The Good Times Made Better From the first day you enter E.P.C.H.S., your own personal student life begins. Everyone's life is different, yet we all have one trait in common. We are continuously growing and progressing with every little detail or happening we come in contact with. Whether it be traditional events like Homecoming, the play, or graduation, or maybe the more informal activities such as dances, eat- ing lunch, or co-ed P.E. These are all individual events that highlight your own personal student life. Except for those who were recovering from the first semester ond those who were preparing for the sec- ond time around, the semester dance provided a night of both fast dance and good music. Representing the iunior class, Jill Phillips accepts the trophy for their winning Homecoming float, marking one ofthe achievements of her class.
