Whether keeping track of the causes of the Great Depression for U.S. History 2 or keeping track of the reasons for voting for Ford or Carter, checklists helped organize information for Ripplites. They were not, however, all recorded on paper. Mental checklists played as important a role as written ones. Filed in their own little slot in the brain, things to be remembered, such as buy theme paper or pick up Joe for the game formed these daily checklists. Written checklists consisted of those items too numerous or extensive to easily recall. These lists helped students check out all aspects of the year, in and around the school. Making a check of the establishments in Broad Ripple Village, students discovered new stores such as Pawn-brokers and Antique Exchange, the subject of endless court controversies because of objections by the Broad Ripple Merchants Association and local residents. Whether by gazing out of classroom windows or waiting for the 3 p.m. bus, students kept a check on the new McDonalds. Ripple influences were carried out across the street as the new hangout provided jobs for 63 Ripplites. Students checked events in the news, local and national. Prior to the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment by the Indiana Legislature, ERA supporters and opposers made constant checks as to the legislators for and against the bill. Checking on events around the nation as the NCA checked schools around the country, students read countless articles on Gary Gilmore, the first man to be executed before a firing squad in 10 years, Billy Carter, the President's small-town brother who was defeated in the election of mayor in Plains, Georgia: and Claudine Longet, who was arrested for the homicide of professional skier, Spider Sabich. Keep on checkin' never became a popular expression, but students nevertheless carried out the feat. xx X X N N V 'VVN5N. e,'.. px x Q tx ., 1 . , IYIIIIQIKILI gy Ar' as ismiiyls-E....1-gs.
