January 22, Precambrain Era, a young geologist is born. He is by chance of fate born above the Louisville Limestone forma- tion in Louisville, Kentucky. This young geologist is Mr. Kasey. I have always enjoyed science and I have never lost my childhood curiosity in the unknown, stated Mr. Kasey. I re- ceived my formal training and experience at Vanderbilt University, B.A. in geology, University of Tennessee, Master in Geolo- gy, and University of Missouri-Columbia Q6 year work not completedlf' Mr. Kasey did not always want to be a teacher. While he was a high school senior he made it clear. I told my friends the last thing I would ever be was a teacher. In fact, he had another profession already picked out. Until the spring of 1970 all of my training and work was directed to being a geologist for life. However, by the fall of 1971 I was teaching at Fox. Everyone who has seen Mr. Kasey's dis- play windows knows of his unique collec- tions. He has collected rocks, fish, medical equipment, and weather equipment from areas throughout the United States, Can- ada, and several European countries. He also receives many from donations, auc- tions, and flea markets. Mr. Kasey's most interesting job is try- ing to find new ways to trick, con- vince, and browbeat students to find their own love for learning science. His students seem to enjoy his experiments the most. Mr. Kasey and his students per- form close to 100 experiments a yearg in- cluding: Frankenstein Lab, Mind Warp Lab, and Time Vaults. Mr. Kasey has his followers and fans. Jeff Heath, senior, said, Mr, Kasey is the coolest teacher in this school. You really miss something if you don't have him. pg- - - 4- --.-------..------..-----------.---.-.--.---..--------- ---- -, . K f . .. s . .. I , 1 t .t-, - - . I s L 't ' s s s 1.
