' 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

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

Three Great Additions It's the Lord's Thing Victory Dances Alumni Reception A great number of changes were made at EHS this year. Among these changes was the addition of new activities that were so successful they may turn from additions to traditions. First was the Christmas cantata, It's the Lord's Thing. Mrs. Karen Kirchner was the musical director, and Mrs. Mildred Bonner helped with the staging and dialogue. This was Episcopal's first attempt at musical theater, and it was a hit. A second hit at EHS this year was the addition of victory dances. These dances were sponsored by the Squires and held in the cafetorium after two home football games. A third addition was tne Junior — Senior — Alumni Reception held in the library. All those who had graduated in the last two years were invited to come back and visit with the Classes of 1984 and 1985, staff, and faculty. The food was great, and the reception was fun. Alumni Robin Lynch and Meggie Dobson listen intently asMoffie Wall catches them up on the Episcopal scene. Photo by . Hill.
