A student at South Ripley . . . a scholar, an athlete, but foremost a student. What do you have to do in order to be a student? Well, first of all, you get up at 7:22, rummage thru your closet until you find some- thing suitable to wear, grab a piece of pizza, either jump on the bus or in the car and BINGO-you qualify for a student at South Ripley. As you can imagine, once a stu- dent arrives at school, he can usu- ally find something to amuse himself, such as assemblies. A few of the assemblies which con- fronted us were the Marine band, the trampoline act, and the Roar- ing 20's show from Vincennes. Another highlight interrupting this busy day is feeding your face in the cafetorium where many a hamburger has been devoured by human garbage disposals dis- guised as SR students. Still another aspect of the treach- erous life we students lead is tear- ing yourself away from English class to go to the bathroom when you don't have to, or talking the chemistry teacher into letting you go take an aspirin which, at the moment, you don't happen to have. Now, this brings us to yet another way of life. What always seems to be right on your way right when you need it? The General Office. A daily chore for some of us might be stopping in the office for a pass-a pass to go uptown, a pass to get into class, a pass to get a pass! One of the biggest highlights in the student's day is that long awaited last period, not to men- tion the equally anticipated 3:15 bell. The student's life does not end at 3:15. You may stay after school for GAA or basketball practice, or you may have various meetings or activities to attend. ,s N 'MM Y H v- ,jf Students' work is never done 93 L pg as ml Ei: ::7' s me in 1 - , iww,,Q! in in uw!

Sophomore Bobbi Goodall is the victim of someone's prank, however, she takes it in her stride and finds the whole mess amusing.

One of the most unusual and different courses is the high school English classes. The English classes now are not just the old reading litera- ture, doing grammar, and just the basics. We have now gotten into more ex- citing activities like the study of folklore, pan- tomines, theme exchanges with Ball State, and research papers. S It doesn't matter whether you've been here one year or six, at one time or another you have gone to the library. Each individual thinks of the library in a different way. To many, it is a haven of rest , a place where one goes to read or just to think in peace. To others, it might serve as an escape from study hall and last but not least, it is also a great source of information for all. Iu- niors and seniors are espe- cially aware of this fact when research time rolls around. Mrs. Harrell's duties as li- brarian are a hundredfold. Often she ventures far beyond her line of duty to keep SR's ever-demanding students satisfied. Whatever your reason for going to the library, Mrs. Harrell is al- ways willing to help you whenever you need her . . One of the most popular courses offered here at SR is Home Economics. Usually you consider Home EC. an area in which only girls seem to be interested, and although this is true for the most part, there have been many boys who have ventured into this very field and found it both interesting and profitable. What is happening in the world today? What hap- pened yesterday? Answers to these questions and many more can be found in SR's Social Studies Department. Under the able leadership of Mr. Sutherlin and Mr. Rog- ers, the students here can become informed on all world affairs. However, as in most areas there iseroom for improvement. The equipment in our social studies department leaves much to be desired. With the exception of a few globes and maps, our in- structors are left with little more than their imagination. Films are shown to the classes if the teacher is for- tunate enough to find a pro- jector that's in working order. Through the resourceful energies of these two gentle- men, students taking courses in social studies were able to escape the pitfalls of the boredom often found in these areas. Hopefully, through the changes of com- ing years the areas of social studies can become even more interesting and chal- lenging for the students and teachers. Improving the physical fit- ness and abilities of students at South Ripley is just a part of what goes into the physi- cal education courses at SR. Getting a little flabby around the edges? Then per- haps you should go in and join the PE classes of Mr. Feist or Mrs. Helton. - .sits . Q View fm ,J . -,,.- ,i - ... .
