Bluffton High School - Retrospect Yearbook (Bluffton, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1966 volume:

) High school offers the stu¬ dent opportunities for success in many areas. All one must do is open the door. Behind it may be found a place on the honor roll ... a major B award ... a class office ... an A on a trig quiz ... a part in the class play ... a memorable experi¬ ence singing in a quartet . . . a win in a speech contest . . . or perhaps a victory on the athletic field. These events and many more have been experi¬ enced by the seniors. We have opened and closed many doors since that first anxious day when as freshmen we first walked through the stately east entrance. The tall, green clanging doors of our skinny lockers will forever remind us of school life in the crowded halls. The impressive doorways to the gymnasium called us to¬ gether for pep sessions, class meetings, and convocations. The paneled glass windows of the janitors ' room door were often knocked on in hopes of finding a ladder, a broom, or a screw driver. We, as grad¬ uates, are about to knock on a new door: the door of the future. Before we do, however, we would like to share some of FOREWORD the highlights of our four years at Bluffton High as we go Through the Doors in Retros¬ pect. In choosing the best door leading to his goal, a student is guided by the faculty and administration. The counselors offer guidance by using their knowledge, patience, and un¬ derstanding. They encourage the students to open the doors to study and to participation in extra-curricular activities. They also help in the develop¬ ment of pupil ideals—enthus¬ iasm, loyalty, and courage. Working together, these ad¬ visors devote much of their time and effort toward the betterment of this community through high standards of edu¬ cation. As a result, the stu¬ dents of BHS often become outstanding citizens of this and other communities, many ex¬ celling as leaders of church and civic organizations. Mr. Park, our principal; Mr. Prible, our superintendent; Mr. Ed- ington, our assistant principal; Mr. Huffman, our assistant superintendent; and the mem¬ bers of our school board— Dr. William Gitlin, Mr. Charles Weterick, and Mr. Leslie Dold—strive to make our school life a balanced one. As FACULTY we look back, we can be grate¬ ful for their sincere interest shown toward us, the students of BHS. 5 Administrative Plans for School Addition Mr. Prible guides and directs the business of the Bluffton-Metropolitan School District from his office in the Central building. Mr. Huffman, assistant superintendent, ef¬ ficiently serves the school district. As the result of many hours of planning by the school board, the new high school addition is now underway. Make Juture brighter Sensitive to all situations, Principal finds time for each student. With a pleasant smile, another day of efficiency is executed by As¬ sistant Principal Edington.

Mrs. Christian, library supervisor, made reference materials available for student book reports and research projects. Mr. Thompson ' s journalistic staff reported these and other activi¬ ties in the weekly Comet. Librarian English, Commercial English Law, Public Speak¬ ing Mrs. Hughes— Mrs. Rose— Mr. Thompson— Sociology, English, English Psychology Journalism, Guid¬ ance Juniors display compositions on bulletin board. SPANISH— To accommodate grow¬ ing interest in Spanish, Mr. Faulkner was added to the faculty this year. He and Mrs. Rodriguez not only showed the students the correct usage of the language, but also informed them of the life, history, and songs of the Spanish-speaking peoples. LATIN— M rs. Bodkin ' s two-year Latin course benefits students by establishing a correlation between the Latin words and their English derivatives. First year students study basic grammar, and the second year pupils apply their knowledge by reading in Latin about the ad¬ ventures of Hannibal. Mrs. Bodkin— English, Latin Mr. Faulkner— Spanish, Commer¬ cial Geography Mrs. Rodriquez- Spanish Advanced Spanish students learn Mexican customs. Zkrougk tke Doors of Knowledge SOCIAL STUDIES —Seniors gained insight into the world situation through the instruction of Mr. McNown as he presented them with in¬ formation on government as well as economy. Mr. Fischer and Mr. Ulmer stressed the im¬ portance of learning from our forefathers in United States and World History. Under the direction of Mrs. Hughes, the seniors were able to understand man and his reaction t o society by studying different cultures in so¬ ciology and personality in psychology. Mr. Fischer— Mr. McNown— Mr. Ulmer— United States His- Economics, Civics tory, World History United States His¬ tory, World History Mr. Broman— Chemistry, Physics, Trigonometry, Alge¬ bra Mr. Modlin— Geometry, Algebra Mr. Soper— Chemistry, Algebra, Commercial Arith¬ metic Mr. Modlin ' s geometry students attempt to prove another theorem. SCIENCE —When math teachers Broman, Modlin, and Soper insisted that one plus one equaled ten, confusion reigned. Looking through the doors of the past, we recall the time when one plus one equaled two. How¬ ever, our age of computers requires a differ¬ ent number base. In addition to the science of math are chemistry and physics. Enthusi¬ asm for these subjects resulted in perfectly formed crystals and in teresting projects. 9 Zeackers Drill and PHYSICAL EDUCATION— Mr. Cross promotes physical fitness by emphasizing vigorous activities from all boys in his physical education classes. As a result they acquire skill in basketball, soccer, and dodgeball. Miss Crew, as instructor in girls ' gym classes, requires written and skill tests to help maintain their physical status. Miss Crew— Guidance, Physical Education Mr. Cross— Physical Education, Guidance And this is a D! Miss Powers informs her junior typing class. All right, men, I, 2, 3, I—I, 2, 3, 2—1, 2, 3, 3. Mr. Bennett— Miss Powers— Bookkeeping, Typing Typing, Shorthand, Office Practice COMMERCE— Typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice, although all related to business, teach separate skills and are taught in separate classes. They do, however, have common goals of speed, efficiency, and accuracy. The bookkeeping classes, under the guidance of Mr. Bennett, worked toward these goals by filling in practice sets and tax forms. They often found this satisfying, especially when their books balanced. Directed by Miss Powers, the typists learned the correct form for business letters and practiced speed drills. As a result, BHS commerce students are well prepared to receive training for demanding work in the world of business. But it doesn ' t balance! is the familiar cry of Mr. Bennett ' s bookkeeping students. ' 4 ? - 4 ? Practice for Perfection ■■Hnn — -m Mr. Neuensch- wander— Art Mr. Larmore— Shop, Math, Gen¬ eral and Advanced Shop Mrs. Nash— Home Economics MUSIC —Mr. Baxter, the director of the music department, instills a sense of rhythm and apprecia¬ tion of music in the band and chorus members of Bluffton High School. The musicians engage in three major areas of study: sight reading, preparation for perform¬ ances, and instruction in theory. VOCATIONAL COURSES— The vocational courses offered at Bluffton High provide opportunities for self-expression and creativ¬ ity and supply useful knowledge for fu¬ ture homemakers and skilled workmen. Along with the knitting craze, this year also saw the home economics girls cooking, sew¬ ing, and studying family relations and home planning under the supervision of Mrs. Nash. The basic technics employed in print¬ ing, mechanical drawing, and woodworking are presented by Mr. Edington and Mr. Larmore in the industrial arts department. Ken ' s shop project will soon be blaring out the latest hit tunes. Mr. Edington— Shop, Mechanical drawing, Printing Pour-Sift-Measure-and Stir! ART —The study of art under the surveillance of Mr. Neuenschwander in the junior high building is an enjoyable subject for many stu¬ dents. Visits to the art room find the artists absorbed in one of the many facets of art: sculpturing, oil painting, sketching street fair scenes, creating self-portraits, or phototinting. 12 The Seniors of 1966 lived in a friendly world filled with a wide variety of work and play experiences. The four busy years have opened the doors to such things as attending swinging dances . . . sponsor¬ ing candy sales . . . joining clubs . . . wearing those pre¬ cious class rings . . . spending late hours rehearsing for the presentation of The Mouse That Roared . . . decorating for the 1965 Dixieland Show- boat . . . completing job or college applications and anx¬ iously waiting for replies . . . pondering the meaning of SAT scores . . . practicing for our senior play, One Foot in Heaven . . . being elected to membership in the National Honor Society . .. burning the midnight oil to complete term papers, lab reports, and special projects . . . and last, but not least, preparing this 1966 Retrospect. Many of us also took part in athletics, speech contests, and scholar¬ ship contests; but as our com¬ mencement neared, we studied harder. Life ' s gateway slowly opened and the time soon came for us to adorn our¬ selves in caps and gowns, to SENIORS leave these familiar surround¬ ings, and to join those who have gone before us to new, challenging opportunities. 13 Seniors Graduate 124 Strong Stephen Huffman, President Terry Baker, Vice-President Linda Thieme, Treasurer Carole Mahnensmith, Secretary Michael Andrews Larry Barton Billy Beaty Say, that ' s a good idea! 14 With Enthusiasm for Juture The hard-working Senior Class sponsors were Mrs. Garrett, and Mr. Edington.

These students always have a cheerful greeting for fellow classmates and teach¬ ers. These are the underclass¬ men, an integral part of the student body at Bluffton High School. Representative of the typical teen-agers, these stu¬ dents display much pep and enthusiasm for all school pro¬ grams, both academic and ex¬ tracurricular. Like most typical teens, they cheer for the home team, cry when the Tigers lose and sometimes when they win, attend all the dances and open-houses, live on hamburg¬ ers, french fries, and cokes, and follow the current fads of wearing pendant watches and madras belts. They realize, however, that there is a time for work and a time for play, although not always in equal portions. These industrious un¬ derclassmen often combine procrastination and late hours to produce excellent note¬ books, term papers, and chem¬ istry projects. As these sopho¬ mores and juniors open more doors of learning and experi- UNDERCLASSMEN ence, they will gain more of the characteristics which wi’l provide good future leaders at BHS. juniors Shed Qym Clothes, Having successfully completed their first two years at BHS, the class of 1967 returned 145 strong, eager to assume new activities and responsibilities. As fresh¬ men and sophomores they had tried to adjust to the academic and social schedule of high school, and as the junior year was attained most had found a def¬ inite path to follow. Attendance at the College Night program and a series of career meetings, conducted by the guidance department, aided the students in planning their future schooling and vocations. The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, which is prepara¬ tion for the Scholastic Aptitude Test, was the major test offered on the junior level. However, several jun¬ iors also took the SAT. Scholarship, the arts, sports, and participation in the various extracurricular or¬ ganizations were active areas in which many juniors gained recognition. The number of projects undertaken as an entire class also increased. The year ' s activities included selling mints and turtles as a money-making venture and holding a class party in the winter. In March the successful production of the Junior Class play, The Boys and Ghouls Together, brought more profits to the class. Planning and decorating for the Junior-Sen¬ ior Reception proved to be a rewarding experience. At this event BHS juniors bid farewell to the graduating seniors.

Comprised of 166 students, theirs was the largest class ever to enter BHS. They also became a part of the 6-3-3 system in the Bluffton-Harrison Metropolitan School District as the ninth grade joined the Central Junior High. As evidence of their academic excellence, thirty- four scholars received scholastic awards in September. In March the National Educational Development Test was administered to those who wished to rank them¬ selves with other students in the United States and to prepare themselves for future national tests. All sophomores completed the Kuder Preference Record which yielded a summary of each student ' s fields of interest. Extracurricular activities became more important as the boys were initiated into Hi-Y and the girls joined Y-Teens. The boys became active participants in many sports, while the girls continued to be en¬ thusiastic supporters of the various teams. With a class party in April and the selection of their class rings, the students in the Class of 1968 reached the upperclassman status. Mrs. Rodriguez, Mr. Broman, Mr. McNown, Mrs. Hughes, Miss Crew, Mrs. Bodkin, and Mrs. Rose sponsor class activities.

These boys seem to think that this particular door serves as a starting place for their extra¬ curricular activities, and any¬ one getting in their way de¬ serves the outcome. However, any student is willing to over¬ look this stomping, if the Tiger team adds another victim to its list of conquered foes. Practice makes perfect is a common saying that the Beng- als take to heart. After the pop¬ ular basketball season came to a close with the annual bout of Hoosier Hysteria, the familiar north entrance was no longer in existence, for the construction of the new addi¬ tion had started. Therefore, spring found the energetic athletes pouring from the south door to eagerly partici¬ pate in track, golf, tennis, or baseball. Participation in athletics not only builds the boys physically, but mentally as well. Because of the stress placed on fair play and sportmanship—win or lose—the Tigers ' attitude was always admirable. Due to SPORTS the unusual team spirit they displayed, BHS discovered a renewal of enthusiasm in all sports. We, the students and loyal fans, are very proud of our Tigers and wish them con¬ tinued SUCCESS. 39 TOP ROW: B. Rhodes, D. Ward, D. Thompson, H. Bennett, D. Watters, D. Murray, B. Symon, B.

Varsity Provides football Zkrills Bluffton ' s Tigers ended the 1965 gridiron campaign with a conference tilt in which they roared to a 39-6 victory over Berne. The stalwart Tiger defensive unit allowed only one team to score more than a single T.D. and yielded only 45 points in 9 games. Opponents averaged less than 3 yards per carry against the stingy Tigermen, while our offensive team scored repeatedly and at times appeared stellar in their feats. Bluffton ' s only losses were to Garrett, the team who won the NEIC crown, and to a very aggressive De¬ catur team. A 4-2 record gave the Tigers fourth place in NEIC play, and a 7-2 overall mark proved second best in Bengal history. Greg Kauffman, outstanding senior tackle, was elected honorary captain. Sophomore Norman Kain, referred to as the little giant, led all Tigers with 64 tackles. Joe Romine was the leading scorer in the area with 78 points and was third place scorer in the NEIC. It was the boys ' desire to win and strong determination that provided the many thrills for the BHS fans. NEIC honors went to 6 Tiger lettermen: First Team—J. Romine; Second Team—R.

The Cubs displayed an abundance of speed, size, and desire—qualities necessary to make stars for future varsity gridiron seasons. The scoring punch of the Tiger Cubs was unequaled as they romped undefeated through their 15 game season. Coached by Mr. Modlin, their successful season set another record for BHS. Their prowess will undoubtedly be shown in future reserve and varsity competition.

Seniors Inspire basketball Spirit The Bluffton High basketball team turned out a 1965-66 season filled with unusual team spirit. Although they finished with a 9-12 record, thrills were provided as the Tigers knocked off confident teams such as New Haven and Auburn. Undaunted by defeat, the fighting five struck back, losing narrowly to ace rivals, Decatur and Portland. Combining the rebounding force and heighth of Dick Harris and Mike Shafer with the scoring potential of Glenn Talbert and Jay Purkiser, the inexperienced varsity held the never die spirit throughout the season. Piaymaker and honorary team captain Joe Romine as well as Glenn Talbert and Dick Harris were included on the All-NEIC Honorable Mention team for the 1965-66 season. Leaving the scene this year are Al Schlagenhauf, Terry Mad¬ dux, Dick Harris, and Joe Romine. The evidence of a strong bench, however, leads fans to believe that the 66-67 season will be rewarding. Tigers crowd around Coach Cross to receive vital instructions. Poised for action, Mike waits while Dick leaps for the tip-off. 45 junior Varsity Sparks Suture Mopes Kent and Keith work diligently while Walt and Larry pose. Rick puts his living stretch to work. The jun ior varsity basketball team, comprised of sophomores and juniors, displayed future promise for BHS in the 65-66 season. Their impressive record of 13 wins and 7 losses included several tight contests. Huntington squeaked by the reserves with a three point margin while the New Haven win was 35-34. The Bengal junior varsity was primed and ready to go at the very beginning of the season. They won their first seven games before tasting defeat at the hands of Portland in the Reserve Team Tourney in December. However, they quickly bounced back, turning away Kendallville 48-43. Pat Carney with a season total of 122 points and Bill Mettler with 118 points led all reserve scorers. Coach Ken Payne, in his first season of coaching at BHS, emptied his bench often so that the boys on the squad saw plenty of action. As a result experience was gained which will be useful in next year ' s competition. WE BASKETBALL RECORD THEY 49 Ossian 37 48 Southside, Ft.

Frank Wilson Baseball Manager Track Ch aracterized by desire, determination, and devotion, the lettermen of BHS form the backbone of the high school athletic program. To win the cherished black Major B, an athlete in basketball or baseball must play in two-thirds of the games. In football he must participate in at least 10 quarters of varsity play. In track he must earn 10 points, and in cross country he must be one of the top runners during the year. To receive a letter in tennis he must win one-half of his matches. In golf he must participate in two-thirds of the scheduled games and take part in the sectional and conference meets. Many boys excel above these minimum requirements. It is often their extra effort that makes the difference between a victory and a defeat. BHS can be proud of the fine performances of these athletes. 55 At BHS school life and academic life go hand in hand. We walk through doorways into classrooms to learn just a little more than we knew yes¬ terday. An ulterior motive might be a neat blonde or a sharp brunette—but these at¬ tractions just add to our in¬ terest in education. We are proud of BHS—of its faculty and student body—no one can convince us otherwise. It is here we receive our back¬ ground for a higher education or for a job in the future, so that we may some day be¬ come good citizens. The many extracurricular activities add color and life to the academic portion of school. Getting along and working with others was made perceptible through school or¬ ganizations. These clubs allow students a chance to exhibit their various talents through school and community per¬ formances. They teach stu¬ dents to acquire friendships, to cooperate, to share, to lead, and to follow by being active club members. They also give a vivid image of the responsibilities that the pupils of BHS will soon shoulder. These organizations produce ACTIVITIES the true students—academi¬ cally and socially. These are the students who will take an active part in community life. They are the ones who are proud to say BHS is my high school. 57 ngHH f ■PLl W At! JP� “ :f 1 !■ 4y lfr..

The varsity, made up of four senior girls, and the reserve, two underclass cheerleaders, joined forces in leading the school song and introducing the varsity team members. Mi Zkere, Zeam! Led by the synchronized motions of their cheer¬ leaders, 156 red-and-black jerseyed girls backed the Tiger basketball squads with vigo r and enthusiasm. Evidencing many hours of practice, the BHS cheer- block showed mastery of intricate spelling patterns, and their white-gloved hands kept time to the stirring strains of the band. In victory or defeat, the cheer- block girls left no doubt where their loyalties lay. QAA Provides Program of Jim The Girls Athletic Association is an organization formed for the girls who want to participate in sports. Directed by Miss Crew, the girls enjoyed many hours of wholesome recreation playing bas¬ ketball, volleyball, and softball; bowling; or doing calisthentics. Win or lose, the girls enjoyed meeting and playing with teams from other schools. The of¬ ficers of this club were Carolyn Miller, Carol Betz, Margaret Spade, and Mary Egly. G.A.A. girls receive many honors and awards. A minor B is obtained when 150 points are earned, and a major B with 250 points. State plaques are awarded when a girl obtains 350 points, which is usually at the end of her senior year. GAA girls proudly display their major B ' s as they gather around state and local award winner, Carolyn Miller. Jody jumps high for the ball as two GAA teams compete in bas¬ ketball.

The band loyally supported the BHS athletic program by providing half¬ time shows at football games and by accompanying the cheer- block during the basketball season. The band also represented BHS at the Purdue Band Day, participated in the Berne-Bluffton- Decatur Music Festival, and produced Magic of Music , which featured a student conductor and a cornet duet with band accompaniment. The twirlers, a colorful part of the marching band, added interest to many programs with their skillfully performed routines. These perky girls were rewarded for their hours of practice by winning first place in the Decatur Halloween Parade marching contest. Selected as band captain for the 1965-66 school year was Lewis Captain. Jerry Anderson was chosen drum major, while Beverly Frauhiger was elected head majorette. The marching band provides halftime entertainment at football games. Jerry Anderson ' s baton keeps the marching band in step. 65 Zhesplans Use Zlme and Zalent TOP ROW: B. Garrett, D. Baker, A.

Cauguage Clubs Put Zime and Zalent Juto Projects The Don Quijote Spanish Club, under the direc¬ tion of Mrs. Rodriguez, has endeavored to promote the use of the Spanish language and the knowledge of the Spanish speaking countries. The year ' s main activities were the Christmas party, where members sampled traditionally-prepared Spanish dishes, and the colorful Fiesta in the spring, which featured Span¬ ish folk dances and a comical bullfight. Leaders of the club were Denzel Huber, presidente; Cheryllee Eley, vice-presidente; Gayle Aschliman, secretaria, and Trudy Horst, tesorera. This year the Junior Classical League of BHS, un¬ der the guidance of Mrs. Bodkin, initiated the second year Latin students at an impressive fall ceremony. The members participated in many varied activities— a joint Christmas dinner with the Berne Latin Club, monthly meetings, a Roman banquet, and a fun- filled spring picnic. To encourage the advancement of Latin, the members contributed to a scholarship fund for future Latin teachers.

Outstanding Students Are Honored for Scholar ship The Bluffton High School chapter of the National Honor Society initiated eighteen new members into their organiza¬ tion this year. The coveted membership is based on character, service, leadership, and scholarship. Elected to the society as juniors and leaders in this year ' s activities were Terry Baker, Melinda Fishbaugh, Mary Anne Kephart, and Carolyn Miller with Linda Thieme serving as president, Joe Romine as vice-president, and Carole Mahnen¬ smith as secretary. Miss Powers is the group sponsor. Those selected to fill the ten p®r cent of the Senior Class were Carol Luginbill, Sandy Brickley, Jacque Licking, Susan Cook, Sandy Gagle, Sylvia Willey, Alina Rodriguez, Cheryllee Eley, Lewis Captain, Steve Huffman, and Diane Betz. The five per cent of the Junior Class included Judy Murray, Cynthia Cotton, Dave Watters, John Kephart, Larry Dold, Gayle Aschliman, and Richard Ward. In the fall of 1965 Mr. Park recognized the outstanding Bluffton High School students for their scholastic achievements at a special awards convocation. As the six honored seniors were called from the student body, Superintendent Prible presented them with bronze medallions for grade point averages of 3.5 or higher during their three years of high school. Twenty-three juniors, having achieved averages of 3.4 for their first two years, received certificates, as did the thirty-four sophomores earning a 3.3 index their first year. Seniors continued striving for high grades during their last two semesters, hoping to attain the sterling silver charms given to those with a 3.6 average upon completion of their eighth semester.

In addition to her regular secretarial duties for Mr. Park, Mrs. Marilyn Gerber does much for the students ' welfare by mimeographing Comets and daily bulletins, recording and filing school records, and typing programs. Mrs. Ethyl Merritt, who began her duties in September, is responsible for the sale and distribution of lunch tickets as well as the keeping of the lunch program records.

Cooperation Prevails at PMS The high school lunch program, in its third year of opera¬ tion, served approximately 350 students and teachers daily. The cooks—Mrs. Gene Pope, Mrs. Adrian Sprunger, and Mrs. Roy Meyer—provided a variety of hot meals with the as¬ sistance of Mr. Murray. Sweeping halls, adjusting thermostats, and readying the lunch room constituted some of the many daily duties of our mainten¬ ance men, Mr. Zoll and Mr. Kiefer.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Christian they gained valuable knowledge of library procedure by lettering, shellacking, repairing, cataloging, and shelving books. These girls were also responsible for creating eye-catching bulletin board displays to encourage reading. In the fall they attended the Hoosier Student Librarians Association Conference at Bloomington, Indiana, where they met other librarians and visited the Indiana Uni¬ versity library and art museum. Student librarians prepare a new book for shelves. Courtesy in serving the student body is the role of a librarian. 76 Service Makes Ceaders Students may choose to serve their school in various ways. The girls in the bookstore invest much time in taking inventory, ordering supplies, and helping their fellow students before school and during the lunch period.

The production of One Foot in Heaven, directed by Mr. McNown and starring Linda Thieme and Dave Grif¬ fis, dramatized the problems faced by a minister ' s family after moving into a small, run¬ down, midwestern parish dur¬ ing the early 1900 ' s. Authen¬ tic costumes, properties, and accents added a professional quality to this senior play. Mr. McNown, the director, to the prope instructs promptors as A qvmnasium in the church?

I i Queen Jill Isch and King Steve Huffman were waited upon by a court composed of Lonnie Frauhiger, Susan Cook, Sandy Brickley, and Loren Hunt. Zhe Prom Js a Dream Come Zrue Juniors paid their final tribute to the departing seniors at the Junior Senior Reception on May 20. The underwater theme Paradise Lost was portrayed by a mammoth sea shell on the stage and a cave entrance. Live fish peered through the distorted glass of centerpiece fishbowls at the beautiful girls and their handsome escorts. Following a medley of songs by three Taylor co-eds, King Steve Huffman and Queen Jill Isch were crowned. The reception was followed by the Fourteenth Annual All- Night Party. The program included a formal dance to the music of Dick Brown and his orchestra, a movie at the Holiday Theatre, and a record hop deejayed by John Cigna. Between records, students with lucky numbers received door prizes. At 5 A.M. the weary dancers shuffled through the cave for the last time and picked up desk calendar souvenirs to serve as reminders of their night in paradise.

For many, Baccalaureate on May 22 brought the first abrupt realization that BHS school days would soon be at an end. The Class of 1966 solemnly pondered the words of Dr. Edwin Gordon in the gymnasium—filled with parents, friends, faculty members, and relatives. Once again dressed in our somber gray robes and mortarboards, we were lauded on our final day at BHS Class Day. After the reading of our class history and prophecy, the coveted awards and scholarships were presented to various members of our class, and Mr. Park formally introduced Linda Thieme and Melinda Fishb ' augh, respectively, as Valedictorian and Salutator- ian. Finally our big day arrived. On Friday evening, May 27, 1966, we, the Senior Class of 1966, received our diplomas and the good wishes of all at Commencement exercises in the BHS auditorium. Highlights of the pro¬ gram were speeches by Dr. Hanne J. Hicks of Indiana University, Linda Thieme, and Melinda Fishbaugh. Valedictorian, Linda Thieme, and Salutatorian, Melinda Fish¬ baugh, practice their speeches for commencement. 83 ART PHOTOGRAPHY ,m, . ' ' ■■■■ ■■ - 1 ■ - m THEME SPORTS FACULTY -----23Z3S3!

Romine, Headlines and Deadlines We, the section editors, attempted to evaluate the doorways of Bluffton High School in the 1966 Retrospect. October 1965 began the dream and plan. As editors, we could generally be identified rushing madly throuqh the halls for a conference with Mrs. Rose. Later, identi¬ fication was made by the lines of worry on our faces caused by anxiety over deadlines or the too- balanced layout. Our lives became a mingling of meet¬ ings, appointments, and decisions. It was then we began to wonder about child labor laws, emancipation, and other non-applying legislation. As the end of school grew nearer, the many hours spent began to yield results as more and more pages were satisfactorily completed. Through the combined ef¬ forts of many members of the Senior Class, we proudly present the product of our labors—the 1966 Retro¬ spect. Quill and Scroll is a national honorary organization which recognizes outstand¬ ing students in the journalistic field.
