Go Knights Middle School Cheerleaders Compliments Of MRS. HEBERT'S HOMEROOM ... A Special Thanks A- the final day , come to a close. I am given the chance to reflect back upon the past ten months used in putting together the twentieth volume of the Accolade. To tie together the theme of Making the Pieces Fit. artist Craig Routh created an incredible montage of EHS for the cover, with the ground plans lightly sketched in the background. To Craig Routh. a tremendous thanks, not only for doing such a wonderful job, but also for working for no set charge, only collecting a portion of the profits made from the sale of the prints. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the administration at EHS; to Mrs Smith, who helped create a journalism class, thus reducing hours spent working after school, to Ft. Hancock who was so supportive; to all of the faculty and staff that helped identify people, and whose comments and praises helped get me through the long summer days. A special thanks should be given to Kathy Brooks, our plant consultant; to Bill Myers, our local representative, whose help and understanding was unsurpassed, even when I bothered him at home; to all patrons whose financial support made this book possible; to Muscmechc Photography, who did endless developing, some even free of charge. Last of all. 1 would like to extend a great big thanks to my entire staff; to Mclisse. my assistant editor, who did not only all of her pages, but also everything and anything else that was asked of her; to Dawn, who did the faculty section, and who worked on extra pages, even when she should have been packing for summer school; to Kellie and Brian, the senior editors; to Susan, Aurelia. Jenny, Kristin, and Susannah, whose hard work was a big help this year, to all photographers, especially David, John, and Adam who took pictures often at last-minute notice; to Keeley — you are wonderful for everything; to Mrs. Kornegay, who shuffled numerous other responsibilities to help out in the summer; to Mark Stuckey, last year's editor, who juggled hours at work to help me frantically finish you will never know how wonderful you are for it. Most of all. I would like to thank Mrs. Hamilton, the best sponsor I could have asked for. whose dedication and hard work made all of the difference in the outcome of this book, and whose crazy disposition at times made it always fun and enjoyable. It has been a great year, a year filled with hard work and dcdiiation. Hying at times, but mo-t of all rewarding To everyone involved, thanks again for your help in Making the Pieces Fit.

From 12 Years To 1 Day, Seniors Countdown Till The End ... 12, 11, 10 ... It all started twelve years ago when little five and six year olas enrolled in their first day of school. As time progressed, ninety-two kids from all over the nation, all over the world, made it through elementary school, junior high, and part of nigh school to become Seniors at Episcopal High. ... 57, 56, 55 ... Finally, what they had all been waiting for now seemed within reach- graduation! The countdown till tne end of high school began after Mardi Gras vacation, though many people like Erin Earhart began as early as the start of second semester. For anyone who, for some strange reason, could not remember now many days, the current countdown was kept posted on Fr. Ray's board, Mrs. Bonner's board, and most people's notebooks. ... 9, 8, 7 ... As the final week of high school arrived, seniors seemed so busy that the countdown was almost forgotten. A.P. exams were finished with, and final exams were just starting. As the last exam ended on Wednesday, the Seniors were immmediately thrust into a busy schedule of graduation parties. First, there was the crawfish boil at Bocage, where people ate, swam, and got thrown in the pool. The next day, there was a luncheon for the girls at Stephanie Abramson's house, followed Or. Ljurj Lcmoinc. Fr. Hjncock, and the first few members, alphabetically speaking, of the Class of '87 wait for the end of the Processional. at by a party at the Camelot Club that night, for everyone, hosted by Dawn Kubricht. For the final day before graduation, there was a barbeque and swimming party at Rebecca Rainer's house. Recalls Dawn, I was so busy that I didn't even have time to think about graduation itself. ... 2, 1, GRADUATION!!! Nevertheless, May 22 arrived along with graduation. After getting ready all day. the Class of'87 met in the new theater for the group picture, guys in their tuxes, and girls in white gowns, each girl carrying a red rose floral arrangement. Following the picture, everyone moved to the chapel to begin the Processional. Due to the rain, the Seniors were forced to make mad dashes with umbrellas from Perkins Hall to the Chapel. Once inside, everything went smoothly. First came the Invocation and Lord's Prayer, followed by the Lesson from the Gospel of John, then the anthem, Go Not Far From Me, O God. Next came the Welcome by Father Hancock, the Valedictory Address by Jeff Drake and Julie Sternberg, the Commencement Address by Dr. Laura F. Lemoine, and the Presentation of Awards by Mrs. Lucy Smith. It all climaxed at the conferring of the diplomas, a symbol of the end to the first phase of the lives of ninety-two graduates. As the choir sang For Just A Moment for the closing anthem, tears could be seen in the eyes of the raduates. Following the bene-iction, the recessional seemed to go unbelievably quickly. Once outside, there were tears and smiles, hugs and laughter. Slowly, everyone made their way from the sidewalk to the patio outside the Dining Hall for more congratulating, hugging, and crying. Says Heather Oulton, It was exciting, yet scary at the same time because I realized that everything is changing. 198 Graduation
