Ripon Elementary School seventh graders received a taste of medieval history. Students on Friday wore period costumes, enjoyed a traditional feast, and heard a 14-year-old eighth grader playing bagpipes in his Scottish folk costume. Colon Speed was the big draw he walked out onto the grassy playground to waiting students while playing the bagpipes.
