Mwwimisirmiiom iw U w If you continue in my word, you are my disciples, cmd you will know the truth, and the truth will make you tree. This is the verse from Which Bluffton's motto, The Truth Makes Free, was taken. There are those who feel that the truth which a college has to offer is to be found almost exclusively in the class- rooms, laboratories, and library. Complete truth, however, cannot be discov- ered apart irom proper relationships with one's God and association with one's fellowmen. Bluffton College, believing that only complete truth can set one free, places emphasis on social relationships, chapel services, co-curricular activities, and other human and spiritual aspects of C1od's creation. lt is this balanced quest for truth which is pictured in the pages of this book and which is exemplified in the life of Bluffton College. f fafwubjw president l K dean Those of us who determine the total pro- gram of Bluffton College-administrators, faculty, Board of Trustees-have no greater concern before God or man than to provide the most effective plan of education We are capable of devising for certain high school QTaduates. Though it is assumed that We must exer- cise final judgment in this process, you young people yourselves must have a siq- nificant share in designing the plan. Iacob S. Schultz, Ph.D. board of trustees The college Board of Trustees is composed of seventeen vot- ing members which are elected from each church district and the alumni association for six year terms. These men faith- fully serve the college by giv- ing it their valuable time. Back row:' Don Bowen, A. S. Rosenberger, Ezra Moser. Third row: D. D. Hostetler, Oliver Diller, Lowell Risser.

We came to Bluffton College as the 49er's not seeking for gold, but for a higher education. We remember Winning the tug-o-War in both our freshman and sophomore years, sponsoring the junior play, and the editing of the Ista. It would also be hard to forget the sneak or rather the trip to see the Ice Capades in Cleveland. When the whirl of May Day and Commencement is over and We are grad- uates We will remember the wonderful four years We spent at Bluffton College. juniors Dick Yaussy Bucyrus, Ohio Vice-President Betty Bauman Bluffton, Ohio Secretary Helen Clemens Lima, Ohio Treasurer Eileen Myers Quakertown, Pennsylvania Throughout the year the class of '54 held high before them the motto good work and good play make one of the best junior ' classes. The juniors' ego was raised tremendously when they caught the seniors two hours before their appointed sneak time. In November, the junior class in conjunction with the Speech Department presented the three act comedy, George Washington Slept Here. Many thanks go to the director, Gary Sprunger. A significant and big task of every junior class is the editing of the Ista. This was accomplished through the fine spirit and co- operation of the class members. Looking forward to becoming seniors, the class is poised for the challenges to be encountered in their final college year. lack Arters Medina, Ohio Sara Badertscher Bluffton.

Their first consideration was the initiation oi the freshmen. The initiation Was planned by an able sophomore committee and supervised by the other members ot the class. It was climaxed by a soph-frosh party through which both classes learned to appreciate the finer qualities of the other. The rivalry between the two classes ended when the mighty men of the sophomore class pulled the freshmen through the Riley in a thrilling tug-o-War contest held during Homecoming weekend. The sophomore class, though small in number expects to accomplish much in their remaining years at Bluitton.

Many helpful experiences were encountered during the time of registration, initiation, and the history of Bluffton College test, for which every frosh dug into the old historical papers trying to remember important events and dates in the development of BC. At the beginning of the second semester the following officers were elected: president, Don Bundy, vice president, Ioe Smuckerp treasurer, lean Boshart, secretary, Margot Pulss.

The Bluffton College gridders fought their way to their third straight winning season. They ended the season with a 5-4 over-all record including three league victories against two losses. In addition to showing some brilliant defensive play, the Beavers chalked up 2614 yards and scored a total of 193 points to the opposition's 145. Ten different fellows shared in the scoring. Wendell Metzler scored 38 points and gained over 600 yards to lead the team in both departments. Unfortunately Bluffton lost a great player, Charles Spencer, who was called into the service after playing in only four games this season. The four seniors who ended their college football careers this season were: Ralph Shelly, Wendell Metzler, Albert Bauman, and Charles Groesbeck. Taylor ...... Heidelberg. . . Findlay .....

The old barn which was once the pride of Northwestern Ohio, is now only a thing to be remembered. After a slow start the Mastmen improved steadily to end the season with 7 wins and ll losses. The fast-breaking Beavers Wound up fourth in the Mid-Ohio League. Griffin proved to be the Beaver's first victim, while Cedarville provided Bluffton with their first league win. Coach Mast tasted sweet revenge when his outfit, aided by Augsburgefs 22 points, played their best game of the year to humble Heidel- berg, his Alma Mater, 75-64. Highest individual scorer for a single game was Iohn Moser with 27 points against Ashland. Close behind was Bill Burcky with 25 points to show for each of his last two games.

What chang-gl them ? You don't have to look far for the answer. lt's something as American as a chocolate soda. It's competition. And all that means is this: every person and business is free to outdo the other fellow in trying to produce something better-so more people will want it and buy it. That's why this year's cars are always sleeker and more powerful than last year's. That's why service stations llike Ohio Oil's Mara- thon stations, for instancel keep getting more modern and gleaming, year after year, offering finer and finer petroleum products Competition among tens of thousands of independent businesses in the petroleum industry not only makes such progress possibleg competition makes it necessary. As long as our economic system works that way, this will be a pretty wonderful and ex- citing country, won't it, in which to live and .work and get ahead?
