Each day they became a little more familiar with their sur- roundings. Now at the end of this first year, the seventh graders have had many new experiences which make them prepared to advance ahead one year. There are a number of girls who belong to Blue Triangle. Thirteen are active Camp Fire Girls. The boys have members on the Junior High basketball team and have helped win those inter- esting and exciting games. Three boys belong to the National Boy Scout organization. At noons the girls played basketball with the eighth grade girls. They show great possibilities of being good players in a few years. Two parties were enjoyed. The committee planning the entertainments were: Jean Ann Stein- man, Doris Barber, and Robert Gratz. Miss Leiter was the adviser. N OFFICERS Pres., Genevieve Buhler V.

In spite of this heavy scholastic schedule we have progressed in extra curricular activities such as music, art, and athletics. The band and orchestra would not be complete without us. We even have a string quartet. Those wonderful scenes on the cafeteria win- dows are painted by the artistic ability of three of our group: Florence Ann Blome, Imogene Bron- son, and Jo Ann Buckland. When that extra point was needed it was often the fast playing of one of our fellows on the Junior High basketball team who shot the ball through the rim. The girls are also getting expert at shooting baskets. Just because they miss a few doesn't stop them. By the use of all our abilities we hope to be- come one of the foremost classes in Bluffton High School. ACTIVITIES Blue Triangle Jr. High Basketball Band Orchestra l Fourth rowfA. Santschi, R.

When We were little tots we learned to read and write and get along with others because of the faithful, considerate teachers who taught us. The future classes of Bluffton High School will de- pend upon these teachers Who put forth their knowledge for further extension of education. Mrs Cox, who is now the principal of the grade school, taught practically all of us when We were in the first grade. She still resumes that distinc- tion of teaching first graders. Of the group only three others had to have any connection with us: Mrs. Oyer, sixth gradeg Miss Stepleton, third gradeg and Miss Hilty, fourth grade. Here We wish to extend our appreciation to the members of this faculty who have so heartily lived their responsibilities by teach- ing others.
