Casey High School - Flame Yearbook (Casey, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 58 of the 1945 volume:

THE FLAME 1945 CASEY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL CASEY-ILLINOIS CDsjdJuocdLojt, What could be more fitting than to dedicate this year’s Flame, whose theme is built around the “old time days,” to a grand fellow who is an “old-timer” in his own right. We mean, of course, Mr. T. C. Tade, whose name has been familiar at Casey High since ’way back, and whose faithful services to the cause of learning have been an invaluable asset to our school. Mr. Tade first was welcomed to the faculty as a teacher of commerce in March, 1920, which is farther back than most of us can remember. He has sent many a young hopeful student into the field of business with a thorough knowledge of typing, shorthand, or of the other branches of commerce which he is so well qualified to teach. In this length of time, he has seen hundreds of students come and go and in each he has taken a personal interest and has helped them all to become proficient in the skills he teaches. Besides his busy class schedule, Mr. Tade manages to take care of the school’s financial records, which in itself is no small job. At every athletic event, he can be found at his post selling tickets and taking care of the hundred-and-one details that have to do with the financial end of our school functions. Mr. Tade is truly an example of a fine worker, conscious of his obligation to his school and to his profession. It is to you, Mr. Tade, that we dedicate our efforts in producing this yearbook, in humble recognition and appreciation for your years of faithful service to our school. The Editor. MR. T. C. TADE v fcxMJjdtivsL Mr. W. M. Runyon, Principal of Casey Township High School, attended Carthage College and the University of Illinois, where he received both an A.B. and M.S. degree. He is at the present time doing additional work at the University of Illinois on his doctor’s degree. Casey T.H.S. is fortunate in having a man of Mr. Runyon’s integrity and spirit at its head. Under his supervision our school is a smooth running organization where faculty and students work together in a pleasant and happy atmosphere. He is ably assisted in the office by Miss Eleanor Mumford. The school is also fortunate in having seven public-spirited men who give their time and effort as members of the Board of Education. They are: Dr. R. B. Boyd, who is president; C. A. Williams, who is secretary; Ronald Elliott, Edgar Brown, Marion Partlow, J. W. Smith, and Walter Van Dyke. MR. W. M. RUNYON, Principal.

QjumDA, CiAtoAif Ninety-five students reported at C.T.H.S. as freshmen on September 1, 1942. They have come a long way to become this year’s juniors. The officers elected during their freshman year were Bill Lewis, president; Don Scherrinsky, vice-president; Jean Carpenter, secretary; and Wanda Collins, treasurer. Again in ’43 Bill Lewis was elected president. Other officers were Pat Fitzgerald, Joan Short, and Johanna Cramer. As sophomores this class sponsored a dance, won second in the scrap drive, and took active part in all other school activities. Last spring Bill Lewis was elected for a third time as president. Lewis transferred to Sullivan, Illinois, and Pat Fitzgerald was elected to fill the vacancy. Other officers for this year were Dale Robey, vice-president; Joan Short, secretaxw; and Barbara Orndorff, treasurer. This class has always been represented in band, choir, on the Broadcaster Staff and G.A.A. It has also shown prominence in athe’etics. There were six lettermen in football from the junior class this year and seven on the basketball squad. One of the outstanding events of the junior class this year was the annual class play. Under the direction of Mrs. Tingley, this class presented “Yankee Doodle American” on November 17. The Junior class, with the help of their sponsors, were hosts to the Junior-Senior Banquet on April 6. The theme of the banquet was a “circus” and decorations were carried out accordingly. The banquet was a huge success and one ever to be remembered. First row. left to right: Mr. George Cortelyou, sponsor; Wanda Collins. Lola Maxey. Rosemary Snearley. pai Fitzgerald f)ale Robey.

Under the capable leadership of President Ronnie Gross, Vice-President Jim Hutton, Secretary Richard Hamp-sten, and Treasurer Joanne Goble, they have a representation in several organizations, including seventeen members in the band, sixteen members in the choir, several promising athletes, and also several students whose names regularly appear on the scholastic honor roll. Besides that, they have played an active part in the war bond and Red Cross drives and have sponsored some highly successful social events. The total enrollment this year is seventy-one, the girls outnumbering the boys thirty-seven to thirty-four. The sophomore enrollment for the school year of 1943-44 was seventy-two. The officers for that year were: President, Jimmie Hutton; vice-president, Raymond Henderson; secretary, Dickie Berry; and treasurer, Joanne Goble. The class proved its patriotism by contributing five dollars to the Red Cross drive and by helping substantially toward reaching the goal for bond and stamp purchases. Also in that year they were proclaimed winners of the school scrap drive contest. The sophomore class of this year is outstanding for its membership in extra-curricular activities, having a representation in nearly every organization, predominately band, choir, and athletics. Joan Miller, a sophomore, is one of our cheerleaders. On March 28, 1944, the sophomores—then freshmen, played hosts for the first time at an all-school dance, which turned out to be one of the best.

Nineteen J'MAhjm L QlaAA. dthiDhJL As we look into the past we see that almost a year has gone by since we came strolling from three different counties into Casey High School, as freshmen. There were eighty-one of us in number. We spent a few weeks getting acquainted with our new school, friends, teachers, and classmates. We met in the Study dent; Bud Shull, vice-president; Rosalie Carpenter, secretary; dent; Bud Shull, vice-president; Rosalia Carpenter, secretary; and Mary Lou Neal, treasurer. Our advisers are Miss Osborne and Mr. Brady. Since all of us did not have the same desires and ambitions, we entered the various activities we liked best. Ten of us entered the mixed choir, fourteen played instruments in the band, twenty are in the Girls’ Athletic Association, and six boys participated in football and basketball. Several others found their way into the F.F.A. and Latin Club. Mary Lou Neal and Rosalie Carpenter are majorettes. They have marched with the band in all the home games. Two of our classmates, Nina Carrell and Mary Lou McGinness, were chosen as cheerleaders. Loretta Henderson topped the honors with a 5.0 average for the first semester. Those making the honor roll with an average of 4.75 during the first semester were: June Cramer, Raymond Dill, Robert Hartman, Joan Matheny, Shirley Weaver, and Mary Lou McGinness.

Twenty ATHLETICS Left to right: Walter Correll, Max Brady. foadviiu Aji athletic team is usually no better than the coaching staff behind it. In that respect, our school has never been found to be lacking. Our head coach, Mr. Max Brady and our assistant coach, Mr. Walter Correll, have proven their ability as organizers of outstanding teams in the three major competitive sports—football, basketball, and track. Mr. Brady, whose home town is Abingdon, came to Casey High in 1942 to replace Coach Jean Rose. Before coming to Casey, he had coached at various schools in the state after receiving his training at the University of Iowa and Western Illinois State Teachers’ College at Macomb. Besides his duties as coach, Mr. Brady teaches social sciences. Mr. Correll is a newcomer to the faculty of Casey High this year, this being his first position as assistant coach. He received considerable fame on the football team of his alma mater, the University of Illinois, where he prepared for his duties as assistant coach, biology teacher, and boys’ physical education instructor. His home is in Lincoln, Illinois. Twenty-three JooJtbalL The Casey Warriors started cn the gridiron warpath this fall with twelve lettermen. The team was led by two very capable coaches, Max Brady (this being his third year with Casey), and Walter “Buck” Correll. This is Buck’s first year at Casey and his first year at coaching. He has done a swell job. The boys fought hard and courageously throughout every minute of every game, ending the season with eight scalps and one defeat. In the Eastern Illinois Conference, Casey placed second, and sixth in the Wabash Valley Conference, a league of twrenty-eight schools. The Warriors were victorious over Villa Grove, Oblong, Palestine, Marshall, Paris, Charleston, Charleston T. C., and Martinsville. They lost to Robinson, winner of the Wabash Valley Conference. Adding honor to Casey’s name was Captain Don Elliott, who was named left tackle on the Illinois All-State team. Don also was placed on the first team of the Eastern Illinois Conference team and the Wabash Valley Conference team. Other members of the Casey squad who were named on various honorary teams were Burl Ping and Jack Mal-com, who were given honorable mention on the All-State team. Burl Ping, Pat Fitzgerald, and Kent Morgan received honorable mention on the Eastern Illinois All-Star lineup. On the All-Wabash Valley team, Burl Ping was placed as a back on the second team. Pat Fitzgerald was awarded the center position on the third team. Kent Morgan and Jack Malcolm received honorable mention. Lettermen were: Kent Morgan, Boyd Larson, Howard Snodgrass, Harold Briggs, Leonard Robey, Burl Ping, Don Elliott, Paul Beasley, Norvan Landis, Jack Malcolm, Bob LeMay, Richard Callahan, Kenneth Stewart, Richard Myers, Pat Fitzgerald, Dale Robey, and Max Brandenburg. Pat Fitzgerald was elected as next year’s captain. First row. left to right: Howard Snodgrass. Harold Briggs. Bob Stifal. Kent Morgan. Boyd Larson. Don Elliott. Burl Ping, Leonard Itobey.

With a face value as one of the better teams in the Eastern Illinois Conference the Warriors won second place just four points behind Robinson. The Warriors’ scoring power was slashed when Uncle Sam beckoned to two veterans, Burl Ping and Kent Morgan. However, their places were readily filled and the rest of the squad proved their ability. Under the tutorage of Coach Max Brady and Assistant Coach Walter “Buck” Correll, the local cagers totaled 941 points to their opponents’ 801. The Warriors entered three tournaments this year and came out highly rated in two. On January 12, the boys won the Clark County Tourney by defeating Marshall and Martinsville. Then in the Eastern Illinois League Tourney the Warriors won fourth place by drawing a forfeit from Robinson, defeating Martinsville, and losing to Greenup and Charlestown.

In a quadrangular meet with Gertermeyer, Charleston City and Martinsville, the Warriors finished third behind Gertermeyer and Martinsville. Jack Montgomery with a 10 ft. 8 in. vault, and Paul Beasley were outstanding winners. In the Eastern Illinois League meet held at Charleston, Don Elliott threw the discus 124 ft. to win first place. Paul Beasley, Jack Montgomery, Richard Callahan, and the freshman relay team also placed. Remaining meets are the Clark County and District, to be held at Charleston. Twenty-eight % a. a. The officers of our Casey Girls’ Athletic Association are Martha Lou Gard, president; Francis Shiver, vice-president; Marjorie Shanks, secretary; and Johanna Cramer, treasurer. Ramola Perry is point chairman. Miss Holle is sponsor of this organization. This club participates in the following sports: Basketball, softball, soccer, volleyball, archery, and tennis. In the Fall members of the G.A.A. went to Paris for a Play Day. Another Play Day was held in Martinsville in the Spring. During the Christmas holidays, the annual party for the under-privileged children was sponsored by the G.A.A. Several social activities have been held this year. In the Fall a party was held at the park and all freshmen were given a special invitation. The club also had a Halloween party which was a complete success. A combination Home Ec. and G.A.A. party was held in February. This, too, proved to be an evening of merriment. The purpose of the G.A.A. is to promote a greater fellowship and a deeper understanding among the girls of Casey High. Ramola Perry. Martha Lou Gard.

They are Phyllis Coons, Mary Etta Tyler, Imogene Cook. Betty Mumford, Sarah Winters, Mary Lou Neal, Wilma Kibler, and Betty Estes. The Pepperettes performed at several basketball games. Their most successful demonstration was a jumping rope exhibition, given at the Eastern Illinois Tournament. These eight girls, dressed in red and white, gave a very difficult routine in rope-jumping. RAH! RAH! RAH! WARRIORS! Pepperettes Left to right: Imogene Cook, Wilma Kibler, Betty Mum-ford.

Thirty SJtudanL founaL The mainspring behind many extra-curricular activities here at Casey High is an organization composed of all the class officers and known as the Student Council. The sponsor for this group for the past several years has been Miss Maurine Johnson. The activities of this versatile group are many and varied. Since its organization many years ago, the council has been active in planning social events, Red Cross drives, and all patriotic programs which have been undertaken. This year the Red Cross drive, sponsored by Mr. Newlin with the help of the council, netted $169. In 1944, when a bond and stamp drive was held, the results were beyond expectations—$3309.70. The main event of the council’s list of social activities every year is the freshman stunt day which is held a few weeks after the beginning of school. Each of the groups of freshmen are under the direction of members of the Student Council who help plan a stunt for their group to perform at an assembly program. It was the Student Council who sponsored the first all-school dance this year and were in charge of noon-hour dancing each Wednesday for several weeks. The officers for this year were: Max Moore, president; Kent Morgan, vice-president; and Billie Chrysler, secretary-treasurer. When Kent Morgan enlisted in the navy in February, Dale Robey was elected to the office of vice-president for the remainder of the year. The Student Council is a vital part of our life at Casey High and we are proud of its work. First row, left to right: Joan Short. Kent Morgan, Max Moore. Billie Ch’ysler.

Thirty-three JIamsL Staffi- The Flame is a time-honored institution here at Casey High and we have tried to uphold the fine standards of the past in producing this year’s annual despite wartime shortages and other difficulties. With the advent of the war. many curtailments were necessary which affected the size and quality of the books. This year’s staff, with Miss Ardath Short as sponsor, feel that they have made the most of the conditions in producing an annual that is more nearly up to the quality of the pre-war books. Many of you may wonder just what there is to putting out a yearbook. Therefore, we shall give you a brief idea of the staff’s activities throughout the year. First comes the organization of the staff and the appointment of the junior cadets, who are chosen in order that they may carry on the work next year with some knowledge and experience. Soon the photographer goes to work taking senior portraits and organization pictures. Snapshots are collected and prepared for sending to the engraver. Next comes the job of figuring just how long each of these writeups should be and giving assignments, and finally typing the material to send to the printers. There are incidental things to consider—choosing a theme, selecting a cover, and arranging the book. Heading this year’s staff were: Kent Morgan and Max Moore, co-editors; Norvan Landis and Loleta Jones, business managers; Howard Snodgrass, photography editor; and Joan Short and Pat Fitzgerald, junior cadets. Marianna Burnett was appointed to be in charge of typing. It is our sincere hope that all of you, and especially those in the service of our country, will get as much enjoyment in having the Flame as we did in preparing it for you.

Our weekly paper, the Broadcaster, of course. Under the capable leadership of Editor Jack Runyon and Assistant Editor Frances Schiver, the hardworking staff has done an admirable job gathering all the news and seeing that the public is informed of what goes on within these walls. Each week the editor and the Broadcaster sponsor, Miss Mary Ashby, get together to decide what should be in the week’s news, and then assignments are given to the staff members. The results of their efforts are evident each Friday in the Casey Banner Times. Many of the articles of special interest find their way into the Casey Daily Reporter. This year’s staff has proven itself very capable in the field of journalism, which is a new undertaking for most of the sixteen members of the staff. As a reward for their services, members of the Broadcaster are awarded letters after two years’ membership in the organization. Running a school paper is a more difficult job than most people suppose. There are innumerable details to see after, such as making out assignments, proof-reading copy, typing, and worrying whether or not that late assignment will get in to make the deadline. Several special editions were published this year, each of them reflecting the staff’s ability for originality and organization. Besides providing a real service to the school and to the community, the Broadcaster gives students an insight into journalism and may influence many to consider that field for a profession.

The purpose of the club is to better soil conservation, crops, and livestock. This year the Casey chapter has thirty-eight members, all of whom, with the exception of one, live on farms. The officers of the club are: Paul Mitchell, president; Bill Spencer, vice-president; Don Littlejohn, reporter; Bob Stifal, treasurer. Mr. Walter Newlin is sponsor. Numerous field trips were taken during the year to Mr. New-lin’s farm and to farms of the club members. Two educational trips were taken to the experimental field at Toledo and to Frank Beeson’s new lake. Such trips are beneficial to all who participate. During the Fall a pest killing contest was held. Leslie Montgomery was high scorer of the winning team and Charlie Orrell was high scorer for the losers. Each member received points for killing such pests as sparrows, rats, mice, pigeons, hawks, crows, ground hogs, coons, opossums, fox, and blackbirds. First row. left to right: Keith McIOlwaln.

Thirty-six WomsL fccorwmkA The Home Economics Club is an organization for those girls who are in Home Economics classes and for those who have taken Home Economics in the past or show an interest in it. The officers for this year are: Freda Callahan, president; Lela Finney, vice-president; Mary Alice Kibler, treasurer; and Marjorie Shanks, secretary. Miss Virginia Osborne is the sponsor. The officers serve for one year and new officers are elected from the club membership at the end of the year to serve for the next school year. The club membership for this year numbers thirty-two. It is affiliated with the state and national organizations of Home Economics Clubs. The club meets after school every Tuesday of the month. These meetings are for the discussion of the club business, to plan parties and carry on activities related to Home Economics classes. This year the club sponsored a Mother and Daughter Tea and had a style show to give the girls’ mothers an opportunity to see what all of the girls had accomplished in their classes. In December the club enjoyed a Christmas party. The feature of this event was a gift exchange. On Valentine’s day the girls met with the girls of the G.A.A. for an evening of “fun and eats For practical experience the girls served the Football Banquet in December and the Junior-Senior Banquet in April.

(flub Early in the school year a group of Latin students and scholars who had completed the Latin course met in the assembly to organize a Latin Club, which they felt was needed. They chose for it’s name “Inter Nos,” which means “among us.” The motto is “Excelsior.” The colors, quite naturally, are purple and gold. The purpose of “Inter Nos” is to further an interest in the Latin language and Roman ways among students interested in Latin and to create a bond of fellowship for them. The officers: Richard Hampsten .... Consul (President) Pat Fitzgerald .... Proconsul (Vice-President) Joan Short...............................Censor (Secretary) Neva Bower.............................Quaestor (Treasurer) were chosen to head the organization. The constitution and by-laws, which set forth the rules for the club, were unanimously approved by the members. Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month in the Home Ec. room. After school on that day. those who are able run over to see what will happen. Pat Fitzgerald, ex-officio program chairman, appoints an entertainment committee for each month’s meeting. These try to present an interesting program on some phase of Latin and Roman life. Sometimes prizes are awarded to the lucky winners of the games, and occasionally refreshments are served. Highlights for the “annus scholae” of the members of this new organization are Saturnalia, which is the Roman precedent for Christmas, and the big Roman banquet at the end of the year, at which everyone is expected to satisfy a thoroughly American appetite with the food of a festive Roman “cena.” First row, left to right: Miss Emma Jane Gentry, adviser; Neva Bower.

Hawkins, has developed into one of the finest bands in southern Illinois. Strenuous daily rehearsals, good musicianship, and frequent appearance at local athletic events have gained an enviable reputation for our outstanding director, band, and our high school. The peppy marching band was led by Eileen Kusterman with Mary Lou Neal and Rosalie Carpenter as strutting twirlers. This well-trained organization provided snappy music for all athletic as well as many civic functions. The band executed many intricate maneuvers while stepping to lively field marches. Following the old custom, the smartly uniformed band led the happy, noisy homecoming parade through the downtown district. A small “pep” band, chosen from the regular concert group, was organized to entertain the students at all of the “pep” meetings. The band performed at all home basketball and football games. Guests from neighboring towns were entertained with popular selections and familiar marches. The band’s greatest work was done during the exciting Eastern Illinois Tournament. At that time the members of the band demonstrated superb endurance in playing so many numbers in such a short period of time. The most spectacular event of the entire musical season was the colorful Spring Band Festival held in the spacious C.T.H.S. gymnasium Friday, March 23. This striking event was the climax of the most successful season in our band history. The Kansas, Martinsville. Marshall, Greenup, and Casey high school bands combined to present a fine concert under the direction of Mr. Clarence Sawhill, assistant conductor of the great University of Illinois band. This was the second year that the five-school band festival was successfully conducted. The festival provided an opportunity for perfection of individual musicianship and the making of musical acquaintances and friendships. Favorite band selections include: “The Trooper,” “Hosts of Freedom,” “Klaxon,” “Tiger Rag,” “The Booster,” “Entrance and March of the Peers,” and “The Student Prince Overture.” First row. left to light: Billie Jean Chrysler.

Forty (fhoVL Interest in choral work in Casey High School increases each year. More and more students are taking advantage o! the great opportunities offered by our modern music department. Furthermore, the vocal organization has become very popular as well as useful. The choir is prepared to entertain with various types of music including sacred, patriotic, classical, and novelty. I The A Capella Choir is composed of forty-eight mixed voices. The mem- bership of this group includes only the students who by tryouts show some ability and skill. It is imperative to possess a smooth singing voice that will blend easily with other voices. Much rehearsal time is spent in chord blending, vowel singing, and scale vocalization in order to obtain richer tone quality. The chorus has many members with three r four years experience in A Capella singing. They have found that the real secret of choir success lies in perfect cooperation. Mr. Hawkins has been extremely patient in drilling the group on the fundamental principles of good group singing. He also maintains that solo and ensemble experience develop certain necessary qualities in the singer. Therefore, tin- girls' sextette organized, practiced, and became popular by singing special numbers on various programs. The choir made its first public appearance of the season December 22 before the student assembly. The program was made up entirely of Christmas numbers. Then, after the vacation, the choir worked industriously to perfect selections for tin- music program of tin- Clark County Teachers institute which was held at Casey, February 28. The concert included an appropriate selection of sacred, patriotic and novelty numbers which the teachers found most entertaining. The greatest success of the entire season was the special Choir Festival held at Charleston. April 27. This featured a huge choir i nearly seven hundred student choir members under the expert direction t tin- nationally known conductor and composer, Mr. Noble Cain of Chicago, Sixteen Eastern Illinois high school choirs combined to sing beautiful and stirring selections like tin thrilling “Ode to America.” 'Hi - regular C.T.H.S.
