Consequences stiff 'Few minutes of fun not worth penalty, i officer says. Mrs. Janna Ward, former narcotics officer for the Beaumont Police Department visited Mrs. Lou Fan- ning's third period business law class. She came not to preach about using drugs, but to detail the consequences if a person was arrested on a drug or alcohol related charge. i'Selling or delivering large amounts of drugs, even marijuana can get you a life or death penalty, she said.

The seller's fine is usually a great deal more. Teenagers should make a con- scious decision about using drugs. I feel it is necessary to learn the conse- quences of your actions before you act, not afterwards when itls too late. A prison sentence is a high price to pay for a few minutes of fun, Mrs. Ward stressed.l Not a week went by that business teacher Mrs. Lou Fanning didn't arrange for a guest speaker to visit her classes.
