Through Hard Times Bud Bard Work . . . Hard work is no stranger to the students here; papers, tests, sports, and clubs keep them busy. The hard work pays off, though. In 1987, 99 percent of the seniors went to 47 different colleges. Eighty-five percent went to the college of their first choice. To help the student do well on standardized achievement tests. Episcopal provides PS AT and SAT ACT preparation classes. As of November, average SAT scores for the Class of 1988 were 490 V and 522 M. The average ACT score was 23.6. College adviser Mr. Hallman says that the scores are expected to go up in December and January. We recognize the hard work of the athletic teams, also. In crosscountry, both the girls' teams and the boys teams captured the state title. The volleyball team won district and went on to the state tournament, where they reach the semifinals. Much hard work and dedication was invested in the drama productions at EHS. This falls' plays included Steamboatin' and Pillow Talk. With the help of Mrs. Bonner, Mr. Tibergh-ein, and the thespians, both plays were successful performances. The workload, which includes seven hours of classes and over two hours of homework for many, can often make going to Episcopal seem like hard times. The hard times end when the hard work pays off.

Bespite the constant pressure of papers, tests, sports, and clubs, students manage to take time out to laugh and to just have some fun. This year, the high school students spent time one week decorating the school for Homecoming. Spirit Week was a first this year, and it proved to be fun for all who worked on it. One annual event that the junior and senior girls especially enjoy is Big Sis-Li'l Sis, which took place on November 20, 1987. For Homecoming, Junior Chris Marsland takes slight advantage of the term Wear Anything Day. Sophomores Andrew 5mith, Hunter Manship, and Chris Edmonston clown around before their next class. It was great to go out with the senior girls, said junior Amy Howell. We felt like we'd known them for a long time, even though we really hadn't. Spirit Week and Big Siss-Li'l Sis are only two of the many school-sponsored activities that the students enjoy. Whether the activities are traditional or new, they always provide a fun, exciting, and much-needed break from the academic workload. -A . Through flood limes Bud laughter . . .
