AD Convo Leads To New Club- John Reed brought tears to the crowd of DeKalb students and faculty members. The convocation started the DHS chapter of SADD. Mr. Reed and his wife spoke of what happened to them and those around them when he drove drunk and tragically killed little one-year-old Natalie. It was the beginning of SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk). The group got off to a fast start. Head- ed by Mrs. Tita Gordon, SADD estab- lished a hot line for prom and graduation and also started SCS (Students Caring for Students). Broken down into three levels, SCS started with students seeing other students during a study hall to talk about the problems of using alcohol and drugs. The second level of SCS was one that had SADD members associated with drug and alcohol troubled clients of the Northeast Center. Lastly, the third level had 18-year- old or older SADD SCS members receiv- ing three hours of instruction from the Northeast Center’s addiction councelor, Linn Lambert. It wasn’t all work and no play. On May 17 many of the SADD members went to Cedar Point to spread the SADD spirit by wearing their SADD buttons. Plans were also put in motion for a trip to New York in the following year. Another SADD tra- dition was begun with the senior break- fast which was held April 25 at Ponder- osa. John Reed not only brought out the im- portance of combatting drinking and driving. He also brought a great new or- ganization to DHS. Top: It wasn’t easy to talk about, but John Reed told Barons what happened to him and his family when he got behind the wheel of his car after drinking.

A C Groups Help Students Grow Junior Achievement and Campus Life have come a long way here at DeKalb. Each has developed the idea of bringing knowledge to the students and having fun at the same time. Campus Life brought both of its annual convocations to the high school. This year’s Mousehole group, Sideshow, rocked the Barons out of class for a mag- nificent performance. After viewing Si- deshow at school, many DeKalb students were seen at the Mousehole clapping their hands and having fun. The other great show Campus Life presented was “The Prize.”” The show, displayed on three screens, impressed everyone with the music and messages that it gave. Junior Achievement has given to many students the knowledge of running a small business. JA was brought about through the help of sponsoring companies such as Dana, Rieke, Cooper, and Magna- vox. These corporations help young Ju- nior Achievement groups get off on the right foot. Working hard to produce their own perfect product really paid off. A few of the JA members even got trophies for their efforts. ee Both Campus Life and Junior achieve- ¢ | ment have brought knowledge and fun to —— many DHS students.
