Casey High School - Flame Yearbook (Casey, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 62 of the 1947 volume:

_3it mpmortattt - Students and friends paid their last tribute to Mr. T. C. Tade on Tuesday. May 20, 1947, at a memorial service held in the C.T.H.S. new gym. The sixty-three year old teacher had served as head of the commerce department for twenty-seven years when he passed away so suddenly. He had remained loyal to the school despite more attractive offers elsewhere . . . had remained loyal because he loved Casey High School. So many of us shall remember the kindly, pleasant man who endeavored to clarify the mysteries of typing and shorthand for us. We remember how he helped us secure good positions; how patiently he helped us over rough spots; the interest he took in each of his students. We shall never forget the sympathy, kindness, and understanding which he displayed both out of school and in. He was a true teacher. The FLAME 1947 CASEY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL CASEY, ILLINOIS On behalf of the senior class of 1947, we, the Flame Staff, dedicate our edition of the Flame to Mr. Myron Tedrick. Mr. Tedrick joined the C.T.H.S. faculty in 1942. Then in 1945 his patriotism got the best of him, and he enlisted in Uncle Sam’s Navy, where he held the rating of lieutenant j.g. Our athletic director was in service twenty-two months, eleven of which were spent in the European theater of war. Last winter when he returned, C.T.H.S. received him with open arms to his former position. Mr. Tedrick has always given us sound advice on any problem we have brought to him. For this we thank him gratefully. Therefore, to you, Mr. Tedrick, our Flame is dedicated. Two Our School JinowbudqsL (plank. Mr. D. F. Winters, Principal of Casey Township High School, attended the University of Dubuque, where he obtained his B.A. He received his M.A. from the University of Iowa. This is his first year as principal at Casey High. Under the supervision of Mr. Winters our high school is a smooth running organization where faculty and students work together. Casey High School is indeed fortunate in having such a man at its head. He is assisted in the office by Miss Eleanor Mum-ford. The members of the Hoard of Education also donate their time to make C.T.H.S. one of the finest schools in the eastern part of the state.

Eighteen OTT BAY BOB COLLOM JIM TEDRICK foach A, There are three men on the faculty at C.T.H.S. of whom everyone has a right to be proud. They are none other than the three Warrior Chieftains—athletic director, Myron Tedrick; head coach, Oscar Bay; and assistant coach, Robert Collom. Jim Tedrick is not new at Casey High. He came to C.T.H.S. in 1941 and became assistant coach. Three years later he went to the navy, and he came back to Casey last year. Ott Bay, a St. Louis man, was a varsity man in football and track at college. He spent two years of coaching at Robinson and two at Villa Grove before coming to Casey. Bob Collom, a native of Wichita, Kansas, spent his first year of coaching at C.T.H.S. last year, after obtaining his degree at the University of Illinois. Besides doing a swell job of guiding the Warriors the coaches also have other duties. Mr. Bay teaches English; Mr. Tedrick, history; and Mr. Collom has a biology class and the boys’ physical education classes. Twenty (piqAkirL (PjuaJulMu The Pigskin Warriors of Casey High under the guidance of the coaches—Ott Bay, Jim Tedrick, and Bob Collom—had a successful season. The Warriors were defeated by Robinson, Dupo, and Marshall. They scalped Oblong, Martinsville, Palestine, Charleston, Paris, and Charleston T. C. They ended the season with six victories and three defeats. When the annual pigskin banquet rolled around, Ronnie Gross was awarded the Harris Trophy. The most valuable player award was presented to Gene Shiels. Gene Shiels made the first squad of the All-Star Team of the E. I. League. The team of “48” will miss the playing of Ronnie Gross, Gene Shiels, Leslie Montgomery, Dick Smith, Richard Coons, and Max Brandenburg. However, the remaining twelve lettermen will be a good foundation for the on-coming team.

Twenty-two diahdwoojdL dfjuddlsL The mighty Casey Warriors opened the 1946-47 season with many very good prospects. Star Gerald Black was back in top form, and also back were Roy Johnson and Danny Collins from last year’s ten. Casey welcomed the return of Lester McSchooler, an ex-service man and the only senior, who was in best form to make Casey a well-rounded five. The Warriors went out for the scalping and won the county tournament and remain the champions of Clark County. In the first round Casey defeated Martinsville and won from Marshall in the finals. The Warriors entered the E. I. Tournament prepared to scalp their E. I. contenders. In the first round Casey easily defeated Oblong, but the Warriors lost a heartbreaker to Palestine in the quarter-finals and were eliminated. The Warriors have done very well this season, making good showings with top teams in the state and in the E. I. Conference. The Warriors will be looking forward to the season ahead when most of the first ten will return. BEST OF LUCK, WARRIORS! First Row: George Wright, Jim Simpson. Hill Yocum. Hill I.uckey.

A good bunch of fellows went out for track this year: Jerry Beeson, Benny Biggs, Gerald Black, Alfred Brosman, Bob Brown, Roland Carlen, Charles Closson, Danny Collins, Dick Coons, Carl Cummins, Dick Davis, Ronnie Davis, Bob Ettelbrick, Charles Finney, Mickey Hitt, Harrell Howard, Richard Howe, John Kibler, Robert Kusterman, Leslie Montgomery, Lloyd Montgomery, Bill Neal, Dean Ray, Richard Schlicht, Jim Simpson, Dick Smith, Lowell Staley, George Swinford, Bill Weaver, Don Winn, and George Wright. An excellent track team is expected this year, and everyone knows that with the three good managers, Jim Abraham, Delbert Elliot, and Jerry Tyhurst, with the capable leadership of the coaches, and with the cooperative spirit of the Warriors, our track team will really be on the beam. Twenty-six ,5- cl. The officers of the Girls’ Athletic Association of Casey High are Ellen Callahan, president; Beverly Coons, vice-president; Jean Callahan, secretary; Shirley Ashley, treasurer; Jackie Fitzgerald, program chairman. Miss Mary Lee Rodegast sponsor. G.A.A. girls participate in basketball, softball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, and tumbling. In October the club had its initiation party, and in November sponsored an all-school dance, called Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, which was a big success. The girls also sponsored the annual Christmas party for under-privileged children. The G.A.A. has attained its goal this year in establishing better fellowship and understanding among the girls of our school. First Row: Miss Rodegast. Ellen Callahan. Beverly Coons, Jean Callahan.

In the play Diana tried to get her man, Tom Corning, by using her mother’s ideas which were to talk about things a boy likes to do. After this failed, Grandma Thornton offered a little advice; but finally Diana got her man by using her own techniques. CAST Jerry Minton, a teen-ager . .

Thirty Ssmio c film On March 28, 1947, at eight o’clock p. m., the curtain of the new gym went up; and what followed turned out to be one of the most sparkling evenings of entertainment the audience had ever had. We are speaking of nothing else but the senior class play, ADAM’S EVENING. As the plot unfolded we learned that Adam Adams, a young man around thirty (played by Richard Coons), had spent the last evening, during the absence of his wife, with a strange young woman by the name of Rosita (played by Bette Lindsay). The next morning Adam’s young Negro servant (Paul Parcel) warned Adam that his wife had come home and brought with her her mother, Mrs. Bean (Marjorie Carpenter). Gertie, the colored maid (Ellen Callahan) told Mrs. Adams (Betty Mumford) that Adam didn’t get in till four o’clock. In desperation Adam lied that he had been with a sick friend, John Cokes, and that Mr. Cokes had died during the night. Meanwhile, Elmer Green, a crazy taxi driver (Jack Newlin), arrived on the scene to cause plenty of trouble. Also Dr. Fragoni (played by Leland Jones) came to doctor Mrs. Bean. He turned out to be, of all people, Rosita’s husband. To top the whole thing, in walked a real, honest-to-goodness, alive John Cokes (Bill Spencer). He was furious because he had received a funeral wreath. Following him was his long lost wife Maggie (Marjorie Chickadonz). The characters got into a horrible mess while the audience rolled in the aisles. It was a play never to be forgotten; and everyone is convinced that the class of ’47 and Mrs. Tingley, the director, really know how to put on a swell class play. Thirty-one JkunsL StafflL This year’s Flame staff, under the guidance of Miss Anna Louise Manuell, is proud to present the 1947 Flame. The staff was chosen by a faculty committee from petitions filed by seniors. Those chosen and their positions on the staff follow: Meriem Hartman is our editor. Vera Orrell, Phyllis Cooper, Betty Lindsay, Lorene Atkins, and Joanne Goble make up our literary staff. Margie Chickadonz is a very efficient business manager. Those chosen to take care of our Sports Parade are Richard Coons and Leland Jones. Jack Newlin, Paul Parcel, Stanley Winn, and Bill Spencer are responsible for those swell pictures which you find in this year’s Flame. Imogene Cook, Betty Mumford, Ellen Callahan, and Norma Smith take the time to type the material that goes in our yearbook. The drawings throughout the book are contributed by Doris Cohoon, the art editor. Two junior cadets—Raymond Dill and June Cramer—also work on this year’s book, so that next year they will have the knowledge and experience to carry on the work of the Flame. It is the sincere hope of the entire staff that you enjoy this 1947 Flame. First Row: Miss Manuell. June Cramer. Norma Smith, Lorene Atkins, Betty Mumford. Phyllis Cooper, Meriem Hartman.

Meriem Hartman and Ellen Callahan, co-editors, worked with Miss Bradford to improve the paper. The staff, an unusually large one this year, put its journalistic abilities to work and turned out an informative and interesting issue every two weeks. In November, everyone’s thoughts turned to skating, and a skating party was held at the Martinsville rink. This proved to be so successful that another skating party was “cooked up” and held in March. Eight letters were awarded this year to members of the staff who had been active in this organization for two years. BROADCASTER First Row: Loretta Henderson. Iris Huffman. Meriem Hartman.

Thirty-three (Happy, HaAmomsuiA. f The Casey High School A Capella Choir has been an outstanding organization for many years. This year it was composed of some fifty select students who had the talent to make possible a well balanced choir. The choir council for the year included: Dora Mae Pulliam, Gerald Black, Mitzi McGinness, Raymond Henderson, and Maurice Ashley. These students aided Mr. J. 0. Hawkins in planning the activities of the year. The highlights of the year included many engagements. The annual spring concert was given in the high school assembly on April 11. A short concert was given at the Evangelical United Brethren church in observance of the 50th anniversary of the Women’s Club on March 27. On April 24 the choir motored to Robinson for the E. I. League Choral Festival. Mr. J. Russell Paxton of Indianapolis was the guest director. Other engagements such as Christmas caroling, assembly programs, and out of town church concerts have made this past year most successful.

Hawkins, has developed into a fine organization. Strenuous daily rehearsals and fine musicianship have gained a respected reputation for our director, school, and band. A “pep” band was chosen for “pep” meetings. The marching band was led by Mitzi McGinness with Mary Lou Neal, Barbara Kline, and Shirley Schuth as twirlers. Several complicated maneuvers were accomplished. The highlight of the marching season was the homecoming performance. Helen Shiels, De Etta Hildebrand, Margie Kite, Marilyn Snedeker, Marcella Cutright, Wanda Underwood, and La Dora Carlen put in a lot of practice in order to assist as twirlers for the big event. To top off a swell year, the band played in the annual spring festival. The guest conductor for the festival was Mr. Hubert E. Nutt from the Vandercook Music School of Chicago. Thirty-five $aJb. 3 L Mrs. Ava Marie Tingley can again be proud of the speech department as it completes another successful year. The activities of the speech club were many and varied. The members of this department, with the help of the music department, gave a Christmas program for the student body. They also entertained at local clubs with one-act plays, debates, and choral readings. On May 2 the speech club attended a Choral Festival at Charleston. Miss Charlotte Lee again directed the group through the various selections. The officers of the Mask and Gavel Club this year were: Paul Parcel, president; Joanne Goble, vice-president; Leona Lee, secretary; Jackie Fitzgerald, treasurer; and Ernie Brosman, sergeant-at-arms.

The F.H.A. and F.F.A. had a Valentine party in February which everyone enjoyed. In March the girls had a tag day to raise money for their organization. The club plans to send some members to camp this year, and they also plan to make a tour of some businesses in Terre Haute. For those who wanted to learn, noon hour knitting and crocheting were held.

Newlin, who has been here at Casey for the past twenty-seven years. This year’s officers are: President, Leslie Montgomery; vice-president, Nolan Applegate; secretary, Bill Laymon; treasurer, Rex Mauk; and reporter, Paul Huddleston. For the past several years the boys have held a pest contest in which each varment they kill on the farm counts so many points. The boys divide up into two groups and the losing group gives the winners a party. This contest is helpful and also a lot of fun for the boys. The boys this year showed at the Sectional Agricultural Fair at Charleston. They showed sheep and swine, and each brought home several blue ribbons. The members of this organization also clean seed for farmers, and in this way they make most of their money. One of the most worthwhile things the F.F.A. has done this year under its capable sponsor. Mr. Newlin, is to help the Veteran’s Organization on the farm training program. The F.F.A. is truly a worthwhile organization. First Row: Robert Hartman. Leon Howard, Lyle Nash.

Witnessed, THE FLAME STAFF. t • Forty-two Jq Mu 9 l JimsL In the spring season of 1957 we decided to take a trip West and try to find some of our “47” classmates. We stopped at Hutton’s garage to buy a new Dodge from Jim Hutton who is prospering in the business there. We stopped at a filling station and found our attendant to be Stanley Winn, Jr. We drove out on the new four-lane drive and went by the beautiful farm home of Mrs. Evan Perisho, formerly Meriem Hartman. As we drove through Greenup, we saw Marge Carpenter in the ticket booth of the Old Trails Theater. We stopped at a drug store and saw Sarah Winters, who can’t get away from those soda fountains. As we traveled onward, we found a new place of business run by Jack Biggs, Max Brandenburg, and Eugene Schiver. We wondered if they could make a profit in that business. They told us that Bill Brave is recuperating in an Effingham hospital after his bad automobile accident. We decided to visit him and found his nurse to be Norma Smith. Leaving there, we drove on to St. Lous where we spent the night. The proprietor of our hotel was Leon Sharp. As we were sitting in the lobby, Lester McSchooler walked in and several women swooned. We learned he is an All-American basketball star and is still a woman hater. In the dining room we were served by Winifred Leohr. As we were leaving, we saw Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Henderson dining there. Raymond and Phyllis Cooper were married shortly after graduating from high school. They told us of a night club called the Cracker Box owned by Bob Ramsey. Knowing the talents of a few of his classmates he had hired for his entertainers: Richard Coons and the Harper Sisters as vocalists and' Paul Parcel at the piano. The next morning we took a plane to Dallas, Texas. Our pilot was no other than Doris Cohoon who had reached her lifelong ambition. Our airline hostess was Herschelle Fitch. While in Dallas we learned of a large string of oil wells owned by Leslie Montgomery. Visiting a large ranch, we found our host to be Darrell Sherwood, and working for him are Henry Looney, Billy Spencer, and Norval Chapman. They went West together in the summer of ’47. They told us that Charles Finney, who had come West with them, owned a big cattle ranch near Houston. Sitting round the fireplace that night we were surprised to hear the booming voice of Leland Jones, WLS announcer, introducing Dorothy Grissom, vocalist. . After a fond farewell to our old friends in Texas, we took a train to Denver, Colorado. As we bought magazines from the porter, we noticed he was our ’47 classmate, Ronnie Gross. As he stopped and talked, he told us that Helen Kelly was on the train going to Hollywood to become secretary to Mr. Mayo. Getting off the train, we saw Jack Newlin, the traveling salesman for Ry-Krisp, leaving for home. In Denver we attended a boxing match—World Champion vs. Hard Fists Brosman. Yes, it was Ernie, another old classmate. Shopping the next day, we entered a very fashionable ladies’ shop owned by Ellen Callahan. Talking to her, we learned that she had heard from Jane Van Houten Turner, who is living in Indiana. We went down the street and a newspaper office caught our eyes, so we entered to buy a paper. In so doing, we found that Paula Griffith was the editor. While glancing at our paper, we found that Joanne Goble was the first girl to enter Culver Academy, which is in Indiana. We also read that Don Hurt was now Speaker of the House in Washington and Margie Chickadonz was his secretary. Reading on, we notice that Gene Shiels has accepted a position as physics teacher at the University of Illinois. (Continued next page) Forty-three Je niu 9 l (Continued from page 43) From Denver we went on the road to San Francisco and there attended a premier of Ice Follies starring Wilma Graham and Richard Smith. We got a chance to talk to them after the show, and Wilma told us that Wanda Delp Stewart was living in Los Angeles. In San Francisco we also found Phyllis Wilson there on a business trip. Phyllis owns a chain of drug stores now. She told us that Marjorie Swope runs one of these in New York and Betty Duvall runs one in Kansas City. Leaving San Francisco we boarded a new modern train designed by Frank Chid-ester, that’s why physics does for you. In Las Vegas we saw Alan Appleby and Rolan Carlen, who are partners in a large ammunition plant. We also saw Dean Comer who is head foreman of the plant. We attended a fashion show and saw Leona Lee modeling for Powers Agency. While at the show we ran into Lela Chapman and Pat Cunningham who were on a vacation from their jobs in Chicago. They told us that they heard from Betty Mumford Fasig, who lives near an army camp in Texas to be near her husband. They also spoke of Vera Orrell Pogue who is living on a cotton plantation in Alabama. Leaving our good friends we were driving around and noticed a large trucking center owned by Harold Hazen. We went to Mexico, and the first person we saw was Lois Sidwell who is an English teacher in a Mexican school. We went into a large jewelry store to buy souvenirs and met Ruth Fitch who had moved and lived there. We picked up a newspaper and read an interesting article by Ruth McSchooler giving an account of the trip of Marjorie Shanks who had just returned from England. From Mexico we flew to Reno only to find Bette Lindsay getting her fourth divorce! It seems that Imogene Cook was waiting on the divorce to go through, as she was waiting to marry Bette’s divorcee. Still at it girls! Talking to these girls, we find that Lorene Atkins has never married. She never could make up her mind. After seeing all of our Casey classmates, we started the journey homeward to dear old Casey. CLEAN-UP SQUAD The halls and classrooms of C.T.H.S. are kept bright and shining through the efforts of our three very capable janitors: Mellie Watts, Slim Hoyt, and Edgar Fasig. In 1918 Mr. Watts entered the unfinished halls of Casey High School. He is our engineer and keeps the machinery running smoothly. A few years later Mr. Hoyt came along. He works while we sleep, for he is the night man and takes care of the new building. A number of years elapsed before our third janitor, Mr. Fasig, came upon the scene. It was in 1982 that he began the routine of cleaning the old building. From dawn ’til dusk, this trio sweeps, opens lockers, unlocks doors for forgetful teachers, sands down the initials carved on the desks, removes the black marks covering the new gym floor, and the countless odd jobs that are needed to keep our school nice and clean.

Big celebration. 3 Today was a short school day; one of those with eight twenty-minute periods in the morning. 6 Tryouts were held for choir members. 10 The dreaded polio hit Casey, striking one of our grade school friends, Wayne Owens. Tryouts were held for cheerleaders. 11 Negro magician relieved us of classes for a little while today. He was very good at pulling money out of, shall we say, “thin air?” How about that, Mowery? 12 A meeting was held of all rural students planning to ride school busses; also a meeting for all new Speech Club members. 14 We took our squad out for the first time. Dupo beat us 34-0. 20 Freshmen were initiated into our “institution.” Was it worth it, kids? After the initiation, we had a snake dance and a pep meeting, band ’n everything! We beat Oblong 33-0. 23 Names of students on Flame Staff were posted on the bulletin board. 24 Our big shiny new busses skimmed over their routes for the first time today. Everyone had a chance to see where everyone else lived. 27 Our cheerleaders conducted a very good pep meeting. We played Palestine there and came home with a score of 18-7, our favor. 30 The fad of bubble gum is quite popular now. The reason is because one store in town got a box of it, and we sophisticated high school students (being human beings) hoarded it all up from the grade school kiddies. October— 2 First meeting of Speech Club was presided over by Chairman Parcel. Juniors took U. of I. tests. Some fun, huh? 3 Had a pep meeting at 11:45. Simply everyone yelled, and I do mean yelled! Surely the roof raised six inches! 4 Played Marshall there. The bus took several students over. In very fine print I’d like to state that Marshall beat us 27-6. Marshall did have a fine marching band. 8 The end of the first six weeks accompanied by the usual exams. Here we’d like to mention the way the bulletin board has taken on a new life with added color and sparkle. Thanks to Mr. Winters! 9 All marching bands in this vicinity went to Terre Haute for a parade and concert given by the United States Marine Band. Our band, it seems, got their fill (?) of Hershey candy bars on the way home. 10-11 Teachers went to school, but we weren’t there ! (Institute, you know.) 15 Another fad—two different colored socks. 18 We played Paris and beat them, 14-13! Take a bow% squad! 23 Big pep meeting today. C.T.H.S. must be getting a lot of school spirit; any way, our cheering section is greatly improved. 25 We beat Charleston High 29-7. November— 1 We played Charlestown T. C. and beat them 21-6. 8 We beat Martinsville (27-12), who beat Marshall, who beat us. Hey, what is this, anyway? Sadie Hawkin’s day, sponsored by G.A.A. 9 Our Student Council went to Effingham to a joint meeting of the Student Councils in the Shelby-ville district. Many new and good ideas were obtained. 15 Junior class put on a very good comedy play, “A Little Honey.” All did swell. 22 End of second six weeks. My, doesn’t time fly! Broadcaster skating party at Martinsville. A lot of scarlet fever over there. A bus took the staff and their guests over. 23 We were hosts to a game between the Centralia Orphans and the Casey Warriors, our first basketball game, which we lost 59-44. Forty-nine (Diahif Bait 25 Had a Thanksgiving meeting with ministers from churches in charge of the services. 26 A game with Westfield, 72-25 our favor. 27 Our team went to Brownstown for a game, which we won 42-39.

Movie at night on Rose Bowl game. Mr. Tade back to school after being out a week. 18 Senior class had a meeting 6th and 7th; Mr. Winters talked a while, then passed out papers to be filled out. A gentleman from Charleston talked on the college. We played Oblong. 19 Senior class play tryouts. Big turn-out! too bad the cast is so small.
