BROAD RIPPLE RECOGNIZES EVERYDAY EVENTS . . . Mr. Ammerman realizes that the ev- eryday events are stepping stones to greater responsibilities and activities. A casual conversation in the hall and a pause at the drinking fountain (upper left) are as much a part of school as the readin ' , ' ritin ' , and ' rithmetic. In the Home Nursing class each se- mester girls look forward to the baby bath demonstration. Suzanne Grob and Delores Gulley (upper center) bathe Christa Peterson, daughter of Mrs. Rose- mary Peterson, former Riparian sponsor. The Broad Ripple ROTC officers and sponsors (upper right) Suzanne Grob, Donald Shaw, Barbara Knotts, Tom Haynes, Ruth Hubbard and George Toombs stand at attention. ROTC boys perform their daily ritual of hoisting Old Glory over Ripple (lower right). Each day students gather in study halls (lower left) to prepare their assign- ment. In this way the need of regular study habits and hours is stressed.
