Hancock Graduates As 1 look back over my four years at Episcopal High School, there are innumerable memories that make me feel good about our school. Probably the most significant things have been the academic developments at the school. Four years ago there was no A.P. program and there was little by way of options in middle school enrichment. Our SAT scores hovered just below the 1,000 mark. The science program had little opportunity for laboratory work. There was no choir and the band program was dying. There was no emphasis upon writing in the English curriculum and 1 was worried that the classics were not being studied. 1 think the school has done much to address all of these areas and I believe that we now have a strong foundation from which to continue to build. In terms of the administration of the school, 1 think the development into a true three division school will make an enormous difference. The di- vision heads are now asked to be responsible for the style and ethos of their own division and because students will be able to grow and develop in an age-appropriate manner, I think we will breed a healthy student body and a warm and exciting tone of life. I think another real development has been in the area of student leadership. 1 see students beginning to take upon themselves more and more responsibility for the excellence of the school and as they feel that responsibility, so too I think they will feel increasing pride in what the school accomplishes. Of course, we have raised a lot of money and all of that in a time when the local economy has not been strong. Gifts to the school over these four years amount to very nearly $4,000,000 and that has been reflected in the wonderful developments in our facilities, in new programs and in improved faculty salaries. Once again, I see these things as a foundation for further growth rather than as ends in themselves — so long as we can keep things moving, I see the school getting better and better. It has been a good place for me to be for four years. I know I have learned a lot and certainly I have enjoyed Baton Rouge as a place to live. I feel I have made good friendships that will remain with me for a long time. There have been frustrations and there have been disappointments, but those will always be there. I feel that I am an ambitious person and the needs that that ambition ates have been well met growth and development the school. I would like to see a caring tone on our would like to see more sity in the student would like to see the mental music come as strong and drama programs. I like the school to more secure financially larger endowment. I love to have a state football team, but, even I would like a state soccer team. Having started high school together, lather Hancock and this year's seniors shared a special bond which was enhanced during Senior Retreat.
