Code In accord with Presid ent Roosevelt’s recovery program we set up a candy stand which is not only bringing in a small amount of capital to lay aside for a rainy day but also is giving employment to many of our class. As Freshies we chose for our executive force, James Basinger, President; Robert West, Vice-president; Lois Basinger, Secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Daymon as Advisor to help us over our difficulties. As Sophomores we feel slightly more dignified and important. To help us along in 1934 we gave the men something to do and chose, Karl Schultz, President; Del¬ bert Luginbuhl, Vice-president; Gerald Tripplehorn, Secretary-treasurer, and Mr. White, Advisor. No Longer the Only Greenhorns When we sixty freshmen started to school on Sept. 18, 1933, we had a harder time to find our way about than freshmen of other years because of the new building. However, after we had begun to feel at home we elected Wava Worthington president of the class and James Griffith as her assistant. Evan Amstutz was elected secretary-treasurer. Miss Slusser was chosen to guide us. Reading left to right— Back row—Zuercher, Steiner, Murray, Long, Henry, Habeggar, Luginbuhl. Kindle, Moore. Fifth row—Heckathorn, Peterson, Ewing, E.

The Junior Class Their Calendar OCTOBER 21—Wade L. reserves ways for two people to go to the Shawnee game. Wonder why? 28—Big Carnival—Juniors had three booths— (1) Madame X, fortune teller. Who was it? We wonder. (2) Men only! Was it popular? Ask Dick B. (3) Fish pond. Most of us caught “suckers”. NOVEMBER 5— Osculation in the library fails as librarian appears. And did the big football hero ever blush! 8— Night school—isn’t it fun? 9— Alas and alack! The proofs arrived. These couldn’t possibly be we. DECEMBER 1— Troy debate. Truthful (?) David Donald K. asks the Prof, if he can “lie jus: a little bit in the rebuttals.” 4—Jim M. informs the debate class that the reason he was late was because he had done his mother’s washing! ? 6— Red Birchnaugh turns poet. But he didn’t know it. 16— It’s funny somebody didn’t rob Fern H. when the ring rush was on.

FEBRUARY 14—A little Frosh saves the day for the junior class by paying certain juniors’ dues. 17— Detentions suddenly very popular.

On that same fair day the portals of Bluffton-Richland opened to admit 69 members of the illustrious class of ’38. At our first class meeting we chose Roberta Biery, President; Bertram Smucker, Vice-president; Neil Baumgartner, Secretary; Nelson Hauenstein, Treasurer, and Mr. Geiger, Advisor. Early in January we held our first class party which was a great success. The class faithfully supported and contributed to the chapel programs, music and other school activities.
