Help Is a Phone It’s 1:30 A.M. The phone rings at the PAL hall. “Hello, SAFERIDES.” And yet another rider and driver are sent off to a wild party to give a safe ride home to a drunk student. Every Friday and Saturday night this year, a group of students and a parent volunteer got together at the PAL hall from 10:30 P.M. to 2 A.M. Be- sides playing games and pigging out, the volunteers waited for Adam Richman informs staff of upcoming events, (above) Amanda Davis and )en McGuinness at meeting. 22 Clubs Activities

OPEN HOUSE “where’s room 217?” Open House proved to be a confus- ing evening for many of the parents. Emily Davies, who helped parents find their way, said, “Most of the parents wondered how their children ever found their way around the school.” The classes, which were only ten minutes long, were just long enough for the parents to get a good idea of what their children’s teachers were like. “Open House is an interesting experience. It enables you to put faces with the names of teachers whom your child either laughs at or complains about,” said Mrs. Ash about the eve- ning. Between classes, the parents had many options for their free time: talk to their childrens’ teachers, enjoy re- freshments in the cafeteria, or take a stroll through the lobby and view the numerous activities which were set up. Among those activities which were represented at Open House were: Schreiber Times, Human Relations Committee, Kaleidoscope, and Port Light. (left) loan Corbo represented the Honor Society.

Call Away phone calls from drunk students. The calls averaged five each night, and since the program was insti- tuted, there have been no drunk driving accidents involving stu- dents in Port Washington. Many of the expenses for SAFERIDES were paid in part by the candygram sale and the car wash which proved to be lucrative. One hundred students participated in the program.
