fall Iports Banquet football, Uollcyball. Cross Country, Checrlcadmg ifnd Righsteppm Wm Thrir Right Of Recognition! 'll ou have to be prepared to i! be the 98% who fail in professional sports' said guest speaker Jerry Stovall. A shocker?-Yes, but Stovalls speech to the athletes stressed the importance of academics. This years fall sports banquet was held on January 20th in honor of those who participated in Football, Girls and Boys Cross Country, and Volleyball. The Highstcppers and Cheerleaders were recognized as well. The banquet began at 5:30 with a stand-up supper in the Webster Dining Hall, followed by the awards presentation in the new Greer Center. Former LSU coach Jerry Stovall offered an inspiring presentation as guest speaker. He stressed the importance of both being a good athlete, and a good student. The audience responded positively to Sto- vall's presentation, and the message he gave the athletes was appropriate: being a good student is more important than being a good athlete. For the first year highsteppers and cheerleaders were awarded a varsity letter for their achievement. Both squads put in many hours of hard work, and after three years of negotiations with coaches and sponsors, they were finally rewarded. Coach Duplechin received a big suprise from his boys cross country team this year: a teal blue mountain bike. The best thing about having a big team is that the coach can get a big present! said John Coleman as he awarded the bike to Coach Duplechin. The bike will get plenty of use because he often rides beside the cross country team while they run. Coach Duplechin tries out his new Guest speaker Jerry Stovall enter-mountain bike given to him by the tained the audience with stories of his cross country team experience.

T ights ... Camera ... Ac-tion: KNIGHTLINE NEWS is being brought to you in part by the EHS Junior Class, proud sponsors of the 1988 talent show. Most people have watched the news but not like the news produced by the Class of '89. Thursday. January 21, and Saturday, January 23, were two of the most informative nights in news history — informative of Episcopal High School's talent. From the opening junior scene, Winter Nights, to the closing Junior Rap, the Knights shined. After the return from the Christmas holidays the Juniors frantically organized the show. W'ho arc the emcees? Who is in the dance filler? ... the song filler? With guidance from the junior class sponsors, Mrs. Bonner and Mr. Shreve, the show came together. Both nights the auditorium came alive with the talented participants. Thursday incorporated grades four through six. From the first fourth grader to the last sixth grader the audience was well entertained. First place was awarded to fourth graders: Jennifer Herbert, Adria Ledoux, Teresa Leonardi, and Tressa Melan-con, for the fine dramatization of The Spider and the Fly. Fourth graders: Gipson Carter, Sarah W'ickline, and Casey Hendry, captured second place. Their dance to Vacation really brought the beach and sunshine to the show despite freezing temperatures outside. Jeb Quaid and Van Wilson, sixth graders who performed a very amusing rap about Episcopal life, took third place. An extremely talented, sixth grade, piano soloist, Bethany Rubin received fourth place. As lead singer of the group Thi Fuzzy Navels ' Trip Fuchs |;Ven, the audience as he performs popular music. The Upper School show was presented to an overflowing audience. A great dance routine to American Soviet earned freshman Jennifer Dodds and Angela Shobe first place. Two second places were awarded to junior dance group: Natalie Baum, Amy Howell, Bitsy Kornegay, Cristi Lima, Emily Manner, and Becky Noriea dancing to Bring Your Love Down and eighth graders: Sister DuPont, Nicole Fowler, Melanie Mitchum, and Heidi Wilkinson dance to Hazy Shade of W'inter. Not totally dominated by dances, Janina Baxley received third place for her interpretation of Scenes From Billy Joel. To the juniors' relief they heard nothing but compliments on an outstanding show. This concludes the broadcast of the KNIGHTLINE NEWS brought to you by the Junior Class. KNIGHTLINE NEWS presents their live, on-the-spot emcees: David Dansky and Ashley Ftazcr. Angela Shobe and Jennifer Dodds danced their way into the judges’ hearts with a great performance. 78
