During “Kick Butts” weeks
which is also held in April, high
school students help to educate
the younger generation with a
series of assemblies or puppet
shows, written by the teens
mostly.
Radio spots will be aired on
local stations throughout the
spring with messages created by
the students such as this one
from Northern Bedford.
“Each year there are more
than 400,000 deaths in the
United States caused by smok
ing-related illnesses."
“Is that how you want to die?”
The choice is yours....
“When you choose to smoke,
you’re not only hurting yourself
but others t 00...

TATU has become a presti
gious organization in Bedford
County schools. When Tussey
Mountain lost their long time
volunteer leader, Glenn Young,
this year, the students were so
upset they found a replacement
leader. “Some of them want to go
into health related fields and
felt it was very important to
have an organization such as
this,” says their advisor. Phil
Logue.
TATU even inspired a
Hyndman High School student
to write a song called, “Ashtray
Mama” which will be sung on
the radio this spring.

and each galaxy has hundreds of billions
of stars. The stars you can see when you
look up at the sky are In our own galaxy,
which Is called the Milky Way.
Along with the stars In each galaxy,
there are clouds of dust and gas. Stars are
actually big balls of gas. mostly hydrogen, that
give off heat and light. They are bom from the
clouds of dust and gas. As more and more gas
Is pulled into a cloud, the cloud starts to
spin. Atoms of gas bump Into each other. As
