Students meet on the campus and in the halls to chat about dates, football, the latest local news, or more frequently, just this and that. Freshmen readily become part of the Ripple family, and seniors find it hard to break these ties.

1 % In 1882, when James Whitcomb Riley wrote his poem about the little town of Broad Ripple, plans for a community high school were already under way. Two years later a four-room brick building was built on the present site of Ripple, and in 1886 high school courses were offered for the first time. This was the beginning of our high school. Ever since that time, Ripple has been expanding steadily. Today ' s Ripple is a 55-room, four-wing building situated on a 15-acre campus. Enrollment has grown from the seven students who attended the Washington Township School in its first year to 1,672 students in 1952. Ripple ' s story, like that of White River, is forever new and never done. This, the story of 1952, is one chapter in the ever-changing Ripple story. Our yearbook is the record of Ripplites, their studies, their activities, and their fun. This is life flowing by AT BROAD RIPPLE in ' 52. To read about: ACTIVITIES . ROCKETS . . RIPPLITES . .

WE RE EVER GROWING. Green ' freshmen entering Broad Ripple plan their four-year programs from a curricu- lum of about 140 subjects. The readin ' , ' ritin ' , and ' rith- metic of Riley ' s day have grown with the school. Such courses as Ceramics, Family Living, and Driver Training add variety to studying and help Ripplites add to their knowledge in specialized fields.
