At 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 15 not everyone was sleeping till noon. This sunny morning brought 80 walkers and bikers to the streets. They awaited the signal to start the 10 mile walk and 15 mile bike-a-thon. SPARKS, Special People Assisting Retarded Kids, sponsored the walk-bike-a- thon. With the help of Mr. Ray Housely, Ms. Sadie Woodard, NHS, SACA, and Utopia over, 34,000.00 was raised. The money was used for the Kids Special Olympics. It helped to pay for their ban- quets and athletic programs. The Kids Special Olympics practiced every Saturday since March from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Jersey Village Stadium. They continued un- til the end of May.

The bike-a-thon overall took three hours to pedal. Each person brought his own bike and started at his own pace. Daisy and Eugenia thought they could save themselves the effort of having to carry two bikes by doubling up on a bicycle made for two.

,f Idaster unn ' VVarns ' d During Drug Awareness Week students were made aware of different kind of ,, drugs and their harmful af- fects. Speakers came in and talked with the students of their personal experiences with drugs to convince them how dangerous drugs were. The SACA program sold t- shirts with STOP printed on them for 33.00 in the commons. Here, Junior Kuwant Mann discusses with Junior Anita Raman the effects of Friendline and that all members of SACA should be wearing their STOP T-shirt today.

Photo by Allison -Garrett . A serious problem among teenagers today is alcohol abuse. Last year alone several thousand deaths occurred as a result from drunk-driving. SACA members tried to com- bat this problem by construc- ting several projects against drugs and alcohol. One of them was the S5,000,000 Don't Drink and Drive College Scholarship Challenge. Sponsered by Readers Digest and the Na- tional Association of Secon- dary School Principals KNASSPJ, the program challenged the nation's high school students to develop and implement the best pro- grams for combating drinking and driving. SACA figured the best way to do this was to make kids, while they were still young, aware of the harmful affects of drugs and alcohol. Since the project took place at the end of March the students dressed up in Easter bunny outfits to catch children's attenthon. They thought this woul-i be a craative way for the kids to learn something and be enter-tained at the same pime, Whether or not they the contest phaced first in didn't matter as much to the students as how much of an effect their project had on the children. Their main purpose was 'to warn kids of dangers of drugs and alcohol. Qritten by Angelica Smith. SACA 59
