We present it with the hope that in the vagueness of future years it will bring back anew precious memories of our Alma Mater.

While careful ob- servation of the history of the past reveals the truth of this statement, the present time is witnessing the fulfil- ment in our midst of the educational dreams of several years. As a monument to those dreams, this summer will see the completion of a new and enlarged high school structure,-a modern secondary school plant that will be unequalled anywhere for effective school work,-the tan- gible reality of a dream come true that spells education- ally the bigger and better Bluffton. But a good work-shop or good tools do not of them- selves make a good Workman. It is for us who are here now, students and faculty, to carry on within these enlarged school facilities the true Bluffton spirit. It presents a challenge which is ours to accept. Let us not be weighed in the balances and found wanting, but let us press on towards the attainment of a well-rounded development and life, physically, mentally, and spiri- tually,-that life that was made possible through Him who said, I am come that they might have life and that more abundantly.

No ,sooner had we entered than we had that frightened, greatly embarrassed feeling. So we got together and select- ed the bravest ones to be the leaders! These were Don Smucker, chief leader, Dwight Diller, assistant, and Gordon Alderfer, who took care of the money matters. Miss Lapp helped us to overcome some of Your bashfulness and fear by being our advisor. We were also quite comforted when the Juniors ,gave us a big reception. The next year, 1930, we were back again with a little more courage and our color had slightly faded. We still felt that we should have someone to help us along, so we chose Dwight Diller as presi ent, Gordon Alderfer, vice-president, Meredith Montgomery, secretary-treasurer, an Miss Kimmel, advisor. Our main feature was a theatre party which went over with success. Our third year wasn't bad at all. Our color had practically disappeared. This time the women were given a chance to do something with Helen Hartzler as presi- dent, Eleanor Worthington, vice-president, Dorothy Schumacher, secretary-treasurer. But to keep things balanced, Mr. Stettler gave his f'say to practically everything. We had the honor of giving the Freshmen a reception and the Seniors a banquet. We staged our first class 'play and purchased our class jewelry. Our final appearance was made in 1932-1933. It was necessary that we have two advisors so we chose Mr. Smucker and Mr. Stauffer. Gordon Alderfer served as president, Dwight Diller, vice-president, and Magdalene Bixel, secretary-treasurer. This was our big year. We had the publishing of the annual yearbook. We were also very fortunate in having the opportunity to publish a school paper. We had the honor of staging Goldsmithh ,famous ,classic She Stoops to Conquer. We were given a splendid banquet by- the Juniors. ' During our four short years in Thigh school We represented our respective classes in music, athletics, debating and many other activities, with high honors. The time came when we had to, leave and give our places to the underclassmen. However, our manner in leaving was quite different from that upon entering. It was our sincere hops that the underclasgmen would achieve those attainments that have made ourxhiglckschool the leader it has been in the past. s n Best Alliround Students Each year two students from the Senior class have been chosen who have done the most for the high school during their school careers. These students are chosen by a system adopted by the Student Senate. This system considers worthwhile service rendered the school in the fields of Scholarship, Athletics, Debate, Class Lead- ership, Hi-Y, Girl Reserves, Dramatics, and Instrumental and Vocal Music. The ten highest in the list are chosen to make up the Honor Roll, while the first boy and girl on the list receive added recognition by being given the title of Best All-round Students. A In former years trophies were received by the two highest, but conditions this year have not permitted such a practise. The winners, however, have been content to merely hold this title of distinction. Eleanor 'Worthington and Gordon Alderfer have received the coveted honor this year. We heartily congratulate you, Honor Students, for we feel that your eiforts have greatly contributed toward the success. of our school life. The following have received the greatest number of points. They are ranked in order according to the number of points they have received: Gordon Alderfer, Eleanor Worthington, Dwight Diller, Barbara Hauenstein, Helen Hartzler, John Romey, Dorothy Schumacher, Juanita Lora, Dale? Davidson, and Phyllis Tripplehorn. Page Fifteen :L iw 'W 57 Top R0wffCrawford, Huber. Foltz, Woods, Niswamler, Amlatutxt Kohler, Florip.

The newly elected president Donald Wenger was unable to respond due to vocal disturbances, but the vice-president, Christine Miller, was an excellent substitute. The Piper, Lester, hoarded the shekels deducted from the Freshies. Mr. Stettler served as class advisor. Since BluHton High School stands for developing leaders, a new cast was chosen in 1931 consisting: of Christine Miller, president, Maureen Bixler, vice-presi- dent, and Konstantin Epp, secretary-treasurer, advisor, Miss Kimmel. The monot- ony of the Sophomore year was broken by the blood curdling Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. Their fears were quieted, however, by muscular activity at Mr. Sc0tt's Playhouse.

Junior Class History The Freshies as Juniors began to feel more important and essential to the school's program. As we take a backward look we can say with pride that we have reasons for doing so. For hasn't the class contributed to the success of football, basketball, music, debating and other activities? In the depression of 193333 the forces were marshalled by the president, Emma lletweilerg vice-president, Konstantin Eppg secretary-treasurer, Lucille Niswanderg advisor, Miss Boss. The role of the host is the part played by the Juniors since they welcomed the Freshmen and bid farewell to the Seniors. They will return next fall determined to make their last year in Bluffton High a lasting' memory of achievement. l'r1g14' .qf'l'L'Hfl'f'll mm EC: Io Go.

The many activities afforded to every stu- dent helped to create such an agreeable atmosphere. Our interest was also increased by the keen rivalry various activities experienced against neighboring high schools. The new trophies added to our already vast collection are evidences of this year's success in arduous competition. In athletics Bluffton Pirates remained true to form by winning the Mid-West League Championship in football, and also by finishing the basketball season as run- ners-up in both the boys' and girls' tournament. The boys suEered defeat at the hands of Lafayette, while the girls were forced to relinquish the championship to Elida for the first time in eight years. Since the intra-mural basketball games had proven so successful the previous year, teams were again organized not only for the benefit of the boys this time, but also for the girls. The Sophomore lassies triumphed over the Juniors, while of the ten teams organized among the boys, St. Marys won the championship of the school by defeating Celina by a score of 15-9. Among the organizations already functioning as essential parts of our school life, three more were added at the beginning of the school year. These were the Press, Boy's Camp Cookery, and the Sewing clubs. The Press Club, under the guid- ance of Mr. Smucker and the leadership of its Editor-in-Chief Alma Hilty, succeed- ed in editing a paper of indisputable excellence. The G. R. and Hi-Y organizations helped to furnish that desirable spirit of fellowship and co-operation among the students. Of the plays presented by this year's Junior and Senior classes all we can say is that those who witnessed them pronounced them as the most entertaining perform- ances of recent years. The student body was also pleasantly entertained at various times by plays staged by the National Thespians, the dramatic society of the school. In inter-scholastic competition Bluffton ranked high in comparison with other schools, placing first in a number of activities. ' The debate teams, composed of practically all new members, made a creditable showing in spite of defeat suffered at the hands of Lima Central and Liberty Center. Perhaps the greatest achievements won for our Alma Mater this year were those obtained by the musical organizations. The quality of work performed by the Band and Orchestra has steadily increased in the last few years until this year proved them capable of easily capturing first honors in the instrumental contest held at Marion in which they competed against Class A schools. The Glee Clubs also upheld Bluffton's musical reputation by placing first in the Vocal Eisteddfod held March 31 when they won over Van Wert and Kenton. To regulate the responsible positions that these many organizations place in the hands too frequently of only a few students, the Student Senate, the governing body of the school, adopted a new point system based on the scholastic standing of each pupil. These many and diversified activities have afforded an excellent opportunity for each pupil to round out his school life to a fuller extent.

Page Twenty-four DILLER SCHUMACHER DAVIDSON HOLDEN ROMEY DEPPLER BALMER Annual S talf Due to the recession in business, there was some doubt as to Whether an Annual should be published or not. There were some students who wanted a newspaper while others were in favor of an Annual. It was finally decided that both an An- nual and newspaper be published, the Annual being made up of pictures with very little write-ups, the newspaper containing the write-ups of the events of the school year. We, the Annual Staff, have attempted to portray in this yearbook as many phases of our school life as space permitted.

L l w e + AT ICS clean and vigorous Coach Wampler Pirate athletics have accomplished much in the past two years in the raising of our school standards. This attainment of leadership we believe is due to the enthusiastic eHorts and fervor of our youthful coach, Fred Wampler. Coach Wampler, as an athlete of marked attain- ment himself, knows how to train others. The strong teams he has developed, since the advent of his two years with us, have proven themselves to be contend- ers with the best in Northwestern Ohio. A coach should be the idol of his boys and Coach Wampler is just that because he not only has a thorough knowl- edge of the game but is a zealous example of those higher requisites of an athlete-sportsmanship and a life. Mr. Wampler is those fine qualities f in the game of life operation and fair Miss Stuckey Whenever the cage work of the county is men- tioned, Bluffton girls are always considered the formidable foe. The accurate shooting and excel- lent floorwork of the lassies have won more tro- phies in county tournaments for the local high school than have been secured by any other girls' team in the Northwest Ohio district. Since each year brings new material, the success must natur- ally be attributed to the coach, Miss Stuckey, who has served in this capacity for the last six years. Her patience and hard work during practice de- veloped first class cagers from mediocre material during the past year and brought the locals within one point of the County Championship. Miss Stuckey's code for good basketball may he summarized thus: Patience, hard work, clean sportsmanship, and good team morale. known for instilling in his men which are necessary for success as well as athletics-courage, co- play. Faculty Manager Stettler Upon the shoulders of the faculty manager rests the responsibility of the numerous details necessary for the functioning of school athletics. He must arrange for games, transportation, tickets, officials and the hundred other odd jobs. His is a tremendous task and we have in our school a man thoroughly capable of handling the business mat- ters of athletic teams. Faculty manager Sidney C. Stettler has well fulfilled his task during the past year in trying to keep the ink on the ledger from turning from blue to red. It has been a difficult enterprise to conduct school athletics throughout a period of national depression and we feel that our manager has done his duty to the school. Stettler also serves in the capacity of tennis coach and under his guidance the institution has put out some fine tennis teams. Page Thirty L l I Top Row4Manager Kohli, M.

Another feather in the caps of the Pirates came with the second winning of the Mid-West Ohio league title in as many years. The Bucanneers have been in this league but two years and they have won the title both seasons. The Crimson tide also placed five members on the all-league team. As an award for the winning of the league the school will receive a large silver football trophy from the Lima News, who sponsored the league. Coach Wampler experienced difficulty in rounding out new material but after the first game the fellows started functioning well together and losses for the rc- mainder of the season were reduced to nil. The first foe of the season was Lima Central who outscored but did not out- play the inexperienced Pirates. Don Wenger played the most stellar game of his career. The following week the Pirates neatly reversed the score of the preceeding week as they vanquished an old foe, Columbus Grove. The next contest saw speedy little Ralph Diller run 60 yards for a touchdown in the last 58 seconds to win their first league scrap from Wapakoneta. Another league battle was witnessed as the Ada Bulldogs came, saw, and were conquered. The first night game in the history of the school came against Bucyrus who oH'ered little opposition. The third league battle pitted the Pirates against Kenton. It turned into just another victory for the Pirates. Van Wert offered the most thrilling game of the year but it was found later that they had used an ineligible player and so were forced to forfeit. The next week saw the Pirates whip the Shawnee Indians on a snow-covered field. Pandora, an old rival, fell before the onslaught of the Pirates.. In this, the last home game, Capt. Richard Ludwig and Dutch Lewis suffered serious injuries in the last minute of play, The final game of the season at St. Marys saw a reverse of the Diller to Diller combination as the Buccanneers cinched the league. Led by Capt. Richard Ludwig, center, the Pirate followers saw the smoothest gridiron machine to be put onto the field in the history of the school. Ludwig, in combination with Wenger, twice all-league end, Foltz and Kibele, made an almost impregnable forward wall while the two Dillers, .Ralph and Dwight, led the offensive drive.

Pirate Cagers During the past season the Pirates have met some of the strongest teams in the section, and the year may be well considered as one of the most successful in recent history. This year's percentage was excelled only by those of the two teams who competed in the state tournaments of '29 and '31. This year the Pirates captured fourteen out of their nineteen starts to finish the season with a .737 percentage. Two of the losses came through competition ii. tournament play, and the remaining three to league opposition. Difficulty was experienced by Coach Wampler at the first of the year in develop- ing a well-balanced quintet since he had but three returning lettermen and few ex- perienced squad members from the preceding year's cage team. When one stops to consider that seven of the first ten were boys whose only experience had come through competition in intramural contests last year, he realizes the tremendous work necessary for the development of first string cagers by Coach Wampler. The Pirates had not reached the peak of their perfection at the beginning of the season and thus were forced to take it on the chin from three league foes, Celina, Ada, and Van Wert. An example of this can be ascertained when one reflects that the Buccanneers lost to Celina at the beginning of the season only to come back in the sectional tournament to completely outplay and outscore the Celina five up to the last two minutes when the Celina crew hit the loop from all angles with unerring accuracy to nose out the locals 26-24. The Pirates were considered the cream of county competition after they had defeated the strong Gomer and Lafayette teams to upset the old dope bucket completely. The Pirate cagers were led by Capt. Dwight Diller at center, where his defensive ability and control of the tip-off was a big advantage to the team. At forwards were Dutch Lewis, who led the offensive drive as he amassed 209 points for the season, and lanky Paul Geiser whose height and general ability made him a valuable contribution to the team. At guards were Miller, Kibele, and Wenger, who developed into ball-hawks of the finest caliber and who finished out a team of rangy and husky cagemen.

Girls' Basketball Although forced with the formidable task of building a basketball team with only three lettermen returning, the girls' squad experienced what gcnerally may be termed a successful season during 1932-33. The team was built around the returning letter- men, Captain Helen Hartzler, Yolanda and Marjorie Hofer. Numeralmen returning were Phyllis Tripplehorn, forward, and Vedabelle Cahill, guard. The season opened with a practice game with Rawson, Blufton winning by a close margin. Other successful practice games played during the season were with Beaverdam and Mt. Cory. The official season opened with the Pandora Flying Dutch- men on Dec. 16 on our home floor with an overwhelming victory 42-16. The next night a big battle was put up with Gomer on their home floor which left the Pirate lassies on the short end of a 31-40 score. On Dec. 23 the strong North Baltimore team met Bluffton on our home floor which again left the Pirates on the lesser end 25-31. Fate seemed to be playing a big hand in the guidance of the team and again left Bluffton lacking a few points of winning over Columbus Grove on Jan. 6. The score was 21-29. The next week determination was the theme sung by the Pirate lassies and the result was a tie 34-34 with Lafayette, which proved to be a thriller as well as a moral victory for the home cagers. The next week the team met the alumnae which brought a 41-30 victory for the yearlings. On Jan. 28 Blufton met Wapakoneta on the home floor with a hard fought victory, the score being 24-21. The next week the tables turned when Blufton met Elida on their floor. Although the forwards were up to par, the Bulldog star forward, Marjorie Jones, was too much for the guard section and the game ended 29-39 with Elida on the long end of the score. Contrary to expectations that the Pirate lassies would be easily eliminated in the tournament, they went through with a clean but hard fought Hoor game to the finals. Their initial taste of tournament play was with'Shawnee, Bluffton winning by a score of 28-26. The following week the Red and White conquered Gomer, the game ending with a score of 25-18. This victory gained for Bluffton the right to play in the finals of the county tournament for the ninth consecutive year. Bluffton's opponent was the strong Elida team. In this game Captain Hartzler led her team mates in one of the best girls' tournament games ever witnessed on the Shawnee floor. The entire game was nip and tuck but ended with a score of 34-35 in favor of Elida. Page Thirty-.Eve Guards-James Miller, Kermit Kibele, Donald Wenger. Center-Dwight Diller, Captain.

Pirate Cagers During the past season the Pirates have met some of the strongest tcams in thi,- section, and the year may be well considered as one of the most successful in recent history. This year's percentage was excelled only by those of the two teams who competed in the state tournaments of '29 and '31. This year the Pirates captured fourteen out of their nineteen starts to finish the season with a .737 percentage. Two of the losses came through competition ii. tournament play, and the remaining three to league opposition. Difficulty was experienced by Coach Wampler at the first of the year in develop- ing a well-balanced quintet since he had but three returning lettermen and few ex- perienced squad members from the preceding year's cage team. When one stops to consider that seven of the first ten were boys whose only experience had come through competition in intramural contests last year, he realizes the tremendous work necessary for the development of first string cagers by Coach Wampler. The Pirates had not reached the peak of their perfection at the beginning of the season and thus were forced to take it on the chin from three league foes, Celina, Ada, and Van Wert. An example of this can be ascertained when one reflects that the Buccanneers lost to Celina at the beginning of the season only to come back in the sectional tournament to completely outplay and outscore the Celina five up to the last two minutes when the Celina crew hit the loop from all angles with unerring accuracy to nose out the locals 26-24.

Tennis 1933 Tennis prospects for the 192323 season are bright. Four letter men will form the nucleus about which a new team will be built. Epp and Ludwig, Nos. 1 and 2 respectively of last year's team, will lead the attack again this season. Alderfer and Steiner will probably be playing the No. 3 and No. 4 positions. Ludwig-Epp and Alderfer-Steiner are two veteran doubles combinations. New material will possibly replace veterans in some of the matches. Cahill, Kliewer, Schultz and West are apparently the class of the new material. It is hoped that other 'tdark horse candidates will be discovered. The team will attempt to uphold its tradition as a winner against Class A com- petition. Bowling Green, Wapakoneta, Lima Central, Findlay and Toledo Scott are traditional rivals who will more than likely appear on this season's schedule. Against this class of opposition the local squads have scored 18 wins and one tie in all time competition. Only six matches have been lost to these same teams during that period. A hopeful sign for future tennis teams is that only three of the squad of eight will be lost by graduation. Epp, Ludwig and Aldcrfcr will be playing their lust season for their Alma Mater. Track This year's track team will be confined to the centering of itself about two re- turning lettermen, Dwight Diller, a high jumper, and Holden, a half miler. Also added to the squad will probably be Kermit Kibele, another distance man, and Ralph Diller in the dashes and broad jump. It will be necessary for these men to coach and train themselves since the school has no track coach. They will probably enter competition in the Mid-West meet at Ada, the Northwestern District meet at Toledo, and the Ohio High School Relays at Ohio Wesleyan university. We feel that these fellows should be commended for their industry. Intramural Post-season basketball saw ten industrious teams vieing to capture the various titles in the league and tournament competition. After several weeks of fine play the play-off brought Celina, tournament champions, and St. Marys, league winners, into fray. The finals were Won by the St. Marys team coached by Mope Diller. Members of this team were Bert Swank, Jim Basinger, Connie Epp, Kennie Lugin- buhl, Barney Anderson and Chick Agin. Page Thirty-seven Baseball Due to the fact that the high school athletic association had a shortage of funds, baseball was put on a self-supporting basis this year. At the time of the vocal eisteddfod a jitney was sponsored by the group, and a neat sum was placed in the treasury to purchase equipment. Individuals are asked to contribute money for the remaining expenses. The first call for practice brought only six lettermen, Wilford Gratz, Captain: Louis Foltz, Donald Wenger, Bertrand Swank, James Miller and Richard Lewis. From the squad of twenty-five Coach Wampler intends to develop a nine superior to any ever representing the local school. The difficult schedule for the season requires the best possible material for play on the diamond. Games, as was the custom last year, will be played after school both here and away. The number of innings is limited to seven instead of the regulation nine. Different Class B schools of the county are included in the schedule. SCHEDULE April 14-Beaverdam.
