Rule Benders by Judy Friede Who said, Rules were meant to be broken? Although the author of this statement may be unknown, students at CHS generally agreed with it. Although they weren't too drastic in their rule breaking, students did bend some rules a wee bit. Some of their best efforts included curfew breaking, drinking, and speeding. Most students enjoyed late nights out on the town with friends. Consequently, curfew was one of the most often bent regulations. Because students were having so much fun, they could not tear themselves away from the gossiping in Buttery's parking lot, from cruising, or from visiting Havre. Then, some students decided to wait for their girlfriends in volleyball past curfew. As a result, some of these students did get to add a few miles to their personal odometers by having to run approximately 100 up-and-overs as a penalty. Unfortunately, one of the most often broken rules was the drinking rule. This, of course, was a ritual for some students on weekends, while others used drinking to drown their sorrows, which never seemed to work. Although some athletes did indulge with friends, thus breaking training rules as well, not very many drank repeatedly. Basically students saw drinking as a form of socialization, or drank after succumbing to peer pressure. Although the fallacy is obvious, students still believed they had to drink to have fun. However, with a new support group developed to help alleviate problem drinking, students hoped to discourage drinking for that reason. The support group was modeled after the Montana Teenage Institute seminar attended by Jeanette Frantal, Brenda Moxley, and Chandra Zarn, who returned to Chinook enthusiastic about helping their peers deal with all adolescent pressures. The girls encouraged their peers to share their feelings at support group meetings working under the premise that by sharing, some of the weight of depression could be lifted from their shoulders; therefore, eliminating the need to drink to ease stress. Interest in the group rose over time, and eventually six additional students were selected to attend the summer Institute seminar. Nikki Gebert, Christina Elliot, Becky Graff, Jody Farmer, Jim Finley, and Mike Jergeson attended the seminar under the sponsorship of various churches and service groups in Chinook. T.R. Olson, Dawn Marchuck, and Erika Hewittljlwere selected as alternates. Finally, the thrill of speeding and seeing if they could get away with it, entertained many rule benders. Some did get caught, as cops were often sent to monitor traffic going to hot lunch, while others continued to test their luck. Students generally tried to justify their crime with such excuses as getting up late, running behind schedule, or having chronic lead foot! Obviously, we had fun. Hopefully we can continue enjoying ourselves without getting into too much trouble. Most of us didn't consider black and white striped clothing fashionable, nor did we want to spend our hard earned money paying Fines! top- Erin Ramberg s clandestine behavior makes her pefectly innocent call home look illegal, or is that the police you r calling bottom- J.D.
