Such an edifice is Bluffton High school. This institution has served many students in their desire for learning, and each person has left some remnant of his personality to be imbedded in the memories of the school. Firmly placed in the foundation is the sincere wish to learn that en- courages each one of us with its strength. Each personality must have its basis, and as this basis, knowledge most surely is foremost in our school. Upon this foundation we find many tangents that make school life interesting. There are athletics, in which we excel. Where would a personality be without the sportsmanship and honest competition that m-ake each strive for something better? It is that, and the enjoyment of gathering in the school that make it ring with friendly rivalry, and this same friendliness is an important factor in our school's personality. Among the finer arts we find expression in music. Students with a love of music have made our school a famed musical center. Bluffton is synonymous with music, and its charm is found making the darkest corners of the building bright. In the various clubs and organizations we discover fellowship and coopemtion second to none. Put all these qualities together-knowledge, sportsmanship, friendliness, coopera- tion, charm, along with many, many more, add the sum, and the total will spell- The Personality of Bluffton High School. -Hafrriet Blame N, 1- 'lT-5' l GBX! 7 X' I A Q1 P fog U X!X 5g Wiiflf NIJ N .X if N W U35 I -fi li? ,rw S X52 LWJ D Personality of Bluffton.

Longsdorf, wife of our superin- tendent, who passed away early Sunday morning on March 16. Although everyone knew of the failing health of Mrs. Longsdorf very few realized the seriousness of the condition that led to her death. Despite her failing health she was known as a cheer- ful and kind person always with a ready Smile and cheerful disposition. Whenever she came to the high school she could always be seen talking with students and teachers alike showing a genuine interest and con- cern in their manifold problems. The unusually large number of Horal offerings and the hundreds of messages of condolence that poured in to Supt. Longsdorf amply attested to the high esteem in which Mrs. Longsdorf was held. We shall always remember her as a kind and gracious person-one con- cerning whom it was a privilege to know as a friend. A. J. B. LONGSDORF-SUPERINTENDENT Ph. B., Wooster A.

If we were a little troublesome I guess they will forgive us, for how were they to know we would turn out as we have. We were the third seventh grade class to enter the high school building and succeeded in finding a place for ourselves under the guidance of Harriet Blome, Pres., Gerald Augsburger, V. Pres., and Harold Augsburger, Sec'y-Treas. During the eighth grade we made much progress in music, athletics and schol- arship. Our officers for this year were Betty Steinman, Pres.5 John Stettler, Vice Pres.5 Dale Grismore, Sec'y-Treas. As freshman, we were branching out into various activities. Our leaders in preparing us for senior high school were as follows: Harlan Swank, Pres., Bette Murray, V. Pres., John Stettler, Sec'y-Treas. Sophisticated hardly described our class in the throes of sophmorism. With Marilynn Hofer as Pres., Lois Schaeublin as V. Pres., and Helen Soldner as Sec'y- Treas., we put plenty of pep in all our activities. In our busy junior year we planned and carried out a junior-senior leap year party, junior-senior banquet and prom and many other club functions. John Stettler Divas elected Pres., with Carolyn Stonehill as V. Pres., and Billie Bechtel as Sec'y- reas. We entered our senior year with Swankie doing an encore as Pres., Charlotte Santschi, V. Pres., Marjorie Buckland, Sec'y., and Maurice Fett, Treas., paved the way smooth for the rest of the class.

SOPHOMORE CLASS Even though the sophomore class is the smallest class in the high school, con- sisting of forty-six students, it is not small in comparison with other classes in its talents. Most every boy or girl in the sophomore class belongs to one of the many organizations. The boys belonging to F. F. A. or Hi-Y. The girls belong to G. R., F. H. A. or G. A. A. The girls in G. A. A. participate in the intramural sports. The students show talent in music. In instrumental as well as vocal music. Two from the sophomore class have leading roles in the high school operetta. Two of the managers of the basketball and football teams are sophomore boys. Two of the cheerleaders are also sophomores. D The outstanding party of the year was a party which was given at Christmas tune. The sophomore partys are supervised by our advisor, Miss Florence Duffield. lst row Donavin Moser, Adah Lehman.

After getting off to a flying start last year the eighth grade is continuing the good work in junior high school in an outstanding fashion. The class already has a reputation of ranking very high in scholastic ability. The class boasts many brilliant students and an eighth grade class room is always a very interesting and lively place. But let no one think that the efforts of the class are confined to class room work. The class already has showed signs of developing outstanding extra-cur- ricular leadership. There are many talented musicians in the class who contribute much to the musical organizations of the school. ln addition there are a number of promising athletes in the class who in several years should be wearing the red and white as regular members of varsity teams. Several of the class have played on the junior high school basketball team and have given very creditable performances. le-at row ffi0l'll0Y1 Bixel, Ruby Lehman, Eileen Halle-r, Priscilla Gunther.

After running through the halls for about a week in a rather dazed fashion, the embryonic seventh graders soon became adjusted to the routine of the high school. In a short time many of the rough edges were smoothed off and now at the end of the school year they are ready to go ahead to bigger things. A number of the girls are active in the camp fire organization and several of the boys are prominent in boy scout work. Several of the boys made the junior high school basketball team and if early performance should be an indication they should bolster up Bluf?ton High school athletics in the years to come. Several parties were enjoyed throughout the year and the class is always known to have a good time at school social events. The class is already known as a livelv group and the school can be assured that at least for some years to come the school will not be lacking in pep. lst row -Harry Burkholder Irene Marquart Ferol Althaus Do1's Jen B l t. h . , ', u 1 n mer sc er.

Have you ever thought of our school as a democracy within a democracy? This is especially exemplified by the Student Senate. The students choose the leaders of their classes and organizations, these leaders then represent the students in the Student Senate when any problems or ideas can be discussed. This year the Senate decided to print a little handbook to be given to the students at the end of the year. Included in the book will be the class schedules, subjects taught and a description of extra-curricular activities. This handbook will serve as a souvenir to the seniors and will also be an aid to undergraduates. The home-room programs were also planned in the Student Senate. Programs were made out for each class, with the aid of advisors and students, which would be interesting to that particular grade. The Senate is run by parliamentary procedure and provides excellent training for its members. lt still remains one of the most important functions of the school system. , President ........,.......,.... ..

Buhler uccaneer is Student lanne an ro uce After a late beginning this year, the staff was finally chosen and the Editor-in- Chief, Charlotte Santschi, really started us working. Getting a theme, taking pi:-tures, getting the advertisements and everything else, kept everybody busy. The assistant editors, Marjorie Buckland and Helen Soldner obeyed the orders for elsej and did a fine job of helping her. Maurice Fett was the business manager and did a very nice job of keeping the hooks balanced and getting advertisements for the book. His helpers were Harlan Swank and George Myers. The snaps in this book were taken by Harold and Ray. Getting them pasted together was Wanda Diller's job. The division pages were made by Ruth Core and the jokes were furnished by Billie Bechtel. The advisors were Mr. Orden Smucker and Mr. A. L. Daymon. Credit is given where credit is due , so the staff receives credit on the Growing Personalities of the 1941 Buccaneer.

DEVELOP WHOLESOME PERSONALITIES The Girl Reserves are a part of the National Young Women's Christian As- sociation whose purpose is as follows: To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed as Christians. The regular meetings are held every two weeks in the club room. The year began with a backwards party to welcome new members into our club. This was followed by the Recognition Service which was in the form of a play A Garden of Friendship . Other regular meetings were devoted to music, personality, tips to the ideal high school girl, and various other subjects of interest to Girl Reserves. Other events of the year were a skating party for the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y held at Delphos, a taify pull, a father-daughter potluck, a church service, and a mother-daughter banquet. The Girl Reserves and Hi-Y presented the Thanks- giving assembly program and they also collected apples, potatoes and pennies for the hospital. At Christmas the two organizations sang carols and took baskets to the shut-ins. We have had a very successful year under the leadership of the following officers: President .... ,.......... . ....

This year's club, though not as large as some formerly, has been very active during the year. In cooperation with the G. R. they collected potatoes, apples, and pennies for the Illulfton Hospital. They also sponsored a moving picture at the local theater to raise money for their yearly project. This project was to buy new curtains for the auditorium stage and was greatly appreciated by the whole school. For their programs during the year the club saw moving pictures on the navy, heard several interesting speakers and had three potluck suppers. Last summer John Stettler and Harlan Swank attended Camp Nelson-Dodd. There they learned the principles of leadership and acquired much material for the programs of the local Hi-Y meetings. The Bluffton club is now helping to buy a refrigerator for use in camp. Early in the winter John Stettler, Dale Grismore and Bill Amstutz, accom- panied by Mr. Buhler, attended the yearly Hi-Y Congress which was held at Dayton. This was a meeting to which Hi-Y clubs from all over the state sent representa- tives. The meeting was conducted on much the same order as the National Congress and was very beneficial to all who attended.

FHA Striving for the goal as set up in the State Award of Merit, the F.H.A. has had a most profitable year. The program for the year included various activities. Most of the social affairs were held jointly with the F.F.A. Some of these were: a Hickory nut hunt fol- lowed by a wiener roast at Rayl's quarry, a Christmas party and gift exchange at the home of Veldean Moser, a banquet carrying out the Spanish theme, and a skat- ing party at Findlay with the surrounding clubs. In addition to these joint activities, the girls enjoyed some interesting meetings. A movie and talk were given on Cuba and Florida by Miss Eddyth Cupp, advisor. In the early part of April the officers of next year's club attended the State Home lflconomics Convention held at Columbus. A style show, playlets, and many other events made up the many programs which were enjoyed during the year. Service projects for the year included: Dishes for the Home Economics De- partment and Red Cross. One week of camping will be the reward of each of the members who have been working hard this year.

Dorothy Burkholder Deve OPS llffl C21ClCI'5l1iP That students learn best by doing is illustrated in a very definite way by the activities of the Bluffton chapter of the Future Farmers of America. The many projects undertaken by the club give the members much valuable experience not only in agricultural information but in cooperative activity. The high standards and idealism of the organization is further manifested in the :lub motto: Learning to dog Doing to learng Earning to liveg Living to serve. The stated objectives of the organization are: 1. To develop rural and agricultural leadership. 2. To strengthen the confidence of farm boys in their work. 3. To develop character. 4. To participate in cooperative effort. 5. To encourage and practice thrift. 6. To encourage improvement in scholarship. The local chapter has placed high in judging contests, corn husking and parliamentary procedures contests. In order to become a member every boy must have at least one agricultural project. This live organization has served the school and community in a most beneficial manner and continues to demonstrate that cooperative activity on a high level can be experienced by a group of high school boys as well as on the adult level.

PERFORMS WITH PRECISION It is a well established tradition that the Bluffton High School Orchestra always gives evidence of superior musical accomplishment. Our splendid director, l'rof. Sidney llauenstein, prepares many years ahead working with individual players in order to give proper musical background for later maturity. Qnly by the use of these methods can proper symphonic balance be obtained. llluffton always has been noted for well balanced orchestras having even the more unusual orchestrial units. Bluffton, therefore, always is able to compete above its normal classification. Normally the school would compete in Class C competition but chooses to meet orchestras from much bigger high schools in Class B competition. Even in this stiil'cr competition lllutlton has always performed in a most creditable manner. Many timcs first place has been won in the various contests in which we compete. Aside from all of these points mentioned should be made of the personal benc- Hts :nic receives from playing in unison with the rest of the orchestra. All in all it is a very bcncncial activity to both the individual and the community. President . . Dorothy Greding Secretary-'I'reasurcr Gerald Augsburger lhirector Mr. Hauenstein an rovicles Spirit ancl as 1 or ames PURVEYORS OF PEPPY TUNES Bluffton High School boasts of a band that is marked not only by zip and dash but also by excellent musicianship. The band is trained to play peppv marches and to march with military precision. Their marching formations at the football games have been an occasion for much favorable comment. Not only have they performed at football games but also at school pep meet- arlous entertainments in the community. Thus this ings, political rallies and v I organization has very capably served both the school and -the community. It has often been said that if vou teach a b t bl h .. l .e , oy o ow a orn he will never blow a safe. While this is just a saying, it nevertheless is true that playing in a band provides a very healthy outlet for youthful energies. Band players invariably report the thrilling experience of playing rhythmic melodies in the captivating harmonic arrangements available for bands. It is an experience long to be enjoyed. President ..

A cruel hard-fisted mountaineer wanted to keep him in bondage but Chad ran away. He finally landed with the Turners, a southern family, but became lost one day in logging operations. On the road he was picked up by a Kentucky major who took him into his home. He fell in love with the daughter of a next door neighbor who would not have him because of his common ways. The society people of the town literally froze him out and he went back to the Kentucky mountains. Finding out he was really a member of a better family he returned to the city and won the hand of Margaret, his former neighbor. Pportunl lven For Dramatic alent bm.

OUR country and its institutions are fundamentally sound. Those who assert the peak of American opportunity has passed are not taking into consideration that individual initiative is the driving force which accounts for all human progress. WITH the passage of every day, research workers give us new jobs that never existed before. Between 1900 and 1930 the number of jobs in the United States increased at the rate of 68 per cent while the country's population was increasing 62 per cent. Far from having reached its peak, American industry will continue to expand and develop. ALWAYS remember The American Way is best. Always do what you can to help preserve and promote it. There still is plenty of op- portunity for those who have initiative, patience and perseverance. Live with the thought to leave the world better than you found it.
