SophomoJuL tfla A' Jti Jto iip The class of 1947 has proven itself as one of the most active in several years. 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.

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.

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.
