They joke and chat, shout, and boast as they come. Early morning finds them with the same warm spirit of cordiality that is Broad Ripple. Some are sleepy, with eyes swollen and voices squeaky, but all is gaiety and fun. With the glee of carefree youth, they come, wel- coming another day with fond friends, another day of fun and enlightenment, another day at Broad Ripple.
