Year of visits and visitors High-point for Government students this year was the trial of Roger Drollinger in Blackford County. Many students of the Social Studies Department traveled to the courthouse during the week of the trial during school hours. Another major highlight in the Social Studies Department was the trip to Washington, D.C. The trip was a one-day adventure with 47 people attending from the department. These included 40 students and seven adult chaperones. Lecturers were frequent in Social Studies. A representa- tive from the ITT Company discussed the details of budget- ing in everyday life. He also spoke about the programs offered at ITT for future opportunities. A series of movies was shown to Government classes. These which dealt with political issues of the Government, were produced by the ATT Company. Two new faces were seen on the Social Studies staff. Besides Mrs. Place, another new teacher this year, Mr. Brad Hanner, taught U.S. History. Social Studies Department 83

ports If all the sports buffs in Bruinland were laid end-to- end, there would be just about 1200 of them. Whether a player, a rabid fan, or just an ignorant disciple of Bruin- ism who doesn ' t know a bat boy from Batman, almost ev- ery inhabitant backed the team in spirit. It was also a year of femi- nine participation. Not only did the girls have teams of their own in four sports — they also joined the boys ' squads in two others. Seasons in two sports end- ed with shocks, however, when two veteran coaches who had guided their teams since the school opened turned over their scorebooks to successors.
