P-T students to take part
in drug and alcohol survey
No reply means consent.
That's the main idea Dr. Ellen
Dickson, PTHS counselor, wants
to get across to parents with the
approach of a drug and alcohol
survey which will be given to
middle and high school students.
On Nov. 22, students, seventh
through the 12th grades, will be
taking an anonymous survey to find
out the extent of drug and alcohol
pmnamity.mems among the youth in our
The survey to be used is called
"The American Drug and Alcohol
Survey." It was developed after
more than 10 years of research by
prevention specialists at Colorado
State University who are nationally
recognized for their work in the
drug and alcohol field. Almost one
million students have taken this
survey nationwide. The information
collected will be provided to the
school district by grade.
The survey is anonymous and
no student's name will appear
anywhere on this survey or in the
report.
This information will help school
staff in the evaluation of current
drug prevention programs and in
planning new programs.
The survey contains questions
asking students about their beliefs
and experiences regarding drugs
and alcohol and other factors
that may relate to substance use.
Students will take the survey all
at the same time during a regular
class period. The students are
not identified by name. They do
not write their names or any
other identifying information on the
survey.
The questions are standard ones
that have been asked all across the
country.
After students have filled out the
survey, the surveys will immedi-
ately be boxed and shipped to Col-
orado State University where the re-
suits will be compiled. No one, not
even school staff, will ever know
how any individual responded to the
survey. The survey forms will be de-
stroyed once they have been entered
into a computer. The staff of the
project at Colorado State have also
secured a Certificate of Comiden -
tiality which protects all informa-
tion gathered as part of this project
from subpoena or other legal ac-
dons. At any time, parems or stu-
dints have the right to terminate par-
ticipation in this survey.
A letter eplaining the survey
will be brought home by students.
If you object to your child taking
part in the survey, please sign the
form and remm it to the school.
Students who do not return the
form will be given the survey.
Parents, who have a second
thought one way or the other, can
still phone the school to either allow
their student(s) to participate or
withdraw them from the survey.

Goodbye Newcastle, Tnttle, Jones,

Hello Barnsdall, Berryhill, Sperry,

The Perkins-Tryon Demons closed

Wilhite Field.

fall, but head coach Pat Gray is
already hoisting the battle flags.
"I don't think you'll see that

Gray said about next year's 2A foes.
"The difference will come in the
numbers, and not talent.

"It's going to be another war.
We've got to have a good cffsmsm
program to get ready for it."
The 1993-.football season pro-
duced a 1-9 record on the field.
``Sure I had hoped we would
have a better record," Gray said.
"But, we improved. We were more
