Moonlight makes for minor madness On Friday nights many Broad Ripple students could be seen working at a local restaurant, but when the work was over, Friday night exploded into a river of lights, sound and scores of Ripplites. It ' s the nightlife. Ripplites cheered together at home games, acted together on stage and swarmed together at pizza parlors, although homework assignments prevented all nights from being total fun and games. I Often Ripplites escaped reality by •seeing movies such as Alien , and Moonraker or serious films like ' Apocalypse Now and And Justice for All . More athletic-minded students freguenlty putt-putted under the stars, i Those inclined to dancing and music I could have rollerskated to the beat of K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Disco I rollerskating became a national craze, iand Ripplites, like all good Americans, I joined in the fun. Rock ' n roll remained popular, especially late at night when others slept, contrary to parental reguests. However, the loudest music did not come from the bedroom stereos, but from the concerts so many Ripplites freguented. More than a few made the trek to Market Sguare Arena to see the stage explode as Styx and The Jacksons performed. The Pacers drew attention at night with their fancy layups, while the Checkers excited fans with their swift goals. Theatres and play houses accomodated Ripple ' s own drama critics to view such plays as Cold Storage , Da (the number one play on Broadway), and Don ' t Drink the Water . Even without daylight, students grouped together for common goals, both work and play. Nightlife took about 35 hours out of the week, the activities varying as much as the personalities did. A closer look showed students making the most of those hours. CHECKERS CHECK . . .
