Letter: Flash from the past
By Butch Amstutz
Bluffton High School Class of 1964 waiting outside the main entrance of the high school to start their senior class trip.
Top from left: Butch Amstutz, Loren Core, Gene Balmer, Jim Amstutz. Front: Roy Schmutz.
We were the last class to get to go to Washington D.C. and New York City due to the cost of the trip.
The World's Fair was also in NY that year. We were the last class before Bluffton and Beaverdam Schools consolidated in 1965.
The Class of 1964 was and still is a fun class!
