Episcopal High School - Accolade Yearbook (Baton Rouge, LA)

As the year ends. Episcopal High School has, once again, lived up to its reputation of having one of the highest academic programs. With various accelerated, honors, and A.P. courses, each student this past year was paced according to this own ability. This, along with the special attention the teachers were willing to give, resulted in the best education for the students. As the graduates leave to enter college, they find that EHS has more than prepared them for the hard work that lies ahead. Along with an education, students at EHS also received a lesson in management. That is, management of time. With twenty clubs and nine athletic teams, students had no trouble finding at least one extracurricular activity of interest. The problem, more often, was that students found too many interests after given the choice of athletics, drama, art, publications, and or community service. However, since keeping one's grades up was strictly demanded, students soon learned the art of . .. MAKING Time For 11AI1 Cosches' Awjrd recipient Ktcky Michelle Young.

College Counselor Michael Hallman helps Terry Shubkin eliminate twenty-eight colleges, deciding upon Washington University as her top choice. The long process of picking out a college began in the fall of the junior year when Mr. Hallman showed up in Mrs. Stuckey's classes, ready for his first of many talks. He discussed PSAT's in October, SAT's in March, ACT's in April, and of course, the importance of keeping one's grades up. He also encouraged the students to attend the meetings held by college representatives. In the spring of the junior year, Mr. Hallman began having his individual conferences with students and parents. Lists of colleges were drawn up, ranging anywhere from one to twenty-nine different possibilities. Subsequently, parents were hit up for trips to go visit campuses during the summer. These college visits continued throughout the fall of the senior year. Not only did they get the students out of school for a couple of days, but they also helped narrow down the number of choices. By December, the lists were down to an average of four schools per person, though several people ended up applying to over ten different places. After filling out applications came the long wait. While some heard right away, many were kept in suspense until April 15. On the average, there was a 75% acceptance rate. Once the wait was over, the students were required to do one more thing- select one and only one college by May 1. Out of ninety-two students, the Class of 87 ended up accepting offers from forty-five different schools ranging in location from California to Virginia to Germany. Though scattered throughout the world, these ninety-two people will always have one link, EHS, joining them together. Colleges 221

Academics, athletics, and clubs are what made this past school year a good one at EHS. But, what made the school special were the people. EHS is like one big family, made up of a group of uniquely talented individuals. Outside of school, students took up hobbies of interest such as horseback riding, dancing, piano, and golf. These various talents, combined, gave EHS its own special personality. Just as each individual is important, so is the idea of unity within a school. Social functions such as games. dances, and parties gave students the opportunity to draw close to one another, as well as to have fun. To further enhance this closeness, students were given two retreats- Y.O. for the eighth graders and senior retreat- in which to interact in a different environment. As a result of the socializing outside of school, relations during the 8:00-3:15 schedule were greatly improved. Between the retreats, social events, and outside hobbies, students soon learned that though it is important, campus life is only One Of tb FlECEcS Of Life Not only Joe senior Scott Hulon receive enjoyment from playing the guitar, but so did the rest of school as his band.
