Students Get Involved SADD SHOWES COMPASSION Every other Tuesday, SADD fStudents gainst Drunk Drivingj met to promote safe riving. The approximately 50 students eld their meetings in room 402, which was r. Bruce Dexter's room, SADD's advisor. Our SADD chapter had three main oals. They were to alert high school stu- ents to the dangers of drinking and driv- g, to conduct community awareness pro- rams, and to eliminate the drunk drivers nd save lives.

Presiding officers were at follows: President, Casey Chaseg Vice-President, Kevin Williamsg Secretary, Ira Estesg Trea- surer, Rick Cruz - Audrey Anderson Youth Educators Help Others PHS IUNIORS AND SENIORS GIVE DRUG EDUCATION Each year, a group of students from Pittsburg High School are cho- sen to participate in the Youth Edu- cators program. A program where teens go into the junior high's and talk to them about drugs, alcohol, and peer pressure. Youth Educators go through 50 hours of training and also give up one period of class time twice a week. It was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but it was all worth it. I didn't realize how at- tached I would get to the kids in my class, commented Evelyn Salazar, senior. The group worked together as a team. Since they spent so much time together preparing to go into the classrooms at the junior highs, they quickly made strong bonds of friendship with each other. Everyone got along because we all had a common goal, which was to prevent junior high kids from us- ing drugs and alcohol. Throughout the program all the Youth Educators became close. This is something I'm really proud of doing. The memories of me being a Youth Educator will last, but hopefully, what we taught will last longer, said Shari Lind, ju- nior. - Casey Chase YOUTH EDUCATORS Bottom row: R. Cuya and V.

EIGHT FLAG SAL UTE Flagtwirler members included: Angie Nazereta, Lynn Herren, Terri Nord, Carrisa Soriano, and Iamie Gaerlan. Spin and Win FLAGTWIRLERS AND MASCOT PROMOTE SPIRIT AROUND THE SCHOOL Spirited and hard working summed up our vivacious flag-twir- lers this year. The girls twirled and marched along with the band during half time at the football games. Their spirits were high, and their skills were perfected. It was hard, but the feeling you got from the crowd really made it special, stated Christine Douglas. Another newcomer to the spirit crowd was our spunky mascot, len- nifer Dimerob. She dressed in her Pirate outfit and chanted along with the cheerleaders to pep up the . . . FIagtWirIersfMascot crowd. I do it to promote school spirit, said Dimerob. And that it did. Crowds cheered along and got into the feel of victory right along with her. This great feel- ing aided P.H.S. to victory. Both the flagtwirlers and the mascot brought our spirit in the crowds at the football games, and made them memorable events. - Theresa Krut

Success of Clubs KEY CLUB CRASHES WHILE CHESS CLUB RISES During the membership drive, Key Club tried to attract new students. It was important to the club to get stu- dents who were task oriented to fulfill the club's objectives. The Key Club which usually par- ticipated in charities such as UNICEF and senior citizen dinners, found it had to meet their goals because of low par- ticipation. The enthusiasm of the Key Club's motto, Caring: Our way of life, along with the help of Advisor David Little- ton, allowed the club to maintain a maximum attendance of eighteen members. On the other hand, Chess Club was at it's best this year. Things got started in the right direction for the club, but the most unsuspecting item was the touraments and matches. Chess Club Advisor Ted Delmar com- mented, We had a lot of good player. The major events for the club were the San Raquel trip and the form- ing of the Chess Club at Hillview Iu- nior High School. The officers were: Dave Bohannon, President: David Sanchez, Vice President, and Allison Reed, Secretary. - Iulie Clark
