Just as students were wondering if the long winter would ever be over, spring came to Broad Ripple in the form of melting snow and revived spirits. For the first time in Broad Ripple history there is a tie for Prom Queen, announced Junior Class President Kip Kleinschmidt as silence filled the Athe- naeum. After the crowning of Seniors Carla Chaney and Nancy Roush, the jazz music of Steve Corron brought the Emerald City of the 1974 Junior-Se- nior Prom back to life. Broad Ripple was ranked third in the city at the annual ROTC Federal In- spection in the Boys ' Gym on April 30. Ripple received tenth place in con- tention with Indiana and Michigan schools.

282 teachers and students work on 1974 Ripples acts A little time for laughter came in the form of the annual Ripples acts. For six weeks 200 Ripplites and 20 teachers worked to perfect the three acts for the March 20 and 21 shows. An additional 62 students worked behind the scenes on props, make-up, lighting, sound and scenery crews. Diabolic devils and angry angels clashed in the winning act, Keep the Home Fires Burning, a satirical view of the energy crisis, written and di- rected by Seniors Phil Arcuri and Mark Reeder. Denise Maulsby and Pam Ritchey wrote and directed From Bach to Rock, an act featuring the adventures of the Peanuts gang with a musical-his- tory time machine. In Dianne Vargo and Sarah Ryder ' s Kitchen Kapers, the employees of the financially-doomed Triviera Towers Restaurant proved the establishment worth saving.
