SADD, Students Against Driving Drunk, at- tracts lots of volunteers and peer counselors. Kristin McCullough, a senior in the program participated in the teach-in held for underclass- men in September. We don’t try and preach to the kids. We just teach the facts about alcohol and drugs and help them make their own decisions,” Kristin ex- plained. The benefits of volunteerism are not restricted to the school. Mike Hickey realized benefits from his involvement with SADD. It made me realize that I can speak to people about what I believe in more freely than I did before joining SADD.

From diamond studs to discreet gold rings the earring types varied widely in those guys daring enough to try the new style. Feather earrings were very popular. And the practice of double piercing is common. Some even triple pierce one ear. But by far the biggest change has been to larger droopy, heavy ear- rings. If its in the correct ear (right) then its cool,” said Sheri Marcou. It doesn’t matter which ear it is in as long as the person looks good in it,” observed Jennifer I Blood. Rings are a close second to earrings in popu- larity this year. Claddagh rings can be found with - surprising regularity on Irish and non-Irish alike. Class rings are also popular. Many students buy rings as early as their sophomore year. Another popular item of personal decoration is a button collection: on a coat, on clothes and pocketbooks, buttons for everything from rock groups to vacation spots can be seen. Symbols of popular music and video artists were popular. Claire Burton frequently wore her large collection. Liz Stella favored large, eye-catching earrings. Diane Callahan and Lisa Gillis preferred the camouflage of their sunglasses. 16 School Life
