What Is the EHS Experience? A Quest for Knowledge Of course, the EHS student's knowledge of trivia also makes for a well-rounded high school experience, so we posed this question to you ... Mister Rogers' first name is Roy Fred Ed Roger Mister Rogers has no first name As I may have mentioned before, there are always those unique individuals who feel the need to write in extra comments on question- naires. Andrew Davidson wrote by this question: I thought that was common knowledge. Well, Andrew, 320 EHS students might agree with your statement because they all checked Fred as Mister Rogers' first name. His name really is Fred Rogers. But unfortunately Andy, 320 kids does not the student body make. 170 people believe that Mister Rogers has no first name. 42 people believe that his first name is Roy. Sorry, folks, Roy Rogers was a cowboy and it is also the name of a restaurant that serves roast beef sandwiches — close but no cigar. 29 Episcopalites checked Roger as Mister Rogers' first name — Roger Rogers??? Oh, yes, and 39 people are suffering under the misconception that Mister Rogers first name is Ed — Mister Ed Rogers. I really don't think that wonderful childhood companion would appreciate being likened to a talking horse. So let's all give Fred an apology. Can you say, I'm sorry Fred? Sure, I knew you could. A Social Adventure Why don't we examine the social behavior of our student body, and see what that tells us. STUFF '84 asked y'all this question ... When do you bathe? Morning Night Once a week Never 200 Episcopal goers bathe in the morning, and 299 bathe at night. 91 bathe morning and night. (Of course, they are easy to spot on campus since their skin is permanently pruned.) 18 people wrote in other, whatever that means. And 22 people checked that they never take a bath. Can you believe that? I certainly can't. But, here is a little contest for you. If you can determine who the 22 people are who do not take baths (or at least want us to think they don't) you will win a lifetime supply of Ivory Soap. Here's a small hint: five of them are in the sixth grade (is that why we have a separate building for the Middle School?); two are seventh graders, four are in the eighth grade, one in the ninth, two in tenth, three in eleventh, and yes, one senior. Now, if you think that you have figured out who these people are please write down your answer and send it to: STUFF '84 P.O.Box 1984 Mexico City, Mexico The Police — EHS's favorite band. Their album Synchronici-ty bumped Michael Jackson's Thriller out of the 1 spot for a while this year. Many EHS students saw The Police when they were at the Centroplex Iasi fall. 116

Taste also plays an important role in the experience of high school. Whether we know it or not, we are all influenced by the taste of our friends. Not one weekend goes by that an Episcopal student does not indulge in the culinary delights of his or her desiring. (In layman's terms — we all like to pig-out.) But, have we ever stopped to examine our specific criteria as to what kind of food we consider good ? Well, in search of an answer to this question we asked you ... What is your favorite lunch menu? Needless to say, the majority of the student body picked the famous baked potato day as their favorite. But, the seniors all seemed to agree that their favorite lunch menu is We obviously have winning taste i n shoes. Photo by J. Hill. Seniors and juniors partake in a meal prepared by privately employed chefs. Photo by J. Hill A Question of Taste McDonald's. What insight does this give us as to the taste of our friends? To tell you the truth, not much. Now we can assume that our contemporaries are either obsessed with carbohydrates or that our parents are correct in their belief that our generation is nothing more than the product of fast foods. STUFF '84 also asked this question of taste ... What brand of tennis shoes do you wear? Perhaps there are a few at EHS who will contend that fashion plays an insignificant role in our lives, but in my opinion these people are even more fashion conscious because they spend all of their time trying to be unfashionable. (Did that make sense?) Anyway, 206 people at EHS wear Nike tennis shoes, and 139 people (predominately female) wear Tretorn. 72 people choose to wear Converse. Many other brands were represented, such as: Foot Joy, Puma, New Balance, Brooks, and Asahi. Two answers were so unique that they justified printing. In an attempt to protect the dignity of our fellow students, I will let the owners of these answers (and tennis shoes) remain nameless. One student prefers Generic tennis shoes, and another wears E.T. tennis shoes. (Ouch!) Now, I know you are all wondering What does this tell me about my friends? Unfortunately, it really only tells you what brand of tennis shoes your friends are wearing. O.K. so maybe this question wasn't as helpful as I had hoped. Let's move on. Can it be?

' The movie Risky Business was a hit at the box office in 1983, and star Tom Cruise wasa hit hereat EHS. Most of our female students would like to marry Tom, but Robert Redford's timeless appeal won him second place. Sorry, guys, we couldn't get a picture of Christi Brinkley. Experiencing Episcopal Do we here at EHS have proper respect for our leaders? 1 mean it is hard to have a good experience if you do not respect those that are in charge. Therefore, we asked this question... Who is Timothy Ehrlich? Founder of Scandinavia Inventor of the overhead projector Editor in chief of the ACCOLADE Starred in Ordinary People and Taps I must admit I was fairly proud of our student body. 356 people knew that Tim was the Editor-in-Chief of the ACCOLADE. 60 folks believed xhim to be the inventor of the overhead projector, 64 thought he founded Scandinavia, and 79 thought he was a star. Senior Kim Sindelar noted on her paper that Tim actually was the star of the EHS video, and Michelle Buck wrote that Tim was E.T. (I wonder what kind of tennis shoes she is wearing?) 63 people said they had no earthly idea who Tim was, 4 people didn't care and once again our decisiveness showed through with 9 people checking more than one answer. A first step in respecting your school leaders is to know who they are. Very good, kids! But, what about your answers to thisquestion... Father Ray most resembles Dudley Moore Yoda E.T. ‘ Paul McCartney Other It appears that a majority of the student body thinks that Father Ray resembles Yoda. 224 students to be exact. 127 people felt that Padre Ramundo looked more like Dudley Moore. 80 kids checked Paul McCartney, an understandable choice due to Father's musical ability. 75 of us picked E.T. as the closest Ray clone, but what really surprised me were the exceptionally strange answers put in the Other blank. Obviously, not every member of our student body is destined for stardom as a comedian. Proof of this lies in such witty answers as himself, Father Ray, and nobody. Commander Wirt got a holdofoneof the questionnaires and he wrote that Father Ray resembles Class; I like that answer. 4 people wrote that he resembles John Wayne. Now, I'm willing to admit that at first this may seem a ludicrous answer, but Father Ray does an excellent John Wayne impersonation. 4 other people think that Father Ray looks like Father Hancock. Quite a few of our students, however, wrote in, get this, Eddie Murphy. I'm not lying. Now, really folks, I certainly have a soft spot in my heart for the absurdities of life, but Eddie Murphy? Granted, Father Ray is a funny guy, but ... This answer has caught me so off guard that I am not even going to print the names of those individuals who wrote in this answer. Yoda isn't so bad, I mean Yoda was a great learned fellow. Dudley Moore isn't even offensive, but Eddie Murphy??!!! Please, this is a plea to the good will and common sense of our administration. We obviously need to crack down on mandatory eye examinations. We don't want to travel blindly through our Episcopal Experience. For those of us who will be leaving Episcopal this year, we hope that our time spent here will help us see more clearly in the future. But, for those who still have time left at EHS remember that there is a whole lot of STUFF going on here, and the best wat to have a good Episcopal Experience is to Experience Episcopal. 117
