Comity Broad Ripple High School builds for the future socially. By sponsoring a varied co-curricular pro- gram, Ripple supplies students with the opportu- nity to work and co-operate with one another. Learning of themselves through contact with others, developing leadership, and realizing their own worth as individuals, Ripplites fly through a whirling schedule of co-curricular activities. Football was the focal point for fall activities. Kicking off the season was the September Football Jamboree. Ripplites yelled themselves hoarse as they backed the Rockets and got in the mood for cheering throughout the year. The Homecoming football game featured a pre-game queen-crown- ing and a parade of gaily decorated floats. Follow- ing the Rockets ' Homecoming victory, students at- tended the Student Council ' s Pigskin Prance, the first of many club-sponsored after-game dances. Another of these dances was the Share the Fare Dance, profits from which will pay the expense of bringing the next exchange student to Ripple. Also on the agenda were semi-formal dances, complete with the sophistication of name bands, boutonnieres, and swishy dresses. The Riparian publications sponsored the Domino Dance high- lighted by the crowning of Miss and Mr. Riparian. Among other groups sponsoring semi-formals were the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs and Historical So- ciety. The Y groups elected Miss Mistletoe at their Christmas dance; Historical Society used a valen- tine theme for their Cupid Capers. Parents, too, organized activities. The Fathers ' Association sponsored a pre-game fish-fry and a Frosh Night football game, and the Association of Parents and Teachers sponsored a fall carnival. In the spring, the fathers treated students to a semi- formal dance and presented trophies to a Ripple Joe and Jane. Stage productions entertain parents and stu- dents alike and add footlight drama to the social calendar. In this year ' s Golden Singers ' operetta, Sweethearts by Victor Herbert, the audience was taken on a humorous trip from a Belgian laundry to a king ' s castle in search for the mysterious prin- cess of Zilania. The Ripples of 1960 featured the coronation of a queen, a pageant of American his- tory, the New Orleans Mardi Gras, and the imag- inary Kingdom of Lux. This vaudeville show is student-written and directed. The lighter side of Ripplife percolates. It bubbles over with reigning queens, screaming Boosters, and growing friendships; it is flavored by in- creased maturity, improved ideals, and discarded illusions. Helping her students to develop maturity, poise, and perspective, Broad Ripple High School builds for the future socially.
