FOOTPRINTS ON THE SANDS OF TIME Impressions— those made by the in- dividual and those received— are a part of every day ' s experiences. They help to develop personalities, set moral values, and determine goals. This book is meant to be a record of the students and teachers who have given and received impressions at Bluffton High School. Teachers, by their examples, greatly in- fluence the opinions which students are forming. Students have opportunities to take part in varied activities, participa- tion in which bring out qualities of lead- ership, scholarship, and resourcefulness. Students likewise contribute to the school. Only with cooperation of students can the school realize its main objective— the education of the students. Other people form opinions of the school by the actions of its students in and out of school. After graduation students go out to make impressions on the world and to leave their Footprints on the Sands of Time. v- ?t • - .; ' -. g tei? Mfei  - Contents Travelers Together 5 Learning, Playing, Growing 35 Index 78 Travelers Together People, the most important port of the school around which everything is centered, are traveling through the high school years leaving their varied impressions. The stu- dent ' s steps are very skillfully guided along the way by administrators and teachers. Important also are janitors, cooks and bus drivers who help keep the school running smoothly. However, the most important peo- ple and the objects of the work of all the others are the students. This section of the book is dedicated to the people who work, play, and learn during this period which will be remembered and appreciated throughout their entire lives. The freshmen are usually a little anxious about stepping into the exciting, sometimes difficult, life of high school. In the sophomore and junior years more confidence is gained, as well as broadened friendships and knowledge. Finally, the seniors are experienced travel- lers through this trial period of life and are anxious to step out into the world of the future. Contents ADMINISTRATION 6 FACULTY 7 SENIORS 10 JUNIORS 21 SOPHOMORES 25 FRESHMEN 29 CO-WORKERS 33 LES DOLD, treasurer; CHARLES WETERICK, president; DR. WILLIAM GITLIN, secretary Elected for three year terms, School Board mem- bers are responsible for providing the community with an up-to-date educational system. They es- tablish and set up school policies, hire administrative officials and faculty, determine salaries, and ap- prove all financial affairs of the schools, thus pro- viding a background for a smoothly operating sys- tem. During 1963-1964 much of the board ' s main concern has been with the possible changes in the Central and High School buildings. The ever in- creasing enrollment makes such changes necessary in the near future. ADMINISTRATORS, FACULTY CHART THE COURSE FRED F. PARK, Principal, A.B. Ball State Teachers College, M.S. Indiana University. Mr. Park ' s interest in all students at BHS is shown by his willingness to help them with their problems, by listening to them, and by giving advice. This year Mr. Park has been concerned with the new lunch program as well as with other school activities— class work, social affairs, sports events, and convocation programs. Students at BHS are proud of their principal because of the recognition in professional affairs that he has re- ceived throughout the year. Mr. Park, by his skill in organization, makes it possible for all 570 students to get where they are supposed to be, at the right time, with a minimum of confusion. EDWIN E. PRIBLE, Superintendent, A.B. Manchester, M.S. Indiana University. Participation in all school activities and his personal friendliness show his in- terest in all students. This year Mr. Prible is greatly concerned with the building program which includes the remodeling of the present school buildings. The enlargement and reorganization of the school dis- trict make the completion of this program necessary in the near future. Students realize that Mr. Prible is not an administrator that is content to remain in the background and supervise things because they see him in the class rooms, about the bu ' ldings, and attending school functions where he can see how things are working. -i_ MR.

The school now employs as many teachers as there are rooms for them to use. The school will face critical space problems in another year. While all teachers hold college degrees, eight have masters degrees and many others are doing graduate work. Besides teaching, faculty members sponsor various clubs and are available before and after school to help students with special problems. Meeting stu- dents under such informal and friendly situations creates the better student-teacher relationship at BHS. standing, Mrs. Bodkin, Mr. Spaid, John Deming, and Je Rodriguez, and Mr. Pettyjohn SENIORS ANTICIPATE THE ROAD AHEAD The class of ' 64 has mode its mark in the history of BHS. In several ways it has been a group of firsts or seconds: as freshmen they were the first class offered Spanish, in their junior year they helped establish the custom of the annual All- School Bonfire, and between their junior and senior years they participated in the first Reading Develop- ment class. Now, as seniors, they have the second largest class in the history of the school. As an added honor— to herself, the class, and the school— Peggy Cook was a finalist in the results of the Notional Merit Scholarship Test. With graduation approaching, S. Spaid, K. Kline, L. Smith, and B. Frantz model their caps and gowns. Park, and C. Ringge LYNNE MARDELL AESCHLIMAN-Ac- ademic.

At the first convocation twenty-nine juniors were honored for maintaining a scholastic average of 3.4. In the fall the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test was taken by those plan- ning to further their education. In the spring they took the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The junior money-making project was selling red, green, and blue sweatshirts. In the spring they presented a play entitled The Courtship of Eddie ' s Father. As the year drew to a close, preparations were made for the traditional Junior- Senior Reception.

Sixty-three girls joined Y-Teens and thirty-two boys joined Hi-Y. Twenty-two received honors for maintain- ing a high scholastic average of 3.3 dur- ing their freshmen year. The National Educational Development Tests were taken by those who were interested in furthering their education. Looking for- ward to next year and their financial responsibilities, they sold peanut crunch, chocolate covered cherries, and mints. A regular class party was held in March.

After adjusting to school routines they were ready to begin other phases of school life. They started their class treasury by selling chocolate covered turtles and mint candy. Prizes were given to the eight top salesmen; Steve Yoder, table radio; Ervin Aeschliman, Helbros watch; Mary Egly, John McCord, and Sue Mech- ling, cameras; and Anne Boonstra, Tom Brinneman, and Dick Ward, stuffed poodle dogs. On November 8th, at a class party at the Central School gym, entertainment was provided by a group of upper classmen. Because they were so enthusiastic at the ball games and par- ticipated in many school activities, by the close of the school year the fresh- men had become a part of school routine. ;sident; iident; Modlin, and Mr □ ting and dancing at their class parly. 29 ' jM FROSH BULGE CLASSROOMS, CROWD HALLS .

Few people realize how much the suc- cess of the school depends on these people. Our efficient, competent, and friendly secretaries ploy a key role in keeping the school running smoothly. Our bus drivers successfully transport approximately 100 students to and from the high school each day. Recent inspectors of our school commented on its cleanness and its good over-all appearance. Our janitors are responsible for this clean, neat appear- ance. A new addition to the school ' s staff this year is the cooks, Mrs. Heller and Mrs. Levy. They di- rect the lunch line each day and serve the students quickly and efficiently. Left: The bus drivers, Mr. Gross and Mr. Murray tower leff: Mr. Zoll, Mr. Kiefer, and Mr. Stinson or janitors.

At the hub of these are, of course, the academics. Gaining knowledge is the purpose of the students and the reason for the every existence of the school. How- ever, if our school life were restricted to the learning in the classroom, it would be a very dull, unprofitable four years. Organizations help students become better acquainted. They may extend a subject taught in the class, pur- sue special interests, give service experience and religious inspiration, or support the bas- ketball team. This brings up another very im- portant phase of high school life— sports. Be- sides enjoyment, basketball ( Hoosier Mad- ness ), track meets, tennis tournaments, and all of the other sports activities provide op- portunities for growth and work toward com- mon goals. Miscellaneous extra-curricular ac- tivities such as hectic, exciting class plays, senior dances, class projects, the prom, and the yearbook all further the effectiveness of high school as an enjoyable, learning expe- rience. All of these activities are invaluable to the student who is taking his last steps to- ward adult life. CONTENTS ACADEMIC 36 SPORTS 46 ACTIVITIES 60 SCHOOL LIFE 72 35 GUIDANCE TOUCHES LIVES OF ALL STUDENTS The main objective of any school is to educate its students. This section of the Retrospect is devoted to this major task. Our school offers a variety of subjects to fulfill the needs of each individual. It prepares both those who plan to continue their for- mal education and those who plan to start working after graduation. Besides preparing students for fu- ture goals, it gives each one a general, well-rounded education. Every member of the student body has the opportunity to take advantage of as many courses as he is capable of handling. Guidance, the newest department in school, has become one of the most important. Mr. Fornsheil and Mr. Thompson, heads of the department, talk to students about personal problems and help them gather information on colleges, scholarships, and available jobs in the community. They keep records on each pupil ' s semester grades and test results. The College Night Program held in November brings representatives from Indiana colleges to BHS to give information and to answer students ' questions. In spring there are meetings for the juniors and seniors concerning vocational training. Guidance has be- come an everyday, year-around part of every stu- dent ' s school life.

History and government classes have used many techniques to adapt their programs to life. The text book is not the only tool used in learning; films, historic mementos, songs, maps, and projects make the text book come alive. Students in social study classes not only learn from man ' s past mistakes how to live better in today ' s world, but they also learn from man ' s ambitions and achieve- ments to appreciate their freedoms and privileges. In civics, all seniors study government and how it is operated, while in economics they learn how man earns money and how he saves and spends it. Daily raising and lowering the flag and running the film projector are responsibilities of the history stu- dents. As the school and interest in social science have grown, it became necessary to hire another teacher, Mr. Fischer, for the added U. S. History classes. s are busily preparing During the period of mourning for our late preside Jotin F. Kennedy, ttie flag flew ot half mast. Janice Elliott is showing antiques that students brought in during their study of the Civil War. 37 Students at BHS, in order to stay apace with the modern times, have a variety of science and math courses available. In the science field they take biology in their freshman year. From the text, the m ' croscope, and dissection, these students learn the makeup and function of the plant and animal king- doms. Chemistry and physics, the other two science courses, are taken in the junior and senior years. Students spend many fascinating hours in the labor- atory as well as in the classroom. Chemistry is the science dealing with the composition and properties of substances, while physics is the science dealing with the properties and changes of matter and energy. In the math field students take either general moth or algebra in their freshman year. During the sophomore year they take geometry. Third year algebra is the junior math course, and trigonometry and college algebra moke up the senior math course. In mathematics the students study quantities, magnitudes, and forms and their relationships by use of numbers and symbols. Lett: Man geometry Ann Kephort explaii class.

Vocational courses offered at BHS ore very im- portant because they train students for future oc- cupations. Many of these students will need none or very little training after graduation to enable them to secure jobs. The vocational courses are home economics, commercial, and industrial arts. In the home economics course, girls take four years of home ec. in which they learn to sew, cook, and knit; to practice first aid; and to understand color harmony and other related subjects. The com- mercial course prepares boys and girls to enter the business world. It is a four-year course that includes typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, office practice, and other business subjects. Many boys take the indus- trial arts course which includes shop, mechanical drawing, printing, and shop math. BHS has many fine pieces of equipment to help these boys learn their subjects. After having received his vocational training at BHS, a student may be well prepared to enter upon a career.

Trudy Horst, Gloria Dubach, Andrea Aeschliman, Sue Mc Farren, and accorrpanist Yvonne Davis thoroughly enjoy music Peter Kirchoff and Bill Delhi paint landscapes. Among the most popular opportunities given in BHS to learn to express oneself are classes in speech, music, and art. Students in Mr. Cobb ' s public speaking class practice enunciation and tone qual- ity; give various kinds of speeches— such as im- promptu, informative, convincing, and entertaining; participate in debates and class discussions; and dramatize job interviews. The two main events of the year ore the Rotary and American Legion speech contests in which every student participates. Another means of self-expression is found in Mr. Neuenschwander ' s art classes held at Central School. These students express themselves by putting what they feel into drawings and paintings, designs and ceramics. Many students express themselves through music; therefore there are the regular classes and a num- ber of special ensembles, both vocal and instru- mental. These groups perform at the District and State Contests and for various associations in the community. These ensembles show the public that BHS is a music-minded school. PHYSICAL-MENTAL FITNESS GO HAND-IN-HAND Lonnie Frauhiger perfor members of the class obs ck on the trompollne BHS students have classes in which physical ex- ercise is just as important as mental exercise. These activities range from improving co-ordination in drivers training to practicing in phys. ed. With the increasing number of automobiles in use, it has be- come necessary to provide drivers training at BHS. In this class students learn the parts of the car ' s en- gine and body. Each student must spend at least six hours driving the car. This gives him first hand experience and trains his reflexes— both of which are necessary in safe driving. In both boys and girls phys. ed. classes, students participate in a variety of physical exercises. Their sports include baseball, basketball, kickball, and volleyball. Their strength tests include calisthenics and other body exercise. Lastly, there are skill tests which include tumbling and using the trampoline. The whole program is carefully planned to develop strong, healthy bodies.

The band plays in the Christmas and Spring Concerts, at the Berne-Bluffton- Decatur Festival, and at basketball and football games; It marches in parades; and it participates in convocations and local and state contests. This year is Mr. Baxter ' s first as director of the band. Bill Deihl was chosen band captain, and Nancy Grove and Max Oswalt were chosen student directors. The high school choir, doubling in size in the last few years, has improved in quality and technique. Under Mr. Baxter ' s direction, the choir sang at local churches, in the Berne-Bluffton-Decatur Festival, at College Night, and in two concerts. Smaller groups provided variety in these programs. Ensemble groups and soloists took part in the annual vocal contest, winning honors for themselves and the school. Top Row: A. Boonstra, A. Rodriquez, D. Poff, D. Aeschlimon, L. Colen, K. Bowman, P.

Mrs. Rodriquez, the Spanish teacher, has made the class very interesting because of her Cuban background. In fact, this year a num- ber of students have taken advantage of the third- year Spanish course offered at Bluffton. The English classes have also grown to such an extent that it necessitated the hiring of two new teachers, Mrs. Raber and Mrs. Rose. Mrs. Raber teaches freshmen while Mrs. Rose instructs sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Five BHS students won awards in the county TB essay contest. They will be guests at a Rotary dinner near the close of school.

One of the greatest honors a high school student can achieve is to be elected to the National Honor Society. A member must excel in the basic objectives in education: Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. To set up these objectives as goals to- ward which all should strive is the purpose of this society. Elected to the local chapter in their junior year were Larry Smith, Peggy Cook, Carol Ringger, David Captain, Kay Murray, and Suzanne Spaid. On February 12, sixteen more juniors and seniors were inducted as new members. 15 per cent of each class is chosen— 5 per cent in the junior year and 10 per cent in the senior year.

Now COMMUNITY, SCHOOL BACK COMPETITIVE SPORTS Don Koade putts the golf boll as Mark Bailer, Larry Prible Loren Hunt, and Bill Gorrett look on. Rick Fair is ready to return the Tony Gorton, the catcher, stands in correct fo Tiger athletes, consisting of boys and girls in all fields, took part in competitive sports during the past year. Some boys comoeted on the varsity against athletes from other schools. Others partic- ipated on the B teams. Freshmen boys gained important experience that will prove valuable in years to come. All interested girls were able to keep physically fit by participating in G.A.A. The well-organized intramural system at Bluffton pro- vided opportunity for all boys to enjoy the excite- ment and competition that sports generate. In this age of stress on physical fitness another aspect of sports must not be overlooked: such events are more than mere activities; they are a way of life where the mind is developed along with the body. The mind is definitely developed as an athlete learns self-discipline which makes possible concentration, an important quality in sports. Finally, high spirits and determination are often the ingredients that separate the best from the good. On the physical side, the body must be conditioned, then trained until it is experienced, and then perfected. Although only athletes truly know the mettle needed to per- form well in a sport, Bluffton fans are loyal, and they turn out in full force to back the Tigers who represent them. 40 Top row: Coach Jock Cross, Ken Lanqe 1, Ror Anderson, Steve Huffn nan, D .ve Captain, Craig Man n.

Lew s Captain HARRIERS OPEN SEASON, MAKE GOOD RECORD The battling harriers of the cross country team came through with a highly successful season. Coach- ed by Mr. Cross, the boys earned an excellent 6-3 record. Many veterans from last year, strengthened by several newcomers, soon recalled or discovered that only hard work and strong wills make a win- ning team. Again leading the Tigers, Phil Captain qualified to run in the Anderson regional by plac- ing fourth in the Fort Wayne sectional. Coming out of its infancy, at six years, cross country is fast be- coming popular at Bluffton High. With a prospect of losing only a few runners.

Illness and injuries plagued the team the entire year. Sometimes the coach ' s list of absentees read like a hospital admit- tance chart: a dislocated shoulder, a broken ankle, concussion, bone infection, and kidney disease. The outstanding clash of the season— with the Col- umbia City Eagles— netted the Tigers their first con- ference victory with a score of 13-0. In spite of the team ' s lack of success on the score sheets, individual players were recognized for out- standing merit. Kent Sprunger, senior linebacker, won the tackling trophy and, together with Mark Clark, received honorable mention for the all-con- ference team. Tom Carney, right halfback, was awarded a position on the third honor team of the NEIC. Larry Smith was elected honorary team captain.

With their experience and record these boys will be expected to give their all in varsity football action next year. It has been said that the best way to learn is by experience. This is what the Tiger Cu bs get in freshman football. The only way they can learn the basic fundamentals and plays of football is through long hard hours of practice. Like the reserves the freshmen had a successful season with a 2-1 record.

WITH HARD FOUGHT THRILLERS Bluffton ' s basketball team, well-known in the past, finished a rough season with a record of 4-18, which actually tends to leave the Tigers underestimated. Several games were so close that the winner was the team with the single extra basket when the gun sounded. Unfortunately the Tigers always seemed to come up short when the breaks fell. Having the disadvantage of shortness, the boys made up for what they lacked in height by showing extra vigor and hustle on the floor. This hustle often left an opposing team wondering at Bluffton ' s sudden lead soon after the start of a game. The Tigers made a fine showing at Portland in the Holiday Tourney getting beat by a narrow one-point margin in the first game and winning the second. A spectacular victory over Columbia City ended the season with a bang. Dave Terhune, with a 21.3 point game aver- age, led the Tigers in scoring.

The reserve team fin- ished by winning 9 out of the 20 games that they played. Because the team had several taller sopho- mores, optimistic fans may be looking for them to aid the varsity next year. Reserve action serves as good practice and experience in training its mem- bers for possible varsity work. In addition it pro- vides a good means by which non-varsity boys can compete against other schools. Taking their first steps on the hardwood floor at Bluffton High, the Freshmen, numbering 15, made their way through a respectable 10-6 season. They learned the importance of getting into good physical shape and then the value of long hours of hard practice. As they worked increasingly harder, they became increasingly better, gradually shaping into a well-coordinated team. Before long, they were hustling through fundamentals taught by Coach Ray Modlin. No doubt several of them will be helping out the older boys on the reserve team next year. Freshman Basketball-Top row: Symon, Cooch Ray Modlin Roi Dick Ward, Day 2; Toni Sprunger, Dav ; Watten Bob Bay Shofe Bunch, Chad Ball ,;ll MettliT, Pat Co Purkhh The backbone of Coach Hulling- er ' s tennis squad consisted of one junior, five sophomores and two freshmen. The boys demonstrated their ability by winning more than one-third of their matches against much larger schools; a Faulkner- Anderson combination was un- beatable in the first team doubles tourney at the Fort Wayne Tennis Center. With most of these expe- rienced boys returning, the Tiger net men expect a winning season in 1964.

Over the golf course, small white spheres were soon flying In all directions. Fourteen members of Bluffton ' s re- cently created golf team were driv- ing, putting, chipping, and occa- sionally slicing their way through another season. Doing on above par job, the team finished with a notable 7-5 record. Most of the boys, being underclassmen, will be able to return to try for greater accomplishments.

These were the 59 boys who were awarded their major letter B ' s for out- standing performances in one or several sports. These boys knew that it takes skill, but they also knew that it takes more. Potential must be develop- ed; skill must be perfected. Tiger lettermen prac- ticed long, hard hours in preparing for the privilege of representing Bluffton High in athletic competi- tion against other schools. Besides forming the backbones of the several Tiger teams, the letter- men provided a second service to the sports system. They set examples for younger athletes to strive for, trying to match or to surpass them. Indeed, these lettermen can proudly stand as sports ambassadors of BHS.

In February the Lancaster GAA hosted a county GAA volleyball tourney, with a trophy awarded to the winning school. In March five girls went to Huntington for swimming and bowling competition. Installation of officers takes place at the annual GAA Banquet at which time girls are honored who have won points towards let- ter awards. A special award is given to the senior girl who in her four years has been foremost in athletic ability, service, participation and attendance. Two members, Nancy Grove and Flossie Graham, were awarded state plaques for having gained 350 points apiece.

In order to succeed in intramural basket- ball one must be able to play the most complex group of activities occurring Jn one athletic event: football ' s mad scramble for lost bolls, volleyball ' s tipping of balls over the net, soccer ' s kicking follow- ing poor dribbling— all these wrapped up in basket- ball ' s rules and regulations. Overseeing this ore referees involved in a game of guessing— in which they usually guess wrong. Eight teams, each cap- tained by a senior boy, competed, with Ronnie Flow- ers ' team winning. Bob Huffman was high point man of the year. Beyond the longing of the intramural bowlers to learn to bowl is the desire for fellowship. Four teams met every Monday night during basketball season. Don Kaade had the best average with 154, and Larry Colen had the highest seasonal record with 234. Both intramural basketball and intramural bowling are under the capable guidance of Mr. Gene Edington.

In quick succession came the choosing of a theme, drawing layouts, making a dummy, and writing copy. No one kept count of the long hours spent Thursdays after school. As the deadline drew closer, the staff rushed to finish copy, to have pictures taken, and to tie many loose ends together. After the yearbook was sent to the printer, the staff worried whether it would be printed in time, and if they had given the right name to the right person in all those pictures. When the Retrospects were distributed, the students were asking their friends, Would you sign my yearbook? , and exclaiming, Don ' t you think this is a good picture of me?

At the opening of school the council has the important job of seeing that each student receives his correct schedule. Throughout the year the council distributes special bulletins to home rooms, runs the check room during the invitational tourney, and assists at College Night. The Student Council ' s over-all function is to help solve the endless problems that involve the student body and to bring a closer cooperation between faculty and students. Their main problem this year dealt with commence- ment invitations. After careful consideration they adopted a standard form of card which will lower the price of commencement invitations, not only for this year but for three more years. Officers this year were president, Larry Smith; vice-president. Bob Frantz; and secretary-treasurer, Claudia Hart. Y. Davis, D. Huss, L. Smith, K. Mann talk over problems put before the Student Council. B. Frantz, L. Smith, C.

Some of their work was seen in the pictures which lined the halls during Christmas. Through the years the Dabblers ' money-making project has been op- erating the check room during ball games. Along with fun filled parties, the club made a trip to Chi- cago in the spring visiting the Art Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry.

The outstanding party was at Christmas where entertainment consisted of a puppet show, the modeling of Spanish costumes, and the singing of Christmas carols in Spanish. The club has chosen for its name and club song Don Qui ofe. The purposes of the organization are to add mean- ing to the study of the Spanish language and to provide fun.

October ninth produced an unusual sight when 31 boys went to classes dressed in T-shirts, ties, sport jackets, and jeans turned wrong-side-out. This was part of their initiation into the Hi-Y club. When the fun was over these boys found, as others have for the past forty years, the real satisfaction of being a part of a fellowship of boys. A variety of programs was presented to the Hi-Y members throughout the year. Under the leadership of Larry Smith, Bob Frantz, John Phillips, Ed Mason, John Fryback and Rick Fair the club furnished food and toys for three families in Bluffton. To help finance their worth- while projects, the boys operated the concession stand during the basketball games. Outstanding so- cial events were the Father-Son Banquet and the an- nual Best Girl Banquet. Leff: Mr. Uln Ith, and Paul De Top row: J. Licking, C. Luginbill, J. Kunkel, J. Isch, D. McForren, J.

TOWARDS MORAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT The purpose of the Y-Teens is to build a fellow- ship of women and girls devoted to the task of real- izing in our common life those ideals of Christian, personal, and social service. The Y-Teen schedule was started with the initiation of 75 girls at the Best Beau Banquet in October. Hairstyling tips and interfaith marriages are two of the topics that the girls learned more about during meetings. At Christ- mas the Y-Teen club furnished food and clothing for a family in Bluffton. Members also gave to the World Fellowship Fund which goes to the people of the Philippine Islands. The committee on religion provided devotions at each of the meetings. In Feb- rurary the officers— Kathy Thompson, Gloria Dubach, Peggy Cook, and Anita Heyerly— and committee chairmen and co-chairmen attended a conference at Anderson. For their last function the girls paid tribute to their mothers by honoring them at the Mother-Daughter Tea.

The girls that work in the office carry messages quickly to teachers and students, assist in answering the tele- phone, act as receptionists, and do other general clerical work to help the regular office force. An- other equally important group, having longer and more unusual hours, are the light and sound boys. These boys, Lee Bender, Lorry Colen, and Mark Bailer, come to school early many mornings, stay late in the afternoons, and come back for the eve- nings to make sure the lighting and public address system function for any group that uses the gymna- sium. Still another group that should be recognized for the services they perform is the bookstore help- ers. One sees Gayle Aschliman and Linda Wolfcale at their post behind the wandering bookstore whether it is before school in the lower corridor or at noon in the gym. In a pleasant and helpful way these girls give assistance to all who need it. Their job also includes taking inventory and ordering supplies. These groups work behind the scenes to help others. They are never given enough recognition for oil they do and the responsibility they take.

It received its charter at Bluffton High School in 1952. Since then students hove participated in skits and plays to earn the required 15 points for member- ship. Under the leadership of Mr. McNown, Thes- pian members study how to act. They also learn the importance of applying grease paint correctly. Different effects that lighting can produce become more apparent to the club members. New terms such as down stage, right stage, left, exit and up- staging were added to their vocabulary. Besides learning how to be a part of a play, they also dis- cussed the qualities of a good play. During one of the meetings, the members gave their personal opinions of plays and movies that they had recently seen. Margaret Rose and John Rosie presented a short skit entitled The Census Taker during another meeting. Six Thespian members had a one-act ploy entitled The Christmas Pearl ready to present for the Christmas convocation. The play vividly pointed out that concern for others is the real spirit of Christmas. Because of adverse weather conditions, school was dismissed so the play was cancelled. This was a disappointment to the cast as well as to the student directors, Kathy Kline and Kenneth Mann, who had all spent many hours at rehearsals. The Thespian Society is sponsored by Mr. Mc- Nown. The officers for the year were Bill Deihl, president; Carol Ringger, vice-president; Jo Wolf, secretary; Suzanne Spaid, treasurer; and Judy Bierie, scribe.

In Dobie ' s effort to win Helen, he almost wrecks the school lob, fails to get Helen elected as Miss Echo, and hires Stella Kowalski ' s Schottische Five, whose spe- Lithuanian Band auditions to ploy for school don cialty is Lithuanian weddings, for the school dance. The many hours spent on rehearsals became tire- some for the cast, but the success of the play made the long hours worth while. Behind-the-scene com- mittees such as costumes, properties and make-up helped to make the play more effective. SCHOOL COMEDY, COURT PROCEDURES Back row: B. Frontz, K. Langel, B. Delhi, J.

McFar Langel, Mr. McNo FEATURED IN CLASS PRODUCTION The Senior play, The Night of January Six- teenth, was quite different from any other recent play performed here. The scene was a court room, the action a trial with members of the audience making up the jury. Karen- Andre, played by Cynthia Wolf, was on trial for the murder of her employer. Borne Faulker. Her attorney, played by Kenny Langel, and the prosecuting attorney, Kenny Mann, kept the action moving with dramatic ex- aminations, cross examinations and summaries to the jury. The seriousness of the play was often broken by unsusual comedy witnesses like Mogva Svenson, played by Kathy Kline, and a Negro maid, played by Judy Bierie. The jury, selected when the audience gathered, decided whether the ac- cused was innocent or guilty. The play had dif- ferent endings for each decision. Every member of the class worked on committees which contributed to the success of the play. Since most of the ports in the play were older people, the make-up com- mittee was faced with a difficult job, but they succeeded so well that the night of the ploy the committee was congratulated on their work. Friends and relatives responded eagerly to sales efforts by the class. Center, right: Jo Wolf, in hysteric friend is dead. Sifting: R. Yode Langel, G. Marks, and J. Wolf K. Kehoe sworn in as D.

CHEERBLOCK ROARS 4 J Bluffton ' s Cheerblock, one of the largest organ- ized groups of its kind in the county, is composed of 192 girls. Since its origin in 1952, it has become one of the most popular aspects of school life. These peppy Tiger boosters overcame such obstacles as hoarse voices, exhausted lungs and bad weather to support their team. The girls came to school early some mornings and gave up home room periods to practice the original yells and formations Vi ' hich drew many compliments from fans and visitors. The school colors are emphasized by the red and block jerseys and set off by the white gloves that are worn by the Tiger pep club. At the Sectional red felt hats with black feathers and booster buttons added more color to their attire. Cheerblock mem- bers worked as a team following their leaders and backed the Tigers with true school spirit.

Along with all of their hard work the Varsity Cheerleaders enjoyed the privilege of eating with the team. B-Team Cheerleaders were elected for the first time this year. Twirlers, under the leadership of head majorette Melinda Hauk and drum major Mike Boonstra, pro- vided entertainment at halffime for all home foot- ball games and during some basketball games. Their exhibitions showed grace, precision and competent training which added to spectator enjoyment of local gomes. The cheerleaders are under the direction of Mr. Park and the twirlers of Mr. Baxter. Top: M. Boonstra Row 2: M. Stef- fen, M. Hauk Row 3: C. McCarty, J. Wa:ker Row 4: L. Gilliom, J. Krinn, C.

The Comet helped newcomers get acquainted with the procedures of the school, named the various clubs, gave words of school songs, and explained the many awards pro- grams offered. It presented the names of the new faculty members, and listed courses offered by the school. The Freshmen soon learned that the Comet is their guide in acquainting themselves with the procedures and activities at Bluffton High School. SCHOOL LIFE IS A MANY-SIDED WAY ons students learn program from the National Aero- Administration representative. 72 As the plates come down, the servers put on the food and place the plote on the serving tray. OF GROWTH THROUGH WORK AND PLAY School life represents a bewildering schedule of activities, many of them only casually related to formol education. Everyone realizes that no person can do his best work on an empty stomach; there- fore the new lunch program was established. Having a lunch program at school was found to be safer, faster, and more economical for all concerned. In the beginning gripes and complaints were heard about the amounts served; consequently, the size of servings was increased. After lunch the kids sit on the bleachers and relax and talk over their prob- lems. Before the minute bell rings, between class periods, they get together again in little knots in the halls to discuss school problems, boy-girl affairs, and all that variety of activities which make up a teenager ' s life. To create a little change in the everyday schedule and to add some zest to the lives of the students, convocations are occasionally pre- sented to the entire student body. The student, leav- ing the school at the end of the day, has the assured feeling that another day will soon come in which he can begin where he left off in yesterday ' s activities. These two students leave the school at day ' s end only to return 73 STUDENTS SHARE ACTIVITY AND STUDY Everyday at BHS students crowd halls, tote books, slam locker doors, complain about homework, and rush to the lunch line. This is routine, but beyond these come all of those activities which to a stu- dent odd up to a full, satisfying life. There is the band, not only a class the first period every morn- ing, but also a chance to play at ballgames, march in parades, and give special performances. Fre- quent pep sessions boost team morale and give everybody an opportunity to let the teams know the school is backing them. Sometimes a class com- bines its talent and wits to advertise class plays, providing us with amusing entertainment at convos. But not all convos are for fun. Oftentimes guest speakers come to interest students in hobbies, sci- ence, music, and the professions. Other school functions include dances sponsored by the Senior Class, held in the Central School Gym. These dances are open to BHS students only and are held after Friday night home ballgames. For the upperclassmen, the big event of the year is the semi-formal Junior-Senior Reception. All members of the Junior Class and many of their parents plan and work long hours to create an elegant atmo- sphere and a fitting dinner for the guests of honor, the Senior Class and the Faculty. If the old adage is true that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, then Bluffton ' s many extra-curricular activities should produce well rounded Jacks and Jeans!

The American Legion and the Rotary Club held their annual speech con- tests, suggesting topics which were chosen to arouse teenagers ' interest in their country. Bluffton ' s civic groups sent a Boy ' s State and a Girl ' s State repre- sentative from our school to Indiana University, giv- ing each of them a chance to learn about the operation of government. The TB Association award- ed gifts to the five winners in the TB essay contest. The D.A.R. Good Citizen, selected by the Senior Class and faculty, was chosen for her leadership, dependability, service, and patriotism. All the win- ners are honored at a special dinner in the early spring.

Looking back, we remember the excitement of that first day, our elation or grief on report card day, the ballgomes we either won or lost, the thrill of wearing our cream cords for the first time, and the sorrow of that final day. These years have made lasting impressions on our lives. They hove helped to moke us what we are. We thank all those teachers and parents, students and friends, who have guided us through these critical years. Now it is all over. Never again will we mingle with our friends as students in the halls of BHS; never again will we back our Tigers through the cheerblock; never again will we be members of the athletic teams of BHS; never again will the mem- bers of our class be together as they are today. But we must stop looking backward and begin look- ing with anticipation toward the future. The time has come for us to separate, each of us going his own way. We must turn over our duties, respon- sibilities, and privileges to the Seniors of 1965. We wish them luck and truly hope their senior year will be as rewarding and as unforgettable as ours has been.
