K C oo id lgeola Y X en ior Only a little while ago We were kidding about graduation and were glad it was al- most overg now I think we're all a little sad. It was at graduation that our spirits sank when they handed us diplomas and we gave up all rights to high-school fun like kid day, class plays, after-school sodas. and beat-up cars running over with kids. We turned in saddles and jalopies that night for a new look, the look designed especially for young American men and womeng and we were pro- nounced grown up. In the last four years we worked together and had fun together and-my, how we've grown! It doesn't seem long ago that we were Freshmen and all eyes and ears, hands and feet, punctuated by fits of giggling. The first few high-school days we blundered through could easily have passed for cen- turies. It took so much remembering to Howard Adams Red General Course.

Senior Class Officers Taking time out from the activity within the four brick walls are our Senior class officers: Doris Miller, secretaryg Martha Heller, treasurerg Jack Scharlach, athletic councilg Bob Karch, Presidentg Jim Knoble, vice-president. Mziforg work locker combinations and bring rental fees and find the proper room for each class, and those assignments-ouch! Being Freshmen, there wasnlt much to do in the way of outside activitiesg but everything was so new that just being a part of high school was an adventure. We had a class party, and did we ever feel important, making out lists of food and entertainment for it. In the manner of true greenies,', everyone had a riotous time and we all agreed that having a potluck was a brilliant move-what a menu that was! Yes, as Frosh our first taste of high school was good. Most authorities on the subject of high- school Sophomores will say that they are generally a bored lot, for whom the novelty of high school has worn off and the big moments are yet to come.

September 3 To teach us to be safe through actual experi- ence, the school safety department received a dual- control car for use in instructing young drivers in basic driving practice. September 4 Tigers scrimmage for the first game-Everybody looks at the birdie as Sands yells Hey! I've got the ball. September 9 We recaptured the t'Centennial Football Trophy from Portland with a score of 6-12. September 23 Hurry! Hurry!-Step right up! Street fair opens with all its brilliance and confusion. October 7 Informal Initiation of Y-Teen girls. The sopho- more boys think their lassies look Hmighty 'culiarf' October 17 Complete with king, queen, prizes and all, we gave the Freshman a warm and welcome dance, even if late. October 24-25 A mixed group of music students participated in the District Chorus under the direction of Noble Cain, at the annual Teacher's Convention in Ft. Wayne. October 28 The '48 Retro staff was given new impetus today when news came that the '47 Yearbook had been awarded an All-American rating. November 7 Seniors don Wig and Mask in uLove Your Neighbor!! An over-capacity house-a riotous play-and a superb cast. November 14 The decorations in the gym for the first basket- ball game were morale builders, but the Tigers found the Portland Panthers too powerful. November 21 That sudden flash of blinding light was just one of the Junior Class rings! November 30 Neil Harris made the head-lines when he was elected District President of the Hi-Y Club. December 11 Carolyn Warner, Don Rudy, Pat Bickers, Kay Brown, and Lou Boltin, members of the Senior English Class, went to Fort Wayne to be guests of the Journal Gazette and speak over Station WKJG. December 23 'LTwas the night before the night before Christ- mas -School was dismissed. January 1 The New Year's Blind Tourney was held here despite the sleet and ice, and the Tigers found the ball as slippery as the roads. January 2 The Senior Class held a potluck supper at the Community Building. We began to realize that there will not be many more of these occasions. January 9 The Y-Teen Girls held their annual Best Beau Banquet. The girls won out at Churchill Downs , but then the odds were against the fellows-it's Leap Year!!! January 22 In a tense atmosphere the thirteen new mem- bers took the solemn vows of the National Honor Society. February 15 An inovation-The concert band of the High School assisted by the Tonette groups of the grade schools presented a Winter Concert at the Com- munity Building. February 28 Sectional Tourney- When the one great scorer comes to write against your name, He writes not that you won or lost. but how you played the game. March 2 A delicious meal and a candlelight ceremony highlighted the initiation of the four new mem- bers of Quill and Scroll. March 19 The Class of '49 may not be hill-billies, but they can certainly convince us. The Campbells Are Coming was the uproarious comedy in which the Juniors displayed their back-woods talent and proved themselves natural Thespians. March 19 Added to the thrill of a class play were nu- merous farewell parties held in civics and eco- nomics classes when we said goodbye to our coach, Bob Dro. March 26 The schools were closed so that we might attend the Good Friday services held at the Presbyterian Church. April 2 The Music Department of the City Schools li- vened the coming of Spring with a Music Festival, 1 uniquely combined concert. April 30 c Hi-Y boys acted against the Leap Year customs and invited their Best Gals to another gay and enjoyable spring banquet. May 7 The Y-Teens entertained their mothers at the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet with an un- usual program. May 10 The annual Athletic Picnic was held at the State Forest and B.H.S.'s athletes proudly received their awards. May 14 This morning we Seniors all became just kids and with our lollipops and baby dolls. we signed Retros, entertained some bewildered onlookers, fellow school mates, the faculty, and ourselves. May 14 - Turn about is fair play. This year the Seniors leisurely looked on while the Juniors did the worrying for the Reception. May 16 As Rev. J. Ullman Miller delivered an in- spiring Baccalaureate sermon, we realized that we must turn our thoughts to the more serious side of the life which lies ahead. May 18 After four years of hard work, time, and effort. we received our well-earned awards. We pic- tured oursclves in the future and willed our few precious belongings to the undcrclassmen.

As the deadline drew closer, Lou Boltin, our Editor- in-Chief, ably assisted by Pat Bickers, her As- sociate Editor, looked to our adviser, Miss Karns, and our representative from the engraving com- pany, Mr. Montague, for the solutions of our problems. Literary Editor Jane Mallers, and her assistants saw to it that the write-ups were full of snap and legible enough for our four efficient typists, Margaret Beason, Delutha Moser, Marie Murray, and Jane Bradburn. Our Feature Editors, Joan Moser and Lorella Anderson, gathered the facts about the Seniors. Keeping track of the im- portant events which took place this year were Betty Neff and Nancy Ellenberger, while Bob Karch and Bob Sands informed us of the happen- ings in the Hsports world. In charge of taking orders for pictures and trying to distribute the Retrospects among the students, along with the other business problems were Gene Meyer, Busi- ness Manager, and Martha Heller, Assistant Business Manager. Our Art Editors, Joan Schu- macher and Dick Gleim, added their approval to our book. Through long hours of hard work we have attempted to show to you that our school is more than just four brick walls. I C l Stting: Gene Meyer. J 'Nlalle s M rtha Heller.

Similar in its aims to the student council, its ob- jective is to promote cooperation, understanding and an attitude of sportsmanship among high school students and administrators by means of the printed news and views found in its columns. This student project not only records the ever- changing scenes inside our four brick walls, but also provides an experimental lab for young writ- ers. The paper is a testing ground for both the students' skill as journalists and as eiiicient, co- operative workers. This year's student staff was topped by Editor- in-Chief, Mary Avolyn Culver, and head assistant Marilyn Park. Sparkling feature material was provided by editors Peg Campbell and Susanne Markley, and news by the factual Jim Schultz. Standing: Ge-riy Worthman, Joyce Buckner.

To become a mem- ber of Quill and Scroll is a goal that every journalistic student wishes to attain. Our chapter, small as it may be, strives to live by the Code of Ethics which has been set up by the founders of Quill and Scroll. They are to: l. Strive ever for the best, ever keeping your goal in life in mind. 2. Uphold and cherish the ideals of Jour- nalism. . . Be true to yourself and to your writing. 4. Learn to cooperate and to respect your co-workers' and advisers' opinions. 5. Strive to keep in mind the meaning of Quill and Scroll. 6. Train yourself to appreciate the beauty in things of everyday life and to apply this appreciation to your work. 3 The International Honorary Society for high-school journalists was founded in 1926 for the purpose of encouraging and reward- ing individual achievement in journalism 38 Mary Avolyn Culver, Pat Bickers, Gene Meyer, Jane Mallers, Lou Boltin. and allied fields. To become a member of Quill and Scroll the journalists must meet certain requirements. They must be in the upper-third of their class in scholastic stand- ing, they must be of at least Junior standingg they must be recommended by the adviser and must have done superior work in some phase of journalism. Following a delicious meal at the home of Jane Mallers, a beautiful and impressive candlelight initiatory service was held, at which time the new members repeated the obligations that stand for Truth, Loyalty, En- lightenment, Opportunity, Initiative, Lead- ership, and Friendship. Miss Karns, the adviser, then presented the new members with their pins and briefly related to them the history and purpose of Quill and Scroll. The journalists chosen from the Retrospect staif were Lou Boltin, editor, Pat Bickers, associate editorg Jane Mallers, literary editor, and Gene Meyer, business manager. The new member from the Comet staff was Mary Avolyn Culver, editor.

As students hurried to the gymnasium, an atmosphere of eager excitement hovered over them. This was the great moment- yes, this was the day so anxiously awaited! Silence fell over the student body as the familiar wine-colored curtains were drawn back to reveal last year's members of the National Honor Society. In the center of the stage stood a speaker's stand on which was displayed a white card bearing a golden key- stone and a flaming torch-the symbols of the society. After Don Rudy, president of the club, welcomed the students to the program, Pat Bickers read the names of the newly elected members. Students watched attentively as Joyce Baker, Kay Brown, Martha Heller, Robert Karch, Jane Mallers, Joan Moser, Mary Lou McFarren, Carolyn Warner, Ronald Ulmer, Susanne Markley, Marilyn Park, Betty Thoma, and Elizabeth Witzeman were called to the stage. The electees forgot their nervousness as they listened to Gene Meyer read the con- stitution of the club. He explained that five per cent of the Juniors and ten per cent of the Seniors are chosen for membership from the upper third of their classes by a vote of the faculty. To be elected to the National Honor So- ciety is one of the highest honors that can be received by a student, in that he must be outstanding in character, scholarship, leader- ship, and service. These four objectives were explained to the new members by Jane Bradburn, who informed them of the so- ciety's motto I would rather have honor than honors. Pledges were taken and pins were award- ed. As the curtains closed, enthusiastic ap- plause was given by friends and classmates. The thrilling moment had come and gone, and the organization was ready for another year under the excellent supervision of Miss Margaret Powers, sponsor of the club. After the new members were inducted, a meeting was held and the society elected ofhcers for the remainder of the school year. The newly elected officers were Carolyn Warner, presidemg Betty Thoma, vice-presi- dent, and Susanne Markley, secretary and treasurer. 39 lf, , Ove our Weiglzgor lvingy Vashki Dora Vashki Flora Vashki Emil Vashki Anna Vashki Biddy Grady Mrs, Jones - Tessy Vashki Luke 'Watson Bill Roberts - - Joyce Baker A Lou Fritz Ronald Ulmer - Pat Bickers Janet Lamson - Lou Boltin Carolyn VVarncr Bob Ellenberger Oswald Fredrick f- Don Rudy Johnny Jones - Harold Neff Mrs. Fredrick - - Jane Mallers Mrs. Bixby - - Betty Neff Maxey - - Lloyd Dunwiddie Judge Patrick - Bob Claghorn Percival Ping - - lvlax Fetters Grandma Vashki - Kay Brown Sarabelle - - Jo Ann Baird Zuvabelle - Mary Lou McFarren Dixie Jones - - Joan Moser Promptersl Martha Heller Joan Schumacher Little groups of anxious faces peered undetected from behind the stage props, evidently waiting for something to happen. The first-act business of Love Your Neighbor was moving along smoothly as they watched and waited, until it finally happened. Sud- denly and reassuringly came the first outburst of audience approval, the first laugh, and Worried lines on the backstage faces disappeared as the actors smiled with the laughing ones out front, satisfied that this student production was on its Way to suc- cess. The friendly, if confused, horniness of this Senior play afforded a contrast to our junior presentation. The laughable, lovable antics of such unforgettable characters as Biddy Brady, the Vashkis, and Zeke, the garbage man, spelled certain success for our final curtain call. When the applause had ended, We rub- bed oii grease paint, knowing that our high-school footlight thrills were finished, and we had only the applause to remember. Jw With Clean Speech, Clean Living, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Sports as our stand- ards, the Hi-Y club experienced a success- ful year with Gene Meyer, presidentg Bob Karch, vice-president, David Huffman, treas- urer, Dick Gleim, Secretary and Jerry Mark- ley, Sergeant-at-Arms. The calendar included a swim party, gym sessions, various interesting speakers and a masquerade party. One meeting was spent in organizing a Hi-Y club at Lancaster Cen- tral high school. The Older Boys Conference, held at India- napolis, Was represented by six boys, who prospered by the program. The 4th District Hi-Y Conference. of which Neil Harris is president, was held April 3. at the First Baptist Church. The chorus sang several selections and the address was given by Mr. Denio. the associate state secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The efforts of the members were focused on the annual Best-Girl Banquet held on April 30. at the beautifully decorated Baptist Church. One evening in November, a group of boys attired in white coats and black bow ties made their first appearance as the newly organized Hi-Y chorus. The chorus met with immedi- ate success under the direction of Mrs. Grim- sley and presented many entertaining pro- grams. They added their masculine voices to the ttSpring Festival and actually proved they were HStout Hearted Men. wr -- ITN-i-Q Dnuv' lin:-A Nffn Entertainment at the expense of the pro- spective Y-Teens in the gymnasium resulted in tangled hair, embarrassed smiles, arms loaded with Senior books, and was climaxed by a candle-light service. Since this initia- tion on October 6, we have accomplished much under the leadership of Kay Brown. president, Sally Foster, vice-president, Pat Miller, secretary, and Susanne Markley, treasurer. On alternate Monday evenings We enjoyed such activities and entertainment as packing QQFL boxes for CAREQ laughing at The Old Time Minstrel Show, preceded by a pot-luck sup- perg listening to the Hi-Y chorus: and listen- ing to Marcus Leyo. a young Chinese student. We invited our special bcaus to the Camp- town Races, our theme for the Best Fellow Banquet. Our Mother-Daughter Tea was held on May 7, at which the officers for the coming year were initiated.

Sglucfenf Counci Among the activities Within our four brick walls is the Student Council, reorganized three years ago. Under the guidance of Mr. Park, it is composed of a student from each home room, the president of Hi-Y, Y-Teen, National Honor Society, Girls Ath- letic Association, editors of the Retrospect and of the Comet, and the four class presi- dents. It is this councils purpose to repre- sent the student body, to sponsor worth- while projects, to create in the school a feeling of co-operation between faculty and students, and to foster good citizenship in our school. To increase the student body's enthusiasm for a sportsmanlike attitude and to Welcome the boosters of the visiting basketball teams, the members of the Student Council accom- plished their project of decorating the gym- nasium with banners carrying the colors of the opposing schools. The officers for the current year were Don Rudy, president, and Betty Thoma, secretary. 4-.Ll Juclging eam The Judging Team, a part of the course in vocational agriculture, under Mr. Wentz really obtain practical benefits outside of our four brick walls. The members of this team spend much time in the fields raising vegeta- bles and other crops and learning how to correctly judge the qualities which are need- ed for high-grade crops. To test their skill they attended the 4-H roundup held last June at Purdue, where they judged hay, hybrid seed corn, soybeans, wheat, legume seed, and oats. At this roundup composed of three hundred and ten entrants, George Schlagenhauf placed first, and the team placed eleventh out of the eighty-six teams entered. Other members of the team entered the State Fair vegetable judging contest and attended another vegetable contest held at Purdue in November, where they received honors for their expert judging. The members of the team showed their loyalty to the cause by attending extra eve- ning sessions last summer to practice judg- ing. Our school is proud of the 4-H judging team and we hope they will keep up the high standing they have achieved during the past year. First Row: Duayne Cobbum.

Marching Band, splendidly bedecked in their flashy Black and Crimson uniforms. From the goal posts of Wilson Field to the hardwood of the Community Building and from the first game of the season to the last, our band is always ready to provide a peppy half-time. Under the direction of Mr. Schnar with the assistance of drum majorette, Joyce Felts, the band skillfully maneuvered through various selections and formations. Toward the close of the basketball season four grade students, Joyce Fetters, Dianne Brickley, Joan Stogdill, and Jean Ann Munson, attired in white uniforms trimmed in red, marched in the ranks and twirled batons. Of course you remember the novelty for- mations such as the Grandfather's Clock, 46 the Star, an Umbrella, a Heart, and a Christ- mas Tree with merry St. Nick fBob Ellen- bergerb prancing around to the tune of Jingle Bells. Great excitement was caused when the letters of the visiting schools were formed and their school songs were playedg then amid squeals from the cheering section the band members swung into a huge B and played Black and Crimson with all their vim and vigor. In early February the band was arranged in concert band formation in the Community Building to present for the first time a Winter Concert. We joined with the Glee Clubs and Junior Band in presenting the Spring Festival, and on the next morning, April 3rd, fifty-one students at Hartford City, participated in the District Band Contest. A superior rating was received, and the 'inifty fiftyv took part in the State Contest held at North Manchester on April 10.

Bill was a hard driver who could pick up the yardage when it really counted. Bob Sands-Bob, a Senior, put the shot in track and as a fullback in football moved like a truck. Bob's size and speed coupled to make him hard to stop. Curtis Sprunger-Curt, a Junior, showed us his ability to hold that line as an immovable guard. Sherman Steffen-Sherm, a Junior, played guard on the varsity football team. He was one of those boys who would be in there digging the hardest when the going was the toughest. Dick Stram-Dick, a Junior, who was a speedy, lanky relayer, won his letter in track. Bob Swartz-Bob, a Senior letterman, played guard in basketball, halfback in football, and ran the dashes in track, Bob, with his speed and determination, was an asset to every team. Ronald Ulmer-Ronnie, a Senior, was the center on the basketball team and played tackle in football. His size made him hard to budge, the opposition could neither hold nor go through him.

Coach Bob Dro, the Tiger mentor, realizing that the team would lack the needed height, drilled the Tigers on the fast break style of offense. The lack of the reserves was a serious handicap to the Tigers, but even worse were the injuries that seemed to be constantly present. The season was not a good one, but the boys showed that the game was not over until the final gun.

Joe becomes the rookie member of the B. H. S. coaching staff. Smitty capped a fine career of four years varsity football at Rich- land High School and three years varsity football at Manchester Col- lege by being picked on the all- state team. Joe is a likeable fellow with a friendly personality. Bob Dro If you have wondered who the dark. handsome gentleman is who has been seen frequently in the halls of B. H. S. for the last year. we can relieve your mind: for he is the head basketball and baseball coach. Because of Bob's convincing personality and superior experience. Bluffton High was proud to have him as a coach. VVhen Bob joined the staff at I. U., his loss was deeply felt by everyone at B. H. S. Lots of luck. Bob! Dr. C. J. Blackman Whether it is a sprained ankle. dislocated bone. or just a bad case of low spirits, we always find Dr. C. J. Blackman, better known as Doc . on the job. For twenty-nine years he has been the trainer for B. H. S. and our most ardent sup- porter. f'Doc is the grand old man of Bluffton athletics. Hubert Dubois Around the school you see a tower- ing figure, it happens to be the head football and track coach. His friend- ly smile and wavy blond hair seem to greet you. not only on the field but in his classes and on the street. Coach Dubois' determination to win and his desire for strict training in- sure him of success as a leader in athletic competition. L. E. Templin Temp. as Athletic Director of B. H, S.. is in charge of intramural basketball: his chief duty, however. was to see that all the athletic ac- tivities go off according to schedule. Temps sincere attitude and friendly advice have kept him popular with the students of Allen High. MANAGERS With the addition of new football helmets. new baseball suits, and new basketball suits. the lot of the man- agers became even more involved. Dave Park, Tom Cobb, Jim Harvey. Bill Blair, and Wendell Mertz. our athletic managers, proved them- selves more than capable. YELL LEADERS Dashing onto the fioor ahead of the team. our four yell leaders, clad in their new black and crimson uni- forms, led our B. H. S. boosters in the first stanza of the school song. With the expert leadership of Gerry Worthman, Marilyn Park, Carolyn Teeple, and Pat Pettyjohn. our cheering section has been successful in keeping up the fighting spirit of the Tigers. Zac Working hard through the wet and cold season of 1947 the Tig- ers managed to win only two of their meets, although they lost most of them by a slight margin. Working hard with his speed- sters was Coach Dubois. He had great hopes for the Tigers, but sickness and foul Weather damp- ened his outlook.

The Cubs were coached by Joe Smith who had them Working hard. This paid off with some Fine victories. Quite a few of the B-team boys played varsity at some time this year, giving a preview of what should be a good season next year for everyone to look forward to. 60 .9I'lfI CLIflfllfLl Cl, If The band was not there to play and the gym was not packed, but these facts made little difference to the eight intramural teams who battled for the intramural cham- pionship.

Now this organization had a hard time getting started. but at present you should see it in action. Being a member of the Girls' Athletic As- sociation means not only that we participate in numerous sports ttumbling, volleyball, basketball, softball, and folk dancingj, but we learn and practice good sportsmanshipg we gain confidence and enthusiasm, we strengthen our bodies, and most of all we have fun! In order to become a member of G. A. A., we must earn fifty points. After that there are many goals to attain. By earning one hundred points ine receive a wing-foot, for one hundred fifty points we are given a minor B : for two hundred fifty points we are presented with a major B g and for three hundred fifty points we are eligible to enter the state test for the G. A. A. State Plaque. Many girls have earned their letters this year. Awards of major B's were presented to Mary Avolyn Culver and Marilyn Markley, while minor 'tB's were given to Joyce T. Buckner, Joan Edris, Joyce Felts, Susie King, Gerry Mounsey. Joan Moser, Shirley Reed, Betty Sprunger, Carolyn Sliger, Marilyn Schrieber, and Evelyn Stoller. Wing-foots were awarded to Marilyn Maddux, Gloria Miller, Mary Jo Lounsbury, and Shirley Camp. The initiation party for the Freshmen was held on the night of January 12. That eve- ning we girls enjoyed a pot-luck supper, entertainment, and also watched the initiates wash the dishes. On April 3, one representative from each class. our president, and Miss Thees went to Volleyball Play Day, which was held at Ball State. We owe our success to Miss Thees, our untiring sponsor, and her capable officers: Joan Moser, president, Evelyn Stoller. vice- presidentg Betty Sprunger, treasurerg and Susanne Markley, secretary, fe.
