Cali Ann Damron, an Andrews Academy senior, was born at Berrien General Hospital to Don and Elise Damron and has lived in Berrien Springs, Mich., ever since.

Cali has been elected to class and National Honor Society offices for the past three years, is involved in music as a member of the Concert Band and Women’s Chorus for all four years, and Handbell Choir for a year and a half. Recently, Cali was instrumental in starting Intermission, a Friday evening vespers program she coordinates for community young people.

Cali's interests include family, bell ringing, cooking, and travel. Her career plans include mission service as either a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant. Cali’s interest in mission work is a result of meaningful experiences on mission trips, including two SOW Safari trips with Andrews Academy.

According to one of Cali’s teachers, "Cali always has a smile on her face, is energetically involved in whatever she finds to do, and has a pleasant greeting for anyone she meets."

Born to parents who were mission doctors in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, Jeffery Allen Habenicht spent his first twelve years learning to love island life. The son of Larry and Debbie Habenicht, Jeff, a senior, is enjoying his experience as he finishes four years at Andrews Academy.

Jeff’s talent for leadership is obvious; he has served as freshman class vice president, sophomore class president, Student Association treasurer during his junior year, and now leads the class of 2005 as president. He is also a National Honor Society member, and has worked on the newspaper and yearbook staffs. Jeff is passionately involved in the academy music program, playing trumpet in the Orchestra and Concert Band, where he has been student conductor for the past two years, and singing in the Men’s Chorus.

Jeff’s interests include photography, music, and sports—especially running and biking. Service is an important part of his life as demonstrated by his involvement in Random Acts of Kindness, a student-initiated group which helps community members; his participation in many mission trips, including three SOW Safari trips with the academy; and his leadership in an evangelist series in Botswana, Africa, this past summer. Jeff states that he "want[s] to make the world a better place for those who follow [him]."

He plans to pursue a double major in molecular biology and photography at Andrews University this fall, and a possible advanced degree in genetic engineering at Harvard in the future.
