' 1 RIPPLE ' S OROW NO eV P AW OViWOy NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN — A BIG YEAR FOR BROAD RIPPLE. THE ENROLL- MENT, FACULTY, AND CURRICULUM ARE GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS! YET THE FRIENDLINESS, THE FELLOWSHIP, THE RIPPLE DO-IT-TOGETHER SPIRIT — THESE TOO HAVE GROWN. IT IS TO THIS SP IRIT OF GROWTH THAT OUR ANNUAL IS DE- VOTED. Hill Hi mil ' ! RIPPLE YESTERDJiY AND 72? . - In 1888 only six students became Broad Ripple ' s first graduat- ing class. This year Ripple ' s largest senior class, two hundred thirty- five strong, is graduating. In the years that have elapsed between these classes, Indianapolis has seen many changes take place here on the banks of White River. From an enrollment of twenty-five in the proverbial little red school house of yesterday, Ripple has grown until today the buildings are again bursting at the seams with 1,320 students! We know, however, that increase in size alone does not tell the story of our high school. From year to year Ripple has grown, not only in enrollment and curriculum, but also in spirit and in stature among her sister schools. The name Broad Ripple stands for the best, and the best is get- ting better all the time. RIPPLE T04 lPJ?JPi? f Teeming hallways, jammed classrooms, an overflowing cafeteria — these will soon become mere memories at Ripple. In the not too distant future, work will be started on a new building which will complete the original square design of the school. When this expan- sion is finished our school will be prepared to accommodate the ever- increasing horde of students who seek the friendliness and excellence of everything that pertains to Broad Ripple. Yes, Ripple is growing, and it will continue to increase not only in size but also in demo- cratic spirit as long as every Ripplite holds in his heart the creed of our school, Broader, Richer, Human Service. J MR. K. V. AMMERMAN In the fall of 1923, just after Broad Ripple had become a part of the city school system, Mr. Karll Von Ammerman came from Manual to be principal of the newest city high school. That small school with an enrollment of ninety-two pupils was a far cry from the great institution he has made it to- day. As the size of the school has grown the achievements of the pupils have kept up the pace, until today Ripplites are taking the lead in school activi- ties of city and state. Much of this development is due to the philosophy of Mr. Ammerman, a philosophy of education that is far beyond his time. His dauntless belief in the human integrity and individual differences of students has resulted in an atmosphere of freedom and an informal spirit found in few high schools any- where. The relationship of one pupil to another and the teacher-pupil coop- eration at Ripple show the value of his policies. Mr. Ammerman, after almost twenty-four years as principal of Broad Ripple High School, is today as young in spirit as on that first day in the small school of long ago. The ever-open door of his office symbolizes the mot- to which he gave to our school and of which he is the perfect example. These words, Broader, Richer, Human Service, indeed depict the grand old man of Broad Ripple, K. V. Ammerman. MR. C. EDGAR STAHL Courteous, capable C. Edgar Stahl, Ripple ' s man behind the scenes, keeps the bustling office and entire school working efficiently with his almost superhuman patience and organizing ability. His is a hard job, long on work and a bit short on applause, for as vice- principal some unpleasant duties sometimes come his way. He sees them through in the best Ripple tradition and comes up with a smile and a job well done. 10 Working by M eaps and Bounds May 1 use the phone? Is Mr. Stahl busy? Where is Miss Connor this period? Each day the office staff patiently answer hundreds of questions such as these. Absences, scoldings, lost and found articles, emergencies of every kind, all these are efficiently looked after by those hard-working inhabitants of Ripple ' s office. Mrs. Clauser, in the bookstore, capably supplies Ripplites with the many articles needed in everyday school work. The staff in the main office, directed by Mrs. Hall, keeps the multitude of records up to date and in apple- pie order. ff ' Rogues Gallery ff • v- Margaret Anderson Her mathematical mind has a tendency to make us work overtime, but we know she ' s a swell friend.

Jones, Mother ' s Tea; }. Wilson, Class Day. I The best senior class — the seniors of 1947 have worked hard to make their class exemplify those words. After much campaigning the class elected Dick Clymer as its president. Helen Jones was chosen vice-president while Cynthia Baker and Jim Schmidt served as secre- tary and treasurer, respectively. Senior Color Day, full of fun, was followed by the Mother ' s Tea, Class Day, the senior play, and that all-important Junior-Senior Reception. Then came baccalaureate and graduation, and so ended our four years at Broad Ripple. The happy times, the sad moments, the successes and failures — these, our memories of Ripple, we will cherish always. Senior Sponsors (L. to R.) : Mr. Mahin, Miss Randall, Miss King, Mr. Wann 16 ' « Groivn-Ups 99 September, 1943 — that was a momentous month for this year ' s senior class — a month filled with new experiences, new friends; the thrill of entering that dreamed-of institution, high school. Four years seemed such a long time, time for everything anyone could ever want to do, but those years slipped by leaving never-to-be-forgotten memories of fun and friends, triumphs and defeats. During our sophomore year basketball took first place, for Ripple had a great team. Then, so quickly, we reached that revered status — upperclass- men at last! Election of officers, the Junior-Senior Reception, these too passed by and suddenly — we were seniors. vice-K ' ' - Ba « scr ' y.

Another first at Broad Ripple this year was the estabhshment of a Reserve Officers ' Training Corps Unit. Due to the lack of space, the corps was forced to hold class sessions under the girls ' gym, where the noise from above interfered with lectures. This handicap did not affect the quality of the battalion, however, for the unit set a fine first-year record. Sergeant Hershal Souders was senior instructor assisted by Ser- geant George Miller. To them and to Col. Paul Snowden, PSM T of the Indianapolis schools, much of the credit goes for starting the unit. Early in the fall, the hundred-sixty-odd cadets were organized into a battalion composed of two companies. Officers, appointed by virtue of previous military training, were: Cadet Major John Rudy, battalion commander; Cadet Captains Robert White and Forest Riddell, company commanders; Cadet First Lieutenants Jere Jones, battalion adjutant, and John Nordholt, and Cadet Lieutenants Lewis Stratton, Eugene Easley, and Mac Parsons. Company A With intensive drill in the fall, the unit was prepared for the Armistice Day Parade through the Indianapolis streets. During the winter months classes in marksmanship, weapons, hygiene and first aid, and military courtesy were held. With spring, came more drill and Federal Inspection. Bringing more growth in numbers and honors to Broad Ripple, the ROTC unit has built itself a firm foundation for the years to come. Row 1: F. Riddell, J. Rudy, R. White. Row 2: J. Nordholt, L.

F rsf Place in Formal Essay Pulse of a Nation Some where in these United States a baby is being born this very minute. Be it black or white; be it of wealth or poverty; be it fair of form or twisted in shape; it has already received the greatest gift man- kind has to offer, it has been born an American. It is impossible for this infant to realize the legacy that is his. For he has been born into a country that seethes and throbs with ambition. Born of a nation comparable to a giant whose sinew muscles ache to perform the waiting task, difficult as it may be. Whose hands are the hands of farmers and mechanics, of miners and of statesmen. Whose voice is the voices of a hundred and forty million strong. And through its body as through yours and mine run arteries pumping life, strength, and vitality to its extremities. That life and vitality is the heritage from our forefathers; from the pilgrims who founded our country; from the men who made our Consti- tution. And when a hand of that giant grows leprous with racial discrimination and religious intolerance, the recall of that Constitution that insures and demands the equal rights of man purifies and the hand is cleansed. Should that other hand become lethargic at the present state of world affairs, the memory of the chaos in which other men conceived so great a Con- stitution inspires and goads one on to greater achieve- ment. Then as now, war-weary and exhausted, the na- tion was divided between joy at having gained its in- dependence by shaking free of the shackles of a des- potic king which threatened its very existence, and fear and uncertainty as to a future unanchored and drifting from the haven of peace toward which it had turned as a homing bird. The only way to avert this calamity was the for- mation of a strong central governing body, guided by rules and regulations conceived with faith in God and Country and reinforced by a document of iron- bound rules of personal freedom for which America had fought. America had won the right to set in motion the government of its dreams. This they did, and out of the fog of disbelief and cruelty, of tyranny and op- pression, the Constitution was born. Forever must it be the deciding factor when ques- tions of racial intolerance, of cruel greed, of per- verted ambition attempt to efface the clear-cut pat- tern of its dictates. For this little band of exiles, of dreamers, of poets, of statesmen built better than they know (for they built for all ages, for all na- tions) a code which is indisputed in its decisions. Since the days of its conception in 1787, men have fought by pen and sword to preserve its rights for we the people, have fought and died to defeat the tyrants who have waded to their thrones through rivers of blood who have destroyed it. Its voice is heard abroad as well as here, speaking of hope to the apprentice in his workshop, of freedom warning to the coward kings who would oppose it. If those coward kings would know how dearly we cherish the privileges and the responsibilities it gives us, then let them ask the British Crown of 1776, of Kaiser Wilhelm, or Hitler and Mussolini and Hirohito, and they will tell them singly or en masse that man, ever once endowed with freedom, will fight to the last iota of his energy to safeguard it for his posterity. And with each succeeding battle through which he labors for it, he would labor through a thousand more. Realizing our strength, they shout at us, What stupidity is it then that shackles your mighty arms from using your myriad resources in conquering the world? And quietly we reaffirm the ideals of the Constitu- tion that would rather lead the world in freedom than rule the world by slavery. Ignorant of the privileges of American citizen- ship under that Constitution, those evil monarchs ask, What premium is it you offer? What titles do you bestow upon your immigrants that lure them from our shores to your nation? Premium? We offer a haven for the oppressed, granting equality and opportunity, liberty, and jus- tice for all who seek it and deserve to have it. Titles? No titles — except that one they will utter with uplifted head and proud voice: Now I am an American. It should not be difficult for these dictators to understand the magnetic power of Americanism that makes our country the melting pot of the oppressed of the world. It is merely a study in contrasts. Where they incarcerate and immure the song of liberty under the authoritarian schemes of their per- sonal doctrine, the Constitution of our land excites and encourages it in the hearts of our countrymen. Where they would efface the inalienate rights of men, we would protect them for eternity at all costs. They are strong in greed. We are strong in faith. With the faith that our Constitution, the belief of freedom thinking men, we would crush their greedy tentacles which are grasping constantly for new con- quests. Much as they wish it, our blessed nation will never degenerate to their system of government by some, for some. It will forever remain a government by all, for all. We are the protected children of the Constitu- tion. How calmly we take for granted this man- fought-for, God-given blessing. 55 How c.iiinl) ' wc accept the I ' oiir 1 rccdoms j;rantcd us: Freedom of Religion — that right to worship a di- vine being as we choose. Freedom of Speech — no gestapo controls our radio, our press. No divinely endowed ruler censors our literature. We speak freely as Americans. So freely wc forget the hushed voices elsewhere in the world. May our Constitution continue to speak to the op- pressed in a voice of promise — promise of freedom. Freedom from Fear — That small babe sleeps now in a sheltered home with no fear of death-raining skies, for war is over and peace is won — freedom from fear at last! Freedom from Want — Strong in our might, we coax the golden grain from the soil. The cattle feed upon the plains. The furnaces blast a song of steel to come. We are free from want, free as only Americans can be. We are the protected children of the Constitu- tion. Let us not mince these words. Let us shout our adoration for our democratic way of life from the highest spire, making it reverberate down through the halls of time. For our Constitution is the text- book of freedom. It is the pulse of our nation. Ross CoPELAND, Eng. VL Firsf Place in Freshman Prose My First Impressions of Broad Ripple Looking back upon my first week at Broad Ripple, I recall some of the absurd fears which entered my mind. The school seemed to be so big that I thought I should never be able to reach my classrooms on time, even if I did succeed in getting through the rush in the halls without becoming a casualty. Then, there was the small matter of learning to operate the locker combination, which never seemed to work no matter what numbers I used. And, oh, that lunchroom line! It reminded me of some of the ladies ' nylon stocking lines at the stores during the war, and I even ex- pected them to say, Sorry, but we ' re all out of food today, when I finally reached the steam table. However, my fears came to naught, for I actually did arrive at class safely and on time, my locker did open occasionally, and the cafeteria did have some food left when I reached the steam table. I some- how managed to pull through that first dreadful week all in one piece, and now I am looking forward to four happy years at Broad Ripple. Elaine Cook. First Place in Freshman Poetry Changing Seasons In the spring I love to see The budding of the cherry tree. The robin red breast build his nest Of strings and twigs he finds the best. The tulips and the daffodils That fill the meadows and the hills — A promise of the things to come — The summer and the glorious sun. The rage of summer ' s sun has past And Jack Frost with his brush comes fast To brighten all the landscape ' round Before the leaves fall on the ground. ' Tis then one morning that I wake To find the ground, the trees, the lake, All covered with the ice and snow Which glistens in the wintry glow. James Beatty, First Place in Informal Essay She Had Something to Live for Back on a long hot day of last midsummer, one of our steer tore its way into a vast field of alfalfa. This white-face was wild! The sun was just going down as I set out after him with my German shep- herd dog. King. As we trudged along the growth- covered fencerow, the coolness of the coming night seemed to lend solemn silence. Hours passed, no luck. The moon began to shine, outlining God ' s natural gardens. I honestly believe my dog and I could have forgotten our task. WTien! I was petrified as I saw two large, green, piercing eyes! Then! Everything happened so fast, all at once. They leaped toward me. Knowing not where I got the freedom of my senses or of my limbs, I kicked it. King was there as it hit the ground. He seemed to be tearing it to pieces until I yelled his name. Again it dropped to the ground in a heap. As I slowly lifted it by the hairless tail into the moonlight, I saw grizzly grayish fur, naked ears, and a silly grin on a long snouted face. It seemed to me like a wooly pig about the size of a cat weigh- ing ten pounds. I had started toward the yard where I could get artificial light when I realized the beast was still alive. King carried it from there and stood guard while I got my gun. Breaking the silence, three shots rang through its head. The minutes seemed to crawl by until it finally lay limp. Again I picked it up, and on its abdomen between its short legs, I found a pouchlike opening. I reached inside and I found some- thing soft, small, and squeegy. I pulled on this until my hand freed the object. , was a she! Wbcn I had finished there was a pile of helpless little mites on the ground. The mother gave a last flinch and was dead. The cats feasted on the young but this would- have-been proud mother possum had a decent burial. She, living, was a true menace. Once again we started out on a search for the wild white-face. Bruce Linuenbhrg, Eng. VII. 56 First Place in Poetry Prelude I love to sit and watch the sky Before a storm. The green-clad branches reach up high. And all is calm. Then, as the darkening, gathering clouds Begin to close, And shadow all the hills enshrouds Like creeping foes, A gentle breath begins to swirl Among the trees; And leaves turn silver-gray and curl In the cool breeze. Then suddenly the dark, gray sky Is cut by light. And thunder noisily rolls by As swift as fright. The grasses sway, the trees bend low. The sky awakes; The heavens wash the earth below. n he storm now breaks. GiORiA Novak, English VII Part I of first Place in a Group of Three Sketches Synonym of Spring Soft, dimpled clouds hang loosely about a quiet sky of fragile blue. Water runs cool from the abun- dant, gurgling spring, made transparent by the new sunlight. It flows over rocks now unmarred by ice or snow. Slowly it finds its way to a natural reser- voir and here loses itself in an expanse of sparkling blueness. Surrounded only by beauty, now it may once again move freely until its existence is threat- ened another time by deadening winter. The quiet breezes become restless and begin to stir. They move the greening branches of the willow and maple into an increasing anxiety for the arrival of the robin. Ducks begin to swim once more in smoothly rippling waters, and the mosses surrounding this watery play- ground move restlessly in the wake of their feathered friends. All nature is wakened, to live, and to enhance life itself. A soft carpet of green has been revealed by the melting of the snows, and each blade struggles to- ward the ev er-brightening sun as if for encourage- ment and strength. Leaves are turning their pale bellies to the sun in the daylight, while at night the crickets laugh as if in mockery of the faltering coldness. The groundhog has come out for good. Frogs and held mice scamper about over the softness left by the thawing ice. Sheep move into the fields, and the cocky rooster crows with a renewed vigor. They all recognize it; it is here, and they praise it. It means life, growth, and happiness. Spring is here. Larry Clark, Adv. Comp. First Place in Character Sketches My Mother Travel! Whenever I hear that word, my mind immediately turns to my mother. Lrom the very first glimpse of her until the final impression, a person can tell that Mother has a yen for travel. Her eyes hold an expectant gleam at all times as if she is hop- ing some one will suggest a new venture of some sort. It matters not to her whether she is planning a luxurious air voyage to the bustling city of New York or a simple jaunt to the wooded hills of Brown County. Her veins tingle at the mere thought of going somewhere. At a few hours ' notice. Mother can have her suit- case packed and be ready to go. All of her friends know this, and are likely to call on her at any hour of the day or any day of the week to accompany them on some excursion that will lead to a new ad- venture. Since Mother is never certain when she will leave, she has to handle her affairs in such a manner that any person may be left in charge at any time. Consequently, she is quite efficient in her man- agement of details. Because Mother has traveled a great deal, she has the ability to make good and interesting conversa- tion on practically any topic. She can usually hold her own on whatever subject that happens to come up for discussion. From her journeys she has gath- ered much information that cannot be obtained from books. All over the country she has made friends with various types of people and, as a result, feels at ease wherever she happens to pop up. And believe me that could be anywhere! Mother has various souvenirs that she has picked up here and there, ranging from ordinary rocks to dainty lamps made of butterflies and straw-flowers. In our yard are plants and rocks of all types from all places. A small New York pine tree is neighbor to an Arizona cactus, and a grotesque old rock, re- moved from its lofty position on Pikes Peak, stands proudly next to a romantically tinted sea shell taken from the tropic waters of Florida. Our house, some- what like a museum, is full of relics and mementos which remind us daily of Mother ' s adventures. My mother treasures dearly the many wonderful sights that she has seen. Besides deriving many hours of pleasure from her travels, she has learned that the one thing people should cherish most is their home. No matter how eager she is to seek a new adventure she is always happier to return to her home and to the ones she loves, Bktty Braune, Eng. VI. 57 Hippie JMusic Hath Charm This year the instrumental music division has added to its Hst of sub- jects. The dance band, brass choir, string trio, and string ensemble, to- gether with the regular band and orchestra, entertain Ripplites and or- ganizations both in and out of school. Several members of this department participated in the all-state orchestra during the Music Festival. Through the work of Mr. Beckley and Mr. Hanscom, performing groups are readied for all occasions. The Clef Club, made up of those able to per- form on some musical instrument, is also sponsored by this department. String Trio L. TO R.: L. Smi h, D. Shcl wni, M. Hull.

Growing bigger and bigger — the enrollment, staff, and per- forming groups of the vocal music department reached an antici- pated peak in size. Ripple ' s top vocal group, the Golden Singers, has presented ten radio broadcasts. They, twenty-seven in all, and the largest yet choir, which totals seventy-two, participated in fifty programs reaching about 30,000 people. The Girl ' s Glee Club and the Boy ' s Glee Club are newly organized groups. This year a program to encourage a more friendly relationship between the city high schools was instituted. Mu ic grouos from Broad Ripple presented programs at the Indiana State School for the Blind and at Crispus Attucks High School. Ripple students were then entertained by musical programs presented by pupils of these two schools. The music department was enriched this year by the gift of a Hammond organ from our Parent-Teicher Association. This organ will be used in both vocal and instrumental divisions.

With seven returning letter- men the football Rockets went through an on-and-off season, winning five and losing four. Their first game substantiated their pre-season build-up. The Orange and Black rolled over Ben Davis, 44 to 0, as they turned up for the Tech tilt. However, Broad Ripple ' s hopes received a jolt as they were edged out by the Greenclads, 14-6. Sacred Heart fell 19-16 as the Ripplites returned to the vic- tory column the following week. In one of their best games of the season Broad Ripple lost a heart- breaker, 2-0, when they traveled to Richmond. Returning to their own grid- iron, the Rockets trounced W ar- ren Central, 26-0. Manual was the next victim on the short end of a 14-0 count. The following week Shortridge came to the Broad Ripple field for the first time in the B.R.H.S.-S.H.S. rivalry. The keyed-up Blue Devils went home with a 26-7 victory. The Rockets then completed a successful season by turning back the invading Howe Hornets, 19-0. Up Overhand In With four returning lettermen as a nucleus Coach Frank Bairtl developed a winning basket- ball combination. Although the squad was shaken up during part of the season by a couple of injuries, there were men ready to fill in to aid Broad Ripple in compiling a record of 1 5 victories in 23 games. The team was well-bal- anced, with the scoring depending on no one man. Lanky Jim Drew took the rebounds from his center position. Bill MacDougall ' s all-around excellence won accLiim .is he v,is selected for forward position on vari- ous mythical teams. His season record of 247 points was hi);h for the squad. A steady forward who stole re- bounds was lid Brown. Fast, hard driving. Bill Bastian provided that extra spark when it was needed. Jim Bruce, capable of being anywhere on the floor .it the right time, rounded out the first five. When Bruce and Bastian were forced to the side lines with injuries. Bob Stephens and Don Campbell proved capable replacements. Tom Walker showed himself highly valuable as a forward and center spare. Dick Clift and Bill Delzell added extra punch as guards. Don Klingler and Jere Jones, both up-and-coming at center and for- ward, respectively, saw action. HERE IS OUR RECORD B. R. 36 B. R. 52 Howe 42 R. R. 47 B. R. 5 1 B.

Only three lettermen returned to bolster pre- season hopes. The Rockets came through, however, as they dom- inated all events in their first two meets. Southport and Manual fell before the Ripplites in their second meet. Several underclassmen were helping to collect points which pointed to future success. The remaining schedule at the press deadline was: April May 15 At Howe 18 Crispus Attucks and Washington 22 Deaf School and Ben Davis 25 Tech Relays 2 City Meet 9 Warren Central 16 Sectional Meet I 70 It took Broad Ripple only six years of harrier competition to reach the top. Last year the Broad Rip- ple squad took fourth in the city. This year they rocketed to the city championship and second in the state. A record-breaking squad of twenty-two worked out during the season under the guidance of Coach Mordie Lee. He developed a well-balanced combination that compiled an enviable record. The nucleus of the squad consisted of six boys who garnered the title-winning points. They were Myron Austin, Steven Bond, Dick Gooding, Bill Liankins, John Liartzell, and Dave Rouse. Tech won the Rockets ' first duel meet as the Green- clad ' s Bill Benz set a new course record at Tech. Broad Ripple then took the middle spot in a triangular meet with Howe and Lawrence Central. The Orange and Black thinliclads hit their stride as they trounced Washington. Manual was the next victim as the Ripplites warmed up for the state. Broad Ripple and Mishawaka tied for second behind North Side of Fort Wayne in the state meet at River- side. Crispus Attucks and Shortridge were both soundly thumped as our harriers continued their winning ways. The Rockets finished a fine sea- son by bringing home the champ- ionship honors from the city meet. It was the last season for seniors Bill Hankins and Johnny Hartzell. With several up-and-coming men on the squad Coach Lee is looking forward to next season. Top Row: R. Lance, R. Joslin, }. Lung, D. Austin. Middle Row: Coach Lee, R. Cannon, D. Kirkpatrick, D.

Coach Baird used seven returning lettermen as a nucleus for his win- ning combination. The only sour note of the early season was the injury of Bill Kidney. Bill was expected to bear the heavier end of the pitching assignments. The Rockets mauled Franklin Township, 10 to 1, in their opener. Dick Roberts shut out the 1946 county champs, Ben Davis, with a no- hit performance as Broad Ripple squeezed out a 1-0 victory in their second start. The Rockets suffered their initial defeat 9-8 when they trav- eled to Southport. Returning to the victory column, they rallied in the bottom half of the seventh to beat Zionsville, 4-3. One more game with Zionsville remained before the opening of the city campaign.
