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

SCHOOL BOARD There is one organization which many students do not often think of even though it is one of the most important departments in the management of our high school. 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.
