Good bye, high school - hello, world, here we come
Photos by Rae Staton
Each Bluffton High School graduating class has its own personality. Each carries its own identity.
Take number 136 - the 2017 graduating class. Born in an earlier century; graduating in another.
They carry familiar Bluffton surnames of Basinger, Burkholder, Geiser, Huber, Klingler, Koontz, Schmutz, Schumacher, Steiner, Stratton and others.
They carry names that join the Bluffton cannon of surnames, including Tatarkov, Talwar, Spiridigliozzi, Kirkendall, Hill, Chancey, Bicknell and others.
They will return for their 50th class reunion in 2067. In the next five decades, the world belongs to them.
Here's some photos of the class during its commencement. Photos are by Rae Staton, a mother of now-BHS alum, Sydney Staton.
