THEY LEAD US ON THE BCARD OF EDUCATION Standing: Mr. Ralph Badertscher, Mr. Waldo Hofstetter, Mr. Elmer Short. Sitting: Mr. Waldo Niswander, Mr. John Tosh, Mr. Leland Diller. Board Of Education Our school board is the legislative group, chosen from among the citizens of our com- munity, which willingly gives its services for the best interest of our school. It determines policies which it believes will give our students the best educational advantages for its own future aid for intelligent citizenship in our democracy. Doubtless some of us fully realize how many and how great are the problems which our board must meet, With the swift change of times, new problems arise. Especially do we think now to the ,qrcat crisis our country is in and how it will effect our educational system. Not least among the duties of our board is the wise expenditure of the tax dollar which supports our schools, We feel that we have a school which we can justly feel proud and as students we are thank- ful for the well kept and maintained buildings and grounds making our surroundings as pleas- ant as possible. For all of these advantages and for all of the instructors the board has chosen to work with us, we the student body, wish to express to our school hoard our thanks and sincere appreciation. A. J. B. Longsdorf As superintendent of Bluffton Public Schools, he has served to the utmost of his ability. For seventeen years he has continuously offered to the young America of Bluffton the advantages of a school which serves its youth, and where We enter to learn, then go forth to serve our community in return. Gerhard Buhler Starting out in 1924 Mr. Buhler has served our school faithfully for eighteen years. Besides being principal he teaches freshman science and physics and serves in an advisory capacity to the Hi-Y and Student Senate. Many innovations have been brought to Bluffton during his ad- ministration. THEIR AIM--- BETTER CITIZENS Bluffton High School teachers, leaders of Free Americans in a Free Public School, have served to the utmost of their abilities. The curriculum which our school offers is wholly fulfilled by our capable faculty. There are seventeen teachers and they are just as informal as they seem in these pictures. Besides bringing out fundamentals in the wide variety of subjects and vocational studies offered to the students, our teachers have other interests, activities, and oH'ices which help them understand American youth and our community better. We are sure you will recognize them at once. Among them are: serving as cur town's mayor, town clerk, tracing family trees, copy writer for our weekly paper, acting as a field secretary to Bluffton College, being our school treasurer, and advisors to our school clubs and organizations. Bluffton can well be proud of our faculty which helps its youth over the stumbling blocks of six years of its educational career and plays a great part in preparing students to be good American citizens in future living.

TCGETHER WE LAUNCH WHERE SHALL WE ANCHOR We were one of the largest crews ever to board the good ship B. H. S. Our seventh captain at the helm, after embarking on the sea of education, was Marcene Stonehill. Although our surroundings seemed strange at first, we soon got our sea legs and began to prove our worth as good sailors. The first lap of our twelve year voyage was over in no time. The second lap found us with Captain Eloise Sommerg Roger Howe, assistant, and Russell Gratz first mate. Already we had begun to speed up and display talent in music, athletics, and scholarship. But, alas, as we put out to sea on our third lap, our course wasn't as smooth as before, and most of us fresh young things became seasick in ia greenish sort of way We soon recovered, though, and branched out in more fields and in- terests. Our commander at that time was Margery Niswander with David Tosh and Mary Stearns as her officers. Starting out on the fourth lap made us more alert and peppy than ever. Our able leaders were now, Norman Beidler, Carol Bame and Wayne Daily. Many of our crew members were already prominent in athletics, and seven of us were in Junior National Honor Society proving our rank in scholarship. We returned more enthusiastic on the fifth lap seeking both knowledge and good times. This time there was an admiral at our ship's helm. None other than Bob Cooney Ca fugitive from Pinafore J. Serving under him were Neil Neuenschwand- er and Roger Howe. Feature event of the year were Pinafore , the junior play 'The Good Egg , and the Junior-Senior banquet. Two crew members proved out- standing in musical talent, In the fall of '41 we made ready to board the B. H. S. for the sixth and last lap. With renewed vim and vigor we tried to do our utmost in the few months of our voyage. James Reichenbach was chosen as the last captain, Ruth Hankish, assistant, Harriet Burkholder and Ned Schultz as ship officers. The Pirates of Penzance , a class get-together, senior comedy What A Life , and the Junior-Senior prom were just a few of the year's social functions. Our final destination aboard the B. H. S. having been reached we are proud of coming through with flying colors even after weathering many a gale. We truly enjoyed the voyage with its educational values, social values, its laughs and sorrows. So to those who still have to complete their journey aboard the B. H. S. Bon Voyage! CLASS OF 1943 As our journey through Bluffton High School is drawing to an end, leaving just one more year in which to complete our high school learning, we now realize the long adventure we are about to face. Entering high school as seventh graders, we were the smallest class ever to pass through the portals of our school. However, being so few, hasn't held us back. We have participated in all of the extra-curricular activities that Bluffton High has had to offer. Two of the able managers of the football and basketball teams are part of our class. The lassies who lead our cheering section at the games are also two of our classmates. The musical activities take no side show, the leads in the operetta, Pirates of Penzance , being taken by two of our juniors. We took our first big step under the leadership of Raymond Schumacher. From the first, our gallant class has become 'a main feature in the spotlight of Bluffton High. Our second step as eighth graders made us even more sure of succeeding. As our class president, we chose Darlene Truex. Ever since the eighth grade we have had the reputation of trying anything once-and succeeding. No task was too large for us. Entering the freshman class was the third important step in our career. How- ever, we found ourselves to be a bit gr-een . This greenness soon wore off and Herbert Conrad led our class to a bright future. The fourth leap brought us up to be sophomores. By this time our cooperation in activities was in full bloom and James Stonehill assumed the dynasty. Stepping into the role of juniors, we elected James Gratz as our capable leader. Having sponsored a Junior-Senior Prom as the last main event of the year, our class looks forward to our last year at Bluffton High School. 1943 Ralph Althaus Grace Core John Dunbar Floyd Herr Dorothy Anderson Calvin Dudgeon Doris Dunifon Treva Hochstettler Sylvan Burkholder Mildred Campbell James Gratz Edgar Huber Alice Augsburger Herbert Devier Harriet Fett Florence Ann Hofel Herbert Conrad LaVerne Burkholder Ellis Hauenstein Albert Ingalls Ellen Basinger Weldon Deppler Aline Hilty Richard Klay Richard Oberly John Schmidt Ada Lehman James Stonehill A.ice Oyer t Denard Loga Robert Darlene Truex Dorothy Jennings nbill Oberly Raymond Schumacher Kenneth Winkler Mary Ellen Luginbuhl Wilma Steiner Roberta Wenger Mary Jane Worlhinglon Donivan Moser Robert Pannabccker Clyde Sommer Robert Young ll leen Moser Barbara Triplett Wyvonne Wilcox SCPHCMORES We sophomores of Bluffton High School par- ticipate in many activities. There are a number of us in the Junior Honor Society. Some of the girls are active members of G. R., helping on different committees and taking part in pro- grams. Others are learning the art of home- making in H. E. R. The boys are in various clubs such as Hi-Y and F, F. A. We show great possibilities in music.

The A Capella is composed of a large number of us. Some are in quartetts, solos, and ensembles, both in singing and playing. This year a number of boys engaged in foot- ball and basketball. The girls placed second in the ladder tournament in volley ball, and are active members of G. A. A. From this, it is evident that the sophomore class will prove to be a great asset to Bluffton High School. FRESHMEN Ever since that memorable day when the freshmen, then seventh graders, rushed eagerly into the high school, they have proved their ability in athletics and scholarship. As further evidence of this we have five members in the National Junior Honor Society, and two members on the Cutlass staff. Those of us who are ath- letically inclined are members of the basketball team, reserve and varsity, football, and G. A. A. Others enjoy the activities of A Capella, band, Fourth row: Roma Welty, Janice Wingate, Mary Lou Shafer, Otto Klassen, Morris Moser, Francis Kohli, Dorothy Dunbar, Lois Burk- holder.

R. In addition to this we are also proud of the Freshmen Boy Scouts. Everyone enjoyed the thrills and spills of our skating party which was the one and only social event of the year. As far as pep and school spirit are concerned anyone who has ever visited the freshmen home room knows they are not lacking in this. EIGHTH GRADE The eighth grade of Bluffton High is com- posed of forty-five members. We have done a great many things and have had much fun this year. We had a party in February, and did we have fun! Elmer Tuggle', Stonehill, our presfdent, was master of ceremonies. Louise Soldner con- ducted a Truth and Consequences game after which we had a scavenger hunt. Then we had another game in the way of a dance led by Mr. Amstutz, and then the best part of all, refresh- ments. Yum! Yum! Were they good! So you can see We have done all right as far as fun is concerned. The eighth grade put on a noon movie to get money to pay for our social science work books. The titles of the comedies were The King's Tailor ' and a Charley Chaplan comedy New Profession . We made a profit of 56.25. Some of the girls made posters and some of the boys watched the doors. The rest of us sold tickets. So you can see we Work too. Afterwards we de- cided to spend the profits on a picnic this spring. Ray Follas plays the trumpet so well that he is in the senior orchestra, and Elmer Stonehill is one of our active cheer leaders. Summing up our eighth year of school we feel more than pleased with our accomplishments and we hope to keep up the good work in years to come.

SEVENTH GRADE If the seventh graders enjoy coming into our high school to be a part of it, as much as we upper classmen enjoy having them, they cer- tainly should feel welcome from the begin- ning. We don't look upon them as little ruffians turned loose in our big building, but instead, we recall the time when we were in their shoes and how forgotten and outcast we felt for a few weeks. Thinking of this, we consider and try to treat each of them as part of our student body, just the same as everyone else.

However, they display talent now, too. They do many big things for as small as they seem. This year's seventh grade is one of the peppiest classes ever to enter Bluffton High. The Blue Triangle Club is made triangular by many of the young girls. We also see some of the lilttle lads wearing Boy Scout uniforms. Just wait until these future Pirates take the basketball honors in years to come. We have many high ideals set up for you seventh graders. We are sure you won't let our school down by shattering our ideals. They will go places-watch them.

We have attempted to please each student, each organization, each class, each member of the faculty, and most of all we have tried to edit a book for which we, the editorial Staff, can feel is representative of our school. We have strived for informality throughout our book and we hope as you look 'at it you will have the feeling that you are all equally a part of it as well as a part of Bluffton High School. Many do not realize the work, head- aches and disappointments in organizing material for the Buccaneer. Let us think what would happen if there would be no year book. There would be nothing to remind us of our high school days, of our past experiences with fellow students, and of the spirit of friend- liness existing between the students and teachers. It seems as if everyone would want a Buccaneer to keep fond mem- l ories alive. May we never see the time when there is no Buccaneer. 1 S book you have! 4 ,' -.

The aim of the paper is to provide accurate and unbiased presentation of news as it occcurs in student circles. This is done according to correct jour- nalistic procedure. In addition to presentation of the news, op- portunity is given for the expression of student opinions on the editorial page and in the col- umns devoted to that purpose. The organiza- tional work of the high school is promoted and encouraged by a number of columns based on the specific activities. The Cutlass is a newspaper in miniature giv- ing the students practice in the phases of jour- nalism. Not only must the editors know how to write stories, they must learn newspaper make- up, proof-reading and Writing heads. The staff has been handicapped this year by a greatly restricted budget which has created the neces- sity of reducing the number of copies of pub- lication. The overall aim of the Cutlass staff has al- ways been to promote harmony among the varied interests in the school and to establish better understanding between the teachers and students and to assist in making this a school that Bluffton can be proud of.

In these times it is necessary more than ever to show the true spirit of Democracy. This is done in the Student Senate. The members of the Senate are chosen from the upper classes and represent the different organizations and clubs of the school. The Senate elects those who are on the chapel committee whose duty is to arrange assembly programs throughout the year. The Senate also regulates the selling of candy at games so that there is no argument as to who has the right of selling. Other problems relating to the stu- dent body are frequently solved by the Senate. This year a handbook was published by the Senate under the direction of Betty Holtkrnnp with the assistance of Robert Cooney. In the book are class schedules, subjects taught, a de- scription of the clubs and organizations, and athletics. This book was published and handed out to the students at the beginning of the year. It will serve not only as a help to the students but wi.l also be a souvenir for them. The Senate is run by parliamentary procedure and provides excellent training for its members. It is and always will be one of the most import- ant organizations in the school system. STUDENT PATROL Organized since 1935, the BluH'ton High School Patrol, composed of six Life Scouts of Troop 56, is still functioning in line with the Governor's Safety Service Commission. The purpose of the patrol is to promote safety, dis- cipline, and enforce traffic laws within and about the school. In connection with this, the patrol is spon- sored by the State Highway Department. Dur- ing the first month of school, we had as our guest in assembly, Mr. Bishop, one of our big, brawny, State Policemen. He gave a safety talk to the student body, after which he pre- sented a badge to each student on the pa- trol. The student body has willingly cooperated with the patrolmen. This organization is a great asset to Bluffton High School, for all halls are orderly and have good conduct at all times. Second row: Robert Oberly, John Schmidt, Richard Oberly.

It was established with the intention of stimulating scholarship in al secondary schools in the United States. The Society has four main Objectives: To create an enthusiasm of scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character. The selection of members is limited to not more than 15 per cent of the senior class or more than five per cent of the Junior class a year. The selections are made by a committee consisting of the principal and not less than four members of the faculty. Selections are based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Candidates eligible for election, to this chaper, must stand in the first fourth of their respective classes in scholarship. The chapter in Bluffton no whas a total of twenty-one members. Present officers of the Society are: President, Neil Neuenschwanderg vice-president, Carol Bameg secretary and treasurer, Norman Beidler, and the advisor, Mr. Buhler. HONCR SOCIETIES The Junior National Honor Society is made up of students from the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. According to the constitution of the society, only a certain per cent of the class may be selected and each member must meet the eligibility based upon service, character, leadership, and scholarship. Today there are over twenty-five hundred chapters and these are found in the best high schools in the country. The junior chapter in Bluifton High School was first organized in 1935. The aims of this group are the same as those of our senior sister organization. However, since we are younger, we carry out these aims among students of our own ago The projects we carry on throughout the year are somewhat different from the senior club, too. This year, the Junior Honor Society has sponsored the Junior Red Cross. Second row: Marccne Stonehill, Mary Stearns, Dorothy Anderson, Raymond Schumacher, Marggery Niswandcr.

We, as members, of the Girl Reserves club. unite in the desire to realize full creative life through a growing knowledge of God. We de- termine to have a part in making this life pos- sible for all people. The Girl Reserves are char- acterized by an inclusiveness which seeks to draw into the fellowship, groups of widely dif- ferent background and expression. Besides be- ing inclusive in membership, we have a program based on needs, flexibility, and growth, Empha- sis is placed upon service to the community, group and individual counseling, emergency and benevolent needs, group discussions, and club projects. For instance: Red Cross contributions, raising money to finance cabinet members fees at Camp Pittenger, Christmas caroling and con- tribution. Gifts are presented in this manner, such as making and presenting curtains to the High School Auditorium, and presenting a P. T. A. program. Outside of projects the G-R has co-sponsored two high school parties with the aim of including every senior high school student, a Mother-Daughter banquet and also a Dad-Daughter dinner. Each year we have a program exchange with the Y. W. C. A. of Bluffton college and the G-R club of Pandora High School. We are very fortunate in having the aduli assistance of the Woman's Council with whom we discuss important club problems. The council is composed of a representative group of G-R mothers from whom their president, Mrs. Duni- fon, who chose a delegation to accompany us to Kenton for our district meeting in Octo- ber. Our club has offered many outstanding pro- grams of interest this year with religious, vo- cational and social themes. HI-Y Having the largest membership for many years, about forty-five members, and meeting once every week the Hi-Y club had a very suc- cessful year. Besides offering an opportunity for boys to get together, the Hi-Y club pro- grams gave much information on Various Sub- jects and spiritual and social guidance. During this school year thirty-live dollars was contributed to the Red Cross. This money rep- resented fifty per cent of the money made on various projects carried on by the club. Some of these projects were: holding a bake sale, sponsoring a movie at the local theater, and the selling of magazine subscriptions. Furnishing opportunities for learning leader- ship the Hi-Y presented an evening program for the P. T. A. and entertained the Girl Reserves. An innovation to the club this year was the forming of a Hi-Y Boys Glee Club which sang at both of these meetings. Several potluck sup- pers and parties were enjoyed within the club and furnished good times for all the boys. Last summer Norman Beid.er, Roger Howe, Robert Cooney, and James Fett attended Camp Nelson-Dodd, the state Hi-Y camp. Besides en- joying a fine vacation these boys learned the principles of leadershipand acquired much infor- mation and material for the local Hi-Y meet- ings. The club sent ten dollars to Camp Nelson- Dodd this year for the Camp Improvement Fund. Early in the winter James Fett, Ned Schultz, and Neil Neuenschwander, accompanied by Mr. Buhler, attended the yearly Hi-Y Congress which was held at Springfield.

TG 1 BLUE TRIANGLE Blue Triangle, the club for all Junior High girls was started this year. It is the junior organization of the G. R. and Y. W, C. A. The main purposes of this club are to estab- lish greater friendship, responsibility and co- operation among the girls. A meeting is usually held twice a month. The programs are usually put on by the members. This creates a sense of responsibility. Or some- times there is a speaker. An interesting lecture was given on China, its people, and schools. We also have some out-door activities. This fall we hiked to a woods, ate our supper and then sang around a fire. Friendship, co-operation, and responsibility are developed among the girls throughout the year. These are very helpful in becoming a good citizen. And they will prove to benefit more in the coming years. Fifth row: Mary Louise Dean, Louise Soldner, Esther Kohler.

Our main function is to stimulate interest in scientific thinking outside the class room. Meetings are held every Tuesday night as regularly as possible. Because of other extra curricular activity conflicts, it has been impos- sible to hold meetings regularly for the last few months. When meetings are held, there is no definite program arranged. The members pursue their own field of interest. Mr. Geiger, our advisor, is always there to assist in a special experi- ment. The equipment added to the department this year, consists of a motor-driven vacuum pump and glass blower that runs with the air given off from the pump. The most recent addition is a photo-electric relay. There is no charge connected with the club as the school furnishes the equipment and ma- terials. HOME ECONOMICS RECRUITS H E. R., standing for Home Economics Recruits, originated in 1941. It is the former Future Homemakers of America. The change was made for two reasons. First-In order to admit into the club, all girls interested in Home Economics voca- tions such as dietitians, designers, and demonstrators. Second-So that we might be affiliated with the American Home Economics Association, our national organization. H. E. R, aims are to provide opportunity for: 1. Personal development of the member. 2. Service to school and community. 3. Active participation in improving home and family living. For aim one, each member takes an active part in the programs. Yearly activi- ties are initiations, banquets, outside parties, and sharing in camp life. For aim two, some service is done by each, such as helping the Red Cross or making bandages for the hospital. For aim three, each tries to keep her surroundings neat and does her best at all times. A banquet is also held each year. This year we became very grown up and dined at the Walnut Grill. One of the outstanding parties this year was when the H. E, R. girls enter- tained the vocational boys on St. Patrick's Day. Another party that was enjoyed was the Christmas party held at the home of the president, Ellen Basinger. Also, a skating party was held at the Ada skating rink, and a style show and tea were given for the Mothers and Alumni. Summer activities are as yet unplanned, depending upon war conditions. Plans are being made for a week of summer camping, if arrangements can be made. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The F. F. A. was first started in Virginia as a state organization. Several other states followed and in 1928 it became a national orgnaization. Ohio was the thir- teenth state to enter ino the organization. It became an organization in the Bluffton school in 1930 and has been an active part of the school ever since then. One of the main purposes of the F. F. A. is to teach the boys economical ways of farming. They are learning to keep constant records of farm income and expendi- tures since one of the requirements to become a member of the F. F. A. is to keep a record of at least one project. These projects may consist of any farm crop or animal. The boys must therefore all be from the farm and be enrolled in Vocational Agriculture. The Future Farmers of America also have some social and athletic gatherings with other schools. The pest contest is an annual contest to be looked forward to. There are five schools competing and after the contest a party is given by all. They have basketball games with other schools and in this way become better acquainted with the activities of other schools. The F, F. A. boys and the H. E. R. girls also enjoy parties together. They do not always have contests for social purposes. The parliamentary Pro- cedure contest is a national contest. It is first held in districts and then the winner goes to state and national contests. Another national contest is the judging contest. These contests are for F. F. A. boys only and help them in their future life. The motto of the F. F. A. is: Learning to Do Doing to Learn Earning to Dive Living to Serve Fourth row: Nadine Allman, Janet Steiner, Glenna Kohler, Virginia Miller, Harriette Fett.

NATIONAL FCRENSIC DEBATE QUESTION MILITARY TRAINING Dorothy Anderson I is Darlene Truex ORATORY Rosann Hilty I ' ' Roberta Wenger DECLAMATION -4: if - EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH The question for debate this year was: Resolved-Every male citizen should have one year of military training before reaching the draft age. The debate team did well after having quite a time keeping up with national changes, which altered the question several times. Approximately thirty-eight students entered the Prince of Peace Contest. Among the local winners that took second in the county were Marcene Stonehill, Darlene Truex, and Hildred Eversole. Those who entered in the district Speech League at Marysville were Ruth Hankish and Marcene Stonehill in humorous declamation, Eloise Sommer in oratorical declamation, R, Hankish and Rosann Hilty in original oratory, and R. Hilty and Alice Oyer in extemporaneous speech. Oyer and Hilty Went on to Bowling Green to the N. F. L. meet, then on to Columbus to the Ohio State Speech League. Considering the competition during the last year, the students have done very well.

The first play given by the Thespians was the Thanksgiving play called, 'AA Modern Thanksgiving . This depicted a family of average Americans anticipating that great day and making their plans on how it should be spent. i A Stranger in Bethlehem was the Christmas drama given. The play was built on the theory that Christ may appear in many different forms and at an un- expected time. As Easter Dawns was the title of the play given for Easter. Faith is the keynote of the unforgetable lesson that runs stirringly throughout the sincere and thoughtful pageant drama. Much acting ability was portrayed in these plays during the year.

BAND The distant beating of drums and blowing of horns, the flash of uniforms and rhythmic stepping as the band comes closer-a feeling to be forever remembered in the heart of a child and forever thrilling to the heart of an American. Bluff'ton's High School Band has left many pleasant memories in the hearts of Bluffton's citizens during the pasrt school year. It has performed an important part by fur- nishing snappy music and marching for many of the local activities and holidays. Many football games and pep meetings were enlivened by the playing and formations of the band. A Band Parent's Association is now backing the band whole hearitedly in the purchasing of new band uniforms. This is proving a very important division of the band and will undoubtedly produce results. As this is the year of the band contest our band will journey to Bowling Green to participate. Another important contest will be held at Ada. Here many solo and ensemble groups will be entered. Without a band, our extra curricular activities would seem incomplete. Let's never give anyone a chance to say that anything of Bluffton High has ever been incomplete, and in future years make our band a large and more -active organization than ever before. CRCHESTRA The bell rings for the changing of classes. There is the clash of opening lockers. Forty-two students assemble in the music room. There is the bedlam of tuning violins, cornets, flutes, trombones and all the other instruments that go to make up one of the most important organizations in the school . . the director raises his baton. Order comes miraculously out of chaos, and the orchestra swings into a stirring march. This is a scene that has been repeated many times in the past year. One of the most interesting activities this year was the joint program of the Ada and Bluffton orchestras. The combined orchestras had a membership of eighty. The Prelude and Intermezzo from the L'Arlesienne Suite, Brahm's Hungarian Dance No. 5, a Mozart Suite, the Procession of the Sardar, the Swan from the Carnival of the Animals, and the Sunrise at Sea Overture were played. The orchestra also played for various school activities and has been well received. We of the orchestra wish to extend our thanks and appreciation for the splendid work Mr. Hauenstein has done this year in working with us. To his leadership is due the progress which the orchestra has made and the degree of musicianship which it has attained.

CHEER LEADERS We, as the Bluffton High School cheerleaders, have had a Very interesting time this year in being able to attend all of the athletic games and in trying to help keep up the morale and sportsmanship of the team as well as that of the students. We wish to thank the school administration for permiting buses to be taken to out-of-town games in order to make it possible for our student cheering section to attend the games. Also, we wish tothank the student body for the wholehearted attendance, for cheering as hard as they could, and for the sportsmanship which they kept up throughout all of the games.

With such a group, our hopes should be fufilled for D, good season with many good matches. At the time this article was written, the net- tcrs were not yet completely organized. Also, because exceptionally bad weather makes it im- possible to repair the courts properly, they have not started strenuous practice yet this spring. For the last few years, Bluffton tennis teams have met with Lima South, Lima Central, Ada, and Bowling Green. Similar matches are sched- uled for this season. Near the end of the school year a District Tennis Tournament is held at Bowling Green. The tournament is conducted like those in basketball, only there are no teams classed as A and B. Instead, all teams compete in the same group. We anticipate a good season, fellows-don't disappoint us.

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. A Bluffton I Sam 1904 Fel?
