S.A.D.D. Strives to End Drunk Driving Every 23 minutes, someone is killed by a drunk driver. . . one-half of all fatal accidents involve alcohol ... 25 states do not even prohibit drinking while driv- ing. These and other frightening facts are of the many used by Students Against Driving Drunk (S.A.D.D.), a stu- dent group aimed to educate students concerning the problem of drinking and driving. The group, led by Advisor Mr. Thomas Conlon, was formed in September, 1983 and continued to grow as more and more students became aware of the problem of alcohol. S.A.D.D. was strongly involved with the Monmouth County Student Task Force and encouraged parental and other adult assistance in its campaign to save lives ' Officers included Presi- dent jason Simon, Vice-President Mark Costa, Treasurer Mary Riegelman, and Secretary Lisa Clark. One of the group's goals was to alert students of the dangers of drinking and driving, and, as President lason Simon clarified, we are not trying to stop people from drinking, we are trying to stop the combination of drinking and driving. )Yrw HOLIDAY DONT OR Top Left Seniors lason Simon, JoAnne Acerra, and Debbie Lux review some important statistics at the S.A.D.D display during the 1984 Parent's Open House.
