Presented by the Senior Class of I Drummer Township High School n Gibson City, Illinois ff 1' 'k 4' 4 Declicotion We, the seniors of 1943, dedicate our annual to the youth of today. We, who are ourselves the youth, realize and foresee the trials in taking the final step into a world of hope or despair, happiness or grief, failure or success. To the classes yet to pass through Drum- mer we give a word of encouragement toward the fulfilling of tgr ambitions and desires. Youth today has a particular need of un- derstanding and encouragement. Our pres- ent World is in a turmoil and will take time to be set aright. We, the youth, will soon be in a position to be influential among the governing and the governed. At the present our most important thought must be prepara- tion. Our time and energy spent learning and achieving as much knowledge as possible win he one of the dominant factors in the shaping of the prosperity and happiness of the world. i 1-.Si 1' iv Ir ' + -at w 1 - YAAAA-,.,p,,,,,,,, ,.....,..A...4,.,-... -....-..- ----AM -- I N X '..3B 3 , -.xulllulllnw W, 7, . -- -.llquijw We, the Youth As we pass from generation to generation, It is we who make up this mighty nation.

S is simply for our school, which in the heart remains. R. A. E. Oh. for a Tongue to Tell! Drummer has a trophy case, a nice looking one, too. I It holds so many secrets, ones I wish I knew. Every day a young fellow, on that case leisurely leans Whispering sweet nothings to a Missy in her teens. Many romances there have grown, others nevermore we will K- X see. Us EAM In that case forever they'Il lie. Safely hidden there they will be. THOSE WHO KNOW We who are safe in the homeland Can't realize the vicious way Those Axis parties fight like mod, Fiercer as night turns to day, But our doughboys know their treachery, And we'lI block their tackle, too. We must have faith for a world wide peace And pray that our boys will come through. ' -Rachael johnson. Reminiscence I wish I knew words enough, The simple hearty kind, To tell you every happy wish Drummer brings to mind. I don't know words enough for that, But I can tell you this: 2 All the pleasures and joys of Drummer You wouldn't want to miss. --Dorothy Lappin Bob Ferri Basketball l, 2, 3, Football l, 2, 3, -4, Baseball l, 2, 3, 4, Track l, 2.

H. S. graduate, is now the official handywoman of Drummer. She is on the job from morning to night answering ques- tions, typing letters and stenciis, mimeographing exams, selling tickets, and performing other handy tasks about the school. She also acts as cashier in the cafeteria at noons. The class of '43 gives three rousing cheers to Miss Spry! The World's Best Fixer-Clarence Poplett Do any of you recall the tournament where they had to get a ladder out to change the names on the s:ore board of the different teams? Cur score board is a duplicate of theirs, and all because of a guyi dubbed 'Charlie with a rigging of ropes' and pulleys, our tallest ladder might cs well have spent Friday basketball nights being Mortimer Snerd. And of course you remember the part of the senior play that sounded as if the Banner Blue had moved about a mile east and was going to roll off the stage. Again, Clarence came through-and the results from the Gallop Poll showed that our Mr. Poplett disappointed the people only in that Jesse james did not rob his train. As you all know, Clarence's accomplishments are innumerable be- cause he is always wliling to help and really enjoys doing for others. His shadow igiven memoryl would surely miss half his good deeds. Though we all secretly admit that any committee which the big I has served on was undoubtedly self supporting in ideas, effort, and originality, still usually Mr. Poplett's suggestions were mentioned by us on Thanksgiving Day. In the last four years, we of the senior class have so enjoyed his helpful hints and story swapping .that it is not possible to convey on paper the sincerity of our friendship for Clarence. Best wishes and a long life to him! The Oldest Member This year the annual staff on behalf of the entire school desires to pay tribute to the oldest member of Drummer. Since some of you gentle readers may be in doubt as to the person we mean, permit us to intro- duce Bert Poplett, one of our janitors. He has been employed at Drum- mer Township High School for over twenty-five years. We all feel grate- ful to him for the numerous things he does so cheerfully around the school. Here's a toast to you, Bert, and may you continue to brighten the atmosphere of the school for many years to come as you have in the past! . o S ET' '10 X 'X V1 CTIVITIES I 1 I 1 I I I ,1 . . l The Student Council 1 i Due to the fact that our. country faces a crisis never known before in history, the i943 student council held a large responsibility in helping the school body in the war effort. . , Mary Diehl, drama club representative, was elected president of the council.

Among the new meln- bers received into the club were Donald Hudson and Clifford Phillips. For recreation the boys played the night school a basketball game. The F. F, boys won. Due to tre food shortage, the usual annual banquet was omittled in 1943. ' From all indications the members are doing all they can for a qulck victory. Altogether they have pledged five to six hundred dollars for vilar bonds. V awards were issued to all members who increased the produc- tion of hogs, beef, and other kinds of livestock. Some have producedlas much as three hundred per cent more than formerly. At the county F. F.,A. show in Melvin last September, Glenn Bradd, Harvey Rutledge, and james Summers received awards amounting to thirty-six dollars. During the last year a total of five thousand one hundred eighty-nine dollars and twenty- cight cents was cleared on all projects. i In the spring a tour of each member's project was made. All exhibits were in good condition, and the boys cooperated extensively to prodwce more and better projects. All of the club collected scrap, and they have extended all efforts to a speedy victory.

On April IS, much of Drummer's musical ability was displayed when the members of the choral organizations gave a Spring Concert to take the place of the contests which the choruses enter each year. At this time numbers were sung by both the girls' and boys' glee clubs, theimixed chorus, and the sextette. I This year Drummer was fortunate in having a g new membei who showed unusual talent--Earl Sixt, who graduated in June. Earl played a licorice stick in the band, was a very fine bass, and played the, violin beautifully. .WX ,- if 4' I Q, 4: ls! Z . - I 1 ,. L X C., 1 J: ra t Q 7 '31 avfgfiz X nf! ,K .X Q,-2 .

The sextette, composed of Darlene Love, Verona Anderson, Eleanor Beck, Mary Diehl, Lois Barrow, and Mary V.

Their outstanding talent was shown by their excelent singing- which was presented on Patrons' Night, at he spring can- Cert, and on several other programs. Outstanding were the tenor solos'of Conrad Kibble, who sang on many occasions. ' There were twenty-four regular members who met every Tuesday clnd Thursday to increase the musical interest of the class. A large amount, of this interest can be attributed to the patience and hard work of their capable director, Miss Johnson, and to the accompanist, Miss Margqret Jean Cary.

Barton, adviser and director of the Drama ,, Club, announced that the American Theater Wing had been extended to include amateur theatrical clubs. The American Theater Wing is a branch of the Stage Door Canteen which is made up of professional stage and radio groups who donate part of their time to performing for soldiers in camps all over the country. They also give benefits for the United Service Organ- ization. The Wing suggested that amateur clubs, from high schoolers to community players, ,send in port of the box office receipts of one of their productions to the Stage Door Canteen for use in providing recreation and entertainment for soldiers.

D A ,iii- 'ff fs Q i x i' lx TNG WHERE'S THE FIRE? zu' ' l On Friday, ,November l2, l942, the Drummer Drama Club presented I I ,, J Where's the Fire? --the first play of the season. This comedy was so ex- il citing that the audience never knew a dull moment during the entire even- . x X N i l If ing. lt was the story of the Matthews family who were spending the sum- mer in the mountains. Kay and Jerry, the young people, were in an QUTO- mobile accident, and they also. took out a marriage license. Ethel, Kay's mother, tried to explain to her that the situation would cause unpleasant gossip, but Kay insisted upon joking about the entire affair. The mother proved to them what can happen in a situation such as this by illuustrat- ing from a barely escaped elopement in her own youth thc fact that Where there's smoke there's fire. Kay, believing that Carlton Craig, an artist who was vacationing at the hotel, was the man with whom her mother almost eloped, wired her father to come home at once. When jim arrived, his faith in his wife shaken, things almost reached the point of tragedy. The children's friends were present, and Ethel's repu- tation hung in the balance until Grndma saved the situation by some clever lying. When Ethel revealed the fact that she was teaching Kay a lesson, Jim was convinced that it was typical summer resort gossip-all smoke and no fire. Added interest was attached to the production of this play because twenty-five dollars of the money taken in from the sale of tickets was given to the American Theater Wing for the use of entertainment for the boys in the service.

ATHLETICS Football Drummer Ends '43 Season With Second Place Berth Although the Henselmen scored 176 points to their opponents' 42, they finished second in the Wauseca League with one defeat, at the hands of Watseka I8-6. The boys played one of their best games that night, but due to the fact that our opponents played better and our best lineman, Sam Barrow, was out of the game, we lost a thrill which costlus the cham- pionship. During the season Drummer won a total of eight games losing only one. , The season started with Drummer being scored upon only twice in the first four games with Rantoul, Paxton, Monticello, Gilman and then hittfng two hard teams, Milford and Watseka, winning the first I9-I2 and losing the second bv a similar score I8-6. During the season many factors paved the way to victory. The hard blocking and tackling of Sam Barrow, Luster Acree, and Happy Hanson gave our line a solid support for the back fieldmen on defense and trouble to the opponents' backfield on defense. 3 , Our runnning was executed by the hard all round performance of Rutledge who proved a vital clock in the machine to victory. Also a vital ground gainer was Eob Eonnen, who was ably supported by Ed Robertson. Altogether the Greyhounds failed in the attempt for the crown, suc- cess was ours for a golden season with eight victories to our credit. 'AX Wi 4' . Q5 ,,k qi ' .

Track Season of 1943 Although the track schedule or ,the year, gue to gas shortage, showed only two games at home ,many boys participated in this spring event. Under the capable leadership of Coach Paul Hensel such stars as Pete Hud- son, hurdler, high jumper, and 440 man, Garnet Thompson, miler, Luster Acree, shot put, Luster Acree and George Wieczorek, discus, dominated the field of track. Pete has been on the track team since his freshman year, and for the last two years has been captain. Luster Acree along with Bill Bryant showed their best by throwing the iron pill. George Wieczorek and Mike Davis handled the high jump, Bob Bon- nen was the man at the pole vault, and Ed Robertson did the broad jump.... The meets this season were with Onarga Military, and Leroy at home, Onarga Military, Cullom, Rantoul, Rantoul iWauseca meetl, District in Monticello, State in Champaign, away.

'. . .Aff --. ,--gig, I I ' E Athletzcs or Victor This year more than ever before, Drummer was mainly interested in the body building program suggested by the army for the boys who will soon be in the service. I ln every gym class, army exercises were worked on along with basket- ball playing and regular gym procedure given for the course. Coach Hen- sel told each group that to help in body building every boy should ppss the following requirements: To push up, run a mile, ten chin ups, fqeman's carry, climb rope, over the bar, high jump four feet, broad jump ,fifteen feet. After successfully mastering these drills, he would receive a certifi- cate of body building membership. The plan was a trmendous success, for every boy tried his best to have such an honor bestowed upon him. The re- quirements were completed by Pete Hudson, George Wieczorek, andi Harry Harm in a very short order, and later many more boys followed ini their' path. Thus if Drummer boys enter the service now, the percentage of fail- ures in the physical test will be decreased tremendously from army drills given in the gymnasium work.

In addition to this, ten girls took part in the state-wide basket shooting tournament cnd mode a fine record. The officers for this year were: president--Pat Robertson, vice presi- dent--Mary Virginia Potts, secretary-Kay Salyards, treasurer-Margaret Jean Cory.

They can obtain these points by keeping health rules for a period of eight weeks, participating in intramurals, good posture, scholarship, sportsmanship, heart examination earn seventy-six additional points in hygene, partici- pate in some team actively for eight hours. About twenty of the eighty members received the first year award. This was a successful year for the organization, and next year we'll expect bigger things from these G. A. A. girls. Girls' Intramural Sports GIRLS' INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL GAMES The freshmen-sophomore basketball game was held January 26. The silly sophs took the lead in the beginning and held it throughout, The score was I9-8. The captains were Donna Dibble and Mary Lou Swallow, freshmen, Dorothy Beck and Lois Barrow, sophomores. Both teams showed good sportsmanship. We promise you'll hear a lot more about about these freshies next year. L On Wednesday, ,January 27, the junori and senior girls met for an ex- citing game. The score was 30-20, in favor of the seniors. l The juniors, making most of their points by their quick shooting, were captained by Delores Smith and Wanda Suter. The senior captains were Mary Alice Ping and Mary Virginia Potts. I' The basketball season ended this year with the seniors being the champs. The girls felt quite proud since this was the second consecutive year for their triumph. The team included: Mary Alice Ping lcaptainl, Mary Virginia Potts lco-captainl, Verona Anderson, Eleanor Beck, Mar- garet Carey, Mary Diehl, Margaret Fasking, Betty K, Jordan, Dorothy Lappin, Rachael johnson, Marie Riblet. i This was a close and exciting game, but the sopholhnores were unable to overcome the quickness and the skill of the senior girlls. The sophomores, however, possess a fast team and have a good chance for the championship next year. V ' l VOLLEYBALL i Wednesday, April 7, G. A.

One of the feature attractions was the Dixie Dandy Circus Septem- ber l5. Mr. Ralph Hawkins thrilled the audience with Trixie, the won- der dog who could count, and Eobo the monkey, the only one in the world able to walk on stilts six feet high. Mr. Hawkins explained to the students how to teach their pets simple tricks. The performance proved to be very interesting and exciting. An extremely unusual program was given by Giovanni Sperando to the Drummer students October l9. The production was based upon his life history. He was born in Sicily, but at the age of fifteen Mr. Sper- ando came to America. Three years later he was in a train accident, losina his left arm and right hand. He proved to his audience that this handicap did not stop his ambition to make something of himself. Mr. Sperando has degrees from three colleges, speaks six languages, and has become an accomplished composer and singer. Thursday, November 24, the Wade Trio visited Drummer. Their program of semi-classical and modern music was greatly enjoyed by all, but their arrangements of Shine On, Harvest Moon , Stardust , and White Christmas were especially favored by the students. The cssembly was held spellbound by Captain J. P. O'Donovan's Medical Science Tuesday, November l5. Using the students from the audience as his victims, Captain O'Donovan showed by means of hypno- tism that under his influence the nerve cells could be made numb and 'hnis his pwtient when struck by a pin felt no pain. Also it was proved by Captain O'Donovan that he could put a person under his influence and that the subject, when awakened, would not see objects that were visible to others. unior-Senior Prom After hours of hard work, worry, and planning, May l4, the night of the annual junior-Senior Prom, was on hand. Many juniors and seniors floated into the gaily decorated gym on the arms of theirf escorts to the enzhanting music of Hank Messer. All enjoyed themselves and danced to such Tunes as Black Magic and Stardust. With the patriotic closing of the Star-Spangled Banner the gay couples departed laughingly on their journey home. The success of the prom was due to Virginia Carter, the junior class president, and the following committees: Decoration--Patty Potts fchairmanig Darlene Hutchcraft, Leona Zimmerman, Margaret Thompson, Bill Silverstein, Tom Mohr, Marion Baxter, Bob Bryant, and Glen Molen. Entertainment-Margaret Storm ichairmani, Darlene Love, Mar- garet Fritschel, Kay Salyards, Pat Robertson, Doug Hager, Bill Bob Phillips, and John Carson. Refreshment--Peggy Bowning lchairmanig Emily Sawyer, Augs- purger twins, and Wanda Suter. I l i Valedictorian and Salutatorian The honor of valedictorian of the class of 1943 was earned by Mary Diehl. Mary was president of the Drummer Drama Clubiamd a member of the annual staff. She was active in the girls' glee club, the band, the mixed chorus, and the girls' sextette. Mary Virginia Potts has been named salutatorian. Mary Virginia wcs editor of the MAROON AND WHITE and 0 member of the Qiiiiiiei staff. She was also prominent in the drama club, the band, mixed chorus, and the sextette. The names of both girls appeared constantly on the character and szholarship honor roll, and both students were elected to the National Honor Society. A , In Recognition A hard job has been well done by Pauline Zimmerman, who has had charge of nearly all of the ticket sales this year. She began by takfng charge of the sales for football games. Then came the Drama Club and senior plays, basketball games, and also the tournment. Tlhe latter was especially hard. l When asked what part of ticket-sales management Was hardest, Pauline thought a Xwhile and then said that she believed thelselling to be ihe most difficult job. ' ln all of these sales Pauline has been cbly assisted by 'Leona Fultz, Mary Swallow, and many others too numerous to mention. ll ln addition to all of this, Pauline has made a fine scholastic record, was in many extra-curricular activities, and did much toward the Red Cross drive. L We all think this is a fine record, and we say, Keep up the good work, Pauline! i l I T ational Honor Societyl SCHOLARSHIP-LEADERSHlP--CHARACTER--SERVlC?E Five out of seven people to whom this page is dedicated 'definitely feel that April the l3, l943, in reverse of popular belief, was a vlery lucky day. On the the l3th the Drummer faculty chose Mary Diehl, Lorene Logan, and Rachael johnson of the graduating class, and lane McClure and Douglas Hager of the juniors to be National Honor Society members. The two seniors who were chosen last year were Mary V. Potts and Margareig Jean Cary. ll This is the highest honor Drummer can extend to any one studbent be- cause it represents not only one's scholastic standing but one's character and the contributions a person makes to the school. To the peopile who achieve membership in the Honor Society, an award of a pin and certificate is given, but this is small considering the prestige of a nation-wide organ- ization. i For two decades our ALMA MATER has sponsored this distinctive award and achieved notable results. Both faculty and fellow students wish those who have attained this honor all the good fortune due to come' their way. 1 xx tilt , 41 , D . e I 'x 4 ll 5, . , If . .,:, .,,L,,,LF X 4 .i ' ' ss 1 I ,Ni :Q-ij.

From the stout dances to the ias advertisedl corners of heaven, like the Aragon ball room, let us strike a median, such as the Drummer school dances. Due to the fact that all essays must be a bit boring, the time has approached to bore you with Drummer's dancing history. On December ll, l935, the Board of Education posted mimeograph- ed form letters to all studentsf parents stating that dances would be held in the gym. Also enclosed were the rules devised by the board. The mass of us were duly informed about them. ln section ll, paragraph C, we found this worthy of note: Pupils are expected to return home im- mediately at the close of each dance. Failure to do so will deprive them of the privilege of participation in the next three dances. This privilege may be restored only after they have given satisfactory assurance to the principal that their future conduct will measure up to the requirements. Also in the same section under F, There shall be no admission charge. ,lAuthor's note: lt .is my belief that the latter was to insure 1crowds.l The code of regulations was drawn up in four sections with subheadings. However, all this was in the far post, and so arrives the near past. ln the past school term we have participated in five dances and were slighted one by a gross oversight in the first semester. We have had a hard times dance, one requiring a bit of scrap, to slap our arch enemy the lapg a victory dance complete with queen and attendants after a football defeat over Milford, plus the customary bounce time and rag jam sessions, and for a night cap to swell times spent scuffing shoes and cleaning them the morn after, we have the word finis written into-a swell prom. This custom was introduced by the juniors of '41 and tradi- tion has it listed as a prolonged evening of silk and satins draped formally over the farer sex while the brawny group rest complacently in spring en- sembles. For the many pleasures had by all ' we owe much to the world's best fixer-Clarence Poplett-and the dance committee consisting :af Margaret lean Cary, Evan Harper, and lack Lamb. Thus we have not dismissed dancing with cursory mention but rather with an involved dissertation. . :N Mr' , ' is Q rims ig rvgwm f.

SPRING CONCERT BY DRUMMER VOCALISTS On Sunday, April l8, at three o'clock, the members of the music de- partment presented a spring concert directed by Miss Lola W. ,ohnson and accompanied by Margaret Jean Cary. To beautify spring the girls were dressed in formals, and the stage was artistically decorated with flowers. The first group consisted of selections by the girls' chorus: The Glory of Life by F. Melius Christiansen, When Children Pray by Bea- -trice Fenner, God of All Nature by Tschaikowsky, Four Little Foxes by Wennenah M, Lowell, The Maiden and the Weathercock by Mari- anne Genet, and Ay, Ay, Ay , a cradle song. Three selections were then given by the girls' sextette. They were: Panis Angelicus, Cesar Franck, Lift Thine Eyes by Mendelssohn, and Dona Nobis, Old Canon. The Grade School A Capella Choir, neatly dressed in choir robes, sang L NAA, tljl C I: X ii ls hh. -' Zl'1rg i f 's 1 1 'ld' 'll If ie 1 Ji Y- J . , tt l s l rd! 5155 1 N A ' W e irq' jfifiif 'tif i - .5 wiiffs, .Qi S561 QN49' i , ,, , ,M . ff x I 1 v' ' 4 . 5 5 gg. at Q xy 5 ,J 7 l I . li l l ll eds four numbers: Now the Day ls Over by Joseph Barnby with Frank Hunt as soloist, Go Down Moses and O, Mary Don't Yo Weep!, Negro spirituals, and john Peel, an old English tune.

Five numbers were then presented by the boys' chorus: Dear Land of I-lame by Sibelius, Dedication by Franz, Can't Yo Heah Me Moanin', Lord, a Negro spiritual, Oh Susanna by Stephen Foster, and De Gos- pel Train, a sipiritual, featuring Bob Rutledge as soloist. A soprano solo, The Lord's Prayer, was sung by Verona Anderson. To end the program, the mixed chorus, consisting of all members of' the department, sang the following selections: Cherubim Song by Tschaikowsky, Victory, an old Alsation Easter coral, Alleluial Christ ls Risen by Andre Kapolyaff, Turn Ye to Me a Scotch melody, The Echo Song by Orlando di Lasso, and America Forever Free' by Robert W. Gbb. Music Hath Charms Margaret Jean Cary has certainly shown remarkable musical talent and service to her school during her four years in accompanying all the choruses and mxed groups connected with glee club work. 'Each year Margaret Jean was also called upon to accompany all instrumental solos, as well as vocal, for contest work. She spent between ten and fifteen hours of her time in the glee club room each week and has a talent which will certainly help her find life's work more enjoyable. Best wishes for your success, Margaret lean! Drummer At War Dedication of Drummer Service Flag Drummer's service flag honoring the alumni of Drummer was dedi- cated in May at a secial service. The large ' b stands for those who cre in the various branches of the service. The gold star represents three brave young men who have fallen in blue star ,representing 203 mem ers the line of duty. Mr. Loy suggested the idea with Miss E. Dueringer as his assistant. She took charge of listing the names and the total number who were serv- ing in the armed forces of the United States. Three Home-Ec girls, Blaracum, made the Edith Colvin, LaVonne Schroeder, and Bette Van flag. This flag is a symbol of Drummer's contribution of those who once b ttl fields. contended in the sports arena rather than on the a e omen serving in the various Besides the men, there are two young w women's auxiliary corps, Class of '43 Presents Pageant as Theme on Commencement Night 943 was the eventful day when the sophisticated sen- June first, l , iors displayed their final abilities and achievements to good old Drummer High. This year the class chose a pageant for their theme. ln this way the whole class could take part in the commencement exercises. Their theme was America's being established by people from Europe's shore, who came to this country seeking happiness and freedom to wor- ship God. In l62O the Pilgrims came on the Mayflower and signed the ere great factors in pact. Their hardships, struggles, and endurance w ' the Declaration of Inde- the land of the free. Finally came d giving us pendence where we pledged to each other our lives, our fortunes, an our sacred honor. Then the slaves were set free, for our government could not endure half slave and half free . Our home was represented as the great center of the nations.

The quota for this region was Sl3l0, but when the drive was completed we had obtained 52029, which the students of Drummer ocquired through their fine work and cooperation. Each pupil had a seztion of the town or the country and solicited that district. As recognition of their fine work of patriotism we have macfe an honor roll for those who participated.

M. Lay o.l During the third week of November, the student council held a meeting in which plans were made to launch a war Stamp' drive at D. T. H. S. A contest was held among the four classes for the purpose of selling war stamps. The objective of the drive was to buy a real jeep, which would cost 5900, thus making the quota for each class 5225. Later in the month Jack Troyer, Evan Harper, Virginia Carter, and Bob Nelson met and decided upon making posters representing each or- ganization. The placards were designed by Bob Rutledge, a freshman artist. The design was a jeep driven by a soldier advancing up a hill until it went over the top. Every time the students of a class would pur- chase stamps, sold in the journalism room and in the lower hall on Tues- days and Thursdays, the jeep would climb up the hill according to the scale. The thing foremost in the minds of all American citizens, in those days, as well as today, was to aid the war effort in one way or another. Naturally, as patriotic Americans, every Drummerite wanted to do his part. Congratulctons were given to the freshmen especially for reaching their quots first. Finally enough war bonds and stamps were sold, to buy considercby more than the jeep.After reaching the objective, the results were an- nouncd by Eob Nelson, co-chairman of the drive. The green freshies bought 5432.05 worth of stamps and bonds. The other class sales for the drive were: sophomores, S6-4.l0, juniors, 5263.705 and seniors, Sl55.- 40, making the grand total of S9l5.25. Although Drummer's quota had been filled, the loyal and patriotic students did not discontinue their purchases of war bonds and stamps. l'very Tuesday and Thursday following this drive, bonds and stamps were sold in the journalism room. A great deal of credit was due the four class presidents for their fine work in heading the drive. Thanks was also given to 'the entire student body for their splendid cooperation in making ths event go over with a bang. DRUMMER DRAMA CLUB A MEMBER OF AMERICAN THEATRE WING The American Theatre Wing is on organization composed of stage, movie, and radio stars who have donated their services for the entertain,- ment of the boys in the armed forces. In New York City the Wing has established the Stage Door Canteen which has furnished recreation for thousands of army, navy, coast guard, and other service men. John Schutte and Bud Okey, former Drummerites, enjoyed this Stage Door Canteen while in New York. I Last fall a movement was made to enlist the interest of amateur theatrical groups. Mr. GarrettgLeverton of Northwestern University, chair- man o fthat branch, organized the forty-eight' states into vaious divisioris. Mr. Loy of Drummer was head of our particular organization in Illinois, and the Drummer Drama Club decided to fall in line and donate their serv- ices. Accordingly, Where's the Fire, the first production of the yedr, gave twenty-five dollars of its proceeds to the American Theatre Win'g. Thereupon the club received a certificate of admission to the Wing'. This membership card was particularly interesting because the autograpfhs of Helen Hayes and Alfred Lunt, a famous'American actress and outstanld- ing English actor, were upon it. This undertaking by the Drummer Drama Club was one more effort on the part of our high school td help lightlen the burden of the boys who were formerly our students. Undoubtedly the Drama Club will give a repeat performance next year. I I I I I Aeronautics for Drummer I An interest in flying has been greatly in evidence around Drurnrber this year. For the boys and girls who wished to know somethng mprei of this subiect, a course in aeronautics was introduced at the beginning of the second semester. lt includcd the- rudimenis of flying, aerodynam- ics, aviation, and meteorology. , A great many of the boys who were in the class hope that it ,will be of help to them in the armed services. For those who have not taiken it this year, the course will probably be continued next fall, so keep I'em flying, Drummer! I I I I I Spanish in Drummer I I This year, prompted by the turn of the attention of the whole cpun- try toward Latin America, Drummer has offered a course in Spanishi It was tauglht by Miss Myrna Fisher during the first semester and by :Miss Alice Martin in the second. I The fifteen students with a flair for America del Sur have found that they have chosen a language tha.t's fun, for the class listens to records, learns songs, and has even played a Mexican game somewhat' like Bingo. ' Spanish is a languzge that is more widely used throughout' the Western Hemisphere than English, and the pupils of that language are looking forward to some day visiting our Good Neighbors in order tb try out their accents.

The American people as a rule are a very sympathetic group. lt is not their policy to stand by and feast while others less fortunate are starving. This task of attempting to feed the whole world can be accomplished only by the complete cooperation of every per- son in the United States. lt is not only the farmers that are concerned in the matter, but every man, woman, and child in the country. The farmers' part is to raise as much food as possible that we,rnight have plenty to feed the unfortunates across the ocean. The people who live in the cities and towns must help by not grumbling about the food they cannot get and by not wasting what food they do get. The wasting and hoarding of food are definite helps to the enemy. Right now? we are concerned primarily with winning the war, and we must have all the food available used and not stored away in the basement or thrown into the garbage. Authorities say that Food will win the war. They don't mean by this that they are going to throw food at the enemy like bombs and bullets. But imagine an American soldier out on the battle front fighting for his cnd every one else's freedon that they love and cherish so much! lt takes strength to continue this fighting, and it takes food to maintain his strength. Therefore the soldier must be fed. Food shipped in its original form takes up much space in the ships that carry it across the ocean. Hence there had to be some way to condense the food into small pack- ages. Science suggested dehydrating it. Now most of the food shipped goes through ths process, which allows a large amount of food in a small space. When it is ready to be used, the people re-hydrate it by mixixng it with water or other ingredients, which makes it as good as it was in its original form. The canning factories, where the food is packed into cans, are doing their utmost to keep up their end. But they are greatly hampered by the lack of cans, the tin being used for war implements. One way a person can help relieve the food shortage is to grow a victory garden. You may think that such a thing would accomplish very little. But a victory garden is like a defense stamp: it is not your one that counts, it's the hundreds of them all put together. Supposing one mil- lion victory gardens sprang up over the United States and each gorden grew an average of ten bunches of carrots, ten bunches of beets, two or three pans of beans, a bushel of corn, and so on. By multiplying all these articles by one million you have enough food to feed several hundred fam- ilies in Europe. So, as was said before and will be said again, We must have food for Victory. Alvin Alexander A Line of Type FEAR l think FEAR, a four letter word, is one of the hardest of all emotions to conquer. I believe that we are born without fear because a baby will walk up to a stove and touch it, walk out of an upstairs window, or pick up an earthworm. After a child has done some of these things' a few times, a sense of fear develops. Little children aren't afraid of the dark until someone begins to tell them that the boogie man will get them if they aren't good. . Gas rationing caused considerable fear for some people.i They think that they won't be able to go for a Sunday afternoon drive or to the corner drug store for the Sunday paper. If they would only be more calm, they could see that it isn't nearly so bad. A Mothers fear for their sons when they go away to war. Death is the same whether on the battle-field or in an arm chair because ydu pass into eternity just the same. E ln the Boston fire half of the people were killed because of fear. They were afraid of being killed. The result was a panic. lf solmeone could have spoken, Let us be calm , then practically everyone 'could have walked in on orderly way to safety. 'I A doctor recently cited a case in which the man was a worry lbird . He thought that he had heart trouble. The doctor tried to assure him that he had a perfect heart. Since he feared for himself, the man de- veloped a heart affliction. . Some people dread the sight of a mouse. lf they see one, they go into hysterics. lf the truth of the matter were known, a mouse lnas a great fear of a human. When the size is compared, why not? i A fine definition of fear has been given by President Rooseveltj and l quote, The thing that we have to fear most is fear itseIf . ' -Virginia Cbrter l l Pheasants-and Almost Death i One bright summer day a happy farm family can leave on a shop- ping tour and never guess the adventures which lie ahead. Jogging plong on a country road to town we were gazing at the wonders' of nature-asking and wondering who thought of putting oats in shocks or making horse man's servants. ' Suddenly l spied a movement in the tall grass along the roadside. We slowed down to investigate. Strutting proudly, a mother pheasant advanced from her shelter followed by a flock of tiny, brown, bbby pheasants. The procession filed across the road in front of our slolwly advancing automobile and then scurried into the clover field on the opposite side. Each of us had been so interested in the amusing incident that we hadn't paid much attention to what was going on in front of ps. Out of space we heard a hollow rumble. As four heads whirled from west to south in unison a bulky black form loomed before us. Brakes screeched on both car and train. Screams echoed through the air. Yes, we were safe only two feet from death beneath the spinning wheels and grinding brakes of a five-ton locomotive. ln the sudden stopping l was flung against the front windshield, and l carry a scar to this day which will always bring back a memory bf how close l came to meeting my creator.

I' X in .MY l Xi BATHS If dogs are house pets, they must be bathed fairly often to keep them from being offensive. It's a simple task, if done in the right imanner. When my mother gives our dogs their baths, she goes about it with- out any fuss or dither. First she places a thick mat of newspapers on the floor near the edge of the tub. Then she gathers together the various items used in the bath routine--soap, wash cioths, brush, pine- Soil, and plenty of old towels. Next, the tub is half filled with warm water. Now everything is ready, and in a firm voice she calls, All right, Sis, lor Sandy,J come and take your bath now! ...And in they go. Sis hops right in without being told again. Sometimes Sandy rebels, briefly, and needs to be told again that it's time to be bathed. Mom quickly goes about the canine ablutions, talking to the dog in a low, soothing voice during the process-soaping, scrubbing, and rinsing. The animal is lifted out onto the newspapers, rubbed briskly with the towels, and then, if it's summer, put outside to fnish drying. But if DAD decides to give the dogs a bath, it's a different story altogether. First, he says something like this- I guess l'll give the twerps a bath. Immediately the dogs look for something behind which to take refuge. Sandy usually wants to go outside. Then Dad will pick up whichever dog he can catsh first. One time Sister hid under a dresser and had to be coaxed out. After he gets the dog to the bathroom and in a tub of water, you are apt to hear him say, Hey, Mom, what kind of soap do you use? ...l forgot to bring the towels, too. Sit still, you twerp. l don't want to have to change my shirt again. Jim, oh lim, bring me some newspapers. Gh! heck, where's that oil? I don't know how l gat myself into this. After twenty minutes or thereabouts, Dcd and the wet pup emerge from the bathroom, both exhausted. Pop collapses in an easy chair, and the bathed dog runs around frantically shaking itself and scattering drops of water everywhere. The other dog's bath waits until another day. Mom sighs, conceals a smile at the helplessness of men and animals, gets the mop, and proceeds to clean up the bathroom. James Bryant. IOSEPHINE Josie is my auto, a troublesome cart is she. First her horn's the awful worry, then l lose the key. Next a tiny wire breaks the circuit in her chassie After that l become a downrght mad little lassie. So out we jump and heave and ho until we get her rolling, And to the wheel l skip once more to keep losie right on groaning. To top this all she is so fair that I can't possibly keep her clean. So when you see her on the street, she'll have lost her glossy sheen. But when all is said and memories come of good times we two have had, l'll forget the failures and the times she acted bad. l'll reminisce and talk a bit about .her horn's queer note, And Josie will then know why this poem of her l wrote.

I Hear Gibson Singing I hear Gibson singing, the train whistles I hear, Those of troopers, each one loaded with the cream of the nation, The The The The The The The The police singing his song as he travels his beat, factoryman singing as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work, switchman singing what belongs to h.m in his tower, the telegrapher singing on the keyboard desk, shoe repairman singing as he sits on his bench, the shiner singing, as he stands, section hand's song, the farm boy on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown, sweet singing of the mother, or of-the young wife at work, baking or dusting, gray bean plant with its smoke, making plastics and fuel for war, transport truck tires singing on the three highways. which make the Star City, Rushing war goods to camps Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else, Singing with open hearts their strong song for Victory.
