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

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

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.
