This is what our new seventh grade needed when they first entered Bluffton High School. However, the forty-five members took part in nu- merous activities and proved to be a very active group. They were in charge of the Christmas Assembly, and they participated in the magazine-selling con- test. During the year they were active in football, basketball, and musical organizations. Nearly all of them took part in keeping everyone else busy. This led them to acquire the nickname Hwiggly little rascalsn. The seventh graders found Bluffton High a nice place to spend their next five years. Eighth Graders Are Enthusiastic of B. H. S. Since the eighth graders were beginning their second year in junior high school, the 52 members found their way around easily and entered into various activities with enthusiasm. When the junior high grades held their magazine- selling contest, the eighth grade sold over S700 worth of magazines. The class also sponsored a concession at the Halloween carnival and contributed the pro- ceeds to the P.T.A. fund. The eighth grade chorus sang several selections at the Thanksgiving assembly, which the eighth grade planned. Several boys participated in junior high football, and others were members of the junior high basket- ball squad. Two members of the class were also reserve cheerleaders. The class of l96I is looking forward to becoming full-Hedged members of B.I-I.S.

The class is especially looking for- ward to their class trip as seniors. The biggest money-making project was the class play, No More Homework . Other projects were the sale of Christmas corsages and pins, and concessions at ball games. The class also sponsored a leap year clay and dance. Besides planning the Homecoming festiv- ities, the juniors played hosts to the class of I957 at the junior-senior banquet and prom. 28 Roger Edwards, President Sandra Kimmet, Vice-President Judith I-Iilty, Secretary Ann Stauffer, Treasurer Judith Hilty, Sandra Kimmet, and jerry Edinger try to sell Bill Ramseyer a mum at the Homecoming game.

We, the class of l957, entered school last fall to complete six very busy and happy years in B.H.S. Our first two years were the slowest, although we entered all the sport and music activities open to us. Then we were freshmen, and besides being able to choose our own courses, we could participate in new activities. Our main project that year was selling pirate badges. The sophomore year was a very exciting year. The class looked forward to receiving their class rings. Looking ahead to their many junior projects, the members raised money with cookie sales throughout the year. At the beginning of the junior year our thoughts turned first to the planning of Homecoming. Later in the year we put into production the class play. Three Fingers in the Door . The biggest project of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, for which we played hosts to the seniors. The Prom theme was Evening in Paris , and the dance and ban- quet proved to be very enjoyable. Our senior year was the busiest. We started the year with a paper drive. Later in the year the class sponsored dances after the football games, and sold Christmas cards and pen sets as well as magazine subscriptions. ln February we presented our class play, The Little Dog Laughed . All our effort was not in vain, for we were looking forward to our class trip to New York City and Washington, D.C. An important milestone in our lives occurred on May 23 when we graduated and left B.H.S. to fulfill our class motto, In ourselves our future lies . ti X f Donald Gene Alspach Ruth Elizabeth Augsburger Donald Ray Badertscher Jane Marie Baclertscher Lois Arlene Balmer Gareth Lynn Basinger Duane Arlo Bixel Raeleen Jo Bucher Linda Lee Core Marvin John Diller Mary ,Iohannah Diller Richard Dale Garmatter Christine Rae Geiger Ronald Keith Geiser Margie Ann Gerber Miriam Kay Gierman Dan Maynard Gleason Ronald Thomas Hahn William Allen Herr Paul Allen jorg Nancy jane Katterheinrich YX-.

Pirates Triumph As Northwest Conference Champions Although losing eight regulars through graduation, the Pirates came up with a versatile, hard-hitting squad which emerged undefeated but once-tied in N.W.C. play. The Pirates, racking up a 6-0-I league record, were led by the quarterbacking of joe Urich in chalking up Bluffton's first champion- ship since entering the league in 1953. For the season the Pirates tallied a 7-I-l record, with the only loss being a one point heart-breaker at the hands of Wapakoneta. The tie with Elida was the only other dent in the record, and by scoring three clutch extra points, Bluffton could have been undefeated. Smoothly directing the team from the split-T formation, Urich paced the team with his passing -52 out of H0 for I2 touchdowns-and with his fine running of the option play on which he crossed the goal I2 times. Credit must also be given to ends Alspach and Reichenbach for their pass catching: to Kohli, Basinger, Yoder, I-lartman, and Greiner for their fine blocking and pass protecting: to Lewis, Logan, Mathewson, and Schiffke for steady ball carrying and pass snaggingg to Shu- maker, Herr, and Diller for their stellar defensive work, and to coaches Schmidt and Harris for their fine guidance. Bluffton 6 - Vanlue 6-Playing the first game of the Bluffton Prevue, the Pirates came from behind on a 28-yard dash by Lewis to tie Vanlue. Bluffton 35 - Lafayette 13-Unveiling a strong aerial attack, the Pirates scored three times in the Hnal quarter. Urich hit 6 for 9 and Diller 2 out of 5 to bury the Wolves. Urich scored two touch- downs and Lewis, Alspach, and Mathewson each added one. Lewis also booted 5 extra points. Bluffton 25 - Ada 7-Scoring four touchdowns in the second quarter, the Pirates ground out a rain- soaked victory. Lewis scored once and Urich three times, twice on spectacular 45 yard runs, in the fumble-filled contest. Bluffton 13 - Elida 13-The Pirates scored twice in the last period to forge ahead, but Elida bounced back to tie in the important N.W.C. game. Urich and Lewis each tallied once. Bluffton 25 - Pandora-Gilboa 13--Using the ground game to score four times, the Pirates out- lasted the Rockets. Logan scored twice and Ma- thewson and Urich each scored once. Bluffton trailed after three quarters, but Logan's running erased the deficit in the final period. Bluffton 27 - Delphos 7-Again coming from behind, the Pirates unleashed their passing attack in the third quarter. Urich hit Schiffke twice and Alspach once with scoring passes, and Schiffke ran for the final tally. Bluffton 46 - Spencerville 6-In our Homecom- ing contest, the Pirates ran over the hapless Bear- cats for Queen Nancy. Urich led the scoring with 3 touchdowns, while Lewis added 2 and four extra points. The other tallies were by Alspach on a pass and by Yoder on a recovery of a blocked punt in the end zone. Bluffton 28 - Columbus Grove 7-A well bal- anced attack carried the Pirates through the rugged tilt. The Bulldogs held the Pirates 7-7 at the half, but Urich began passing and hit Alspach twice with touchdown heaves. Bluffton 12 - Wapakoneta 13-Wapak scored in the last period to knock the Pirates from the unde- feated ranks. The bigger line of the Redskins proved just a little too much as their backs gained short yardage on almost every play. The most spec- tacular play of the game was a 65 yard pass-run from Urich to Lewis. Bluffton 27 - Forest 6-ln the final game of the year, the Pirates wrapped up their first league crown. Urich connected with Logan and Lewis for 50 and 45 yard touchdown passes. Yoder and Mathewson also added scores. Urich also contrib- uted 27 tackles on defense. Urich dashes around left end, aided by Ronald Geiser, student announcer Robert Ewing, faculty manager. Loga.n's blocking. and football statistician. fa+sw.muL f .

Sparked by the dual 20 point totals of Alspach and Diller, the Pirates won their second game over Hardin-Northern, 80-52. The Bluffton quintet outscored the visitors in every period. Winning their third consecutive game of the year, the Pirates won over Lafayette, 70-56. A torrid third period in which the Pirates scored 28 points provided the margin. Diller again led the attack with 20 markers. In their first WBL contest the Pirates won from Shawnee, 70-61. Bluffton led all the way, but needed well-balanced scoring to overcome Gould's ZI for the Tribe. Alspach was high for the Pirates with 16. Bluffton was thwarted in its attempt to stretch its win string to five in a row by red-hot Elida, 85-63. Alspach and Diller were high with 2I points apiece. Almost upset again, the Pirates had to come from behind to beat Cory-Rawson, 54-51. A fourth period spurt provided the winning margin. Urich sparked the comeback with 17. Bluffton met with its second defeat at Ada to the tune of a 65-57 setback. Ada showed a well- balanced attack in beating the Pirates. Gleason led the team with 15, followed by Alspach and Cneiser with I2. In the first game of the Holiday Tournament, the Pirate crew slashed up Cory-Rawson, 65-34. The Pirates displayed a fine defense and played good offense to gain revenge for their earlier scare by the Hornets. Alspach was high with 14. Bluffton won its first Bluffton College Holiday Tourney by a 63-46 score over Pandora-Gilboa. Urich scored I6 for high honors. The Pirates opened the second half of the season with an 85-58 rout of Celina. The contest was the best team effort of the year. Diller and Alspach were scoring leaders with 26 and 23 points. Unable to stop the scoring of 6' 8 Jim Severs, the Pirates lost a WBL game to Kenton, 82-52. The big center racked up 4I points as the Pirates were outscored in every period. Diller was high for the losers with I3 tallies. Hopes of a WBL championship went down the drain as the Pirates lost to Wapakoneta, 62-49.

Getting back into the winner's bracket, the Pirates won a hard-fought battle over Pandora- C-ilboa. The margin was made in the second period as the Pirates made seven more points than the visitors. Ceiser paced the winners with 20 points. Sparked by Diller's season high total of 33 points, the Pirates won from Bath Township, 81-63. The second half rally buried Bath as Diller and Lewis hit on deadly set shots. Lewis added 2I for Bluffton. Bluffton played its first overtime contest and lost to Bellefontaine, 62-56.

Good racked 31 points and was aided by Smith's 23 to lead the Cougars. Gleason was the leader for Bluffton with 18. The first half of the season raised the hopes of the Bluffton following with a 7-2 won-lost record. However, after the Celina game the roof fell in. Urich was lost with a broken hand for several weeks, and despite the same record-breaking Pirate offense, losses piled up because of a poor defense. Bluffton lost 7 of its last 11 games as the squad finished with a disappointing II-9 record. Nine seniors played their final year for the Pirates: Alspach, Basinger, Diller, Geiser, Gleason, Herr, Leiber, Urich and Yoder. iotball managers: Dale Schiffke, Alspach gets in position to receive the Basketball managers: Don Badertscher rry Mumma, and David Benroth. rebound in the Pandora game. and David Schumaker, - -nn-www ,. .
