    Breathalyzer Tests On Prom

    Students are in uproar in light of a recent announcement made by Principal Jimenez of


    Leaguetown High School after he has decided to employ Breathalyzer tests to help sort out the
    students from sober, to drunk on Prom night.

    Prom night is a big event for all high-school juniors and seniors. This year, the school has
    decided to take a more cautious route with attendance. Last year, four students rode from the
    Prom, blackout drunk. Two of these students got in a car wreck, and the other two were arrested
    for public intoxication. This news caused some juniors and seniors to rethink their tickets, who
    believe this is a violation of rights.

    “We tried talking to Mr. Jimenez, but he wouldn’t listen to us. Giving us Breathalyzer tests is
    treating us like criminals. I don’t care if the cops arrest someone because they are visibly drunk
    and making a scene, but arresting someone because they had one beer or one sip on prom night is
    pretty stupid.” senior Sonny Tarwater said.

    This new prom will be at the Second Street inn from 8 p.m to midnight. This happens to be right
    across the street from the school’s prom, being held at the nearby Hilton.

    “The junior class is putting on a great prom. The theme is ‘Happily Ever After.’ We are going to
    decorate the ball room like it’s a fairy tale. Everything is going to look great. We also hired the
    same deejay from last year. I know some seniors are putting on an alternative prom at the Second
    Street Inn, but I promise it won’t be as good as ours,” junior class president Heidi Swift says.

    Many seniors are buying tickets to this alternative prom. However, some students aren’t on
    board, even if their evening dates are.

    “My boyfriend wants to go to Sonny’s prom, but I don’t. I want the real thing,” Senior Eve
    Tooley said. Eve showed full support for this new tactic.“This is my Senior year. I want the
    dress, the photos, the limo, the whole thing. So we have to blow into a little tube. What’s the big
    deal? No one parties much before prom anyway. I think Sonny and friends are just blowing it
    way out of proportions.”

    While the school is split on the situation, law enforcement is very keen on employing this new
    strategy.
    “I’ve heard a few grumbles that we are violating student’s rights, but what underage student has
    the right to drink alcohol? We’re just trying to protect them. Honestly, I don’t think many
    students will test positive . I don’t think we have a huge drug and alcohol problem here. It’s just
    another step we’re taking to keep kids safe.” School Police Chief Eric Mclennan said.

    Principal Jimenez remains unflinching about the decision to employ the Breathalyzers, saying
    that it’s only for the best.

    “We do not want a repeat of last year’s prom. It is my job to keep the students safe as possible,
    and this breath test will do that. Students don’t understand the dangers of drinking. When the
    school police chief suggested the test to me, I knew we had a solution. The test only takes
    seconds. Most of our students are good kids who make good decisions. I am sorry they have to
    be subjected to this, but it’s in everyone’s best interest.” Principal Jimenez said.

    As far as information, I think you did a really good job with quotes and things like that. The
    only real downside to your writing is that it is kinda lengthy. There is information that your
    writing could do without and there were times you started to stray away from your lede but
    besides that it was pretty much perfect.
