks. It is really exciting seeing all these local boys who have gone to the city to make good. Wayne Berry was the biggest surprise to me—He has become New York's Adrian; he designs women's dresses, hats, shoes, and coats. Patsy Daughhetee, in private life, Mrs. Wayne Berry, models her husband's creations. Wayne tells me this fast life is getting him down—his one ambition is to settle down in a vine-covered cottage by the side of the road and raise chickens! 1 ! At the rate Wayne is going, New York will never think of letting him go. Lyle Cunningham and Leo Slater are operating a National Hillways Bus System, consisting of 15,000 buses which run from New York to San Francisco. They say it is really very interesting business, but it's too confining for Lyle. He plans to take his wife, Nelda Cooper, and move to Buenos Aires and start a banana farm. Nelda who is doing some opera work, objects strenuously, but I am afraid she'll just be objecting. Leo is still single. He is looking for a girl who won't wear make-up and so far, he hasn't been able to locate onel Guess what! Paul Haley has become one of the leading dermatologists in Salt Lake City, Utah. He happened to be in New York to a conference of Why Do People Have Moles on Their Noses? He married Mary Graham who helps him in the office—Paul says Mary doesn't have to work, but they hate to be apart, so they both work. Paul is still interested in music— he sings with the Mormon choir in Salt Lake City. Just a home with Morning Glories—like you read about in stories —that old song just describes exactly what I saw in Iris Rude Volk's suburban yard. Kenny is managing the New York Yankees and has an annual income of $50,000 a year. Wealth and position haven't changed them at all. Ray Rude Volk, Kenny's six-year-old son, is following in his famous father's footsteps. They can't keep him out of a gym or a training field! Incidentally, Kenny and Iris named him after their old pal, Ray Dill. Vic Orrell and Gene Shields have a pop-corn mart where they buy and sell tons of popcorn every year. Did you ever hear, It Goes Down Without Washing? That's their famous slogan. Gene has grown six inches since he was in school, but Vic looks just about the same except for his slightly bald dome! They asked us out to a party at the Country Club; they escorted Vivian Hall and Sarah Groves. Vivian and Gene have been operating a popcorn stand on Long Island during the summer, and seem to make money at it. Three weeks in New York went all too fast, but one can't go on forever. Casey may not be the only place under the sun, but it looks best to me! Just as I entered town I met Betty Ulrey Cramer and Mac. They wanted to know about everyone and seemed quite interested when I related the story I'm telling you. Mac and Betty are raising Black Angus cattle and doing a good job of it. Mac's contribution to the last year's International Stock Exposition in Chicago was the winner of the National baby beef championship. Leland Williams has been traveling for Mac. Though it's a hard life. Leland looks great. He says he just loves the pigs and chickens. Leland is the proud father of four husky boys—Leo, Leraas, Lon, and Lemuel. His wife, whom you remember as Thelma Hogue, says she has trouble keeping them from killing each other. Talk about being flabbergasted! Wanda Cooper, Eleanor Gard, Norma Swearingen, and Leta Williams have gone to Chicago to join the Barnum and Bailey's circus. They have already been sent out on the road in the act—Four Ladies and a Frog. Well, Alums, I really must rush! I've a meeting to attend and don't dare be late again. Don't forget next year's reunion. Yours, The Alumni Reporter. 71 When The Stage Was Set 72 This is the way we look off the set! 73 Where Each Must Do His Part 74 In Memoiiam PAUL MARK HALEY Night has come. Gone is the day for life is no more. Lightly trods the Death Angel, and quickly; Still, no life is lost; The body is dust but eternally lives The soul In a haven of triumph Where the Death Angel dares not enter. 75 AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS Complimentary Tickets To G.
