W. A. HOWE Advisor 44'.,T?-h4wff'- LOTS OF TALENT DISCOVERED AMONG SECOND YEAR BOYS WE Sophomore lads furnished loads of talent, especially in the athletic field. A consider- able number of our group were on the gridiron. Fisher, Santschi, and Martin helped pull the Bluffton Pirates out of many tight spots at some of those breath-taking games. Fisher's ability in basketball has helped the basketeers to outstanding success this year. A large number of the F. F. A. members are found among our ranks, and a few future farmers will no doubt come from our class. Constructing airplanes and performing experi- ments in science are the chief hobbies of a lot of our boys. There. are also some amateur photographers in the group. Future scientists, aviators, and photographers may be getting their start in a profession in Bluffton High School. Also, our boys are representative in the scho- lastic field. In our crowd is John Stettler, who has been a member of the Junior National Honor Society for over two years. He was among the first in our class to be elected to the society and has served as its vice-president for the past year. So you can see from this review of class talent that we are worthy of the positions we hold in school. Standing: Clyde Fisher, Eugene Newlan, Robert Watkins, Harold Santschi.

GIGGLING SOPHOMORE GIRLS CAUSE HOWE LOTS OF WORRY There are others of us in the band and orches- PRACTICALLY all of us are in at least one tra, too. or more activities which proves that we help enlarge the enrollment of over half a dozen clubs. We girls are highly recognized for our athletic ability, having taken second place in the G. A. A. basketball tournament. Our class has some very talented artists. A few of our girls are taking Advanced Art II and have shown some wonderful artistic ability. Those extraordinary scenes painted on the cafe- teria windows at different times throughout the year were usually done by the brushes of these girls, of course there were girls from other classes who helped them. Some fine musicians are also to be found in our class-for instance, the first-chair cellist. Quite a number in our class seem to be lean- ing toward the future homemaker's career by the appearance of the F. H. A. enrollment book, which seems to have the names of a lot of sophomore girls in it. In our midst you may find a peppy cheer- leader who really puts swing into those yells. Do not forget that the president and secre- tary treasurer of the Junior National Honor Society are to be found among us. So perhaps our contributions to these clubs as we have reviewed them for you, will repay our adviser for his worry over us-that is, of course, if we have caused him any.

IGHT FRIVOLOUS FRE HIE FRI K OME think that We are just green Freshies, but our class is very outstanding in so many Ways that We really have made a name for ourselves even at this early stage in our high school journey. We not only are more advanced than the ordinary class of Freshmen in high school when it comes to taking part in activities, but We also make a remarkable contribution in what- ever we do. In the first place, we, the largest class to have entered the doors of Bluffton High School thus far, have almost eighty members in our group. Then, too, We are very much interested in athletics, especially the boys, being already noted for our future basketball team which should help win several more trophies for Standing: Fred Bronson, John Herrmann, Gerald Bowers.
