Taking The Initiative Saferide was formed to prevent the tragedy which can occur when teenagers drink and drive. Saferide helps prevent this tragedy from occuring by offering Lakeridge and Lake Os- wego high school teams a saferide” home. This organization has been in operation for many years now, and has been quite successful. Safer- ide president Lindsay Nicol commented, we’ve had less people calling on weekends but we believe that that is due to more students taking responsibility and appointing a designated driv- er. If all goes well, West Linn High School may join with the Saferide charter making it larger, and more able to reach more students. By Pete Gutwald A new anti- drinking and driving campaign was started at Lakeridge. The group is called S.A.D.D. or Students Against Driving Drunk. Those who become S.A.D.D. members receive a contract which both students and parents sign. The contract states that if the student ever has too much to drink he or she may call the parent and the parent will pick the student up-no questions asked. The family can then discuss what happened in the morning. The contract also states that if the parent has ever had too much to drink that they too find safe transpor- tation home. S.A.D.D. was just formed at the beginning of the second semester this year. The turn-out at the meetings was every encouraging, and hopefully S.A.D.D. will be in full swing for next year. by Pete Gutwald BE SAFE NOT SORRY Friday Saturday Nights 10 pm-2 am SAFE RIDE • 241-SAFE Sponsored by the Lions Club and the YMCA 1 SAFERIDE CORE COMMITTEE.

Capitol Mill Every year Lakeridge students have the op- portunity to participate in an educational trip to Washington D.C. Students who took part in 1988’s trip are Kurt Fuller, Jennifer Nem- hauser, Kristina Firsich, Ken Farer and Shannon Hagens chaperoned by Elwood Os- trom. These Five students from Lakeridge got a bird’s-eye view of how our government is run. During the week, students got a close up view of the U.S. government by taking tours of places such as the Pentagon, Senate and the House of Representatives. The Close-Up stu- dents also met Congressman Denny Smith and many other important members of our govern- ment. The Lakeridge students spent time visit- ing memorials, museums, and Capitol Hill. All in all, these five Lakeridge students not only had a great time but spent an educational week in Washington D.C. learning about our govern- ment. 24 CLOSE-UP
