Day one begins with students assembled in front of the school to witness the dramatization of a fatal alcohol related collision. Emergency personnel transport the injured to the local hospital, a passenger is declared dead by the medical examiner, and the driver - now murderer - is given a field sobriety test and arrested for driving under the influence. Witness to this tragedy are the "living dead": students who have been removed from their classes by the Grim Reaper. Notices of their "deaths" are read to the student body by a California Highway Patrol Officer. The program culminates the following day with an assembly featuring the participants and other powerful speakers. Written by
