Senior Jristor, ¥ In September 1946, one hundred and three members of the class of 1950 stood nervous¬ ly outside the doors of Bluffton High School waiting for the bell to ring. We were “those little freshmen” and, as anyone will admit, we were scared and felt extremely out of place in the mass of students that made up our high school. Our class was organized that same month when we elected Gene Gilliom, class presi¬ dent; Stan Nash, vice-president; Pat Petty¬ john, secretary; Gerry Worthman, treasurer; and Dick French, athletic council member. We held both of our class parties at the State Forest where we found that our class mem¬ bers were good at entertaining as well as at consuming food. Our “wise” class was ready to begin an¬ other successful year and many of us found that membership in Y-Teens and Hi-Y was worth the embarrassment that the infor¬ mal initiations gave us. Our first class party was a carry-in supper at the State Forest which was complete with a mock wedding and “dizzy” dedications. Along with warm weather came the end of school and our picnic dinner which climaxed our second year of high school. September 3, 1948 found us beginning the third lap of our journey through high school and we were proud to be known as upper classmen. Fund-rais¬ ing was a major project that year and the profits from our fall carnival party and from the sale of Tasty Jell made our bank account expand. December the third was our day as far as we juniors were concerned and we never tired of showing our class rings and listen¬ ing to the “oh’s” and “ah’s” of every¬ one who looked at them. In March Off for a gay time of sleigh riding are (right to left) Kent Speheger, vice-president; Madlyn Van Emon, treasurer; Bruce Sheets, athletic council; Gerry Worthman, secretary; and Jerry D. Miller, president. we learned that it paid to be different, es¬ pecially after our Charlie Chan mystery, “The House without a Key,” was a huge suc¬ cess. In the spring the whole class pitched in to give the seniors an unforgettable re¬ ception, an d with our rustic, Forty Niner’s theme, we believed we succeeded. As Seniors we were energetic and at once began to bear our resonsibilities as wiser, more mature students. Our class play, “Anne of Green Gables” was a drama that was well received by the audience, and this play man¬ aged to more than fulfill its purpose of help¬ ing to replenish our depleted treasury. Soon after we began ordering commencement an¬ nouncements and name cards, and then, be¬ fore we realized it, it was time for Kid Day and the reception which was strictly for us. With Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Com¬ mencement, we realized that our high school life was finished. We experienced both joy and sorrow at this time: sorrow, because we must part from our school and its pleasant associations; joy, because we have reached this goal. As we go forth into new paths of life, we feel extremely proud of our school and shall strive to carry on the task for which it has prepared us.
