A new club this year was SADD, Students Against Driving Drunk. Under the supervision of Mrs. Barbara Corbett, Business Education teacher, and Robbi Quinn, SADD president, this club made the students aware of the risks in- volved in drunken driving. Their big project was the school assembly held in October in the auditorium. Guest speakers were present to voice their own personal experiences with drunken driving, and the sheriff ' s department brought a destroyed Fiero along, the result of drunken driv- ing. The purpose of SADD is to make the students aware of the risks they take when they drink and drive, Quinn stated. Not only are they jeopardizing their own life, but lives they may come in contact with. KEY CLUB The Key Club was the Kiwanis sponsonl organization led by Mr. Tom Reid. This organiz- tion helped to better the school and community bji number of projects. Besides helping the Unitd Methodist Church and the SADD program, the K Club also helped the canned food drive t Christmas, ushered at Open House, and hadi school beautification program.
