A Kl f I J A O C Courses in Conversational Languages Offered; LM I L7 A M V7 E. Spanish Club Brought Back into Existence The percentage of student enroll- ment at Broad Ripple in foreign lan- guage remained well above the national average with over 33% of the student body enrolled. New to Broad Ripple this year were V2 credit Conversational French, Spanish and German classes. The pur- pose of these classes was to broaden student ' s communication skills by speaking the language. Enthusiastic Spanish students formed the Spanish Club. Many plan- ned activities aided students to a bet- ter understanding of Spanish-speak- ing peoples and cultures. Two club members taught Spanish dances to the others in the club, and dinners were arranged at Spanish restau- rants. The French Club sold stationery to raise money to sponsor a trip to a French-speaking area this summer. The main purpose of the trip is to improve French language skills by speaking only French for a time. 1 Steve Loy and Gabby Binder prepare a bulletin board in German class. 2 Dividing heliotropism into its correct roots occupies David Feldman in Etymology. % 28

A T TO Advanced Art Students Design Yearbook Cover Designing the 1974 Yearbook cover was a project of the Advanced Art I students this year. Scenes depict- ing life in Broad Ripple Village and Indianapolis, as well as Broad Ripple High School, were combined in a mural-like design. Students experi- mented with tissue paper, water color, ink and many other media in creating the finished composition. Art faculty increased from three to four this year to cope with a rising enrollment in art, one of the highest enrollments in Indianapolis. Swing Choir and Music History Lit- erature were two of the five new courses offered by the Music Depart- ment. Nearly 30% of all Broad Ripple students were enrolled in a music class, also one of the highest enroll- ments in the city. 1 During jewelry class, Donna Smith holds a ring while Amy Trimpey hammers the metal around the setting. 2 Getting the slits at both ends of the pole parallel is the objective of Linda Richardson and Hilary Van Utt in their creative design class. 3 Lynda Richardson concentrates on memor- izing her music for Madrigals. 30
