s burning cheesecake a treat? Another Galloping Gourmet? No, Broad Ripple had its own exotic chef, Tracy Hickman. She made herself far from a dieter ' s best friend by whipping up such scrumptious treats as flaming cherry cheesecake during her leisure time. Kevin Garing made his own treat, without the cherries and cheese, by building model rockets. After completing his rockets, Kevin liked to fly them and watch his own creations soar through the air. Some Ripplites even got paid for doing what they enjoyed most. April Burton, for example, made key chains and sold them at the Indiana State Fair. These key chains became a popular fad among students and even some teachers. As one walked through the halls, many beaded key chains could be seen bouncing up and down as they dangled from students ' pockets. If all else failed, the old faithful tube filled in for a missing leisure time activity, with eyes intent on a favorite soap opera or series. Alan Hague found himself in the spotlight while he performed various tricks of magic as a hobby. Freshman Mark Waycott made use of his hobby, riding a unicycle. He delivered his newspapers as he rode and had fun at the same time. Whether for a purpose or for sheer enjoyment, Ripplites participated in many activities. ABRACADABRA. . .

Not as many hungry students came to Broad Ripple after the new breakfast program began in all public schools. The program enabled students to eat breakfast as well as lunch at school. For 200 Ripplites had a choice of cereal, a donut or a toasted cheese sandwich with orange juice and milk. At least 100 people ate breakfast at Ripple a day. A new course, peer counseling, began this year. The course established a positive peer culture where students helped each other solve problems. Most of these problems were solved by peers teaching each other to behave with responsibility. In this atmosphere, MILK IS A NATURAL . . . Taking advantage of the new breakfast program, David Williams gets a bite to eat before school begins. Ripplites gave up bad habits. Instead of in the spring, Masque and Mime presented the One Acts on October 12 and 13. The Acts consisted of A VISITOR FROM FOREST HILLS from PLAZA SUITE, directed by Clif Knight and Bruce White; SORRY WRONG NUMBER, directed by Anne Matthews and Scott Shoemaker; and TRUE BLUE AND TRUSTED, directed by Sherman Burdette and Virgene Cline. Cline said, By having the One Acts in the fall, it promoted more student participation and resulted in a standing-room-only crowd — the largest audience in One Act history. Mrs. Dolly Davis sponsored the acts. What ' s New 23
