HE FIFTY-FOURTH volume of the KARUX can not fail to pay tribute with high praise to a man who has served Mercersburg for forty-six years with loyalty, fidelity, and vigor. In his con- duct of the financial affairs of the Academy through all the stresses and strains of her growth Mr. John Milton Drumm adhered faithfully to the school motto, Hard Work, Clean Life, Fair Play. , Mr. Drumm retired on October 15, 1946. At the meeting of the Alumni at dinner on October 12 he stated that after his family his love for Mercers- burg came first. Mr. Drumm, who came to Mercersburg in 1900 as secretary to Dr. Irvine after answering an ad in a Philadelphia paper, became Treasurer of the Acad- emy in 1905. This position he held until his retirement. When he re- ceived this appointment, he was also elected Secretary to the Board of Re- gents, and in 1941 he was elected a member of the Board. A graduate of the first Pennsylvania State Normal School at Millersville in 1897, he taught in the public school system of Pennsylvania. In 1898 he entered Pennsylvania Business College, later taking a position in Philadelphia. Mr. Drumm has had a notable career in the town of Mercersburg, where he took an active part in the work of the Reformed Church, the Public School Board, and the Farmers' Bank. He was prominent in the affairs of the Associa- tion of Business Officers of Preparatory Schools and an honorary member of the Mercersburg class of 1938. At its February meeting the Board of Regents paid high tribute to Mr. Drumm's service. The Board of the KARUX wishes John Milton Drumm many happy years and hopes that he will enjoy the richly deserved leisure which has come to him. 6 v 6 v 6 '-f:.f?f3f5 1' ' ' 6 v ...
