Meet the elementary teachers of the 1938-39 school year
Eighty-five Bluffton school years ago, here were the elementary teachers, with the school superintendent. The only married women teachers are Adella Steiner Oyer and Grace Cox. Mrs. Oyer was the first-ever married teacher when she was hired by Bluffton in 1934.
Three of the teachers were in mixed grades.
