Here is Ruby Murray's first grade during the 1954-55 school year. These students are members of the Bluffton High School class of 1967. The photo was taken on the front steps of the "old " grade school. It was the final year that the old building was used. We see several familiar faces and hope that Michael Zimmerman takes it upon himself to provide us with a proper row-by-row identification. Leland Gerber was the photographer.
When I visited Bluffton recently, I was impressed with all of the beautiful planters along Main Street from Stratton's Greenhouse. What a lovely way to add to the charm and beauty of the community.
It's spring-turning-to-summer. That means the day lilies are in full bloom in Bluffton. Here is one of three varieties in the Bill and Pauline Williams side yard on Grove Street.
