' « 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.

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
