More than 1 30 years have come and gone since the pioneers forded White River at its shallowest and broadest point — the broad ripple . Yet the historical heritage of Broad Ripple is still reflected in the modern village, an area offering continual enjoyment for Ripple students. Ripplites can browse through the unique specialty shops in The Village, where such items as antiques, gifts, apparel, books, sporting goods and music are sold. Hungry students can satisfy their appetites at one of the restaurants in the community. The Broad Ripple Park, which became famous as a recreational and amusement center in the early 1900 ' s, still serves as a place of entertainment for sports and games. The canal was constructed in 1 836 as a link of the Central Canal. Work on this canal brought many people into the Broad Ripple area, causing business to develop and grow. Now utilized by the Indianapolis Water Company, the quiet canal creates a peaceful setting for a walk to feed the ducks which live on its banks. 1 Debbie Patton satisfies her hunger pangs by eating an ice cream cone after school. 2 Tiny blossoms herald the arrival of spring in the active village of Broad Ripple. 3 The village shops are frequented by shop- pers throughout the day. 4 After a busy day at school, Kim Lockhart relaxes at Broad Ripple Park. 5 Janie Felsher feeds the ducks that are a symbol of Broad Ripple Village.

Broad Ripple ' s enrollment for the 1973-1974 school year was 1,540 with 51% of the student body black and 49% of it white. The modern Broad Ripple building with 75 classrooms is now used almost around the clock for both day and evening school sessions. Ripple is also used around the year with more than 700 students attending the 1 973 summer school session. New to Broad Ripple this year was a signboard erected in the late sum- mer of 1 973 on the northwest corner of the campus. A project initiated by the Association of Parents and Teach- ers, the signboard serves as a long- needed communication between school and community. «a
