Club Begun In the spring of '87, Johnsburg students began a new club. Students Against Driving Drunk. Driver's Ed. instructor Dave Dombroski is the adviser of the group. More than 100 students expressed an interest in joining the organization. Already, the Johnsburg chapter of S.A.D.D. has helped sponsor a number of activities designed to increase awareness about the problem of drunk driv- ing. The week before prom, a smashed-up auto- mobile was displayed in front of school to illustrate one consequence of drunk driving. A week later, the Freshman Class and S.A.D.D. held a car smash in front of the school. Students could take three wacks at an auto with a sledge hammer for a dollar. Club members began planning activities for the next school year. Among possible activities are a drive to get parents to sign a pledge dealing with alcohol and parties, a dance, a program for primary and middle school children, and an effort to raise money to sponsor a billboard. Statistics claim that on the average, a person is killed almost every 20 minutes somewhere in the United States by a drunk driver. Sophomore Paul Bjerning takes a heavy swing at an auto during the car smash. Senior Dave Corbeil steps up to the plate . Math teacher Todd Lewison takes out his frustrations on the car. 22 S.A.D.D.

The last strains of music die away and the auditorium fills with applause. The spring musical. Hello. Dolly! ' is a success. After nine long weeks of late practices, the cast finally displayed their finished product in the form of an excellent performance. The play tells the story of Dolly Levi, a matchmaker, played by senior Wendy Boe- lens. She is employed by Horace Vander- gelder (Senior Chad Bear), a wealthy store owner, to find him a wife. But Dolly has other plans in mind. She sets up an engagement between Horace and Mrs. Irene Molloy (Sen- ior Linda Maiorca), a hatmaker. However, Dolly manages to pull a few strings and breaks up that arrangement. Then she con- vinces Horace that he really does want to marry Dolly, and no one else. Throughout all of this, Dolly sets up other romances for Mrs. Molloy and her assistant. In the end, there are several marriages, all set up by Dolly, including her own. This production, directed by Roger Zawacki, was the most expensive musical ever produced at JHS and included over 100 costumes for twenty-eight cast members.
