Hurting the Ones That Love You!” n

Page 14 text:

“You’re Not Just Hurting Yourself, You’re On October 28. 1988. Agawam High School dedicated a day to educating the student body on the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol. Peer Leadership, a group of students combined to educate their fellow students on the repercussions of irresponsible behavior, coordinated a mock accident on the lower driveway of the school. They did this with the help of the Red Cross, the Agawam Fire Department, and the Agawam Police Department. The portrayal came complete with rescue crews, ambu- lances. fire trucks, police patrol cars, injured and dead students (Peer Leadership partici- pants). and an empty case of beer. The details given to this theatrical production were not over-exaggerated, but quite accurate. In fact, of the six students, three played dead passengers, two played severely injured friends and one student, who had the fewest injuries and responsible thought, played the drunk driver. The Jaws of Life” were used on one of the cars involved and they added a dramatic effect to the entire scenario. “The purpose of this accident was to expose kids to what it’s really like. said Peer Leadership member and partaker. Chris Brunelle. The overall outlook is that this mock accident did have an affect on the students and faculty. A quick look at the crowd showed shed tears, heads turned from the grotesque scene, upset stomachs, and eyes locked on the action before them. As always, something as beneficial as this is overlooked by certain people. Usually, this is the group that needs to be made more aware of the problem. They cannot be helped. However, for those who appreciated the seriousness of the issue, there is hope. This portrayal, this mock accident, could easily be reality for some thousands of people every day. The effect of this mock accident can only be measured in the number of lives it has or will save. Don't become a statistic! Special thanks to Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Bertrand, without whom this production could not have been possible. 10
