F... 755 e P. A. ALLEN, SUPERINTENDENT EMERITUS In 1881 Professor Allen became su- perintendent of the Bluffton Public Schools and organized the Bluffton High School, presenting its first stu- dents for graduation in 1883. How- ever he resigned his superintendency in 1891 in favor of editing the Bluffton Banner. From 1905 to 1907 he was in charge of the Bluffton Business College, but returned to the public schools in 1907 as superintendent. This position he held until 1926 when, at his own request, he was transferred to the office of assistant superinten- dent, a position which he still holds. SUPERINTENDENT LYLE R. WILLEY Mr. Willey obtained his bachelor of science degree from Purdue University in 1920.

It would be very difficult to find a group of men equally understanding and cooperative with a stu- dent body. In social, athletic, as well as academic activities, they have secured for us many unusual privileges. For all this we express our ap- preciation. Mr. Ullman, president of the board, is president of the Red Cross Manufacturing Co. Mr. Kunkel, the secretary of the board, is the publisher of the Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette and a member of the Indiana University Board of Directors. Mr. Baker, treasurer of the board, is the local Interna- tional Implernent dealer. 8
