Tra- cey Mackey and Adrian Gar- rett, juniors, clown around with an old umbrella in the music hall. 2 Opening I t could begin with a few false ru- mors. Or a misunderstanding could snowball. Suddenly people believed the worst. It might happen to any high school . . . even Broad Ripple High School. Before I came to Broad Ripple ' Dana Radford, sophomore, said, I was afraid to come. But when I arrived, I was so happy because the people were so nice and the teachers were really friendly and made us (freshmen) feel at home. Unfortunately, not all could know the truth. Rumors were not facts. Broad Ripple is a good school, Tim Agnew, a Chatard High School student enrolled in one class each day at BR, said. ' The classes are the same here as at my school. Broad Ripple is just bigger. Mr. Maurice Huckleberry, social studies teacher, felt the same: I like Broad Ripple very much. There is a mixture of students with a variety of abilities. If the students want it, they can get a better, more rounded educa- tion here. They are dealing with the people they will be dealing with for the rest of their lives. It ' s possible to get an education in a fishbowl. Broad Ripple had many unique qua- lities. Performing groups were an im- portant part of many students ' days. Groups such as Jazz Band, Golden Singers, and the Off Broad Ripple Company were known throughout the state. Because of the special pro- grams, you get special people . . . indi- viduals ' Michelle Sanner, senior, Continued on page 5 BR MUNCHIN ' A crunch bar, Jean Childers, junior, supple- ments her lunch with candy. Candy bars were often sold by school clubs to earn extra money.

This tiger was one of the displays that led the sen- iors to win best decorated hall during the festivities of Homecoming. THRILLS AND chills are a part of football games at Rip- ple. Ripplites attend the games for both sport and so- cializing. f • ' ■ W S McCawley 4 Opening said. Everyone is here for a different reason. Students were also unique to Broad Ripple. There was a mixture of stu- dents and personalities. Broad Ripple is real, Celise Sternecker, sophomore, said. Here people can be themselves without being ridiculed. Education came first at Broad Rip- ple. Academically, Broad Ripple had much to offer its students. The teach- ers here are special, Michelle Jackson, senior, said. They know what they ' re doing and are friends as well as teach- ers. Ripple students had many advan- tages. The two magnet programs — the Center for the Humanities and the Center of Performing Arts — gave stu- dents a chance to explore special areas of study. I like the Performing Arts, Jennifer Shea, freshman, said. I think that it ' s great to offer it to students. It gives everyone the chance to show what he can do. With the enforcement of policies such as increased requirements for graduation and time-on-task, Ripple forged ahead. Enrichment and college- level courses filled many students ' schedules. Hall passes were checked and unexcused absences led to time in the Guidance Learning Center. Rip- ple has changed each year . . . for the better, Chris Megaschar, senior, said. When I was a freshman, I cut classes all the time. Now it ' s impossible. They ' ve really buckled down. Continued on page 7 USING THE time they have while waiting for their car- pool in front of the school, juniors Sharon O ' Dell and Rhonda Ritchie attempt to get a head-start on their home- work. TOO TUCKERED to type, Jason Brooke, junior, doses when he supposedly is doing his homework. This is not uncommon for many Ripple students as they push to meet deadlines. SUGAR CRAVINGS attack many Broad Ripple students. Some students head towards a local ice cream parlor. Mike Moffatt and Max Price, ju- niors, are no exception. The community saw through the fog to the real Broad Ripple High School. Broad Ripple is probably one of the most unique schools in the city, Wes Priest, sophomore, said. You can be in athletics, Thespians, or choral groups and still feel you are a part of the people who go here. One thing I like about Broad Rip- ple ' Maurice Hamel, senior exchange student from Switzerland, said, is that the people like their school. There is good school spirit. Everything is special about it . . . from its location to events like Homecoming. Broad Ripple was winning the case for public education and the inner-city school. People listened to our side of the story. Ripple was receiving recog- nition as fine center for learning. Doubters? There were some until they heard . . .

Zach Kreuz, sopho- more, plays the drums in Rip- ple ' s Jazz Band. Student life at Broad Ripple didn ' t end when the last bell rang. It had just begun. Ripple students spent their time at football games, rehearsals, club activities, homework, jobs, or just re- laxing. Spirits were high and excitement filled the air as students waited for the final bell, which signaled the week- end ' s arrival. These two-day furloughs never seemed to be long enough. This was probably because many students spent their weekends at part-time jobs for college funds or extra spend- ing money. Activity wasn ' t always outside school ground, though. Extra-curricu- lar clubs and sports filled the spare hours of many students. Projects and practices were predominant in many a lifestyle. Time passed quickly and academics could no longer be avoided. It was morning. Monday morning. And time to return to school. Even while the learning process was in full force, minds tended to wander. Students be- gan dreaming about the party coming up the next weekend . . . last Friday ' s basketball game ... a date for Satur- day. And that was . . . (Beth Buddenbaum) Student Life 9 IN THE SUMMER of 1984, Prince told us the rest of his story in his first motion picture, Purple Rain . The movie was based loosely on his life and love, Appolonia. FADING OUT to pass, quarterback Art Schlichter of the Indianapolis Colts, prepared to complete the play. The Colts hosted the Giants in the new Hoosier Dome. 10 Newsmakers touched our lives Different and exciting personal ties jrrounded us in 1984-85. Everywhere ■e looked and everytime we listened, we iw their images and heard their names. One superstar of the young was Prince. Prince and his movie and al- um Purple Rain were the talk of the wn. Other musical talents we watched id heard were Michael Jackson and his rothers. Although their Victory tour ypassed Indianapolis, we still followed leir journey. Along with the Jacksons and Prince r the list of popular rock stars were illy Idol, Bruce Springsteen, and Tina urner — all with top ten hits. Among movies we particularly en- joyed were Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Gremlins. Television favorites were Call to Glo- ry, Hill Street Blues, and Cheers. But we did not spend all of our time with music, TV, and films. We also watched political figures who affected our lives. Among the most interesting were President Ronald Reagan; Walter Mondale, the Democratic Party ' s nomi- nee to unseat the President; and Mon- dale ' s running-mate, Geraldine Ferraro. During the summer of 1984, all eyes were on the Olympic Games hosted by Los Angeles. Among the American Olympians we would be a long time for- getting were Mary Lou Retton, Mitch Gaylord, Peter Vidmar, Greg Loganis, Nancy Hoagland, Steve Lundquist, and Carl Lewis. As we began the school year, baseball fans were abuzz with excitement about the Chicago Cubs. Who were about to win a championship for their loyal fans. Here in Indianapolis, all attention was on the arrival of the Colts, the city ' s own League franchise. All of these personalities brought ex- citement into our lives. And the events we would associate with them would probably never be forgotten. (Amy Es- senberg) WITH GRIT and glory, Geraldine Ferraro strug- gled through her vice presidential campaign. Ms. Ferraro was the first woman ever to run for this office.

Each day multitudes of students await- ed that 3:10 bell, indicating the end of another strenuous day. Masses of students boarded the Metro as they went home to the comforts of TV, beds, good food, and family. Others could be seen rushing to foot- ball practice, preparing for basketball tryouts, going to rehearsal, or discussing fund-raisers. For these students BR stayed alive long after 3:10. And there were always the hall dwell- ers, who, although they had no purpose at school, couldn ' t seem to part with this edifice. They wandered the halls looking for clubs to visit or they cleaned out their lockers, talked to friends, or just played around. These evenings passed all too quickly, so what was it that kept BR students going? The weekends, explained most students. Never too soon came that famed WEEKEND. The excitement mounted as BR pre- pared for a game that would hopefully be followed by a victory party. Saturday started after noon for some while others rose early to work. The day soon turned to night as students decided how to spend their last night of freedom, whether it be going to a party, movie, over to a friend ' s or out on the town. Monday came too early for these weekend buffs as the realities of forgot- ten homework surfaced and they once again returned to the beckoning halls of BRHS.

LAID BACK in the classroom, up front in fashion, the classic canvas high top moves its way back into the fad scene. 5. Brooke S. Brooke Fashion goes ' your own way ' While Broad Ripple didn ' t really have dress code, students did have their naginative ways of dressing. Most of 1984-85 ' s fads and fashions insisted of students ' imitating their arious musical and theatrical idols, hese costumes were recognizable to the ;llow fan . . . and interesting to those ' ho didn ' t comprehend the inside mean- gs. Whether the outfits were under- :ood or not, they were sported with ride and daring courage. One such follower, Kevin Majors, ju- ior, had plenty to say on the subject. I ke the Billy Idol look — leather jackets, ' ild hair, black boots, and spiked wrist and. Basically, a mean look. That gives le the feeling of being in control, and ?elings go along with fashion. Tracey Mackey, junior, said, I think something that is really in is to wear what you want to be in. You can wear a mini-skirt or a skirt down to your an- kles, be a prep or a punker . . . and still be fashionable according to how you feel. People occasionally dressed as they felt, but then there were those with very definite opinions. Lisa Knotts, junior, said, The Limited Express look and day- glo clothes are gross. They are obnoxious to look at. My personal favorite would be the wear-and-tear look. There were some styles Amy Kassen- brock, senior, saw as no-no ' s. Of all the fashion girls have gotten into, I really hate Bop, the Cyndi Lauper look, but, most of all, the look of girls who think they are Madonna. There were some of those who chose to dress more conservatively. Clynt Grubbs, senior, said, The fashions I like are the neat, clean-cut look, such as the clothes you get from the attic. The ones your parents used to wear. Hair also was a factor in fashion. There was colored hair, half-colored hair, and multi-colored hair. Haircuts and styles were also varied. Many of the Broad Ripple students — male and fe- male — were sporting lengthy tails in the back. As always, fashions had a great deal of influence on people. But whether it was clothes, hair styles, or just plain atti- tudes, the look of Broad Ripple changed with the times.

RIPPLITES, WITH their busy schedules, often cannot find time to stop and smell the flowers. Liz Cox, senior, manages to take time to stop by Roses and Lollipops in the Village on occasion. S Brooke S. Brooke Exciting Indy building for future Many Broad Ripple pupils pictured Indianapolis as the most boring city on a Friday night, next to Toledo, accord- ing to Chris Luckenbill, senior. Not everyone in Indianapolis believed this. For local developers like Bob Borns, P.R. Duke, and R.V. Welch, Indianapolis provided a healthy environment for resi- dential and city revitalization. Indianapolis was fortunate enough to have many people who were concerned about improving the look of the city and attracting industry. One example of this was the construction of the Hoosier Dome. Construction was subsidized by tax dollars and grants. The Dome was built with the hope of drawing businesses to locate in Indianapolis and bringing pro- fessional athletics to the city that billed itself as the amateur sports capital of the world. Construction crews worked daily to change the skyline of Indianapolis. The construction of the new Granada Royale Hotel at the corner of Illinois and Wash- ington Streets was just one of the ma hotels and office buildings to go around the city. The renovated Cir Theater welcomed the Indianapolis Syi phony Orchestra back to the center the city. Many cities reached a final point growth. Expansion ceased; they began die.

If not from television news, their information might come from the daily newspaper, morning radio broad- casts, or weekly news-magazines. Class- room discussions with teachers and classmates helped students to better un- derstand certain events that were taking place during the year. Among events we heard about and dis- cussed in 1984-85 were: The birth of the second son to Prince Charles and Princess Diana The re-election of President Ronald Reagan and Gov. Robert Orr The assassination of Indira Gandhi, prime minister of India The debate over the proposed Star Wars defense system The terrorist sky-jacking in which two Americans were murdered in Tehran The starving people of Africa — par- ticularly Ethiopia President ' s Reagan ' s battle to reduce the nation ' s deficit The debate over federal income tax reform The successful implantation of a me- chanical heart into Hoosier William Schroeder As Ripplites came to care more about the happenings of the world, they learned they really could do little about them. They could only hope for the best to come out of each situation. (Jennifer Buddenbaum) CONTINUING WARFARE between rebel and government forces in Central American countries like Honduras and El Salvador has diverted Ameri- can attention from fighting elsewhere in the world — for now. 18 World Events WITH PLEDGES from individual Americans and private corporations, work began on the major re- pairs needed by the Statue of Liberty before its 100th birthday.

However, 1984-85 was not the best time for everyone. Miss America, Vanessa Williams (left) lost her crown after nude pictures of her appeared in Penthouse magazine. And despite all the hype for the Jack- son Five ' s Victory Tour, Michael Jackson ' s (above) popularity seemed to diminish. World Events 19 S.

WORKING AS a clerk at Ups-n-Downs, Jennifer McCawley, senior, checks the price of a winter jacket. Ripplites find jobs valuable Work was becoming an essential part of many Broad Ripple students ' life- styles. Due to the rising cost of colleges and the fact that just getting by was be- coming more expensive, Ripplites had to search for jobs. I got a job because I ' m going to college next year, said Bobbie Eldridge, senior, and it ' s so expensive. It ' s my responsibility to help out with the cost. Money wasn ' t the only reason that students held jobs. Experience was also important. I love it! said Jennifer McCawley, senior, I like the people I work with and it ' s good experience for future jobs. The money that students earned went to college funds, clothes, food, and enter- tainment. I use my money to party and for clothes, remarked James Briscoe, senior, I also have a savings account for college and for my car that I ' m going to get before the end of November. The jobs varied greatly. Cooking and serving fast food, working in clothing and department stores, bagging grocer- ies, and waitressing were only a few of the employment opportunities taken by Ripple students. For those under 16 wh could not legally be employed and those who needed an occasional money pick me-up, babysitting and paper routes of fered sufficient income. Finding a job wasn ' t always easy. Of ten there weren ' t any available, or the jot wasn ' t what the student wanted. Jobs were overall helpful to Broad Rip pie students. Whether for fun, exper ience, or just for extra funds, jobs playec an important part in the lives of man} Ripplites.

Brooke 22 Homecoming Despite time limitations, Homecoming spirit soars Because of time-on-task requirements the 1984 Homecoming was unlike home- comings of previous years. Major changes were the elimination of the traditional Homecoming Pep Session during the last class period of the school day and the loss of float-building time during school hours. As a result only two floats entered Homecoming judging. Despite the changes some things re- mained the same. The hall decorating by classes did take place. Each class was as- signed a specific hall area to decorate. Because of its elaborate decorations the Senior Class hall display won the 1984 award. Throughout the week before Home- coming Day, Broad Ripple hallways WA VINC TO onlookers along the Homecoming Parade route up Broad Ripple Avenue, ROTC king and queen candidates Aaron Smith and Kimberly L. Johnson are driven by Army Recruiter SSG Pres- ton Harden. Later they were crowned king and queen. were also filled with hobos, punks, and Roman citizens. As BRHS tradition would have it, each day was set aside specifically for a dress theme — Nation- ality Day, Toga Day, Hobo Day, Punk Day, and finally Orange and Black Day. As Homecoming Day arrived, clubs, societies, and auxiliaries each made last- minute preparations for floats, decorated cars, marching units, and naming of homecoming king and queen. Elected king and queen were ROTC candidates Aaron Smith and Kimberly L. Johnson, seniors. Building the winning float in 1984 were the Thespian Society and the Masque and Mime. Major events of Homecoming Day were the parade up Broad Ripple Ave- nue; the Homecoming Game, which Broad Ripple won; and the Homecoming Dance afterward. The spirit had been rekindled during a week of activity aimed at developing pride in BRHS.

Buddenbaum BREAKING THE fall, Clive (Rick Hasler, senior) catches the fainting Mr. Humphrey (Paul Man- fredi, junior) in the Thespian Troupe ' s comedy, See How They Run. Dramatists offer variety Excitement was in the air. Weeks of preparation and practice had led to this moment. Feelings were mixed — ranging from fright to overwhelming excitement. This was an experience many felt as their time came to perform on stage. Masque and Mime opened the 1984-85 school year with One Acts. This was composed of three acts lasting about one-half hour each. One of the aspects of One Acts that separated it from other productions was the use of a three-quar- ter round stage on which the audience was seated close to the actors. The opening act was The Wedding, directed by Laura Durrett and Sara Map- per, juniors. This light comedy told of the bride ' s and groom ' s preparations for their big day. The second act was The Nine O ' Clock Mail, directed by Debby Har- ris, junior, and Jason Little, senior. This was the absurd story of a man obsessed with his mail. The final act was The Man in the Bowler Hat, written by A.A. Milne, who also wrote Winnie the Pooh. Ans- ley Valentine, senior, was student direc- tor. This was the story of an ordinary couple experiencing a very unordinary evening. The Thespian Troupe ' s principal ac- complishment was the 1984 spring play, See How They Run, directed by facul- ty sponsor Dolly Davis. The successful production was a farce about seven men, one of which is a Russian spy, masquer- ading as priests. Trying to discover the identity of the spy turned into chaos. (Jeannie Kaplan) B.

Drama 25 COMING TO save the village is the beautiful and graceful cockroach exterminator, played by Zana Mitchell, senior, who is warmly greeted by the handsome prince, Mike Moffatt, sopho- more. 1984 ' Ripples ' go to rats The 1984 Ripples broke at least one tradition. For the first time in 16 years, the last act did not win best act. Instead the first act, Rats, won. Rats was written and directed by Heidi Fledderjohn, Susan Brummer, and Chris Noel, seniors. The skit told the story of the rodents ' quest for food dur- ing summer vacation at Rod Bipple High School. The second act, American Hero, was written and directed by Ansley Valen- tine and Nadine Spears, juniors. It told the story of a not-so-typical nerd, Tom, played by Paul Manfredi, sophomore, who falls in love with the desirable Su- zie-Q, played by Sarah Harvey, junior. In his attempt to gain her love, he is tran- formed into an American hero. The third act, La Cucaracha, was written and directed by Tricia Smitha and Richard Hazel, seniors. A parody of Hamlet, it told of a village overrun by cockroaches. Also, seven acts — ranging from a comedian-juggler to musical groups — entertained during intermissions. The winning intermission act was a quartet, Birds of a Feather, which included Jen- ny Potter, sophomore; Jason Little, ju- nior; and Richard Hazel and Zana Mitch- ell, seniors. During the April 13-14 performances, one of the largest audiences ever saw Ripples. The crowds were enthusiastic, at times loud. It was a lot of fun, Greg Hodges, junior, said. You ' ll definitely see me there next year. One reason for Ripples ' popularity was that so many students had the op- portunity to be involved in the produc- tion. Rats alone required a cast of 50. Ripples was an interesting experience, Greg Russell, junior, said. It was a lot of fun, but it also meant a lot of late night rehearsals.

Musical ' Scrooge ' sets mood of holiday cheer S. Brooke The curtain rose for another Broad Ripple musical, which began the Christ- mas season for many in 1984. Talented students gathered on stage to sing, dance, and perform for the eager audi- ences. Scrooge was based on Charles Dick- ens ' story, A Christmas Carol. The story took place in Cheapside, London in the mid 1800s. The musical told of the old miser Ebenezer Scrooge (Chris Luck- inbill, senior), who ended up warming the hearts of all the people around him. Jacob Marley, Scrooge ' s deceased partner (Steve Galloway, senior), returned to warn Scrooge to stop neglecting others during his lifetime before it was too late. Shortly after Marley ' s return three spirits visited Scrooge. The Ghost of Christmas Past (Jean Childers, junior), The Spirit of Christmas Present (Ansley Valentine, senior), and the Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come (Ashley Oaks), all visited Scrooge before Christmas morn. The story ended with Scrooge ' s par- taking in the Christmas festivities and singing Thank You Very Much with the townsfolk of Cheapside. The production, directed by Mrs. Lu- anda Paul, music department chairman, and was well received by the audiences. (Amy Essenberg) BAH HUMBUG!

More than half of the Ripplites were involved in sports in some way, shape, or form. If they wer- en ' t participating, they were attending as spectators. Broad Ripple fans cheered teams in a variety of sports, ranging from soc- cer to wrestling. The action was al- ways as heated as diversified. Soccer remained the ever-present newcomer to the Ripple sports scene. Despite its growing appeal, soccer was still considered a club sport in Indiana and failed to make it as an acknowl- edged IHSAA sport. The Football Club at BRHS, team members were not dis- couraged as they built respectable win-loss records. However, teams were not the only important factor. Individual efforts did not go unnoticed. Jeffrey Sherrels, senior flanker in football, won WTLCs Athlete-of-the-Month hon- ors. Mark Lenoir, junior, and Gena Stubbs, senior, captured statewide at- tention in basketball. And Peter Lacy was crowned champion for his divi- sion in th city freshman wrestling tournament. Although Ripple had no record- breaking teams in 1984-85, the teams were out of the ordinary. It was a year of trial. We had no loss; we acquired no gain. But we were becoming stron- ger. We had reached . . . (Beth Buddenbaum) Sports Divider 31 S.

It was rebuilding year in Football Along with the leaves that come every fall, so must the football season. The Rockets, led by new Head Coach John Haynes, started the season with the hope that the rela- tively young Broad Ripple Rockets would develop into a strong varsity football team. With most young teams, though, inexperience can re- sult in making many mis- takes. This proved true with the Rockets ' 2-6 season. One strong point of the Rockets was the defense. The BR defense led the city in team interceptions and de- flected passes. Coach Haynes was impressed with the run- ning of Jeffery Sherels, senior split end, and Antrawn Wil- burn, senior tailback. Sherels, who scored 13 TD ' s during the season, ranked fourth in city scoring. Wilburn stood second in city rushing statistics with a 123.5-yards-per-game aver- age. Coach Haynes said, We ' ve lost some very close games that an experienced team usu- ally wouldn ' t have let hap- pen. But he felt the exper- ience the gained would prove beneficial in the future.

Coach Dave Priest, com- pleting his second fall season for BRHS, had not been sure how strong the team would be after losing four seniors. The abundance of freshmen well compensated for the loss. The Coach said, our team has proved to be very strong. I feel that the future should be much stronger with such a young team. Coach Priest received many calls from coaches wanting the opportunity to play Broad Ripple. Teams such as Co- lombus North, Colombus East, and Brebeuf had the op- portunity to play Broad Rip- ple, but other teams were WITH A strong display of emotion, Jeff Feltner, senior fullback, rushes down the field as he tries to make an offensive rush toward the goal. turned down because of a busy schedule. The team had strong per- formances, helped by fans that were always there to sup- port the Rockets. Walter Wynn, senior halfback, said, Even when our team started to let down, I could still feel the fan spirit that made me work even harder. As the team prepared for the state tournament, its goal was that each player give his all and, at the same time, have a good time. The coach felt the team had a competitive chance. Wes Priest, sophomore, said, If we work as a team and think about the things we ' ve done all season, our competitors will have to give 200 percent to beat us.

Despite the abundance of spirit, the season proved to be disappointing, as the varsity team ended with a 2-16 re- cord. Coach Verplank felt the season had its positive as- pects, though, as she com- mented, The underclassmen were encouraging. If these girls stay with us and contin- ue to improve, we will be a team to contend with. Besides the upcoming tal- ent of the underclassmen, the team had its share of talented upperclassmen. Kimberly Bluitt, senior, proved to be the stabilizer of the team, as she was the team leader. Coach Verplank also felt Kim John- son, senior, showed the desire to play, as she always gave 200 percent. The future for this team seemed to be promising with the experience gained from the past and the aid of sum- mer programs. The JV team also had a bit of a rocky season with a re- cord of 4-11. The team was lead by Coach Debbie Renie. The team consisted of 50 percent freshmen, producing a great deal of inexperience; but for future teams it could mean success.

A bigger accomplish- ment came when the team qualified for the City in 12 events. Because of graduation losses the boy ' s track team did not have a strong season. Thurman Montgomery, senior, said of the season, The team remained fairly consistent. We didn ' t make any great improvements, but we didn ' t get worse. Throughout the fall the girls ' cross-country team ran successfully. Valencia Jameson, sopho- more, led the team with first- place finishes in all meets. Number-one runner Wes Priest, sophomore, said of the boys ' team, With hard work and determination, we can compete with the best in the city. Track 39 Individual play highlights Tennis The boys ' tennis team had a season marked with victories. Leading the team to victory was Keld Borup Kristiansen. Keld was a respected young player in his native Denmark before he came to study at Broad Ripple for a year. Keld beat Indianapolis city champ Art Boyle in a 6-1, 6-0 match. Keld ' s game truly in- spired the other players. David Harris, freshman, summed up the team ' s spirit by saying, It ' s fun to play on a winning team! Ripple ' s number-two dou- bles team, Charlie Schegel, freshman, and Andrew Smith, sophomore, made it to the city finals, only to suffer an upset in its final match. Number-three singles play- er, Jay Vahle, senior, played in the semi-finals after beat- ing the top-seeded player. The girls ' tennis team also had a winning season as Cin- dy Bubenzer beat the top- seeded singles player. She later went on to the city fin- als.

The girls continually lowered their scores, which helped their individual stand- ings. The team definitely improved this year with the help and spirit of the new freshmen, said Amy Essen- berg, senior. Looking to the future, Mrs. Sandra Fenstermaker, girls ' golf coach, said, In the sum- mer of 1985 our golfers plan to play the golf that they didn ' t get to play during the school year.

Crisl Future looking brighter for Wrestling The 1984-85 wrestling team tumbled its way through an- other season; the varsity and junior varsity teams ended their seasons with good re- cords. The varsity team was coached by John Tremain. Considering our inexperi- ence, I was pleased with our 6-6 record, said the new head coach. Inexperience proved to be a big factor in the outcome of the season, as three freshmen and four sophomores wres- tled varsity. A real strength to the team, though, was Robert Beaman, junior, who placed second in the varsity city tournament. Coach Tremain felt it would take a great deal of hard work and dedication be- fore Broad Ripple would again have an excellent varsi- ty program, but Tremain voiced confidence in estab- lishing a strong program in the near future. The junior varsity team, guided by first-year coach Tim Brown, had a very suc- cessful season with a record of 10-2. The team also fin- ished third among 15 teams in the city tournament. Coach Brown commented, We were trying to establish ourselves as a respectable team this year, and I think we did exact- ly that. The only weakness Coach Brown felt the team had was the lack of experience, but he felt because of the more than 40 boys he had to mold the team from, the strength of the team more than made up for inexperience.

Crist Wrestling 45 Teams progress with season in Boys ' basketball The 1984-85 boys ' basket- ball season displayed the pride of Broad Ripple High School. The varsity team showed a strong season with a record of 11-10. Coach William Smith was very pleased with the squad ' s progress. The group slowly developed into a strong team as the latter part of the season showed much improvement, said Coach Smith. Inexperience played a part in the slow development of the team, but with each game, experience was gained by the players. Among ' the outstanding in- dividuals on the team, the one that displayed the characteris- tics of a great basketball play- er was Mark Lenoir, junior. Lenoir was the leading re- bounder and percentage free- throw shooter on the team. He was also the leading scorer in the city and 10th in the state. The latter part of the season was greatly affected by the in- jury to Lenoir ' s foot, as the Rockets were knocked off by Lawrence Central in the sec- tional. The JV team experienced a very progressive season. The latter part of their season greatly improved as they fin- ished the season with a 12-9 record. The freshmen team exper- ienced a bad year with a re- cord of 4-11. Much of this was due to the ineligibility of many players due to injuries and grades. With many in- coming freshmen, though, the future of the team can more than make up for one bad season. (Greg Russell) S.

Brown Coach Tom Verplank was correct in predicting that in 1984-85 Broad Ripple would put a strong girls ' varsity bas- ketball team onto the floor. Especially important in leading the girls to their 11-8 season was Gena Stubbs, who with a 25.7 points-per-game average ranked fourth in the state, second in the city. The Rocket schedule was an especially hard one for the Ripplites, but it provided plenty of experience for the underclassmen. Stubbs and Natalie Turner, senior, produced outstanding performances throughout the season. Sophomores Katrice Brittain, Tara Spicer, and De- lores Summers, making marked improvements, could be expected to be seen leading the Rockets in their 1985-86 season. Though only a freshman, Bev Jones started all season. Jones was often joined in var- sity play by classmates Judy Cassell, Susan Moffatt, and Michelle Price. But it remained for Gena Stubbs to put BRHS in the limelight as she was named to the All-City Team for the sec- ond time. Hoosier Basketball magazine also named her to its all-state squad for 1984-85, and she held practically every game, season, and career bas- ketball record for Broad Rip- ple girls. She had become part of a long tradition as she joined the line of many excellent basketball players to come from Broad Ripple. Northern Illinois University won her for its basketball program. With Stubbs and Turner gone, the Rockets would lose some of its might, but Gilbert would be returning to help take up the slack.

Baseball The 1984 BRHS baseball team could boast of its first winning season in 20 years. The varsity team improved its record from the previous year. Our team ' s hitting seems to be gradually im- proving as the season pro- gresses, Pete Young, senior third baseman, said. One of the most noticeable improvements was the team ' s defensive play. As the squad gained more experience, er- rors decreased. I think that our errors ear- ly in the season can be par- tially blamed on a lack of a practice field, Charles Cobb, senior, said. As the BR defense im- proved, the team pulled to- gether to gain a victory sea- son. But it ' s not (always) whether you win or lose; it ' s how you play the game. Such an old adage! But it held true in the case of the 1984 girls ' softball team. The BRHS team did not win many games, but the girls did play well. Through- out the season they were com- plimented by coaches of op- posing teams for their good game and excellent attitude. New coach Rick Brown helped the girls to improve their play. He taught them the rules of the game as well as the fun of playing it. We came a long way and had a tremendous amount of team spirit, which led us to an improved record, Alison Fenstermaker, junior, said. Coach Brown added his praise: The team was the most tremendous group of young ladies I have ever worked with.

The committees often meet to dis- cuss their progress and to look for new ideas. I Activity was something that Broad Ripple had in abundance. Ripple was bursting at the seams with clubs, organizations, and activities. After-school time was spent doing service projects, planning future school activi- ties, rehearsing with the band, practicing ROTC drill routines, meeting publications ' deadlines, or learning new cheerleading rou- tines. Due to the fact that Ripple was a public school and classes were so diverse, Ripple was able to offer students a broad spectrum of activities to chose from. Clubs ranging from drama to spirit allowed students a chance to display their talents and contribute to the school and community. Clubs took up much of many Ripplites ' after-school free time. Self-satisfaction, grati- tude, and just plain fun were some of the benefits reaped by students through after- school activities. The never-ending develop- ment of new clubs that served the individual- ity of Ripple students made Ripple unique. Beneath the surface of the common heading of extra-curricular activities, Ripplites knew that they would find . . .

Activities 59 Leaders abound at BR Ripplites were commended for their ability to act respon- sibly and lead other pupils ef- fectively. And at Broad Ripple pupils were graced with sev- eral opportunities to gain ex- perience as future leaders. In the fall and the spring of each year, pupils were able to go on a week-long leadership retreat to Bradford Woods, where they participated in several activities that were de- signed to highten their lead- ership awareness. I think the leadership re- treat really helped me to ce- ment what it is to be a leader in the community, Laura Durrett, junior, said. The major part of pupils ' leadership often fell to stu- dent government. Composed of three parts — Senior Cabi- net, Junior Cabinet, and Stu- dent Council — pupils met regularly to decide upon is- sues that affected the entire Broad Ripple student body. The Junior Cabinet planned the Junior-Senior Prom; the Senior Cabinet sponsored the Senior Moth- ers ' Tea and served as a liai- son between the Senior Class and Prin. Donald Glenn; and the Student Council sought to improve school spirit and co- ordinated Homecoming festi- vites. But not all Ripplites lead in a political way. Some led aca- demically. The National Honor Soci- ety sought to honor those stu- dents who had maintained 6.0 grade-point averages and had exhibited leadership skills. Although composed primar- ily of pupils who had been nominated to join their junior year, a select few were nomin- ated at the end of their sopho- more year. No matter in what capactiy, Ripple ' s leaders set example for the school and the com- munity to follow. (Ansley Valentine) ADDING CANS to the enormous pile.

Jennifer Cooreman junior M. Crist Rippilites volunteer in the community Volunteering makes me feel good, Jena Cooreman, junior, said. People are so nice to you. Cooreman was a member of Key Club, one of the many organizations at Broad Ripple that provided an opportunity for students to help in the community. In the 1984-85 school year, Key Club made a remarkable comeback. The club was dead. Beth Buddenbaum and I were really the only two members left. said Michelle Sanner, Key Club president. We knew we had to do something. And they did. Key Club grew to 40 members in a matter of weeks. Orange Aid was a volunteer club that was aimed at help- ing the school. Through Or- ange Aid, students saw direct results as they helped other students. One of the most important activities was the Freshman Tea. When you see all of the new freshmen come in, they look so lost. John Allen, ju- nior, said. But, by the end of freshmen orientation, they look like they know what they are doing. American Field Service (AFS) was another way that students could get involved with new students. These students come to Broad Rip- ple not knowing what to do. HELPING A confused freshman, Doug Emmons, junior, points Mi- chael Rodman to his next class. said Gwen Davies, junior. Not only do they have to get used to our school system but our whole culture. It ' s diffi- cult, but fun. As the students learned about different people and their thoughts, ethics, and li- festyles through the many humanities courses offered by the Center for Humanities, they helped improve the pro- gram by their input in the Humanities Advisory Coun- cil. The Council, with nearly 40 members, improved the qual- ity of learning. It is vital to have student input in a pro- gram that is as tailored to the individual as humanities is, Steve Galloway, senior, said. While smaller, the Center for the Performing Arts Council was even more cen- tered on the individual divi- sions. Performing Arts Council is not so much a support group, Mr. David Neigh- bors, theatre teacher said. It ' s here to help us attract new students, find new ways to get money, and give us feedback on the program. As a students in these ser- vice activities volunteered their time to help others, they were also learning important skills for everyday life. (Debby Harris) S. Brooke Service o3 Students prepare for jobs In Broad Ripple ' s tradition of preparing Ripplites for the future through after-school activities, two clubs in the business department stood out as giving Ripplites the rest of the story about the real world. Marketing and Distribu- tive Education (DE) was the program of study for about 130 Broad Ripple students. DE was a two-year program about the distribution of goods and services to the con- sumer. As a junior in the pro- gram, students prepared for work by studying how a retail store operates. The DE students worked about 20 hours per week learning through practical ex- perience. In DECA activities, Ripplites competed with oth- er area students. As always, Broad Ripple managed to ex- cel. In the Intensive Office Lab (IOL), students learned to work with word processors, various kinds of typewriters, photo copying machines, dic- taphones, and several other types of business equipment. What set this group apart from any other business class was that students worked in a simulated office here at Broad Ripple. Laura Long, senior, said, IOL has given me training to develop my skills in the busi- ness world. I am really glad that I was able to participate. 1 feel that I am better prepared for the future. (Ansley Val- entine and Jody Diekman) LEARNING ABOUT the use of a word processor, Liz Black, senior, puzzles over the new equipment. COPING WITH machinery prob- lems often falls to the secretary.

McCawley USING EXPERT strategy, Todd Jackson, junior, defeats his opponent at chess. New clubs cater to student interests pt v - %. m Broad Ripple was known for always providing Rip- plites with a variety of activi- ties in which they could par- ticipate. No matter what the interests, Broad Ripple prob- ably had a club or class for it. One such club was the Future Problem Solvers. The Future Problem Solv- ers was a club that brain- stormed about problems which were given them about certain situations. Michael Record, junior, said he joined the club be- cause of the enthusiasm of (my) friends already in the club. Future Problem Solvers was like no other club at Broad Ripple. The members actually tried to find solutions to some of the problems faced by soci- ety. Members of this club used mind power instead of athletic abilities. The Broad Ripple Chess Club was a returning addition to the clubs at Broad Ripple in 1984-85. Open to any stu- dent, beginning or advanced, the club was sponsored and coached by Mr. Bill Parrish, Young Life staff representa- tive who worked with the na- tional championship team from School 27. Todd Jackson, junior, said, The reason I enjoyed the Chess Club so much was that it gave me an opportunity to do what I really enjoyed, and that was playing chess. Also among the new special interest clubs that appeared at Broad Ripple was the Bike Club. Sponsored by Miss Phyllis Todd, the bikers had the opportunity to race at the Velodrome. Sophomore Eric Ward said, I joined the Bike Club be- cause I like to race, and I just bought a new racing bike! No matter what the inter- est, Ripplites always seemed to find their niche in after- school activities that gave them an outlet for their spe- cial abilities and interests. (Tina Siddle) ■ .-_■ • PREPARING FOR another race, Benson Hardy, senior, does the final check of his bike.

Special Interests 67 ' ROTC is not what everyone thinks. The opinion of ROTC is plain marching and wearing a ' monkey suit It ' s much more. ROTC develops an individual ' s moral standards. — Virgil Balvin junior ROTC not all drilling and marching The many benefits of the Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps program (J ROTC) were unknown to many Ripplites. The pro- gram, first offered during the 1946-47 school year, had grown so that 212 pupils — 13 percent of the student body were enrolled in 1984-85. Girls seemed to have been just as interested as boys; they represented 43 percent of the ROTC pupils. The 1984-85 corps was or- ganized into a battalion with two companies, a color guard, two drill teams, and a rifle team. It participated in the Veteran ' s Day Parade, the Homecoming Parade, and other school functions. ROTC is not what every- one thinks, Virgil Balvin, ju- nior, said. The public opin- ion of ROTC is plain march- ing and wearing a ' monkey suit. ' It is much more. ROTC develops an individual ' s mor- al standards and character. I have seen people come and go. The people who stay develop into strong, willing, and eager individuals. Doretha Yelladay, senior, said, You learn to take pride in what you are and what you stand for.

Not only is it outward, it is inward, too. Ripple students truly care about the school. That makes BRHS number l! — Susannah Grimes senior Ripplites show pride in different ways Homecoming week at BRHS sparked a spirit of en- thusiasm that reflected on the kind of school that Broad Ripple really was. But in the weeks following, pupils and faculty had found themselves in the doldrums again. Many pupils were proud of their school and wanted to find ways to maintain school spirit throughout the year. But many pupils complained that there was nothing to do at Broad Ripple. Mario Rose, junior, disa- greed. The clubs and activi- ties are offered, but the stu- dents don ' t take advantage of them. We need to have the stu- dents aware of everything that is going on at our school, such as games and shows, Laura Durrett, junior, said. Laurie Walters, junior, sug- gested that a weekly bulletin of all school activities be dis- tributed. Charmelitta Goens, junior, said, I feel that many stu- dents do have a lot of pride and spirit for our school; if given a chance, they would show it more. Showing pride may just mean telling friends about the good aspects at BRHS, James Miles, freshman, said. No matter how it was shown, there was spirit at BRHS. Susannah Grimes, senior, said, Ripple students care about the school, and that makes BRHS number one! (Jeri Lamkin) SPIRIT ABOUNDS when Ripplites have an opportunity to get rowdy about BRHS.

Brooke Language clubs aid learning, offer fun Studying a foreign lan- guage was a major part of many Ripplites ' lives ... in and out of the classroom. For some this meant staying after school several times a month to help in the organization of a foreign language club. The four Broad Ripple clubs — Latin Club, German Club, French Club, and Span- ish Club — all had exciting activities during the 1984-85 school year, but their main objective was conversation. There was a significant dif- ference between knowing a language through classwork and using a language through experience. Actual conversa- tion helped to sharpen skills such as fluency, pronunci- ation, and comprehension of modern-day idioms. Many of these areas were difficult to practice within the first few years of language study, when the emphasis was on grammar, conjuga- tions, meanings, and transla- tions. French Club sponsor Ma- dame Christine Moulton, re- turning from maternity leave, began what she called a con- versation club. This was an additional organization de- signed for speaking, learning . . . and eating. In early February the four clubs ventured out for their annual ski trip, to Ski World in 1985, and a day of fun in the snow. Participants includ- ed not only members, but their faculty sponsors as well. Again booths filled with food and crafts were present- ed at the International Festi- val. While supervised by sponsors, they were run by the students. Broad Ripple ' s students of foreign languages demon- strated their love for their special study with their vol- unteer participation in these and other out-of-class activi- ties.

As the school year came to an end, many Ripplites began to make plans for summer va- cations; but for 25 of Miss Karen Beck ' s Spanish stu- dents, plans had been made for a long time. Departing June 30, the stu- dents were to spend 15 days touring several Spanish cities including Madrid, Toledo, Se- govia, Cordoba, and towns on the Costa del Sol. They will also visit many museums, castles, restaurants, and his- toric sites. IT K Jf ■ .

The 1984-85 stage crew had STAGE CREW helps out with all of the Broad Ripple School productions. Oliver Morris, junior, works with the light board during rehearsal. to work against this bad im- age to let Ripplites know the true story about stage crew. The Broad Ripple stage crew had been around since before 1950. Later the stage crew joined Brothers and Mu- tual Friends (BMF), a high school stage crew organiza- tion that other schools, like Ben Davis High School, also belonged to. Greg Johnson, junior, said, It ' s true that in the past a few stage crew members did harm to Broad Ripple product ions, but the loyal and faithful members worked to make the (stage) crew the most respon- sible crew it could be. Doug Johnson, sophomore, said, There ' s a lot more to stage crew than people think. We work just as hard as the actors do on stage. It ' s not easy moving a 150-pound platform around. Greg Johnson said that, un- like a lot of past crew mem- bers, he took his job seriously and strived to take the best care of the stage that he was able. Working backstage means a lot to me. When something means a lot to you, you take care of it. In the spring of 1984, the stage received a few of the much needed repairs, with more on the way. Plans for the future included enlarging 1 the orchestra pit, replacing auditorium seating, and add- ing extra lighting equipment. Doug Johnson closed with Gee, I hope whoever comes after us (on the stage crew) takes as good of care of this stage as we have. (Ansley Valentine) M. Crist Drama groups playing to varied audiences Appearing in school pro- ductions was a favorite pas- time of many Ripplites in 1984-85, though many outside of the drama program did not know that Broad Ripple was considered to have one of the top drama programs in the state by the State Thespian Society. The drama clubs at Ripple — Masque and Mime, Thes- pians, and the Off Broad Rip- ple Company — were a few of the first clubs to go into ac- tion. The Masque and Mime So- ciety held One Acts auditions the second week of school. Mrs. Dolly Davis, drama sponsor, said, We had stand- ing room only on the second night (of the performance). It was a first for One Acts! The Thespian Society high- lighted its activities with a trip to the Indiana State Thes- pian Conference in New Al- bany.

Mason King was editor of the bi-weekly newspaper. Both editors did excellent jobs planning, organizing, and di- recting the publications. Though this wasn ' t an easy job, with overall supervision by James Ray, publications adviser, the process ran smoothly.

O Vocal Music ■ ' ' Music students are generally more creative, more individualistic, and a very affectionate group ' — — Mrs. Lucinda Paul Music Department chairman S. McCawley SINGING IN a vocal music mini- course, Shelly Bartlett, sophomore, makes time in her schedule to pursue her interest in singing. CAROLING ON the Circle, BR stu- dents in Varsity Singers entertain downtown shoppers. Choir students often participated in programs in the community. Vocalists display abilities Walking down the hall- ways of Broad Ripple High School one might have heard a sound similar to angels singing. Actually, they were our own Broad Ripple stu- dents. Ripple had an excellent vo- cal music department. The classes offered were Golden Singers, Varsity Singers, Vo- cal Ensemble, and Madrigals. Their repertoire ranged from contemporary to classical. Madrigals, an a cappella group performed songs of the Renaissance Period. In addi- tion to the fourth annual BRHS Madrigal Dinner, the group also performed at many area churches. In addition to their usual performances, Madrigals were invited to perform for the Board of School Commissioners. And the list went on! One of the highlights of the year was caroling on Monu- ment Circle. All music de- partment students got a chance to participate. Christmas is always our businest season, but I always look forward to it, explained Alexia Oaks, junior. The Girls ' Ensemble, Boys ' Ensemble, and the Madrigals all were first-place winners in both the city and state con- tests. Erin Deemer, junior, stated, It just shows that hard work really pays off. To many Ripplites, hard work meant good times and a vocal quality that could be ap- preciated by any person for- tunate enough to be nearby when BR started to sing. (Jeannie Kaplan) Vocal Music 79 Bands keep BRHS moving to the beat Whether won or lost, Broad Ripple football and basket- ball games were always pepped up by the lively rhythms of the Jazz Band. Most of the band members agreed that they had much fun doing the halftime shows. The band started practicing with its approximately 40 new freshman members in July to get ready for the 1984-85 school year. Because the play- ers got to know one another through their many practices, contests, and trips, the band was like a big family, Joan Hern, sophomore, said. We were always together. After the best Broad Ripple placing ever in the competi- tion at the Indiana State Fair, Drum Major James Briscoe, junior, remembered, We (band members) jumped up and down, danced all over and rejoiced big time. Under the guidance of Mr. Rudolph Finnell, instrumen- tal music instructor, the band marched through many per- formances such as the Maple- ton Fall Creek Parade, the Veterans ' Day Parade, and the Shriners ' Day Parade. The band gained high ap- preciation because of its high ratings in contests at Green- field, Howe, and Ben Davis High Schools. Sherman Stephens, senior, said that when the band won any important contest, a sense of pride was felt throughout the while band. Whether tooting their horns or pounding their drums, the Broad Ripple bands kept in tune with the rest of the story.

CLAPPING THEIR hands and stomping their feet, stu- dents found that by incorpo- rating fun and education learning was easier and more interesting. TWO YEARS of math and science is now required for graduation. Mrs. Sally Hack, voted BR teacher of the year, teaches some of these re- quired classes, including Al- gebra I— II. WHAT A lemon! exclaims junior John McClendon. The 19th Century America class participates in a writing class with author Barbara Shoup. This assignment — to de- scribe the lemon in detail — seems to have been side- tracked. I Public schools were often thought of as an out ... a way around working for an edu- cation. The view of too many was that all one had to do at a public school was attend classes with some regularity, turn in homework pa- pers occasionally, pass infrequent tests, and march up the aisle to collect ceremonial certifi- cate of graduation. Broad Ripple had been no exception to this line of thinking. Easy classes, easy teachers, and easy A ' s was how the public school sys- tem was perceived by some people. Broad Ripple has a reputation for being easy, ob- served Jeri Lamkin, junior. But reputation and fact were two very dif- ferent things at Ripple. Performing Arts, Hu- manities, college-level and vocational-prep- aration courses, and the planetarium were all advantages Ripple students were offered. These classes further enriched the Broad Rip- ple academics — auto mechanics to calculus — by offering students a uniquely broad curricu- lum. Other special programs, such as DE, ROTC, and Walk- About, gave students a chance to experience life-after-high school. DE is a good experience for our age group and a good way to learn about the job market, Michelle Jackson, senior said. Talented, interested teachers made learning meaningful. BR teachers care about educa- tion and make students feel comfortable, Fe- licia Lambert, senior, said. With the enforcement of tougher gradu- ation requirements, a heavier study load, and time-on-task, Ripple excelled in academics. We were moving on, moving up, and waiting for the world to watch because . . . (Beth Buddenbaum) Ac.idemics o3 A SECOND year of lab science is among the new requirements. Liza Miller, junior, fills her requirement with a chemistry class. EVEN FOR those not required to take computer literacy, computer class en- rollments are rising. Shannon Lewis, sophomore, runs her program as Mrs. Barbara Henderson, computer math teach er, looks on. S. Brooke Rockets take time-on-task to task Time-on-task. Meant to maintain a bal- ance in the time students spent in classes, the contro- versial requirement touched all at Broad Ripple, particu- larly those in performing groups. The most dramatic limita- tions were hours taken from classrooms for all-school pro- grams, field trips, out-of- school performances, and ear- ly athletics. Students who felt directly affected by the limitation spoke out. Jason Little, senior, said, I think time-on-task did more harm than good. Vocal groups are about per- forming. How are we to learn about performance when our number of shows is being monitored? Parastoo Behroozi, senior, felt that performing groups should be allowed to leave school on occasion. Perform- ing in itself is an educational experience. Also unhappy was Mark Lacy, senior. In past years, we (OBRC) have had, on an average, a show each week. Now it is less. Time-on-task hurts. Susan Burns, senior, felt that students should have been trusted with the respon- sibility of keeping in line. As long as those students make up missed classwork, they should not be deprived of their valuable out-of-class experiences. Seniors were not the only students affected by the time- on-task requirement, but, as 1984-85 was their final year to perform with Broad Ripple groups, they felt the rule and resented its impact. They wondered why they should not have the opportu- nity to experience as much as they could while they still had time. (Jenny Nash) o4 Changes in Education Trends Changes affect all at BR In 1984-85 Broad Ripple High School accepted the challenge facing Ameri can education to design a specific and practical plan for excel- lence in education. An extended day was one of many changes at BRHS. Oth- er changes included more testing for pu- all-school pro- other distrac- tions from the students ' edu- cation and elimination of ear- ly graduations — except where students had to work for their families. In previous years gradu- ation requirements had been more lenient. In 1984 the Class of 1988 was facing four years of language arts, two years of math, two years of lab science, and computer In- competency pils, fewer grams and S. Brooke eracy among the 38 credits needed for graduation. More parents also began getting more involved with their children ' s education and urged their children to take meaningful classes. We worked hard with all of those persons who had stakes in the future of our schools: parents, researchers, educa- tors, legislators, politicians, federal policy-makers, busi- nessmen, industrialists, and labor leaders. And, of course, our teachers and classmates. Plans for tomorrow ' s schools were being grounded in 1984-85 ' s reality. The fu- ture was being shaped by steps America ' s schools were taking. (Lisa Hood) FRESHMAN SCHEDULES reflect the educational changes. Many Broad Ripple freshmen are taking more aca- demically oriented classes. Changes in Education o5 Learning goes in different directions What were the chances of some Ripplite discovering something had his teacher not mentioned it? At Broad Ripple his chances were pretty good. Broad Ripple took pride in its fine teaching staff and pupils ' ability to ask probing ques- tions. Most Ripplites polled felt that the humanities, perform- ing arts, and other special classes contributed most to S. Brooke their growth. Eric Jackson, freshman, said, Man and so- ciety has helped me under- stand about other cultures and religions. Susan Burns, senior, said, I have adored my exper- iences in both the humanities and the music department. I ' ve grown a lot creatively and emotionally through these courses due to the dynamic, caring teachers. Mrs. Barb Shoup ' s writing course helped me, not only with my writing abilities, but as a person getting in touch with myself, Jason Little, senior, said. Jean Childers, junior, said, I have had a wonderful ex- perience with David Neigh- bors in the Center for Per- forming Arts theatre classes. The classes are small, so I ' ve gotten lots of individual at- tention in work on my weak performance skills. I ' ve loved every minute of hard work! OBRC provides a good break in the day from my aca- demic classes, Paul Ellis, ju- nior said. I ' ve discovered a part of me that I never knew existed. (Ansley Valentine) DISCOVERING ABOUT the music of the pioneers, Jenny Nash, Erin Deemer, Gretchen Fledderjohn, and Jena Cooreman, juniors, sing during the 19th century America craft fair. 86 Discovery Discovery Ripplites find new worlds Broad Ripple pupils often found that when they walked into the classroom, they were in for a surprise: the teacher was going to teach something new. Ripplites were fortunate to have many classes that were outside their realm of every- day experiences. Ripplites were able to stretch their minds and discover some- thing new. With expanding computer facilities, BR began to offer computer literacy classes to more pupils. In addition to these basic classes, the school continued to offer computer math to more advanced pu- pils. Unknown to may Rip- plites, the planetarium served astronomy classes. An obser- vatory differs from a plan- etarium in that an observa- tory has a telescope for actual viewing of planets and stars. REVEALING THE secrets of outer space, Mr. Richard Brown teaches his astronomy class about the cosmos, quasars, and black holes in the Broad Ripple planetarium. The BR planetarium simply projected images of stars and satellites on the domed ceil- ing to simulate the night sky. Ripplites were also able to take advanced science course like physics and chemistry. These two courses helped Ripplites find out about the laws of motion and what hap- pens when carbon and oxy- gen are mixed. In the math department pu- pils could study not only ba- sic math, but could study more difficult mathematics like calculus and advanced math. These courses were fa- vored by pupils planning to become engineers and com- puter programmers. Foreign language courses also helped Ripplites discover something about the cultures of other people. BR offered French, Spanish, German and Latin. Broad Ripple pupils were fortunate to have a wide vari- ety of places and courses where pupils could discover something about the world around them. (Ansley Valen- tine) Discovery o7 Tests Grades spur ' preparation ' When it came to take tests, most Broad Ripple students were ready . . . while some others proceeded to tear their cheat sheets and conceal them from unsuspecting teachers. There are no benefits from cheating on a test, said Adri- an Garrett, junior. You are only cheating yourself in the long run. Problems with cheating brought concern not only from students, but also from teachers. Mrs. Doris Young, teacher of English, said, There is a prevailing attitude that cheating is desirable and appropriate. There seems to be a moral gap between what I consider a test should do and what the students think. Most teachers just tried to prevent students from cheat- ing. Mr. Richard Brown, sci- ence teacher, said he seated students in every other seat for a test. Mrs. Young, on the other hand, gave tests that THOUGH AIDED by a calculator, Ted Siddle, sophomore, still has a bit of trouble with his chemistry test. were difficult to copy, i.e. identification, short answer, and essay. If the individual student still managed to cheat, Mr. Brown would automatically change the score to zero, but first he would discuss the sit- uation with the student. Each subject required some form of testing, but the objec- tives varied from course to course. Mr. Maurice Huckle- berry, social studies teacher, felt the his principal objective was to measure achievement of vocabulary and general in- formation. Mr. Clyde Hochstedler, math department chairman, said his main objective when giving a test was to evaluate the knowledge the students had acquired in math. Of the struggle for grades, Miss Nancy Vinton, career counselor, said, Good grades don ' t always indicate how much has been learned ... or taught. That was difficult to remember, however, when grade-card day came. (Lisa Hood) OO Tests A MAJOR concern for juniors and seniors is the Standard Achievement Test. Paul Reehling, junior, tries to prepare by studying from an SAT tips book. NOT ALL tests are alike. Laura Burch, junior, completes a map test in her 19th century America class. S Brooke ' If I try hard, I can fail it ' Flunking a test. It was a possibility dreaded by many, even laughed at by some. It could be a tragedy or a joke. Chances were most Rip- plites saw a test one big red F slashed across one of their tests. But consider this: How much effort did it really take to flunk a test? It probably was not as easy as one might think. Here are some guide- lines we used to flunk our tests: (1) During the week before the test, we stayed up late so we could fall asleep in class for the next few days. Then there was no way we could take notes. (2) We waited until the night before the test before we began to study. Then we picked up the Cable TV Guide and decided that the movie on HBO was one we just couldn ' t miss. We made some popcorn and enjoyed ourselves. It must be kept in mind that there were several differ- ent kinds of tests: (1) Essay: This was prob- ably the easiest test to flunk, especially if it was a question about a novel we were sup- posed to have read. First of all, we were at a disadvantage if we had read the book. We might have gotten credit for something we said, and these were unwanted points. We had to be sure to make no reference to the novel . . . at all! And we did not want to forget to use some sentence fragments. (2) Multiple Choice using Scantron answer sheet: These were surely the most fun. The artistic-pattern method was a good system to use . . . and fun! For this method all we needed to do was pick letters on our Scantron sheets and make designs. The more artis- tic, the better! Beware . . . Christmas trees and heart de- signs got boring. (3) True-False: These were, by far, the most difficult to flunk because there was a 50 50 chance we might get the answer correct. There cer- tainly was not a foolproof method for this test. Remem- ber, though, the rule here was that if we knew that answer was false, we had to mark true. If it was true, we must put false. If all else failed, we tried using all trues or all falses. With all these great, sure- fire suggestions, how could we miss the big red F ? (Marissa Honey) Tests 89 Real world Thanks to BR, there will be life after high school The question of what to do after high school was one on the minds of many Ripplites. For most, a career was very important, and the courses they took at Broad Ripple would be useful in the future. Though in theory all courses prepared students for the real world , some had more specific focuses than others. As college costs con- tinued to climb, many stu- dents realized just how bene- ficial these skills would be. For those going to work di- rectly after high school, the training was essential for many jobs. Courses such as data pro- cessing, filing, accounting, re- cordkeeping, typing, short- hand, and business law of- fered business training. The business courses that I am taking will help me with my future plans, said Ta- miko Leslie, junior. The world today, being highly technological and advanced, has a high demand for people with busin ess skills. The business classes will help me with the skills I will need for my career. The home economics de- partment offered courses in- cluding foods, clothing, fam- ily living, child development, family health, and needle art. Michelle Jackson, senior, said I took a foods class be- cause I love to eat and I know that the training in food prep- aration will help me when I have a family. In many industrial arts classes students could earn a vocational certificate after completing three years of the course. These certificates en- abled those students to enter their desired field at an ap- prentice level. I ' m planning on going into architecture or engineer- ing, said Greg Smith, senior. My drafting experience will definitely give me a headstart with what I want to do. (Marissa Honey) LEARNING BY experience, Lanita Owens, senior programs her comput- er during COE class. S. Brooke IM ■ 90 PRACTICE MAKES perfect. Freddie McMillian, sophomore, makes use of his woodworking skills. RACING WITH the clock, typing students strive to improve their speeds and accuracy. K ; Special program prepping printers The Broad Ripple print shop offered many services to the school and other non- profit organizations. The school newspaper and pro- grams were printed in the shop with students ' assis- tance. The shop provided graphic arts instruction for the indus- trial arts department and fa- milarized students with the workings of a print shop. The print shop also includ- ed vocational training in the afternoons to allow for the publications. Vocational training was available for stu- dents to learn on-job entry skills. The vocational training program, headed by Walter Mendel, allowed students to do work with assistance from the industrial arts teachers. The vocational program strove to prepare students for job entry level, in contrast to the industrial program which did not give students as much on-hand training. The pro- gram familiarized students with the way things would be ran in an outside world. The print shop was expect- ing a new computerized type setting machine which would enable students to set jobs on floppy disks that could be stored. The computer would come from the Service Center of Indianapolis Public schools. (Amy Essenberg) MM Real World 91 • MECHANICAL DRAWING is only one of many classes designed to teach while offering a creative outlet. Mar- cus Washington, senior uses his abil- ity as he draws plans with help from his textbook. Creativity unlimited at Broad Ripple L Creativity was felt to be a major part of the educational process by most Ripplites. Many found that they could be creative in many different classes. Art is my most creative class, Robin Woods, sopho- more, said. When you draw a picture, it is not only a piece of art, but a piece of art that was once just a picture in your mind. Jody Pope, sophomore, said, Critical thinking lets me think for myself and ex- press my opinions. When I do a theme, they (the teachers) grade me on creativity and how I express my views. I have really been able to express my ability, said Wil- liam Reaves, senior, to be creative through my English class. Writing papers for class always was a way to show my creativity. Mary Jane Noel also felt she could be creative in Eng- lish. I can be creative in Mrs. Constance Kirby ' s English Vg class. We do essays and projects where there is no right or wrong way to do the project. Assignments are left open to our choice of topic, she said. But not all creativity was in the art room or the English class. Some pupils found they could be creative in other classes. Shannon Lewis, soph- omore, found creativity in her computer math class. When I work (with com- puters), I can make perfect circles and straight lines. That ' s a lot for someone that can ' t draw at all. When pupils chose their elective classes, they some- times chose those classes that offered a break from their regular academic grind and provided a new kind of chal- lenge. Quest has let me show how creative I can be. I like to write a lot of poetry, and the best way that I can express my feelings is through poet- ry, said Monica Elmore, sophomore. Sarah Harvey, senior, said, My philosophy class at Indi- ana Central University (taken through the humanities pro- gram) is exceptional for cre- ativity. We (pupils) are en- couraged to come up with our own ideas on various thought processes and philosophies. It was evident that no Rip- plite could completely escape the creativity that abounds at Broad Ripple. (Ansley Valen- tine) Creativity Ripplites prove they are talented Creativity abounded at Broad Ripple. Students were offered classes that tested their creative genius daily. All students had the oppor- tunity to write, whether for themes or just creative fun. Writing was not only intellec- tual activity; it proved an emotional outlet for many students. Writing played an important part in education, just as writing would play an important part in the stu- dents ' future. Artists, though few in number, were teeming with talent. Showcases displayed the work of these gifted stu- dents. Projects ranging from painting to pottery filled the display cases. Vocal and instrumental music students were multi- talented. Music students not only sang or played, some even wrote their own music. Great creative opportuni- ties were offered to students who wanted to work with their hands. Mechanical skills were developed as many students chose to spend their time in the print shop, indus- trial arts room, or home eco- nomics lab. The diversity of course of- ferings gave students a chance to use their many dif - ferent creative talents in many different ways.

I have homework? ' S. Brooke Every parent knows that his son or daughter is not par- ticular about homework. What many do not realize is that there are many sons and daughters across the city who detest homework twice as much. Mike Moffatt, junior, said, It (homework) is something you get reminded about by your parents when you are watching TV. Homework and studying for tests are very similar to Dante ' s ' Inferno, ' a trip through Hell, Pam Res- nover, senior, said. Homework is something to do between weekends, Doug Johnson, sophomore, said. The radio is the only thing that gets me through home- work, Margaret Weichert, freshman, said. From time to time, every- one has a test to study for, but the methods vary greatly. For Becky Kriner, freshman, it becomes a group effort. To study for tests, usually one of my friends helps me by giving me the material and I answer back. Nick Zajac, sophomore, said, To memorize work for theatre class, I sit in a totally dark room and do my lines. Sue Phelps, junior, said, Studying for tests? That went out in the Stone Ages . . . didn ' t it? (Ansley Valen- tine) z7 ± Homework Study It can happen almost anytime It was a never-ending cycle — from school, to work, to his guitar lesson, to musical rehearsal. He found himself getting up late every morning because he had never gotten to sleep until late the night before. His books went everywhere with him, waiting for one pre- cious moment of his time. His German book was often open during a social studies film; the physics book usually re- ceived attention between cus- tomers at work; English was given a few spare moments on the bus; his computer math book was always open when he wasn ' t on stage at rehearsals. But he wasn ' t alone. Many Ripplites lived similar lives. Because of my crowded schedule I find myself doing my homework in a variety of locations, Luke Morehead, junior, said. I take my books everywhere I go. Despite this, I sometimes end up doing no homework at all! It ' s not that it ' s not impor- tant, it ' s just th at everything else is important, too, More- head added. Kelly Henn, junior, also knew the feeling. I often work right after school and don ' t get home until late. But I try to get it done as soon as possible. If there ' s time left at the end of the period, I get it done them. There are times when I feel like I ' m never home, said Joan Hern, sophomore. If I get the chance, I stay after school and get it done before I go home. The sooner it ' s done, the better. But busy schedules weren ' t the only reason students found doing homework diffi- cult. There are so many other distractions! said Pam Re- senover, senior. The tele- phone is always staring me in the face! TV is so much more inter- esting than homework, said Pam Person, freshman, so I watch a little TV, do home- wor k, and watch a little more TV. I get things done, but it makes them a heck of a lot more interesting! (Marissa Honey) S. Brooke SOMETIMES STUDYING at school is better than studying at home. John McClendon (standing) and Clarence Richardson, juniors, do some last- minute reviewing at their lockers. RESEARCH IS sometimes a neces- sary part of homework. Shannon Stone, sophomore, gathers informa- tion for her English term paper. Homework 5 RETURNING A serve Jason Luther, Freshman, plays ping-pong, only one game played in PE to promote phys- ical fitness. PRESSING WEIGHTS was an after- school activity that many Rockets like Sam Napier, freshman, took ad- vantage of. Future looks bright for PE at BRHS The decision had to be made. How could Broad Rip- ple High School best expand its athletic facilities? It was a tough question with many possible answers. Architects proposed building an entirely new gym that would seat 2500-3000 people. The space of the old gym was to be used for new classrooms and Me- dia Center. It was to be the most dra- matic part of the total renova- tion of Broad Ripple High School costing well over $10 million. The proposed gym created some controversy as it made it necessary to add land to the campus from the Hav- erford Street residential area. In addition to the gymnasi- um, the renovation plans in- cluded replacing the grand- stands at Diederich Field (football field), built in 1935. Also, outdoor restroom and locker facilities were in the plans. The football field was originally built on top of an old gravel pit, which helped with drainage after rainfall. The track and field area was the third main area targeted for change. Following a pre- dicted switch from English measure to metric by the IH- SAA in 1980, the BR track was considered obsolete be- cause it was still only 440 yards long. Proposed changes included widening the four-lane track to eight lanes, resurfacing it with all-weather rubber, and making it 400 meters long. With these proposed changes, BR could continue to produce healthy Rockets. (Mike Record) HEALTH IS also eating correctly, as Sheryl Hill and Brandon Hutchison, juniors, learn in their foods class. 96 Health Feelin ' good Health, happiness important Good health and physical fitness were important to ev- eryone. Broad Ripple stu- dents were no exception. Students were required to take one semester of health and two semesters of PE. The physical education classes gave students the skill and knowledge to compete in sports. Students learned about basketball, tennis, vol- leyball, football, and gymnas- tics. Lisa Fowler, sophomore, said I have benefitted from gym class because I love sports and exercise. I have lost a lot of weight since I started exercising in PE. said freshman, Benya Harper. She went on to say, In health I learned a lot about myself. Health classes taught stu- dents to improve their bodies by improving their minds. Students were exposed to many different healthy prac- tices. They learned about first aid, personal hygiene, parts of the body, specific diseases, and the dangers of drugs, to- bacco, and alcohol. Through taking health class, I ' ve learned how to take better care of myself in terms of exercise and eating. said Michelle Johnson, freshman. Michelle was not the only one who learned about herself. Many others felt the same way. I learned better health habits and how to take care of myself better. agreed Shan- non Jeffcoat, freshman. But better health was learned in classes other than PE and health. Throughout the curriculum Rockets were learning to be healthy, happy people in classes such as biol- ogy and foods. (Tina Siddle and Alysha Cohen) THE RESPIRATORY system is only one of the many systems in the body as Tia McClurry, sophomore, and Matt Buck, freshman, point out in their health class.

The troupe had a circle before each show to discuss problems in pieces and to give support. 98 Aibui PROVING THAT life does have its ups and downs, Steve Galloway and Sean Flora, sen- iors, exhibit their yo-yo ex- pertise at a football game. Diverse. That was the best word to de- scribe Broad Ripple students. From Vogue and Gentleman ' s Quarterly pin-ups to Cyndi Lauper look-alikes and ultra-punks, Ripplites donned their individuality each day. Students were unique at Ripple. They dressed and talked as themselves. Each was special. People are easily accepted at Ripple, Tif Luckenbill, senior, said. They are taken for what they are, not how popular or unpopu- lar they are. People here are really down-to- earth. I think that ' s special. Interests were as diverse as the students. ROTC officers, trumpet players, mathematical wizards, computer buffs, artist, dancers, sing- ers, actors, and athletes were housed under one roof . . . Broad Ripple High School. The plain, brown brick building may have seemed just another school to many, but they found something special once they looked . . .

Darryl Colbert and Lena Lindsay, seniors, look through the selection at one of the BR area record shops. ' usiness was booming on the Northside — including Broad Ripple Village. Economic hardship from the recession was coming to an end; the increase in business proved it. Along with the increase in patronage came new stores and businesses. The Vil- lage was becoming a healthy business community again. Stores dealing with ice cream to physical fitness could be found in the Village. The Broad Ripple community was enriched and enhanced by the presence of these newcomers. This surrounding al so made Broad Ripple High School special. Most important were those busin- esses that supported BR, that believed the rest of the story. The assistance they offered did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. It only gave a greater boost to the school and its students. These businesses were of special value to the school. Gratification was only a small bit of what Ripple owed them. If one were looking for a new bike, camera equipment, good food, that special haircut, or just some way to satisfy a sweet tooth, he knew where to look. He could look right here.

We began with an editor who knew nothing ex- cept photography and a sports editor who had never seen a layout. We were off to a good start. Was it that obvi- ous? Let ' s take a few mo- ments for reflection . . . Colophon Volume 60 of the Riparian yearbook was printed by Josten ' s American Year- book Company. Three hundred copies of the 156-page book were printed on snow white Gloss 191 stock with black ink. The cover design was staff designed. The cover was a redwood grain. The col- or of the cover was candlelight with for- est green (Green 345) silkscreen applied. The end sheets were Snow White 280. The book contained four pages of full- color and eight pages of second color. All two-point tool lines were set by Josten ' s. Palatino was selected for the type — 12 point for divider page body copy, 10 point for caption; 10 point for body copy in other sections, and 8 point for cap- tions. Art type was set in the Broad Rip- ple print shop. Good morning sunstein ... Erroll who? ... OK, Debby, it ' s like this, a pica is a little square . . .

Fancy meeting you here, Greg; It doesn ' t come out on paper ei- ther . . . It ' s in the typewriter, I promise . . . Shocking ex- periences in the darkroom. We muddled through man- gled pica poles, misshapened croppers, elaborate excuses, and the final deadline. Poor Mr. Ray caught publications phobia. But, through all of this, we got the book finished and sent it off.

T. he year had come to a close. It hadn ' t ended with something spectac- ular or out of the ordinary. It was just the end of another school year. For some the year had brought excitement. For others school was just a place that they had to go to every morning. But, for all, Broad Ripple was a place that we could call our own. No one left without making his mark, without leaving a reminder. Many would be back next year. But, for the seniors, the end of the year meant the end of high school. Four years had passed in the halls of Ripple. In less that three months, the halls would be alive again . . . this time with new voices. It was a continuous cycle. Out with the old, in with the new. Each new year brought something ex- citing to Ripple. It brought new spirit. Ripple was not like other schools. It was special. The diversity of the school and its students made Ripple stand out in the crowd. The hurdles that we had to face were by far greater than most other high schools. We had to prove ourselves. We had to show who we really were. When the last door was closed and locked and every- one had left for summer break, we left with a feeling of pride. We had proven that we were exceptional.
