in four-room schoolhouse Reflections of Ripple ' s Past . . . With only seven pupils and one principal-teacher, BRHS proudly opened its doors in 1886 complete with modern furniture and out- house. Twenty-minute classes, conducted seven months each year, included courses in surveying and rhetoric. Lunch periods lasted an hour as Ripplites bought food from a neighborhood bakery truck and played rousing games of London Bridge. Other extra-curricular ac- tivities revolved around horse races and ice skating on White River — constant temptations to truancy. Even today one sees re- flections of this past in the present Ripplite, although he has replaced London Bridge and surveying with billiards and Calculus. Loudly creaking floors and the leaky ceiling of Study Hall 322 become a part of Broad Ripple ' s past with the replacement of the 1913 unit. Soon to be replaced by a new addition, Study Hall 219 (left) and Old Hallway (middle) echo the footsteps of busy Ripplites. Across the hall, math teachers pre- pare lesson plans in BRHS ' s original main office (right). Opening — 9

exuberance Reflections in the Present . . . One may delve into the past or dream of the future, but the present undoubtedly holds the essence of Ripple life. It is a composite of Mod boots, diets, and tandems which verify a Ripplite ' s participa- tion in his generation; a round of activity that makes one ' s teenage years hectic but precious. The Rip- plite ' s present is far from stereo- typed, for it is molded according to his own likes, challenges, and dreams. And although one teenager may build his present around studying and another around foot- ball, each molds an image which is imiquely 1967 — uniquely his own. Mentally adding up the calories in a piece of cheesecake, Laura Wilch joins Ripple ' s inclusive group of ' ' sometimes-on-but-more-often-off ' dieters. Amidst the colorful fall array of the Butler University cam- pus, Jim Peters and Susan Olive find tandem riding con- ■jiiKr- A - m. ducive to well-rounded friendship and good-natured laughter as they travel the university ' s well-worn foot paths.
