We, the members of the Class of 1924, having completed our sojourn in Trummer, 'wish to dedicate this record of our lives and experiences to those who are the backbone of the school. In appreciation of the efforts put forth by the patrons of Drummer High to make our school life what it has been, we present this cv4nnual as an expression of our gratitude.

'DR UMMER -1940 In after years we'll wander hack To Drummer's classic hall, Again those corridors we'll walk And hy-gone days recall. Theres the old clock upon the wall, With its hell so loud and clear, How it called us to our work From our places far and near! Washington still is there With his crew-eleven strong: The cold waves along the Delaware' Still dash the icy waves along. The silver cup of '23 Still holds the place of state, But-upon all sides ot it Loom others-beautiful and great But Memories alone remain- All else has passed us byg But still we love the dear old place, That spot called Drummer High. -Ruth Powell, '24. 7

QREETINGS To those into whose liands this book perchance may fall and who may read these pages with kindly interest, with en- thusiasm for the school, or with critical intent, we, the Drumn mer Staff, extend a hearty greeting. To you the Students, Faculty, Alumni, and Board of Edu- cation, we would say, Put yourself in a receptive mood be- fore advancing further. lf the trials, tribulations and vexa- tions of the board stood out in the book as they did in its making we would surely say, Go no further. However, we have survived and so may you. Tread lightly, interpret freely, and forgive our crudeness. There may be some who will be disappointed in the Drummer and whose standards the book does not reach. To such we would say, We have done our best. ' There may be some to whom the quips seem not so funny as they do to us. To them we would say, A joke's a joke for a' that. Upon the many whom we know will receive this book with hearty appreciation, we have relied for encouragement in the work. That this Drummer may in years to come, recall scenes of our school days, afford amusement for some lonely hour, cause a laugh of mirth or a fond memory, to cheer sadness, or lighten heavy responsibility, is the wish of the TRUMMER STAFF OF '24
