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

Big Events Anticipation, Enthusiasm Accent Occasions by Judy Heavenridge The many big events of the school year serve as wonderful refreshers to the regular routine of readin ' , writin ' , and ' rithmetic. The annual carnival sponsored by the Associa- tion of Parent-Teachers featured colorful booths, an old country store, and a teachers ' fashion show. The smell of fish at the Fathers ' Association annual Fish Fry before the Ripple- Ben Davis game was mixed with rain and cold weather, but this combination proved to be a winning one for the Rockets who posted another football victory. While the parents were helping to make the year more enjoyable, the teachers at the annual Open House also helped by discussing with par- ents the progress of their children. Upperclassmen added a flurry of excitement, posters, and campaign slogans to Ripple ' s school year with the choosing of their junior and senior class officers. The announcement of the winning acts for the Ripples, the student variety show, was scooped by the school newspaper, the Riparian. Frenzied rehearsals and preparations for the big two- night production immediately began. Line up here for a traditional fish sandwich at the annual Fish Fry sponsored by the Fathers ' Association. Rain or fair weather or foul, the fish fry goes on! Ripple welcomes you. Vice-Principal Harold Harding greets Mr. and Mrs. Paul ' Cook at the annual Open House.
