l-' Cl sses The ultimate academic goal of each boy who comes to E.H.S. is graduation. In order to achieve this goal he must have sixteen credits, each course in a major field of study counting as one credit. By taking the normal four subjects per year, a boy may easily graduate in four years. Getting oneis diploma, however, is not as simple as it may sound. The studies at Episcopal are not easy. They are not meant to be. They are meant to require conscientious effort on the part of every student. Boys who will not make this effort are justly rewarded, usually in the form of having to spend five years getting the diploma that normally requires only four. Some boys never graduate at all. But those who are willing to make the effort find that a great deal may be learned merely by putting oneself in the right frame of mind. To the non-student, these studies are just a group of subjects taught at a high school in Virginia. To the students they are the personifications of the masters who teach them. What little we have learned we have learned because there was a group of patient, unselfish men who were willing to help us in our endeavors. This is a fitting time to pay tribute to them, to their unselfish devotion to the training of the boys of the school, not only in the classrooms, but in all phases of life. flgdffk Qepdftnienf The English Department forms so integral a part of our E.H.S. 'education that it has become the foundation upon which many other branches of school and later life operate. This department is notable for 'the corps of erudite gentlemen who comprise its faculty-3 it is also notorious for the English Reference Book, which is irreverently termed The Grey Gospeln by students who, regard- less of circumstances, maintain strict adherence to all its edicts, laws, and orders, which are better known as rules and definitions. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Ravenel, who in his few short years at the helm of the department, has molded it into the outstanding one among Southern preparatory schools. As stated by Mr- Ravenel, the objective of the English Department is to develop in each boy the ability to read with comprehension and a reasonable degree of speed, to cultivate in him an appreciation of good literature, and to give him adequate control over the tools of language so that he may speak and write effectivelyn. Believing that a little learning is a dangerous thing, the llnglishinstructors insure that pupils imbibe magnitudinous quantities of nthe Pierian spring. These imbibings begin with swallows of fundamentals under the tutelage of Mr. Ravenel and Mr. .l. C. Boggs in freshman English. 13 a
