The evening included poster presentations from over 90 teams from different disciplines who described their projects and answered questions regarding the use of mathematics and science in engineering. This was an opportunity for students to learn more about STEM, in particular, applied mathematics and industry-sponsored engineering projects. The EHS students were able to speak one-on-one with graduate and undergraduate students and engineers and even vote for their favorite project for the people’s choice award. A sophomore math student explained, “It was neat to see innovations that will affect our lives in the future and it was a great way to explore many different types of engineering, and its real world implications.” It has been a very exciting year for the Math Club. Congratulations to next year’s Math Club officers: President - Anna Moise; Internal Vice President - Blair Barineau; External Vice President - Emeline Birdwell; Secretary - Gloria Ni; and Social Media Coordinator - Garret Sisk. In addition, next year’s Mu Alpha Theta Officers are Ellie Ragiel as President and Ashley Chandler as Vice President. We hope to see you next year for even more exciting STEM activities!

I will leave you with my legacy of advice filled with tricks and tips on how to survive high school. 1. Treat every day like it’s tomorrow and tomorrow like it’s yesterday so you live in an infinite loop. 2. When you see upperclassmen, know they care less about everything than you, so do not be afraid. 3. Learn to fly so you can get to class faster. 4. Be a trend setter and wear khaki skirts to #standout… 5. … but don’t #standout tooooo much because then you will be shunned into a box and shipped to Steve Harvey’s front door. 6. Introduce yourself to every teacher until you reach Bowser, then use your shiny star to take him down. 7. Wear heels or a suit to school one day Students practice for the musical in the Band Hall.

Focus all your free time on learning to focus; then focus on how to focus better while still focusing on focusing. 9. Goof and gaffe. 10. Join newspaper! It’s a hoot and a holler!

Features The Snake Man cometh ISABEL YOUNG Staff Writer The Knight Times 3 Your Spanish Corner Thomas Davis, otherwise known as the “Snake Man” around campus, came to the EHS student biology classes to share his love of reptiles. Mr. Davis visits Episcopal every year when the freshmen study reptiles in biology. The students look forward to this day because they get to pass around and hold different types of snakes. This helps some students overcome their fears of the scaly reptile while getting up close and personal with the animal. To start the presentation, Mr. Davis gives an introduction to the different types of snakes and talks about where they can be found. The students learn that venomous snakes thrive just a few miles from where they live because all poisonous snakes live in Houston. These consist of the moccasin, rattlesnake, copperhead, and cottonmouth. Although they exist in the city, Mr. Davis did not bring these snakes to show the classes. The snakes he brought were harmless and friendly. He taught the students how to identify poisonous and nonpoisonous snakes so they can be aware if they ever see a snake outside of the classroom. Students learn that they can differentiate among these snakes by color, and he reminded the students of the popular rhyme, “Black and yellow kill a fellow, red and black, it’s okay Jack.” The students and teachers enjoy Snake Day because it is a unique and fun way to learn and coincides with their unit on reptiles. Prom delivers memories GABRIELLE DUCOTE Staff Writer The EHS Senior Prom was hosted at Life HTX on April 21. The venue was chic and unique and featured an array of photos and videos projected onto the walls, including one of the members of the Senior Class of 2018 with their banner. The evening began with everyone on the dance floor thanks to a great DJ. Hip Hop Harry (Philbrick) busted his moves, and the grade had a great time dancing and singing along together. A photo booth was also available. The second part of Prom involved the conversion of the dance venue into a casino, complete with a buffet, for the remainder of the night. Whataburger “Hubchubs,” Raising Cane’s chicken strips, and an assortment of River Oaks donut holes Freshman Rachel Barker holds one of the many snakes the Snake Man brought for the students to hold.

Each student was given raffle tickets and an amount of play money to begin and was able to cash in winnings at any point in exchange for raffle tickets toward enviable prizes. Some of those included printers, TV’s, clothing and jewelry items, dorm room necessities, a MacBook Air, Beats headphones, Google Home devices, an iHome, and much more. The grand prize, a moped, was won by Will Edens. Many students went home from Prom with raffle prizes, making the night that much more memorable. Prom was a success that capped off the many dances and special events the Senior Class of 2018 spent together over four years of high school. It was an evening filled with future memories. LAUREN PORTER Editor-in-Chief Hola a todos, este mes El Rincón Español discutirá el tema del cinco de mayo. Mucha gente cree que el cinco de mayo es el día en que México ganó su independencia de España, pero la fecha de ella es el 16 de septiembre. Cinco de mayo celebra el día en que el ejército mexicano luchó contra el ejército francés de Napoleón y ganó. La batalla se llama la batalla de Puebla y causó la unidad nacional entre el pueblo mexicano. El día festivo es reconocido en los Estados Unidos como una celebración de la cultura mexicanaamericana, sin embargo el día no es una fiesta nacional en México. Cinco de mayo es un día muy divertido–celebra este día mientras que celebres la historia de México. NHS welcomes junior inductees LAUREN PORTER Editor-in-Chief The Benitez Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) inducted new members this month. The National Honor Society induction was held in the Alumni Center in the Hildebrand Athletic Center, and parents as well as current senior NHS members came to watch the induction. The current officers of NHS gave speeches explaining the mission of the National Honor Society and the history behind it. National Honor Society members must show leadership, morals, and service to be inducted in the chapter, and they also must maintain a 3.75 GPA to remain in the society. After the speeches, the newly admitted juniors were called to the podium to receive their certificates. After the distribution of the certificates, the inductees repeated the NHS oath and enjoyed a specially decorated cake and refreshments. The officer elections for next year were also held this month, with Mark Nylund elected President, Carter Kardesch as Vice President, Claire Kardesch as Secretary-Treasurer, and Sophia Haugh as Parliamentarian. New members of NHS were inducted into the organization during a ceremony in the Alumni Center. Photo courtesy of Lauren Porter. EHS SPEAKS OUT If your life were a novel, what would it be called?
