Through a long study of science and experiment, man has created a world of convenience that has been unexcelled. So great a civilization as ours, however, must point to some great thing of the past that has brought about such a state. We point with pride to the education centers of our wonderful country and say, Therein lies the latent contribution of our generation. Yesterday's gradu- ates are doing their bit to make the plane of civili- zation even higher. Therefore we take great ples- ure in paying tribute to educators such as Dewey, Morrison, Kilpatrick, Thorndike, Koos and countless others for the splendid results their efforts have brought about. It is the inHuence of these great men that has brought about the highest standard of education known on the face of the globe. SQ WZ WQWIFIWIFC? z Q34 DICATIO 'I'O Dr. J. S.

Day by day these are molded into the making of character. 1lThese ex- periences in time become a matter of memories. It is well that some of these are preserved in the pages of this book. 1lPleasant experiences leave happy memories. In the environment of a Chris- tian institution there should be much that is rich and worth while to store in the treasure house of the mind to be preserved throughout life.

Minus some of the familiar faces, plus a few new recruits, the class of '38 reached the I haven't read my lesson stage of college last fall, a much changed and less naive group of fellows and co-eds than they were two years ago as green yearlings. The youngsters of two years ago soon snapped out of it, however, and have since been proving their worth in scholastic, athletic, dramatic, musical, religious and journalistic circles. This year has proved to be no ex- ception to the established rule. Harriet Criblez has guided us safely through the junior play and the annual junior-senior banquet this year as our president. Her assistant was Phillip Merrill while George Wimmer was the man who took the money and Albert Bohrer was secretary. 1 11 1 HARRIET CRIBLEZ . CHARLES PATTERSON EMMA R.

Not in pictui Thirty-one Thirty-two f-A VVWE learn by doing has long been a maxim of great educators. The greatest of these educators who have upheld this principle have been our parents. Executives of Bluffton have carried on the work of our absent guardians and have given us ample opportunity to participate in activities in which it has been the opportunity of students alone to take active part. Extra-class activities on our campus have been of the highest type and of the most value for the student either for additional practical training or for simple relaxation. Each student has the opportuniy to partici- pate in as many activities as his scholastic standing will warrant him. The small number of participants prac- tically assures him of an important place in the club's activities. In this way each student gets into the thick of things. Here again, he is limited only by his own capabilities to rise to the topmost office. All oficers are elected Without the customary collegiate politics and favoritism. Bluffton's extra-curricular activities are primarily for the benefit of the students and are controlled by them. Participation, then, leads to the development of a sounder mind and body. It aids us to see this world about us as it really is and what must be conquered before all goes fairly well. Following the development stage participation brings us to mastery. When we have mastered we have learned. NVitness these following pages and see what student organizations can do for their members. Thifr ty-tlvree fi-.-.... r 5 U. V E H H I .

THE Student Senate is the legislative and judiciary body of student government and performs the func- tion of recognizing student opinion. Among the projects originated this year were the re- vision of the method electing homecoming queen, the sponsorship of a traditions test based on facts con- cerning Bluffton college, and the conduction of a Peace Day demonstration. Realizing the inadequacy of the present system the Senate under the direction of Ray Heiks has proposed a new unicameral system of student government. The reorganized body is to be a student council supplemented by an advisory cabinet composed of leaders of campus president and organizations.

At no time during the year did the paper fail to appear on the scheduled date. Further- more, on several occasions special editions of the Wit were published. We pride ourselves on establishing in greater measure a well-balanced and impartial program of publicity. Then too, Bluffton, like so many colleges and universities, has a certain amount of inertia on public affairs, collegiate and otherwise, that only a newspaper can remove. We have strived earnestly to guide and direct student opinion in the right direction. Again we hope we have succeeded.

When the club was organized a numlbefr of years ago, its objective was to give the co-eds wholesome exercise and recreation. Weekly meetings began in September and continued throughout the year. Outstanding features for this year were: The introduction of archery on the campus, aiding in the Homecoming activities, presiding with concessions at the football games, participating in the Leap-week program, selling lacquered Beaver pins on the campus as a project, and climaxing' the program with the an- nual Varsity B breakfast in June. The letters, this year, were earned by participating in seventy-five hours of activities including tennis, swim- ming, skating, volley ball, hiking, baseball, archery, basketball, and ping pong. The club was captained by Melba Lombard of Gomer, Ohio. She was capably assisted by Secretary Harriet Criblez, Treasurer, Lucille Niswander, and Ann Backensto hospians STUDYING and then presenting dramas is the purpose and contribution of the Thespian Society, campus dramatic organization. The study phase of the group this year centered around the historical development of the drama and the modern theater. Starting with the beginning of plays in Ancient Greece, their growth was traced through the Roman contribution, the Medieval drama, and the Eliza- bethan Theatre up to the present. Reviving a tradition of the presentation of a Christ- mas play by the Thespians, the society presented The Boy on the Meadows as the first feature of the produc- tion phase. The climax of the organization's activities was reached with the staging of William Shakespeare's immortal As You Like It amid the natural setting of the campus as the Thespians' contribution to the Commencement Week program. Barbara Hauenstein headed the dramatic group this year. Other officers included: Merle Ramseyer, vice- presidentg Genevieve Borden, secretaryg Christine Sherer, treasurerg P. W.

Programs have been presented before 5,000 people in 36 programs in four states. Besides presenting pro grams in the Mennonite churches of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Illinois, the group has appeared over the radio, on campus programs, in local churches and in other institutions such as Missions, Orghanages and Old Peop1e's Homes. Recent efforts of the group has seen the formulation of two scholarships and a fund of dele conference. The gates to the Bethel group will culminate its activities for the year with a trip to the E.

Due to the increased enrollment of students from Pennsylvania and New York, the membership of the club also grew. This club is part of the alumni East Coast Club which frequently holds meetings in the Keystone State during vacations. Probably the outstanding event of the year was the scrapple feed or lunch which was held at President Rosenberger's home. The scrapple was sent to the club by Mr. V. C. Backensto. Altho this lunch is always a rushed affair it is always thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Ramseyer, Berg, Rindfuss, Thutl.. Ebersole. THIS year the House Councils of Ropp Hall and Lin- coln Hall were headed by Ann Ebersole and Ray Heiks respectively. Ann, who last year felt sure that you cant Worry and be happy too, has found that household troubles do bring on feelings very much akin to worry. But happi- ness never seems far oif at Ropp, and troubles like bubbles soon burst and are gone. Ray, the acclaimed perfect combination of Casanova and Earl Averill has found, as head of the men's dorm, that boy troubles, like girl troubles, while of a different character, can be quite bothersome and wearing at timesg and yet, withal, enlightening and broadening. The house organizations are elected by and composed entirely of students of the respective halls under the guidance of Miss Moon, dean of women during the absence of Miss Ramseyer, and Ivan Qlkej Badertscher, dean of men, who are ex-officio members of the house councils. This form of dormitory government ofers splendid disciplinary training for students as well as a practical demonstration of democratic cooperation and responsi- bility in group conduct. !

The setting of the drama arose out of the legend of the feuds and the backwoods romances of the Kentucky mountains. Stern mountain pustices, furies, vanishing traditions, and romance intermingled to make it a stir- ring drama of typical mountain life. Throughout, it was closely packed with the fast moving drama of embittered families in conHict with the justice of governmental courts other than their own. With the support of a well chosen cast the play proved to be a great success. Excellent acting was performed by amateur -players. CHARACTERS Mam1ny Goodson Sally Holston . .

F ofrty-seven Forty-eight en'5 Debate Ram seyer Tschantz Mast Lauer Miller Moyer BUILDING a nucleus around James Miller and Stanley Tschantz, Coach StauH'er developed two debating teams that ranked high in the Ohio Conference forensic circles. The conference debate was: Resolved, That the several states should adopt the unicameral system of legislature' Lane McCrate, former Columbus Grove High debater, introduced the negative case. Merle Ramseyer of Normal, Illinois, was chosen as second speaker while Stanley Tschantz, returning from last year's team concluded the arguments. Wilbur Lauer, a member of last year's squad, was chosen to introduce the affirmative case. Russell Mast who had previous speaking experience, spoke second and James Miller was anchor man. By winning five of their eight in the state tournament Bluffton received third place in competition with sixteen other colleges. - omen'5 Debate ARSITY women debaters climaxed their forensic ' ' ' t d bate v activities by placing third in the annual sta e e tournament in Columbus after an active season of de- bating with colleges and universities of the Ohio league. Th nference debate question: Resolved, That the e co several states should enact uniform marriage and di- vorce laws was ably met by the affirmative team com- posed of Coy Pepple, Alice Olewine, and Genevieve Stein, while the attack was carried by the negative team com- prised of Margaret Triplett, Carol Poe, and Donita Hartzler. Evelyn Burkhard and Christine Sherer par- ticipated as alternates. This year saw the revival of women's debate which d' ction of as introduced in earlier years under the ire w Prof. W. A. Howe, but was abandoned when competitive teams were few. l J c , , v. X WJ f JB5 4 Xl X N wt Kwf J v. . X 'Vs bommcr Pepple Stein Burkhard Poe Shercr T ri pl ett '-sa... Fofrty-nine . M. C. A.

A. to have a part in making the world Christian and to lead people to accept the Christian way of life. The local organization of the Y. M. C. A. is an important organi- zation in promoting Christian life on the campus. To- ward a Christian Personality was the motto for the year and was coined by Russell Mast, president of th organization. The weekly meetings have brought us face to face with great religious and moral problems which are fac- ing the world today. Visiting speakers, ministers, faculty and students gave addresses and led in the discussion of what the program of youth may be to meet these prob- lems. We feel that the Y. M. C. A. is one of the lead- ing Christian organizations on the campus. B . W. C. A. ATERING to the spiritual, social and physical sides of life, the local Y. W. C. A. has completed a very successful year under the leadership of Alma Hilty. The outstanding and unique contribution of this year's Y was the purchase of two new Olsen rugs for the Y room, which is used by the organization and its cabinet for their weekly meetings. Among the events sponsored by the campus religious group for co-eds were the Mixer and Week of Prayer services in collaboration with the Y. M. C. A., the Big and Little Sister tea, a joint meeting with the high school Girl Reserves, the Geneva banquet, the Siweeitheart Sister party, and various candlelight services besides the regular Wednesday night meetings.

Fifty one Maxeen Bialer, Stall 'Harriet Crlblez, e Music LUFFTON'S music department during the past years has gained for itself an important place in campus extra-curricular activities and in neighborhood music cir- cles. Our able music staif has turned out some of the finest music teachers in the state. Much credit is due them for their splendid work. During the past few years our choir and glee club have made excellent gains in promoting the cause of aesthetic appreciation. Along with the orchestra and the quartet they number more participants than any other department on the campus. These students have gained much favorable comment from their listeners and from critics. Skillful and untiring effort together with the capable directorship of Prof. Lantz have made our choir one of the best of its kind. Aside from singing at the monthly vesper services, pre- senting concerts in neighboring towns, and being a large part of the group which renders the Messiah and Bach's Christmas Oratorio, the choir climaxed its season with a third annual extensive concert tour. The tour of 2500 miles included the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebrasa. Officers for the past year were: President, Harold Kaufman, business manager, Wade Lapeg secretary, Lu- cille Niswanderg treasurer, John Maidlowg reporter, Christine Miller. First row--L.

BLUFFTON College has always demanded fine music from its students. The Men's Glee club, under the direction of Prof. Russell A. Lantz, attempts to uphold their share of this tradition. The club was organized a short time before the Ohio Intercollegiate Glee club contest held May 1, at Denison University for the purpose of defending the State Cham- pionship title won the previous year. The club under the student direction of Lawrence Evans met in competi- tion: Denison U., Capital U., Wooster College, and Kent State University and was awarded second place. The contest was the only public appearance of the club this season 3 however, plans are being made to make a tour of the eastern states and Canada next spring. As a. result of its fine performances this year and last the club is once more a prominent part of Bluffton's school life. Fifty-three Fifty-foufr Orchestra L. Niswander, E. Marshall, QBurkholde1'.

UCCESSFULLY completing its thirty-third season, the Bluffton College Orchestra this year again added its contribution to the tradition of fine music at Bluffton college under the leadership of Prof. Sidney Hauenstein, founder and first conductor of the organization. As has been the custom, the orchestra accompanied the Choral society and the guest soloists in a presentation of the famous Christmas oratoria, The Messiah by Handel. In addition to this, the orchestra journeyed to Berne, Indiana, to accompany a choral group there in the same oratorio. At Pandora during the Easter season, mem- bers of the orchestra assisted in a presentation of the Seven Last Words by Dubois. The orchestra has always sponsored the best in music, not only at the college, but in the community. Musicians of the community who have enjoyed playing good music have supplemented the college group. Much credit is due to Prof. Hauenstein and the members of the orches- tra for their fine work this year. Quartet PERHAPS one of the most colorful improvements and strides in B1uffton's music department in recent years has been that of the Quartet. In a few odd years repre- sentatives of this voice group have made it one of the most outstanding music organization on the campus. During the past year they have made great gains in promoting the welfare of Bluffton. They have appeared before a number of high school audiences throughout Ohio, and the Middlewest. This year they accompanied the choir on its Western tour and sang as part of the general program. More recently they have appeared on radio programs from various radio stations in the state. They have done much to make the name Bluffton college a by-word among the youth of this state. ' In other states they have endeared themselves to the hearts of music lovers.

They, like the tiny woodsman, are members of a small college family but when the year closes they have done their work and done it well for their size. There is no creature more skillful and industrious than the beaver. Often times Bluffton teams take the field against stronger and bigger opponents. Voted the under-dog by many counts, the mighty little Beavers leave the field victorious, still humble as the beaver who has felled a mighty oak many times his size. Much credit is due Coach A. C. Burcky for his splendid leadership. The skillful man is the successful man. Size does not count. Fifty-seven Fifty-eight arsity First row-Coon. Merrill. Heiks. Diehl, Lora. Patterson, Heeley.

In at- tempting to attain this goal this active working organi- zation has met regularly throughout the school year in promoting a well balanced program. Outstanding achievements of the club were the sponsor- ing of a successful Homecoming, the annual Varsity breakfast, a highlight of the commencement week activi- ties, an intramural program of football, basketball and baseball, and the furthering of a wholesome school spirit. Officers for the year included Walter Diehl, who served as president, Charles Bartholomew, secretary-treasurer, and Coach A. C. Burcky, club advisor.

BURCKY, reviewing the past events of the gridiron encounters stated, This is the best team we have had in the history of Bluffton college. The Purple and the White showed more brilliantly this year than ever before. With little more than a few short days to condition his men Burcky took his Beavers to Springfield on Sep- tember 26 where they met their first opposition from the NVitte'nberg Lutherans. The fighting Mennonites out- charged and out-played the downstaters to emerge vic- torious with a 19 to 12 victory. Walt Diehl, Bluffton's stellar fullback, was the outstanding star of the game. His errorless passing proved to be too much for Witten- berg. Aiding him on the receiving end were Creel, Lora and. Miller. These backs made the remaining opponents sit up and take notice of Bluffton's physical machine . Scoring was divided between Miller and Diehl. Traveling to Detroit for the second game on October 3 to meet the highly touted Wayne University eleven, the Purple and White aggregation was up against its toughest assignment of the year. The strong Michigan crew held Michigan State in check a few weeks earlier. The game, however, was evenly played with both teams earning scoring opportunities. Wayne scored on breaks following the continual check-backs of the Burckymen. A blocked punt and a returned kick resulted in Michigan scores. Enio Penza, strongest first year man, was lost to the team for the remainder of the season due to a severe knee injury he received in the first few minutes of the game. The final score was Wayne 13, Bluffton 0. On October 10, Earlham entertained the Mennonite visitors in a mud puddle. In a sea of mud and water Bluffton and Earlham played a hard fought game which ended in a scoreless tie. Had the field been in a more favorable condition it is believed that the Quakers could not have stopped the Burcky air attack. Dutch Lud- wig displayed his defensive colors in this game, proving that even mud cannot stop a good man. A week's lay-off proved valuable for on October 16 a devastating hurricane seemed to have stormed into the Findlay stadium and blew the Findlay Orange and Black to bits to the tune of 26 to 0.

Before more than five minutes of the game had been spent a long pass netted Bluifton their first touchdown. After that the Kissell coached men were out of the running. Girard's Kenneth Altier and the surprise four in the backfield carried home all honors this day. Seeking to avenge a surprise draw of the season be- fore the Beavers were determined to send Rio Grande home with another victory feather in their helmets. A powerful attack felled the Southern foes 21 to 0. On October 24 Burcky proved that his reserve strength was equally as strong as his playing group. A large Homecoming crowd sew the Beavers and De- I'iance's Yellow Jackets take part in a battle of brawn and determination on November 7. Bluffton had several scoring opportunities during the afternoon but couldn't seem to convert when necessary. Defiance, however, was no set-up with their formidable opposition throughout. Although the game ended in a scoreless tie it was evenly matched and while not winning the Beavers waged a pleasing ball game for the spectators. Hit 'im with my head Riddle was the outstanding line wall in this game. November 14 found the Beavers in Canada, fighting the Canadian Fighting Irish . Assumption went down in defeat like their predecessors, this time to a 14 to nothing count. Graduation will leave Coach without the services of Creel, Ludwig, Diehl and Ignat. M..

Mullett. Detweiler, Ramseger, Backensbo, Vanllman HANDICAPPED by the loss of two of its outstanding point-getters of last year's squad, Coach A. C. Burcky's quintet showed considerable flashes of last yea1 s team and came through the season with a good account of themselves. Four lettermen were lost to next year's squad through graduation. Among these are Jim Creel and Walt Diehl who have held down varsity berths since their freshmen year. Ray Heiks and Charles Bartholomew are the other two seniors who will not be back next year. Mullett, Detweiler, Ramseyer and Merrill are the returning lettermen. The Beavers opened the 1936-37 campaign by losing to a very fast and clever Toledo University five, 40-26. The fine defensive work of Mullett was the outstanding feature of this encounter. Next the locals defeated Giffin college very easily, 32-27, with the reserves play- ing most of the game. Coach Burcky's Beavers than traveled to Bowling Green, where they were administered a 32-19 setback. This game was a loosely contested tilt and the locals showed little of their old zip. Still taking to the road the purple and white met Cedarville and came back with a 42-29 reverse. Playing Concordia of Ft. Wayne the Burckymen looked like the team of a year ago and turned the Hoosiers back by the overwhelming score of 64-28. Traveling to Findlay to meet the Orangemen the Beavers fell 35-20. A disastrous first half spoiled the locals chances for victory. Meeting the Wilmington Quakers on the downstate court, the locals were handed a 49-23 setback in their second conference tilt. The Millermen presented a fast- stepping aggregation that piled up a commanding lead which the Burckymen were unable to overcome. Playing Wilberforce college, the Burckymen met de- feat, 47-37, at the hands of a smooth and fast-working colored five. Invading Ohio Northern's camp the Burckymen put 05 a fast-stepping Lamb quintet to triumph in an over- time contest 36-35. The locals displayed the best show- ing of the season in this tilt. RBIBSEYGTIS basket in the last minute gave the Beavers the narrow margin of victory. The Burckymen next journeyed to Deiance to be bet- tered in a well played conference game, 37-32. Returning home for the last three games of the sea- son the Beavers lost their second game to Cedarville, 49-27. The downstaters presented a very aggressive ball club and piled up a lead too great for the locals. Play- ing Findlay college for the second time, the locals tri- umphed 45-34. Jim Creel, with 24 points to his credit, was the outstanding man on the floor. Closing their schedule the Beavers met the highly touted Kent State University five to be bested only after a fierce battle, 38-33.

I'RACK attempts in 1937 were handicapped by bad weather, consequently the purple and white thinly clads competed in only two meets. In the first meet of the year Bluffton was defeated by a strong Ohio North- ern team 89-42. The only other meet that the Beavers engaged in was a six-way meet held at Toledo. Tho Bluffton tracksters recorded only one first place in the meet with the honor going to Tetlow in the pole vault. Tetlow reached the height of 11', 93 , The Beaver tracksters had a strong team with Stover, Fretz, Lora, and Tetlow as dash meng Kinsey, Detweiler, Davidson and Bohrer in the distance runs, and Diehl, Tetlow, Stover, Esterhay, Fretz and Allebach in the field events. With the return of all these men, with exception of Diehl, next year, the outlook is promising. There was no organized tennis team this season. Ohio Northern 89 . . . Bluffton 42 Bowling Green 63 .
