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 .

The final outcome was what everybody saw, but what was really behind the scenes? The makeup for the girls and the hair for the guys took a long time, but the actual night started when the guy picked up the girl. That one task was more nerve racking then the dinner or the dance. Mothers took pictures after pictures while the fathers rambled on about how their little girl had grown-up. ln one instance the grandmother and grandfather took more time talking about themselves than their granddaughter. They sat and talked about their first date. l was so embarrassed when they started that. I wanted to crawl into a corner, said senior Jennifer Lupul. After escaping the flashing cameras, the dreaded dinner awaited them. The girl was terrified of spilling food on her dress, and the guy tried to think of a conversation to make the meal go faster. Once the meal was finished the couple felt a little more comfort- able and were off to their dance. Once again they were on the road, the place of the dance next and final on the list. Slowly but surely they walked gracefully to the front of the doors and then it happened: I was walking to the doors and before l knew it, l stepped on my dress and it came half way off. l was so embarrassed, said senior Celeste Hernandez. The rest of the dance was a success and both the girl and the guy were looking forward to the next one. by Kimberly Banghart fir l
