Broad Ripple High School - Riparian Yearbook (Indianapolis, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1945 volume:

CL (Bamuuv Q acVl . . . The pages of Ripple ' s history were busily turn- ing during the momentous months from Sep- tember 1944 to June 1945, as Broad Ripple High School was engaged in the most out- standing year of activity in the sixty years of its long, tradition-filled existence. This, the 1 945 Riparian, is a record of the past, but it is dedicated to the future: That the year 1944-45 shall be the beginning of a new era for Broad Ripple — an era in which the tra- ditions set forth at its outset shall be fervently continued — an era in which every year will truly be a Banner Year.

A long brick building with even rows of windows and a rolling green lawn identify one of Indianapolis ' finest schools. It ' s a combination of the modern, the beautiful, and the efficient. A familiar sight to everyone, and deariy loved by those who stroll its winding walk, Broad Ripple, in the not too distant future, will have a new modern addition to complete the square design of the original plan. With this expansion the school will be prepared to house the ever- increasing numbers of students who crow d into the open doors and the friendly halls of Ripple. QruadsL ihsL OffiioL. . . . K. V. AMMERMAN . . . Symbol of Broad Ripple Best-loved faculty member is Principal K. V. Ammerman, sincere and friendly, with a genuine interest in the students and activi- ties of Broad Ripple. A pal to everyone he has a smile and warm greeting for all, and his remarkable ability to remember faces has- astounded many alumni. With philo- sophical understanding and practical advice, K. V. capably leads Ripple to great achieve- ment. K. V. ' S RIGHT-HAND MAN Mr. C. Edgar Stahl does not have the school ' s pleasantest job, but he ca- pably retains both friends and order as our genial vice-principal and director of activities. OUR UNSUNG OFFICE STAFF Absence excuses, program cards, office calls, and permanent records all passed through the busy hands of the office staff: Mrs. Flor- ence Roney, Mrs. Rosemary Clauser, and Betty McKinley, each busy with one of the mechanical tasks necessary to the function- ing of Broad Ripple.

Famous authors and poets of the future were trained in composition classes, where students studied creative writing and grammar fundamentals. They sought to create beauty with words, in order that the pleasure they found in the beautiful might be enjoyed by others. In classes of literature, they found a creed of better living inspired by the fine literature of past masters. That the future adults of America may know how to better participate in governing themselves, economics, history, and government are a vital part of the Broad Ripple curriculum. Last year saw a mock presidential election at the school polls, when social studies pupils campaigned to elect their candi- date for the highest office in the land. Salvete pueri et puellae, says Miss Elizabeth Roberts, as she greets her Latin students, while Buenos dias, introduces many rmuchachos to a semester of Espanol with Senorita Coombs. Starting from scratch, journalism students entered an advanced English course to learn to write news stories in a class where reporters and editors of tomorrow are trained. The young orators of Mrs. Ruth Herin ' s speech class learned the laws of parliamentary procedure and gained experience in public speaking, a requisite to all successful living. With poise and self- assurance seniors left that room prepared to better express themselves in their daily living. Bugs, birds, and alligators were all found in the biology department, the origin of many pupils ' knowledge of plant and animal life. In chemistry and physics young scientists struggled with formulas and forces, courageously meeting D Day every six weeks. We learned what x equals and the radius of a circle, as Einstein juniors in the classes of the third r . Mathematics became more important to young Americans preparing for futures in the fields of engineering, aero- nautics, and chemical research. Mrs. Margaret Wamsley and Mrs. Stella Richardson combined their talents in teaching Ripple ' s senior girls home nursing and nutrition. Girls learned the fine arts of bed-making, first aid, and the many other skills necessary to the safety and comfort of the future American home. (hut Tyianif. IAm uL SpaaaliybdL SkilLbu . . . New clothes. Expensive? Not when you make them yourself. Miss Eliza- beth Johnson ' s sewing classes learned to make pretty and practical clothes and acquired a knowledge of color harmony and costume design. Antici- pating future responsibilities, other girls studied the culinary arts in the Cottage ' s modern kitchen. Experienced in the field of aeronautics, Miss Panoria Apostol acquainted her pupils with the intricacies of flying, a subject destined to become a part of our future daily living. Every good lad does fine, tapped the first year typists, and, under the guidance of Mr. C. L. Harvey, Miss Winifred West, and Miss Wilhelmina Schaufler, he continued to do so. Advanced pupils learned shorthand and comptometer operation, and struggling commercial students became first rate stenographers as they confidently left Room 1 12. 10 Painting miniature masterpieces and drawing eye-catching advertisements, Ripple ' s Raphaels sketched their futures on canvas. Their versatile fingers designed fashionable jewelry and useful household ornaments in Miss Bonna Lees ' crafts classes. New to Ripple ' s curriculum was music appreciation, a semester course for students who cannot make, but can always appreciate, fine music. Skilled tradesmen and draftsmen, masters of precision, served their appren- ticeships with Misters R. Nelson Cooksey and Hubert Wann in the work- shops of Rooms 2 and 4. Sore muscles and aching backs marked us as greenies in the physical train- ing department. Strong bones and sound bodies will someday prove the value of the invigorating exercise of physical education. 11 JhsLfie QjLm hJtWL... THE SYMPHONY The dim, hushed atmosphere of the theater fills me with a quiet calm which is in sharp contrast with the world I have just left behind me. I settle my- self in my seat to enjoy the beauty that is to come. From behind the stage there come weird sounds. The melancholy voice of the bass, the sweet, vibrant tones of the ' cellos, and the lilting violin stand out from the bedlam of other sounds. But in a moment they fade and the cry of the trumpet pierces its way above the others. Then they all engage in a series of weird noises which reminds one of a zoo before feeding time. Soon the musicians are coming onto the stage. They take their places and the adjustment of instruments continues along with a spatter of conversation. Three minutes before starting time the oboist sounds his A. That A from the oboe nags at you long after it is gone, like an argument you didn ' t win. Two minutes to go. The concertmaster walks in, tunes up his violin, and proceeds to draw his bow across the A string. This is the final check. The A has been established, firmly and officially. Everyone makes the final delicate adjustments. Then in a burst of applause the conductor makes his appearance and takes his place on the stand. There is a moment of silence. The conductor raises his arms and the symphony has begun. Joyce Meredith Advanced Composition MARCH 22 FROM A CLASS-ROOM WINDOW Broad Ripple High School (A group- written poem) Through the open class-room windows, we see The delicately azure sky, a canvas for white-trunked sycamores, And stately elms, their bows lace-tipped, Feathery with greening hoods pushed from brown-cloaked buds. Massive boles and boughs throw black shadows Across the expan sive emerald lawn, where green blades Carpet the soft, dark earth. Upon the grass the twigs have cast spider-like lines Which move to and fro, to and fro as the gentle breeze directs. Beyond the rain-washed pavement, the muddy river flows, Brown with silt deposits from the flooded lands upstream. It winds its swollen way, pushing high upon restricting banks. Beyond the strip of green meadow, a low leaf-covered hillside Is still the bed for bulbous roots Which feel the warmth of this March day pulling them from their slumber. Upon the white curved walk, beside which bow Graceful branches of glowing forsythia, Stroll or hurry glad teen-age boys and girls — Bare haired, curl tossing, gaily clad in checkered shirts, Light cords, bright sweaters, white scarfs — Books tucked under arms, Hands in pockets or swinging jauntily at sides, they depart— - Carefree, responsible, vivacious, serious, — America ' s thoughtless, thinking Youth as sweet in promise As the spring this day. 12 ALBERT Albert has been with us, always. He has been puttering around the farm since no one knows when. To this day Albert moves in the same time-consuming shuffle, and retains all of his age-old habits. Though he lives in the Small House, he eats in the kitchen of the Big House. Nowadays he eats alone, for younger men have gone away, possibly seeking more lucrative employment in war plants in the city. Albert eats pie. He loves pie. He also eats vegetables, providing they are green beans or potatoes or (on occasion) sliced tomatoes. Meat? Yes, if it isn ' t beef or pork or lamb. His preference runs to chicken backs and giblets. He doesn ' t like white meat or drumsticks. As he hovers over a choice chicken neck, one pauses to ask politely: How do you do, Albert? His invariable reply: Tollable, quite tollable. And how are you? One must reply: I ' m quite tolerable, too, thank you! He is very happy with his clothes — blue denim coveralls, painstakingly patched fore and aft with the best grade of burlap sack. He carefully washes his clothes each time he bathes, which is about twice a month. By carefully I mean he apparently tries to avoid getting either his clothes or himself wet. Albert now is the reincarnation of Uncle Tom, as played on the showboats, which he has seen pass many times from his vantage point on the banks of the Ohio River. Coal black extends up and back and down to the snow white fringe of hair. His face is framed by white sideburns and whiskers. His sparkling eyes belie his age, which he won ' t (or maybe can ' t) divulge. Folks say he came North by the Underground Railway. He doesn ' t know whether this is true or not, but he swears he remembers Grant and Sherman. It is said Albert still has the first dollar he ever earned. Perhaps this is true, for his wants are simple, and he has always been paid a fair monthly wage. Twice each year he receives a letter. It is not from a relative, for he has no known kinfolk. The letter comes from a bank, and folks guess it ' s a (request for Albert to come in and count his money. Anyway, he always takes a few days off after receiving that letter and comes back without saying where he has been, nor why. One thing is sure: He takes his time to feed the chickens or milk the cows; he is slow to hoe the cucumbers; he almost never gets around to picking the roasting ears. But when it comes to gathering watermelons, you should see him move! Ann M. Hutchison English VI WHOSE FAULT WAS IT? WAS IT MINE? Whose fault was it That he didn ' t come back When he went across the line? Was it that bond that I didn ' t buy, Or that piece of steel that caught in my eye? Whose fault was it? Was it mine? Whose fault was it That he didn ' t come back When he set sail with his ship? Was it just meant to be, Or was it the slip of my lip? Whose fault was it? Was it mine? Whose fault was it That he didn ' t come back When he went into the jungle of green? Could a Jap sniper have got him, Or was it a faulty machine? Whose fault was it? Was it mine? Roy Rhoads English III 13 With unsurpassed leadership and an invincible spirit, we the students of Broad Ripple have been privileged to take part in the most outstanding year in Ripple history. From the unconquerable seniors down to the green but vigorous freshmen, the spirit of Broad Ripple has mani- fested itself in the fervor and eagerness with which all activities have been pursued. The upperclassmen elected officers and organized into the junior and senior classes while the freshmen and sophomores entered into the rousing spirit of the times and assumed the responsibilities of furthering the fine traditions of our Banner Year. ilvL L £v Jv . . 14 Officers of the best ever 1945 senior class pause in their caps and gowns to inspect their class prophesy. Left to right are Jack Pursel, president; Jacqueline Oakes, treasurer; Dorothy Newburg, secretary; and Floyd Chafee, vice-president. 15 Owl CiAjto ' TItakm At Last! After three long years the best freshman class of ' 41 had finally attained the coveted title of seniors. These had been busy years, full of studies, clubs, athletics, and friends we will always remember. Our freshman year was filled with big things; a big, confusing school, and big ambitions. Then we were sophomores. We soon realized our class importance to the school when our second year boys dominated Ripple varsity squads in all fields of athletics. Our fellas began to sport chenille monograms and many of us made the high honor roll. The next year we joined that sacred society known as the upper class. We organized, and, after a spirited campaign, we elected prexy Don Perry; vice- president, Betty McKinley; secretary, Judy Hubbard; and treasurer, Rich- mond McQuistan.

Jack Pursel became the president of the class of ' 45; Floyd Chafee was chosen vice-president; Dorothy Newburg, secretary; and Jacqueline Oakes, treasurer. With great spirit we flew the Orange and Black, for our last year was filled with athletic victories which made Ripple history. We gave the traditional Mothers ' Tea, Senior Play, Class Day, attended Baccalaureate, and werei guests at the reception. But all these good times brought sadness on the day of graduation. On that day, as we walked to the stage for the last time to receive our diplomas, there were smiles; there were tears; but there were memories of our happy days at Broad Ripple, and there always will be.

As the students enthusi- astically promoted school projects, they enriched their knowledge in their chosen fields, and learned the prac- tical lessons of co-operation. With the completion of this year of energetic activity, they found satisfaction in accomplishment and felt an inner reward for service cheerfully given. The new groups which were formed and the increased zeal with which all activities were pursued are each typi- cal of Ripple ' s Banner Year. jcmcL (BcAJdcA Shidiabu . . . 34 Bob Bastian and Carolyn McCullough, seniors, reign as King and Queen of Hearts at the annual Valentine ' s Day dance.

SPANISH CLUB STANDS FOR PAN- AMERICANISM Always buenos amigos, the members of El Veintiuno saw the importance of unity among the twenty-one republics, and stressed the im- portance of inter-American friendship. Under the sponsorship of Miss Melba Schumacher, the club officers, William Dillon, Jo Hayes, Martha Starkey, and James Ward, led the Thursday meetings in lectures, pictures, and music. In true Latin-American spirit they climaxed an eventful year with their annual Spanish-Amer- ican Ball. QUIET PLEASE — LIBRARIANS AT WORK Out of a worn volume of the World Book comes the bookworm, comical symbol of study and investigation. In Ripple ' s library, students come to do both: study, investigate. There they find reference books and novels, with the amiable assistance of Miss Jane Colsher, school librarian, and her student helpers. These in- dustrious girls file, catalogue, mend torn books, and prepare attractive displays for the north hall showcases and the study hall bulletin board. 36 RIPPLE ' S BRAINS A perfect combination of industry and intellect, members of the Honor Society represented Rip- ple ' s elite in character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Guided by Miss Elizabeth Roberts and Miss Wilhelmina Schaufler, the members spent many unsung hours popping corn in an- ticipation of building a concession stand next year. Formal induction ceremonies were the year ' s highlight, and were capably planned by Betty McKinley, president; Paul McCloud, vice president; and Kenneth Millican, secretary. DRAMA + CLUB = DRACLU As resume of Ripple ' s dramatic activities un- folds, a prompter signals our cue to deliver the lines for Draclu. Mrs. Ruth Herin sponsored the presentation of two matinees and the an- nual Sweetheart Dance, to complete the thes- Dian ' s busy schedule. Jean Stratton, president, was assisted by Jane Augustine, treasurer; Richard Loupee, sergeant-at-arms; and Carolyn McCullough, judge. HONOR SOCIETY Row 1 — K. Millican, P. McCloud, J. Parkhurst, C.

DEAD LANGUAGE— LIVE CLUB After a day of practicing amo-amas-amat, Latin students meet as the Socii Linguae Latinae, an active organization of Ripplites. The club, directed by Miss Elinor Randall, elected Robert Hoffman and Frances Tyrie consuls for 44 w hile John Rudy and Patricia Drake took over in the spring. They were assisted by Thomas Mooney, Richard Loupee, Jerry Hyde, William MacDougall, Ann Hutchison, and Jack Nordholt. STATION BRHS IS ON THE AIR Loyally promoting the activities of Old Glory as well as the Orange and Black, members of Radio Workshop showed true American spirit. They put over the war bond drives, publicized student activities, and presented appropriate programs to commemorate special days. Writing and producing scripts was but a small part of the Workshop ' s yearly program. Un- der the direction of Miss Mary Connor, these students acquired dramatic skills, voice control, and learned the fine arts of radio engineering and sound effects operation. Janet Scofield was this year ' s student director. Ross Copeland, Marinotte Teepcll, Jack Nordholt, Loretta Spaulding.

Adopting the school motto Broader, Richer, Human Service, the members enter- tained mothers and sent the Riparian to service- men. Under the direction of M iss Ruth Carter, the girls elected Jacqueline Oakes, president; Li la Mae Tinsman, vice president; Barbara Lovelle, secretary; and Helen Jones, treasurer. Twice a month Ripple girls were invited to an informal afternoon at Cozy Hour. These meet- ings were under Miss Jane Colsher ' s direction, with four industrious Ripplites as assistants: Lila Mae Tinsman, Henrietta Hurt, Jo Hayes, and Joanne Diederich. The programs scheduled style and talent shows, dating discussion groups, games, and group singing. Cokes or punch brought a happy close to each afternoon at Cozy Hour. ORANGE AID OFFICERS H.

Members produced one-act plays and learned of the theater and stage through experi- ence. Combining their activities with those of Radio Workshop, they studied skill before the microphone and the technicalities of radio. With Mrs. Donna Leigh Collins as faculty advisor, members elected Eleanor Pedlow president in the fall, and Donald Shelhorn the second semester. LETTERMEN ' S CLUB Row 1 J. Pursel, P. McCloud, D.

Ev- ery Wednesday morning orange and black dominated in room 212, as the BR chenille monogram wearers met with sponsor Ed Died- erich. Their booths were the most popular at the Christmas Carnival, and their funds bought a servicemen ' s plaque dedicated to former Ripple lettermen in the armed forces. They elected Jack Pursel, president; Floyd Chafee, vice president; Paul McCloud, secretary; and C. Edgar Stahl, treasurer. 40 THEY NEVER AGREE Most Americans love to argue, and, wherever there was a good, honest controversy, there was Ripple ' s Debate Club. Daniel Websters, all, they learned the techniques of debate, discuss- ing questions provided by the Indiana Debate League. They became book worms as they delved into thick volumes for the bases of their arguments. Mr. J. Curtis Weigel was faculty advisor; officers were Edward Newman, pres- ident; Dorothy Caldwell, vice-president; Carolyn Dugdale, secretary; and Patricia Drake, treas- urer. FROM WORMS TO GERMS A gold skull and crossbones identified seventy- two members of the Biology Club, an active entry on Ripple ' s ever-growing roll of clubs. Under Mr. Sidney Esten ' s amiable guidance, membership grew and the organization ' s first venture, the Bug Bounce, was a success. During the first semester James Zintel held the gavel, but when he donned the Navy blue in January, Floyd Chafee capably filled the position of president. DEBATE CLUB Seated — D. Caldwell, P.

Other staff positions were filled by Betty McKinley, Mary Dugdale, Kenneth Millican, Jacqueline Oakes, Barbara Lo- velle, Jack Pursel, and Dorothy Newburg. BOY! DID WE WORK HARD! 1945 saw the stimulation of new activity in Quill and Scroll, as mem- bers sold Rocket badges, BRHS stick- ers, and school stationery to raise money for the annual. With spring, new members were accepted, and they too strove to uphold the high journal- istic ideals of this international society. QUILL AND SCROLL Row I — S. Newlund, P. McCloud, S. Barth, J.

The aspiring journalists were led the first semester by Betty McKinley, and the spring term by Paul McCloud. Page editors Samuel New- lund, Paul McCloud, and Kenneth Millican assisted in the fall; while Shirley Barth, Robert Chapman and Jo Hayes took over the next semester. Spending long hours in the press room scribbling and typing and writing Thursday morning headlines, the young journalists were exposed to the many problems of newspaper work. All reporters worked for the required ten column inches and the right to wear the gold pen points, new press club pins. Enthusiastically, circulation managers Jane Augustine and Mary Flo Dugdale distributed copies to eager subscribers. Riparians were sent free to service men with the financial support of Orange Aid, and through the efforts of exchange editors Dorothy Newburg and Mary Alice Kemp.

Lending their voices to school and civic programs, members of the choir created beauty through music. With Mr. Roger Riley as their director, the Golden Singers rose on the scale of fame as they sang repeatedly, contributing their talents at school and church programs, and on radio presenta- tions Adding much to the school ' s instrumental entertainment, the brass choir, the string ensemble, and trio demonstrated true talent wherever they answered a request to play. Maestro Owen Beckley directed them as he did the accomplished members of the orchestra. The band, also under his instruction, rendered the strains of Hail to Broad Ripple at all big athletic events, and demon- strated its marching skill at numerous football games and parades.

Clever and comical were the main acts — It Ain ' t Hay, The Doll Shop, Concert in the Park, and Pin-up Girl.

Then, as the seniors planned graduation, the footlights pointed with pride to the thespians ' climax, the senior play. Janet Scofield, Floyd Chafee, and Robert Chapman played the leads in Sixteen in August, a three-act comedy drawn from the life of a fifteen-year-old girl. LeCarda Johnson and Dolores Daugull were student directors; Carolyn McCullough and Henrietta Hurt played the all-important parts of prompters. Cast members included: Bar- bara Green, Floyd Chafee, Jack Pursel, Betty Roesti, Shirley Barth, Dorothy Blakeslee, Pauline Steinhilber, Sue Roberts, Dorothy Caldwell, and Jacquelyn Lawson. 49 Probably the most outstanding illustration of Broad Ripple ' s Banner Year achievements is the avalanche of success earned by those boys who bore the title Ripple Rockets. To these boys went the task of representing their school on the gridiron, the basketball court, the baseball di- amond, and on the oval. And the result was the most successful year in athletics in our history. Students, teachers and friends of Ripple, as well as sports-minded people everywhere will remember for a long time the ability, determination and fine sportsman- ship which our teams used to win.

Completing one of the most successful seasons in Ripple history, the 1945 Orange and Black gridmen gained a tie for second place in the city standings, and rolled up a record of six vic- tories, one tie and one loss. Weight, speed, power, and experience were the assets Coach Ed Diederich and his pigskin toters possessed as they started down the long hard road of an eight game schedule. Eleven returning lettermen, most of them having seen action for the past two years, formed the gears for the ' 44 machine. Trailing 6 to 0, the Rockets came back to win the season ' s opener against Seymour 26 to 6. Pern Cornelius, junior fullback, paced the attack with two touch- downs. Phil Neff and Bill Hill also scored six-pointers. Sheridan fell next before the Orange and Black, 33 to 0. Again Cornelius was best with 19 points. Don Hanna broke loose on the record play of the game for 65 yards and pay dirt. Victim number three was Howe, also by the score of 33 to 0. Bob Minniear and Ed Brown marked up 12 points each to pace the Rockets. Scoring twice in the final period, Ripple earned a 1 9 to 1 9 tie with New Castle ' s Trojans. Hanna was good for 1 3 of these points. 52 UJshSL dmxmq ihsL (BbaL . . . That bitterest pill — defeat — was served to the Rockets when the Fightin ' Irish of Cathedral scored on a pass in the final frame to win, 6 to 0. Bouncing back, the local gridsters rolled into high gear against a strong Manual club and trampled the south-siders, 6 to 0. Hanna scored early and Brown made the extra point. Dave Shaw, Redskin fullback, returned the second half kickoff 90 yards for Manual ' s lone tally. Cornelius scored twice for Ripple and Hanna added the point. Fifth in line were Warren Central ' s warriors and they fell, 1 4 to 0. Cornelius and Hanna divided honors with seven points each. On November 1 the perfect ending was added when the Rockets ended 20 years of grid domination by the Shortridge Blue Devils. The final score read: Broad Ripple 28, Shortridge 14. On a rain-drenched field the Rockets started early and led all the way. Cornelius scored first in the opening period and Hanna added one point. In the second quarter Brown crossed the double stripe and Cor- nelius plunged for the point. Later in the same period the latter two repeated their performance. Larry Stuart, Blue Devil back, raced 63 yards for their initial score. In the final stanza Hensley took a pass from Hall as the Blue and White made their futile bid for victory. Don Hanna skirts around end. The Rockets and Warren Central mix it up on the line. Another T. D. for Ripple! ' Boofie Chapman kicks off and the Rockets move downfield. 53 J ulUl Jl afuL: Soc (x)inA., Brown returned the ensuing kick-off 62 yards. Several plays later Hanna completed the scoring for the day and one of the greatest of the school ' s football seasons was history. Ralph Chapman, end; Jack Pursel, guard; Chuck Scott, center; Don Hanna, halfback; and Pern Cornelius, fullback, were mem- bers of the squad who were selected on various all-city teams. Lettermen Bob Bastian, Ralph Chapman, Bill Flack, Don Hanna, Bob MacDaniel, Phil Neff, Sam Newlund, Jack Pursel, Chuck Scott, and Tom Stroop ended their football warfare with the triumph over Shortridge.

Winners of twenty-seven games while losing two, the 1944-45 edition of the Ripple basketball squad advanced through the Sectionals, Regionals and Semifinals, only to lose a heart- breaking 37-35 decision to State Champion Bosse of Evansville.

The starting lineup usually was chosen from the following boys: Joe Jones, Tom Gray and Bob Davis, ends; George Emmelman and John Kellum, tackles; Bob Cummings, Bob Myers and George Fisher, guards; Floyd Weaver, center; Bob Berry, quarterback; Tom Berry and Jack Millis, halfbacks; Richard Clift and Leland Pennington, fullbacks. Not to be forgotten were Broad Rip- ple ' s faithful yell leaders, who gave the signals as Ripple rooters cheered their teams on to victory. Jim McClamroch was the third member of the varsity while Don Bolle assisted Dehority as reserve leader. Dick Fackler, Dick DeHority, and Jack Phillips, Rocket cheer leaders, watch from the sidelines. 60 ff L ihsL (Diamond. . . . VARSITY BASEBALL Row 1 — Jackson, manager, Harry Ervin, Legan, Clift, Carter, manager. Row 2 — Miller, Huff, Millican, MacDaniel, Gossman, McCloud, Baker, Steinhart. Row 3 — Kidney, Cornelius, Allen, Woods, Kellum, Ray, Michaelsen, Coach Baird. Building his team around nine returning lettermen, Coach Frank Baird led the 1945 baseball squad through a highly successful season. Max Allen, Dee Baker, Bob Gossman, Bob MacDaniel, Paul McCloud, Kenny Millican, Bob Steinhart, and Dick Woods, all letter winners from last year ' s team, formed the nucleus for one of the best nines ever fielded at Broad Ripple. Along with Dick Miller, Bill Huff, and Jack Legan, the afore-mentioned boys won the City Junior Baseball Class A championship during the summer vaca- tion under the banner of the Broad Ripple Cubs. Rake call was issued as usual before spring vacation and the candidates fell to and cleared the diamond in record time. As the annual staff put the Riparian to bed the Rockets were undefeated with six straight wins. Zionsville fell 6 to 2 in the season ' s opener, and later was downed a second time by the Orange and Black, 10 to 8. The Flashes of Franklin Township were walloped in a double-header, 1 1 to and 5 to 0, and Noblesville received a 9 to 1 drubbing. Bidding for their sixth victory, the nine had a close squeeze, edging out Cathedral, 7 to 6.

Under the able direction of Coaches Mordie Lee and Milton Hiatt the Ripple cindermen experienced another fine season. With four lettermen, Bob Avels, Richmond MacQuistan, Ed McDermed, and Bob Minniear forming the nucleus, the squad started practice in February, the kinks thawing with the weather. Starting fast the thinlies had outpointed the Deaf School and Southport, and Pike Township and Noblesville in triangular meets, and Howe and Lawrence in dual affairs as the deadline for annual copy was reached. Avels and John Nelson copped most of the honors in the mile. MacQuistan, Tom Berry and Bud Howard were the middle distance men, while Floyd Chafee showed the way in the dashes. McDermed and Jack Phillips were the ace timber toppers. Outstanding for the year was the mile relay team of Nelson, Berry, Avels and MacQuistan, having lost only once to Jeff of Lafayette ' s crack foursome in the Indianapolis Relays. In the field events the Rockets were sparked by McDermed, who represented Ripple in the 1944 State Track Meet, Jim Ward, Tom Stroop, and Ralph Chapman.
