Whirring sewing machines, clanking pots and pans, and boys ' voices in the cottage are heard as the Home Economics Department educates Ripple ' s lasses and lads in clothing, cooking, and partici- pating in future family living. Clothing is the study of the construction and care of simple garments, during which students make clothes to enter in the annual Arts Salon Style Show. Foods, teaching the fundamentals of food preparation and nutrition, allows the students to enjoy the products of their efforts. Featuring the study of child care, family rela- tions, and discussions of the effects of alcohol and narcotics, is Family Living, a one-semester course to aid students in preparing for a well-adjusted family life.

Shiny shoes, brilliant brass, and alert officers identify Ripple ' s ROTC. The Corps took first place in the city by winning the marching contest in the Armed Forces Day Parade. The rifle team placed first in the city with Web- ster Wright capturing the individual city champion- ship. Helmut Riddle and Gerald Bego placed in the top ten. The Battalion also won its eleventh honor unit rating at the annual Federal Inspection held in the spring of 1958. Physical and mental fitness play an important part in the Physical Education Department, also. Basic skills and body conditioning are stressed through inter-squad competition in gym classes. Driver Education classes burst their seams as seven instructors and three automatic transmission Chevrolets worked to prepare fifteen year olds for their newly acquired driving duties. Health classes instruct pupils in basic body func- tions, mental hygiene, and community living. A special Red Cross Home Nursing unit is covered in the Girls ' Health course. Admiring ROTC Ball decorations are sponsors Nancy Nolle, Kathy Bowen, Connie Corson, Marilyn Meeker, and Pom Krobbenhoft, honorary inspection officers.
