A SB Counters Drunk Driving With Safe Ride Program The number one killer of teenagers continues to be alcohol related automobile accidents. Six teenagers a day, on the average, will die from motor vehicle crashes caused by drun-keness at the wheel and another 40,000 will be injured each year. Combining these statistics with the data compiled from a drug and alcohol survey indicating high usage among LO students, the ASB Cabinet instituted Safe Ride. This program offers students who are intoxicated, or whose ride is intoxicated, a free and confidential ride home on Friday and Saturday nights. Headed by Mike Bacon and Greg Dorsey, and Liz Dexter from Lakeridge, Safe Ride soon Safe Ride worker and 1985-86 Coordinator Jill Vessely answers an urgent call. gained widespread community support.

Effective Student Government At LO The bell rings to end third period. After going to their lockers most students head off to fourth period classes. A select few, however, proceed to the choir room to engage in a productive senate meeting. As they trickle into the room, they walk by the front table to pick up agendas, bills and other handouts. The ASB President Michael Bacon eyes them impatiently, anxious to begin the meeting. Finally he bellows Alright let’s get started! Would everybody please rise for the flag salute. The formalities taken care of, Bacon calls on Beau Harlan to present his Dead Half Week bill concerning semester exams. Debate over the bill is limited. As discussion comes to a close. Bacon calls for previous question. The bill is voted on and passes unanimously. Principal Bill Korach asks to be recognized in order to make a comment about the bill. He explains that he thought the bill was excellent, but he wanted to discuss it at the Joyce Thurick retreat before signing it. He commends the Senate for a job well done. This bill exemplifies one of the major changes in school policy that the student senate has attempted to make. Other legislation included due process in tardy policy and petitioning to change the date of a semester exam. The Senate has grown to become an effective part of the decision making process at the school and better communication between the staff, the student leaders, and the student body. Moving on in the agenda. Bacon calls for the good of the order. Instantly, several hands shoot up. A couple of people want to know when the next dance is going to be. Michelle Boring gives dates for Mayfete. Junior class President Andrew Ragen, responding to a question about Prom, says, Well, we haven't quite finalized our negotiations with the band, but I’m sure we will find one sooner or later.” Finally the meeting is adjourned just as the bell rings for fifth period.
