Nineteen Thirty-Seven Three THE BROAD RIPPLE SPIRIT By BETSY BOWEN The spirit of friendliness, informali- ty, kindliness and good will pervad- ing Broad Ripple Hgh School is due to the work and personality of the beloved principal, K. V. Ammerman. Mr. Ammerman is a man of high ideals and deep human feeling. His understanding kindness always has made him endeared to the student body and teachers. During the fourteen years of his principalship, the enrollment in the high school has increased from nine- ty-four to more than five hundred; the teaching staff from nine to twen- ty-two. In 1935 a twelve-room addi- tion was added to Main Hall, and the cottage was opened for the use of home economics classes. The office which is always open to pupils is sought voluntarily by many because of their desire to seek Mr. Ammerman ' s advice. During lunch periods, pupils enjoy his ming- ling with them in the halls and gym- nasium. He is present at all of the school activities. He is able to call every student in the high school by name. Several years ago Mr. Ammerman gave a motto for the school, which dwells actively in the mind of each teacher and each pupil, Broader, Richer, Human Service. ' When his advice at the beginning of each se- mester is added to this, Be where you ought to be, at the time you ought to be there, doing what you ought to be doing, a philosophy for happiness and success in life has been given each person passing un- der influence of Mr. Ammerman. 72004K
