Others say it's loyalty, hut we of the Ista Staff prefer to remember the Bluffton College Spirit, as one of humility . . . exemplified in the man we dedicate this hook to . . . Professor J. P. Klassen. In his quiet, unassuming' role as professor, Mr. Klassen has entered the hearts of all those who have either directly or indirectly had any association with him. In that same spirit of humility, we wish to dedicate this 1942 edition of the ISTA to the man we feel portrays the ren! Bluffton College Spirit. L. L.

Though its specific policies have been stated in various formal ways, its main purpose has been to carry current campus, national, and international news to its readers. It has sought, through its editorial columns, to represent a balanced and unbiased treatment of important and current topics, to live up to the college ideals, and to support college loyalty. The staHf, headed by the editor-in-chief, is divided into the editorial and reportorial staffs. The editorial staff is com- posed of the managing editor, in charge of general coverage, the sports editor, responsible for general sports coverage, and make-up of sports pageg the feature edito1', the caption editor, the proof editor, and the society editor. There is an opportun- ity for activity in the varied fields of journalism for those showing talent in straight news or feature writing. Ni pre- vious experience is required for admission to the staff, though rigid rules must be observed to maintain a permanent posi- tion on the staff. Without this important division of the Witmarsum thc paper could never be a reality. The Business Staff not only makes sure that sufficient advertising is available for the bi-weekly publication of the newspaper, but a.so provides for certain functions beyond the actual printing of the paper. The Business staff is divided into two separate divisons, the advertising and the circulation. The latter requires the handling and mailing of the Witniarsum to numerous alumn, faculty, high schools, colleges, and to those interested in thf- activities of the college, as well as the distribution of the paper to local advertisers.

It exercises restricted authority in problems of student discipline, activity regulation, and general student- administration relations, The four classes are represented in this governing' body of nine members whose term of office is one year. Dr. J. S. Schultz serves as faculty advisor to the group. CABINET Composed of the heads of the principal organizations on the campus, the Advisory Cabinet meets jointly with thc Student Council a minimum of three times annually, its purpose being to advise the council on matters pertaining to student organizations and the activity schedule of the year. Organizations represented are: the Choir, House Councils. Social Committee, Witmarsum, Gospel Teams, Varsity B's , Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Evelyn Hilty, president of Ropp Hall and the Girls' Varsity B was chosen to represent the group in the Stu- dent Welfare Committee. f ,V A 4 1 I 1 I f '. ll 'fl fl fl f- +1 IMA ' N Richard Weaver.

With the nation at war and a large number of young men who would in normal times be in college, either in the armed forces or in industry, the going has been difficult. However, some definite goals were accomplished in spite of the difficulties. Through the joint efforts of the Y. M. and Y. W. a student was sent to the National Conference of Student Christian Associations held at Miami during the Christmas vacation. The discussion groups in the forepart of the year were helpful to all who participated. The Cairn and the swinging bridge were repaired and a new bu.letin board, worthy of the name, was made. The treasury, in spite of the hard year, shows a more favorable balance than it has for some time. Although much that should have been done. has been left undone, on the whole we can feel that some definite gains were marie this year. XVith the able and enthuastic leader- ship of Rollin Moser as Advisor, we feel that the Y. M. C. A. shouid go places in years to come. . .C. . Y. W. C. A., one of the largest and most active or- ganizations on the campus, attempts to enrich the life of each of its members mentally, spiritually, and socially through its many, varied meetings and activities. Never to be forgotten is the fellowship of the devotional candle-light services, or the enjoyable teas, or the spirit of co-operation every member felt in helping with such projects as the 'paper sa.es or the Red Cross sewing. Inspiring is the fact that each Y. W, C. A. member realizes that she is a part of a world-wide organization of young women devoted to the Christian ideals of truth and service. We unite in. the desire to rerzlize 11 full nm! ere tire life through. the growing k'n0'LUlerlge of God. We detefrmirze to hare ci part in making this life possible to all people. In this task we seek to mzflcrstcuzcl Jesus anal follow him. Vw fr! 3 O :Z M L v- , ,- nal, 1,-xx 1- ,. ,.-.Q ,w fflf ,' X-TJ F4 , ,, 1-, ,mfr ,fi 1 1.4, fl ,ff'7.

'V x x2f MEN'S TEAM Beginning eight years ago when several young men, feel- ing the need of spiritual fellowship, met in various dormitory rooms for prayer and discussion, this group of Christian men has grown to be one of the major organizations on the cam- pus, contributing much to its spiritual welfare. During the past year the members have received much inspiration from various outside speakers who were secured for the Thursday night meetings. Together with other organ- izations nn the campus the Gospel Team contributed to the refugee fund, and distributed devotional booklets to students and faculty. The Gospel Team continued its practice of sending out a deputation quartet, and meetings were conducted in various churches in Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario Province, Canada. The quartet consisted of John Boehr, first tenor, Glen Graber, second tenor: Paul Soldner, baritone, and Harold Thiessen, bass. Herbert Fretz, the deputation chairman, and John Boehr were the speakers. GIRL'S TEAM During the year a group of girls set aside Thursday evening to meet together in Christian fellowship. These girls discussed religious topics and problems that were vital to their spiritual growth. Feeling the desire to help in this world crisis the girls spent time at the meetings and away from the meetings sewing layettes for the Mennonite Central Committee. The deputation groups held services in nearby churches and a trip was taken to Chicago during Christmas vacation. Two quartets functioned during the year, the first consisting of Wanda Suter, Lucille Steiner, Thelma Dailey, and Mar- cille Steiner. The second quartet was composed of Viola Amstutz, Frances Beckenbach, Ruth Soldner, and Helen Ha- begger. Money received at the various services was used to help buy the devotional booklet The Upper Room for all college students, to help pay expenses for a foreign refugee student, and to buy layettes from the M, C.

Burcky Ruth Zuiderhoek Fram-es Ramse-yer Della Kre-bill Soc bl DEBATE The debate team, under the direction ot' l'aul W. Stauffer, engaged in debates this past year with colleges and universities throughout the state. The season was cliinaxed by the state tournament held at Capital University in which nineteen colleges and universities competed. The debate question was vitally interesting because of its significant application to present day affairs. The question was: Resolved, That. the Federal Government should regulate all labor unions. The contests in which Bluffton debaters participated were: A practice tournament at Ohio Wesleyan University, and the Ohio Intercollegiate debate tournament at Capital University. SCCIAL COMMITTEE The success of the weekly Saturday night parties has been largely due to the planning on the part of the Social Committee. Various entertainment such as treasure hunts, hikes, folk and party games, parlor games and bingo have been arranged for the enjoyment of all students. Members of the committee are: Frances Rarnseyer, chair- mang Ruth Zuiderhoek, and Harold Lehman, with Miss Della Kriebel and A. C. Burcky as advisors. fb85Plb'll.S' Robert Simcox, Calvin Workman, Mary Alice Geiger, Uarvin Lugin- buhl, Eloise Whitmore. Shirley Haines. Elaine Mitchell. Evelyn John- son. Herman Parent.

Under the leadership of Mark Houshower the society presented four one-act plays. For its part in the Homecoming activities it presented Why 1 Am A Bachelorn, and for the church conferences the re- ligiouz. drama, The Lost Church . Dispensing with the usual custom of giving a three-act play, the Thespians this year sponsored a one-act play tour- nament among the classes of the college. This proved to bc highly successful and served to stimulate a great amount of interest in dramatics. Perhaps, in the eyes of the members, an equally outstanding event in the year's program was the privilege of seeing Helen Hayes in Maxwell Anderson's play, Candle In The Wind . Besides the plays and readings produced before various clubs and high schools throughout the year, the Society climaxes its activities with the t.raditiona1 Shakespearean play As You Like lt during the May llay festivities. JUNIOR PLAY Our Town , by Thornton Wilder, a Pulitzer Prize play, was presented with much Success by the Junior class. Given on April 8 and 11, under the direction of Prof. P. W. Stauifer assisted by Lee Boyer, the play was novel in its lack of scenery. Its effects were created by dependnce on lighting, acting, and period costuming. Portraying with simplicity life, love and death as it occurred in a small New Hampshire town, the action centered about the Gibbs and Webb families, the heroine of the piay being Emily Webb, portrayed by Lora Schultz, and the hero being George Gibbs, played by John Thutt. Also unusual was the part of the Stage Manager, portrayed by Paul Soldnerg he kept the audience informed as to the setting of the town and of the action of the play. The fathers of the families of the Gibbs and Webbs were played by Lloyd Hunsberger and Laurence Burkhalter, ree spectively, while their wives' roles were dual in cast. The entire cast was composed of approximately 25 persons. ,.-x Arg ml r-M Wi ,fx 7 rv, Ae, .A f ,ff Wfflfdf fiffffrf lr of W Qlj,!f!f,f.xv j A7 ,fly ,Lao ow igkffyllltfe Treva Arrants, Neil Neuenschwander, Dale Good, Otis Rhoades.

Though handicapped by a small number of students, the orchestra was able to present a concert during the Iirst term of this year: also an- other concert was given during commencement week. In ad- dition to these programs, the orchestra accompanied the an- nual rendition of Handel's Messiah , The orchestra is one of the oldest organizations on the campus, and has done much in the past in bringing good music before the student body. We sincerely hope the orch- estra will be able to continue this fine piece of work in the future, come what may. THE VESPER HOIR The musical organization of mixed voices which has truly become an integral part of the College is the Vesper Choir. The aim of the group, directed by Prof. Russell A. Lantz, is to make fine music inspiring to the listener and to the singer. The choir's repertoire includes works from the great choral music of the German, Russian and Italian schools, and from the compositions of contemporary writers. Activities of the group during the school year include singing at the monthly Vesper services and presentation of concerts in various churches of the surrounding communities. In addition, the caentata The Seven Last Words of Christ , by Dubois, is presented several times during the Easter season, and The Rose Maiden , by Cowen, is sung by the choir during the month of May. ,r ,N Cf ff ff f-, Ai, f f IV K 1 f, ffl 1' X f: ,fm fff,ff,'Lf,f1i fi ,ifi:,f', f ff, fd!! .

They are the governing body of the two houses. It is the duty of these councils to discuss student problems in an effort to promote harmonious group living. Each year the two houses jointly sponsor a formal Thanksgiving and Christmas banquet. Open House nites are other events at which the councils lead dormitory stu- dents in welcoming students, parents and friends. Both councils have had an interesting and successful year under the leadership of Evelyn Hilty, president of Ropp Hall, and Richard Weaver, president of Lincoln Hall, with the dean of women and the dean of men supervisors. HOME EC. CLUB In attempting' to carry out the objectives of the organiza- tion as stated in its constitution, the Home lic-onoinii.: Club carried on a number of broadening activities this term. Out- standing among the events of the group was the sponsoring of a college home economic departments conference on the campus early in the year. Practical, worthwhile experience for members of the group was had in serving at the Booster Club Banquet and at preliminary Booster meetings, and in making candy for selling. Artistry of the seamstresses of the organization is witnessed in the style show held in the spring. The social events of the club are climaxed in a week-end at the college cabin, vfff-.',x ,,,, .. .l 'U ' M ff R '- Q fri , f,f' X, ,ll f ' 1 ' 'fl ffil Q if ' fl 1' 'L f I I 'J r I If fy r mf lf!,'iy,llH.!, ef-X , ,Q,, . ., ,v f J. 1'.V 1 X ,J ,, , 1 V, ,Ln ,,,f,ff', kr w X' X: lv' V' Q uf xfel Q xy LJ Q ,f thx!

This motto of the Men's Varsity B club typifies the true spirit of all athletic participation. Each member is expected to carry this ideal throughout life's various battles. This fine spirit prevails in every game, whether it is being won or lost. The Varsity B , in addition to being a fine group of fellows, also is an integral part of the school's intramural program. Also, as part of their program, an annual luncheon is held as a climax of the year's activities. All the former members of the organization are invited to attend. This in- deed is an appropriate time fore those leaving the ranks of students, to compete in that big game, Life. WOMEN'S VARSITY B Aiming to provide organized physical activity for all women on the Bluffton College campus, thc Women's Varsty B organization sponsors seasonal intramural competition throughout the year. Volley ball contests dominate during the fall and early winter, a basketball tournament provides regular activity throughout the winter monthsg and soft hall games constitute the spring program. Besides these organized intramural activities, Monday evening of each week is set aside for Varsity B meetings. Business of the organization is considered at this time, and varied activities such as hiking, folk games, relays, mat exercises, volley ball, basketball, hand ball, badminton, and biking are provided for members. 1.13.61 Leland Lehman Herbert Traucht James Stinehelfer Richard Weaver Ruth Livezey Delbert Gratz Jason Tripplehorn Everett Him-wtand Dale flood Otto Elmer Mabel Hill Ruth Henderson C.

Its membership is restricted to fifteen students e.ected to the organization by the members as vacancies arise, this Small number tending to assure selection of only those who have a real interest in the subject. The organization is sponsored by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation for International Peace which sends each year to the club a group of books and periodical literature on con- temporary subjects of vital importance. These are placed in the library for the benefit of members and also for others of the student body who are interested in the subject for which the club is organized. ENSEMBLE The Bluffton College String Quartet has been particularly active this year, having furnished music for many and varied affairs of this vicinity. They were heard first at the Fresh- man Mixerg the five members of the ensemble have played in chapel several timesg they have taken part in student recitals: they have furnished dinner music for the Booster Banquet and for a number of teas given during the year. Many organizations of the town, exclusive of the college, have enjoyed the music of this talented group, and they have likewise been heard frequently throughout the year on the college broadcasts. Their activities for the year were con- cluded with an eleven-day tour of the Mennonitie communities in Pennsylvania. ,JV - R 2 PCJRT For pasflbre fbf3 s what gra0dma'd a'o--- Grandcluldren Mm' dhfersfons foo: F rom horse-back rides ro golf and 5kdfl?lg,' from watcluhg games to parricdoanhg. 5 li If S 5 Fi n E.

Others who show promising signs and are likely to see action before the season is over are Jason Tripplehorn, Otto Elmer, and Darvin Luginbuhl.

OUR country and its institutions are fundamentally sound. Those who assert the peak of American opportunity has passed are not taking into consideration that individual initiative is the driving force which accounts for all human progress. WITH the passage of every day research workers give us new jobs that never existed before. Between 1900 and 1930 the number of jobs in the United States increased at the,rate of 68 per cent while the country's population was increasing 62 per cent. Far from having reached its peak, American industry will continue to expand and develop. A LWAYS remember The American Way is best. Always do what you can to help preserve and promote it. There still is plenty of op- portunity for those who have initiative, patience and perseverance. Live with the thought to leave the world better than you found it. ggi?
