r' ...XO S Af 2 we w S I S l - S w V. S xv u JI' Superintendent s Message In this golden anniversary year, it is peculiarly fitting to reflect on the educational history made and marked by the passing of fifty mileposts of educa- tional progress in BluH'ton. During this time eleven hundred and sixty-six stu- dents have been granted diplomas and gone forth to contribute to that prog- ress. To those who have thus set the pace we offer our sincere congratulations. What the next fifty years may bring forth we may only speculate. However, as attendance has increased, curriculum expanded and enriched, and school plant facilities enlarged, so now it takes but a glance at the blue prints to show that N this year will see the erection of an '- addition that will provide a high school plant and facilities second to none any- where. With these enlarged facilities must ever go the Bluffton Spirit. Together let us carry on in the interests of righteousness and truth. A. J. B. Longsdorf. A. J. B. LONGSDORF, Ph. B., A. M,-Mr. Longsdorf came to Bluffton in the fall of 1925 to take up his duties as superintendent of B. H. S. After receiving his Ph. B. from Wooster in 1912, he served as principal of Cygnet High School from 1918-1925. In 1921 he received his A. M. from Columbia University. W, , . X 3 Q9 Q94 'Z N 4 ' ,- X 4 f .

Hall Hiram Locher Bluffton-Richland Board of Education We, the students of Bluffton High School, are grateful to the Board of Educa- tion for their sincere efforts and their hearty enthusiasm in furthering the passage of the Bond Issue. In this connection special tribute should be given to Mr. Longs- rlorf and the Citizens' Committee for their untiring leadership in the efforts toward a better institution. We feel that it has been due to the school boards of the past that Bluffton High School has been recognized as a member of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges on whose approved list we have been since 1912. Especially grateful are we to the first Board and those others who made possible thc additions the school has received since 1881. We sincerely hope that the directors of the future will strive as conscientiously to maintain this as one of the outstanding schools of the state. Since the people of this community have never refused any suggestion that meant better education, we are confident that the children in years to come will obtain the benefits of a new and wider educational experience. Un- doubtedly Bluffton will contribute in the future, as in the past and present, an enviable group of this country's influential citizens and leaders. -3 i Y 5 2 4 N ,J -J sf? i C259 '29 Vw U , I 12 Q Qg'Zg
