QUINLAN, Tex.-Students from a variety of campus organizations, staff and many community volunteers worked together this week to present a dramatic depiction of the effects of alcohol and underage drinking.

The two-day event featured the “living dead” who were pulled out of class every 15 minutes to represent alcohol-related fatalities. There was also a mock automobile accident involving alcohol, texting, minors and fatalities; a mock memorial service for the accident victim and a mock trial for the driver of the vehicle in the mock accident.
