I NG FOREWORD Few events have attracted as much attention or enthusiasm as the advances in the exploration of space. We have listened suspensefully in our study halls while Walter Shirra orbited the earth; we have discussed the space race in current events classes; and we have figured projectile paths in science classes. Because high school students have become so space conscious, we have taken our theme for Retrospect 1963 from space. Using the familiar astronomical signs of our times, we have made them symbols of the various phases of our school life. CONTENTS Our Launching Personnel .. 4 Our Four-Stage Rocket .... 10 What We See in Orbit .... 30 ■ 4 olj r Administration Faculty Other Personnel 5 EDWIN E. PRIBLE, Superintendent, A.B. Manchester, M.S. In¬ diana University. Mr. Prible has served Bluffton students in this position for seven years. Last year his job was ex¬ panded when he became responsible for the Bluffton-Harrison Metropolitan School System. BHS students realize his con¬ cern for our education, shown by his attendance in classes and at school functions. FRED F. PARK, Principal, A.B. Ball State Teachers College, M.S. Indiana University. Our principal takes a personal in¬ terest in each student and is always ready to give aid to those who need it. In his highly demanding position of leadership, his executive ability is obvious in the careful planning which makes all school functions—class work, social affairs, sports events, and convocation programs—move so smoothly. ADMINISTRATION . . . SCHOOL BOARD-DR. WILLIAM GITLIN, treasurer; CRAVEN EMSHWILLER, president; and CHARLES WETERICK, secretary. During the first full year of the new Bluffton-Harri¬ son Metropolitan School System, the school board has worked hard trying to adapt sug¬ gestions made by a professional survey team from Purdue University. Plans call for en¬ larging the physical facilities, providing a school lunch program, and adding strength to certain departments in the high school. These changes may present interesting new experi¬ ences to students already enrolled here. On March 23 the school and community were saddened by the death of Mr. Emshiller, president of the School Board. 6 FACULTY RALPH BROMAN—B.A. Ball State Teachers Col¬ lege; M.A. Indiana University . . .

SENIORS REACH ANTICIPATED GOAL The past four years have shown the work and energy characteristic of the class of 62 . The graduating class leaves BHS remembering the hours of homework, old friends, and the extra-curricular activities. The Senior class raised funds for their class treas¬ ury by holding candy sales, having dances and giv¬ ing class plays. The money was used for the Junior- Senior Reception, the Retrospect, and their gift to the school. Good organization and cooperation of every class member resulted in effective class play practices, sports victories, music honors, and well-attended school dances. The hours of work behind the scenes can never be counted. The Seniors will regret leaving BHS this spring, but new experiences in college and work will help them to become better members of the Space Age. 20 JUNIORS Hey, let me see your class ring! was the pleasing exclamation juniors heard as they returned to school and flashed their new rings. At the first convocation, seventeen juniors were honored for scholastic achieve¬ ment; in the spring, college-bound students took the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. To boost their treasury, the class held a candy sale early in the year and in March presented the play, The Many Loves of Dob e Gillis. The climax of their year came in the hard work and fun which went into planning and carrying out the Junior-Senior Reception.

Thirty-two of their number received hon¬ ors for maintaining a high scholastic average during their freshman year. In addition to the ever-increasing homework, many activities—some of them new—kept the sophomores busy. Some members took part in a corn gleaning project to enlarge their treasury, while others contributed money instead of labor. n mm Andrea Aeschliman, C a m m i e Aeschliman, Bonnie Alberson, Ronnie Anderson, David Bar- nell, Sharon Bauer, Lin¬ da Bergman Barbara Betz, Carolyn Betz, Rebecca Biberstine, Tom Bishop, Marjorie Blair, Bill Blocher, Mich¬ ael Boonstra Don Bowman, Ron Bow¬ man, Larry Brown, Terry Bunch, Nancy Butts, Vaughn Campbell, Philip Captain Sandra Cline, Larry Colen, Bill Collier, David Collins, Joe Combs, Gary Conner, Richard Coulter Danny Courtney, Pennie DeBolt, Myrl Decker, Paul Dentel, Gloria Du- bach, Linda Dunn, Lor¬ etta Durham Joyce Eaton, Rebecca Eichhorn, John Eisaman, Kathy Ellenberger, Janice Elliott, David Eubank, Rick Fair Rita Falk, Linda Flowers, Mary Flowers, Sandra Frantz, Tony Friedman, Janelle Fritz, John Fry- back William Gallivan, Robert Garrett, Tony Garton, Earl Gass, Joseph Gavin, Gene Gebele, Della Ger¬ ber 24 Michael Gerwig, Lor- ene Gilliom, Flossie Gra¬ ham, Vickie Graves, Di- ann Gregg, Vicki Gut- shaII, Sandra Hahn Jane Hamilton, Melinda Hauk, Carolyn Heckman, Jeane Heller, Thomas Jackson, Diane Johnson, Melvin Jones Judy Jost, Steven Ken¬ dall, Kaye Kennedy, Ron¬ ald Kiefer, Dian King, Richard King, Scott Klein- knight Terry Kummer, Bob La- mott, Judith Larmore, Richard Lesh, Betty Lick¬ ing, Gene Lydy, Myra Lydy VETERANS Ted Mahnensmith, Craig Mann, Craig Markley, Barry Mechling, Rebecca Meyer, Richard A.

Un¬ accustomed to the speed of BHS life, they appeared bewildered and dizzy, but by mid-year had become established in classes and acquainted with their class¬ mates and teachers.

EDUCATIONAL PLANETS 9 Education, the main purpose of a school, is receiving special emphasis in this year ' s Retrospect. Since there are nine planets in our solar system and nine departments in our school, the two are closely related in our Space Age theme. The wide range of subjects available at BHS allows each student to find interests on which to build a solid foundation for his future. The school ' s education program helps make pos¬ sible the student ' s adjustment to all the be¬ wildering concepts of our age. Top Row: E. Nixon, R. Bowman, L. Bergman, D. Gregg, S. Schwartz, D.

STUDENTS REWARDED FOR SCHOLASTIC PROWESS For the second year our school has recognized students who have achieved a high cumulative grade point average each year. A special convoca¬ tion is held each fall in which recognition certificates are awarded to sophomores and juniors and bronze medals to seniors. The students pictured below received certificates Top Row: J. Deming, J. Isch, K. Langel, R. Reber, W. Krause. Row 2: C. Ringger, P. Cook, K. Murray, L. Aeschliman, S. Frauhiger. Row 3: R. Warner, S.

The NEDT is designed to test a student ' s ability in five areas—English, Mathematics Usage, Social Studies, Reading, and Word Usage. To re¬ ceive a certificate, freshmen must rank in the top 8% in the state, sophomores in the top 7%. Mr. Camplese shows Linda Bouse and Galen Mann some of Top row: E. Gass, K. Ellenberger, A.

Garrett STUDENTS EXPLORE MYSTERIES OF SCIENCE, MATH With the development of the new Space Age has come a re¬ newed emphasis in all scientific and mathematical fields. Pic¬ tured are BHS students being instructed in some of the more difficult phases of science and math. They are gaining prac¬ tical knowledge in these sub¬ jects. Left: How does temperature affect the expansion of a solid? That is the question to be answered by this ex¬ periment being conducted by Lynda Myers as Mike McMillen, Jerry Jacobs, Mike McCord, and Mr. Broman await results. Peggy Cook and Regie Warner learn the fundamen¬ tals of the slide rule as Mr. Pettyjohn looks on. Performing an experiment in titration, Ken Mann shows Mr. Soper, Rick Yoder, and Sharon Higgins just how to determine the concentration of a substance in solution. 34 MANKIND IN THE UNIVERSE: SOCIAL STUDIES TOPIC In social study classes students have observed the develop¬ ments man has made from the Stone Age to the Space Age. The study of government, which involves man ' s advance¬ ment in society, is one of the most important aspects of these classes. Because of recent changes in society and world affairs, another chapter will soon be added to today ' s text¬ books. Highlighting the events of the civics class was a trip to the State Capitol to observe the legislature in action. Boarding the bus are Stanley Heyerly, Rick Bailer, Mike Fuller, and Larry Earhart. Desiring greater knowledge of history, BHS students listen in¬ tently to Mr. Ulmer as he reviews the happenings of yester¬ years. At the present time they are discussing the eighteenth century. Ned Emshwiller, delegate to Boy ' s State, points out to Charlotte St. John, Girl ' s State representative, the location of Indiana University where they spent a week learning the fundamentals of Indiana government. 35 COMMUNICATION ARTS Grow Increasingly Important As the world grows smaller each day, the ne¬ cessity of knowing a foreign language increases. The study of Spanish and Latin helps to enlarge each student ' s ability to communicate with others. Through the aid of patient teachers, the mystery of language is being dispelled. Mrs. Rodriguez, the new Spanish teacher, with her background of Cuban culture and intellect, has added color and enthusi¬ asm to the department. Do as the Romans do is the theme of this enactment. Melinda Hauk and Gloria Dubach are dressing Dick Lesh in the customary Latin costume as Mrs. Bodkin advises them. Lower Left: In Mrs. Garrett ' s English class, oral book reports may be given for extra credit. Pictured is Ed Mason giving his report to the class. 36 STUDENTS HONORED IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES Good public relations between school and community have provided BHS students with opportunities to gain honors in local contests. The American Legion and Rotary Clubs offered patriotic subjects for school orators, while the TB Association awarded prizes to essay winners. All finalists are entertained at a Rotary dinner near the close of school. L. Haitley, D. Rose, B. Biberstine, and A. Flaningam participated in the American Legion Speech Contest. Mr. Cobb instructed them. Our school had two winners, Susan Cook and Lynda Myers, in the county Tuberculosis Essay Contest this year. Bluffton was represented this year in Contest by Dave Rose and Linda Haifley. by Mr. Cobb. the Rotary Speech They were coached 37 ARTS, CRAFTS ARE POPULAR SUBJECTS Top, left: Pennie DeBolt and Lorene Gilliom receive instruc¬ tion from Mrs. Nash.

Tooling leather is one of the many activities learned by members of the art department. ( PHYSICAL SKILLS REQUIRE HOURS OF PRACTICE Anyone for jumping jacks? Exercise is the best way to¬ ward physical fitness in this class headed by Mrs. Butt. Commanding officer Jack Cross inspects his men for cleanliness before they embark on their exercise program. Astronauts take part in strenu¬ ous physical exercise before they take off into space. Stu¬ dents, too, have a vital exercise program ranging from busy fingers in typing class to calis¬ thenics in gym. Keeping up with President Kennedy ' s physi¬ cal fitness program, our phys.- ed. department has used his testing plan. Exercise not only helps to build and coordinate bodies but it also develops keen and alert minds. Miss Powers is helping Tom Higgins with the form of a business letter as members of her class type diligently. Mr. Fornshell, guidance counselor, furnishes Sheila Moser with information answering her questions on a future college career. PERSONNEL, GUIDANCE Our guidance department is important in our ed¬ ucational career through its help in administering and interpreting tests, arranging our College Night Program, keeping extensive files on each student, and counseling with individuals on school and per¬ sonal problems. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Fornshell work together to make our guidance department a success. Mr. Thompson, a member of the guidance department for the past two years, has helped to broaden its services to BHS students. AND GROWTH IN BHS Our students are preparing for the world of to¬ morrow by utilizing their study time to good ad¬ vantage. In the picture below BHS students are using the school library as a study hall. Effective study habits often mark the difference between an outstanding student and a poor one. Such habits are learned early in one ' s school career. Top row: Mr. Butt, N. Allison, J. Allison, R. Bailer, M. Oswalt, G. Ross, D. McCord, J. G ross, E Nixon. Row 2: M. Steiner, C. Reber, L.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT GROWS, IMPROVES QUALITY The BHS band, under the direction of Mr. Butt, performed for both the junior and senior class plays, convocations, football and basketball games, and in concerts. Playing for the commencement exercises was their final activity of the year. On two occasions this year, Ball State Band Day and the Berne-Bluffton-Decatur Festival, the group com¬ bined with other bands. Two members of the band, Judy Bierie and Dave Kelly, were honored by being selected to play in the Purdue All-Star Band. BHS students have enjoyed the programs given by the Bluffton High School Choir at special convo¬ cations and at College Night. The choir also sang at concerts and in churches for the benefit of the public. Each year the group participates in the district Choir Contest and several times they have been eligible for state competition. Performances of the choir are further enhanced by several soloists and ensemble groups who have won many honors at District and State Vocal Contests. Top row: K. Milholland, T. Horst, M.

V ATHLETIC STARS Above: Taylor stretches high for a rebound. Below: Faulkner braces for the serve. Many students thought they had a new hobby when they started watching satellites and stars, but BHS students have been following stars for years— Tiger stars, that is. Tiger fans are avid and loyal; they are proud of their teams and their reputation. The gridiron and the hardwood become the testing grounds for our teams where long hours of practice pay off in flashes of glory. Hard work, self-disci¬ pline, and victory are characteristics of Tiger stars. Above: A hard blocking Bengal clears the path. Below: Fore! cries a potential golf star of BHS.

CROSS ' S HARRIERS CAPTURE HONORS The cross country team, under the coaching of Mr. Cross, finished the season with a 3-5 record. The boys started practice before school convened in the fall and worked with increasing fervor through the final meet. Phil Captain, doing an outstanding job all year, ended the season with a first in the N.E.I.C. meet. Letter winners in cross country are those boys who finish in the top five of our own team members. Letter winners for the year were Ron Bunyard, Dave Captain, Phil Captain, Earl Gass, and Keith Mann. Bluffton—21 Hartford Township—40 Huntington—108 Bluffton—28 Farmland—27 Bluffton—28 H.

David Rose, playing linebacker, received the tackling trophy. Dan Deam was elected captain of the team and, along with Larry Schlagenhauf, received all-con¬ ference honors. The reserve squad played a very active schedule and ended their activities with a 2-2 record. The boys, after completing a successful season, will play on the varsity next year. The varsity will be backed by a rugged freshman team who finished a victorious season.

The freshmen demonstrated to all that they have the makings of a great young team by winning all three of their games. These boys will back the varsity and will give their support in reserve when the Tigers meet their aggressors next year.

VARSITY CAGERS FINISH SEASON A-OK Now well known all over the state for its bas¬ ketball accomplishments, Bluffton ended another noteworthy season of 16-8. The Tiger twelve came through many a tough game to finish with this fine record. Many fans followed the Tigers throughout the highlights of the basketball schedule. The romp¬ ing Tigers were victorious in the Holiday Tourna¬ ment at Bluffton, defeating Portland and De¬ catur. Although the conference foes were too strong for Bluffton to repeat as N.E.I.C. champions, they were a definite threat to all who competed against them. Brad Bounds again was the N.E.I.C. high scorer with a 31 point average per conference game. The Bengals won top honors in the Sectional by overtaking Hoagland, Ossian, and Liberty Center. Only after defeating these highly rated teams was Bluffton eliminated by Marion in the first game of the Regional by a score of 85 to 65. Six Tiger seniors will graduate leaving the juniors and the sophomores who have seen action this year as the leading contenders for the varsity spots next sea¬ son.

The reserves gained experience in a spirited season, playing the reserves of all the schools on the varsity schedule. One of the highlights of the season was winning the reserve tourney at Decatur. Our team finished the season with a record of 8-12. The Frosh of Bluffton may have been lost in find¬ ing their way around the halls of BHS, but on the basketball floor they obviously were not strangers. The B-team felt the effects of the Freshman skill as some of the boys were elevated to the reserves at the end of the season. The Freshmen ended the year with a record of 10-6.

Mr. Rosenstihl ' s dia¬ mond men showed much skill and spirit as they worked their way through a very tough schedule.

Mrs. Butt, sponsor of the G.A.A., and Deanna Lenoard, president, were the leaders. The group has held several play-days with other schools. The girls are on a point sys¬ tem; they receive points for attendance, taking part The girls show off their basketball talents. 55 SOCIAL FLASHES Class work is always important, but often it is the school-sponsored activities and organizations that offer opportunities for teachers and students to become better acquainted in a more informal at¬ mosphere. BHS has such a wide variety of activities that nearly every student can find something he en¬ joys. Among these are drama presentations, the Cheerblock, language and art clubs, service organi¬ zations, and the school dances. Participation in school social life results in wider interests, under¬ standing of others, and opportunities for leadership. All of these are practical preparations for adult life. Eating, talking, and playing are all important parts of students ' social interests. 56 Gary Shaw, Ned Emshwiller, Rachel Noblet, Dan Huss, and Mr. Park make up the business staff.

That was the year when the mercury plunged to a -18°. They probably will have forgotten, too, the thrill of winning the Section¬ al and the satisfaction of being elected to National Honor Society. As an aid to fading memory in years to come, the staff produced this book to keep alive the pleasures of the past. It is a journal of recorded memories—pictures and copy—which make up four of the happiest years of life—the high school years. Today we proudly present—THE 1963 RETROSPECT.

The Council does not have a regular time to meet; they meet when prob¬ lems arise and try to help the school function more smoothly. On the first day of classes they issued program cards as students entered the building. The council was in charge of College Night, a program which gives students and parents informa¬ tion about colleges by bringing representatives to speak to them. As fund raising projects, the group operated check rooms at the county and sectional tourneys and sold advertising in the football and basketball programs. With this money they paid for programs for convocations.

LATIN CLUB GIVES NEW LIFE TO OLD LANGUAGE The Bluffton Chapter of the Junior Classical League, better known as the Latin Club, was or¬ ganized in 1917 and went by the name of Sodalitas Latinae. The club held an initiation in October and now has a membership of 73. In the spring, the Latin Club Banquet was held. At this annual feast toga-clad students are served by freshman slaves who scurry to and fro with heaping plates of Roman food. Officers this year were Consul, Bob Frantz; Preator, Claudia Hart; Quaestor, Peggy Cook; Scriba, Lynne Aeschliman. STUDENT LIBRARIANS Could you please find a book for me? Student librarians not only find reference material for stu¬ dents but also catalogue and repair books. They received valuable experience in many phases of library service. As members of the Hoosier Student Librarians Association, they attended a workshop at Ball State in the fall. The girls celebrated Christmas by having a party at which they ate sack lunches and exchanged gifts. As a farewell to the senior librarians, they enjoyed a dinner at Fort Wayne.

After a student has earned 15 points for participa¬ tion in plays and skits, he is eligible for Thespian membership. Thespians learn the meaning of such terms as up stage, down stage, right exit, left exit; they become aware of the importance of lighting effects; and they quickly see that grease paint and stage make-up are quite differently applied than is the make-up worn every day. At the Christmas convocation this year, the group presented a humorous play, Our Miss Brooks and the Christ¬ mas Carol, which was directed by two Thespians, Ken Ellenberger and Dave Rose. Officers this year were Ricky Bailer, president; Larry Schlagenhauf, vice president; Jean Miller, treasurer; Mary Ann Baumgartner, secretary; and Mary Ann Athan, scribe.

The club held a party at the 4-H Park in the fall, and all ninety members celebrated Pan American Week in the spring at a program where, in costume, they presented a varied program of songs and dances. The Spanish Club is fortunate to have Mrs. Rodriguez as their sponsor. She arrived in Bluffton from Cuba just after the Christmas holidays. Officers of the club are Presidente, Mary Ann Baumgartner; Vice- Presidente, Phil Captain; Secretaria, Jan Fritz; Teso- rero, Joe Combs. This year the Dabblers Club moved their workshop to the grade school building, but this change did not prevent their displaying their art work in the high school. A field trip to Chicago in February was a major highlight for the Dabblers. The members at¬ tended lectures at the Art Museum and toured parts of the city. As a money making project, they operated a coat room at basketball games.

Its pur¬ pose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. Membership this last year reached a high of seventy. During the year the club participated in various service projects such as sending Christmas baskets of toys and food to needy families. As a money making project, the boys operated the concession st and at basketball games. However, they did not spend all their time working; they entertained their mothers by treating them to a dinner and program at the Dutch Mill, a party they called Mom ' s Night. John Fryback and Rick Fair man the popcorn machine as a part of their time in the concession stand. 62 Y-TEENS ' ACTIVITIES, IDEALS ATTRACT MANY GIRLS Striving to build a better world is one of the goals of the Y-Teen Club. They began the school year on the right foot by initiating 58 new girls. In October the club held their annual Best Beau Banquet which proved to be a great success. In the spring they honored their mothers by inviting them to a tea which gave the girls an opportunity to exhibit their social graces and provided an en¬ tertaining evening for their mothers. As a fund¬ raising project, the Y-Teen Girls sold attractive Christmas wrappings. To help the club achieve their goals, the officers, Linda Meyer, Suzanne Spaid, Ann Flaningam, and Jennifer Fryback, attended a conference at Muncie. The officers and committee chairmen also attended a midwinter institute at Marion to learn new ideas for money-making projects and social affairs for the club. ■I m .

GIRL Produced By Fledgling Actors Try-out days were exciting, and the Juniors of 1962 waited anxiously for Mr. McNown to announce the play cast. Sometime earlier a play committee had worked with him to choose Ask Any Girl, a three-act comedy from a novel by Winifred Wolfe. Following these two important steps came a rather unexciting period of learning lines, getting ac¬ quainted with stage directions, and finding one ' s way on and off stage at the right times. Excitement began to mount as the performance date drew near. Every member of the class worked on a committee which helped make the play a success. After it was over and the properties returned, the class found they had added to their treasury, they had received a gratifying amount of praise from relatives and friends, and—best of all—they had had FUN.

They are our guiding lights, for their symbol is the flaming torch. The local chapter con¬ sisted of Mary Ann Baumgartner, Lynda Myers, David Rose, Susan Sprunger, and Anne Symon until in INDICATED FOR NHS February, an induction ceremony was held at which seniors and juniors were added to the group. No more than 15 per cent from the senior class can be chosen. 5 per cent is chosen in the junior year and 10 per cent in the senior. QUILL AND SCROLL Quill and Scholl is the honorary society which gives recognition to those high school students who have done outstanding work in the field of journal¬ ism. They must all be in the upper third of their class and must be recommended by their super¬ visors; names are then submitted to the Executive Secretary of the International Society. This year ' s members were chosen from the Retrospect staff, three from the editorial staff and one from the business staff.

Probably no group of students has worked harder or longer hours than the lighting and sound boys. They come to school early many mornings and stay late many nights. Our enjoyment of convoca¬ tions, ballgames, and special meetings was bright¬ ened by the service these boys gave. Senior Greg Starr, junior Lee Bender, and sophomore Larry Colen had charge of lighting and the public address system this year. Greg Starr explains to Lee Bender and Larry Colen the diffi¬ culty of operating lights The Cheerblock, now composed of 168 girls, has become an increasingly more important part of school life since its organization in 1952. These peppy Tiger boosters suffered hoarse voices and exhausted lungs, but felt their discomfort worthwhile as they cheered the Tigers through the long season. In spite of Mother Nature ' s -10° weather they came to school long before the other students to practice the original yells and letter formations which at game time drew so many compliments from fans and visitors. The regulation red and black jerseys and white gloves which they wore to games added color to their snappy routines. At the Sectional and Regional Tourneys the girls added to their uni¬ forms bright red berets with black BHS letters on the side. With true team spirit, they worked as a unit fol lowing their leaders and cheered for the Tigers until the final gun, regardless of the score. CHEERBLOCK DISPLAYS COLOR, CLAMOR, AND SPIRIT Now Hey Hey! OK Kids, let ' s really yell this time! were the often repeated pleas of the hard¬ working varsity cheerleaders. Many hours were spent making up songs, yells, and routines. Some¬ times the girls were privileged to eat with the team; the greatest thrills came when they proudly helped clip the nets at the Holiday Tourney and the Sec¬ tional.

To cheer on the hard¬ working team a bonfire pep rally was organized to spark team support. The flame grew and spread as the season progressed. The baton twirlers performed in several exhibitions which showed grace, precision, and competent train¬ ing. Their colorful outfits added sparkle to the group. Freshman cheer¬ leaders deserve a part of the credit for the notable success of Freshman basketball team. These make up just a few of the groups needed to keep spirit and enthusiasm glowing to boost BHS athletes to further success¬ es. 69 SCHOOL CALENDAR Sept. 4 Oct. 24 25-26 Nov. 2 22-23 School Opens Y-Teen Banquet Teachers ' Institute Senior Class Play Thanksgiving Vacation Dec. 21- Jan. 2 Mar. 1-2 9 15 Apr. 12-15 May 3 17 19 23 24 Christmas Vacation Sectional Tourney Regional Tourney Junior Class Play Spring Vacation Hi-Y Banquet Junior-Senior Reception Baccalaureate Senior Class Day Commencement Students wait in line to receive their pro¬ grams on the first day of school.
