To discourage weekend visiting, The High School has classes on Saturday, a holiday each Monday. The school is proud of its athletes and of its scholastic record. Sacred studies and spelling study (until a student's spelling is letter-perfect) are required every day, and Latin is a pre scribed course. Students are carefully ushered in small classes (12 to 15) through a rigid classical curriculum. Last year 35 of the school's 231 boys averaged 90 or better in the school examinations. Episcopal High School scholars make an impressive showing at University of Vir ginia, Princeton, Harvard and Yale. Planning to go back to teach in The High School (perhaps eventually to step into his father's shoes) is a star Yale end ('39), Flick Hoxton Jr.
