Infinite movement — Time for the soul to stretch To heights of exhilaration or plunge to depths of despair Time to identify and search Life— as only a teenager knows it Excitement that will not stop — Pulsating, quivering, somersaulting, Wafting softly like the wind — Teasing — Ripplites — groping for the elusive string to capture these years — An impossibility — Intangible — untouchable — Just a feeling — a Ripple in Time.

Ripplites question, search, experience Lives of 1,885 students revolve around Broad Ripple High School. These lives identify with Ripple and find their growth and maturity there. At Ripple these students encounter the happiness, tears, frustrations, and accomplishments of life. During the four years spent at Ripple, life passes quickly and hec- tically in days filled with study, athletic and social events, and seem- ingly never-ending work. Comprising one-eighteenth of the average life span, high school life is but a Ripple in Time. Important as a time for questioning, searching, and experi- encing life, Ripple life provides answers for teens. Faced with the responsibility of educating young people capable of meeting the demands of today ' s world, Broad Ripple has met the challenge. Over eighty per cent of Ripple graduates go on to college. A massive six-foot timepiece has been completed by the Art Department after more than a year of hard work. The de- sign was created by Mr. Virgel Clark, department head, and constructed by 1966 graduate Bill Burtt. Encircling the clock are the signs of the zodiac made of copper and enameled in various colors. Broad Ripple ' s superior accomplish- ments are evidenced in safety, Free- doms Foundation, and Gallup awards. Just as the builders have laid the foundation of the school, so has Broad Ripple laid the foundations of its students, preparing them to leave the sphere of high school and tackle successfully the problems of a com- plex world. Students will leave Ripple and the teen years, but not without a feeling of satisfaction at having been a part of Broad Ripple, and also a feeling of sadness at knowing it has been just a Ripple in Time, gone forever but locked in memory.
