"The Gateway to Opportunity"

"The Gateway to Opportunity. The dream of an idealist. An experiment in human nature. The plan of a man of faith. The plant for training in efficiency - for success. An opening to health and happiness and hope." Photographs from Mrs. Ringle's Scrapbook. Mrs. Lillian Ringle, an accredited teacher, taught the boys through the 7th grade with school held on Drumm property from 1929 through 1934. During her tenure at Drumm, Mrs. Riggle compiled a scrapbook that describes the life and times during her short stay. Mrs. Ellen Nelson Bidstrup, daughter of Harry Nelson, the first superintendent at Drumm, was kind enough to pass the scrapbook on to me. Bill Richards, October 2001
