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

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.

It was a lot of hard work, but we had a great time doing it, Senior Michelle Everett said. A lot of hard work was the key phrase that described H.O.S.A. H.O.S.A., which began its first year at J.V., was a national organization that consisted of students who were enrolled in the Health Care Science and Health Occupations Percep- torship programs. Many of the H.O.S.A. members visited Baylor College of Medicine and the Veteran's Ad- ministration Building, where they saw various types of medical careers. But the most excitement came when students viewed a cadaver at Baylor. I actually picked up the man's heart! Senior Oscar Quintana said. Writ- ten by Missy Buckelew.
