and atv ct cvai, done. 1957-1958 was a year like all school years. Ripplites returned to the fifteen levels that are Broad Ripple High School. They cheered the teams on: sometimes to victory, sometimes in defeat . . . campaigned vigorously . . . made new friends . . . went steady . . . buzzed the Teep . . . groaned over homework assignments . . . joined clubs . . . rehearsed for the Ripples . . . crammed for finals. But 1958 was different too. Ripplites welcomed their first American Field Service student . . . attained a record enrollment of 1,920 . . . despaired over the new 7:30 a.m. and tenth hour classes . . . walked away with offices in state organizations . . . strolled at the first record hop . . . Math majors delighted in the new Calculus course . . . some commended the increased science requirement; others dreaded it . . . Ripplites suffered with the Asiatic flu . . . editors planned the biggest yearbook ever . . . Russians launched Sputnik . . . Americans countered with the Explorer . . . new Edsels dotted the highways ... a freshman compiled a record of fifty-two honor roll points. All these things helped in making 1958 Another Record Year. 4
