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.

' 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
