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
