table of contents school life activities sports i academic people index I walk through the outstretched halls of our school. What do I feel? What do I express? On your face I have seen and always known I suppose . .. You have painted conflict wi th your heated breath. The agony of losing and the ecstasy of winning, The depth of wisdom and the width of understanding, In times gone by and yet around the corner . . . I was there in your heart and mind When you loved and liked and helped and struggled, Not quite sure who you were or how you wanted to be . . . I have heard the mighty roar of your multitudes And the silent whispered prayer of one alone, Crossing the bridge of courage, to find solitude and inner strength . . . And now your thoughts and deeds come back to me. Where with one hello, a fading sound of laughter and several tears, You have changed the world where no one else has dared to try. — Judy Brown Top left: Kandy Simpson makes a pur¬ chase from friendly bookstore personnel Anita Harvey and Janet Kizer.

Adopting a theme of “Expres¬ sions” the Retro staff enlarged the book by eight pages in order to experiment with new techni¬ ques. Among the innovations were copy blocks and special picture effects in the School Life section. Facing a series of deadlines, Retro members spent many Tuesdays cropping, bleeding and writing. Coupling frustration with a comedy of errors, the staff met each one. American representative Mr. Arthur joins staff editors Doug, Annie and Chuck in a session. 16 Mrs. Rose gives the final word. Linda Jaskie, Jon Cupp, and Chuck Barbieri work out picture cropping. School life section meets to organize pages. Section Editors: Mrs. Rose, J. Brown, A. Matzen, S. Day, G. Brickley, V. Haffner, D. Nowak, D. Sundling, L. Jaskie, C. Barbieri, E. Menso, J. Cupp. 17 The Comet Staff Tells It Like It Is Ten students composed the 1972-73 Comet staff, collecting news for the bi-monthly paper distributed to BHS students free of charge. Everyone took his turn at the role of editor throughout the year, with the special sec¬ tional issue headed by Boyd Pen- rod and the senior issue by Ed Menso. The staff policy was to express student opinion, yet re¬ spect the administration’s re¬ sponsibility to the community. Comet staff also read hun¬ dreds of student writings, com¬ piling the most outstanding in a literary magazine entitled “Ex¬ pressions.” Top editors of the publication were Elaine Johnson, Gale Brickley and Annie Matzen.

Designed to provide leader¬ ship, confidence and the sense of belonging, the 1972-73 club involved nearly 30 girls. Interest¬ ed in perfecting their office abi¬ lities, the girls tested their short¬ hand, typing and office proce¬ dures in a number of area con¬ tests. In the spring of the year, the organization honored a number of local business men and women at their annual banquet. It’s not always business at OEA. Award winners: G. Rush, C. Neuenschwan- der, J.

Wearing paper hats, the new members performed stunts, such as imi¬ tating Mexican jumping beans. At one of the homeroom meet¬ ings, the club had a “Taco Bash’’ where the members were all treated to tacos. The club held its annual Christ¬ mas party with the Norwell Span¬ ish Club. Held at East Side School, the two clubs smashed five pina- tas and sang Spanish carols. In the spring, the club climax¬ ed the eventful year with their annual Spring Fiesta. As the cus¬ tom demanded, they ate Span¬ ish food and enjoyed Spanish en¬ tertainment. •m Rick Martin shows re¬ lief and exultation up¬ on being initiated into the club. The popular saying, ‘you’re not getting older, you’re getting better,’ describes the optimism of 34 Latin Club students who reaffirmed their faith in the anti¬ quity of ancient Rome. Sponsored by Mrs. Bodkin, the JCL chapter initiated new mem¬ bers in the fall, according to es¬ tablished rituals. The “Nova membra,’’ along with the old members met once a month to learn and to reacquaint them¬ selves with the mythology and heritage of Rome. Instead of attending the state JCL convention, the club traveled to Indianapolis to view a national catapulting contest. The entrants, who came from several states, had built facsimiles of old Ro¬ man models for the contest. To finish the year, the organi¬ zation held their Spring Banquet. As their final act, the senior members were entrusted with the responsibility of diluting the wine. The sophomore contingent of the club presented that sati¬ rical epic “Circe Was No Lady.” Latin Club Officers — Left to right: Mrs. Bodkin, spons.; S. Ward, treas.; G. Meyer, v. pres.; D.

BHS Latin Club Preserves Antiquity 21 GAA Competes for Honors Ninety members of GAA, spon¬ sored by Miss Naser, participated in volleyball, basketball, gymnas¬ tics and track. The volleyball team finished the season with a 2-4 record. Cindy Walzerand Debbie Schumm led the VB team in scoring while Linda Allen emerged as top scorer in basket¬ ball. The basketball team had a 3-3 record at the buzzer of the last game. The gymnastic team participated in both the Bellmont and New Haven meets. The Bell¬ mont score was 8-45 with our girls coming up on the short end. The New Haven meet was better matched with Bluffton losing 27- 42. The team also went to the sectional meet. The girls closed the year by treating their mothers to dinner at the annual awards’ banquet. These awards are given to top seniors and other GAA members earning enough points to receive pins and letters. Cheryl Crandall performs on the uneven parallel bars.

Real competitors are the intra¬ mural bowling men, under the sponsorship of Ray Roberson. Each Monday afternoon during the season, the mighty keglers strive to topple the ten pins for desired individual top score or team position. Difficult to beat was Andy Warrington, recognized as one of the better bowlers in the immediate area. Terry Potter was the group’s secretary, whose job it was to compile the scores each week. Geoff Fran ks’ team led the league throughout the year with the strength of A. War¬ rington, G. Morgan and T. Potter. Top row: S. Mailer, P. Lohmuller, K. Allen, A. Warrington, McConnehey, E.

Band Earns Superior Rating at NISBOVA The marching season for the high school band started in the summer months, as they parti¬ cipated in the Three Rivers Festi¬ val and the American Legion con¬ vention parade, placing excellent and second, respectively. The band entered the school year with excellent half-time shows at home football games and placed second at the Street Fair march¬ ing contest. The color guard unit placed second in the state con¬ test and eighteenth in the na¬ tional contest. Under the direction of Stan Roth, the high school band per¬ formed in their winter concert with Central’s junior high band. The band also participated in the annual festival, joining Bellmont and South Adams. The band brought home honors to BFIS, earning a superior rating from judges at NISBOVA. The concert season closed with the presenta¬ tion of the spring concert. Middle right: The brass section forms the nucleus of the marching band.

Choir Gains New Director and Interest With visions of quarter notes dancing in their heads, the Bluff- ton High School’s choir, under the instruction of Mrs. Shafer, concluded a fine year of activities by presenting vocal selections for the graduation services. Initiation of the 1972-73 sea¬ son was the annual Bluffton-Bell- mont-South Adams choir festi¬ val, held in October in the Bluff- ton auditorium. The combined choirs were under the direction of guest conductor Richard Jae¬ ger. The choir presented a convo¬ cation for the student body in the spring, previewing their NIS- BOVA selections, performed in the annual competition at Wal¬ ton. Concluding the year, the choir, along with the BHS concert band, presented a spring concert, held in May. Gathered for a song is the boys’ section: D. Fraughiger, E. Baumgartner, C. Zimmerman, W. Ley, J. Melching, P. Coffield, P. Evans, S. Okay, P. Jackson, P. Grogg, M. Grove, D. Walburn, G. Meyer, and Mrs. Shafer. Waiting to join in the ‘chorus’? Sopranos sing an octave above the rest!

Instrumentalists emphasize the beat. Swing Choir Gets With It, Expressing Themselves Musically Swing Choir, composed of 16 se¬ lect BHS students under the direc¬ tion of Stan Roth, performed at var¬ ious community functions through¬ out the school year. The boys wore attractive costumes of red and white while the girls donned red dresses with black collars. Among their singing engagements included programs for Rotary, Kiwanis, the Elks’ ladies, the Fish Fry and the annual Spring Concert. The popular group was accompanied by Glenn Collins on the drums, Phil Jackson on the bass and Stan Roth at the piano. Christine Shafer was choreo¬ grapher for the choir. Girls strive for perfection as they practice. FHA Plans for Future Left to right: L. Bisel, vice-pres; J. Wimmer treas; T. Vaughn, pres: C. Hochstedler, sec; Mrs. Nash, spons. The sales committee was composed of Gloria Hunt, Judy Shaft, and Vicki Haffner. Future Homemakers of Ameri¬ ca is a national organization of home economics students. The overall goal of the BHS club is to help individuals improve per¬ sonal, family and community liv¬ ing, now and in the future. During the past year, FHA was active in state and national or¬ ganization activities. In the spring, FHA finished the year with their annual tea. Y-Teen Girls Make the Activity Scene Vickie Haffner acts as the Y-Teen president this year. Mrs. Marvin Day serves at the Y-Teen Banquet.

Another active year has passed for the Y-Teens of Bluffton High School — a year filled with in¬ teresting programs, social events and area conferences. The Y- Teens, a subsidiary of the na¬ tional YWCA organization, is the largest student organization in the school. The girls work hard for their year’s most important events, the fall initiation, which is held at the Y-Teen banquet, and the spring tea. Highlight of the year is the Y-Teen banquet. 33 Mrs. Boonstra, sponsor; H. Biggs, pres; A. Matzen, v. pres; B. Krieg, sec; S. Kelly, treas. Jim DeArmond inspects another orna¬ ment. Dabblers Take a Cue From the Masters The Dabblers Club, composed of Art students and sponsored by Mrs. Boonstra, undertook a money raising project during the Christmas season of painting wooden ornaments. These were sold in the hall during the lunch hour and in front of Penney ' s. The money raised from these sales was used to finance the annual trip in the spring. Mr. Wietholter of Country Squire Flo¬ rist came and talked to the club about the necessary require¬ ments needed to become a flo¬ rist. On March 31, the club, under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Boonstra and other adults, jour¬ neyed to Columbus, Nashville and Bloomington. In Columbus, they went by bus on a two and one-half hour architectural tour of the interesting homes, schools and churches. In Nash¬ ville the group toured shops where handmade articles were for sale. In Bloomington they visited the Gallery where pieces of art were on exhibit as well as for sale. They then stopped for the evening meal and then it was back to Bluffton. The club com¬ pleted the year with the election of new officers to lead the club in the following year.

They produced dra¬ matic results at the 1972 Street Fair as many participated in a comedia del arte, in which mem¬ bers dressed as clowns and char¬ acters in fairy tales and perform¬ ed on the spur of the moment for interested children and adults. Club plans included a festival in which they acted out im¬ promptu scenes and pantomime for the enjoyment of the club. Aided by sponsor Miss Stude- baker and the members of the speech class, they performed a medley of plays for the student body in an educational and enter¬ taining convocation. Another group activity was the group attendance of several dra¬ matic productions in Fort Wayne. Topping off the year was the installation of officers for the next year.

Steve Fulton leaps for a reception. Led by the fourth most potent offense in Tiger football history, ihe Bluffton gridders rebounded from a dismal 1-6-3 record in 1971 to record a 5-5 record in 1972, good enough for a fourth place finish in the NEIC confer¬ ence. The Bengals’ offensive show, together with an aggressive de¬ fensive unit, produced victories over DeKalb, Angola, East Noble, South Adams and arch rival Nor- well. Igniting the Tiger offensive machine was senior Jeff Robles who reset four Tiger football re¬ cords including the most total yardage in a season and the most points scored in a season. Robles recorded 137 points, breaking a record that had stood for over forty years. In addition, Robles collected honorable mention All-State and first team All-NEIC Conference laurels. Ace receiver, Steve Ful¬ ton, also received All-NEIC Con¬ ference first team honors. Senior Tiger lineman, Fred Wenger, received third team honors in the NEIC conference. Receiving honorable mention in the NEIC conference were sen¬ ior team captain Greg Conley and senior end Chuck Barbieri. The Tiger defense closes for the kill.

Led by sophomore Glenn Collins, the team was entirely composed of underclassmen. Despite persistent bad weath¬ er, the netters were able to win the NEIC Conference crown and the singles title, while the team of John Miner-Mark Nicholas took runner-up honors in the doubles. In the Sectional, the young Ti¬ ger team placed third behind win¬ ner Muncie North and Union City. Collins annexed the singles title, only to be eliminated in the Re¬ gional by eventual State champ, Ron Stilhib of Peru. Left to right: M. Nicholas, Coach Oxenrider, R. Penrod, G. Collins, M.

Under the leadership of new head coach Ed Kershner, the Ti¬ ger cage squad gained a second place tie in the conference, a vast improvement over a ninth place finish a season ago. Beginning the season with a roar, the Tigers won their first six games before having their claws clipped by Portland in the Holiday Tourney. The Bengals never could regain their winning momentum as they split the re¬ mainder of their games. Leading the conference for a majority of the season, second- half season losses to DeKalb and South Adams cost the Tigers the conference crown. However, the Tigers gained some solace by re¬ cording convincing victories over conference powers New Haven and East Noble. The ‘center’ of the team was 6’ 6” senior Nick Gilgen, who led the squad in scoring and re¬ bounding. Supporting Gilgen in the front court were double digit shooters Gene Longenberger and Jeff Rob¬ les. Rick Milholland, Jeff Milhol- land, Rick Skiles and Steve Ful¬ ton added scoring strength and board muscle at their forward slots. The honorary captain distinc¬ tion was given to Rick Milholland, a two year starter. Jeff Robles pumps again! Center Nick Gilgen launches another two-pointer. 49 Rick Milholland eyes the basket.

Gaining the poise and experience necessary for varsity play, the Tiger jay- vees posted a respectable 11-9 record which included the Reserve Holiday Tournament Championship at South Adams. Under the tutelage of Tony Garton, the little Bengals performed well, al¬ though hampered somewhat by the pro¬ motion of personnel to bolster the varsity squad. At full strength, the Tiger cubs displayed their potential by reeling off six straight victories. Among the victims of the Tiger cage outfit were powerful Blackford, Garrett, DeKalb, Carroll and South Adams. However one of the Tigers’ stronger efforts was a two-point setback to county foe Norwell. Shooting at a 43 percent clip for the year, the little Tigers averaged nearly 45 points a contest. Leading this scoring barrage were Rick Skiles and Randy Penrod. Providing board muscle to the Tiger machine were Dave Dunwiddie, Wayne Harris, John Lockwood and Mark Grove.

The 1973 Tiger track team reaped the fruits of individual discipline after two years of re¬ building. For the first time, Bluffton won the four-way meet held an¬ nually with Blackford, Madison- Grant and Mississinewa. In addi¬ tion, Bluffton finished second to DeKalb in the NEIC conference meet, the highest finish in the school’s history, and placed sec¬ ond at the Bi-County meet. New school records: 440 Dash — R.

If the sun doesn’t shine in Mudville or Bluffton this summer, baseball fans will know the ans¬ wer. With only four seniors re¬ turning from the sectional cham¬ pionship team of 1972, the 1973 baseball squad only managed one regular season victory going into the sectional. Providing an erratic hitting at¬ tack were Keith Arnold, Boyd Penrod, Gene Longenberger and Glen Morgan. Mark Cobb, who recorded the only victory, Wayne Harris and Rick Anderson were the aces of the underclass-laden pitching staff that lacks only the experience for success in 1974.

Under the direction of Don Keller, the Tiger golf team rec¬ orded two victories over Hunting- ton and also pinned defeats on Heritage and Huntington Catho¬ lic. Placing eighth in the NEIC conference meet, the Tiger golf¬ ers were paced by senior Dave Smith, who carded a 79. The Tiger golfers pulled a minor up¬ set by finishing second in the Bi-County with a combined total of 332. Carrying the golf bags and the Tiger golfing hopes, in addition to Smith, were Kelley Anspach, Rick Skiles. Phegley and the two Skileses will return for 1974.

Re¬ member you’re just an under¬ ling, so bow low. Oh, your books fell to the floor? Have another stick of bubblegum? Ride in my car? Forget it. Walk, sophomore, walk. Take my tray back.Oh, are you only a sophomore? Gee, too bad. Look impressed, I’m a sen¬ ior! This is a typical day in the life of sophomores at BHS as the upperclassmen heckle them in their first year in high school. But the year won’t last forever. The tenth graders spend their days struggling through drivers’ training, saving money for class rings, selling candy to build up their treasury, remembering how important they felt as freshmen at Central and praying their jun¬ ior year will soon be here be¬ cause then they can study with¬ out worrying about such trivia.

Zello Seniors Say It All Patricia Adkins Vicki Andrew Kelly Anspach Keith Arnold Janet Aschliman Charles Barbieri ‘“Beauty is truth, truth beau¬ ty,’ — that is all Ye know on earth and all ye need to know.” The poet Keats was not writing about the experiences of high school students, but he could have. The experiences one can capture and preserve are just as vivid as those Keats saw in an ancient Greek urn. The beauty, as the saying goes, belongs to the beholder. The end of the high school year will spell the end for a number of relationships, experi¬ ences and bonds. Each will dis¬ sipate as each student goes his way in life. But the truth and beauty of these relationships, experiences and bonds will never disappear. As long as memories can be actualized and acquaint¬ ances relived, the vitality and vividness of school life will per¬ petuate. An empty hallway ... a filled gymnasium . . . the sonorous tones of a lecture . . . the silent conversation between two stu¬ dents ... All these will perpet¬ uate. Truth and beauty is all ye need to know on earth.

Per¬ forming in the round under the direction of Miss Hilda Stude- baker, the juniors presented ‘‘Of Poems, Youth and Spring,” ‘‘The Box” and “The Seekers.” John Logan’s “Of Poems, Youth and Spring,” displayed in kaleidoscopic scenes, told of two youths’ search for genuine love. With action confined to a phone booth, “The Box” by Peter Brooks attempted to express the an¬ xiety of a condemned man. “The Seekers” by Neil Greene reemphasized the tragic results of those who defy the reality of death.

The Impossible Years For their annual stage presen¬ tation, the seniors of Bluffton High School presented “The Im¬ possible Years.” The play was a satirical setting of a college pro¬ fessor and the problems that come with his teen-age daughter. From bizzare pool parties and weekend retreats to marriage, Professor Kinsley attempted to take all of these experiences in stride. Through the confu¬ sion of the teenager growing up, the professor received his due reward with the marriage of his daughter, marking her maturity into adulthood. Led by a strong cast, the play was presented before a very re¬ ceptive audience. The audience was able to associate many per¬ sonal experiences with the play and responded eagerly toward the wit andhumorof the play.
