Ei ttt Diamond Nine Basically Seniors Although Bluffton ' s baseball team spasmodically showed evi¬ dence of drive plus ability, the team ' s errors during the season were mainly responsible for the 3-14 wins, losses re¬ corded at the close of the school year. According to Coach Garton the two most prominent wins were Bellmont and Norwell. Considered outstanding player for the Tiger nine was Lee Pearson, first baseman and top batter. Outfielder Rick Skiles and catcher Gary Carpenter showed prowess throughout the season, aided in their efforts by Rick Anderson who divided his time between track and the mound. Underclassmen expected to re¬ turn as leading performers next year are Phil Kleinknight and Doug Dohrman, since their season ' s actions indicated promise. Eight lettermen will boost the 76 team. This year ' s new reserve coach is Ken Ballinger who feels the freshmen will bring an upsurge to the Tigers ' wins.

' ± Golf Team Tees Off As spring came to BHS, the golf team swung into action. With four returning seniors at the helm and strong underclassmen right behind them, the team leaped onto the course to place second in their first meet against Adams Central and South Adams. During the season, the team had a few very close matches, such as their loss to East- brook by one stroke. The team rounded out the season at 4-10. Six golfers earned major letters while six more earned minor letters. Coach Brown commented, I feel that the golf team has a good future to look forward to. I. Golf team. Front Row: M. Maulding, T.

Jim Graves, Doug Keller and Glenn Collins escorted the senior candidates Laurel Lampton, Marcia Neuenschwander and Denise Coyne to the float platform, while Brian Wetters escorted junior princess Pam Nowak, and Pat Meyer es¬ corted sophomore princess Tammy Troxel. As the parade of beauties made its way to the colorful float, Masters of Ceremony Gloria Kipfer and Dave Almdale reiterated each girl ' s com¬ ments to the question, What do memories mean to you? After crowning Denise, Principal Laws presented her a dozen roses, kissed her on the cheek and escort¬ ed her off the field. Following the Tigers ' victorious game, 210 students and friends attended a dance, featuring Sundog, in the school cafeteria. Prior to the homecoming, energetic students converted a hay wagon into a float, reflecting the theme “Yesterday Once More. The multi¬ colored float portrayed a park scene accented with old street lamps. If one were sitting among the many friends, parents and faculty mem¬ bers during the pep rally at Wilson Field, he might have seen “Rooski Walburn recapture his title as “the fastest tricycle racer in Bluffton or Tim Oswalt and Mark Collins shine up their Catmobile. Other highlights of the evening included a skit pre¬ sented by each class, sack races, tug- of-war contests and the main event, featuring the cheerleaders, five football players and their “kissing mothers. 56 . i 1.

BHS Man Finds His Place in the Home Make Your Own Kind of Music n BHS heard music coming from band room at a new hour of the day this past year. This was a re¬ sult of another of Bluffton ' s new courses entitled Music Theory. This course is designed to study the breakdown of the basic ele¬ ments and structure of music. Em¬ phasis includes the learning of various scale constructions, music notation and form commonly found in most all types of music. Music Theory, instructed by Stan Roth, is an essential for any per¬ son entering the music field. It develops a person much more because he is learning how to create music rather than just play¬ ing it from a score. Just think, someday maybe the person who sat beside you in homeroom will be another Burt Bacharach. I. Mr. Roth notes that this combination makes a harmonious sound. 2. Group. 3. G. Collins points out a problem while J. Paxson listens intently. 4. No, Gary, it sounds better like this. 5. D. Poindex¬ ter, C. Williams and K. Harsh prepare for class. 6. This is one of the many books that are used by the young composers. 60 ■ «§ Who Said You Can ' t Change History? Many changes have taken place at BHS this year, among them, a breakthrough in the history cur¬ riculum. Besides a few of the re¬ quired courses, the students are allowed to enroll in subdivisions that appeal to their interests. The experience is rewarding to teachers as well as students. Teachers man their battle stations with new teaching techniques and controversial ideas while students fire back with a conglomeration of re¬ sponses. The history department put much time and effort into compiling a new selection of books and pamphlets to aid in the under¬ standing of domestic and inter¬ national affairs. Instead of chang¬ ing the course of history, BHS merely changed its history courses. 1. Large lecture class is just one of the social sci¬ ence department ' s new innovations. 2. With all these books a student can ' t help learning some¬ thing. 3. The history instructors are Mr. Kershner, Mr. Kracium, Mr. Burkhart, Mr. Oxenrider, Mr. Roberson, Mr. Fischer. 4. Mr. Oxenrider and Mr. Kracium put in extra hours stamping and prepar¬ ing the new books for all their “wear ' n ' tear. i ? .i ICE Students Receive On the Job Training BHS students obtained voca¬ tional training this past year by enrolling in one of the apprenticeship programs offered in our curriculum. This work release program, entitled Interdisci¬ plinary Cooperative Education, provided students the opportunity to earn money and to plan their futures in the business world. The popular course, supervised by Mr. Brown and Mrs. Nash, consisted of approximately 38 students and 26 different employers. The instructors and some of the ICE students are pictured in 5. Jobs ranging from agriculture, as shown by M. Studebaker in picture 1, to secretarial training, illustrated by D. Miller in picture 4, were just a few of the various occu¬ pations. Other divisions of employment include restaurant help and floristry. R. Jeffries, in picture 3, and S. Eisenhut and C. Moser, shown with their employer in picture 2, depict these jobs, respectively. The basic requirements of the class demand the student be a senior and work a minimum of 15 hours a week. The class instruction supplies general informa¬ tion relating to all of the various occupations. The students learn to complete applications and contract forms to establish good employer-employee relation¬ ships and to learn crediting, banking, and other concerns of business. Cadet Teachers on the Move in Classrooms Most of the cadet teachers taught for two hours each school day. Their duties consisted of such ac¬ tivities as conducting science ex¬ periments, designing bulletin boards, aiding students with make¬ up work, supervising recess, collect¬ ing lunch money and leading in learning games. Through the guidance of Mr. Brown, the course of cadet teaching became a successful part of BHS. Cadet teaching is designed to give students, who plan further educa¬ tion after high school, the oppor¬ tunity to see if they would be in¬ terested in a teaching career. 1. M. Steffen and B. Miller, under the supervision of Mrs. Fritz and Mrs. Brubaker, instruct the children in special reading techniques at Columbian school. 2. D. Steffen uses patience and understanding when working with her students at the Adams-Wells Training Center. It is located in Vera Cruz and is under the direction of Mr. Reed and Mrs. Adams. 3. C. Barbieri, J. Croy and C. Williams spent their mornings at East Side assisting Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Hernandez and Mrs. Sellers, respectively. 4. It ' s library time at Poplar Grove with M. Moser, P.

The program teaches the student a specific skill and assigns him to a learning occupational situation in or outside the Center. 1.

Students Plan Careers BHS Joins MD Fight The Student Council sponsored a 50 ' s day to raise money for muscular dystrophy, April 25. This money is being used to support a world-wide research to find a solution to dystrophy and other disorders of the neuromuscular unit. BHS students supported the fund¬ raising drive by displaying the fashions of the 50 ' s from bobby socks and ponytails to short pants and slicked-backed hair. Each student who participated in the activities was aksed to contribute 25 cents to the MD fund. A total of $75.80 was collected from the students. Mr. Burkhart ' s senior homeroom was high with $8.31. The junior and sophomore homerooms that were tops were Mr. Garton ' s and Mr. Vardaman ' s with $6.70 and $4.60 respectively. 1. Best dressed P.

Rugg, What can I say? 4 65 The graduating class of 1975 pre¬ sented James M. Barrie ' s four-act play “The Admirable Crichton. The play is a satirical comedy por¬ traying a breakdown of the bar¬ riers between English aristocrats and their servants when they are forced to adjust in an en¬ vironment that is “unnatural to them. To add proper atmosphere, the 20- member cast spoke with English accents. Mrs. Rose, assisted by four student directors and re¬ liable “behind the scene work¬ ers, made the enjoyable pre¬ sentation possible. The plot developed the idea of how one ' s hidden characteristics are exposed when isolated from society ' s standards on a desert isle. This is brought out as Crich¬ ton changes his role from a hum¬ ble servant to that of a domineer¬ ing governor of a colony and his former peers become his sub¬ jects.

Juniors Earn Right to Applause The BHS juniors turned the evening of March 21 into a night of villainy as they presented three melodramas in the round: Her Heart Belongs to Heartburn, Dark Doings at the Crossreads and Alias Smedley Pew- tree. Melodrama is characterized by im¬ possible actions, ridiculous characters, ludicrous dialogue and exaggerated passion. In addition to these charac¬ teristics the juniors made use of the black stovepipe hat and the mustache as accessories to the villain, and of course the hero wore a white hat while dressed in colors signifying goodness. The receptive audience responded to the dramatic presentations by ap¬ plauding for the honest hero, sighing for the pretty heroine, sympathizing with the victim and hissing at the villain. The plays, directed by Miss Hilda Studebaker, were creative, imagina¬ tive and thoroughly enjoyed by the cast and audience. 1. Sheriff Horn reminisces of her earlier days at Glitter Gulch. 2. T. Oswalt desperately tries to awaken the mysteri¬ ous old flower woman who will reveal the secret of Glitter Gulch. 3. What was that — you want me to marry her? M. Luginbill exclaims. 4.

Osborn, D. Gilliom, B. Wetters, J. Craft, P. Runyon, J. Haecker and M. Makowski. 8. T. Colen, T. Conley and S. Gitlin serve as student directors. 9. T. Schneider awaits his light cue. 10. D. Poindexter makes the final touches. B Seniors Tread From Lollipops to Roses As the class of 1975 and their guests drifted through the doors of BHS to attend the Junior-Senior Reception, memories filled their heads of growing up. Visions of lollipops, huge teddy bears, the typical lemonade stand, and picket fences enveloped their thoughts of childhood, only to lead them through a tunnel of adolescent experiences. Walking through the doors of time reminded them that they had finally reached the adult stage of roses, beauty, responsibilities and love. Here the evening of festivities began. The junior class portrayed the transition of the lolli¬ pops to roses through the leadership of the committee chairmen. Pandy Squires headed the whole panorama, directing the following committees and their supervisors: entrance, Leslie Steckbeck; floor, Tim Gerber; stage, Lisa Sallach; table decorations, Peggy Ellenberger; seating, Jan Aeschliman; enter¬ tainment, Mark Collins; tables, chairs and windows, Mark Makowski; coronation, Pam Nowak; clean-up, Mike Carr. The success of the seniors ' last prom will not only leave a lifelong memory but also a reminder that, even though the sticks of their lollipops have changed to stems of roses, one should never lose the childlike qualities of the past while maintaining the maturity of today, the present. 1. Juniors and seniors chose as their royal court (Seated) King G. Carpenter and Queen D. Lockwood; (Standing) 1st Attendants, G. Collins and L. Lampton; 2nd Attendants, Max Edington and Gloria Kipfer. 2. Without Mr. Garton ' s push-and-pull (and his wife ' s patience), the juniors could not have made the prom so memorable. 3.

Mr. Edwin Prible, along with members of the school board, worked for the addition of the north wing of BHS and the plans for the new auditorium to be built next year. Under the direction of Mr. Prible and Mr. Laws, the faculty de¬ veloped new and interesting ed¬ ucational opportunities for BHS students. Among these are the vocational program, cadet teach¬ ing, work release and elective history and English courses. But having outstanding admini¬ strators to lead the way isn ' t the only criterion for a success¬ ful high school. The teachers, counselors, students, secretaries, cooks, bus drivers, and janitors complete the BHS picture.

Orison S. Marden Their school days behind them, the sen¬ iors face the future with mixed feelings. Now the graduates must decide who they will be and find what they wish to do. But they don ' t enter the future unpre¬ pared; they have 12 years of school to look back on in retrospect. They alone have the ability to shape their own thoughts and destiny. What the seniors become is totally up to their own talents and desires. The Class of 75 ' is stepping up to accept a promising future. Graduating class officers of 1975 were D. Lock- wood, treasurer; S. Swisher, vice-president; D. Barrick, secretary; G.

And the time has come when all that ' s left is looking back, and the past can only settle itself in death like ashes from a sunset fire that burns itself out with the dawn of Today, but leaves its flaming star in my Yesterday mind. And now I know that even if each fragile day were made to last a hundred thousand years, I would never know the reality of time enough: time enough for growing time enough for searching time enough for sharing, all that I have tor sharing. And now, seeing the end, and hearing the lonely echo of its song, I know that I have let the days drift too quickly away, too empty away. And all that endures is an endless void filled only by questions that tear at me with their unwanted Truths. But this one thing I understand: My sorrow is not without purpose. It teaches me that Life has been good, for I would have known no sadness had I not loved you everyone. Melanie Bowen, Yorktown 1973
