EDUCATION: Still the SchooVs Major Task The courses of study at Bluffton High were chosen to give a student a sound basis for either continuing his formal education or completing it at graduation. They offer a combination of technical training and liberal education to prepare the student more completely for living. As the Wabash River is the product of all its tributaries, so an education is composed of the sum of all one ' s academic and technical activities. Becky Bibersline. Mike Schwartz, and Mr. Knight examine the newest addition to their biology class. BHS students utilize their study periods lO good advantage. The library and class rooms, during periods when they are not occupied bv classes, serve as studv halls.
