Show Free Press - Wednesday, May 17, 1995 - Page 7 Sego Lily holds graduation ceremonies for DARE, class Some big names, and some big people, visited Lehi recently to share ideas about staying drug-fre- e to become successful in life. Randy Reid and Ken Roberts from BYU participated in DA.R.E. graduation ceremonies for sixth grade students from Sego Lily Elementary. "Decide to decide," counseled Reid. "Make the decision now." Ken Roberts talked to the students about Lenny Bias, who died from problems associated with cocaine use. "There are guys out there that are good examples," he said. "And there are guys that threw it away in one night." In his opening remarks, Police Chief Karl Zimmerman referred to people who he had seen become very successful and compared them with people in prison. "It all depends on the choices they made when they were your age," he said. Other speakers included Dr. Linda Perkins, principal at Sego Lily, and Officer Kathy Stewart, D.A.R.E. officer for the Lehi Police Department. Jarrett Miner, mayor of the Lehi Youth City Council, welcomed the' students, and Detective Chad Smith of the Police Department introduced the players. Each class presented skits about the importance of not using drugs, and the entire sixth grade class joined together in singing the D.A.R.E. song. As part of the program, each student writes an essay, where each explains what he or she learned in the class, then makes a pledge to remain drug and violence free. One winner is chosen from each class, with one of the four selected as the over-a-ll winner. Katie Crowton was selected as the over-a- ll winner and recited her essay from memory at the graduation ceremony. Other ribbon win- ners included Rachel Peterson, Maggie Sperry and Cody McDade. An excerpt from Katie's essay follows: "J dream of a world free of drugs. I dream of a world where violence doesn't exist. I dream of a world where dreams come true. Because I dream I dare to try to do what I can to rid my world of drugs at school and in my neighborhood. I dare to try to promote good feelings among my peers so that violence is a thing of the past. I can dare to dream of a world like this."
