Twenty-two ATHLETICS Twenty-tlm e .. Coaches.. This year Casey High welcomed two new coaches, Oscar Bay, head coach, and Robert Col-lom, assistant coach. Mr. Bay, a Missouri man with Missourian principles, came here last fall from Villa Grove. He started on his athletic career at Cleveland High School in St. Louis. He spent his first year of college at Moberly Jr. College and obtained his degree from Culver-Stockton College where he was a varsity track and football man. Mr. Bay coached his first two years at Robinson as an assistant, and the last two years was head of athletics at Villa Grove. He has been an able history and English instructor as well as developer of winning athletic teams. Robert Collom, new assistant Warrior Chieftain, started off on his coaching career with a very commendable season in athletics. He is from Wichita, Kansas, where he became interested in athletics and chose coaching as his career. He attended Wichita University for three years and then transferred to the University of Illinois from which he received his degree. While attending Wichita University, he was outstanding in basketball and swimming. Besides his duties as assistant coach, Mr. Collom teaches biology and boys’ physical education. Twenty-five ... Casey Warriors ♦ ♦ ♦ Led by two new coaches, Ott Bay and Robert Collom, the Warriors of 1945-46 presented Casey High with a very successful season. After the last whistle had been blown, the Warriors had won six games, tied two, and lost one. This placed the Warriors third in the Eastern Illinois Conference and fifth in the Wabash Valley. Warriors ran up large scores against Villa Grove, Oblong, Palestine, Marshall, Charleston T.C., and Martinsville. They tied Charleston City and Paris and lost to Robinson. Adding to Casey’s fame was the placing of several Casey players on All-Star teams. In the Illinois All-State line-up, Captain Pat Fitzgerald was named center and Robey, Comer, Callahan, and Stewart were given honorable mention. In the Eastern Illinois Conference on the first team, Dale Robey was chosen as quarterback, Richard Callahan as end, and Captain Fitzgerald as the pivot man. Jack Comer was given honorable mention as halfback on the second team and Kenny Stewart was placed at guard on the third team. Bob LeMay, end, and Richard Myers, guard, received honorable mention. At the annual banquet, Pat Fitzgerald received the “Harris Trophy,” and Richard Callahan was awarded the “Most Valuable Player Award.” The squad voted Max Brandenburg as next year’s captain. Casey High will miss the great playing of 13 senior lettermen— Richard Callahan, Pat Fitzgerald, Dale Robey, Kenneth Stewart, Jack Comer, Richard Myers, Alan Ernest, Bob LeMay, Maurice Fox, James Abraham, Bill Brandenburg, Bill Kilborn, and Don Simpson. The remaining Warriors led by Captain Brandenburg should field a team of which Casey will be proud.

League schools participated in this event. This group was under the excellent leadership of Mr. George W. Howerton, head of the Vocal Department at Northwestern University and prominent guest conductor. Citizens of Casey and the surrounding communities were again entertained by the annual Spring Concert. In it were featured several solos by students under the direction of Mr. Emil Tafflinger, noted voice teacher.

Hawkins, has developed into one of the finest bands in southern Illinois. Strenuous daily rehearsals, good musicianship, and frequent appearances at local athletic events have gained a respected reputation for our outstanding director, band, and high school. The band was led by Mitzi McGinness with Mary Lou Neal and Barbara Kline as twirlers. This well-trained trio got some helpful instructions from William Earl Weaver, former drum major of Casey. The band executed complicated maneuvers while stepping to lively field marches. Following the traditional custom, the band led the homecoming parade through the downtown district. A “pep” band was chosen to play at “pep” meetings. The most spectacular event of the entire musical season was the Spring Band Festival held in the C.T.H.S. gymnasium, March 22. This event was the climax of the most successful year 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. David Bennett, a foremost band arranger.

Thirty-seven ♦ ♦ ♦ Student Council ♦ ♦ ♦ Looking in the door of room eleven, we find the Student Council, an organization behind many activities held at Casey High. With Miss Maurine Johnson as adviser, this organization sponsored the annual Freshman Frolic. This is an official welcome to all incoming students, and again this year it proved to be very successful. The Student Council also sponsored an all-school dance which was a big hit. A committee of students chosen by the Council planned and carried out the first Homecoming Dance in many years. Dale Robey is president of this year’s Student Council. Other officers are: Richard Callahan, vice-president, and Johanna Cramer, secretary-treasurer. The officers of each class compose this group. This year’s Council is very efficient in playing its part in our school system. Klrst row: Ronny Gloss, Jackie Fitzgerald. Johanna Ciamer. Jean Carpenter. Dora May Pulliam. Joanne Goble.

Broadcaster • ♦ ♦ This year the Broadcaster was successfully supervised by Miss Mary Ashby. Richard Myers, editor, and Dick Berry, assistant editor, capably filled their positions. The staff, consisting of twenty students, was constantly on its toes for bits of information. Each week “Dutch” gave the staff members their assignments for the coming week. These assignments were posted on the bulletin board. A weekly meeting was held on Monday evening. The issues were discussed and ways for improving them were suggested. The weekly news was published in the Casey Banner Times, and special editions were edited each month for the benefit of the students of C.T.H.S. In order to receive a letter for Broadcaster work, one has to serve two years as a reporter or officer. The editor and the assistant editor are elected by the staff. We congratulate the Broadcaster sponsor, officers, and members for having done a fine job this term, and we know they have worked hard to complete such a successful year.

The members clean seed for the farmers of the surrounding county at a minimum charge, and sponsor a pest contest each year in which its members divide up, and so many points are given for each pest they trap or kill. The winners of the contest have a feed at the expense of the losers, and the person having killed the most pests gets a prize. The F.F.A. is sponsored by Mr. Walter Newlin, head of the agriculture department of C.T.H.S. In order to be a member of this club one must be enrolled in agriculture or have taken it in the past. The F.F.A. has an evening school for any farmers or persons interested in attending. The main topic is “Soil Conservation,” and there are also numerous other problems discussed. This school has been quite successful and has had an average attendance of fifty-six per session. The F.F.A. takes several trips throughout the year. Members visit the Indianapolis stockyard and packing plant, and attend the International Fat Stock and Grain Show in Chicago. While in Chicago, they take in the Horse Show, the Field Museum, the Aquarium, and the Municipal Airport. The F.F.A. is truly a worthwhile organization.

Forty ♦ ♦ ♦ Home Economics Club ♦ ♦ ♦ The last Thursday in every month the “Stir and Stitch” Club met. There were twenty-nine members in our club this year. Miss Jean Siegelin, sponsor, and officers, Faye Callahan, president; Wilma Kibler, vice-president; Joan Matheny, treasurer; and Rachel Wilson, secretary, have finished a very successful year. The purpose of the meetings was to discuss club business and plan parties. This year the club had a Christmas party after school. Games were played and gift exchanges were made. In the fall many new members joined the club. A meeting was held for the initiation and installation of the new members. President Faye Callahan was chosen editor of the News Letter for Section 14 of the Illinois Future Homemakers of America. This was considered quite an honor, and she did a fine job. In the spring a style show was presented to give the mothers an idea of the work the students had done. Hats off! Here come the Future Homemakers of C.T.H.S. Front row. left to right: Joan Matheny.

The ticket sales showed the largest audience ever attending a Junior Class Play here! When Betty Lindsay, as Alice, and Tony, the boss’ son, Leland Jones, fell in love “just like in the movies,” the calm of the Sycamore family was disturbed as she tried to change her eccentric family to meet the standards of the Kirby’s.

The entire cast, under the able direction of Mrs. Tingley, put. in hours of study and rehearsals to make this a very successful production. The players were carefully selected not only for ability but suitability to character as well to make an outstanding performance. Billy Wood as Vincent Q. Dodson, the bangling detective, delighted the audience in an uproarious comedy role as did Barbara Orndorff as Millie the chorus girl, and Barbara Johns as Miss Whittaker, the child psychologist. Johanna Cramer and Don Underwood were assigned the leading roles, and Jack Runyon and Pat Fitzgerald contributed the heavier dramatic moments. Other members of the cast were Neva Bower, Jean Carpenter, and Joan Short. Sound and stage managers were Norma Law and Velda Blankenbaker. Advertisement of the play was handled by Richard Myers. “The Hidden Enemy,” though filled with moments of suspense and excitement, was without the customary gruesomeness and the story was well-knit and thrilling. The effects used were clever and unusual. The senior class was proud to present “The Hidden Enemy” as its annual play. Front row', loft to right: Neva Bower, Bill Wood. Second row: Mrs. Tingley.

Speech Club ♦ ♦ ♦ The Speech Department, under the leadership of Mrs. Ava Marie Tingley, has had a very successful year. Its full schedule has included: Putting on the Junior and Senior class plays, giving talks about the various teams at the E. I. League tournament, and giving many readings before local clubs. During the course of the year the Speech Club has put on three one-act plays. The Speech Department has spent quite a bit of time on choral reading. This group made one public appearance before the assembly. This was good practice in advance for the speech tournament at Charleston which the group attended. The Speech Club held monthly meetings at which programs were prepai'ed and presented for the enjoyment of the members. This year there are about twenty-five letters to be presented to those members who have been most active in the club. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Front row. left to right: Billy Wood, Bob Barkhurst.
