With the books of the past behind him, Historian Cecil Beeson is Iceeper of the county ' s new his- torical museum. Beginnings and endings Are you going to the trial? I ' ll meet at the courthouse at 5 a.m.! Such comments passed from student to studen in Sep- tember as Roger Drollinger came to trial in Hartford City for the St. Valentine ' s Day slaying of four youths in Parke Coun- ty. Students attended court daily with absence excuses. The final day of the trial saw Drollinger guilty on all counts. Summer brought to Blackford County the new Blackford County Historical Museum, with a special library honoring historian Cecil Beeson. The year also saw the passing of many famous and well- loved celebrities, two of the most popular being Elvis Presley and Bing Crosby. Others were bandleader Guy Lombardo, comedians Grouch Marx and Charlie Chaplin, actress Joan Crawford, actor Freddie Prinz, and Senator Hubert Hum- phrey. Another startling event occurred when Egypt ' s leader Sa- dat started peace talks with Israel ' s leader Begin. The Unit- ed States acted as a mediator for the two count ries. The national scene, the community, and Blackford High School are often viewed as three separate worlds, but this year ' s events have shown worlds intermingle to touch ev- eryone ' s lives. In the artist ' s eye, Roger Drollinger fared well, as Steve Dinse ' s BrulNformer sketch was reprinted in an Illinois daily. Waiting in line was necessary for many BHS stu- dents who witnessed the drama of a murder trial at the courthouse. Community Events 29
