.-4 - 4 . Assemblies stress dangers of drug abuse by Laura Mast Assemblies, ranging from serious and informative to peppy and sometimes silly, added a touch of variety to the school year. The serious got you thinking and the peppy got you yelling. Both types of assemblies were fun to go to and well remembered. Screaming masses of spirited people characterized the pep assemblies. Cheerleaders boosted the spirits of many, supporting upcoming games. Class chants got everyone involved in trying to out-yell the oth- ers. Games such as relay races and the human snake brought out teammates of the different sports com- peting for first place. Pep assemblies are exciting, they get everyone involved with whatever is going on, said junior Wes Jensen. On a more serious note, S.A.D.D., Students ,nv ,v ' Above Billie Cutting, junior, helps raise spirit at pep assembly. Right Students cheer as Freedom jam play the hottest songs out. QPhotos by Steve Yeej Against Drunk Driving, put on several assemblies. Informative and serious, but interesting these assem- blies made students more aware of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. They made the students think about the actual danger in even just recrea- tional as well as constant use of either substances. A slide-reel presentation on drinking and doing drugs brought these problems out into modern terms. In this presentation, there were teens talking about their own contacts with drugs and their re- sults. Set to modern music and in a rock video type style, the message came across loud and clear. USADD supports a very good cause. Hopefully they have a positive effect on students, said senior Mi- chelle Margolies. Freedom jam, an independent rock group that performs at different schools all over America, came to our campus and played at an assembly. Their message of just being yourself and say no to drugs was brought out plain and simple. Freedom Jam expressed the same message but with a different twist,,' said senior Cyndy Breslau. At another assembly, Mark Scharenbroich shared his ideas with everyone, with a touch of comedy. He talked about not trying to be anything you aren't, just be yourself. He also talked about not judging others, give everyone a chance. He was really good! That was the best assembly we have had so far, said senior Laurie Brown. From serious to peppy, assemblies really got the students involved with school wide activities. Whether they were sad, fun, or funny they really made everyone think of the issues at hand. sa.
