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

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
