Did you say four score and sixty weeks ago? It hardly seems possible that we, then as a freshmen class, seeking more knowledge, are now ready to be graduated from Bluffton High School. Graduated only to begin again, for does not commencement mean beginning? This time it will mean the beginmng of a bigger and better life in the world. As infants we finally waded through our xniseries, and selected Garfield Griffith as class president Louise Benroth, vice-presidentg and Marguerite Geiger, sec treas with Mr Stettler as ploctor. The Junior-Freshman reception was a never- to be forgotten affalr We also had a Hallowe'en party, entertaining the faculty. Our Sophomore year we came back with more assurance and boldness, determined to show the students we had changed color We entrusted the duties of president in the person of Rosella Montgomery wlth Woodrow Lugenbuhl as her assistant. Mr. Stettler was again chosen as our advisor When we entered as Juniors we had a three fold aim to fulfill putting over, first a good Jun1orFrosh reception second, our clfass play, Skiddingg and, the Junior Senior Banquet This rlimaxed the year as a great success. Roland Bixler Robeson as advisor Last but indeed not least came our Senior year, the most memorable of all. Long will we cherish the happy times we spent together.

He did not specialize in only one field of athletics but in all fields. Whether it was on the football field, the basketball floor, or baseball diamond he could be depended upon to play consistently. His ability was not limited to athletics alone, as is seen by the fact that he carried a leading role in the public speaking and the senior class play. NEVA BADERTSCHER-Neva, with her pleasing' personality, has won renown and in many activities she is found. Neva is an expert accompanist, and a very convincing debater. She was on the debate team which won first place in the State N. F. L. contest at Youngstown. When Neva is around, you are sure of a good time. She is looking forward to college life. Now already she is very important in the eyes of one at college. NELSON BASINGER-Nelson Basinger has contributed much to Bluffton High School. He is a little shy of girls. Since we cannot all be great leaders, Nellie has proven himself to be one of the best followers. and hardest workers in school, both in study and athletics. We are sure that Nellie will make good, because he can always e be depended upon to do his part. Who will be the lucky girl? ALEEINE BALMER-Dark brown curly hair and a 1'eady smile make Aleene a friend to many. It is in musical lines that Aleene displayed her ability, for she did her share in the glee club and played in the orchestra for several years. Everyone who knows Aleene, has found in her a loyal friend. C. E. work has also found a part of her time and talent. JOHN BEAGLE-Hailing from the wilds of Orange Township this lad became our outstanding scientist. Recognition of his love for scientific experiments was shown by the fact that for two years he acted as lab assistant in Chemistry and Physics. Nor did John confine himself to Physics and Chemistry books. In his Senior year he very capably filled the office of Hi-Y secretary and was chosen by the Junior Hi-Y to be their Senior Hi-Y Advisor. LOUISE BENROTH- What'll you have? as she hands you a glass of water over the counter. This is Lou at the Elks Restaurant. Besides chatting with Little Nemo over the counter or dodgeing with him through the country, she finds time to collect jokes Kas well as distribute thembp and acts her part as leading lady in the class play together with her part in G. R. and no small share in the use of her vocal chords. 60 D8 g4DQX- ' 19 J J
