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.

SjwioUl Show ihsL Way. . . . And then, with a thrill of pride, we stepped into Room 1, seniors. 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.
