Make sure the garments are still in good shape. “The clothes that we need most are summer clothes, accessories, and shoes,” says senior Nidhi Desai, who is helping organize this clothing drive. Bathing suits and under garments are the only clothes that are unacceptable, for sanitary reasons. The second period with the most clothing each week during the drive will receive donuts from Blackbird Bakery as a reward. Doughnut Worthy Alexis Wyatt Donation Drunk driving awareness has hit Tennessee High School. During the week of April 19-23, the Bristol Tennessee Police and Fire Departments and the junior class sponsored times for students to wear DUI goggles and use the DUI simulator. Firefighters used various tools to demonstrate how they extract a trapped victim from an automobile. Caring teachers and administrators hope these activities will make a positive difference. “I hope that this week somehow convinces students that their driving behavior correlates directly with life and death. I drive by a teen death site everyday; fake flowers in the roadside weeds represent a teenager who is now dead,” says THS teacher Mrs. Sutherland. Her hope matches that of many who have experienced the harmful effects of drunk driving in their life. According to Students Against Drunk Driving statistics, 346 THS students could have possibly consumed Driving Hammered? alcohol in mild to excessive amounts. It takes just one Zach Tuggle drunk driver to kill or be killed. THS is Stepping Up The Limestone Masonry workers have been busy fixing the stair steps outside of the auditorium at the front of Tennessee High School. According to the workers, they will remove the old bricks, clean them, and then reuse them because these bricks are genuine and non- replaceable. “This will keep them [students] from tripping and falling when they run out of school in the afternoon,” worker Heath Springer said. Their work began on April 20, and they are still in the process of removing bricks so that they can re-align them.

Many restaurants fill their cups to the brim with ice causing there to be less of the drink you actually ordered!

The orange clad missionary, named Kenneth, wanders around on foot or by bike flashing his “Jesus is Lord” license plates. Come rain or snow, sleet or hail, this man is out and about doing drive-by conversions. Respected by many, he sleeps in many local churches, and on Sunday, attends the next on his list. He doesn’t mind differences in the denominations, he said, but simply wants to hear the word of Jesus Christ.
