The main purpose of this monthly organ of the college has been to carry current campus, national and international news to its readers. Through its editorial columns it has sought to uphold the ideals purported by the liberal arts college, and more specifically to support students' loyalty to Bluffton College. The staff, headed by 'the editor- in-chief, is divided into the editorial and reportorijal staffs. The editorial staff is composed of the managing editor, in charge of general coverageg the proof editor, and the humor editor. In addition, permanent writers contribute columns for the music department, the library, campus so- ciety, the humanities, and contemporary happenings. There is an oppor- tunity for activity in the varied fields of journalism for those showing talent in straight news or feature writing. No previous experience is required for admission to the staff, though rigid rules must be observed to maintain a permanent position on the staff.

The Business Staff not only makes sure that suf- ficient advertising is available for the monthly publication of the news- paper, but also provides for certain functions beyond the actual printing of the paper. The Business Staff is divided into two divisions, the adver- tising group and the circulation group. The latter attends to the hand- ling and mailing of the paper to numerous alumni, faculty, high schools, colleges. and to those interested in the activities of the college as well as the distribution of the paper to local advertisers.

The remaining squad was largely composed of freshmen who were lacking in experience but made up for it with their spirit. Highlights: Bowling Green took the initial game by a fair score of 57-32 . . . the Beavers held their own against great odds. Cedarville in- vaded the home floor and carried oft' the long end of a close contest, 59 to 545 the closest game of the season for the Burckymen. Our center, Beryl Grubaugh, returned and gave us some added height. 'Dhen after mid-year vacation Wilberforce took command of a fast-moving contest to capture it 70-625 Heiks and Baumgartner scored 18 points. Kenyon proved to be one of the more evenly matched opponents although they triumphed 54 to 44. The Beavers showed their best rally of the year coming from 34-17 to 41-40. The 71-49 loss to Findlay was the curtain for the seasong Beidler did a remarkable job of individual scoring, get- ting 21 points. Ellwyn ysle Sommers, W t son Skmnel. Bob Simcox.

The lVIen's Varsity B commands respect as a distinctive part of campus life since its membership is composed solely of men who have participated regularly in intercollegiate athletic activities. In its meet- ings the Varsity B seeks to further the best in athletic knowledge and discussion. It also plays an integral part in the school's intramural program, providing basketball, volleyball, and softball for the students. In addition it promotes Homecoming Day in the fall and an annual break- fast at the close of the year with the old club members. The motto of the club, A Gentleman first, an athlete afterwards , typifies the true spirit of The Beavers . The aim of the Women's Varsity B is to provide organized physi- cal activity for all the women on the campus. Seasonal intramural com- petition is sponsored throughout the year. A table tennis tournament is also conducted. At the weekly meetings varied activities such as hik- ing, biking, relays, folk games, volleyball, basketball and badminton are provided for members. 33 1' Candid Shah!

Though blessed with very little administrative authority or power, the Advisory Cabinet nevertheless plays an important part in just the capacity its name signifies. Made up of the heads of all major organi- zations on the campus, it represents the opinions of each of them. At- tending in a body the major meetings of the Student Council, it assists in the presentation and formulation of new plans. It coordinates coun- cil decisions with the needs of the respective organization, and advises the council on matters pertaining to the year's activity schedule. This year its mostnimportant duty was to aid in the establishment of the new student constitution and organization plan of the Student Council Com- mission. omeatic probfemJ are Jolued by tlzeae cfubs Q 'i Q A-:F ' 3: A 3: dal we House Council Herb Fretz, Ellis Guthrie.

AJ Chosen by the students of Ropp Hall and Lincoln Hall, the House Councils are the governing bodies of these dormitories which provide a college home for women and men students respectively. It is the duty of these councils to discuss student problems in an effort to promote harmonious and beneficial group living. Separate council meetings are held regularly in cooperation with Miss Edna Ramseyer, Dean of Women and Rev. Floyd Pannabecker, Dean of Men. Formal banquets at Thanks- giving and Christmas and Open House nights are special events which serve to ac- quaint faculty members, town students and friends with the dormitories. The Home Economics Club this year met once a month. A few of our object- ives are to develop genuine teamwork and promote friendship among its membersg to encourage creative arts and activities which will help develop characterg to pro- vide social, business, and professional experiences through the various aspects of club lifeg and to cooperate with other local clubs and with state and national groups. Some of our outstanding events of the year are thc initiation meeting, a rustic picnic at Fox Hill, Christmas wrapping, making and selling candy, demonstrations, Fashion Show in the spring, and the spring retreat at the college cabin. we pauae in loving remembrance frofenor dfoganbilf We pause here to pay tribute to one who left us in mid-year. Prof. Loganbill, our Business Manager and Dean of Men, was a true friend of every Blufftonite, and we sincerely mourn his passing. Never too busy to do three times his share of work on campus projects, Mr. Loganbill was always ready to lend a friendly helping hand to those who needed it. In the hearts of all those who knew him, Mr. Loganbill held a place which can never again be filled. Back rowfLyle Messner, Robert Neue-nschwander, Norman Beidlcr.

The inspirational quality of their singing his out- standing and the sacred concerts of the choir are truly a ministry of music and a great uplift to their hearers. Included in the choir program were productions of the great choral masters, as well as interpretations of modern Russian and American writers. Besides singing at the monthly Vespers services, the choir, under the direction of Prof. Russell A. Lantz, has given concerts in many of the high schools and churches in neighboring communities. Music is a kind of inafrticulate unfathomable speech, which leads us to the edge of the infinite, and lets us for mo- ments to gaze into that. CARLYLE The Senior Orchestra under the able direction of Pro- fessor Hauenstein has outlined for itself largely a program of enjoyment and relaxation. Being greatly limited by a smaller personnel this year, it has not reached the finesse of other years, but enthusiasm has been encouraging. Beethoven's First Symphony, Haydn's Second Symphony, Saint Saen's Suite Algerienne, Massenet's Overture to Phedre, and lVDacdowell's Woodland Sketches -have consti- tuted the primary projects. A final concert is the import- ant public appearance for the organization, though mem- bers of the group have appeared on numerous occasions as small ensembles. gfze Ciollege Orclzeatra Back row-Treva Arrant:-i, Carolyn Moyer.

The differences found in this organization only serve to make more rich and valuable the fellowship which comes from working toward the common goal of realizing this purpose. Because the Y. W. is aware of its responsibility in the present international conflict, the girls devoted much of their time the past year to Red Cross sewing. Another project undertaken together with the cooperation of the Y. M. C. A. was the World Student Service Fund drive. Through these two media especially, the members were given an opportunity to do some- thing worthwhile to relieve suffering and want in many parts of the world. The year's activities centered around our own local purpose: To serve the present age. In attempting to carry out this purpose in respect to the individual, the campus, the community, the nation, and the world, the girls were constantly inspired by the fact that they were a vital part of a world-wide organization of young women devoted to thc all-important Christian ideals of truth and service. yard . Despite terrific handicaps the Y. M. C. A. has had a fairly success- ful year. At their annual Fall Retreat the cabinet initiated plans for the recreation room, which, with the aid of several of the other organi- zations has come to be a reality. In November we tried with consider- able success a novel method of raising moneyg a box social with boxes furnished by the boys and bidding by the girls. This helped to build up our treasury which is always a problem. The world situation today has contributed to the small size of our Y. M. for during the first semester several of our boys had to leave either for the military or civilian serv- ice. Yet, even though their work has taken them to other fields, we feel that they will remember their connection with the Y. M. and that they have received some benefit from being members of this group. It is our hope and belief that after this world holocaust has burned itself out the Y. M. C. A. as a local, as well as a national organization, will come back stronger than ever to take its rightful place in the life of our people. girls, gospel Z-eam 4-4. :- ,p T' KT en '4 gospel 5eam Donna Hartzler, Eleanor Weaver, Esther Habegger, Wilma Mumma, Iona Gerber, Eula Locher.

In an ef- fort to do their part in helping the victims of this world crisis, members devoted considerable time to sewing for the Mennonite Central Commit- tee. The work of the deputation group was seriously limited this year because of inadequate transportation facilities. However, services were held in many neighboring churches, and a week-end trip was undertaken. The Quartette was composed of Viola Amstutz, Iona Gerber, Eleanor Weaver. and Helen Habegger. Using the money received through the various services the group again helped provide copies of the devotional booklet The Upper Room for all college students, and assisted in meet- ing the expenses of a foreign refugee student. Mena gow! geam The Men's Gospel Team has definitely sought to serve the Christian spiritual needs of the campus. In its Thursday night meetings during the past year the members have received much inspiration from student discussions and outside speakers. Besides its regular meetings, they have also sponsored meditation periods and noon devotions for all stu- dents. In addition it has given a ministerial scholarship and with other campus organizations contributed to the student refugee fund and the devotional booklets for students and faculty. A deputation quartet was again active in the local community and in Indiana churches. The quar- tet consisted of Edmund Zehr, Ellwyn Hartzler, Stanley Hostetter, and Ben Rider.

Despite a limited membership the Thespian Dramatic Society completed a very active and successful season. It produced four one-act plays, as well as a Home- coming play, a Christmas play for chapel, and a program for College Church. The one-act play tournament among the classes of the college was sponsored by them. It is hoped that such a contest will become a custom and that it will continue to stimulate interest in dramatics and provide an outlet for creative expression among the students. The Society climaxed its activities by presenting a traditional Shakes- pearean play during the May Day festivities. Striving to unify the college social activities and maintain the highest possible standards of ethical conduct, the College Social Committee has provided Saturday evening recreational opportunities and parties throughout the year. Among the most outstanding events sponsored by the committee were the Halloween Spook Party, Hobo Convention, Beaver Hut Housewarming, Taffy Pull, and the All-College Picnic. Serving on the committee were Miss Della Krehbill and Coach A. C. Burcky, faculty representativesg Holly Mosiman, William Boorse, Harold Thiessen, and Frances Beckenbach. Coach Buicky, Frances Becken- union Jlaged afrexy and Son H Prexy and Son by Fred Eastman, was the popular drama present- ed by the Junior class on March 30 under the direction of Prof. P. W. Stauifer. The play was written for the seventy-fifth anniversary of Wooster College of which the author is an alumnus. It shows the typi- cal small college, struggling with its financial burdens. Pres. Patton, portrayed by Ellis Guthrie, endeavors to keep the aims and ideals of the old school functioning despite the failure of his own son, Ted. played by Earl Lehman, to make good. Dr. Carey, popular young professor of psychology, fRobert Simcoxl works out a pla11 with Mr. Grey, chairman of the board of trustees, played by Edmund Zehr, to turn the school into a vocational, job-centered institution. Patton emerges victorious and with the aid of his son, Ted, saves the school from financial ruin and from Dr. Carey's dangerous philosophy.

The International Relations Club was organized for the purpose of stimulating interest and fostering a more comprehensive understanding and appreciation of present world affairs through monthly discussion meetings. In the past member- ship has been limited to fifteen, and freshmen were excludedg new members were voted in as vacancies arose. This year the club has been opened to all who have made application. This change was made for this year only as a trial because of the intense interest shown by so many students. The organization is sponsored by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation for International Peace which supplies the club with books and periodical literature on vital current problems. This material is also made available to non-members who are interested in studying contemporary prob- lems. ' Special emphasis has been placed in this year's Peace Action Club on the study of the spiritual basis of pacifism and also on work projects. Due to the interest in Civilian Public Service camps, Mennonite Central Committee work and relief projects, the activities of this organization have expanded during the year. The main project was beginning the MCC sewing room in the basement of Science Hall, Where used clothing has been repaired and packed for shipment to the office in Akron, Pa. Included on the programs were discussions by various members of the faculty, F. O. R. representatives, CPS campers, and other speakers interested in the peace movement. Hartzler, Lois Sommer.

We survived the freshman initiation with nothing damaged except our pride and settled down to work in earnest. Harold Thiessen was elected president, and H. W. Berky was chosen as our faculty advisor. The next year we felt more at home on the campus and continued to take active part in campus organizations. We did our part in introducing the new freshmen to the customs and traditions of Bluffton. A formal, candle-light initiation service ended the temporary hostilities. Our president for this year was Bay Ram- seyer. In our third year we joined the ranks of the upperclassmen. We were ably led by Lloyd Hunsberger through a success- ful year marked by the production of Thornton Wilder's f'Our Town , a new Ista, and the Junior-Senior Banquet. Seniors at last! After three years filled to the brim with all kinds of activi- ties we have achieved the dignified posi- tion of seniors. Events of the past few years have pared our class down to one- third its original size, and a number of our members completed their college work long before commencement time. We be- gan our year under the leadership of Richard Mumma and ended it with Her- bert Oyer as president, Herbert Traucht as vice-president, and Mabel Hill secre- tary-treasurer. Through the years members of the Class of '43 have held prominent positions in the musical organizations, in the dra- matic society, in the Student Council, on the staffs of the Witmarsum, in the Y's , and in other religious and social activi- ties. We have contributed our talents to Bluffton and Bluffton has taught us much. Now along wih all the other alumni we say, Hail to thee, dear Bluff- ton College.

Sophisticated sophomores promptly and efficiently put us in our places, and lest We forget our lowly posi- tion, administered the usual initiation. Man-power must have been lacking in our ranks for we lost the annual tug-o'- war and the green caps remained on our heads till Thanksgiving. Late in the year we elected Arthur Thiessen class president and selected our popular Coach Burcky to advise us throughout our col- lege career. Returning last year as sophomores, we proceeded to show our authority over the newest crop of freshmen. Our class pride was severaly damaged when thew retal- iated by pulling us through the Riley, and we began once more to behave like hu- man beings instead of snobs. Our dra- matic ability displayed itself this year when we won second place in the one-act play contest. Class president for the year was Harold Lehman. Arriving on the campus as Juniors, we 6 U noted with astonishment the size of the class. Of the sixty-seven enthusiastic freshmen, only sixteen loyal juniors re- main, carrying on the regular activities. In spite of our limited numbers, we en- tered with spirit into the year's activities. Our dramatic ability once more gave us second place in the one-act play contest. By enlistment, draft, and persuasion, we finally assembled a junior play cast and produced a very successful play, Prexy and Soni War limitations notwithstand- ing, we managed to keep up the tradition and publish another Ista. Our eventful year was closed with the annual Junior- Senior banquet. The officers who guided us so success- fully through this year were Arthur Thiessen, presidentg Bob Simcox, vice- presidentg Holly Mosiman, secretaryg and Grace Geissinger, treasurer. Thus we leave behind three glorious years at Bluffton. We look forward with mingled joy and sadness to our final year before stepping out to make our place in the world.

Enthusiastic and unsuspecting we, the Class of '45, also entered the portals of Bluffton College as a group of hopeful youth only to find ourselves subject- ed at once to a period of seemingly traditional humili- ation and abuse. But through the physical prowess of our worthy male element , We freed ourselves from our servile bands by conquering the sophs in the annual contest of strength on Homecoming Day. Then, turning our efforts toward things more pro- found, we began to concentrate our attention more largely upon achievement in the intellectual and social activities of college life. Late in the year we chose Lysle Sommers as our class president, and Prof. Stauf- fer as class advisor. The fall of '42 found us returning to Bluffton eager to claim the distinction and elevation accom- panying the name sopho1nore . Although we suf- fered a considerable decrease of mernbership-espe- cially of our masculine colleagues-we nobly resolved to make quality rather than quantity our motto. and ,carge a4.4piraiion.4 'i s,f Evelyn Johnson, Lyslv Sommers, lfrc-rl Soldluer.

Although far outnumbered as a class by these new- comers, the sophs won the rather unusually distinct honor of being, for a second time, victorious in the freshman-sophomore tug o' war, thus proving that superiority may pervade in the minority. In scholastic, esthetics, and religious endeavors the sophomores have held their own. The officers who guided us through our sophomore year were: Ernst Harder, president, William Keeney, vice-presi- dent, Eleanor Weaver, secretary, and Donna Hartz- ler, treasurer. And now it is with a sense of triumph but a tinge of regret that we realize our arrival at the half-way mark in our course. Satisfield with what we have done, but regretful of what we have left undone, we look to the future determined to approach more nearly our lofty ideals and to impress more firmly upon the pages of Bluffton College history the distinct and in- delible mark of the Class of '45. 194 ,fob Sommer There was a diiference when we returned to Bluffton in our Sopho- more year. Friends were here to greet usg and we were here to greet the Frosh and new-comers. Remembering our first year, we were eager to help those new students get acquainted with our college. The respon- sibility had now been shifted upon us and we carried on, few in quantity but with a quality of spirit comparable to that of the highest ideals of Bluifton. We felt it our duty to stir to action or create such a spirit and such ideals in these new friends, so we were anxious to welcome them as fellow-students of Bluffton. With the addition of the sophisticated sounding title of Sophomores, we acquired the honor of initiating the freshmen and for the second time dragged our opponents through the miry waters of the Riley. Per- haps we seemed a heartless class to the innocent freshies until we returned to our true selves and concluded the initiation ceremonies with the impressive candle-light service. Fro mthen on we turned our efforts again to constructive things. As upperclassmen left the campus through- out the year, our class members stepped into their places of leadship and our class assumed more responsibilities as a vital part of the stu- dent body. Now, having finished our second year, we again leave, realizing that we have reached the half-way mark of our college adventure, but deter- mined to make the last half even more ideal than the former two years. 04 Sophomore iufrctea Opportunitiea of a Sophomore fx 9 Z N .f ff mf mf Y. cg , grealzmen Seemed to be guerywlzere I5 lx Paul Klassen.

A few days later saw the bloom fade from their cheeks and a decidedly green tinge cover the disillu- sioned lifty. It seemed that freshman just weren't . They were merely green nobodies to be reminded of their low status at all times. And there were several very potent remindersg the least of these was not the 6:00 A. M. walk in the cemetery, nor the unbecoming red ques- tion marks worn on the foreheads. Then came the small green hats which every Freshman grew to love. They loved them so much that they ducked wearing them whenever possible, until the almighty sopho- mores started ruling with an iron hand. In the late fall hostilities were suspended long enough for a fresh- man-sophomore hayride. This was much enjoyed by all, and the fresh- men had to admit that the sophomores really were good eggs after all. 1946 fecauae of Zlzeir greater Jvumbem The frosh soon began to win their rightful places as important members of the B. C. student body. Especially in athletics did they excel. What with five regulars on the Beaver eleven and four regular loopsmen they deserve not a little credit. The girls also held their own in the athletic line by winning the intramural basketball tournament. Late in the year we chose our class officers. Norman Beidler served as president and Stan Hostetter as vice-president, with Vera Esch secre- tary and David Rosenberger as treasurer. Mr. Hilty was elected class advisor. The unusual versatility of the Class of '46 is most evident. The music department and Vesper Choir have gained many new talented members. The journalists of the class have contributed valuable services to the Witmarsum staff. Nor is the class lacking in dramatic ability which is shown by their activities in the Thespian Society. Truly the frosh can hold their heads high in the knowledge that they are making definite contributions to Bluffton College. The Class of '46 made a great startg now watch them march onward to their goal! 1946 B lx 0 David Weaver, Paul Sauder. Merlin Zeurcher, NVarren Sites. Y Z d 'Freda Yoder, David Rosenberger.

Studying a'fJ.4ignmenL4 in .High School gf College There is a marked difference between preparing assignments in high school and in college. In college, all the classes of a particular student do not meet every day, as in high school. Instead of a daily schedule as found in high school, the college student is more on a weekly basis where no two daily schedules are exactly alike, but each week is identical, however. This difference in schedules makes necessary a change in study habits. Formerly the assignments had to be prepared for each course every day, but in college it is only necessary to prepare for the courses that meet on a particular day as only two or three generally occur on any single day. Hours for study are not set aside for one as in high school where every student must arrive at school at a certain hour and remain for definite hours during which time he attends classes and does his studying for the next day. In college, a student is more or less free to move about as he pleases. He comes when he has a class, and is free to leave again after that class if he has no class in the period following. He is usually unable to complete his preparation during the free periods he has in a day, and must spend much more time studying in the even- ing than in high school days. Every minute that is set aside for study must be de- yoted to steady concentration so that one gets the most out of the comparatively ittle time. The average student in college must work for financial aid to continue his edu- cation. This takes up a considerable amount of time Sthat the high school student does not have occupied. This added responsibility requires a closer budgeting of time to find time for study, while the high school student has not such worries unless he is very active in extra-curricular organizations. It will probably take some time to become accustomed to this differenceg some will adjust quickly, but others will have difficulty. al gredhmania Contribulwn glne 1943 Calendar JANUARY fCont.J Bob Blough leaves for service.

MZXNUFAC U RS OF . , PA. 9 6 C 85 THE AMERICAN WAY OF FREE ENTERPRISE ... . . . . .WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU AS you leave school to take up the serious job of earning a living, re- member The American Way and American Standards of Living are the best in the world. 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 c-ountry'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.
