Congratulations Echoed Near, Far In ' 56 Superlatives always have played a part in Ripple ' s history . . . and this year was no exception! Awards for the sake of winning- alone were not Ripple ' s goal, for above all they represented rewards for learning some one thing a little better. Ruth Ann Cornish placed second in the national contest with her advertising- essay, How Advertising Affects Our Lives, while Pat Paden and Alison MacGregor placed second and third in the state contest. Alison also won the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow award at Ripple. Ripplites who won high offices were Bill Spivey, as president of the City Student Council, (picture on page 111), and Bill Kil- gore, incoming president of the Indiana High School Press Association. Representing- Ripple in the DAR Good Citizen Contest was Judy Puckett, who is shown studying for the test given all entrants. Ripple ' s delegate to the United Nations was Mer- ritt Wilson, who here recounts the highlights of his New York trip to alternate, Jane Wert. In the National Contest Ruth Ann Cornish ' s ad- vertising essay won this plaque, which Pat Paden and Alison MacGregor admire. 13

Ripples Acts Were ' Best Ever ' This Year Tom Abbett inspected Ann Bowman ' ; repairs to Jackie James ' costume. Originality! Talent! Tunes! All done superlatively : best . . . best . . . best. That ' s a nine-word review of the Ripples of ' 56. On March 22, 23, and 24 the Auditorium stage was transformed into a wonderland with the aid of grease paint, costumes, music, and actors. Farmyard Follies, written by Debbie Dod- son and Janice Kuhn, took place on Old Mac- Donald ' s farm, complete with animals. Ingredients for chocolate chip cookies, emerging from a large oven and represented in chorus lines, were featured in Cookie Capers, written by Barbara Barrick and Jean Ann Riley. This act began with a cus- tomer requesting these cookies for her tea party. A modern interpretation of the assassination of Caesar set the theme for Exit Caesar, written by Ann Bradford, Tony Cooperider, and Ruth Ann Cornish. The premiere of a big Hollywood production was the background for Lullaby of Broad- way, written by Lynne Jaggar, Ellen Mahin, Marilyn Mattox, and Randy Walti. From barnyards to Rome and back to Holly- wood — it was truly a superlative show. bic illtKMluCcd ( ' to City Cousin Moi ' Old MacDdii ■y Cousin Mouse , Charlene Trees, Shaion Ileiny provided the spice for bakers, IJojier Cuoley, Dave Smith, and Steve Woerner, in Cookie Capers. 14
