"All these years later, I still remember the dread I felt before taking the quarry test. This wasn't a written exam, and it had nothing to do with school. It was a rite of passage for any Bluffton kid from around the mid-1950s to the early-1990s who wanted to earn the right to swim in the Buckeye." - Rick Ramseyer
