BLGOD IS TI-IICKER THA WATER Aragonians Give Blood Giving blood to people who need it to save their lives was a concern of many Aragonians dur- ing the year. The second annual Blood Drive, held by the Peninsula Memorial Blood Bank, attracted the attention of many students. Most donors were seniors and faculty because it was required that the participants be 18 years old at least. Barbie Pachetti, student coordinator of the drive, commented, I think that the Blood Drive increases in popular- ity each year, as students are be- coming more aware of the need for blood. After donating their lifeblood, students were served refresh- ments orange juice and donuts as appreciation for the success of the drive and to get needed replenish- ing nutrients. The Blood Drive was definitely a worthy cause, helping to succeed in saving lives. Seniors Blake Morones and Anthony Nel- son demonstrate the sincere joy one feels after giving blood. Their only question is, Where are the free donuts? Sorry Mr. Leydig, even that great smile can not win you a spot in the Peninsula Blood Banks calendar. 55E1!151?:5:'f' Blood Drive 259

With Torrey Sullivan as Rich- ard Dawson, and a select few stu- dents from each class, families battled out answers from ques- tions, making the game a version of Family Feud. The mixed families consisted of such characters as: a punk-rocker, the children from The Brady Bunch, a family of jocks, a geek, a prostitute, and yet the ever origi- nal, every day father. Aragon's Family Feud was put on as a fund raiser for the Junior class. Besides the money which was made, the students had fun creating it. It wasn't to say who won the game, but rather, who was that White and Black girl up there? turning answers? This wasn't Wheel of Fortune! Listen Mike, fDad?i, don't get nervous but your next!!'
