THE DRUMMER 1924 CLASS HISTORY While out riding one Sunday, I noticed a house made of many differ- ent kinds of wood. When I mentioned this fact to my companion, she said, Why! don't you remember? Part of that house is made from the old frame building where we first started our school life. I recollect very well the first year we started in quest of education. We, as a class, had many happy and sad incidents during our sojourn in the grade school, but thirty of us survived. On the first Monday in the month of September, 1920, we entered the portals of D. T. H. S., joined by fifty of our country cousins, making a total of eighty green freshies. The faculty and upper-classmen were awed by our ability to rank so high in scholarship, even though we were green in appearance. We owe a great deal of our success to our Freshman class advisor, Miss Nicholson, who guided and encouraged us through our first year. When we acquired the title of Sophomores, we were so busy entering into the social game that we didn't have time for other things. In our Junior year we shone forth in all our glory, and no other class was arrayed like ours. In the beginning of the year we chose Robert Yoder as president and William Barrow for vice-president. After the semester examinations were over, we selected our play for the Junior X. Everybody said Clarence was a decided success, and we know it was a success fi- nancially. On May 11, 1923, we gave our Junior-Senior reception. The gym was beautifully decorated in green and white, the colors of both classes. Some of the Seniors said that it was prettier than the reception they gave the year before. The terrible flood of rain prevented many from coming, but those who did enjoyed themselves fully. As for our last year, we seemed to have grown older and were better fitted for the many responsibilities of the Senior year. Early in the first semester we chose Elmer Stein president. I must not forget to mention that we contributed three men to the winning basket ball team of 1923, and many participated in football and baseball. In our four years in Drummer we have tried to live up to the high standards of our Alma Mater. It is our wish that, when we are gone from Drummer, we may leave precedents worthy of adoption by the lower-class- men. We shall then feel that, in some respects, we have partly paid our debt of gratitude to D. T. H. S. -Gay Ella Wakefield, 24. We are foolsfthose who did not 171411 fl Drunmrer. 25
