86 SADD Awareness promoted by SADD group Students Against Driving Drunk CSADDJ was organized for the first time at Round Rock High School this year. The group was organized to publicize the dangers of drinking and driving both to the students and to the community. This year SADD tried to influence students against driving while drinking by making special announcements and putting up posters during Christmas, Spring Break and at the end of the school year. The group made a short presentation during the Sophomore Talent Show with Hugh Lewis, Channel 24 sportscaster, and group organizer Glenda Bolt speaking about the seriousness of the problem. Following the assembly members of the group handed out copies of SADD's Contract for Life. As a fundraiser, the group made com- puter Valentine cards and had a special message printed on each, Keep your love life alive-Don't drink and drive. SADD officers were Kelly Drifmeyer, president, Sandra Sikes, vice president, Amy Waldecker, secretary, Dana Decker, treasurer and Shane McGee, Student Council representative. Sponsor Sam Todd said of the group, We've made a difference because many students have reported signing con- tracts fContracts for Life? with their parents. sms a -rvi-: X' Y Tiny Barsby, sophomore, receives a Contract for Life from sophomore Laura Dixon.

Semester courses benefit students Health and Driver's Education courses were only one semester in length, however, they benefitted the students daily. Health helped students become more aware of the importance of having a healthy body and healthy mind and to know the op- tions that are offered to them. This year, there were several new topics discussed in the health classes in- cluding units on mental health, child abuse and serious diseases. These were added to make the students more aware of the real-life situations facing them daily. Richard Balderas, sopho- more, commented on the taken. Driver's Education taught the students how to control and manuever a car and to become familiar with driving safety rules while behind the wheel. According to Melissa Bryson, sophomore, Driver's Education made me more aware of the risk of not wearing my seatbelt. There were no major changes in the Driver's Education classes, however, several new teachers were added for teaching classroom simulations and a summer school course was added for those students unable to fit it into their fall schedules. Johnny Richie, Carl Hasser and Carl Spruill assisted with class by saying, Health was these simulations. an interesting course to have Nicky Magrone, freshman, practices Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation QCPRJ on a manequin during her health class.

PE facilities expanded Expansion of dressing facilities was the main difference in the physical education department this year. The locker rooms were expanded, painted and repaired. New lockers were also installed. PE is required by the state, but itis mainly to keep students in good physical condition. A good student is physically fit and academically stable,', said Coach Jeanne Cleckler. The classes participated in many dif- ferent sports throughout the year in- cluding volleyball, flag football, tennis, softball, basketball, soccer and various types of dance. Cathye Fuchs, PE in- structor, hoped to add badminton and archery next year. All classes contained students from ,, w.,wLMN- W 'A W. ,.,,., , aw, W1 mixed grade levels, but according to Fuchs, We hope to have separate classes for freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors next year. Three times a year, each class par- ticipated in a physical fitness test called The American Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance KAAHPERDJ. By taking part in this, they were included in a national survey determining the average strength of each age group. This test measured the physical agility, running, jumping and strength of the student. There were six separate tests included. They were the standing long jump, the 50-yard dash, the shuttle run, sit-ups, the 600-yard walk-run and the flexed arm hang for girls and pull-ups for boys.
