Prom perplexes anxious students I just washed my hair, and I can ' t do a thing with it . . . These are the typ- ical words spoken by so many frantic girls as the gallavant from bedroom to bathroom getting ready for their prom; and on Saturday, May 13, Ripplites were no exception. The evening sun finally set, and with a straightening of the bow tie, or a combing of the last hair into place, Ripplites were off to such places as King Cole, Stouffers, Hilton, and even the Hyatt Regency for dinner. After feasting on many delectable dishes, 150 enthusiastic couples filed into the doors of the Convention Center. Prom-goers swayed to the tunes of Midnight Sun, as they played the theme Always and Forever , from the hit album by Heatwave. The song and dance became interrupted halfway through the evening for the crowning of prom king and queen. The lucky couple, Fawn Kimbrough and Kerry Murray danced arm in arm as others watched. When the clock struck midnight, no cars turned to pumpkins, or formals to rags, but the 1978 prom came to an end, not for good though, for Ripplites will go to proms always and forever. THEIR MAJESTIES ... The newly-crowned Prom King, Kerry Murray, and Queen, Fawn Kimbrough, pose for the traditional portrait. THE AGONY OF DEFEAT?. . .

Recycled paper, now it ' s homes ANT ' S EYE VIEW . . . Looking up from the ground, one gets the feeling of the tremendous heighth of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. Not many homes contain trap doors which lead to the basement nor were Dossibly a link in the Underground Railroad, but Diana Elrod has a home A ith both. She, along with many other Ripplites, shared the interest of ' estoring old homes throughout the community. Finding an unusual home such as this, and bringing out its jnique features was an interest :ommon to all those involved in this Dasttime. Not only did the restoration of tomes take place, but a familiar community sight underwent change hroughout the course of the year. Monument Circle became ndianapolis ' own yellow brick road vhen it was closed off to everything Dut pedestrians and the street was completely bricked. Ripplites took advantage of many of the services the community has to offer, such as providing places for them to shop, eat and just have fun. Providing services went two ways though; many Ripplites participated in such things as the Jerry Lewis Telethon, by taking contribution calls and counseling at Muscular Distrophy Camp in the summer. Making people happy, O.B.R.C. performed at many nursery schools, nursing homes and the Deaf School. The community functioned by revolving in a circle; people gave as they took so no pieces were lost. Ripplites did their share and piece by piece the community thrived. SITTING PRETTY . . . Fanning his beautiful feathers, a peacock serenely sits at the In- dianapolis Zoo just waiting for viewers. The zoo is a popular and very inexpensive way for any- one to spend a fun afternoon.
