10 ? bby Wij, hn : id ub irigg . y vgs Seniors! It doesn’t seem possible. Just six years ago, in September 1949, we invaded the halls of Bluffton High Sch ool. Everything was so new and different to us. The first week or so, we thought that three minutes was far too short a time to find our way fo classes. We then moved on to the eighth grade. We looked back at the new seventh graders, smiling at their mis- takes and feeling pretty big and important, forgetting we had made the same mistakes the year before. Then came our first year in high school. We were then responsible for making out our own schedules and taking the courses we wished. We were allowed to attend the high school dances and also participated in all the sports, music, and clubs open to us. Our sophomore year brought our treasured class rings and the joining of two new clubs, Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y. During our junior year, we were kept very, very busy. We had cookie sales all summer, a paper drive, sold Christmas wreaths, sold at ball games, and under- took many other projects. Our three one-act plays, ‘“Butch”’, “Lonely Lady,’’ and ‘‘The Ghost Wore White,”’ were a big success. We were also hosts at the Junior- Thirty-five Seniors PRESIDENT Rex Ervin Aukerman 6 Auk’’ Class President 4; Varsity B 1,2,3,4; Hi-Y 2; Buccaneer Staff 3,4; Student Senate 4; Student Patrol 4; Football 1,2,3,4; Baseball 2,3,4.

TREASURER Ralf Edward Steiner ‘‘Ralf’’ Class Treasurer 4; Hi-Y 4. Reach the Top Senior Prom. The prom theme was ‘‘Evening at the Stork Club,”’ and we all pitched in to make it a prom the seniors would remember. At last, we reached our highest step in B.H.S.— Seniors. All year, the thirty-five of us worked and planned for our big trip to Washington and New York. We had a magazine drive, presented our class play, “We Shook the Family Tree,’’ and other projects for trip money. Then came graduation, followed by fare- wells to all our friends at school. We have been the leaders at B.H.S. Now, we must look ahead to being leaders in our homes, communities, and perhaps, even our country. However no matter where we may go in the future, our lives have been greatly affected by our high school, from which we have gained many happy and unforgettable memories.
