i:vi;ni Events played an important role in the life of Broad Ripple students. First came the October 5 Variety Show, new this year, in which 150 Ripplites displayed their acting, dancing, acro- batic and musical talents. A 27-mem- ber faculty-student production staff worked behind the scenes to make this event possible. The next major fall activity was the traditional Homecoming pageant and dance on October 19. Students and parents ate at the APT dinner On the Green on the practice football field before the game. A month later, on November 16 and 17, the Golden Singers presented Fiddler on the Roof after nine weeks of demanding practice. Soon after the second semester began, the Mask and Mime Society put on their annual One Acts. March 1 5 and 1 6 were set aside for the Rip- ples of 1 974, the student-written and directed vaudeville acts. Then the Thespians presented a drama on April 19 and 20. Activities during the month of May included the prom on May 1 7 and the Ripple Round-Up on May 23. Senior Commencement on June 3 concluded the major events for the second semester. 1 Off-Broad Ripple Company members Dominic Dorsey and Art Widgery entertain the Variety Show audience with limericks . 2 Seated on the steps of the Compton Street entrance, Terry Sorrell takes an after-school break in the warm spring sunshine. 13
