Mr. Harshbarger was made overseer for the second time. During the year we entertained the Freshmen and Seniors. We also managed to entertain ourselves with a party. Our pirates carried off honors in athletics, music and debate. For the last time our pirates set sail in 1929. At our first meeting Carl Smucker was again elected captain with Elvira Niswander as first mate and Carolyn Romey second mate. As Mr. Harshbarger had proved a capable leader in past years he was chosen for the third consecutive time as overseer. During the year we were entertained by a thrilling and terrifying Hallowe'en party by Mr. and honors. Carl Smucker Mrs. Harshbarger at their home. This year climaxed our success. We were represented in debate, football, basketball, tennis and music. We have learned to some extent all that is necessary for the struggle with life, so we are leaving our battered ship to the oncoming pirates and will set sail in our own ships upon the sea of life.

J S' ll Pr it-2.4esf+ ' Sophomore Class History In September 1928, a cast of eighty performers made their debut on the stage of education. We knew that if our show was to be a success we would need a stage director. We decided that Manley Thompson would be a good one, but, fearing lest he be too overburdened with his duties, we chose Mabel Herr to assist him. All companys need money so we installed Eva Luginbuhl to finance the show. Finally, someone suggested that we would be certain of success if we added a chief overseer to our staff to see that everything ran smoothly. We promptly voted to let Miss Lapp fill that position. At first it was hard to adjust ourselves to stage life, but soon everything started to run smoothly. Cast number three gave a reception in our honor to ini- tiate us into stage life. Later we staged a party for ourselves. Soon, however, the lure of knowledge overshadowed the glory of stardom for one player who dropped out. A few others, too, could not stand the strain of such a life and gave up their careers for other stations. The rest pledged faithfully to come back next year with more Prima Donnas and stars. In September 1929, we gain took up our work, this time as cast number two. We are slowly advancing to our goal-cast number four. We again went through the ordeal of electing a staff. This time Ralph Locher directed, Robert Balmer assisted, Robert Ewing handled the money and Mr. Stettler was overseer. Many of our actors and actresses received applause for their fine acting in the fields of athletics, music and activities. The curtain dropped on a successful year. Twenty-eight 5 -P V .

After a few days at sea we found that for a successful journey we must choose an able captain and several others to assist him. So, for our captain we chose Don Smucker, and assisting him Dwight Diller, and Gordon Alderfer to take care of any money matters that might arise during the first voyage. After this we were ready to unfurl our sails of Purple and Gold. Upon entering the first harbor we were given a royal reception by the Juniors, two years our superiors. Our crew was represented in athletics ffootball and basketballj, social activities fGirl Reserves and Hi-YJ, and in the high school orchestra and band. In December the breakers rolled high, but with such a talented crew our boat could not be in danger long. Soon the sea calmed and we were sailing smoothly on toward our goal. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so on February 12, 1930, we for- got our studies and had our first party which proved to be a great success. Our first trip was a success, but we do not intend to let this end our voyage, for the farther we go we see what a trifle we know, but by annually bettering our boat and crew we shall find that we are arriving closer to our destination, Educa- tion.

THEOLA STEINER Theola was the first affir- mative debater who proved her point well. Her gradu- ation will cause her Hne de- livery and enthusiasm to be sorely missed next year. MAE BELLE AMSTUTZ This was Mae Belle's first year of debating. She made great progress during the year. She showed her abil- ity in the Kenton debate. Her graduation will leave a hard place to fill.

He is a Junior and next year should find him one of the leaders in the squad. CAROLD STEINER Caroldls knowledge of the question proved to be a valuable asset to the affir- mative squad.

It has successfully met larger schools and convinced them that size does not matter but evidence and eloquence do. This year, due to the excellent training received from the coach, Bluffton was able to go far toward capturing the championship in the state debating tournament. The affirmative won all of its debates but one while the negative won all but two. When only two debates from the finals, the negative, through no fault of its own, lost to Fremont. The members of the squads who did not get to debate before judges, took part in a number of non-decision debates. Although eight members of the squad will graduate, the remaining students show promise of another successful year. The Public Speaking Department at the beginning of each year gives a play. The plays in the past have been very successful and this season's play was no exception. It was The Thirteenth Chair, and combined mystery, romance, and honor. It was greatly approved by the public. The debate class was represented in numerous extemporaneous speaking con- tests. These contests were held at Wooster, Ohio Wesleyan, Wittenberg and Western Reserve. Bluffton was also represented in the Northwest Ohio Oratorical Contest. This year's program has been the largest and most successful in the history of the school. Public speaking is filling a real place in our high school activities and many students are availing themselves of the opportunities offered.

Roland Bixler In the spring of 1928 Bluffton High School organized a local chapter of the National Forensic League. Its purpose is to promote greater interest in inter- scholastic debates, oratory, and public speaking. This year sixteen students were eligible for membership. This is the largest number since the founding of the league chapter. Its outstanding accomplishment was the promotion of class debates which were won by Freshmen. It was the first time in the history of the high school that inter- class debates were encouraged. Great things can be expected from this honorary organization.

But now it is a vital part of the school and an aid in solving its difficulties. It attempts to see and to solve the students' problems. It is interested in the solution of these problems and has for one of its pur- poses, the enacting of such flexible laws and regulations, that problems of student conduct with others are greatly lessened. It is composed of eleven members who represent every class and activity of the school. It also has faculty members for advisors. It is not the aim of the Senate to be one of repression but of helpfulness to the students. It carries out its policies for the good of the entire student body and according to school aims. It often acts as a court of investigation in a mis- demeanor, and decides guilty or not, in the former case it will pass a sentence and determine punishment. It is a cooperative body between the faculty and the students. It cannot be overemphasized that its success lies not in the number of decisions and punishments rendered but in the cooperative action with the student body.

The staff Worked hard, in the hope that their book would outclass all preceding' ones. Perseverance and cooperation helped to fulfill this purpose. The annual staff observed closely all school happenings and recorded them in this book. Although the Annual is the result of hard work on the part of the staf, it represents the entire Senior class. Whether it will be a failure or a success will be determined by the interest and cooperation manifest by the Senior class and by the happy memories it will recall to the minds of all in the future.

Miss Barnard Early in September, fifty boys tried out their vocal ability before their new leader, Miss Barnard. She finally picked twenty-three warblers from the group to uphold the honors gained under Prof. Lantz. Every Monday and Wednesday at the fifth period would come the harmonizing tones of the boys, rehearsing their favorite numbers. The club sang at The Farmers Institute and at chapel programs. Their con- test piece Wolf was worked out successfully and only by constant practice was it able to reach the final goal which it started to win. From this club Miss Barnard chose a quartet consisting of Wayne Galloway, Kenneth Gratz, Clayton Bucher and Stanley Niswander. These boys furnished much delightful entertainment for many special occasions at which they sang. All in all, the Glee Club did fine work and Bluffton has a right to be proud of its musical ability.

However, things brightened, and they were again on the road to success when Miss Barnard took his place. Her first task was to choose thirty voices from sixty singers. The club met every Tuesday and Thursday for forty-five minutes. Surely the teachers and pupils will always have fond memories of the melodious songs such as Lindy Lou, Rus- sian Lullaby, A Merry Life and others. Because of the love for good music and Miss Barnard's interpretation the members looked forward to rehearsals for pleasure as well as learning. Several high points of the year were singing at The Farmers Institute, at debates and in chapel programs. However, the club was not only successful at home, but Carolyn Romey and Josephine Steiner represented the club in the State meeting of high schools at Columbus. Throughout the year preparations were made for the eisteddfod at Bow- ling Green. The artistic ability and the thorough musicianship of the new director, Miss Barnard, made the activities of the Girls' Glee Club varied and very interesting this year.

Strug- gling, for the loss of many former members, the orchestra was again on its own feet when new members were added making a total of thirty-five players. The iinal goal this year was placed at Oberlin on April 25. The two contest numbers were At Sunset and The Hill Billys Dance by Carl Busch, with The March of the Boyards as the select number. Beside the contest there was other constructive work done on other numbers which the orchestra played at chapel, plays, and other performances. Honorable mention should be given to those who were chosen as members of the All State Orchestra? Those representing Bluffton were Virginia Tripplehorn, Norma Luginbuhl, Corinn King and Elvira Niswander. The credit for the orchestra's success must, in a large part, be given to Mr. Hauenstein our conductor. His untiring' efforts to schedule practices and his ability of interpreting and choosing good music, has made the orchestra what it is.

There was not much outstanding contest work done, but the band did compete at a contest at Upper Sandusky, May 17. The selection played was Atlantis Suite by Safranek. A football game was not complete unless the band was there to enthuse at players. Likewise at basketball games the band furnished entertainment. Several times throughout the year the band played at assembly periods. At all these the band performed creditably. As with the orchestra, much of this credit must be given to Mr. Hauenstein, who through his untiring eforts has made the band what it is.

Man or Mouse is a play written especially for school dramatic clubs and has been thoroughly tested in leading high school and universities. Because of this fact it is free from any objectionable features found in New York plays. The story centers around Russel Van Horn, a young man of high ideals but without a Hghting spirit, who is sent to a small community to take charge of a con- struction gang. He soon antagonizes the leader of the gang and complications arise which are finally worked out with the aid of Peggy Lou, a vivacious young girl from the small town. Comedy is furnished by Nappy, a walking encyclopedia from the small town. Rainbow Runkel, the guardian of the peace, and Old Proby, a Civil War veteran. Other characters are equally interesting.

But Wayne Trenton, who is engaged to Marian, objects to her entering politics. To make matters worse Myra and Estelle, two married daughters, leave their husbands and come home. Also Grandpa Hardy and Aunt Milly try to aid the family by their advice, while Andy, a young brother, keeps the audience laughing by his unexpected entrences and budding ambitions.

He arrived at a hotel, and upon finding his niece and nephew there, warned them that for this occasion he was Mr. Wright. The lady detective arrived at the hotel at the same time and persuaded Wright to remain there for an indefinite time. His clerk, the thief, had also taken the name of Wright and so she looked at him as her victim. Circumstantial evidence formed a web about him and he found himself in a complicated position.

It is not good for the players, student body or partisan spectators to permit the game to absorb their minds to the point of bitterness. The Friday and Saturday contests between schools calls for good humor on the part of the players, students and spectators who take a lively interest in them. It is only by keeping sweet that we are benefited. The spirit of the game is ani- mating, stirs latent emotion. A few lusty cheers are good for the people and there should be enough of these at every game. But it is well to remember that always intense rivalries call for good losers at the end of the game.

THE SLOGAN: Clean Speech, Clean Ath- letics, Clean Scholarship, Clean Living and Con- tagious Christian Charac- ter.- The Junior Hi-Y Club The Junior Hi-Y has been very successful and active in the school year 1929-30. The Purpose and Slogan of this club are stated above. Also an informal pur- pose of the club is to prepare the fellows for the Senior Hi-Y. It has been customary for the Senior Hi-Y to give the Freshmen a mixer at the beginning of each school year. But this year since the Junior Hi-Y was pro- gressing so well, it was given the privilege to entertain the Freshmen. The club made a trip to Lima to visit the Y and to have a joint meeting with the Lima club. The club also gave a party during the year which was some- thing new for it. At the end of the school year the club gave a meeting for the Eighth Grade boys to tell them something of the work they were doing and their purpose and slogan. The club sent the President to the Older Boys' Conference at Findlay, December 6, 7 and 8. The meetings are held at the homes of the members. Occasionally outings are taken. At the meetings every-day problems are discussed. Religion is a common topic. After the meetings the boys get together for a good time. --R. B. The Senior Hi-Y Club This year has been the most successful year of the BluH:ton Hi-Y Club since it was founded in this high school. At the beginning of the year the club chose to have a Club Room in partner- ship with the Legion. This club room was used for meetings, parties, games, such as pool, cards, checkers, ping-pong, dominoes and was also furnished with reading material of the best type. This year the new members were taken in at a colorful induction ceremony which was very impressive. Members taken in late in this year were Weldon Lightner, William Wells, Thomas Perry and John Beagle. Some events sponsored by the Hi-Y Club are the Father and Son banquet, Marquis Magician program and the Jack Hardy program. With this money earned the Hi-Y sends some to World Brotherhood, Education of Foreigners, Camp Nelson Dodd, representatives are sent the conferences at Findlay, Columbus and some will be sent to Camp Nelson Dodd. The club discusses problems of the school and community and in all under- takings tries to uphold standards of Christian living. The Club held joint meetings with the Junior Hi-Y, the Y. M. C. A. and one evening entertained the Central Club as a return entertainment received from thm earlier in the year. These joint meetings were enjoyed very much. -E. G. G. P!

J QZ15 M, Nfl The Girl Reserve The Girl Reserve is the one organization in the High School whose purpose it is to help the girls of the High School to find and give the best. This club is a chapter of the national club and received its charter five years ago. The club was established by the Y. W. C. A. of Bluffton College to give the girls of the High School an organization in which they could discuss the problems of their High School life. This year has been one of the most successful years of the club, due in a large part to the capable leadership of our president, Elvira Niswander. At the beginning of the school year the G. R. entertained all the girls of the High School. One of the cabinet gave a brief sketch of the G. R. so those unacquainted with the organi- zation might learn something about it. The next meeting was in the form of an initiation at which time all those who wished to become members were taken in the Club. The programs during the year, consisting of special numbers, short talks or discussion, were a great benefit and interest to all the members. It was the pro- gram committee, under the leadership of Olga Phillips, which made our programs of such great benefit and interest. On Thanksgiving the club gave some money to one of our needy families. On Christmas the club promoted the spirit of good will by going caroling. The Y. W. C. A. of the college entertained the G. R. at Ropp Hall one evening. At this meeting the Y. W. furnished the fun and the G. R. the program. The G. R. carried out several projects this year. In February the club held a Mother-Daughter meeting at the high school auditorium. After the program which was centered about the theme Mother, there was a social time. Later on in the year the G. R. held a public performance. The program consisted of a pantomime Before and After depicting life of the Hindu before and after accepting Chist, and also a comedy Just Like a Woman. In everything the G. R. undertook they did it with the idea of creatng a spirit of fellowship and living up to the highest Christian principles. Under the leader- ship of the president and the Faculty Advisor Miss Kimmel, the G. R. did help the girls to help and find the best. To the girls of Bluffton High School, as to the knights of old, came a vision of Holy Grail and a voice through the waiting night: Follow, follow, follow the gleamg Standards of worth o'er all the world, Follow, follow, follow the gleam, Of the light that shall bring the dawn.

She was a friend to every player. She devoted much of her time and energy to turn out a successful girls' team. She was a hard worker and could always be depended on to carry out and to cooperate with the athletic program. Much of the team's sucess must be placed where it belongs, that is with the coach. Sixty-two Mr. A. J. Robeson This was 'Jack's' first year with Bluffton High School. He has already placed himself in a posi- tion of respect and honor by the athletic teams he has turned out. He knows coaching from A to Z and was able to put it across through his Pirates. A fine spirit of cooperation could always be found in this Pirate leader. He believed in true sports- manship and so was able to help the team get training which will help them in the battle of life. We are fortunate in having such a capable man at the head of the athletic program. I Mr. Sidney C. Stettler Few realize the responsibility of an athletic manager. His duties are many and his rewards are few. It is the athletic manager who arranges all schedules, who sells the tickets, who engages officials looks after the equipment and sees that the finances are on rock bottom and not quick sand. These are the few duties that Mr. Stettler has to perform. A better manager could not be found. He is interested in clean sports and al- ways strives to make a way for Blufton High to win honors. Let us not forget our manager when we are thinking of our success in athletics. N95 ,EAST-N55-Q J' ' A Cheer Leaders Marcella O.

The Dragonis were unable to stop the crushing Pirate attack. Bluffton opened the game in great style by scoring on the first play as a result of a 60-yard run by Triplehorn. A few minutes later Triplehorn intercepted a pass and again traveled about 60 yards for another score. Ludwig also thrilled the crowd when he grabbed a blocked punt and went 20 yards for a touchdown. Captain Griffith displayed some snappy line plunging. September 28 Blujfton 52-Van Wert 0 Van Wert did not prove to have much opposition for the Pirates. Triplehorn repeated his feat of the Central game and on the first play went through the line for 50 yards and a touchdown. He also showed the Van Wert team how to catch difficult passes. Griffith's plunges netted a few touchdowns while Smucker made yards by running back punts. Not once did Van Wert threaten to score. October 5 Bluffton 12-Bellefontaine 7 In the first home game the Pirates conquered the invaders in a thrilling battle. Although outweighed twenty-five pounds to the man, they held the Bellefontaine eleven to striking scoring distance only once. The Pirate forward wall played a good game. Both of Bluff'ton's scores came as a result of passes. October 18 Blajfton 38-Shawnee 0 The Pirates determined to get revenge for last year's tie, romped over the Indians to the tune of 38 to 0. Fine open field running by Triplehorn and accurate passing by Captain Griffith featured in the game. Bluffton did all its scoring in the first half. Shawnee only threatened to score once. October 25 Bluffton 27-Liberty Twp. 0 In this game the Pirate attack was slowed down by a muddy field. Captain GrifI ith's consistent gains through the line put the pig skin in scoring distance many times. As the gun cracked Triplehorn received a punt and carried it 50 yards for the last score. The Pirate defense kept Liberty from any consistent gaining. This was the first that Blufton ever met Liberty Twp. in a football game. Sixty-six M9 IS.

November 15 Bluffton 0-Pandora 7 Though doped to Win the Pirates dropped their only game to Pandora. Overconfi- dence and underestimation of the opposition's ability did much to defeat Bluffton.

Unfortunately the Pirates could not get going and dropped the game by six points. This was Central's third game. The next game was played at Dola. At the beginning of this game Howard Triplehorn, Pirate forward, received a badly fractured leg and the game was canceled. The next game Bluffton traveled to Pandora who proved to be a stiff foe for the Pirates. The game was tied many times but near the end Blufton forged ahead and won 24-18. Then Bluffton traveled to Vaughnsville to meet an undefeated team on a small Hoor. This team knew their Hoor while Bluffton was lost among the rafters and the Pirates lost another game. Ada was the second invader on the Pirates, Hoor. They displayed good basket- ball but were outclassed in every respect by Bluffton. The final score was Bluffton 22, Ada 12. This year Findlay was added to the list of new rivals. Findlay, a large class A school was given a close run by the Pirates. The game was closer than any other Findlay game had been up to that time except one. Leipsic, a new opponent for this season, gave the Pirates a good run. The game, which was played at Leipsic was very exciting, and ended with BluHton in the lead 25-24. Bluffton was next scheduled to play Kenton. This was the first time in years that Bluffton was in competition with Kenton. The visiting cagers played a stall- ing game and by these tactics defeated the Pirates by a small score. Elida was the next Pirate victim. They were also a new rival but Bluffton had little trouble in defeating them. The final score was 35-21. Columbus Grove, the old traditional rivals, came next. The Pirates lived up to the tradition by defeating them 31-20. The game was not close at any time as the score shows. Next came the Rawson game at Rawson. This was the last scheduled game of the season. In the first half Rawson completely outplayed the Pirates. But be- tween halves the Pirate Chietain changed his tactics, infused new pep in the squad and gave Rawson one of its few defeats this year after overcoming an eight-point lead held by Rawson. A Triplehorn benefit game was arranged between Bluffton and Dola at Bluffton. The Pirates were in their best form and showed Dola what they really could do by snowing them under 42-24. At the tournaments the Pirates drew Shawnee in the first game. The game was very exciting and it ended with Shawnee in the lead by a lone point. This was the first time in years that Bluffton has not won the tournament. SEA SON 'S RECORD Bluffton .,,..., .......,....... C entral Bluffton ......... .........,.............

The year began with two practice games, one with the Alumni, which proved easy going, also another with Mt. Cory which was not so easy but ended in our favor. The first real game of the season was with Dola and will perhaps remain long in our memory because of the accident in the boys' game. In this game we tallied 45 points to our opponents 27. Cn the following night with revengeful hearts for last years defeat and for the defeat in football this year our invincible attack took Pandora into camp 42-12. At Vaughnsville, dancing to keep warm was prohibited, and so we felt it neces- sary to warm up in the game and finally became so hot that the score rose to 48-22. Ada came to our territory the following week and with the courage of former victories we swept them of their feet with a score of 44-3. The one strain in our season was a loss to the strong Findlay team. We were defeated 22-19 partly due to the large floor and to an off night. This defeat, how- ever, only spurred the team on to further efforts. The following week we downed Leipsic 45-30. Kenton made no headway against our splendid guards and lost by a score of 33-3. At Elida the score was 26-15. At the Columbus Grove game the guards were still going strong so the score was 34-17. Only Rawson remained. The Seniors resolved to wind up the season in a fitting manner. The first team entered in the second quarter to overcome a 13-point lead and win 32-15. At the tournament our competition was ordinary till we met Shawnee in the finals. Then we met with the most fight and best playing by any team this season and finally in the last seconds we gain a three-point lead and succeeded in winning the sixth consecutive County Championship 30-27.

Yet the squad holds high hopes of having a successful season. Because no matches have yet been held, the strength of the squad cannot be determined. Matches have been schduled with Bowling Green, Findlay and other neighboring towns. The coaching is done by Mr. Stettler. THE SQUAD Balmer, Alderfer, Romey, Perry, Ludwig, Grifith, Alspach, Steiner, V. Steiner, Whitmer. Seventy-four M95 l Baseball I' xl Baseball was accepted as a regular sport this year when Blufton entered a league consisting of teams from Harrod, Waynesfield, Beaverdam, Lafayette and Bluffton. In the first game this year Bluffton was defeated by Harrod. This happened because of Harrod's experienced team and Bluffton's unexperienced team. Even though the team was dfeated, it shows promise of power. In this game some nice batting was done. In the second game Bluffton defeated Waynesfield 10-2. Much improvement was shown over the former encounter. The Pirates have three more games. The Pirates are planning to win all of them. Bluffton had no experienced men since there was no baseball team last year but they are looking forward to a very successful season. THE SQUAD Outfielders-Amstutz, Crawford, Diller, W. Gratz, Locher, Maidlow, Smucker, Alderfer and Bixel. Infielders-Alspach, Basinger, Coon, Moore, Thompson, Wilkins, Griffith, Cap't. Pitchers-K. Gratz, T. Perry.

He is a Junior and came into the limelight when a Sopho- more by his exceptionally fine playing during the basketball season, although his grid playing is far above the ordinary. Since that time his record is full of spectacular achievements. In 1929 he made the Second All Star team at Columbus in the State Tournament. In the Class B track meet at Colum- bus he was in the broad jump and dashes. During this year's football season he was the outstanding player. At the Dola basketball game our school got one of its toughest breaks for 'Howie' re- ceived a badly fractured leg. The school is grateful for all he has done in its past activities and sincerely hopes that next year he will be the same flashy 'Howie' fighting for his Alma Mater.
