Still others didn ' t really think about it. One group decided to do some- thing about it. They called them- selves S.A.D.D. (Students Against Driving Drunk). S.A.D.D. had many goals. Their main purpose was to wipe out the problem of drinking and driving. To stay active, members at- tended weekly meetings. They were also required to sign a con- tract with their parents stating that they wouldn ' t drive drunk or ride with a drunk driver. When asked why she became a member of Students Against Driving Drunk, Junior DeAnne Goertz said, I joined because, 1 think it is a good program. Hope- fully we can save some lives. In their second year, the Stu- dents Against Driving Drunk chap ter held many fundraisers. They held a poster contest, spon- sored the homecoming dance, passed out Halloween suckers, so- licited pledges to sophomores to encourage them to join, and died during the ghost-out. When asked about S.A.D.D.s ultimate goal. President Jennifer Comstock said, Their purpose was to make CHS a school against driving drunk. Involvement 169

Eack Tc Easics Man) students trit-d the college bound or vocational graduation programs. When it came right down to it, everyone had to meet the same requirements. To graduate, students needed three years of social studies, two years of physical education, two years of math, three years of Eng- lish, one year of science, and a half year ot health. The Social Studies credits were filled by- taking geogra- phy World History, U.S. History and, U.S. Government in the sophomore, junior, and senior years, respectively. Physical Education require- ments were filled by taking two years of marching band, P.E., or ROTC. A combination of any of these courses could be used to fill the requirements. Many students went beyond the two years of math and took Al- gebra II or trigonometry. In most cases, science credits had already been filled before sophomores had entered the high school. Courses in natural sci- ences, physical and chemical sci- ences could be taken as electives. To fill English credits, courses in English I and English II were required, but creative writing, science fiction, multi media, Eng- lish III, rhetoric, Bible study, nov- els, or speed reading were avail- able to fill the final credit. A half year of health taken in the senior year was the final re- quirement. Students who fulfilled these re- quirements by the end of their senior year, found themselves holding a graduation diploma. t fp Miliie Sprague tries to help O. J. Sanchez complete his assignment.

1 Justice For M While attending a one week conference, students in Girls ' and Boys ' State experienced first hand the rigorous lives of government officials in a mock government. The students were given fictitious deficits, decisions and bills which they, as governors, senators, and representatives, tried to solve in the same manner that it would have been done by the State of Nevada. To be a participant in Girls ' and Boys ' State, students had to be nominated by a faculty member; also, their grades and leadership ability were taken heavily into consideration. Mr. Norm Scoggin, advisor, met with each individual stu- dent, as opposed to speaking to the group as a whole, to find out how each person was do- ing with their role. Mr. Scoggin said, They learn a lot and contribute it to the government of this school. The purpose of this pro- gram was to instill a cogni- zance of state roles in the stu- dents by letting them form their own opinions by expe- riencing the offices them- selves. GIRLS.
