HOSA persuades 94 people to donate blood The Health Occupation Students of America had a very successful year at DHS . HOSA was celebrating it ' s tenth anniversary as an organization, and local members worked hard all year in order to raise money to attend the State meeting and the National convention, both of which were held in Albuquer- que. Jesus Monies was the lucky winner of the stereo that HOSA raffled off early in the year. A blood pressure clinic was held for the small fee of 25 cents per person, and was to continue on the third Monday of each month. The annual blood drive brought in about 94 pints. United Blood Service people of El Paso, Texas, conducted the blood drive and were assisted by varius HOE and HCO Members. Aside from the clinics and stereo raf- fle, HOSA members also tended the concession stands for girl ' s basketball games and wrestling matches. HOSA entered a float in the Wildcat Homecoming parade and several of the members attended the Student Council parliamentary procedure workshop. HOSA members gained experience by working at Mimbres Memorial Hos- pital, the Deming Animal Clinic, and at the dentist ' s office. Local HOSA presi- dent, Elizabeth Goodyear said, HOSA has a good group of people. The class helps you to decide if you would like a further education in nurs- ing. I like being president because I get to help in making major decisions. At the State meeting HOSA mem- bers participated in a parliamentary procedure workshop, one on New Mexico Health Coalition based upon the skin cancer project, one on New Mexico Education, and another deal- ing with the student trainer. Melodye Hennings competed in job application competition; Judi Ruebush competed in medical terminology; Mary King, Judi Ruebush, and Karen HoUings- worth placed 2nd in chapter display; and Belinda Walker Oates ' poster placed 3rd in competition. Members were entertained by a HOSA dance, a talent show, a fiesta, a ventriloquist, and also attended a banquet. HOSA officers were president, Eliza- beth Goodyear; vice-president; Vero- nica Clark; corresponding secretary. Donna Weippert, parliamentarian, Belinda Walker Oates; chaplain, Patty Luera; merit keeper, Marie Williams; historian, Karen Hollingsworth; senti- nel, Lynn Howell; reporter, Melodye Hennings; student council representa- tive, Judi Ruebush; treasurer, Tish Robbins; and HOSA sponsor, Mrs. Mary Anderson. 1 .
