This is exactly what the program is designed to prevent. Greene initiated the Staying Alive Program that was enacted through Northridge Hospital. The program was not designed to discipline students or to tell them not to drink. lt was set on the sole purpose of educating students of the dangers and consequences of driving drunk. Staying Alive involves six pairs of students who had prepared for the program 's two day agen- da for two full weeks. These students went to various CHS classrooms during these two days where they had top re- presentation, showing a video and giving statistics about the frightening number of teenage drunk driving fatalities. Important instructions on how students can avoid riding with a person under the influence of al- cohol given. Students also leamed how to help their friends by keeping them from driving drunk. Kim Michelman, Secretary of SADD said, The main goal of SADD is not to preach to stu- dents, because it's their choice to drink, but it's our purpose to inform them about the serious- ness about driving drunk, and the danger it imposes upon so- ciety.

CHRTSWDRTH ff ffffwif 0 W7 OWWVWX7 Wf I UDEN I 5 f f f f frzrzzfff - by Rick Golden An earthquake, later measured at 6.1 on the Richter Scale, struck Southern California at 7:42 a.m. on Thursday, October 2. The quake, whose epicen- ter was just south of Pasadena, was felt as far north as Lake Tahoe and as far west as Las Vegas. At CHS, people and classrooms and buildings were evacuated into the quad. No injuries of damage were re- field for approximately one hour. For- tunately, CHS reported no structural damage and classes resumed. High schools in the Burbank school system were dismissed early, sustain- ing image such as cracked walls and falling light fixtures. Upon interviewing students, some were scared but others took in stride. f Vfivfffwf ffl 1 7 Z ga, 7 ,, y My T if if ff fVfZOWfffffW!ff7Wi7f f f7f f YW WWWWW f WW iyfif wfyfyiw ww xg ff' f QW!

Superior County Courthouse this past No- vember. They were just one of forty teams throughout L.A. County that par- ticipated. Chatsworth 's team consisted of approximately 20 members and was coached by Social Studies teacher Dan T uiiree. The team had to prepare both sides of the hypothetical case People v. Friendly . Members of the prosecution team were the attorneys Julie Bedigian, Jennifer Cass, Azin Shahrarindad and witnesses Catty Kim, Pauline Le, Karen Raz, and Patricia Wang. The defense consisted ofa ttorneys Bill Kramer, Chad Lewin, and Jen- nifer Pinard, Andy Duran, Grace Park, Analie Rodriguez, Nina Vaca were the witnesses. In previous years, CHS has repeat- edly captured the L.A. County title and moved on to State Finals in Sacramento. However, this year Chatsworth did not rare as well. Next year's team is expected to do better because there will be more experience among the team mem- bers. Also, it is 'probable' that Mock Trial will become an actual class next yeah resulting in a more pre- pared team. T uffree felt that it was a good ex- perience for all involved because the members leamed a lot about real trial procedure. lt's not as glamorous as t.v. leads people to believe.
