Junior Class History The Freshmen of 19230 were formally welcomed by the Juniors at the usual reception. 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. IWILHI' Sixfvffn

Senior QCtass History V In September, 1929, seventy-fouiflittle green Frosh made their appearance at the wide and stately portals of Bluffton High School. 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

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
