B. H. S. FACULTY COMPRISED OF TWENTY-TWO CAPABLE TEACHERS BRING OUT FUNDAMENTALS IN WIDE VARIETY OF COURSES THE curriculum which Bluffton High School offers to its students is far above the aver- age inasmuch as it takes in a greater variety of subjects and vocational studies than any other village high school of its size in Ohio. It has always been the policy of the administration to teach any high school subject providing a cer- tain number of students sign up for the course. The modern equipment used in teaching some of the more special subjects makes them more interesting for the students and also helps put the school in good standing. For example, Bluffton High School maintains a splendid Home Economics department and cafeteria, gymnasium with two large shower rooms, public library, chemistry laboratory, art room, typing room, manual training and .farm shop, public address system, and a motion pic- ture machine which has provided both enter- tainment and education in the classrooms and in assembly programs. Bluffton can be proud of the facilities avail- able in the high school and because of these the graduating students are Well equipped to be good citizens.

ELEMENTARY TEACHERS INSTRUCT CHILDREN WISELYQ TEACH FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS Back row: Levada Balmer-third grade Floy McBain--second grade Robert Ewing-fifth and sixth grade Mrs. Adella Oyer-fifth grade Sevila Bixel-third and fourth grades Front row: Theola Steiner-sixth grade Meredith Stepleton-Hrst and second grades Supt. A. J. B. Longsdorf- Mrs. Grace Cox-first grade fprincipalj Minerva Hilty-fourth grade AS the senior class started to think of gradua- tion, our minds wandered back over the past twelve years of school and we began to recol- lect some of those experiences we had way back there in grade school where we first learn- ed to know each other. The personnel of the grade school faculty has changed considerably in the last six years leaving only three of the same ones who taught us the three R's . These teachers were Mrs. Cox Whom we had in the first grade, Miss Stepleton in the third, and Mrs. Oyer in the sixth. Miss Slusser whom we had in the fourth grade later transferred to the high school faculty where she taught us again in the seventh and eighth grades. She also helped plan our Junior-Senior Banquet in '38. We, who were fortunate enough to have been able to start to school in Bluffton and complete all twelve years in the local schools, wish to express our appreciation not only to these teachers just mentioned but also to all the other grade school teachers whom we had at some time during the first six years, for the fundamental training they gave us.
