SADD chapter is organized A chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving was form- ed at Forest Park this year. Picture 1 shows sponsors Mr. Rock Emmert and Mr. Rick Allen conducting the organiza- tional meeting in September. Wayne Brinkman was presi- dent of the newly-formed club, and Greg Durcholz was vice- president. The purposes of SADD are to encourage students to make intelligent choices about drinking, to promote understan- ding between students and parents, and to discourage students from driving if they have been drinking. SADD held an “alcohol free” dance on May 11, 1986. This was the first school dance to be held outside. It was held on the tennis courts. All-Stars speak to younger kids The All-Stars is a group of outstanding high school athletes who care about how alcohol affects younger children. These athletes give talks to sixth and seventh graders on how the misuse of alcohol can affect them. The All-Stars learn how to present their message in training ses- sions given through the county-wide All-Stars program. The 1985-86 All-Stars were (picture 2) front row, Tam- my Hoffman, Cindy Wagner, Ann Schwoeppe and Lynn Wagner, back row, Todd Hoge, Brian Klem, Stan Wendholt and Duane Laake.

Outdoor Adventure Club is a learning experience The Outdoor Adventure Club went on three outings this year. They went hiking at Hemlock Cliffs in the fall. In the winter they went skiing at Paoli Peaks. They also went cano- ing on the Blue River on June 8, 1986. “Everyone had a fun time on the trips,” said club member Leslie Schnell. “They were a learning experience.” “It was hard to get all the students in Outdoor Adventure Club together at one time because most of them were also in- volved in sports and other activities,” said Mr. Jim Hagedorn, sponsor. 1.
