IDS:Students Face Facts Acquired immune deficien- cy syndrome, AIDS. More than 50,000 cases had been report- ed in the United States by 1987, yet another 1.5 million people were believed to be carrying the virus. By 1991, it was estimated by the Depart- ment of Health and Human Services that 179,000 people would die from AIDS. How will society cope with this epidemic? PPIH has al- ready taken one step. Mrs. high school students believed AIDS could only happen to gays or that they could con- tract it through kissing or ca- sual contact, when in fact, AIDS was only transmitted by blood transfusion,to a fetus during pregnancy, through sexual contact, or by using a unsterile hypodermic needle, and could be prevented.

Every morning, adviser Mr. Dave Hall and students from his first hour class sold donuts until third hour. These students at- tended school for four to five hours and then went to work. The district required them to work 20 hours a week, halfof the hours dur- ing the school week. ln ap- preciation of their employ- ers, students held a ban- quet at the Flaming Pit us- ing the donut sales money. Each employer received a dinner and placque from his or her employee. Field trips to such busin- esses as Busch Brewery and the General Motors plant were taken to observe factory work.
