The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1956-10-20

Texas, seeking to bar 1 h e
NAACP from doing business in
that state, charged the NAACP
filed a school indignation case
without the consent of the Negro
student plaintiffs. The State Atty.
General has charged that the
NAACP solicited, recruited and
coerced Negro students to file
suits. He further charged that the
NAACP is not complying with the
laws Of Texas. So Texas seeks to
make permanent a temporary in
junction which has been granted
against the NAACP.
Now, it is common knowledge
that the NAACP is the core of the
Negroes fight for justice, right
and equality. 1t is the hub around
which all activities in this direc-
ton spin. So, obviously the rea-
soning of the StrategistS is
simply, "cdestroy the organization
and the Negro is diSarmed." Cen
tralization of power in this huge
legal arsenal set in motion by the
organization, has come to mean
more than just a gesture within
the short Spsn of two and one
half years, despite the fact that
the organization had its founding
some AZ years ago.
1t is almost lnconceivable to be-
lieve that after so long a time in
so noble "a fight it can now be
found that operations of the
',NAACP are illegal"
The NAACP has been always
absorbed in fighting battles for
someone else, that is, the Negro
people in general, but now II
must do "a little battling for its
very existence. Thurgood Marshall
and his colleagues are on a new
battle ground; but they will even
.tualIy win their case because
their cause is righteous.

There is no law which says

Higgins asserts. "But there Is a

1t need hardly be pointed out
that the NAACP is not such an
organization. On the contrary the
NAACP is professedly seeking an
objective which is in complete
harmony with Christian and social
teachings, namely equal rights
for Colored people in the civic and
political order. Support the

Chief Justice
At I'll. S. Dedication
Ceremony In 1893

The dedication of the new high
school addition in November of 1888
during Superintendent A. J. B.
Longsdorf's administration of school
affairs was one remembered clearly
by Bluffton as a red letter day in
the town history.
Prominent graduates of the school
appeared on the program at various
times during a week-long program
timed in connection with American
Education Week.
Climaxing the week was the formal
dedication on a Friday evening. Prin-
cipal speaker was Carl V. Weygandt,
chief justice of the Ohio Supreme
Court and an old classmate of Mr..
Longsdorf's at the College of Wooster.
DR.. B. 0. Skinner, then state director
of education, was also on the program
as was Major Loucks Brown of Ken
ton, American Legion district COM
mander.
The alumni meeting that year was
attended by former school superinten-
dents U. M. Shappell, B. F. Biery, C.
Edward Bender and Mr.. Longsdorf.

First Jr.-Sr. Prom
Held In The Gym
For Class Of '38

The Junior-Senior, Prom now one
of the highlights of the commence
ment activities, did not become an
accepted part of Bluffton tradition
until 1888, Is years ago.
For five or six years prior to that
high school youngsters had sought
permission to hold a dance in con-
nection with their Class Night activi-
ties, but dancing was frowned upon
by many members of the community
and therefore by the school officials.
The ban on dancing at the school
resulted many times in parents open
ing their homes for a social whirl
following the Glass Night program.
Rugs were rolled up, the phonograph
turned on, and the young people had
their proms at home.
The ban was almost broken in 1887
when all arrangements had been made
for dancing in the gym at the close
of the Class Night program. At the
last minute, however, someone ruled
the dance out, and the youngsters
took off for night spots in Lima,
Finday, wherever music could be
found.
The Class of '38 was the first to re-
ceive official sanction for dancing
and each year since then the Prom
has been a part of tradition.
| But the distinction of holding the
first class reception belongs to the
Class of 1902. When this class was
in its junior year, it gave the first
reception for the seniors, the Glass
of 1901. The reception was not helc
at the school, but at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Simon Herr, now the home
of Mrs. Anna Basinger.
Wilhelm Amstutz, who attended the
party, recalls distinctly how one mem
ber Of the class stepped into baske
of sherbet glasses, breaking number
of them and causing a near riot fol
several moments.

BHS Accredited
By North Central
AS Early AS 1913

Bluffton high school has been con-
tinuously accredited by the North
Central association of colleges and
secondary schools since 1913. The pro-
vision of extra high school facilities
in a new building erected a year
earlier played an important part in
the recognition.
The approval by the North Central
association was reported in the Bluff
ton News of May Is, 1913.
Following the inspection of the
high school representative from Ohio
State university to our school last
January, application was made to the
North Central association for recog-
milton on their accredited list.

Canine Pet Of 81
Only Dog TO Get
Honorary Degree

The class of '37 was the only
one in the history of BIuffton
high school to have a dog as an
honorary member.
According to an item in the
May 81, 1887 issue of The Bluff
ton News, the dog, Pedro,
was graduated as an honorary
member of the senior class at
the annual exercises in the
gymnasium.
Pedro was described as "just
plain dog of nondescript appear
ance and obscure lineage"
The dog belonging to Paul
Kliewer, a member of the
graduating class, had for several
years become familiar figure
about the high school, being
accorded privileges of the halls
and classroOms denied to other
members of the canine family.
Faculty, students and janitOrs
all knew Pedro who ambled
nonchalantly about the building
at will.
Pedro apparently skyrOcketed
to fame in high school affairs
by exhibiting a decided flair for
dramatics and for a period of
three years had been inseparably
connected with class plays-and,
according to the critics, never
missed a cue.
