Ws : SAE)D tlirOliall ■ ' publicity an( out, drunk drivers, is out to save you ' contracts for life ' Students didn ' t wait for a trage- dy before taking action against the dangers of drunken driving. At the end of September, SADD, Students Against Driving Drunk, held its first meeting. SADD is an organization that deals with the tragedies of students driving drunk, one member explained. Friday Night Live, held Dec. 16, 1986, demonstrated what SADD hoped to achieve. The pre- sentation, similar to others shown to junior and senior high school students all over the United States, emphasized the dangers of driving drunk. SADD hoped to start a Safe Ride Program, which would allow students to call a num- ber if they felt they were too in- to.vicated to drive. Cans ' on Springs is very active compared to other schools, SADD president Danelle Germo said. About three-fourths of Califor- nia ' s high schools had SADD chapters. Mr. Tom Chelbana, the spon- sor of SADD, thought it was a fantastic program. If students are going to drink, he said, they shouldn ' t drive. My goal is to have no stu- dent from Canyon Springs die in a drinking-related accident. Chelbana felt the most students got out of SADD was being around other students who shared the same views on drinking and driving as they did. There were appro. imately thirty students who attended the SADD meetings. Chelbana hoped that in the future man) ' more would join. A SADD IHlSll.K si.iirs ilu- .iuh

t f T wo organizations serve many peopL Two clubs thai served were Amnesty International and the Cougarettes. Although both groups were organized to help stu- dents help others, they operated in very different ways, and they worked to benefit very different people. The Canyon Springs chapter of Amnesty International was led by Mrs. Chris Reifel, who described herself as a strong believer in equa- lity for all people. The Amnesty group attempted to help free those people in foreign countries who were prisoners of conscience, meaning those who were impris- oned simply because of their be- liefs. Members learned about such prisoners and wrote letters peti- tioning governments for their re- lease. Our group works with the prisoners in Chile, South America and the Soviet Union, Reifel said. Sometimes a few letters are Ignored, but if thousands of letters pour into one country from an- other country, a message will be received that many in the world are concerned. Amnesty Interna- tional is a really great organization. It does the kind of work that really matters, and I am proud that Can- yon Springs has this group on its campus. The Cougarettes, though shar- ing a desire to help others, worked very differently from Amnesty In- ternational. The Cougarettes were a hostess club that gave faculty luncheons, threw dances and helped students with other school- related activities. Mrs. Susan Rhodes and Mrs. Linda Acosta were the driving forces behind the success of the Cougarettes ' work. I like the Cougarettes ' work, Beckv Crum said. It ' s fun.
