Can you identify this location?

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 8, 2020 - 11:18am

This is a tough one for those under, say 55. It's a construction photograph of a Bluffton swimming pool that no longer exists.

The year is 1955 or '56. Paul Diller, father of Jim Diller, took this photo, originally as a color slide. Jim is in the process of transferring the slide into a easiler to view format.

We believe that Jim Benroth, brother of Gene and Bob, is the man watching the work on the far right, in the teal colored shirt.

95 football seasons ago at Bluffton College

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 24, 2020 - 1:14pm

Here's the Bluffton College football team during the 1925 season. With only four games, the schedule appears overpowering: Ohio Northern University, Findlay, Bowling Green and Defiance.

While Bluffton did not win a game, they stayed very close to each opponent, losing only by 15 points at its widest margin of loss.
