RUNYON Principal Dear Students: This year our country and its allies are faced with the gigantic task of saving the freedoms of the world. It is in that spirit that we, as a high school, should carry on. It is realized that upon the shoulders of modern youth will fall the solution of many of the problems of the future—-problems which our generation failed to solve. It is hoped that the training you receive in this and similar institutions will develop you sufficiently for life’s turbulent battle. Needless to say that our generation has great faith in you. With the coming of victory will also come its responsibilities. This is your opportunity to be sufficiently prepared to take your proper place in life. My one admonition is to make the best of it. You students of Casey are fortunate to live in a community which represents the spirit of freedom in America. This community has been far-sighted enough to provide advantages that far surpass the average in America. Students, let's show our continued appreciation by being the best citizens possible. Sincerely, W. M. Runyon. 4 The Victory Flame Top row. left to right—Walter Van Dyke. R. B. Boyd, president, H. D. McCrory. Ronald Elliott. Bottom row, left to right—J. W. Smith. Carl Carothcrs. C. A.

That organization is the Casey High School Board of Education. The board is always striving to give us better equipment and new improvements to make a better school. The board is made up of seven community leaders, each elected for three years, except for the president, who retires each year. We are fortunate this year in having a very fine group of business men of the community as members of the board. With their varied professions and many interests, they really do a wonderful job of managing our school. The members this year are Dr. R. B. Boyd, president, C. A. Williams, secretary, Carl Carothers, Ronald Elliott. Walter VanDyke, John Smith, and Herbert McCrory. This year's board has had several difficult situations to meet. One of these problems was the hiring of a number of new teachers. However, under the leadership of President Boyd, they have fulfilled their responsibilities with splendid ability. Besides this, they have done all they could to give us the things we want and need in our high school. They do things that change our school, but it is always a change for the better. The students of C.T.H.S. owe a great deal of appreciation to the Casey High School Board of Education for their splendid work in giving us a swell faculty, our fine equipment, and in all, our excellent high school. Yes. we do thank the board very much for the interest they have shown in us and their progressive efforts to improve our school, give us a better education, and make us better citizens.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1939, the doors of Casey High welcomed eighty-three freshmen within the halls of knowledge. Although the class was not so large, they began to take their places rapidly in Casey High. The class officers were soon elected. They were as follows: President, Ken- neth Cutler: Vice-President, Paul Cook: and Secretary-Treasurer, Betty Staley. Fifteen boys went out for athletics. Several musically minded members joined band and choir. Some of them became adjusted quickly as we can tell by the honor roll. High honors: Pauline Philippi. Honors: Bill Arney. Melva Brandenburg, Bill Fouty, Juanita Hoffman and Betty Staley. At Homecoming the beauty of the freshmen began to show; the attendants were Betty Staley and Martha Ruffner. At the beginning of their sophomore year, seventy-four shy, quiet students came back. The officers they chose were as follows: President, Bill Fouty: Vice-President, Pauline Philippi: Secretary, Juanita Huffman: and Treasurer, Melva Brandenburg. Finding places in clubs and organizations they go through Casey High. The Homecoming attendants this year were Melva Brandenburg and Mabel Hunt. When the school opened in 1941, sixty-eight students returned as juniors. The class elections resulted as follows: President. Bill Fouty: Vice-President. Pat Burnett: Secretary, Pauline Philippi, and Treasurer. Juanita Huffman. They began to show that they could do business by giving a top class play and then making money for their successful patriotic banquet. When Homecoming time came. Pat Burnett and Melva Brandenburg represented the class. As the curtain rises on the sixty-five seniors, we see Pauline Philippi as President: Juanita Huffman, Vice-President: Secretary. Mary Fasig: and Treasurer, Paul Philippi. The queen for our patriotic homecoming was the new beauty of the class, Alice Lash-brook. Four years passed quickly; these seniors will soon be taking their places in a war-torn world where we hope they will have as much success as they have had in Casey High. 8 The Victory Flame S E N I 0 R S BILL ARNEY Latin Club 1-2-3-4: Band I: Choir I-2-3-4: Sextet 3: Male Chorus 2-3: Flame Staff 4: Junior Class Play 3: Honor Roll 1 -2-3-4: Football 1-2-3-4: Ba;ketball 1-2-3-4: Tennis 1-2-3-4; Freshman Class Play 1: Harris Football Award 4.

The Victory Flame 13 PROPHECY Pop” Newlin decided on a second honeymoon for himself and his wife since the children were in summer school and working. He also thought that he might advance his study on brome grass in the surrounding country. On his trip he took notes; he saw many of the class of '43. and so we pass his notes on to you. May 30, 1953. We started early for Indianapolis to see the 500-mile Speedway Classic. Again Pup McDonald was the winner, making it his third consecutive win. We stayed all night at the Claypool Hotel. The elevator boy turned out to be Gerald Hurt. May 3 1. Gladys wanted to go to the top of the Soldiers' and Sailors’ Monument. The man running the lift was Harry Eumont. His ambition was to fly, but 314 feet, 6 inches is as high as the lift goes: hence that is as high as Harry has ever been. Pearl Athey collected our 25 cent fees for our ride to the top. We went to the Hawthorn Room for dinner. It is owned by Leon Reeder: the head-waitress was Betty Yocom: and Birdie Chapman and Lucille Thomas do the cooking, which is delicous. We stayed another night at the Claypool. A party was going on the floor above us. We stood it until 3:30 a. m.; then I investigated and found Norm Ulrey. Bud Ballinger. Ralph Sharp, and Charles Sherman in some sort of card game—but I won't go into that. They are some of Indianapolis’ most prominent businessmen. Norm Ulrey invited us out to his place of business. The Southern Mansion. He and Jackie have owned it for six years and business keeps getting better. They own a lovely home on the north side with swimming pool, tennis courts, and what-have-you. Buddy Ballinger, or Harold as his collegues now call him. owns the Riverside Roller Rink and the New Coliseum Ice Rink. He told us to come to either one any time, and he gave us a pass. He was quite safe in giving me a pass, for if I ever passed in. I would probably pass out. and not on two feet. Ralph Sharp is one of the leading criminal lawyers. He said we might come to court if we wished, and that he was due at 9:00 a. m. We didn't wish to go but we thanked him. anyway. Charles Sherman works in the office of the Ohio Oil Company. He has gone right up from office boy to assistant to the head man. His head woman of course is a former C. T. H. S. secretary! And speaking of secretaries. Wilma Gehl is Charlie’s secretary. She has been very efficient all of her four years there. June 1. On our way on toward the east, we stopped in Newcastle for lunch at a very nice nice restaurant. The cashier was Rosemary Barlow. We learned that she and her husband, Charles Perkins, have been running it for almost five years. They bought it through Reed U Burcham, dealers in real estate. We had dinner in a swanky place. Barbara Gehl was cigarette girl there. She said the east was OK. but “Go west, young man. go west.” We stayed all night at Cabin Inn east of Newcastle. Don Cohoon and Russel Comer operate the Inn for a man in New York. I believe his name was Bill Howe: he owns a string of them all over the country. June 2. Scenery beautiful: we drove all day. We stopped at a service station for gas and oil check up, and who should pull along side but Bertha Heetland. She was going to see her husband who is a Lt. General in the United States Army. June 3. In Dayton: Gladys did some shopping in one of the leading stores. The glove clerk was Olive Edwards: she worked her way up from stock girl. The stock girl now is Thelma Washburn. June 4. We spent the day in Columbus. We bowled a few games at a new alley there. I threw one ball just a little hard and sooner than the pin boy moved; I caught his leg. I looked twice and then recognized him: it was Bill Speakman. The owner is Doctor Paul Cook, and his assistant is Melva Brandenburg. While we were there, we saw the world's champion bowler. Rose Sprague. 14 The Victory Flame PROPHECY June 5. We enjoyed the scenery of Ohio. June 6. We spent all day sight-seeing in Toledo and took a ride in a boat on Lake Erie. The name of the boat was Billie. The captain was Don Galey. He really guides her course. There was an orchestra aboard for dancing. It was Ennis Frazier's orchestra, featuring Sar-etta Van Houten and Bill Fouty as vocalists. We bought some magazines: Gladys bought one which is a popular woman’s magazine edited by Pat Burnett. June 7. The Windy City, Chicago, in all its glory was our next stop. We spent today on the beach, and it happened to be the day of choosing Miss Chicago: her name was Martha Searls. June 8. Went to WGN to hear a broadcast. We heard the ladies' daily hour by Maurine Scott, who is known as the gabbiest woman in radio, or anywhere, as a matter of fact. June 9. We went to the Aragon to see Dick Jergens and the second Castles dancing team. Ruby Dill and Paul Philippi. They were the dancing team that started the new dance Rippy Zippy Zog.” It has become a nation-wide hit in high school and college circles. June 10. Again we traveled all day with our destination as Springfield. June 11. Today we saw Betty Yanaway: she is now secretary to the governor. She informed us that Bob Stevens and Jim Rue are following Lincoln's footsteps there by practicing law. We ran on to Betty Staley, who was in the capital at the request of the governor. She is quite important because of just winning the women's state championship tennis match in singles; her doubles partner is Linda Lamb. Bill Arney was in Springfield on business about his Airline, one of the largest in the country. His head hostess is Ladonna Fitch. June 12. On to St. Louis. First we went to the zoo where we found Gene Hill, caretaker of the monkeys, and Dorothy Hawker selling peanuts at the peanut stand in the zoo. We went to the Sportsman’s Park: the owner of the Cardinals is Wendell Daughhetee. June 13. Went to see a rodeo from the West. June Weaver was the singing star of the show. Adabelle Elliott was the champion bronco rider. Dorothy Harper with her accordion, accompanied by the trio of the golden west, Lillian Mumford. Peggy Moody, and Mary Fasig. made a great hit in St. Louis. This trio has written many songs which they have made famous from coast to coast. June 14. We went to the theatre: the ticket taker was Mildred Shiels; she and Wilma Lamb room toogether. Wilma is cashier in an A. P. Super Market. We visited a St. Louis high school and found the principal to be Miss Philippi: Juanita Huffman is P. E. teacher there. Freda Bower is a leading home interior decorator: Margaret McGinness is her seamstress. They seam to have a thriving business. We went to the hospital to visit an old friend who is ill. There we ran on to Mable Hunt and Margaret Tyler, both graduate nurses of Barnes Hospital in St. Louis. Helen Ragon operates an exquisite Beauty Salon in the downtown area. She received special recognition from The Max Factor Company and the 1952 Beauty Salon award. We met Dorothy Hawker on the street. It was her lunch hour so we all had lunch together: she's a photographer now. She said she had just received a letter from Alice Lash- brook, who is living in San Diego: her husband is a sailor. Francis Wright had just been visiting here from Martinsville, where she and her husband run the theatre. June 15. And now home to Casey: home sweet home, there's nothing like it. Away from the sooty” cities with their smoke clouded skies. Yes. this is God's country and brome grass.

MYRON TEDRICK Assistant Coach CH EERLEADERS � Betty Hutton. Hazel Glenn. Norma Daughhettee 22 The Victory Flame FOOTBALL The fighting Warriors of 1 942 finished a very successful season with a record of six wins, two defeats, and one tie. The Warriors finished in third berth in the E. I. League. In the opening game the Warriors toured to Charleston to nip Charleston T. C. by a 13-7 margin. With one game safely tucked away, the Warriors tore into the Nokomis eleven and came out on the top end of a 1 2-0 score. With the memory of two victories, the Warriors went to Palestine and nosed them out by a 14-13 margin. To prove that their last game was not a happen so.” the Warriors crushed the Oblong eleven 45-6. Then came the game between the Warriors and the Robinson Maroons, which ended in a 6-6 deadlock. Paris was then beaten to the tune of 40-7. Hopes for the Casey eleven were high, but they were finally tripped by a strong Charleston City team by a narrow margin of 7-0. The morale of the Warriors was still good, for they beat Martinsville 19-13. Thanksgiving Day, the Warriors were beaten by a good Marshall team to the score of 13-26. Thus, the curtains were drawn and the Warriors had done their job. We are sure that next year's team will miss the great playing of Don Galey. Bud Ballinger. Bull Arney. Leon Reeder. Norm Ulrey. Bill Speakman. and cocaptains. Charles Sherman and Roland McDonald. We are proud of the Warriors and their record for they have kept the torch of Fame still burning.

BASKETBALL The Warriors of Casey had a fairly successful season this year, better than their record of seventeen victories and eleven defeats indicates. They won the Clark County Tournament, placed second in the Kansas Invitational, and fourth in the Eastern Illinois League Tourney. They played well at times, the best games being played against Kansas, the third time; Charleston, in tht E. I.: and Robinson. They also played two good games against Paris, although they were defeated by them. There were also some low points in the season, these coming against Hutsonville in the E. I. and Kansas in the Kansas Tourney. You might say that Casey's record doesn’t look so impressive to you, but look at the competition they have faced: Paris rated second in the state and East St. Louis. Kansas, Palestine, and Flora all receiving honorable mention at the time they defeated us. That leaves only four defeats at the hands of unrated teams, and the Warriors gained revenge for two of these and also from Kansas. The second team did all right by itself, too, winning ten and losing three; two of these were by two points, so Casey fans have something to look forward to. The first ten this year was composed of six seniors, namely: Paul Cook. Bud Ballinger, Don Galey, Charles Sherman, Harry Eumont. and Bill Arney; two juniors; Lee Markwell and Jim Sharp: and two sophomores: Kent Morgan and Burl Ping. There was no captain this year, a different one being picked for each game. The honorary captain selected by the team at the close of the season was Bud Ballinger. If that formidable foe, Paris, wasn’t in this section of the state, those Fighting Warriors of Casey might have been one of the Sweet-Sixteen this year. Coaches Brady and Tedrick together with the entire team deserve a lot of credit. 24 The Victory Flame TENNIS First row, left to right—Kent Morgan. Lee Ulrey, Harry Eumont. Jim Goble.
