'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 !

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

HAROLD BURKHOLDER-The presence of this lively fellow is as welcome to all the other fellows. as the sunshine, which seems to beam directly into the world from his broad, jovial smile. Harold has been an excellent student in agriculture and mechanicsg which shall prove him a great value to his community. His friendly bass voice can also be heard during glee club rehearsal. RUBY DUDGEON-Ruby's -friendliness and cheerful disposition have won her many friends. Her familiar giggle has almost become an established fixture of the high school. Ruby has been a loyal member of the Girl Reserves club throughout her high school career. Each day you will find her in the library distributing' ibooks, collecting dues, and doing all the duties of a capable librarian. She has also contributed her share toward the success of the Girl's Glee Club. SHERWOOD DILLER-Commercialization is Sherry's chief tendency, for he aims toward bigger and better business enterprises. His ability is displayed in this book, of which he shared the business end, very efficiently. His sunny disposition is known throughout the school, as is also his admiration for the weaker sex. Sherry's earnestness in his other activities has helped to put into everyone the same earnestness, and a desire to do their best. MADELENE GAIFFE- Vivre La France is the cry of this French maid. Few rank above her in the ability to speak and read French, and through this ability she has brought honor to the school in county scholarship contests. Her outside activities have been few, but by her contributions in scholarship and her loyalty to the school, she has contributed greatly to B. H. S. DONAVON GEIGER,-Known as Donnie, this fellow has developed a quiet, deliberate, pleasing manner. He plays a fine game of football and is a. consistently hard player. Since his main interest seems to be in woodworking, it looks as though Donnie would follow in his father's footsteps. Donnie's appearance is at all times pleasing and he greets everyone he knows with a ready smile. MARGUERITE GEIGER- Who said Marguerite plays football? No one, came the reply. Then why does she have that football around her neck? Oh, that's the other half's. We know that basketball claimed no small share of her time, although she didn't fail to lend a helping hand to anyone who applied. As a Home Economics student she couldn't be beat. In between times of day dreaming and studying, she shows her dimples to all who are her friends. .. C-A DQS? i f f
