March Student Life 6 Eager Students Are Participating Cn Bowl Team Six students, selected on the basis of their grade point average, their response and reaction times, and by their teachers' recommendations, were Escambia's High School Bowl participants. Representing seniors were David Coulliette, Rick Spicuzza and Jorji Griffin: while, the junior delegates were Sheri McCurIey, Paige Norton and Susan O'DonnelI. Long afternoon practices prepare the team for its television competition with various other schools. Since students have no prior knowledge of what will be asked. many subjects are covered. Watching the show each week on television, and seeing how the questions are presented also helps prepare the team members. We have very high hopes for our team this year, and so far we are very well pleased, said Mrs. Billie Joyce Rigsby, team sponsor, who added, The first game is always the hardest because it is a new experience, but Escambia has always done a good job with High School Bowl and l anticipate the same for this year. hi-I Mrs. Billie Joyce Rigsby works diligently preparing for their meet.
