Challenge '88 On a warm autumn's Saturday in 1987, people who happened to pass by Pine Forest Senior High may have been surprised by the amount of noise com- ing from the school. Why was it so loud? Didn't students have the day off? These thoughts would cross the mind of the innocent passersby for a brief second, and then be immediately for- gotten. But for those students, teachers, advisers, and lecturers who were inside the school, Friday, November 13 would be a date to remember. For on this day a great step was taken in the history of SADD. Although this was a spectacular event, it was only one of many spon- sored by the ever growing Pine Forest SADD Chapter. Dances and Domino's Pizza were just a few of the other things Pine Forest SADD contributed to the teenage population. Still, everything was done with two goals in mind: to bs make people aware of the dangers of driving while impaired, and to reduce the number of students that die yearly in alcohol related accidents. Great creations often have humble beginnings but from the first, Pine For- est students made SADD the largest organization in the school. The next year our 1200 member SADD Chapter made us the largest in the nation for the 3rd consecutive year. Sponsor Donnie Dees says We wanted to be a chapter in more than name only. For that you have to keep members interested. From the beginning in 1985, Donnie Dees with the help of Cathy Culbreth and Mike Goff has worked to make SADD a prominent factor in student life. SADD meetings have the highest attendance of any organization. This is attributed to the unique assortment of lecturers and presentations. Such speakers as victims of drunk drivers, lawyers, and judges are among the many welcomed into the great halls of Pine Forest. Obviously these techniques are affec- tive since our Students Against Drunk Driving quickly became the example for all other schools. Our fame was ac- companied by recognition by the mayor and an invitation to the governorfs man- sion. Realizing that most drunk driving ac- cidents occur at New Years, Prom Night, and Graduation, SADD offers alternatives to the most hazardous events. By keeping students entertained and out of trouble, SADD strives to bring the annual death rate down from 8000 in 1981 to below 1000. With the support it receives from our student body it should very well succeed.
