Wliere's Miss Keel's room? Hurry! We're going to be late. These are a few of the outbursts made by the seventh graders before they were firmly settled in the new pattern of school life which faced them. Although the seventh graders could not par- ticipate in many of the high school activities, they were busy enjoying their first and planning for the future. Howard Amstutz .

They began to take an active part in Junior High activities. Many of the boys par- ticipated in sports. A few of the girls served as cheerleaders, always cheering the boys on. Some of them participated in Senior High band and or- chestra, preparing them for the role they will some- day play as upper classmen.

Looking back they wondered - Did we act like that as they observed the seventh graders hurrying to class. Being freshmen, they were introduced to many new activities.

The girls joined Tri-Hi-Y, G.A.A., and F.H.A.g the boys joined Hi-Y, Varsity B, and F.F.A. The boys also participated in sports. Several were on the- varsity squads giving them new experi- ence which will help in the years to come.

The most important one was the class play. They also sold flower bulbs, pen sets, and subscriptions to the Bluffton News. A paper drive and cake raffles at basketball games completed their pro- jects. The juniors were in charge of the prom and the homecoming dance also. They claim three majorettes, one varsity cheerleader, and several outstanding football players. They also had several varsity players in basketball, track and base' ball. The cheerleader aided the juniors in raffling cakes at basketball games.

This May most of us 39 who are now not-so-shy seniors, will gradu- ate and leave Bluffton High through those same doors We entered. It was a momentous six years. Six years of education, fun, growing up, and slowly coming to realize the responsibilities of adulthood. For some of the seniors graduation will mean an end to formal education, to others, just a beginning. These last six years have had different meaning for each individual, but not one can deny their imprint on our lives. High School has been many sided and varied, with sports, speech, journalism, dramatics, music, student government and organizations supplementing and add- ing to classroom education. Some seniors will remem- ber as the highlight of their high school days the jun- ior class play, A Double Barrelled Detective Story. Others will recall winning the Northwest Conference football championship in both '56 and '58, and taking the NWC crown in basketball in '57. But for some the most memorable moment will be something less impres- sive, like a special Tri-Hi-Y meeting, an after the game dance, or an especially interesting class discussion. For many, last year's Junior-Senior Prom, Oriental Gardens, which required many hours of work as a class, will be remembered well. The multitude of class money-rais- ing projects will not escape the recollection of many seniors. Bake sales, car washes, paper drives, magazine sales, Christmas cards, and selling sweatshirts are some of the activities we seniors have sponsored in quest of money for our annual senior class trip to New York and Washington. We will remember our teachers and be ever grate- ful that they tolerated us when we were at our worst. And so, even though we will attend Bluffton High School no longer, wherever we go, we will, with pleas- ure, recall the pleasant educating memories that it has cast upon us.

Bluffton had one lone cheerleader for the Bluffton-Spencerville football game. It wasn't be- cause the others were ill or uninterested. They had been chosen by student body to reign at the homecoming game and dance. Ann Zimmerly reigned as queen with Pamela Berry and Ruth Frankhauser attending her. The queen was escorted onto the field in a red convertible driven by Edward Niswander, her escort for the evening. The attendants both rode in white convertibles driven by Larry Mumma and David Little. The queen, attired in her red wool knit suit and carrying a bouquet of white mums tied with a red bow, made a lovely picture. Pamela and Ruth wore identical knit suits of tweed and wore corsages of white pom poms. At half time Gordon Mathewson, captain of the team, presented Queen Ann with a silver football necklace. Co-Captains Dennis Smith and Owen Ziessler presented gold necklaces to Pamela and Ruth. The homecoming dance was held in the high school gymnasium. At this time, Captain Gordon Mathewson officially acclaimed Ann Queen of Bluffton High School for the 1958 - 59 school year by placing a crown of white pom poms upon her head. The queen, her court, and their escorts danced the first dance and inaugurated the festivities of an evening they will all remember. Over A Successful Homecoming 7 And Ruth.

We got him, fellows Football Round-Up After a sluggish start, the Bluffton High School football team compiled a 7-2 record and finished in a two-way tie for first place in the Northwest Conference. The Pirates shared the league title with Elida, the only team that defeated the Bucs in league play. According to most of the experts, Elida's smashing victory over Bluffton knocked the Pirates out of the title race. The never-say-die Pirates fin- ished with six straight wins, including a pressure packed 14-6 decision over Columbus Grove which gave them a share of the championship, and climax- ed one of the greatest comebacks in Pirate history. Leading the team to its fine season was senior fullback, Ramon Lewis, who scored 168 points for the season to lead all area scorers. Credit must also be given to the Pirate line consisting of ends, Dale Schiffke and Ken Logan, tackles, Ron Habegger and Rudolph Steiner, guards, Dennis Smith and Don Zimmermang and center Jim jordan. The fine blocking and stellar defensive play were instrumental in the late season surge. Joining Lewis to form one of the best backfields in the area were senior half- back Gordon Mathewson, Owen Ziessler, and Mike Diller. Others turning in fine performances were defensive specialist Norm Hochstettler, Terry Mar- shall, Douglas Reichenbach, Charles Baber, Jim Luginbuhl, and freshman'Larry Marshall. Whenever a team rebounds from a shellacking such as that handed the Pirates by Elida, the most important factor in the comeback is an excellent coaching job. Bluffton High School can always be proud of its coaches, Frank Osborne and joe Harris, and their 1958 championship football team. North Baltimore 22-6 - Playing in the Bluffton football prevue, the Pirates presented their 1958 team with a 22 -6 victory. They gave a good pre- view of things to come by racking up 22 points, in the brief time allotted them. Lafayette 42 - 7 - Bluffton continued its devastating attack against Lafayette's Wolves and turned a game that was supposed to be close into rout. Wfith a MR. ROBERT EWING, Faculty Manager 30-7 lead at halftime, Coach Osborne used the sec- ond half mainly for experimentation. Ada 23 - 24 - The Ada Bulldogs handed the Pirates their first defeat in a thrilling battle. Actually the excitement came in the last five minutes when the Pirates came alive against their arch-rivals and scored 16 points. But Ada withstood the Pirate challenge and ran out the few minutes left on the clock to preserve their win. Elida 12 -46 - Elida's charged-up Bulldogs caught the Pirates on an off night with a 46-12 victory. The highly touted Pirate offense was held to 12 points, and their respected defense was torn to sham- bles as Elida gained 403 yards rushing.

W f 1 sm. Get that tip, Chuck! uick lim pse O The Pirates introduced their 1958- 59 varsity basketball team in a Basketball Preview at Delphos jefferson.

The Pirates opened their regular season at Kalida dropping a 64-49 decision to the Wildcats from Put- nam County. Ramon Lewis led Pirate scorers with 21 points and Larry Smucker hit 11. Ramon Lewis scored 30 points against Shawnee, but the nine other Bluffton participants could muster only 13, counters as the Pirates lost their second contest 58-43. Elida's defensive-minded Bulldogs nipped the Cut- lassmen 40-35 in a close battle. George Burkholder garnered 15 markers and Lewis had 12. Bluffton continued their losing ways as Delphos- jefferson fought off a last minute surge by the Buc- caneers to win 61-55. Lewis notched 16 and Dale Schiffke 14 to lead the Pirate attack. Playing in Spencerville's small gymnasium the Corsairs shot consistently and missed consistently as they were handed their fifth straight loss by Spencervilles Wildcats 65 - 58. Lewis meshed 24 and Burkholder and Dave Little each hit 10. Coach Hartis's basketeers celebrated the Christmas vacation by winning their first game of the season.

The Pirates won the 1958 Holiday Tournament with a thrilling 50-42' victory over Cory-Rawson. Lewis gathered 22 as he continued to lead the Pirate scoring.

Schiffke tallied 18 points and Lewis counted 17 for Bluffton.

Lewis achieved Bluffton's all time record which he had set just four days before as he pumped in 41 points. Little was second high with 12. Bluffton's 1958-59 season ended rather abruptly in the Allen County Tournament. Lafayette's Bob Harter threw a tight defense against the Pirates and held them to 39 points, 15 of them belonging to Ramon Lewis, while Lafayette tallied 52. Although the Pirate record of 8 - 10 was not very impressive, the 1958- 1959 season was a very eventful one which provided Pirate fans with many thrills. The players acquired valuable experience which should help the next year since Ramon Lewis, Dave Little, and Larry Smucker are the only players lost through graduation. At this time the Buccaneer staff would like to congratulate Coach Joe Harris for the fine record he has established in the last 7? years and also salute him for the patient manner in which he directed the unpredictable team of 1958-1959.
