Mr. Short, Mr. Ibillclh Back of every institution is an organized group responsible for its control, management, and development. ln the case of the public schools that group is the board of education, elected by the people and respon- sible to them for the management, progress and control of the peoples schools. Its function is to determine policies, and give formal expression of the official will. ln time of war the schools must go on. They must furnish morale, and preserve the elements of human decency in a world likely to forget them. lt's through public education that loyalty and faith in America are maintained. The schools help to guarantee the will to live and to build better. When many other things are being rationed, othcrs Hot obtainable at all, character still has priority. Our grateful appreciation goes out to the board of education for keeping the schools open, and continuing a normal school life for Amer-- ican youth. The opportunities offered are not rationeil. To all there has been an open door through which to ENTER TO LEARN ANU GO l Oll'l'll TO SlClclVlC . Gur Superintendent Provi es A Basis .. RATIGNING Meats, cheese, butter, fats, canned fish, canned milk, processed foods, gasoline, sugar, shoes, tires, fuel oil,-all flash through our minds as we hear Rationing mentioned. But that is the democratic, the American way of sharing. Who wouldn't gladly sacrifice any of the rationed articles to help win this war, or to help those who are daily giving their all in the service of their country, to bring freedom, justice to the oppressed peoples of the world? And still the best things of the world are not rationed. Faith, hope, goodness, mercy, man- hood and womanhood,-of these things there is no death. Opportunities are fresh every day, even as the morning sunshine. Education, , knowledge, love of truth-are free as the air we breath. No, these require no rationing. A A. J. B. Longsdorf Wortiiy Priiicipai Bllhier We have accepted the rationing program as good citizens as a part of our American life, willing to give and sacrifice for those whom we love most dearly. It is the spirit of Democracy to do without rather than to have our boys in service suffer for want of things needed to keep them in good health and comfort. ssiri. Rationing has helped us to appreciate things we were accustomed to have in abundance, all kinds of foods, new automobiles and plenty of gasoline, radios, refrigerators. There are many things which are now rationed, but we are aware that what schools have to offer has not lessened. We only need to think what the educational pro- gram is like in countries where the bombs fall or in countries which are now in the hands of enemies. Do students appreciate the opportuni- ties which are theirs, to be able to get a train- ing of their own choosing? It is only a de- mocracy which permits that choice. In this time of stress and strain our country needs better trained minds, backed by well es- tablished characters. It is a challenge to every red blooded American to use these unrationed opportunities to prepare, help, give and make Democracy live.

A little bewildered by the entirely different surroundings we soon became accustomed to high school life. We chose Sara Bracy as our class president to be assisted by Rob- ert Neuenschwander. We are inclined both musically and athletically. We lend our voices to the junior choir and some of us play in the junior orchestra. For the girls there is the Blue Triangle Club as extra curriculum. A number of our boys are members of the Boy Scout organizations in Bluffton. We, the class of 1949 show many possibilities and in the years to come we shall develop our talents to the fullest extent in every field. Sth ra e Although we have only been in High School for two years we are a very active group of eighth graders. We take a special liking for music and athletics. Some of us are in the eighth grade choir and in junior orchestra. The Blue Triangle Club offers extra curriculum for our girls. There are a number of Boy Scouts in our class of which we are very proud. A few of our classmates are reporters for the Cutlass. lt is our ambition to strive to develop each talent so that when we, the class of 1948 take our places in the world we may be a success in everything we do.

At present we have an enrollment of nearly sixty which is, incidentally, the largest class in Bluffton High School at the present time. l ' Our class is especially interested in sports, our girls playing on winning basket- ball and volleyball teams during intrascholastic games. Also, a number of our class mates take an active part in Glee Club and Orchestra. Practically all of us are in at least one or more activities which proves that we help enlarge the enrollment of a half a dozen clubs. Our officers for this year were Alice Pannabecker, Presidentg Imogene Wenger, Secretary-Treasurer. 5 f 5 'Q' yn' J , f 'f 1, fg 'if L. f N J 3 Z M xxx, 1 Q..

OP OITIOIC Class We Sophomores of Bluffton High School participate in many activities. There are a number of us in Junior Honor Society. Some of the girls are active member of G. R., helping the various committees and taking part in the programs. Others are learning the art of home- making in H. E. H. The boys are in various clubs such as Hi-y and F. F. A. We also show great possibilities, taking part in band, orchestra, and Glee Club. Sports play an active part in our curriculum. Several of our boys are members of both football and basketball teams. From this, it is very evident that the Sophomores will prove to be a great asset to Bluffton High School.

Goo Designer of Interior Decorations Art Club News Stand enior Class We, a class of forty-five members, entered junior high school with a twinge of the proverbial green color, but soon settled ourselves comfortably for the first lap of our twelve-year voyage after having launched successfully under the capable leadership of Mary Margaret Basinger. As eighth graders we were guided by Varden Loganbill in preparation for the coming title of Freshies . The fall of 1940 marked our entry into senior high school when we proceeded to take our place in the various curriculum of the school, i, e., music, journalism, and athletics. While Glenna Swick took over the position of class president the class was algo becoming more interested in helping to maintain the scholastic record of the sc oo . By the time we become sophomores we were a well-established fact in the school curriculum. The responsibility of leadership was carried by Roger Klay. At last we have attained the rank of upper-classmen when we started our fifth lap a Juniors. Led by Margaret Griffith as President, the most outstanding events of the year were the successful Jr.-Sr. wartime prom and the class play, Coveralls . Our class advisors were Mr. Geiger and Mrs. Luginbuhl. We now took a decided role in music, drama, journalism, and athletics, with two of our fellow classmates as lettermen on both the football and basketball teams. The fall of 1943 found us on the doorstep of our Senior Year, destined to fill the capacity of dignified seniors . . Chosen as executives of our class were Varden Loganbill, President, Madalene McCune, Vice Presdentg Janice Hankish, Secretary, and Harry Minck, Treasurer. This year we had more responsibilities in the field of leadership producing the Buccaneer, advised by Mr. Stauffer, the Cutlass, athletic teams, music, drama, and the various clubs. And now, as we leave Bluffton High School with a mingled feeling of joy and sadness to go forth to serve and to take our place in this war-torn world we, the class of 1944 say to you Juniors, Make the best of every opportunity that is yours and you will carry with you our wishes for your success in filling the capacity we have left you. enior Class ay---is ane yi-en Jane Eyre is a romantic play of an orphan girl who becomes governess at Thornfield Hall.

The Senate is run by parliamentary procedure thus it provides fair decision and excellent training. Members of the Senate are chosen from the upper classes and has a representative from the different clubs, classes and organizations of our school. , Duties of the Senate are to choose chapel committees, also sale of candy at games is decided upon by the Senate. Choosing of student patrol is one of the duties, and other problems vital to the school are discussed and passed upon by the Senate. Student Senate has indeed' played an important part in the opera- tion of our school system.

S, known as the Science Club has helped to stimulate scientific thinking and experimentation outside the classroom. With our advisor and light handyman, Mr. Geiger we are developing a much clearer working knowledge of science. We try to hold a meeting every other Tuesday night, but due to coniiicts in time we have had to postpone several meetings. Chemistry, physics, and biology students have found the meetings extremely valuable in catching up on back work. The thing most members enjoy most is that they are very informal, that is, there is nothing they have to do, but rather may please their own field of interest. So far this year we have blown glass, etched glass, made several gases, and explosives and watch living organisms through the mico projector. We are planning to get Mr. Stettler to talk on astronomy and bring the College telescope along. The club is open to freshmen on up, and the dues are only 25c. This is a trilie compared with the satisfaction of knowing what goes on so why not join next year. Officers are: President Secretary-treasurer Charles Triplehorn Robert E.

Student Patrol The student patrol which has been an established fact in Bluffton High School since 1935, was carried on as usual this year. Last year three girls were added to the patrol staff and as this plan worked out quite well this year's patrol was chosen with that thought in mind. The patrol were chosen by the student senate and the faculty. Three of the number are seniors and the other two, juniors. Madalene McCune was chosen Captain and the other members are Lieutenants Ruth Burkholder, Robert Amstutz, Janet Steiner, James Daily, and Dean Neiswander. Some of the duties of the patrol are patroling at assemblies, pep meetings, in the halls, on the school grounds, promoting safety, disci- pling, and in general seeing that the traffic laws are carried out. The patrols were officially installed by a Corporal who, representing the State Highway Department, gave a brief talk on safety before he presented the badges. The patrol appreciates the cooperation of the Student body as well as the teachers during this past year and as a group they wish, The Best of Luck, to the oncoming patrol. uccaneer St aff on-an Mmlnlm-nl' Mc-Cum-, ill:-um.

The Council got off to a big start by having the classes vote for a Victory Queen and two attendants. The Queen was Mary Margaret Basinger, her attendants, Ruth Burkholder and Glenna Swick. At the celebration a football, bought by the council, sold for a S350 War Bond, auctioned off by Leonard Gratz. Another activity was a Fourth War Loan drive in which the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Twelfth bought a jeep and the Eleventh grade bought another jeep.

CSPla1'1S The Thespian organization is a dramatic honor society which is de- signed to further dramatics in high schools. Membership is determined on the basis of interest and ability in dramatics, and memorization of a certain number of lines. This year the members of the Thespians presented several plays in chapel and to various organizations. The Thanksgiving play was She Made a Punkin' Pie , the story of a modern family until the fiancee of their son arrives and helps with the pie. Christopher's Candle was the Christmas play, presenting the trou- bles of a little boy who wanted a candle to put in his window on Christ- mas Eve. In addition to these, various other skits and short plays were pre- sented to different organizations in the community. 0 nny I1 tie Spot Johnny arrives home to find himself a hero. Why everyone thinks him a hero he does not learn until he meets Sherry Lee, a radio song- stress. Miss Lee has introduced a song Keep the Guns A Poppin and told reporters that John Williams uttered these heroic words during the line of duty. After this startling news all the girls readily fall for John- ny, even Julee, who was considered as Wayne's CJohnny's younger broth- erb best girl. Melinda, owner of Melinda's Hat Shop, is very proud of her oldest son, but she is having trouble keeping her shop from going on the rocks. Nadine, an authority on hats, is visiting her twelve-year-old niece, Katie, and everyone tries to get her to notice Melinda's hats. Johnny's energetic little grandmother keeps up the morale of the family and the children are all fond of her. There are also Wilma and Sal, reporter and photographer, Christie. siren of Melinda's Hat Shop, Bubbles and Marge, Julee's friends, and Dee's gang.

This aim has been carried out in sending the Cutlass to boys in the service, in manufacturing bed trays for Red Cross, and collecting clothes for relief. Our club has sent the Cutlass to most of the fellows in service who were in Hi-Y at the same time we '44 members were in the club, This year the club sponsored an all High School Father and Son Banquet. An excellent speaker with fine musical entertainment were the high lights of the banquet. The Hi-Y made a definite step towards aiding the European Relief Program by collecting clothes for the College Relief Room. Bob Hurkholder represented the club at Camp Nelson Dodd. Mr. Buhler, Otto Klassen, Dean Niswander, and Bob Burkholder attended the State Y. M. C. A. Con- ference at Columbus. To create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community, high stand- ards of Christian character , is the Hi-Y code. The Hi-Y club has done its best to live up to this code. Officers are: President Vice President Bob Rurkholder Otto Klassen Secretary-treasurer Program Chairman Leonard Smucker Dean Niswander Publicity Chairman Faculty Advisor Robert Amstutz Mr. Buhler CSCITVCS No girl who has belonged to the Girl Reserves will regret those days or forget the happy times she has had. She will remember those unforgettable things which the organization has otllered her-sociability, religious guidance, and high ideals. Under the competent leadership of Mrs, Kenneth Luginbuhl, we had many in- teresting meetings, both business and social. When Mrs. Luginbuhl left in late llecember to join her husband, Miss Keel was her successor. Under her guidance we gave an entertaining Daughter-Dad pot-luck, held a successful G. R. Week, and had numerous other interesting meetings. Last summer the Girl Reserves were fortunate in being able to send the entire cabinet of ten members to Camp Pittenger. At this camp we were instructed in our future duties and we brought back with us many new and interesting ideas to be used by the club here. Some of the outstanding meetings of the past year besides those already men- tioned were indoor Hobo Jumbler to begin the year, a Recognition Service, the annual Bluffton-Pandora joint meeting at Pandora, joint meetings with the Hi-Y and our sister organization, the Blue Triangle, and an impressive Consecration Service. This year the Girl Reserves have originated a project which will probably be kept up by the future Girl Reserve clubs. When a girl has obtained two hundred points, she is eligible to buy a G. R. ring or pin. These points can be earned in ditl erent ways, such as taking part in the program, washing dishes, etc. Altogether, this past year has been very successful, and we wish the future Girl Reserves the best of luck.

Clltl3SS The Cutlass is published by and for the students of Bluffton High School to express the unbiased opinion of the student body, to establish high standards of conduct, scholarship, and sportsmanship, to encourage greater interest and participation in all school activities, and to promote stronger cooperation between the students and the administrationfi The publication records the main events in the life of the high school in addition to regular columns which express the ideas of the students, and gives the staff of reporters an opportunity to practice a journalistic style of writing. The editorial staff handles the distribution of articles, proof reading, head writing, and assembling of the paper. This year an issue of the paper has been put out every three weeks. A much reduced budget has made it necessary to limit the number of publications. In the absence of a regular advisor, Miss Mildred Keel, Mr. Gerhard Buhler, and Mr. Paul Stauffer have acted as advisors. UC 1121113 C Blue Triangle is for all Junior High girls to join. Starting in the year 1935 it has proved to be a very worth while organization. The Blue Triangle is conside1'ed to be the little sister to the G. R. and Y. W. C. A. The sides of the triangle represent spiritual, cultural, and physical. We try to touch at least one of these points at each meeting which is us- ually held every two weeks. The programs are of a varied nature and all members are asked to take part in the program some time or another during the year. These types of programs make it more interesting and also create a feeling of responsibility. A roller skating party was enjoyed by all when the G. R. was our guest. In December a very interesting talk was given by Prof. Klassen. The main purposes of this club are getting the girls together to form better friendship, to help them to take responsibility, and learn co- operation. This of course will make better citizens for the country prom- ising to be even more beneficial in our years to come. Back row, le-ft to right -Nancy I l'ankhauser. Jeanette Finton.

To strengthen the confidence of Future Farmers in their work. 3. Development of character. 4. To participate in cooperative effort. o. To encourage and practice thrift. 6. To encourage improvement in scholarship. We aim to have two meetings a month with regular parliamentary form along with opening and closing ceremonies. We have parties with the H. E. R., take part in parliamentary pro- cedure contests and pest hunts with other schools in Allen. This year our organization took first place in Allen County Pest Hunt. We live by our Motto which is: Learning to Do Doing to Learn Earning to Live Living to Serve. Officers are : President Secretary Dale Huber Paul Reichenirach Vice President Treasurer ' Ronald Zimmerly Kenneth Reichenbach Reporter Wayne Badertscher H. E. R. H. E. R. has followed a new policy of a point system this year. When- ever a member serves on a committee or each time present at a meeting, they are given so many points. At the end of the year, the total of points is to see if the person is able to go with us on our trip. We have decided to spend a day or two at Toledo, staying at a hotel. Many new and interesting parties were enjoyed this year. Christ- mas party, Halloween party at Miss Weed's, slumber party at Levon Wilch's, gave F. F. A. Chili supper and skating party. Went to Lima and enjoyed theater party. We also did some service work. This year we plan to have a style show and crown a Home Econ- omics Queen .

This year has been a busy and entertaining year for the A Capella. Among the events of the year were putting on the operetta, In Gay Ha- vanna , in the first part of the year and participating in the Spring Fes- tival, which was held in Bluffton this year. The songs chosen to be sung by the mixed choir for the Festival included: Czecho, A Slovakian Dance Song aranged by Kroneg Since First I Saw Your' Face, by Fordg Now Thank We All Our God, by Bach, and Findlandia, by Sibelius. The choir was not only active in public performances but also partici- pated in school programs. MIII Gay I-I2lV21I13,n The vocal division of the music department, under the direction of Miss Harriet Brate, presented the Operetta, In Gay Havana.

This musical fixture has become so much a part of community life that it is almost thought of as being apart from the high school The bulk of the band membership being made up of underclassmen, a sizable nucleus will be left for coming years. The loss of several mem- bers by graduation has been made up this year by students who have re- cently taken up instruments. Owing to the inexperience of many members, the band has not given as many public concerts as is customary, but it appeared at the annual spring concert with the orchestra and choir. The members of the band also played at several football games, adding to the spirit of the occasion. The students in the band wish to express their thanks and apprecia- tion to Mr. Hauenstein for the constant interest he has taken in working with the organization. It is through his efforts that the high standards of music have been maintained in our school system. rchestra Music has always been considered one of the essentials in the extra- curricular life of Buffiton High School, and one of the traditional organi- zations of the school system is the orchestra. Although music contests have been suspended during the national emergency, the students have maintained the high standards of the or- ganization. The orchestra has been slightly reduced in size, with a mem- bership of thirty-four students, but underclassmen have taken the place of musicians lost through graduation, and the program for 1943-1944 may be considered quite successful. The orchestra has appeared in various concerts in addition to chapel performances. This spring it presented a concert in collaboration with the band and choir. The members of the orchestra wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Hauenstein for his untiring efforts. As director of the instrumental music of the high school, he has held before the students the tradition of the highest musical standards which have made the Bluffton High School orchestra outstanding among the high school orchestras of the state.

October had its thrills with a Halloween party. In December Mrs. Lantz entertained with a Christmas party. The rest of the year was divided among various kinds of meetings. Potlucks, Weiner roasts, riding home on milk trucks, dressings in Halloween costumes, reports on Christmas decorations, scrapbooks for the community hospital, mixed with games and refreshments and topped off with a roller skating party caried the art club through a highly enter- taining and satisfactory year.

Good Luck to the Pifrrites of the futinwa' .' Oofhall Bluffton Pirate Football team finished the season with a total of five wins against four losses and held third place in the Western Buckeye League. Opening the season under the direction of the new coach, Russell Hasson, the Pirate eleven trounced the Kenton Wildcats 14-7. Then came a tragic one, tied up at 12 all, the Ada Bulldogs shoved a winning touch- down over in the last three minutes of play clinching the game 18-12. Then came the Flying Dutchmen, the Pirates handed them their only defeat of the season by a score of 14-0. Overpowered by experience, weight and reserve strength the Bluffton eleven received their first real drubbing at the hands of the league winner Van Wert, 20-0, After four straight home games the Pirates hit the road for Celina where they got their second drubbing, 24-0. Although the weatherman was against them, a cold driving rain and muddy field, the Pirates kept up the fighting spirit throughout the entire game. Breaking into the winning column again the Pirates downed the St. Marys Roughriders 7-6. The next Pirate victim was the Wapak Red- skins. With Coach Hasson in the hospital with an eye injury, Captain Fred Herrmann and Co-captain Bob Burkholder led the team to a de- cisive victory of 28-7. Traveling again, this time to Bellefontaine, the Blufftonites came home on the short end with a 19-6 score. 1 ' I q Q QHARLES swANK BASINGER OTTO KLASSEN UND X f of f -' A VAXM Q xi X .X NN 5 N JACK Koomza 3 F RPQ D 5 H 1 if K.

A., which stands for Girls Athletic Association. Any girl in high school is eligible to join this organization and is urged to participate in the various activities offered durng the year. Basketball, badminton, soft ball, deck tennis, table tennis, shuffle- board, volleyball and tennis are all played at one time or another during the year. The girls aso work for points which are earned by participa- tion in the games mentioned. When 1000 points have been earned, the girl is given a white chinell letter. G. A. A. has a group of six girls, two seniors, two juniors, and two sophomores, as her directing body and started out with Mrs. Luginbuhl as advisor. The organization regretted losing her faithful and willing spirit. Miss Spar took over the position of advisor at the mid-year and the girls found in her a splendid leader and companion. All in all the G. A. A. enjoyed a very successful year under the two advisors. Thanks to both!

The co-operation and effort which they put forth have made any praise which can be given them well earned. The quartette of lassies in red and white is made up of one senior, Joyce Young, and three juniors, Mary Lou Shaffer, Dorothy Dunbar, and Gertrude Edgecomb. We Wish to thank these cheerleaders for the outstanding work they've acomplished, and, Good Luck to the Pirates and their Cheerleaders in the years to come. l.:-fl to right Harold Hartman.

The Pirates undefeated in the fourteen scheduled games, topped the Western Buckeye League and broke the Class B state scoring records. In sixteen games, eight of which were Class A, the Pirates scored 1030 points for a o4.4 points per game average. Lima St. Johns, who knocked the Pirates out of the tournament, was the first victim-followed by St. Rose defeat. After a heated nip and tuck battle the Pirates edged the South Tigers by a 41-40 count. It was the sizzling splurge the Pirates had at Ada that started them on their big scoring way. Making good on 54 per cent of their floor shots, the Pirates amassed a total of 94 points while holding their oppon- ents to 27. An 82-28 count was the score against the next victim, Rawson. Entering into league play, the Pirates copped the first one, Celina, 62-40. then spanked Kenton 76-40 and one to maul the St. Marys Rough- riders 73-29 for the eighth straight victory. The usual Bellefontaine-Bluffton revenge added the ninth, but also broke the Pirate Reserve streak. The subs finished with 13 wins and one loss. Grove was then added to the list and finally Ada again, this time 95-49. The Van Wert Cougars added one more win while Wapak was dinocked to second place climaxing an undisputed Pirate league champion- ship. Fred Herrmann, stellar center who averaged better than 17 points per game finished his season with the Wapak game, after which he was inducted into the United States Army. Closing the season to the Upper Sandusky quintet 58-49 the Pirates started their preparation for the Class B tournament played at Celina. Drawing a Delphos St. Johns team, the Pirates went on to win their llith straight victory by handing them a 52-46 defeat. Fate hit the Pi- rates in the next round having their record spoiled by the Lima St. John quintet. It was nip and tuck all the way with St. John after a fourth quarter rally finding themselves on the long end 45-38.

Calvin, we remember that you had entered military service July 5, 1943, had taken your basic training at Fort McClelland, Alabama, and just prior to your death were training with an engineer's unit at the State Agricultural College of Fargo. Many of us talked with you in November while you were enjoying your furlough home. We were favorably impressed by your genuine enthusiasm for the service and by your sudden emergence from boyhood into manhood. You were a soldier joyfully improving yourself in order to be of more service to your country. Thus we were surprised and shocked as we heard of your serious illness. Then in a few hours the report of your demise overwhelmed us. In spite of our grief over your going, we are proud of you, Calvin. Proud of your clean record in Bluffton, where you lived, worked, and played so many years of your boyhood. Proud of your example and leadership among the Boy Scouts of Troop 82. And not the least is our pride in your excellent record as a soldier. Therefore, Private Calvin Dudgeon, our gold-star memory of You places you eternally into that immortal group who were once our finest boys and who have since died serving their country as soldiers.

Fashion Note: There will be little change in men's pockets this year. ln the days of not so long ago the shingle was the board of education. Said the skunk when the wind changed, It all comes back to me now. Optimist: A guy who sits in the last row of the gallery and winks at the c horus girls.

And there hardly is from day to day A rule he understands. His hair is thin and getting worse, His face is gray or blue, His brow is wet with honest sweatg The set-up is so new! Day in, day out, from morn till night, You can hear the loud disputes, As the women battle for sauerkraut, Wax beans and processed fruitsg And the grocer's lot is some loud Bronx Plus some super-dooper hoots. And children coming home from school Look in at the open doorg QThey love to see how their elders act In a rationed grocery store, When both sides figure their total points And dispute the final scorelj He goes on Sunday to the church, And sees the people meek, And marvels that they are the ones Who fought with him all week! And he's glad there are no value cards When the Parson starts to speak. Toiling, computing, sorrowing, Onward through life he goesg Each morning sees the O. P. A. With new rules to disclose: Each evening sees him totter home Just a wreck from head to toes. His business isn't what it wasg And he knows that he is through cheers With the days he knew what he could sell- And knew all the prices, too! And when charts were things that a sailor used When he sailed the ocean blue. Thanks, thanks to thee, my grocer friend, For the lessons that you teach!

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.
