N Annual Staff The annual staff was very large this year, and the majority of the class participated in composing the annual. The theme of the 1942 annual was about the sea-the Drum- mer being the ship, tfte staff acting as the crew, and the stories carrying ship lingo. Dean Conrad, our dark-haired actor, edited the Drummer. He was ably assisted by LaDema Bunting, the senior lassie with the neat brown curls. Our energetic track queen, Betty Jean Swallow, headed the literary department. Wanda N-orman, Maryon Samet, and Glen McKeever were the business managers. Helen Heyer and Herbert Green were the sports' editors. The dramatic activities were written by Helen Summers. Ina Mae Otto handled the humorous side-lights. Ivan Lewis was the annual photo- grapher. Lucille Johnson edited the calendar, and Wanda Norman was society editor. Our advisor was Miss Mary K. Barton, and Miss Pearl Augspurger was business advisor. Mr. J-ohn Hensley was assistant advisor. The rest of the senior class acted as re- porters and typists. The senior class colors for the 1942 Drummer were silver and blueg the flower was the American beauty r-oseg and the motto- Followers today, leaders tomorrow. The annual was dedicated to the boys who have graduated from Drummer High and who are n-ow in the service of their country.
