H H SS-r SjL. Almd Mater, We Salute You! Our High School Home Since nineteen hundred twenty-four, Scene of varied activities, Through whose portals many have come. Here we have seen visions. Here we have dreamed dreams, Yea, even dav dreams. Keen rivalries have spurred us on, Victories have been won, Defeats have been borne with courage. Romance has flowered, Discipline has been dispensed. Friendships lasting and true were formed. These halls abound in memories and traditions. We ha ' e learned to labor patiently, We have grown in understanding. Sorrow may have visited us, But joy is 0111 ' usual ijortion. Here we have learned of life. I. Administration II. Classes III.

Four Eventful Years Four eventful years ago in September, 1934, we, the Seniors of 1938, attained the ninth link in our chain of education. Several of our members took their leave to continue in other schools, but our ranks have been replaced each year with new students. Until this time, we had been pupils of the grades, but now we were at last high school students. Although our grade school days had been happy ones, we now were to experience our best times since we had entered upon our quest for education. Those of our ranks who carried us through the year were Emerson Schlotzhauer (Pres.), Bette Wibel ( Vice-Pres.) , Edith Hayes (Treas. ). Jr. Lockwood ( Sec ' y. ) , and Richard Neff (Athletic Board). We, the so-called green Freshmen, were piloted by Miss Welthy A. Shively, Miss Margaret Powers and Mr. E. R. McNown. During this time, we celebrated our flighty freshmen year with a party at the old Cherry Street Gym, where we enjoyed refreshments and a thrilling time for all. In 1935 we again took another step forward when we reached the tenth link of our chain. This was to us even more interesting than the preceding link, perhaps because we had left behind the green Fresh- men of ' 34; however, we were still looked down upon by upper classmen, even though we had passed into the stage of the soft Sophomore. We had at the head of our group Emerson Schlotzhauer (Pres.), Bob McFarren (Vice-Pres.), Edith Hayes (Treas.), Valera Mock (Sec ' y.) and Bob Sawyer (Athletic Board). Thi.s was one of our big years, and we celebrated it with two smashing parties — one in the Cherry Street Gym and the other, a weiner and marshmallow roast, at Harriet Johnson ' s. We also sponsored a show, The Prisoner of Shark Lsland, which was quite a financial success. September of 1936 brought about quite a change in our high school lives. We no longer could be looked down upon, because we, the Juniors, were now upper classmen and enjoyed the privilege of look- ing down upon the green Freshmen and the soft Sophomores. But we still were the mere shadows of the mighty Seniors, our dignified elders. However, even the Seniors had to admit we had acting ability in our class when we presented our class play, Go Ahead ; and they also had to give us credit for a very entertaining Junior-Senior Reception. We were led through this eventful year by Emerson Schlotzhauer (Pre.s.), Bob Sawyer (Vice-Pres.;, Maro Bradburn ( Treas.) , Valera Mock (Sec ' y.) and Kenneth Marshall f Athletic Board). Now, we the dignified Seniors, have reached the twelfth link of our chain and are about to bring to a clo.se our happy high .school days. We have leading us, Emerson Schlotzhauer (Pres.), Jack McCray fVice-Pres.), Marj- Geels (Treas.), Bob McFarren (Sec ' y.) and Bill Edington (Athletic Board). We are proud of our class for their achievements. In a short story contest, sponsored by the Psi Iota Xi Sorority for Senior girls, prizes were awarded to Rosalyne Heller (First), Maro Bradburn (Second) and Mildred Pursley (Third). On February 10 the Snow Fe.stival, the first of its kind, was held in honor of the Senior cla-ss. Maro Bradburn was cho.sen as Queen to rule over the fe.stivities that were a part of the program. She was at- tended by fourteen other girls of the Senior class, having an average of 90% or above for their four years. Our Senior Class Play, Button Button, directed by Mr. McNown, was presented on March 17. Now, before leaving, it is only proper that we express our gratitude for the help and the guidance we have received from our teachers; and it is our hope and aspiration that we can go on achieving and helping others because of the .start that they have given us in our lives.

J oily Juni ors Advancing in the realms of tiu ' ii- odui-ation is the .lunior Class. At the first of the vear class elections were held. Bill Fryback was victorious in campaign for the presidency. He was assisted by Bill Starr, ' ice-President. Ruthanna Knotr was in charge of the money, and Lois Shepherd kept the class records. Bob Barnthouse was elected to the Athletic Council. The class rings, which were chosen by a committee, have the R crest and were selected from a choice of ruby, mother of pearl, onyx, or solid gold. On November 11. the .hiniors presented their play, Little Miss Fortune. Much unknown dramatic ability was revealed. This class contributed several valuable athletes in both basketball and foot- ball. Kinsey. Tonner, Hixon, and Biberstine are worthy of mention. To lighten the burdens of school, a farm party was held at the Biberstine home. A scavenger hunt was one of the outstanding events of the evening. On May 20, a delightful reception was given at the new gym by the Juniors in honor of the departing Seniors.

Much of the humor was furnished by Marjorie Grim as Lily Henshaw, a fourteen-year-old gossip, and Kenny Reineck as William, Kitty ' s si. teen-year-o!d brother. Jerome Patrick, Roger Sawyer, sold Kitty ' s Kisses at his local store. Everyone expected Kitty to marry Jerome but because of ideas of wealth and social position, he shifted his affections to wealthy Augusta Smythe, played by Georgia Burgan.

J - --. - ' ' - . ' Ot . 7 ' X Row One: Martin Tonner — Junior — A newcomer who was known for his fancy shots. He will be back next year for a similar performance. Laurel Kinsey — Junior — A guard, noted for his dribbling and scoring ability, who .still has another year in which to show his speed and ability. Ralph Shield.s — Junior — A back guard, known for his shooting ability. He will be back next year to show his stuff. Row Two: Bob Garrett — Junior — A newcomer to the varsity. He is small but full of scrap and pep, and will undoubtedly be a great asset to the team ne.xt year. Joe Biberstine — Junior — A great defensive back guard who could sink a long one fretiuently. He should be very outstanding for B. H. S. next year. Bill Hixon — Junior — A newcomer at forward this year who is noted for his left-handed hook shots. Bill ' s presence next year should be a great asset to the team. Row One : Isaac Fishbaugh — Senior — Captain and center, noted for his ability on set shots and rebound under the basket. Hank was always there to do his part in winning the game. Bob McFarren — Senior — An outstanding dribbler, who jiroved his worth at the guard position in many a Tiger fracas. Bill Fryback — Junior — A large center whose height will be greatly ajiprec. - ated on the team ne.xt year. Row Two: Richard NefF — Senior — A center, who was ever ready to do his share in winning the ball game. Adrian Sprunger — Senioi- — When ininch or i)eii was needed in the ball game, he was always there. Richard Willey — Junior — A guai-d. known for his fighting ability. He will be back ne.xt year. Tigers Reach Regional The Blurt ton basketball eampaijrn opened this year without much antieipation for a very successful conquest. This idea was chanired when the local quintet downed such o)i|ionents as Kendallville, Garret and Burris of Muncie. The fans realized that this team, although not very larjre in comparison to several of the opposinjr teams, was one of the scrajipiest and fastest teams that Blutfton High School has had for some time. Of the 28 games played, the Tigers came out victorious in 17 and tied 1 in a double overtime with Garrett. They upset all sectional dope buckets by defeat- ing the powerful Ossian Bears, in a last minute thriller, in which Tonner dropped in a free throw to give the Tigers the right to meet Ridgeville in the Regional tourney at Fort Wayne. Here they were defeated in the same manner they had defeated Ossian. when Cope, star forward for the opponents, made a foul jDitch to win the game. Of the first 12 on this squad but four will be lost by graduation this year. This loss will probably be noticed, but with eight experienced men left on the squad. Coach Templin should have a very good team next year.

This team ]iromises some very good varsity material for ne.xt year, as five of these boys were only Sophomores and the rest were Juniors. The boys were not very tall, but what they lacked in height they made up in speed and ability. A good second team is very essential for a good varsity team, for they kee]) the varsity boys in shajie by practicing against them every night. Intrdmural Basketball Arouses Keen Rivalry Intramural was a g reat success again this year, under the supervision of Fred Park. A greater number of boys participated than ever before. The games were played every Tuesday evening at the Central gym. Any boys (except lettermen) were permitted to play. Referees, picked by Mr. Park, were ilr. ilcMasters and Bill Garrett. Cajitains of the eight teams were Jlarion Bari-inger, Harold Betz, Max Hauk. Bob Case, Jim Xeff, Bill Edington, Junior Lockwood and Jack McCray. The championship was won by Jim Neff and his Boilermakers with thirteen victories and onlv one defeat. LEAGUE STANDINGS Won 1. Boilermakers 13 2. Red Ramblers 10 3. Trojans 8 4. Gophers 7 5.

Gridsters Have Successful V ear This year the Bluffton Tigers had one of the most successful football teams that they have had in many years. Starting the season with but six lettermen, none of whom could be classed as regulars, the Temjilin-coached lads wound up as one of the toughest teams in the conference. After losing to Central of Fort Wayne 13 to and Warsaw 38 to 6 in the first two games of the season, the Tigers came back to overpower Decatur 13 to 0. This was the first time in six years that Bluffton had defeated them in football. With encouragement from the Decatur game the mighty Tigers next swamped Portland 26 to 0. Improving with each game the local lads held the strong Auburn team to a 6 to win and then chalked up a victory over Columbia City by the same score. Stepping out of their class, they fared far better than expected when they held the Elkhart eleven to a 27 to win. The Tigers had the ball on Elkhart ' s goal line several times but lacked the punch to score. Then, after battling the Decatur eleven to a 19 to 19 tie in the second meeting of the two teams this season, the Tigers rose to greater heights when they downed the Huntington N ' ikings by a 21 to 12 count to end the season with four wins, four defeats, and a tie. Of the above pictured lettermen. but seven. Schlotzhauer. JlcCray. Sprungcr. Harnish, Betz. Shelley and Neff, are Seniors. Of the remaining eleven, nine are Juniors, and two. Fritz and Neuhauser. are Sophomores, leaving a well balanced squad of exiierienced men around which to build the team of next season.

As seven lettermen were back from last year ' s squad, the coaches had plenty of material with which to build the team. The greatest handicap was the lack of reserve pitchers. The team was known for its fine fielding in both the infield and the outfield. This team was also known for its consistent batters. Many of the boys were small, but they had the necessary batting ability. The team played Warren, Ossian, Decatur. Huntington, Berne, Portland and Hartford City. Roo-er Richey, Everett Faulkner. William Edington. Much credit is due our athletic managers for their capable work. These boys Kept all athletic equipment in fine shape and looked after all the needs of the players. They often put more time toward athletics than the players did, as it was necessary for them to check in all suits after practices and to see that every- thing was in fine shape before leaving. Richey and Faulkner will be back ne.xt year to carry on their work without the aid of Edington who will be lost by graduation. :; i : Lawrence E.
