K'P L'A'W ii... Objection, your Honor!...Sir, please limit your answers to yes or no on- ly...We the jury find the defendent... These are the sounds of the mock trials. Held before a room of specta- tors, these trials allow the students to display their knowledge of criminal law. The prosecution and defense teams each present their cases before a jury of their peers. Said one participant, The mock trials gave me a chance to see what being a lawyer is like...Sure, you can watch the movies or L.A. Law , but it's not the same as actually doing the research, or cross-examining a witness. l ORDER lN THE COURT! A bang of the gavel calls the court into session for Judge Jay Raxenberg. PERRY MASON, LOOK OUT: Attorneys Jon Goetz and Erica Howard find the best defense for their client. TWELVE ANGRY MEN: Carefully listening to the testimony, the jurors contemplate their decision. JUSTICE IS BLIND: But hopefully, not deaf, as the honorable Lauren Bauer instructs the jurors. ABSENCE OF MALICE: The star witness, Tim Griffin is ready to testify with confidence.

' rr K Ve .fl ti Peer pressure effects everyone, but high school students are particuarly subject to it Health teacher Mrs. Quigley recognized this and started Students for Students. The club visited the junior high school to talk to the pre-teens. Some of you think you may be forced to smoke or drink when you get to the high school, said secretary Sue Ankudavich. She em- phasized, no one will force you, and you don't have to be embarassed to resist. Under the leadership of President Marret Sand- berg and Vice President Amy Wang the group has made an impact on the community. As Dermot Coll put it, Just say no...you have to be yourself. STUDENTS FOR STUDENTS: Cathy Corcoran, Eric Gartenberg, Wendy Berkowitz, Lisa lnzone, Dermot Coll, Sue Ankudavich, Ken Ferazzi, Mary Birkel, Steve Goldberg, Jona- than Ziedman, Kathleen McAuley, Karen Murray, Christy Guidice and Marret Sandberg February 6. The debate team really capitalized on the home field advan- tage. Four members took home tro- phies and qualifications. They were Dan Kessler, Steve Lustig, Matt Tratner and Brett Scharpf. The team ran an efficient and successful tournament. Debate Tourn.!Students for Students , I if I Q ,. g Q

This familiar declara- tion could have been decreed by any junior in reference to the impending SAT's. With the school's traditional scheduling finesse, the PSAT's ended up on the same day as homecoming. Weary students clamped number two pencils between their teeth, while jug- gling photo l.D., registration tickets and pom poms. This was the first step towards a successful future: filling out little dots in an aesthetically pleasing pattern. The next step was finding an equally l pleasing college. Only this time, the ' Q college had to be just as pleased with I q 4' you. For many the high school college A - fair was the answer jfor others it was . :f an easy way to get out of class while dt:-5 1 . still looking productivet. Certain stu- . -pn-, 1 dents took advantage of the opportu- 'T ' nity to learn about life at the schools .wx A 31 they were interested in.
