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

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.

'q3l X- .. J I HAROLD BELL-Harold, another product of Orange Township, was an old stand- by of the Glee Club. Every Monday and Wednesday for four years his hearty bass has been heard ringing out through the halls in combination with that of many others. His smile, greeting all with equal friendliness, and his red hair have come to be an established fixture of the school and will be equally missed next year. CLEDA BINKLEY-Cleda comes to us from the railroad section-no, we don't mean that she works on the railroad, but just that it's near her home. She's little but she certainly makes up for her size by her happy disposition and willingness to take her share of the so-called burden of high school life. Her smiling face is seen in various corners of the Study hall, in the Library and even in the orchestra. JAMES BIXEL-James was an artist. If you doubt the truth of this statement you need only to glance through the pages of this Annual to find a multitude of proof without which this book would not be complete. His interest and loyalty to his Alma Mater are also shown in his faithful attendance of band, orchestra and Glee Club re- hearsals. He was one of the most interested and active Hi-Y members. FRANCES CRIBLEZ-Frances, with brown eyes and dark black hair, is a friend that cannot be found everywhere. She always greets you with a smile. Although Frances lives in the country, it does not keep her from being an active, loyal, ever- dependable G. R. member. She excels in one thing, and that is making grades. gin the honor roll, or at the head in her classes, or in orchestra, she was always ere. ROLAND BIXLER-Our truly Napoleon Bonaparte, Roney, has certainly been an asset to our class through his optimistic temperment and his ability to work. Some people are in no way content without all the work that can possiblv taker their time. and Nemo is just that sort. His fine managing ability is seen in this volume, of which he was Editor-in-Chief. Aside from this. he has entered many activities. He further showed his exceptional executive abilitv by piloting our class through 1929-'30. Roland's ambition is to be a lawyer, and certainly he has made a creditable start as he is State N. F. L. Extemporaneous Speech Champ. DORA DILLMAN-Dora is one of the most prominent of our High School warblers. Her contribution to the girl's Glee Club has been very outstanding. In her Sophomore year Dora left us and went to Detroit, but for four years she has been Working patiently. Her ability is not limited to music alone, as is proven by the fact that she has taken a prominent part in the various dramatic productions of our school. I' I I J l J 4 K r r v !
