“A ‘modern outlook to

“The ‘school is generally’ well-

+ SHSS Release

Fact: In B.C., the rate of
accidents caused by impaired
driving is higher than in any
other province in Canada.

.Fact: 26 per cent of all
highway deaths involve youths
16-20 years of age.

Fact: Alcohol is implicated
in half of these fatalities,

Given'such a set of statis-
tics, Stanley Humphries’ staff’
looked ahead to their gradua-
tion — a usual time of cele-
bration — and instituted a 1979
Grad Awareness Program as
part of. the attorney-general’s
Drinking-Driving Counter-
attack Program.

According to Marlene Wal-
lace, the SHSS teacher who has

on the. pi
learning assessment. program

“and special testing in mathe-

matics, the report said, aca-
demic standards are “generally
quite good" and above provin-
cial averages at SHSS. The
+ quality of instruction observed
was “very satisfactory" in all
. departments, it . said, “with
special strength in mathematics
and science.”
*" “The teaching staff is well-
qualified and on the whole are

d the program at
the school, the objective has
been simply to avert the kinds
of tragedy which occur as @
result .of mixing alcohol with
driving.

“We want to have a safe
Grad. We want to look Back on
this weekend with good memo-
ries, not sad ones."

Wallace has requested and
received support from a num-
ber of directions. The attorney-
general's department has pro-

vided posters, fi films and factual
information. RCMP represen-
tatives have met with the grad
class and have been speaking
on the local radio station.

A great number of local
businesses have offered their
support to help advertise the
program. Last, but most im-
portant, the grads themselves

‘have been involved in the

program.
“Students have been tap-
ing announcements to be play-

ed.on the local ‘radio station,” ~

said Wallace. “They've also in-
stituled a degree of  self-

_policing — the word is out that

drinking and driving on Grad
are not activities that should be
mixed together.”

With Grad a day away -

now, Wallace. and her ‘col-
leagues have their fingers
crossed that grads will use
some common sense that night
and during their weekend festi-
vities,

“We are really concerned,
We've watched these kids grow
up over the past few years —
we've gotten to know them. We
want them to have a good time
hut we also want to see them
next week.”
