With this in mind, one future drive, Maureen Troy, expressed her opinion: 'lPeople who drive should be on the look-out be- cause there are certain drivers who abuse road laws. Another view was expressed by Chrissy Savastano, who believed that how one drove depended on one's car. She said, There are some people who fool around and do not take driving a car se- riously. lt can get worse when there are more people in the car.f' These individuals who fooled around were the drivers who cut people off, rode bumpers and sped frantically through the break-dovm lane when there was a traffic jam. Their destinations were irrelevant: it was getting there quickly that thrilled them. To them, driving 55 miles per hour was a suggestion, not the law. These drivers flew through stop signs and red lights, assuming that it was the other driver's responsibility to stop. Elena Pandaru decided that, Today people must drive defen- sively in order to be safe. There- fore, you must take the neces- sary precautions, such as wear- ing your seat belt. Cheryl Wajdowicz, who was involved in a Hfender-bender type of acci- dent in October of 1986, com- mented, l'l believe everyone ' X k X should wear their seat belts be- cause ifl did not have mine on, l would have been seriously in- jured. The other driver in the accident was not wearing hers, and was slightly hurt as a result. Was there a certain group of people who were to blame for misusing these laws or was it just certain individuals? Did teenagers who cause the most accidents or did the elderly or perhaps the middle-aged? That question was a difficult one to answer because some accidents were never reported since the drivers involved settled out of court, while some others were classic hit-and-run accidents. Ultimately, the reason behind an accident did not really matter. lt was important to know that de- fensive driving helped prevent such accidents and near-misses. One needed to expect the unex- pected. WN . .Q E. 5 M...-W X d1iiN..,. Y X.

Every Friday a group of students worked diligently, applying that extra elbow grease while eye- ing the clock. They were the members of the work study pro- gram. Sr. Carol Sansone, director of work study this year, gave each member a calender to mark off the number of hours they com- pleted. ln addition, a quarterly report was sent home to the par- ents to inform them how many hours their daughter had left. Each student received 5500.00 in exchange for 125 hours of work. l'Work study helped my par- ents out a lot. I felt good about that, said Denise Simmonds. lt was like cleaning your own house, commented Alicia Mar- tone. Students were each as- signed to work at a particular area in the school. Jobs ranged from dusting furniture to mop- ping floors in the science lab. And even like cleaning at home, Spring rolled around and the windows had to be washed. 'llt certainly made things easier when everyone showed up, said Sr. Carol, 'lespecially around the dreaded window cleaning time. But life in the work study pro- gram wasn't all work and no play. lts members enjoyed pizza parties, soda, cake, and listened to music in-between washing glassware in the science labs. Al- though work study sometimes promoted dish-pan hands, its members nonetheless enjoyed special moments. These times were shared between the mem- bers at the ceremonial close ofa year well-done. This annual par- ty included pizza, soda and remi- nisces of the year gone by. But the students weren't al- ways working. A welcomed inter- ruption to work study was the fif- teen-minute break. lt was just enough time to catch a second wind before heading back. A round of applause was owed to its members for doing a greatjob in keeping our school clean. That was something one could not always find in our mechani- cal world: dedication.
