1 CHIEF EXECUTIVE Since 1937, Mr. Willey has been our chief ex¬ ecutive. He has more things to do and less time to do them in than anyone known. It is he who sells Bluffton High, and keeps the wheels of the educa¬ tional system oiled in order that it may run smoothly. In 1920, Mr. Willey received his bachelor of science degree, and in 1937, his master of science degree, both from Purdue University. He came to Bluffton in 1925 and taught agriculture in P. A. Allen High School until 1937, when he was appointed superintendent of the Bluffton Public School. Infinitely swift has been the flight of time, and as we, the class of 1940, look back, we can see that all the obstacles in our path could not have been surmounted without the aid and advice of Superin¬ tendent L. R. Willey. PRINCIPAL WILLEY CATHERINE RIX ERNESTINE BAUMGARTNER Secretary to Principal Secretary to Superintendent 11

MANAGERS HOWARD ULLMAN President WILLIAM KUNKEL, JR. Secretary WARE BAKER Treasurer Four short years ago we came under the jurisdiction of the Board of Education. The three men who compose this board of managers have constantly worked together to better our educational system so that when the students of P. A. Allen High grad¬ uate, they will be able to take their places in the world without flinching. Let it not be forgotten that without their guidance, without their aid, and with¬ out their sincere interest, we, the class of of 1940, would not have found the going so pleasant. Our school board is composed of well known citizens of Bluffton. Mr. Ullman, president of the board, is president of the Red Cross Manufacturing Co.; Mr. Kunkel, secretary of the board, is the publisher of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, and a mem¬ ber of the Indiana University Board of Directors; Mr. Baker, treasurer of the board, is the local International Implement dealer. 10
