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.
