To reach the fullest potential and to improve ourselves whenever pos- sible was an admirable pursuit. Accom- plishment in all facets: academics. ath- letics, and unified and personal growth was what we strived for. And we succeeded. We broadened our horizons 'Jy ad- ding Russian to the foreign language curriculum. We were educated by ex- change teachers from across the ocean and sent our own students to Wash- ington, DC. to represent our academic caliber in a national Constitution com- petition. And yet our focus never strayed far from home. New, brighter lock- ers maintained our high profile, and the seniors were relieved to find a parking space waiting for them in the morning with the addition of a year-long senior lot.

Both the boys and girls cross coun- try teams competed in the state meet. And the enjoyment we had competing was more valuable than any winning record. We achieved our goals and went be- yond. We measured up to our high caliber image and lived for today as we looked toward tomorrow. II 'I t .10 l' M 'Jll' flaunt A w a rial! v.12?
