We can work with a student who excels in Chemistry, while another is a Dickens scholar, another a movie trivia nut. another an excellent poet.

At the Senior Masquerade Party, over fifteen togas were worn, and at last count, seven toga parties were slated. Although athletics are primarily extra-curricular affairs. interest in the L.S.U. Tigers. S.U. Jaguars and teams as far flung as the Los Angelos Rams. Chicago Bears, and the Dallas Cowboys is fervent.
