In the fall of 1923, when Broad Ripple High School was admitted to the Indian- apolis Public School system, Mr. Am- merman came from the vice-principal- ship at Emmerich Manual Training High School to assume the duties of principal of this school. During his 26 years at Ripple, Mr. Ammerman has worked diligently to build a bigger and better high school. The door of Principal Ammerman ' s office is seldom closed. His friendli- ness toward all and his willingness to help at any time are expressive of the spirit of Broad Ripple. In short, Karll V. Ammerman is the spirit of Broad Ripple High School. He is shown (left) with his student secretary, Caroljane Cliff. Dean of Girls Ruth B. Carter, by un- derstanding and counseling, encourages a friendly attitude among Ripple girls. Delores GuUey is shown talking with her. Steve Bond gets the advice of Mr. Hubert Wann, who is always ready to help any boy with his problems. Rip- ple ' s dean of boys won ' t let a fellow down.

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.

BROAD RIPPLE IS EXPERTLY ADVISED BY FACULTY OF 69... Broad Ripple ' s main office is a busy place. Telephones ringing and type- writers clicking are familiar sounds to the school ' s efficiency experts. Vice-Principal C. Edgar Stahl, a Rip- ple graduate, has performed the duties of that office for nine years. He is shown (upper left) making the daily announce- ments over the P. A. system. A new addition to B. R. H. S. this year is Vi ce-Principal Harold Harding. His winning smile has made an immediate hit with Ripplites. Taking care of voluminous records is the duty of Mrs. Jeannine Howe and Miss Eunice Shivers. Mrs. Eileen Hall, registrar, is not pictured. Broad Ripple ' s bookstore is operated by Miss Ruth Gaubautz and Miss Ger- trude Daniel, bookkeeper. 19
