NINTH GRADE After attending the High School building for three school years the Freshman class is proving to its Alma Mater what a true asset it really can be. They are contributing much in the line of sports and high school activities. Some of the boys are beginning to take interest in football and basketball. Others belong to the very worthy organization, The Boy Scouts of America. A number of boys and girls from this class have shown their ability for music by joining the Glee Clubs. Blue Triangle has claimed many of the girls as active members and also one as their president for this past year. A social event which everyone enjoyed was a hay ride at the beginning of the year. Miss Keel was the competent advisor for this year and the class officers were as follows: President—Dean Sommer Vice-President—Marilyn Moore Secretary—Treva Althaus Treasurer—Anita Althaus Third Row—Robert Niswander, Wilford Diller, Samuel Buhler, Bernard Fish, Lee Hursey, Ralph Dunifon, David Basinger, Ernest Basinger, Robert Bixel, James Strunk.

Bluffton High School is a democracy within a democracy and a good example of this is the Student Senate. Membership of the Senate is consisted of leaders of the different organizations and classes of the school. In this way all the school organiza- tions are very well represented. The Senate has many duties to perform throughout the year. Among these are choosing a chapel committee, granting concessions for basketball and football games, and arranging for high school parties throughout the year. This year the Senate scheduled one party for every month. The Senate is one of the most,important organizations in the school. It is run by parliamentary procedure and thus affords additional training for its members. President—Robert Ramseyer Vice-President—Mary Lou Dean Secretary-Treasurer—Paul Steiner Advisor—Mr. Buhler Nineteen

Ever since that first day when the Sophonores, then Seventh Graders, rushed into high school, they have shown their ability in athletics and scholarship. As for evidence of the athletically inclined, we have members in basketball, football, and G. A. A. Others enjoy activities of A Capella, band, and orchestra. We even have a Sophomore Quartette. Some of the girls are active members of G. R. and H. E. R. helping on committees and taking part in programs. The boys are in various clubs such as Hi-Y and F. F. A. With Mr. Howe, our advisor, and our officers Stanley Bohn, President; Mary Jane Burkholder, Vice-President; James Ewing, Secretary and Treasurer; we have enjoyed attending the class parties they have planned for us. Summing up all these things proves they are great assets to Bluffton High School. Twenty-one
