Braces bring pain, smiles Brace face, train tracks, and metal mouth are phrases that strike an individual when they see metal shinning from someone's face. How bad could it have been to have braces? Sure, it must have hurt a little at first but was it worth it to suffer the pain so your teeth could be straight? Sophomore Danielle Robledo agrees that there is pain but was glad that she got braces. l knew that someday they would come off and they would have made a beautiful difference in my smile. l was willing to suffer the pain. Having braces brings the painful trips to the orthodontist to have the braces tightened. Before leaving to the orthodontist, people stuff themselves with food, because they know that upon their return they will not be able to eat. Robledo understood the terror of knowing what taking a bite of dinner meant, hours of discomfort. There was a plate full of my favorite food just staring at me and I had to refuse it due to the pain l would indure if l had eaten it, said Robledo. Along with receiving braces comes cuts in the inside of the mouth and the remembr- ance of being careful when kissing. Braces tend to make a person feel a little insecure because they play such an important part in one's appearance. However, it is either have braces and take on the challenge or learn to live with crooked teeth. Luckily, braces were invented so people with imperfect teeth could have a chance to repair them, and ultimately to improve their looks. lf crooked teeth are a problem for you, have no fear because braces are here. by Darlene Martin rv i A H? . fa. ,,.... 1 fx if ' x 'ii A

According to Chairman Travis Simmons, Safe Rides was a program to bring students who had been drinking home safely. Safe Rides had a toll-free number which any teenager in San Joaquin County could call. A dispatcher would recieve the call, and send a car to the teenager. There were always two people in the car, a driver and a navigator. The driver only had to have a car, insurance, and a license. According to Simmons, the Safe Rides cars were equipped with a CB radio, maps, a flashlight, and flares. Once the car arrived at its destination, the driver took the teen home with no questions asked. Parents were not informed or, if they asked questions, the driver and navigator could not answer. Q Tokay's team worked three days on three different weekends a month. They received one to two calls per night, and worked from 10 o'clock at night to 2 o'clock in the morning. Tokay's team rotated days and weekends with teams from other schools. The team picked up teens all over Stockton and Lodi, and when necessary, outside of that area. The central base of Safe Rides from San Joaquin County was in Stockton. The base was a business in Stockton who sponsored Tokay's Safe Rides program. Although the different teams of the pro- gram came from the different schools. It was not a school-based activity and there was not an adviser from the school. by Jill Stapleton if 9 11 E' 'ig WJ N , ., 4 Ji. A 1 ,, , r i I 1' H , 4 W . y N . 'NTU sf,-ra , . T 1' X 5 .
