Here's a classic Bluffton centennial photo; Seated and beardless is Gerald "Tuffy" Swank, Bluffton barber. Standing behind him are the Mericle brothers, Dick, Bill and Gene.

Charles Hilty took this photo. Here's his comments:

Note that Tuffy didn't have a beard. Did he not grow one for the Centennial, or is this is posed photo taken just after the celebration ended and he's already shaved at home and the Mericle brothers have come in to get their beards shaved?
