IGI-I CALIBER Caliber: a degree of excellence or achievement. To achieve the highest caliber per- formance and results was the noblest of goals. 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. Outside of school, we concentrat- ed on service to the community. The number of students participat- ing in the Senior Service program increased by 300 percent, showing the validity of our pride. The un- derclassmen joined forces to clean up the area around the school as part of a Good Neighbor programt Academically, we remained on the cutting edge with the publication of a nationally award-winning stu- want!
