THE 49ERS FLAME CASEY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL CASEY, ILLINOIS. W SAW S SM , (bodicritiovL 7ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZL A friendly spirit, a sense of humor, a helping hand for others — because these attributes are yours, Mr. Gordon, we, the senior class of 1949, dedicate our Flame to you. $ TWO MR. E. C. GORDON THREE : « • � r Chdmini tivodwtL Mrs. Eleanor Stifal When the Casey Township High School was changed to the Casey Community High School, Mr. D. F. Winters became the superintendent of seventeen schools instead of one. Organizing the Casey unit has been an arduous and tedious task, requiring much patience and long hours of work. However, Mr. Winters, along with the seven loyal unit board members, has handled the situation in a commendable manner. Mrs. Eleanor Stifal is the little lady in the office who does a thousand things a day for both students and faculty. She stands ready to help us locate everything we cannot find, and kindly soothes our wrinkled brows by saying, “I’ll find out for you.” Mr. D. F. Winters Casey Community High School was fortunate in being able to secure Mr. B. E. Wetzel for its principal this year. Mr. Wetzel came to us from Ashley. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois and also obtained his Master’s Degree from there.

All members co-operating with their sponsor have made a fine showing for this year. This organization sponsors a great many of the activities during the year. As an official welcome to all freshmen, the Student Council was in charge of Freshman Frolic Day. The Homecoming events were made a success by the work of the Council, and committees were chosen by the members. Good Will Day, a day of getting acquainted, and school dances are other activities sponsored by the Student Council. On November 12, a few members journeyed to Vandalia, where the convention of the Shelbyville District of the Illinois Association of Students Councils was in session. President .....

A. is a national organization of pupils who study homemaking in junior and senior high schools. We work together for better and happier home life for everyone. We think that helping to make happy homes, now and in the future, is the most important thing that can be done for democracy. This year the Casey Chapter of F. H. A. was very active. An unusually successful watermelon party was sponsored by the club. Also, the Section Rally was held at Casey. Chapters from all the surrounding towns were present to better their knowledge of F. H. A. work. FORTY J'lduhsL JahnwiAu ofc GmaJiiccu First row: Gordon McElwaln. Eugene Kemper. Ivan Patrick. John Galey. Freddie McVey, Bill Maxey. Harold Tag-part. Leon Howard. Bob Comer, Charles Miller.

F. A. has occurred as a result of this replacement. The absence of “Pop” Newlin’s genial personality leaves a vacancy in the hearts of both students and faculty, but Mr. Boyer has completed a good year and is destined to be another fine agriculture teacher. On October 20th, there were twenty-one farmers and sixteen greenhands initiated into the club. This club is a favorite among the boys because it offers such a wide variety of activities such as the following: pest contests, cleaning seeds, livestock shows, swine improvements, grain shows, testing soil and milk, parliamentary contests, father and son banquet, public speaking, officers’ training school, judging contests, parties with the F. H. A., ninth hour assembly program, and the F. F. A. State Convention. FORTY-ONE QhoVL. First row: Carolyn Smith. Mitzi McGlnness, Nancy Pleasants. J. O. Hawkins (director), Jeannine Owens.

The marching band was led by Mitzi McGinness, drum major; Trudy Schuth, trick twirl-er; and Barbara Kline, Margie Kite, Shirley Beeson, and Anita Williams, twirlers. The Band performed a flag raising ceremony before each football game, and at the half many different maneuvers were performed. The band led the annual Homecoming parade. The concert band played for the basketball games during the halves and between games. The sixth annual spring concert was held April 1. Five high schools take part in the concert each year. They are: Martinsville, Marshall, Kansas, Greenup, and Casey. The guest conductor was Niles B. Hovey from the Arthur Jordon Conservatory of Music, Indianapolis, Indiana. Mr. J. O.

Also, a fine array of talent is on hand to fill the vacancies, with: George Wright, Dale Huisin-ga, and Jimmy Williams, who are making strong bids to grab berths on the varsity. For a thriller, the Newton game was a killer-diller, with the Casey boys climbing out from behind a Newton lead, and going into a tie. When, after two overtime periods, they took the game by a 3.9-37 score. The game had the spectators on their feet from the opening toss, until the final whistle.

Soon after the opening, you may see at any time, the boys running inexhaustingly around the track. Last year's track team was probably one of the best in the state. We were undefeated in the dual and triangular. Casey won the Mattoon and Charleston open meet, E. I. League meet, and the district meet. There were nine track men who qualified for the state meet held at Champaign. Seven school records were broken last year, and we know that this year’s team will be even better.

Although injuries cut deep into the starting lineup, they came through with seven wins, one tie, one loss, and one forfeit. An alert backfield, headed by a sturdy line highlighted the season by beating Paris and Robinson, by impressive scores. Total points collected for the season were: Casey 266, opponents 47. Honors of the season went to Don Winn, voted as honorary captain; Carl Cummins, voted as the most valuable player; and the Harris Trophy awarded to Bill Weaver.

His friend, John, and the family were quite eager to help. John offers his secretary as a candidate. Grandma’s candidate was Tootsie Bean who makes wonderful lemon chiffon pie. Grandpa wouldn’t tell that his candidate was actually Vicky. Vicky was a student of the professor’s who had come to apologize to him. It was then she learned of the professor’s need for a wife. Vicky, of course, had a candidate. She suggested Valerie, a southern charmer who makes a fool out of every man she meets. All of the candidates arrived for dinner one evening. This proved to be an exciting dinner party. John came dressed as a woman with three children. He posed as the professor’s long-lost wife. At the end of the play Grandpa’s candidate wins, and the professor finds a wife in the little spitfire Vicky. Mrs. Tingley again did a wonderful job of directing the play.

Mr. Thompson, the pursuer, has brought all of Mr. Bailey’s blood relatives to this old mansion by some fake telegrams. He has killed Mr. Bailey and the only one who can take the stone from h.s body is a blood relative.

The occasion was a watermelon party sponsored by the F. F. A. and the F. H. A. Miss Icenogle and Mr. Boyer proved to be tops in the role of host and hostess. The main attraction of the evening was a huge bontire, around which everyone gathered to sing familiar songs. Relays and games were played with prizes given to the winners. After everyone had had their fill of watermelon they assembled in the gym for the dance. The paity helped to start the school year off with a bang. dLomAajmmc Odtobsuc 22 The annual Homecoming Day was on October 22, 1948. Casey played Charleston City in football and won the game. The parade, consisting of floats from various classes and organizations, took place at one-thirty p. m. Besides the floats there were the Charleston City band, Casey band, football team, the grade school children, and a police escort. Following the parade the crowd gathered at the football field for a pep meeting. After the game the Homecoming Dance took place in the old gym. The town was well decorated with signs and posters for the gala affair. SjclcUsl diawkinA. Ool Sadie Hawkins Day was celebrated by a dance sponsored by the Girls’ Athletic Association.

Is That You? .Now this is what I’m going to do, I’m going to tell you what I borrowed from time, The senior prophecy of the class of ’49. Shirlee Ashley lives a difficult life. She never knows which way to turn, Ken’s way or Jerry’s way. Faye Bedell has raised herself in the world of dancing. She is employed by Arthur Murray. Her pupils will learn one thing—how not to dance. Jerry Beeson has an athletic mind. He will surely follow in Babe Ruth’s footsteps. With Norma Brandenburg’s figure, no one would rate her any lower than a Power’s model. She is going to work in New York City. Dorothy Brewer really surprised me. She’s going to be a shorthand teacher. Her pupils will have to take dictation two hundred words a minute in order to pass the course. Shirley Brown has had the good luck to be the “lady” of the beautiful LeMay mansion on Turkey Run Hill. I learned that her New Year’s Eve parties are quite popular. I guess Jeanne Callahan finally decided to be a mathematician. She has also decided to live alone, because men get on her nerves. I hear that Janis Carlen is quite a lover of animals. She is going to reside, during the golden years of her marriage to Don Greenwell, on their hog farm in Hogue-town. Olin Chapman and Doris Johnson are going to get married and live happily ever after. The stork will leave thirteen children to this union. Tumbling has become quite popular, so Mary Lou Chickadonz and Helen Shiels have decided to have their own act. They have chosen as their instructor, the “tumbling queen,” Marilyn Huisinga. Charles Closson will be fortunate enough to marry a rich and beautiful woman. Lila Cooley will stay, single. Her slogan is “There are better fish in the ocean that have never been caught.” Because of his way with women, Carl Cummins will gain the title of “lover boy Cummins.” At the Roof in Indianapolis, you will find Dena Cutright making a living for her husband and four children. Much to everyone’s disappointment, Ronnie Davis has decided to be an English teacher. When he is well on his way to success he will marry Mary Lou. Neta Estes is fulfilling the ambition of her life. She is a singer with Randel Simpson’s harmonica band. The calm and gentle Esther Finney has decided to become a missionary in the Congo Region of Africa. In a New Orlean’s night club you are likely to run into Jackie Fitzgerald and Celia Hutton. They have their own vaudeville act. Celia does ballet while Jackie tumbles. George Freeland, who has a very fine brain, has now put it to work. He is an aeronautical engineer. As Jo Ann Graham is said to have been a very good bookkeeping student, the Cut-right, Cutright, and Cutright, Inc., will hire her for their head bookkeeper. Rumors are around that Secretary of State Paul Handley has hired Jack Cross, the fastest typist in the country, as his stenographer. A chain of funeral homes has been purchased by Harrell Howard and Bill Neal. They are doing quite well in their new business. Now, Paul Hurt has really done well with his high school education. He’s a “big shot” in a New York steel corporation. Everyone knew that Peggy Johnson would marry Gerald Black, but who would have thought that she would be a “society matron” in a luxurious Decatur apartment. FIFTY-SEVEN (pAOphna (Cont’d) If you listen to the radio, watch television, or even go to the theater once in a while, I’m sure you’ll find that Iline Kib-ler is rising in fame as a comedienne. Margie Kite has an interesting job. She’s a traveling saleswoman for the Moj ud Hosiery Company. Barbara Kline is contemplating starting a heart-breaking club. She always liked that sort of amusement. Darrell Landis, whose success in “Romeo and Juliet” has been tremendous, will be replaced by another leading player, Leon Howard. Eugene List has decided to be a lumberjack in a Canadian lumber camp. Garling Looney has made up his m:nd to marry Donna and settle down in a nice, peaceful country home. I learned that Mitzi McGinness has finally got an engagement ring. Who did it come from ? Why, Pat of course. To be different, I suppose, Wanda Mc-Schoo'.er has chosen to be a housewife. Her home will be in Westfield. Charles Miller’s ambition was to be the principal of C.C.H.S. and it finally came true. He succeeded Mr. Wetzel. This is election year and we are very proud to claim the Senator from Illinois— Keith Millsap. Virginia Mitchell and Dean Ray have just graduated from Eastern State Teachers’ College. They plan to get their master’s degree before they start thinking about the future. With Norma’s great help, Lloyd Montgomery will become a famous historian. They will travel all over the world. Lois Morey has a weakness for people who are late. That is why she was so anxious to be Mr. Wetzel’s secretary. She thought she could help those poor unfortunate people. Marjorie Moore has finally settled down in her own maple house. She seems very content being a professor’s wife. If you ever need a psychologist, be sure to call on Robert Newlin. He’s the best for miles around. Herbert Perisho is thinking seriously about taking up prize fighting. He hopes to be the champion heavyweight, some day. Also in the theater you will find Marjorie Ripstra. She is a modern dancer. In-cidently, Bob Brown is her personal manager. Lyle Ritter plans to settle down in Newton. I wonder why he has chosen that particular town ? Now if you see a bunch of redheads bobbing around, they will be the former Carolyn Smith’s. She has quite a flock. Russell Smith is going to straighten out all of our foreign affairs. He is going to be a minister to Russia. In Hawaii, if you venture that far, you will find Robert Snyder married to a beautiful Hawaiian. On the market everywhere, Ruth Spencer’s book, “My Autobiography,” will be a best seller. Lowell Staley’s education might do him good in some instances, but not in the case of two girls. Elaine has the best chance so far. Helen Strange’s life is going to be filled with much adventure. She and Leon plan to explore the unknown regions in Ethiopia. Marie Swim’s taxi line will really prosper with such employees as Harold Baker and Gilbert Miller working with her. Roberta Tharp plans to make her debut at the Country Club in Cumberland. Gene Weaver will be one of her most prominent admirers. As a surprise to most of us, Bill Weaver has decided to be a hermit in the Bad Lands of South Dakota. Lowell Dean Williams has agreed to take Mr. Tedrick’s place when he retires from Casey High School. Trudy Schuth has succeeded Sonya Henie. She has employed Don Winn as her able assistant. Rosemary Woods, like Esther, has decided to go into mission work. Her mission field will be in India. George Wright is the president of the First National Bank in Chicago. He says the bank is prospering. What do you think ? Now for one of the greatest events in history? Hazel Yealick has just been elected the first woman president of the United States.
