Fun And Excitement With Science, Computer, And Chess Clubs The Science Club has long been one of the most popular clubs at Episcopal High, and this year was no exception. Under the leadership of President Amy Hackney, Vice-President Andrew Booth, Secretary Jan LaNasa, and Treasurer Arun Prabhakaran, and sponsors Miss Fontenot and Mr. Disch, the club was quite active and involved with the school. For the first year, the club enforced a new rule requiring all members to dedicate at least one hour to community service. This mostly included helping out at bake sales and spending extra time in the science labs. After this requirement was filled, members were able to participate in the club's boat tour of a swamp in Henderson, La. Students described this as not only a learning experience, but also, one of the best field trips all year. This year, the Computer Science Club proved to be an educational experience, as well as being a fun one. Made up of the students in the A.P. class, members learned how to write programs, they worked with PASCAL and TOP-DOWN designs, they practiced parameters and functions, and they worked with endless loops and if then therefore programs. To add some excitement to all of this learning, the members frequently came in after school to play with computer games or to watch Monty-Python's The Quest for the Holy Grail. Overall, the Computer Club proved to be an excellent experience for all involved. Dedication, hard work, and skill. That is what the EHS Chess Club was all about. Members met everyday during activity period to chal- lenge one another and bru up on their technique. For I further practice, sponsor Mr. I Mazurek hosted two upp r school tournaments and five lower school tournament. During these, members co:rvl peted against other member? within the school. By experiencing this kind of fierce competition, members became prepared for the River City High School Chess Con-petition. All of the hard work and dedication paid off as tne Knights came in an impressive third place overall. Cor.-peting for the Knights were Gayden Carr on First BoarJl Kevin Kiesel on Second Board, Thomas Latham on Third Board, and Ben-Hwi Hu on Fourth Board. Being against such stiff compe: tion, though, was stimula: ing and rewarding, accor: ing to Thomas Latham. 2$ Scicnct Computcr Che» Club-
