     SafetyScholars Contest - National contest based on driving safety.  Clip must be either 25 or 55 seconds long.  The Moviemakers Club divided into 4 teams for this project, two led by VPs and two led by William Mok.  Because entrants are required to have a driver's license, we ended up submitting under older siblings or friends' names.
