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
