HOURS OF PERSUASION . . . Calm down dear. Norma Hubley (Elizabeth Appel) tells her husband Roy Hubley (Andy Dove) that things are fine now with Mimsey Hubley (Renee Hylton), their daughter. After locking herself in the bathroom for hours, she decided to come out. TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY ... Mr. J. Tamarack Gargle (Alan Bouwamp) forces Lily Lackamoney (Lynne McCardle) to marry him in order to save her poor family in the One Act TRUE BLUE TRUSTED. Eat toasted cheese for breakfast? 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

Students ' g et into ' outside music Although each student had his own special way of spending spare time, many got into outside music. Everything from listening to their favorite albums to singing in church choirs took up Ripplites spare time. On weekends, many students attended favorite group concerts. Earth, Wind, Fire, Brothers Johnson, Kansas, and Geno Venelli appeared, along with many other groups at the Convention Center and Market Square Arena. Seeing the same students at nearly every concert was a common sight. BEETHOVAN ' S HANDS . . . While playing his organ, David Radel practices a familar song. Listening to the radio was a favorite way for students to hear popular tunes. Headphones provided an easy and relaxing get-away from homework. Some students participated in church choirs during the week and on Sundays. Janet Smith often played her violin for special occasions at her church. With instrument a nd music in hand, many Ripplites spent endless hours practicing and perfecting songs. Many students practiced their instruments an hour a day just for the satisfaction of playing a piece of music correctly. From Market Square Arena to choir lofts, Ripplites took their music wherever they went. CONCERT GOER . . . Spending her hard-earned money, Kelly Calender buys a ticket for the Hall and Oats concert. THE BEAT GOES ON . . . Starsky Stallworth gets down on the tympanies as he experiments with his own beat. ( ' ,. •Ja B Outside Music 25
