They are still in the preparing stage, and the route is becoming' more and more difficult with each forward move- ment. Because of the many phases of study which the student must examine, the load becomes heavier. lf the preparation is allowed to lag behind the race is almost lost, because it takes so much effort to place it as it were, that some students give up and crash. As the end of the second lap is nearly reached, the vision of the goal ap- pears not so far in the distance. A little brighter and clearer it seems giving them more hope in the preparation. The longing for ignoble thingsg The strife for triumph more than truthg The hardening of the heart that brings Irleverence for' the dreams of youth. -Longfellow. L GIQEETINGI When a summary is made of the events of the year '29-'30 we see that the sophomores have not played an unimportant part in school activities. First take the scholastic side. A glance at the honor roll will show what the sopho- mores C1111 do. Then for extra-curricular activities we have three on the de- bate squad and several in the Parlenian and Literary Clubs. Also in athletics we have shown our skill. As a whole we have tried to be loyal supporters of our motto, Knowl- edge-Honor-Service , and on the following page may be seen the pictures :if some true Drummer patriots. We hope that the next year of preparation will l'e as well done as this. As president of the sophomore class l wish to thank the members of the class for their willingness to help carry on the undertakings of the school. X X - x Xxx W--Charles Lane '32, President. N .

,ug me W Q9 QS, 56' W' x THIS HQESHIEI It takes a lot of fieshies in a school to make it best, For they fill it with gay laughter with their merry fun and jest. Some people call them green, but really that's not so, For it takes a lot of treshies in a school to make it go. It takes a lot of fi eshies in a place to make it school, For of course they are a part of it and try to heed the rule. Some of them are very short, otheis very tall, But they're just a lot of freshies when you take them all in all. I'm really not a poet, as you can veiy well see, But I'm just a little freshie, Happy, gay and free. -Rena Knight, '33. ClAlI '33 We entered school in nineteen twenty- And with the faculty we have here, nine, We progressed throughout the year, Seventy in number were in line: For they were always helpful and kind, To get acquainted with all the res-t So in our work were not behind. Was quite a task, we will confess. Next year there will be tasks galore, We were rather slow at first, For we each expect to be a sopho- Yet for knowledge we did thirstg moreg In real earnest we went to work, By work and perseverance as the time And our tasks we did not shirk. draws nigh, We hope to be a credit to dear old Drummer High. -Audrey O'I-Iare, '33. ANSWER THIS When you were a freshman, tell me this: Was it considered a crime to act like a sis? And did school begin at ten till nine? Were you always right on time? Did you always act just so? Stayed home all evening and not have one place to go? Did you take your lunch to school? Dr was that against the rule? Did you take the Maroon and White? Every time you did or said something, did you do it right? What did you do? What did you say? Was life monotonous day after day? Has everything changed? Is nothing the same? When you were called a freshman, wasn't that an interesting' name? Tell me, other Drummerites, tell me true, Does this freshman class appeal to you? -Eleanor' Anderson, '3 3. EUNIS BUT NDT FOIQGOTTEN Our freshman year was full of fun, Next year sophomores we will be, How' I wish it had just begun. Freshman days a memory. With all its studies, frowns and smiles, All our fun and all our toil All its wearisome hopeless trials, Are laid to waste among the spoilsg It was a year of fun. It was a year of fun. -Mabel Beach, '33. W W , . ., .- A' ' Fw 'N '-i i f - - wwe 1 v ,-nay-1-ight
