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.

FBLA' Ahq J-ffnigf .fgiqhi-5Em51H'i'- ' -L: - There's No Business Like Our Business In the future, our world will be run by ourselves as well as our peers. Social aspects will be molded as well as eco- nomics which is equitable in impor- tance. Businesses are a major compo- nent of the economic world. Under the guidance of well equipped leaders, busi- nesses enable our economy to decline or progress. The Future Business Leaders of America and Junior Achievement are two clubs, that are keyed in to aiding students interested in business, spon- sored numerous activities for its mem- bers. They participated in county and district competitions, such as typing, accounting, and office procedures. In October, FBLA members held a Hal- loween party for the pediatric ward at All decked out for FBLA . . , On initiation day for FBLA, Julie Rigsby, Jennifer Phillips and show everyone that they support FBLA.

When the month of Novem- ber rolled around, bringing with it the festive holiday season, FBLA donated food and toys to a needy family and performed carols for the patients at a nursing home. FBLA week was in Feb- ruary. FBLA's annual fashion show and the election of a new president. Junior Achievement goes a step fur- ther in shaping businessmen and wom- en. Over the course of 15 weeks, the Achievers form their own company in which they buy stock. The company dis- tributes a product whose profits in- crease the value of the company's stock. This year they sold several products: handmade Christmas ornaments, lolli- pops, and senior t-shirts. They profited over a thousand dollars. At the end of the 15 weeks, the stock is liquidated, allowing the stockholders to receive dividends. Earning money from one's company is quite an incentive and it goes directly back to the achievers. Last year Pine Forestis J.A. compa- ny, Universal Trends, won company of the year for Eastern Carolina. This year, Prospects Unlimited, hoped to do as well. Both FBLA and Junior Achievement go hand in hand. Though they have many differences, the concept is the same. There's a bright future in busi- ness, and there's no business like our business.
