Students in SADD are concerned about the number of people killed in accidents that are al- cohol related. In the fall, the SADD chapter sent four repre- sentatives to Shanty Creek Schuss Mountain resort to the Michigan SADD Conference. Other SADD chapters from all over Michigan attended to bring back ideas to their schools. The members attended special sessions to give them suggestions on ac- tivities to do at their school. The four attend- ing members were presi- dent Alison Hoeg, Tri- sha Aldrich, Laura Bennett, and Jennifer Mulford. The SADD group also shared a dance with the .schools Varsity Club.

Return To The Emerald City This was the first time in years that Prom has been at the high school. It turned out great compared to past years, stated John Kenley. It looked better than I expected. The Prom committee consisting of junior class members, began planning for this very special occasion way back in September. At that point in time, all they knew was the theme. From September to May the gym un- derwent a major transformation. The best thing Jenny Owen liked about prom was, The breathtaking red sparkly shoe centerpieces. They made me feel like clicking my shoes and saying, there ' s no place like prom! An overwhelming number of students at- tended, return to Emerald City. The expec- tation was extremely high. Everyone was so excited to see what was going on behind the closed doors. They wanted to peek in the gym but no one was allowed. The underclassmen were allowed to partici- pate this year. Michelle Steelman among oth- ers had a role in our festive evening playing the cowardly lion. I thought it looked pretty good myself, she stated. I think we had just enough decorations. To help with the cost, several students helped with bottle drives, and pennies for prom, set up in the school store, and in the cafeteria. Some other fundraisers were dances and the faculty basketball game.
