New school year brings new looks September, 1979, not just the jginning of another school year, but a jw look at how school could begin for pplities. Rather than reporting to guidance mters and picking up schedules on e first day as usual, the entire student xiy assembled in the auditorium and arned of the teachers ' strike. With approximately two-thirds of the achers on strike for over five weeks, ich day proved to be more uncertain an the day before. For this reason any students didn ' t come, and those ho did never knew what was in store r them. When school did return to normal, it meant the same lockers, the same halls, the same rooms, but for some Ripplites it meant viewing them a year wiser and a year more mature. For the freshmen, the year was a new look at what school life could be. Students who took a closer look didn ' t see just desks and chalkboards in rooms, but saw formulas, historical dates — opportunities for learning and knowledge. They looked closer and saw things never seen before. WHACKY WATER WADERS . . . Frolicking in Williams Creek, a group of fun-loving Ripplites find a refreshing way to have a good time on a warm afternoon. H Opening 3 New leadership, bold initiatives It was a time of fear, a time of hope, a time of problems, and a time of dreams as fifteen hundred teachers went on strike while students stayed home. A new principal arrived as the old principal left. The curriculum grew as enrollment dropped. The winds of change blew over Broad Ripple, leaving a new look. The tornado came in the form of a strike that caused chaos to reign. But out of this darkness came several changes, from the school calendar to the way classes were taught. Broad Ripple became the magnet school for Humanities under a new principal, Mr. Donald Glenn. The program was headed by the Father of Humanities , Mr. Ralph Bedwell, who introduced students to philosophical debates, folk dances and paintings by Picasso. Ripplites noticed a change in atmosphere as both the city and school changed, significantly but subtly. Indy got a new hockey team and a restored downtown theatre. These c hanges made a difference in Ripplites ' daily lives, but to see that change someone had to take a closer look. TAKE THAT . . . Returning a fast ball.

Ripple students gained almost an extra month of vacation. Some students went half days while others used the time for catching up on sleep that they lost during the summer. Time was spent by tennis and non- tennis players looking closer at the sport of raquetball. Soccer also received more attention on T.V. and on the playing field. The construction of Boogie Mountain Water Slide added a splash to a hot summer ' s evening, as a new look at the old pasttime of swimming was found. Just spending time with friends i remained at the top of the list for Ripplites, a time for seniors to rem and freshmen to become better acquainted with other classmates. also kept students busy earning mc for weekends, school and gas. Looking back on the 1980 schcx year, Ripplites were able to recap! memories of friends and activities, highlights and disappointments. Bl after taking an even closer look at year, students found their experieri mostly rewarding, exciting and generally worthwhile. FLYING A KITE . . . After the reconstruction o the Childrens Museum, colorful kites became a temporary display between the floors. A skylight added a few beams of light to compliment the colors. Considered the largest museum of its type, the Childrens Museum includes five floors, a walk-through cave, and a restored carousel in operation. Recapturing 7 Homecoming hysteria hits Old friends embraced, a new queen was crowned and the football team won the big game. Students paraded across town and later danced the night away at the homecoming dance. But before all that happened, Ripplites had to spend cold nights in garages planning and building floats. The football team had to psych itself up to face the favored Northwest Pioneers. Homecoming involvement ranged from campaigning for candidates to selling mums. Even Mrs. Dearing, head counselor, stashed food in her office for the pregame corndog dinner. Originally, the activities were to be done after school. But as the deadline approached, teachers found fewer students in the classroom and more on the practice football field placing finishing touches on cars and floats. The halls of Broad Ripple became even more crowded, with the last- minute plan-making of students. The pep session only increased the suspense as students wondered who would win best float, who would be king and queen and, ultimately, which team would become the victor in the evening ' s game. ANXIOUS MOMENTS . . With high expectations, Coach Pat Koers and the Ripple defensive line await the next important touchdown which would send the Rockets to a 15-13 victory. 8 Homecoming PIERCE THE PIONEERS .

While work was not high on the list of enjoyable summer activities, making money to finance summer trips, clothes or cars made working the smart thing to do. Other students found their extended vacation a good time to sleep, stay out until all hours, diet, visit the State Fair with friends, or learn who was cheating A STEP UP . . . Amid the grandeur of white marble pillars, Eric Roth poses on the steps of the Capitol Building where he spent his summer as a page to Congressman Andy Jacobs, Jr. on whom in their favorite soap. For Ripplites who sought educational experiences, colleges such as I.S.U., I.U., Wabash and Ball State provided an opportunity to learn new skills, meet people and get a smattering of college life. However varied their lifestyles, students came together on the view that summer was a vacation worth waiting for. FOREST FEAST . . . Members of Golden Singers race to load their plates with such goodies as baked beans, cold cuts and chips and dip at their annual potluck picnic at Turkey Run State Park, June 2, 1979. Thespians strive for uniqueness What do dirty brown hushpuppies, burnt sofas and royal blue T-shirts with big blue G ' s have in common? They were just a few of the unusual items that went into the production of the 1979 Thespian play, God ' s Favorite. The Neil Simon comedy about a rich New Yorker ' s test of faith posed special technical problems for both cast and crew. The crew designed and built two sets; one resembled a posh, suburban mansion and the other a burned room. The costume crew of God ' s Favorite had their work cut out for them. Each of the eight performers required three changes of clothes and the last set of clothes needed to be burned and blackened with chalk. After countless trips to Goodwill, K-Mart and ASTOUNDING . . . The Benjamin twins stare incredulously at their father after learning the prowler got in through the balcony door. the Indiana Repertory Theatre, the crew eventually came up with the needed costumes. Over 100 students participated in the 1979 Ripples Acts. There were three acts and each was written and directed by students. Ready, Aimes, Fire featured Aimes Bond (Brett Foster) in an adventure in Heaven. Ledipus , which won the best act, took a new look at the classic play Oedipus . Hairnet , the third act took its theme from the old television series Dragnet. The combined efforts of the casts and crews came together throughout the spring, resultings in productions that carried across their uniqueness to the audience. ATHLETES FOOT.

Spring Productions 1 3 Ripplites step back and ' spin ' Not spinning straw into gold, but rather cotton into thread, Ripplites Dania Morris and Ruth Roettger stepped back into time and participated in many activities that their pioneer counterparts would have had. The girls worked as demonstrators of various early American living technigues at the Childrens Museum. Many Ripplites also visited the museum, the largest of its kind in the country, for they could take another look at the history of the U.S., and see it in a totally unigue way — as displayed for the child. Another popular historic spot in the community visited by Ripple students, Conner Prarie Farm, lets one take a closer look at all facets of pioneer life. The settlement consists of restored log cabins, barns, and stables to rolling pastures and fields. Sports-minded Ripplites utilized the downtown area freguently throughout the year attending basketball and hockey games and even truck drag SERENITY . . . Many Ripplites enjoy the outdoors and getting back to nature, each with a special spot such as this serene and peaceful old farmhouse located near a Ripplite ' s home. races at Market Sguare Arena. Students also attended a myriad of concerts at the arena, and such special events as the circus. Not far from Market Sguare, a new tennis stadium, built for the U.S. Clay Court Tennis Championships, attracted many Ripplites too. Whether paddling a canoe or racing a raft down White River, Ripple students used the facilities at Broad Ripple Park guite often. Not only did the students use it, but during the month-long strike, the park became the location of striking teachers ' rallies. Ripplites saw much more to the park than the familiar black locomotive, but recognized it as an asset to the community. Also close to home, some Ripplites just spent lazy Sunday afternoons feeding ducks at the canal, taking a closer look at what the community had to offer them. AWAITING THE CALL OF ORDER . . . Assembled at Broad Ripple Park, a group of striking Broad Ripple teachers await further instructions on picketing procedures and the latest negotiation developments. CLEANING CLAY COURTS . . Brushing the clay off the stadium court before the matches begin, the ballboys are practically the only people in the newly built Sports Center, home of the U.S. Clay Court Championships. 14 Community BUBBLE, BUBBLE, TOIL AND TROUBLE ' . . .

Pondering over the menu at Houlihan ' s Old Place, Cary Brown and Glenda Thomas spend an evening at the nearby restaurant, known for its unigue interior. RING AROUND THE RACK Hard at work, Lisa Burnett spends time tagging, bagging, and hanging clothing at a dry cleaners. Employment remains an important part of nightlife activities. 16 Nightlife Moonlight makes for minor madness On Friday nights many Broad Ripple students could be seen working at a local restaurant, but when the work was over, Friday night exploded into a river of lights, sound and scores of Ripplites. It ' s the nightlife. Ripplites cheered together at home games, acted together on stage and swarmed together at pizza parlors, although homework assignments prevented all nights from being total fun and games. I Often Ripplites escaped reality by •seeing movies such as Alien , and Moonraker or serious films like ' Apocalypse Now and And Justice for All . More athletic-minded students freguenlty putt-putted under the stars, i Those inclined to dancing and music I could have rollerskated to the beat of K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Disco I rollerskating became a national craze, iand Ripplites, like all good Americans, I joined in the fun. Rock ' n roll remained popular, especially late at night when others slept, contrary to parental reguests. However, the loudest music did not come from the bedroom stereos, but from the concerts so many Ripplites freguented. More than a few made the trek to Market Sguare Arena to see the stage explode as Styx and The Jacksons performed. The Pacers drew attention at night with their fancy layups, while the Checkers excited fans with their swift goals. Theatres and play houses accomodated Ripple ' s own drama critics to view such plays as Cold Storage , Da (the number one play on Broadway), and Don ' t Drink the Water . Even without daylight, students grouped together for common goals, both work and play. Nightlife took about 35 hours out of the week, the activities varying as much as the personalities did. A closer look showed students making the most of those hours. CHECKERS CHECK . . . Defense player Kelly Davis, of the Indianapolis Checkers, battles against an opponent in their first game of the season. After one year without a hockey team, the Checkers skated onto the ice, ready to bring the excitement back to Indy. Nightlife 17 GRAND ENTRANCE . . . Showing off her sheep wool fleece vest and fancy boots, Shelly Carter pauses dramatically in the doorway of a music room as she enters her class late. DO I SMILE NOW? . . . Illustrating the together look of a three-piece-suit, Nelson Jones poses with Kelly Daniels, who displays a designer sweater with the familiar A insignia of Aigner. NOT IN A HURRY . . . Biology not being one of his favorite classes, J. A. Lacy, dressed in a striped cotton shirt and grey corduroy Levis, takes his time getting to class. THE OLD WATER HOLE . . . Gail Breedlove goes western in Frye boots, fashion jeans, vest and cowl neck sweater. Styles like this layered look kept students warm in spite of lowered thermostats. 18 Fads And Fashions Fashions create flair in Ripple While Indy did not have the fashion reputation of such cities as Paris, New York or Boston, a closer look showed a great interest among Ripplities in following the latest trends. However, when one thinks of Broad Ripple, one thinks of a melting pot and such is particularly the case with fashion tastes; basically most students fall into one of four categories: super prep, semi-casual, fashion model or T-shirt groupie. For the fashion model, designer jeans and Candies made the in list again as well as shoes, boots, sweaters, belts, outerwear, underwear and even umbrellas earring the mark of distinction. Clothes displaying the signatures of such designers as Aigner, Calvin Klein and Pierre Cardin made the rounds from parties to classrooms and back again. For students who found the designer craze ridiculous, not to mention expensive, Levis and cords with plaid flannel shirts filled the gap of what to wear. Corduroy and tweed blazers came out of closets as cooler weather began to sneak up on Ripple students. Another popular style allegedly started on college campuses, the collegiate look (better known as preppie ) included Topsider or Bass shoes, oxford cloth shirts, Izod sweaters and pleated pants. The group constantly cropping up in Ripple hallways turned out to be interested not in looks but in total comfort. The casual crowd preferred its own look: faded jeans and the popular T-shirt. A closer look brought all these groups into focus and like a prism every facet of students ' individuality caught the light. BOOKING INTO FASHION ... Dressed for style, yet comfort, Sherry Kohlmeyer shows the prac- ticality of the new look: sleek Calvin Klein jean skirt, versatile blouse and cordoroy blazer. Fads And Fashions 19 Super stage becomes tiny theater 5, 4, 3, 2, One Acts! The countdown began with the selection of a one act play and its cast. Next on the agenda came preparation. Long hours and late nights were spent rehearsing, con- structing, and polishing so that each act would contain its own theatrical flair. Slowly, the stage was transformed into a miniature theater complete with seats, set and seclusion. As showtime neared, the make-up, publicity, paint, and stage crews began their creative tasks. Finally, the moment of truth was at hand. With a flick of a switch and an explosion of light, there emerged the 1980 One Acts, presented by Masgue and Mime. The three acts presented were Still Alarm , and Amicable Parting , both by George Kaufman; and selections from A Thurber Carnival by James Thurber. All three acts gave particpants and spectators a unigue view of the theater. The stage is made into an intimate three-guarter setting, which gave actors and student directors an opportunity to experiment and learn. It ' s strange to be so close to the audience, commented one actor, If you flub up or make a mistake, everybody knows about it! However, all agreed that One Acts were an exciting challenge. BUT YOU LOVE BLACK BEAUTY! . While dividing up possessions after their divorce, Bill (Alan Bouwkamp) and Alicia (Courtney Spudic) begin arguing over books in Amicable Parting .

Steve Tyler sings one of Aerosmith ' s hit singles to the delight of the crowd. Two of the group ' s guitar players back up Tyler during the song, which is one of Aerosmith ' s best known. 22 Concerts Lights go out when show begins The huge crowd, which filled the small waiting area to its capacity, shoved its way toward the entrance to the stage area, trying to get in. Each individual tried to grab one of the coveted front row seats, although in reality only about twenty-five people would get one. There, the music is loudest and the view best. Finally, the policemen holding the doors, opened them and quickly got out of the way, as the great sea of humanity flowed through the doors like waves rolling up a deserted beach. In a few moments, the formerly empty and stone-quiet arena became jam- packed and buzzing with activity. AND THEN THERE WAS LIGHT ... As hurried preparations were being made for the Styx concert, many technical staff members could be seen adjusting and setting many of the special lighting effects for the concert. Suddenly the crowd hushed with the dimming of the lights. Many people flicked lighters on and off, each adding to the mellow glow which encompassed the arena. Almost as quickly as the noise had gone down, a loud ear- piercing roar filled the arena as the warm-up band appeared on stage. The music they played created an air of electricity in the crowd. When the warm-up band finished, the crowd grew more excited in anticipation of the featured group ' s appearance. At last the group emerged from behind the curtain. The crowd seemed to explode as it cheered with approval. Everyone in the arena was in a state of elation. According to an avid concert fan, The long wait is always worth it. Seeing and hearing a live band play is a really fantastic experience . ' ' SERIOUS STRUMMIN ' . . . Blue Oyster Cult ' s bass guitar player pounds out a solo at their concert.

Concerts 23 Strike halts pajama production Hey there, you with the gum in your mouth, screamed Mr. Gene Poston, get rid of it! Aside from the reprimiands about gum and such, Mr. Poston and Mrs. Lucinda Paul made little ' small talk ' at rehearsals and instead went straight to work on the show. Golden Singers couldn ' t waste time in their hurried production of The Pajama Game for the teachers ' strike delayed the musical two weeks. Therefore, everyone raced with the clock in order to complete rehearsals on time. The music department ' s two student teachers, Mr. Dana Taylor and Miss Linda Clingerman, spent many hours assisting Mr. Poston and Mrs. Paul in directing the production. The Golden Singers weren ' t the only students working hard on The Pajama Game. Members of the orchestra began preparing several weeks in advance. Mrs. Marilyn Zimmerman and Mr. Rudolph Finnell directed the orchestra through a strict schedule, rehearsing the overture and accompaniment. Everything was accomplished in spite of the race with the clock. The Pajama Game was a story of union versus management in the Sleep TAKE IT EASY GLADYS . . .

The new superintendent, Sid Sorokin (Greg Dehnke), felt that ' a new town was a blue town ' until he was acquainted with the head of the grievance committee, Babe Williams (Marsha Maroney), Babe and Sid fell in love which quickly led to trouble because union and management just didn ' t mix. The conflict arose because the union asked for a seven and a half percent salary increase which was flatly refused by the boss, Mr. Hasler (Alan Bouwkamp). Mr. Hasler ' s secretary, Gladys Hotchkiss (Courtney Spudic) gave the show some ' steam heat ' with a lively dance routine performed during a union meeting. This only antagonized her jealous boyfriend, Heinzie (Todd Rinck) who was the factory ' s time study man. The plot thickened and problems occurred right and left but as is the case for most musicals, everyone lived happily ever after in love. SWINGIN ' HER HIPS . . . Gladys Hotchkiss (Courtney Spudic) and the boys attempt to lift morale by providing much appreciated entertainment in the form of ' steam heat ' during a union meeting. I 24 MusicaJ SMALL TALK . . .

The American flag was displayed prominently in stark contrast to years past. I tf c NO Kim SCO- m ■ N 1 26 70 ' s Issues Wars, scandals and tragedies mar confused decade America found herself fighting an unpopular war in a jungle covered land called Vietnam. Richard Milhaus Nixon was President and the Hon. Spiro Agnew presided over the U.S. Senate. Students burned draftcards on campus and demonstrated in Washington. America seemed to be falling to pieces and many were worried about the future. However, the future saw women, the largest minority, assert their power. Congress passed the Egual Rights Amendment and the Supreme Court ruled anti-abortion laws unconstitutional. Demands of egual pay for equal work and affirmative action programs were heard. Females achieved election to public offices as well as higher and more powerful positions in the business world. But soon afterwards, an anti- feminist backlash started. By 1980, the ERA looked dead and the prospect of women being drafted into the Army made equality look less attractive. Other minority groups became more vocal and suddenly there were new Leftists, Gray Panthers, and even Gay Rights. The candidate who seemed to typify the liberal of the 70 ' s was Sen. George McGovern, democratic candidate for President in 1972. Despite the backing, McGovern lost in a landslide to Richard Nixon. The Nixon- Agnew team ' s glory was short lived as political scandals forced both to resign within a year and a half. Gerald R. Ford became president. Then Vietnam fell, the FBI and CIA assassination plots, and Congressional scandals unfolded. Traditional trust of political officials became the cynicism of the 70 ' s. Gov. Ronald Reagan ' s anti- government speeches were applauded and a tax revolt started. America turned conservative, but elected a moderate Jimmy Carter. Three years later, American hostages were seized by Iranian militants demanding the return of the deposed Shah of Iran. An outraged American public showed its unanimous support for the President and for the first time in history the U.S. stood united. But America ' s attention soon shifted to Russia after its invasion of Afghanistan. America found both world opinion on its side and the third world against Russia. America pulled out of the Moscow Olympics in protest of the Russian actions leaving America ' s amateur athletes in a state of confusion. America in 1980 was at peace, not war. The world looked to her for leadership not crimes. Students demonstrated for solar power and against Iran where a few years before they demonstrated for a revolution against war. America faced many challenges in the 70 ' s but despite all the scandals, she has survived after all these years. BALANCING ACT . . . Speaking before the Indiana House and Senate, U.S. Senator Richard Lugar (R-Ind), lobbies for the passage of a bill asking Congress to balance the Federal budget. HOMETOWN HERO . . .

The I.S.U. graduate is the reigning World Men ' s Gymnastic Champion. 70 ' s Issues 27 70 ' s: Quest for personal pleasure Men became women, Bo Derek became a sex symbol, pet rocks caught the nation ' s eye, test tube babies were born, and King Tut reigned again. A decade of bizarre incidents and weird people combined to produce a time of turmoil, changes and fun. Once upon a time life was simple and predictable. If a baby was a boy all understood where he came from and that one day he would be a man. But the technology of the 70 ' s discovered ways to fool Mother Nature. For a few thousand dollars faces could be redesigned, bodies rebuilt, and sexes changed. Nothing was impossible. From T.A. to T.M., Psychology was a topic of common concern. People read I ' m Okay You ' re Okay, and listened to songs like Do You Know. Psychology came of age in the decade that started with LSD on the campuses and ended with Valium in the homes. Reality was escaped as the whole world became a stage. Star Wars was seen several times and unknown number of quarters spent on Pinball games. Mark Spitz won seven gold medals but Olga Korbit won America ' s heart. The Lone Ranger lost his mask, but Superman flew again. Muhammed Ali made boxing popular, while Bobby Knight made I.U. basketball champs. Frisbees soared, skateboards zoomed, and giant balloons raced. The political movements of the 60 ' s had become the fun moves of the 70 ' s. The eternal search for the unique led Americans to buy mood rings, winged hats, and even a book which not only said nothing of value, but nothing at all. Life was something in the 70 ' s; it was a time of changing tastes and personal pleasures all in the pursuit of fun. Although bad-mouthed as the Me Decade for most students it was the only decade . A NEW WOMAN . . . Controversial tennis star Dr. Renee Richards prepares to serve to Chris Evert Loyd who won the match 6-1, 6-0.

All memories of athletic endeavors that many students could relate to. A well-rounded education and lifestyle included some type of athletic competion whether in front of fans at the Friday night basketball game or a friendly game of frisbee on Sunday afternoon. Some strove to be the Most Valuable Player , while others just liked being active and having a good time. No matter what the weather outside, Ripplites found some activity to keep them busy. If they were not swimming or biking in July, they were sledding down Butler hill in January. Raquet sports such as ping pong, tennis, bad mitten, and raquet ball suited many tastes, both indoors and out. When replaying memories of the 1980 school year, a large part included a variety of sports activities.

They finished with a winning 10-0 season record. This year ' s varsity team went to 3-0, which they held No. I in the city with the defeat of Chatard, Manual, and Shortridge before their first loss to the team they beat in their Jamboree, which was Marshall. Senior back-up quarterback Greg Dehnke stepped in to fill the shoes of first string quarterback Dave Christopher due to a leg problem. Christopher was out of action for a little over three weeks.

Varsity Football 33 Junior Varsity turns Ripple tide Building for tomorrow seemed to be the key to success for the junior varsity football team as they rolled to 9-1 in 1979 and runners-up in the city. When asked for the motivation behind the great record, Coach John Tremain said, The reason for our success was the great offensive and defensive lines we were able to put on the field this year. The line showed no sign of weakness due to the size of the players, for example, tackles Dean Johnson and Victor Martin. The offense, lead by Mark Dorsey at quarterback, Michael Murff and George Black wide receivers, and John Panyard at tight end, scored 148 points in the eight games played. Even though the varsity will suffer graduation losses, the j.v. will help to make Ripple a strong contender in the next two years.

The 1979 freshman football team finished the year with a record of 1-7. Coach Newton said, Many of the team members had the potential to be chosen for the High School Ail- American Team, but they were not able to get it together as a team. The Ripple hopefuls include running backs Pat Brodnex, who had never been beaten in the sprints, and Dave Latimore, another eighth grade track star. Potential lineman for All-City were Mark Webster and Curtis Maxey. Coach Scott McCluckie added, The teacher ' s strike did have an effect on the players ' attitudes. BRING IT ON! . . .

Inconsistency was the biggest problem stated new Head Coach John Tremain. He added beating a team like Chatard and losing to teams such as Attucks showed lack of concentra- tion. If we had improved in that area we might have been a state contender. While Assistant Coach Rodney Clark helped varsity work with the team concept, Reserve Coach Elliott Segal was expecting a big turnout for junior varsity tryouts. Entering the season with an inexperi- enced team, Coach Segal ' s first priority was to strengthen the pitching staff. Ending with a 3- 1 1 season record he felt his team improved.

Other team members included Lynn Danials, Therese Love, Cindy Randa, Theresa Rabin, Trina Stewart, and Wendy Rumple. Lack of experience was one of the main problems of the 1979 Boys Tennis team. Only two lettermen returned from the previous year and two freshmen earned a varsity position. Seniors Bernie Combs, Joe Bill, and Stuart Odle played varsity without having ever competed on the high school level. Team captain Brad Cooper advanced to the semi-final round of the city tournament where he was beaten by the city champion from Cathedral.

They started practice in late August and the season ended in early October with Sectionals. Practices at 7:00 a.m. were the hardest to get through , said Peggy Calkins, but she enjoyed the actual matches with other schools. The only victory for the girls came when they played Brebeuf. Kate Fenstermaker and Lisa Spudic were the co-medalists of that match. Mrs. Sandra Fenstermaker, the girls coach, has been with the team for the past four years. It was her oldest daughter that started the team six years ago. Four months earlier, Coach William Smith and the boys golf team wrapped up a season consisting of only one win which was over Attucks. The boys felt that Attucks was the only team that they were equal to or better than. Having a young team playing more experienced teams was very rewarding to them. Mike and Nick Law thought that being up against a lot of good teams could be a factor in the way a team plays. On the other hand, it also makes you want to work that much harder towards a winning season. Senior Ben Roush led the team as the number one player and set a fast pace for the other team members to follow. The boys placed 14th in the City, and 16th in the sectionals, respectively.

They were John Tensmeyer, Steve Jeffers, and Mark Waycott. Also joining this year ' s team were William Mays, Mary Beth Blome, and Hunt Waycott.

As for next year, with four lettermen returning, the team appears competitive. Woody added. A realistic goal we are shooting for, is to finish in the top five in the Sectionals. The whole team is going to be training during the winter in order to participate in track next Spring. This will help the runners considerably because the practice will keep them in shape.

What do these all have in common? These necessities were some of the many requirements it took to be a cheerleader. Last Spring, try-outs for the junior varsity and varsity positions were held, where four varsity and three junior varsity girls became members of the squad. The squads cheered on the football team throughout the season. The decision was unanimous to have retry-outs for the basketball season. They held the try-outs in November bringing in two varsity and two new junior varsity girls. Cheerleading took a great deal of time and patience as well. The varsity and junior varsity squads practiced twice a week for two hours and half an hour before each game. Cheerleading included participation in strenuous routines and often pulled muscles, and yet, cheerleaders refused to acknowledge defeat. Thoughts about upcoming games and especially cheering for an exceptionally good basketball team made cheerleading very worthwhile. Despite all of the work, rowdy Pep Rallies and enthusiastic fans made the experience meaningful. Four hours of practice, two days a week prepared the squads for camp and for the upcoming football season. The cheerleaders attended Golden Eagle Cheerleading Camp last summer which entailed several routines of Pom- Pons, jumps, cheers, and chants. The cheerleaders returned with two blue ribbons for outstanding performances. ALL ALO NE . . .

Varsity volleyball coach Jacgueline Cain said, Some games were played with as little as five players at a time. She also said that the team had many good players. Cain described senior Robin Williams as a great asset to the squad. The basketball team acquired two new coaches, Ms. Shirley Lambert and Miss Joyce Seigers. Coach Lambert headed up the girls varsity basketball team which had a poor season, but several exciting moments. The team was lead by Crystal Hayes who averaged 13.5 points a game. The junior varsity compiled a more successful record of 8- 3 after 1 1 games under Coach Seigers.

The year looked to be an excellent year for three of the team ' s seniors who, through a great deal of dedication and training, had come into the season in perhaps their best shape ever. The senior tri- captains Stuart Odle, Tracey Henderson, and David Clark all competed in tournaments last spring, and worked out during the summer, always looking forward to this year ' s city and sectional tournaments. The turn-out at the beginning of the season was good, explained Henderson, but after the first couple of weeks, the number dwindled! At the time of the season ' s first match only RAP SESSION . . . While waiting for his injured opponent to recover, Senior tri-captain Stuart Odle talks with Coach Orban about strategies for the closing period. nine of the possible weight classes could be filled, then injuries started to plague the Rocket grapplers. Junior Victor Martin was injured during the third match of the season and was out of action for three weeks. Also the night before the city tournament Clark suffered an untimely shoulder separation. Sophomore Danny Beaman and Senior Odle advanced to the third rounds in the tourney. Odle was unable to continue because of an injured back acguired in the second round. Henderson advanced to the final round, despite a pulled groin muscle attained in the second round, but had to default because the injury became more severe. As sectionals approached things looked bleak as Clark reinjured his shoulder and Odle injured his knee. Due to the injuries, the team had to give up as many as seven forfeits in a single match.

Ripplites took a closer look at not only historical figures, but at deriving formulas, writing essays and even shearing sheep. With the initiation of Humanities course offerings, Broad Ripple became the magnet school for the Humanities. The program brought various musicians, artists, and lecturers to the school; and students participated in numerous projects. Added to an already versatile curriculum, such new courses as photography, World Religions and Art Appreciation made schedule choices harder and harder. Ripplities had many extracurricular activities to choose from, too. Whether it was exercising the mind in Brain Game, or exercising the body on the basketball court, Broad Ripple had organizations to comply with everyone ' s interests. Students tooK. closer looks at the community through work on various service projects throughout the area. Ripplites visited nursing homes, held car washes, and worked with other civic groups. Through their activities in and outside of school, Ripplites received a view of all facets of life. Questions arose in students ' minds, and they pondered the ideals that made the answers. Ripplites learned through asking guestions and taking new and closer looks at life around them. ABSORBED IN THOUGHT .

Hospital adding a little sparkle to some child ' s Christmas. The Student Senate not only helped small children, but also helped the student body. With school dances and candy grams at Christmas, they tried to bring Ripplites together. In regular meetings, Student Senate discussed issues important to students, and planned service and fund raising projects. Student Senate wasn ' t the only active club. The National Honor Society kept busy with activities from Homecoming at the beginning of the year to the induction of the new members at the end of the year. In between, they had a car wash for the school, educational speakers, and a Thank God Finals Are Over party. They also brought Christmas Spirit to sick and old by caroling at nursing homes. Although each of the clubs had been around for many years, they worked hard to discover a new look for 1980. HOW ABOUT A CARWASH? . . .

These and many other questions were tackled by Broad Ripple ' s Brain Game Team. Members met in August for a preliminary meeting and as the strike erupted, several more students became members. The team then lost their first match to Tech by only one question. While Brain Game members geared their thoughts toward a better season next year, another team began practice for their first move. The Chess Team started out with high hopes, but as the matches accumulated, the other teams proved the better players. When asked what made being a member of the Chess Team an interesting experience, Tim Johnson replied, The challenge of competing with upperclassmen on a one-to-one basis made me a much better player, :nd also I got to know people from other schools that I wouldn ' t have known otherwise.

However, members were encouraged to excel in other subjects as well as science. Science Club activities included special tours of Lilly Corporation and Methodist Hospital. In computer math classes the teacher learned right along with the students. This was my introductory year in computer math, Mr. Malin said. I ' ve taken several classes at I. U. P. U.I. to advance myself in this field. His enthusiasm paid off as more than 100 students enrolled in his class. With both math classes and Science club, Ripple students gained benefits from classroom and actual situations to enrich their understanding of the role numbers play. How much knowledge they obtained from these classes is hard to tell, but the value of the courses was undeniable. The more intellectually inclined at Ripple found the year to be an educational one, but most realized that there was still more to learn. FOCUSING IN . . .

With his bare hands, art teacher Sheldon Kantor shows English World Civ. students Jerry Purcell and Shetone Briggs how to mold clay with their hands. Magnet school; Ripple thrives As magnet school for the Humanities, Broad Ripple attracted interest in classes that moved away from traditional formal education, to include less written assignments and more group participation. World Civilization English, a team- taught freshman class, combined social studies with English literature and composition. The interdisciplinary- course used teaching aids from plays on religion to clay heads in the double period, double credit class. The second-year class, Humanites 1 2, which became Creative Man second semester, stressed roles emotions play in the field of the creative arts. 19th 20th Century America, the study of America from 1776 to the present, was a two period, two credit class offered to both juniors and seniors. The class, taught through art, literature, music, history and science, was intended to interrelate all of these subjects into one. Once the students were taught facts, these facts were incorporated in unit projects such as fairs, and radio and television shows. WE ' RE HERE TO SERVE YOU, . .

Humanities 67 Nerves on edge as voting nears Social Studies is the key to man ' s society, says Mr. Ralph Bedwell, head of the Social Studies department. Social Studies teaches the knowledge of the past, present, and future. It makes the students aware of government and the part they play in it. This year government classes learned about past governments and the similarities of the Democratic and Republican parties. They discovered that citizens can fulfill their civic duties in a number of ways, such as serving on juries, serving in the armed forces, or taking part in community projects, which seek to influence government participation. A new face appeared this year in the social studies department. Mrs. Cheryl McManama joined the ranks of Ripple ' s social studies staff. A FORK IN THE ROAD . . .

Green Beret ... In the woody area of Camp Atterbury Reserve Training Center, Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp (JROTC) Ripplites whispered these words, in a two week encampment that taught survival, marksmanship, but more important-leadership. This same leadership was instructed in classes every day as students took on more leadership responsibility, according to senior Bridgett Loy. Sergeant Major William Ferguson felt that his method of letting students run the program was guite successful after reinforcing old standards and making a few minor adjustments. Seniors Timothy Arnold, Lula Odom, and Carlton Howard did a good job fitting into the program, said Sgt. Ferguson. Aside from everyday class work, JROTC had individual units that performed for special occasions and competition. Broad Ripple had a Ceremonial Guard, the only city school with such a guard. The unit performed only at funerals honoring war veterans that were members of the American Legion. The male drill team consisted of nine members who twirled 12 pounds of steel and wood which they called a rifle. The female drill team dazzled spectators with their well choreographed routine, while the IDR drill team worked with straight military drill. A new team, the Pentathlon Unit, competed against various schools by exhibiting strenuous exercises. FIRING SQUAD? ... No, it ' s the ROTC Color Guard, practicing the presentation of colors.

By passing the blanket at football games, which averaged 100 dollars per game, and skating their hearts out at the roller rink, the APT helped the band raise the money for the new uniforms. In addition to the new uniforms, two new teachers took to the podium. Mr. R.E. Finnell, the new band director, has participated in several professional bands and Mrs. Marilyn Zimmerman, a former music teacher at Brebeuf, taught orchestra, girl ' s chorus and the new course in keyboards.

Besides the regular activities, ceramics students gained out-of-class experience through a visit to Bogier Doner ' s Studio. This proved to be a thrilling experience for the future potters. Mr. Kantor, department head, had a full schedule in and out of school. He supervised departmental orders, assisted with lesson plans and taught night school. In addition to all this, Mr. Kantor became a part of the newly formed Humanities department. Art students learned much by doing. Art classes gave students the chance to escape from nouns, develop their creative talents and use the opportunity to tell Pablo Picasso to eat his heart out. WOOD AND TWINE . . .

During a foods demonstration, Kenneth Sampler explains how he created his pigs in a blanket, weiners surrounded with biscuits, for his class project. His classmates later got to sample his creation. Ever wonder how to cook a turkey, build a model house, or rebuild a car? It so, Home Economics and Industrial Arts provided the places to learn. Preparing a Thanksgiving dinner kept the Home Ec. students busy. The Future Homemakers of America sold pom-pons for two weeks. They used the money to buy food, cooking utensils, and other eguipment used in the classes. In the Industrial Arts room, woodworks students repaired tables and chairs. Auto mechanics students learned the P ' s and Q ' s of repairing a car, changing oil, and rotating tires. Making blueprints and minature house models gave drafting and architecture students a chance to look more closely at the possibility of building a house. They could use their own taste in designing their future dream house . RESURRECTING . . .

Answering questions about a page of comic figures, Mrs. Christie Moulton explains some of the interesting facets to curious German students Judith Moore and Marilou Mendel. 86 German, Spanish Clubs Fun, food, festivities for German, Spanish Clubs From a visit with Saint Nikolus to dining at local restaurants with German food, the German club had a full year. This year, after trying several different restaurants, they decided to go the Cafe Heidelberg. Most of the people found the food to be superb. Another popular German restaurant was the Hansel and Gretel which several members patronized. To celebrate Christmas, they gathered to eat a typical American family dinner coupled with a gift exchange among members. During the holiday season, German clubs throughout the city participated in a German style polka. Afterwards, a dinner followed with German food, good laughs, and above all, great fun. German club members were not the only ones helping to give Broad Ripple an international flair . Spanish club members, along with other foreign language clubs, held an International Hayride at Eagle Creek Park. Besides winning Best Convertible in Broad Ripple ' s Homecoming Parade, the Spanish Club made pinatas for their traditional Christman party. Other club activities included selling candy in order to raise enough money for all the members to take a trip to the famous Restaurante Toledo. MAKE ' EM AND BREAK ' EM . . . Members of the Spanish club discover that making pinatas can be a very sticky business. Although the work is messy, the candy within is well worth the effort.

Both the French and Latin Clubs ' cars were in their positions. Just as the band began to tune up, disaster struck the Latin Club; their driver could not find the keys. With just seconds before the parade was to begin, the entire club frantically searched the area for the missing keys. Reaching down inside the flowers adorning the car, the club ' s King Candidate, Harryl Hale, found the keys to save the day for the Latin Club. The French and Latin Clubs started the year with Homecoming just days from their first club meetings. But in spite of the terrific pressure of time, both clubs quickly organized and things began to fall into place. The work seemed almost too much to handle, spokesman for the Latin Club Bart Home said. But, he added, with steady effort on behalf of the club members, we finished it. Along with hours of tedious labor loyal club members put into decorating the cars, other sacrifices were necessary. In the case of the Latin Club, they forfeited their chance to participate in the Sixth Annual Chariothon in order to participate in Homecoming. As soon as the Homecoming excitement died down, French Club members peddled such wares as jewelry and beanbags to finance an excursion to Canada in the summer. While French Club gave students the old sales pitch, Latin Club drafted a Club Constitution and made plans for a number of Roman Banquets. They also discussed fund-raising ideas for various charitable organizations. Once the year finally got its feet off the ground, each club hoped to make a go of it. In the words of one of the officers, It was an example of how well we were able to do in spite of a late start. Each club worked hard to compensate for the time lost. GTODYUP YOU DOGGIES .

It included physical activities and sports of all kinds programmed to improve posture, physical development, and general fitness and health. Physical education also provided fun and recreation. A new teacher joined the Broad Ripple physical education department. Miss Joyce Siegers was transfered to Broad Ripple during the middle of the first semester due to a mistake in teacher placement. Miss Siegers joined Mr. Rodney Clark and Mr. Pat Koers in teaching the classes which generally consisted of freshmen. Often they combined their classes to challenge each other. Students participated in volleyball, basketball, and gymnastics during the fall semester, and played softball, badminton, ping-pong and tennis in the spring. Miss Siegers commented that, Broad Ripple is a good school with a lot of heritage but she would like it better if there was 100% dressing and participation. Miss Siegers also added that she would like to see an advanced gymnastics and dance class formed . Students in health studied 150 bones and muscles and their functions in everyday life. They earned one credit for the semester course. Other important categories covered by health pupils were first aid, drug education, sociology, and psychology. WE ' RE GOING TO WIN . . .

RIPARIAN STAFFER WANTED: Must meet these qualifications: a) the ability to be all places at all times: b) crop millions of pictures without cutting off a hand or foot: c) concentrate in a room full of such distractions as radios blaring, typewriters clicking and photographers swearing: and d) turn out fascinating dynamic copy about organizations that do absolutely nothing. No experience necessary; we will train. It takes a special kind of person to sign his life away from the amount of time necessary to produce a yearbook. For the two editors-in-chief, yearbook was often a 24-hour-a-day occupation. In preparation for the grueling task of producing a yearbook, Patricia Link, Karen Miller, Kate Fenstermaker, and April Austin spent two weeks at I.U. for the editors ' and section editors ' workshops at the Journalism Institute.

Deadlines came and went with their usual catastrophies: misplaced negatives, lost photos, crop-happy staffers. Inevitably, the problems fell to the photographers who grew tired of the film that never came out, and the endless hours in the darkroom. Rookie staffers did not realize their enormous responsibilities at first, but got their feet wet as the first deadline approached. Rewrite became the editors ' battle cry as they fought an all out war on to be verbs and boring copy. In most cases, persevervance made up for lack of experience and the recruits sighed with relief as they met the last deadline, confident that they added a better look to the 1980 book.

Photographers, Yearbook 93 News-magazine fifty years young Fifty years ago today, a small group of Broad Ripple students struggled to put out their first newspaper. A half century later, that same newspaper, the Riparian news-magazine, was still thriving. The staff commemorated its Golden Anniversary by publishing a special December issue focusing on the present trends of journalism. Early in September, the I.P.S. teachers strike caused quite a setback on several school functions, including the production of the tri-weekly magazine. With the guidance of adviser Mrs. Olivia Jackson, co-editors Alan Bouwkamp and Angelia Arthur and fourteen determined staffers promptly returned to a normal schedule. On October 21, the staff attended the Indiana High School Press convention. Students heard lectures on journalism and participated in various writing contests. The staff received a certificate honoring fifty years of publication from the Association. They achieved their major goal of gaining larger school interest and involvement. Stressing the importance of layout and design was another main objective. A vast majority of Riparian staffers were inexperienced and lacked working knowledge of journalism. Mrs. Jackson felt confident that within the next few years, a sufficent amount of sincere effort could make the Riparian a first class news-magazine. RING-A-DING-DING . . .

For three periods each day IOL students learned to use such equipment as dictaphones, electronic calculators, IBM composers and memory typewriters, a time clock and other equipment that is vital to a business office. Students who parti- cipated in this class were seniors who had completed typing 1-4, business machines, and clerical practice. Mr. James Hinshaw, head of the business department worked to encourage more students to participate. Other business classes included distributive education and cooperative office education. Both of these classes involved finding a job and earning two credits for their work. The business department welcomed a new staff member, Mrs. Marlin who repalced Mr. Larry Newcomb in accounting, typing, and business careers.

Not a drink or a locksmith society, but service organizations at Broad Ripple High School. Orange Aid, originally a club for girls, has served Broad Ripple for 56 years. As one of the oldest organizations at Broad Ripple, Orange Aid spent most of its time hosting school functions such as the freshman tea, the principal ' s luncheon, and parents ' night. Mrs. Shirley Loyd, the sponsor of Orange Aid, commented on the growing number of girls interested in Orange Aid, and what it does for them and the school. Every Thanksgiving Orange Aid gives baskets of food to some needy families. For the past 15 years Orange Aid helped to make a needy family ' s Christmas more enjoyable by providing food and presents for the holidays. Key Club provided another important service by picking up trash along the canal and the building. At Christmas time Key Club sponsored a dance to celebrate the holidays. According to Key Club members, the dance, held on Broad Ripple ' s stage on December 21, was a real success. The hours of planning and decorating paid off, giving members a feeling of satisfaction. Ripple Awareness, another service organization at Broad Ripple High School, devoted most of its time to getting Ripple students interested in the surrounding community. Their activities ranged from visiting local nursing homes to invloving students in Brotherhood week. For fun, Ripple Awareness had a caroling party at Christmas time. The members of R.A.O. said the residents seemed glad that the local high school took an interest in the community. JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS . . .

Service Clubs 99 Classics taught: debate ponders Adverbs, prepositions, dependent and independent clauses caused many English students sleepless nights in preparation for their next day ' s test. Once the parts of speech were mastered, the Ripplites went on to study classics such as The Sun Also Rises , MacBeth , and Walden Pond . To understand these classics, a student needed to reread them at least twice and have a dictionary close at hand. Debate is a highly intellectual undertaking, said Mrs. Sam, the sponsor of Broad Ripple ' s Debate Team. The team debated against opponents from other schools throughout the Central Indiana area on the issue of America ' s trade policy. Often students took opposite sides in the same meet. Mrs. Sam said that many students benefited from their debating experiences. Debaters were reguired to do a great deal of research and have the ability to speak both smoothly and intellectually. BE IT RESOLVED . . . Should the United States significantly change its federal trade policy? Debaters like Kym Daniels had to research both the pros and the cons of this issue and take either side in a debate. I 100 Debate Club, English WRITE ON . . .

Ripplites did not refrain from any fashion trend on picture day. November 7 saw an array of Vogue Magazine-like styles. Students smiled before the lenses, secretly hoping their portrait would be placed in the Kodak Hall of Fame. Girls flashed smiles hoping for a future in Hollywood as a model. Young men dreamed of replacing Lynn Swan or Dean-Paul Martin as sex symbols. The faculty modestly smiled and imagined themselves to be the best- looking half of the educational system in America. Professional photographer Lee Wendt did not need to take a second look at his subjects. To him, each face looked the same as the one before. FINE POINT PEN . . .

Posing 103 « tNMJI Students add life to academia They picked the caps and gowns, planned the prom, and organized the homecoming. They were the student representatives to the administration. They were the class cabinets of Broad Ripple, all working independently towards the same goals. The most visible of the class cabinets was the Senior Cabinet, which helped plan the prom, senior trips, and the graduation dance. Senior Cabinet members were: Debra Benson, Joe Bill, Charles Brooks, Alan Bouwkamp, Bambi Boy kin, Stephanie Carpenter, Donald Craig, Greg Dehnke, Sam Elliot, Kate Fenstermaker, Tracy Henderson, Kelli Johnson, Marilou MendeL Stuart Odle, Penny Pollock, Susan Pope, Cindy Randa, Brian Smith, Lisa Spudic, John Tensmeyer, Stacy Toran, and Joann Williams. Helping out the seniors was the job of the junior cabinet. They collected class dues to pay for the prom, and later planned the prom itself. Junior cabinet also encouraged juniors to take the S.A.T. and to start thinking about colleges. Junior cabinet officers were: Shari Himes, president; Carla Lotta, vice-president; and Callie Baird, secretary. Least visible, in fact, almost invisible, was the sophomore cabinet, which sponsored the Big Brother and Big Sister tea. Whether they were holding teas or debating social questions, the cabinets were always spreading school spirit. That may have been their greatest accomplishment. •JEFF ADKISSON ' JANET ALCORN: Marching Band 1- 4; Concert Band 1-4; Natl Honor Society 3-4; Legion ol Merit 1-4; Legion of Honor 1-4; Solo and Ensembles Contest 2-4; Who ' s Who Among American H.S.

To most people, this means one of two things; either a dolphin on a rifle range at night or — PINBALL! Now, if you thought of a dolphin on a rifle range well . . . what can I say? The following is an account of the adventure of P.W. McCoy one afternoon at his favorite hangout, the Pinball Palace. P.W. insists that his given name is in fact Pinball Wizard McCoy, but nobody really believes him. Anyway, P.W. McCoy walked in and moved directly to the change machine. Twenty-one dollar bills were fed rapid- fire into the machine, which promptly began spewing guarters . . . and guarters . . . and guarters; 80 guarters he takes from the machine! He then headed for the Space Invaders machine. He drops one guarter in and plays the game for an entire hour. Then P.W. decides he wants to play Laser Ball. However there ' s one problem, it ' s being used by another person. That ' s never stopped P.W. before, and soon the ex-player ' s head is dangling from a light fixture. Operating the Star Trek game flippers with his toes, P.W. runs up 937,340 points on his first ball, and gives up mumbling something about these machines not being a challenge any more. Seriously though, pinball can be a lot of fun, whether you ' re a P.W. McCoy or just an amateur looking for a good time. It ' s a great way to relax if you have a little money. Seniors 107 Life unfolds, but money does not Who knows what evil lurks inside the wallets of men? This reporter (like the shadow) knows. I looked beneath the genuine cowhide, and saw hundreds of drivers licenses, social security and I.D. cards. I found conclusive evidence of this charge it society in the long lists of charge plates — Visa, Ayres, and Amoco, and of course no one leaves home with out his American Express card. A thorough investigation of the vinyl interiors revealed interesting tidbits of information on each owner: membership cards for church sponsored ski trips, occupied space in the wallets of those religiously inclined; medical emergency, insurance, and Hoosier Motor Club cards appeared in the wallets of the more conscientious students. Various memorabilia included locker combinations, guestionable I.D. cards, phone numbers with stars by some of them and several juicy love notes tucked away. After careful consideration and close observation, I can safely say that Broad Ripple High School population is an extremely diverse group of people — at least judging by the contents of their wallets. The only thing I found the wallets had in common was the lack of money each one contained (what was the pupose of the wallet anyway?) My report paid off, however I saw a side of students I would have missed without a closer look into their wallets. I am glad I did though. 1 . ! .« ' •STELLA HILL ' BRIAN HOLLOMAN ' BART HORNE •CARLTON HOWARD: Legion ot Merit 1-4; Legion oi Honor 1: ROTC Color Guard Commander 2; Rifle Team 2-4; Drill Team 1 -4; Golden Singers 3-4; Rocketaires 2; Debate Club 4; Yearbook 3-4; Intramural Basketball 2-4. •DEBRA HYDE •MARVETTA HUNTER ' JENNIFER JARCHOW ' MARCUS JESSUP •ERIC JOHNSON KELU JOHNSON: Track 1-4; Homecoming Queen Candidate 3; Soltball 1; Leltermen Club 3-4; Latin Club 2-4; Pep Club 4; Debate Club 3; Senior Cabinet ' SKIP JOHNSON •YVETTE JOHNSON •ANGELA JONES PAM JONES: Orange Aid 14; French Club 1 -2; Counselor Asst 3; Choir 1; Rippleaires 2; Golden Singers 3-4; Swing Choir 3-4; Musical 3-4; Makeup 1-4; Legion of Merit 1-4; Legion ol Honor 14 SCOTTIE JONES: Student Senate 1; Art Salon 2; Tennis Team 3 4 •TIM JONES: Career Decision 2; Band 2-4; Jazz Band 3-4; Concert Band 3-4; Marching Band 3-4; Debate Club 2; Band Asst 4; Jazz Band Contest 3-4. 108 Seniors •JON KEARNS •CAROLIN KENNEDY ' CHERYL KING: Messenger 1-2; Spanish Club 2; Legion ol Honor 1-3; Lilly Leadership 2-4; Who ' s Who Among American HS Students 4; Natl Honor Society 4 ' SHAWNA KING: Messenger 1 -2, 4; Pep Club 1 LINDA KOHLMEYER: Senior Cabinet, Yearbook 4; Key- Club 3-4; Vice Pres. 4; Varsity Goll 2-4; Basketball 1; Track 2- 4; Madrigals 3-4; Swing Choir 3-4; Golden Singers 3-4; Legion ol Honor 1-2, 4; Legion ol Merit 1-4; Musical 3-4; Thespian 4: Ripples 2-4: One Acts Director 4; Ripples Intermission Act 3-4; OBRC 4; Masque and Mime 1-4; Orange Aid 1-4; Historian 4; Who ' s Wh o Among American HS Students 4; Lettermans Club 1-4; Homecoming Queen Candidate 4; French Club 1-2; Props 1-3; Make-up 2-3; Girls Concert Club 1; Rippleaires 2; Orchestra 1-2 ELLEN LEER: Key Club 4 BONITA LEWIS: Pep Club 1-4; Treasurer 4; Latin Club 2-4; Lettermans Club 2-4; Activities Director 4; Homecoming Queen Candidate 3; Attendance Messenger 2-4; Ripple Awareness 1 -4; Track 2-4; Art Salon 1 -4 •GINNIE LIGON: Pep Club 1-3 •PATRICIA LINK: Yearbook 1-4; Editor 4; President Quill and Scroll 4; Orange Aid 1-4; President 3-4; Sec. 2; Thespian 3-4; Wabash LAB 4; Golden Singers 3-4; Musical 3-4; Homecoming Queen Candidate 4; IU Journalism Institute 4; Ripples 1-4; Nat ' l Honor Society 3-4; Clef Club 1-4; Masque and Mime 1-3; Legion of Honor 1-4; Legion of Merit 1-4; French Club 1-2; Key Club 3-4; Make-up 2-3 BRIDGETTE LOY: ROTC Battalion Commander 4; Dnll Team 4; Commander 2 PAMELA MASON ' SHANTAY MASON: Basketball 2; Dnll Team 3-4 •BOB MATCHETTE ' DEBBIE MAXEY: Orange Aid 1-2; Historian 2; Student Senate 2-3; Sophomore Class Vice Pres; Legion of Merit; Girls Concert Club 3; Yearbook 3 ' DENISE McINTYRE: St. Mary ' s 1; Chatard 2-3; Messenger 4; Madrigals 4; Golden Singers 4 ' DAVID MEGUSCHAR: Natl Honor Society 3-4; Student Senate 4; President 4; Lettermans Club 2- 4; President 4; Football 1-4; Track 1-2; Legion ol Honor 1-4; Legion of Merit 1-4; Homecoming King Candidate 4; Photo Staff 3-4; Head 4; OBRC 4; Masque and Mime 4; Ripples 4; One Acts 4; Yearbook 3-4 •MARILOU MENDEL: Natl Honor Society 3-4; Sec Tres 4; Orchestra 1-4; Musical 2-4; All-City Orchestra 2-3; Clef Club 3-4; Senior Cabinet; Homecoming Queen Candidate 4; Yearbook 3-4; German Club 2-4; Vice Pres 3; President 4; Legion of Honor 1-4; Legion of Merit 2-4; Executive Board 3- 4; Math Contest 1 -4; Music Asst 2-4; Art Salon 1 , 3 ' TERESA MEYER ' ANDREW MILLER: Natl Honor Society 4; Legion of Honor 1-2; Legion ol Merit 1 ' KAREN MILLER: Nati Honor Society 2-4; Yearbook 1-4; Editor 4; IU Journalism Institute 4; Quill and Scroll 3-4; Rennselaer Medal 3; Who ' s Who Among American H.S.

The one on the left was a senior, tall and confident looking. The youthful teenager on the right was a freshman, puny and awkward. This is the story of not just two high school students, but of the changes that take place over four years of high school. A freshman must learn to adjust to a new school, new faces and still keep both feet on the ground. Most freshmen immediately seek new friendships, especially amoung upper classmen with clout. The word freshman soon became a derogatory term. One freshman explained that it was not the word itself but the way people said it. The problem of respect did not plague seniors. They were not only older, but wiser. They knew (or thought they knew) which teachers were best; who was the most talked about couple; and what cliques met where. College was on the minds of many seniors. There were SAT ' s to be taken, applications to be mailed, and campuses to be visited. All these experiences made some impressions on seniors who knew this was their last year.As commencement neared, seniors grew more independent and impatient to be out on their own. They forgot that once they hit college it would be like starting over. They would experience being the bottom man on the totem pole once again, a lowly freshman. Seniors 11 1 Tastes change as seniors grow up in crazy decade Ten years ago the year 1980 sounded like something out of a sci-fi novel. Well now it ' s here and the changes that we ' ve made from second grade to seniors are many. Then we woke up bright-eyed, eager to go to school and work and play, Now we can barely get up in the morning and the word work has been purged from most of our vocabularies. In the second grade we neither knew nor cared anything about the Honor Roll and never thought there was such a thing as Calculus. Knowing our multiplication tables made us a brain. In 1970 we bragged about our new Schwinn 5 speed. In 1980 we (sometimes) brag about our cars, even if they are shabby. It ' s hard to believe that then we were mad about paying 50 t for bicycle patches, and now we are paying $1.27 for a gallon of gas. And oh how our reading ma terial has changed! Now that Tom, Betsy and Susan have outgrown us and gone on to the soap operas, we ' ve abandoned them for the books on the bestsellers list. Even our illnesses have changed.

You see, a senior, in his final year, has many preparations he has to make for the future including: graduation, college and a career. However, the senior year is also a lot of fun. Most of the plans one has to make are enjoyable. For many seniors graduation is a highlight of life. It requires much preparation such as: commencement announcements, measuring for caps and gowns, class rings, senior pictures and making sure that all required classes have been passed — all important. Some college-bound seniors spend a lot of time reading brochures, talking to college representatives and visiting nearby campuses. Others spend time examining the various aspects of trade school, attempting to decide which is best. This means more reading, filling out forms and getting letters of recommendation. In addition, many seniors plan to work. Future plans are varied but one common goal is that of getting out of high school. GETTING IT STRAIGHT . .

Well they are all something that says, Look at me, I have class. Though one does pay through the teeth for these extras, someone famous endorsed it or has designed it. What is the guality of these items? Can a trampoline made of Levis denim withstand ten jumping snotty-nosed kids, like Super Dennis ' Super Denims. What about that 1980 Camaro with crushed velvet seats, air conditioning, and AM- FM stereo? Can it last as long or longer than Joe Students 1960 Corvair which is dying of terminal rust, the engine has been overhauled twice and the odometer is on 99,990 for the third time? And what about that tanning hut? Does standing in a private booth with hundreds of lights to give you a golden brown tan compare to your semi private room at home? A room that is shared with a sibling, and a sun lamp that not only gives a terrible burn, but also a headache from the circuits constantly overloading. Sound pretty bad? Well everyone that is involved in this type of buying is a victim. The consumer keeps this continous circle going with a sort of selfish pride, and a unguenchable disire for status.

The movie can be anytime, anywhere and about anything. Everyone had his favorite and least favorite, but some films seem to have possessed people and consequently were seen three, five and even ten times. What kind of films brought out such loyalty? There were adventure films with comic book heroes, success stories about underdogs and musicals with catchy tunes. There were also horror stories with invincible creatures and comedies that made people laugh and serious films about life. Hundreds of students saw classics like Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, and The Love Bug as children with parents, and still ten years later had fond memories of the films they saw over and over. Other students remember seeing Alfred Hitchcock films on TV and running out of the room every time Psycho was on. Horror films fascinated students who enjoyed every monster and its eventual demise because it was more convincing each time. Halloween, Amityville Horror and Jaws were fixed into countless minds. The number of nightmares caused by these films may never be known, but the estimates run in the millions. Love stories held perennial popularity with macho actors and sexy actresses often in the leads. Brian ' s Song always brought out the tears when featured on TV as did Love Story at the movie theaters. Teenage girls went back again to see Kris Kristofferson in A Star is Born, and his co-star, Barbra Streisand in The way We Were. Boys seemed to prefer the amorous adventures of James Bonds, Roger Moore and Sean Connery in Live and Let Die, and The Spy Who Loved Me Hero worship might have been the reason for the success of Superman, Rocky 1 and 2 and Star Trek. However general enthusiasm and often frantic following of these films were often for various reasons. The witticism of Han Solo impressed some, while others prefered the mechanical voice of R2D2. People envisioned themselves to be Captain Kirk, but Mr . Spock was the favorite of most Trekies.

Travolta and Zero Mostel possessed some qualities that made people enjoy their performances more each time. Dustin Hoffman, who had no singing ability, displayed his talent in All the President ' s Men and Kramer vs. Kramer. Americans ' overwhelmingly favorite actor, Burt Reynolds, seemed to have a special quality in Smokey and the Bandit, The Longest Yard and Starting Over. Jane Fonda and her controversial movies were always remembered. The biggest hits often were unexpected, like Breaking Away, The Jerk, Life of Brian and Up in Smoke. Why students choose to see one film over and over instead of seeing new films was an interesting phenomenon, which, to be understood, required a closer look at the movies and their audiences.

Your goal is to seek out and recover all the treasure which is supposedly hidden in the deep, dark and mildewy passages of the dungeons deepest depths. You have prepared yourself in order to have a chance of surviving the conseguences of the encounter. It is rumored that inside the dungeon is a menagerie of hostile and very dangerous monsters. As you go down the steps leading to the lower depths of the dungeon it becomes very dark and musty. You can barely see a foot in front of your face without a light. The passage you have entered is only about three feet wide and five feet high. Up ahead, about 30 feet in front of you, you see a door with strange markings all over it. A golden glow seems to be radiating out from the crack between the door and the cold stone floor. As you approach the door, there seems to be some type of groaning sounds coming from within the room. When you finally reach the door you find that it is very hard to open because it is about ten feet high and five feet wide, made of solid oak. After about 1 Bw r tX LJ wy ' B ' mmm four kicks, though, the door comes swinging open and the sight which you behold almost blinds you. Inside the room there is a giant dragon sitting on top of an enormous pile of gold and jewels of unestimable beauty and value. You have a guick decision to make; will you turn tail and run; or will you stay and fight the dragon. If you turn tail and run you will almost surely get away, but if you stay and fight the dragon, what happens is left to luck of the dice. Supernatural fantasies like these are acted out almost every day by Ripple students. These students have discovered the magical world of Dungeons and Dragons. Dungeons and Dragons is a game which lets you create a character who will act out such fantasies for you. Your character is created with certain attributes which include strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution and charisma. Three six-sided dice are rolled to determine these. A character chooses one of four occupations: a fighter, a magic user, a thief or a cleric. Magic users can use spells, thieves are good at picking pockets. Clerics can heal wounds, and fighters are better adapted for all kinds of combat. Once your character decides what he ' ll be, he choses an alignment. He can be good or evil, chaotic or lawful. Sometimes one gets so engrossed in the game that he thinks he actually takes the form of the character and is really fighting in the battles. Dungeons and Dragons is an unusual game due to the fact that no one ever wins . Just like in real life you can build a character up to be rich and powerful and retire in glorious splendor.

These and other experiences tilled the days of sophomores Lori Rosebrock and Mary lames, members of Explorer Post 697, at the Indianapolis Zoo. Lori and Mary learned the care and handling of everything from Amazon parrots to zebras. The girls also lectured to elementary students and to scouts at the Central Indiana Scout-O-Rama. The post attempted to inform the public about animals and their habits, according to Lori. Mary enjoyed meeting new people with the same interests and ambitions. Since the post is nationally known, it could be helpful in obtaining a job at a zoo, or as a veterinarian. Also, their lectures helped by dispelling some of the myths surrounding the animal kingdom.

Sir Gallahad (Mr. Easter) jumped onto his horse in shining armor and charged bravely at the menacing metal monster, the schedule making computer, as it spewed out incomprehensible numbers and study hall-filled schedules. Following close behind our Easter ' s comrades, the five counselors of the round table. The counsel was comprised of Mrs. Cain, Miss Lambert, Mrs. Burgess, Miss Vargo and Mrs. Dearing; the leader. Their mission: To seek out and destroy the babbling bucket of bolts before it ruined many students ' academic careers. Watching over the battle, from his high throne in the main office, was the high king of all kings, the ruler of Camelot (B.R.H.S.) Donald Glenn. In the light of the fact that his throne room was almost entirely filled with drop and add slips it was reasonable to assume that his kingdom was in trouble. Back on the battlefield Sir Gallahad and his comrades were being buried under piles of schedule change reguest forms. The high king, however, was unable to call in reinforcements because his nobles (The teachers) were on strike. Things were looking even gloomier for Camelot. Alas, the king hit upon an idea. He called up all of his serfs (Poor oppressed students) to back up the front lines. But the computer continued its relentless attack. Several guys were put in the girls concert choir, vocational students were scheduled for Advanced Calculus, while college prep students were put in Remedial Reading. Finally, when the king settled his disagreements with the nobles the tide started to turn in favor of Camelot. In order to continue this offensive the king forced all of the serfs to have 5 1 2 credits on their schedules in order to short circuit the computer. Although the serfs complained, the order was eventually carried out. Even though the computer was going to protect its domain to the end, with much hard work and effective scheduling, Mr. Easter and Mrs. Dearing finally conguered the paper spewing monster . . . Camelot was once again a safe place for students to pursue an education. Freshmen 127 New administration; new decade; new beginnings No one knew when the year would resume its normal flow, but Principal Donald Glenn was most ready and waiting to assume his new position at Ripple. Mr. Glenn, formerly a vice- principal at Thomas Carr Howe High School, was joined by Henry Easter, formerly De n of Boys at Howe, who replaced Mr. Robert E. Casey as vice- principal. Though Ripple lost the television-sounding names of Casey Jones, it gained two hard-working men. Even so, we could not forget about the administrators who did return this year. Mr. Dan Gallagher, dean of students, returned and migrated with his desk to the Main Office. Mr. Jethroe Knazze, assistant dean of boys, moved into Mr. Gallagher ' s office. Mrs. Shirley Loyd, dean of girls, remained stationary in her i mmaculate office while Mr. Tommie Curlin, vice-principal in charge of buildings grounds, could still be found in his office adjacent to the head man ' s place. With all this relocating it became difficult to find anyone, so these mystery people appeared in the halls, cafeteria and sometimes classrooms to let everyone know they were alive and well. The Guidance Department saw the addition of two new counselors. Mrs. Jacguelyn Cain, of phys. ed. fame, and Miss Shirley Lambert were added to the department. Despite the mix-ups these changes caused, they were beneficial in the long run. Mr. Glenn ' s new policies on class cutting caused many a frown, but most students and teachers would agree that the punctuality level at Ripple has risen greatly. The annual scheduling business was phased out, thus ridding the data processing staff of much red tape. The controversial G.L.C. remodeled it structure. Stricter requirements for a hall pass became the law. And contrary to common practice among some schools, Ripplites did see their principal on frequent occasions. Though former Principal Jones and his administration initiated the motto, Quality Education for All, Ripples ' s new administration was well in keeping with it. Of course many changes will come about to meet the educational demands of the ' 80s. The possibility that many of the graduation requirements could be phased out because of the changing times does indeed exist. It is fitting that Ripple have new administrators to help bring about these new changes. With all these advantages Ripplites were most anxious to boast about their good school and their excellent new administration . . . that is, until they discovered that Mr. Glenn could use a few chime ringing lessons. That way, Ripple would definitely have the best PA. system in the I.P.S. 1 WHAT? . . . Dean of Students Dan Gallagher adjusts his walkie-talkie.

The Broad Ripple Association of Parents and Teachers began its year with exciting and new prospects. Mrs. Shirley Williams was the first woman president elected in some time. Each of the 52 positions on the Advisory Board was filled. A record amount of $13,000 was raised to buy band uniforms. Plant and rummage sales both helped to benefit this worthy cause. The A.P.T. sponsored a skating party at U.S.A. East which generated a good adult response. In addition to these special activities, the A.P.T. could be counted on to operate the concession stands at home games. As far as inner-school related matters, the A.P.T. discussed the possibility of bringing more foreign students to Ripple by way of the American Field Service. This agency brings many foreign students to Indianapolis schools, and as part of an expanding school ana curriculum, Ripple was not to be left out. As a result of the huge success of all of the A.P.T. ' s activities, Mrs. Williams called it their busiest and best year. The cooperation between parents and teachers was overwhelmingly good.

Probably many, but Ripplites found this to be not necessarily so throughout the year. With many prices continually on the rise, students found themselves changing their lifestyles to coincide with the changing times. With the price of gas exceeding a dollar a gallon, cruising on a Saturday night neared extinction. Even so, Ripplites still earned enough spending money through various part- time jobs, and maybe even with some help from Mom and Dad to indulge themselves in the usual shopping sprees, movies, and concerts. Hunting sales, and taking advantage of bargains here and there, Ripplites learned to stretch their dollars. Through advertising, students took closer looks at what products had to offer, and compared guality to price. TICKET TAKER . . .

Every yearbook staff in the country has experienced it. Not to the extent, however that it was experienced in the Riparian office at deadline time. The symptoms of Yearbook Hysteria (not to be confused with comp-phobia, that rare disorder experienced by frustrated copy editors) included hyperactivity, giggling fits, mental blocks, extreme perversion and advanced stages of panic as the deadline approached. If the editors were not rolling on the floor in spasms of laughter, guzzling Tabs or fighting, they were hounding staffers or typing frantically. To all those on staff who thought their editors had all the qualities of Beauty and the Beast, we want to say thanks for being patient (you would be slow, too, if they locked you up in room 225 . . .) A ton of credit goes to Mrs. V. for putting up with all the stuff we forced her to read and look at, as well as Mr. Jeff who wins the Most Patient Lonely Husband Award for not protesting as we kidnapped his wife every deadline. Where would we be if not for all the folks, especially Dennis Cripe, at I.U. Journalism Institute? Probably still stuck on the title page! In addition, the book would never have come into being if not for the creative talents of Paul Sinclair, or the hard-sell efforts of our little freshmen (and dedication of countless sophomores). Last, but definitely not least, a bit of thanks is due to Dick Maurer, our prompt, verbally inclined representative who kept us informed of what was going on. Sticking with tradition, we salute those hundreds of parents who have sacrificed their offspring to a sacred cause — this yearbook. We hope this yearbook fulfills everyone ' s expectations and that next year ' s editors have it a little easier. Our tip for next year is: don ' t let it get down to the wire!

Faces such as this can be found enshrined on the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, a tribute to men lost in battle. The monument takes on a new meaning to those approaching the age of eighteen, as talk of renewing the draft is on the minds of many students. 164 Closing A Cleser leek Florida sun makes spring fun Twenty -seven and counting down, chimed many Ripplites as the first day of Spring break drew nearer and nearer. While closer looks out the window showed signs of life in nature, anxious students took closer looks at air and bus fares, hotel availability and cost and made various other preparations as their Spring vacations came to life. However, along with the vacations and warm weather, Spring brought a new session of training and competition for the athletes. While tennis players and harriers took the spotlight, the football and basketball players and cheerleaders all. diligently practiced behind the scenes for the upcoming season. Though students found it hard, if not impossible, to appreciate the May FACE TO FACE . . . Waiting for the hike of the ball, two teams of determined girls stand head on in an afternoon game of football. flowers that April showers would bring, they, nevertheless, found various ways to entertain themselves on rainy afternoons. Some constructive Ripplites cleaned their rooms, while others utilized afternoon matinees, or the nearby mall served as a common stand- by. On sunnier days a favorite place of refuge, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, attracted multitudes of students who found classes losing what little attraction they once had. Ripplites also turned their attention to such inviting activities as cycling, playing frisbee and lying in the sun. As summer approached, no one, no seniors nor freshmen nor even a teacher seemed to mind a bit. SOLITARY SIT-UPS . . . Strenously working out for an upcoming track meet, John Tensmeyer does sit-ups in the solitude of a deserted park. Closing 165 ONE OF THE TEN MOST WANTED? . . . No, Matt Albean is not an expert purse thief, but on this occasion several girls found him to be an irresistible purse rack. CHUG-A-LUG . . . Timothy, a baby squirrel rescued by Dania Morris and her family, drinks from a baby bottle full of warm milk. Father Winter hibernates, Mother Nature blossoms As the days became warmer and the b reeze stronger, students rediscovered the green grass that had been invisibe for so long. Father Winter went into exile as students plotted their escape to freedom during Spring break, and eventually summer vacation. Seniors rushed to be accepted at the college of their choice, receive financial aid and pass the SAT ' s. Other worries that seniors had concerned caps and gowns and how to say goodbye to longtime friends. Underclassmen dreamed of the day when Seniors would be gone, whom by this time were more than eager to leave. Spring was the time to get reacquainted with sports unplayable in the snow. Tennis courts were once again being used, frisbees flew and fishing poles were oiled and cleaned. Cardinals were seen eating and ducks swimming on the canal. The sun was making life enjoyable again. There were family picnics at Eagle Creek, and discos for singles, Speedway to go to, families to see, and friends to make. The world beckoned teenagers to enjoy life to its fullest and use every moment. Some used their time to dream of making millions; others laid under the sun during the summer months. Another large group of students preferred traveling to the Rockies, San Francisco, or Disney Land, all attracted tourists from every city of the country. Exotic adventures were found and, with the help of an instamatic camera, captured for eternity. The sun shined longer, the weather was warmer, and skins became darker. Life was easy and free since students had long ago thrown off the shackles of homework for the simple pleasures of summer. As long Johns were packed away, students returned to cut offs and short sleeved shirts. Best of all, alarm clocks were set for the afternoon rather than 5:30 in the morning. THREE ' S NOT A CROWD ... In this case there is plenty of room for more pigeons on the Post Office steps. The birds were just one sign to Ripplites that summer had finally arrived. 166 Closing 1 EXTRA CURRICULAR CONSTRUCTION . . . Gwen Pope and Sherri Holand take advantage of a warm afternoon to work on an afterschool activity. During the last days of school many Ripplites found this to be a good idea. TIME ' S A WASTING ... Two close friends take a teachers advice and try to make the most of every moment together. Seniors realized that they might never see each other again, bringing a sense of melancholy to the joyous moments of graduation. r t si • ' - 1 X 1 | .1 2rsr ,1 i !

Caps and gowns found their way into closets to be taken out and shown to grandchildren, as seniors, now B.R. alumni, whooped it up with wild abandon at commencement. There were sober moments amongst the excitement. For seniors, summer meant the evolvement of a new image — that of college student or career person. Graduates took a nostalgic look backward at the incredible times they had spent which ended as soon as they had begun. Old friends would recede into the background as new faces yet t( be met, would explode into the foreground. Underclassmen dreamed o the day when they too, could join the ranks of the graduating elite. That was the mood which prevaded the last weeks of the 1979-1980 school year; a mood of change and rearrangement. Not knowing what to expect taught students that only throug a closer look could they see the direction their futures were taking and begin to challenge the odds. THE WORLD BELOW ...
