AN ESSENTIAL PART TO EVERY SCHOOL, CUR- RICULUM AT CAPTAIN SHREVE DID NOT DE- PART FROM ITS ESTABLISHED NORM OF EX- CELLENCE. THE DIVERSITY OF SUCH WAS ESPECIALLY APPARENT HERE. CAPTAIN SHREVE’S CURRICULUM WAS SECOND TO NO OTHER HIGH SCHOOL IN THE AREA. SUCH A RANGE OF OFFERINGS WAS TO BE FOUND NO- WHERE ELSE. SUCH EXCELLENCE WAS IN- STRUMENTAL IN SHAPING THE LIVES OF THE STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED HERE. AN AVID LEARNER MIGHT HAVE PIECED TOGETHER HIS HIGH SCHOOL CAREER TO FOLLOW SEVERAL GRADUATION PROGRAMS. SUCH PROGRAMS PLAYED AN INSTRUMENTAL ROLE IN THE MO- TIVATION OF THE STUDENTS. THE EXCELLENT CURRICULUM MAY HAVE BEEN MORE IMPOR- TANT THAN OTHER ASPECTS OF CAPTAIN SHREVE. BECAUSE IT IS THE INGREDIENT THAT INITIALLY CREATES THE MOTIVATION AND AMBITION OF THE NEW STUDENT. COM- PUTER LABS. HONORARY PROGRAMS. THE ON- LY APPROVED CLASSICS DEPARTMENT. SEV- ERAL ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES AND MORE JOB RELATED COURSES ARE NOTEWOR- THY OFFERINGS . SUCH DISTINCTIONS ALLOW CAPTAIN SHREVE’S CURRICULUM TO BE TERMED-A CUT ABOVE THE REST. OPENING 9

SCHOOL SPIRIT MIGHT NOT HAVE SEEMED EX- TREMELY IMPORTANT TOWARD THE FUNC- TIONING OF A SCHOOL. BUT MUCH VALUE WAS PLACED ON SCHOOL SPIRIT AT CAPTAIN SHREVE. SCHOOL SPIRIT WAS EVIDENT IN ALL FACETS OF LIFE AT CAPTAIN SHREVE. AND TOOK AN ESPECIALLY ROWDY AND MEMO- RABLE FORM DURING THE PEP RALLIES AND GAMES. THE EXTRA ZEST WAS PART OF THE DIFFERENCE THAT MADE CAPTAIN SHREVE A CUT ABOVE THE REST. SUCH SPIRIT WAS VI- TAL TO THE STATE OF EXCELLENCE AT- TAINED AT CAPTAIN SHREVE. FOR WITHOUT IT. STUDENTS WOULD HAVE LACKED THE MO- TIVATION TO BECOME INVOLVED AND TO CARE ABOUT SHREVE. WITHOUT THE LEVEL OF MOTIVATION EVIDENT IN SHREVE STU- DENTS. THE SCHOOL COULD NOT HAVE HOPED TO SHINE OUT AS IT DID. NEWCOMERS WERE SHOCKED AT THE INTENSE PATRIOTISM AT CAPTAIN SHREVE. PEOPLE FROM OTHER SCHOOLS KNEW OF THE INTENSE SCHOOL SPIRIT OF SHREVE. IT WAS SO RECOGNIZED BECAUSE IT SURPASSED THAT OF ALL OTHER SCHOOLS. THE GATORS’ DEDICATION TO THEIR ALMA MATER ALLOWED IT TO ATTAIN THE EXCELLENCE IT DID. AND TO BECOME A CUT ABOVE THE REST. 10 LOG
