After awhile, a nurse removed the bag and pressed a cottonball to his vein. He got up and walked toward a chair. Halfway between the table and his destination, Murphy suddenly fainted. I didn't eat anything at all that morn- ing and when I stood up, I just passed out, commented Murphy. I came around about 20 minutes later. Most of the donors did not faint, al- though many felt apprehensive when 'lwhen I found out there was an emergency blood 'f'1V2. I wanted to help out. It was the first time I had QW? given blood, After I was done I stayed around and tfob lemwleratures, including Hank Murphy's - Amy Swearingen they arrived at the auditorium lobby. It was the first time that I gave blood and I was really quite nervous, com- mented Liz Lampe, senior. Girls' Pep Club QGPCI sponsored the Red Cross Emergency Blood Drive, Sept. 22. 'LOur goal was 100 pints of blood and we donated 98 pints, which was really great for an emergency drivef' said Georgia Stillman, chairman. I was really proud to be in charge of the drive, because a lot of people gave to a needy causef' Stillman added. I felt good knowing that I was help- ing someone, said Lampe. As a precaution, the donors had to fill out several forms, and someone had to take their temperature, blood pressure and test their blood. It hurt more when they pricked my finger for testing than actually giving the bloodf' said Janet Chipperfield, senior. Some of the prospective donors were not able to give blood because of the rules concerning the drive. I wanted to give blood, but I wasnlt 17, said Steve Jenkins, junior. I thought it was a good cause and I'm glad GPC got their goal of 98 pints. Finger pricks produce small amounts of blood from Whitney Herman, senior, so the volunteer nurse can test the blood's iron content. Jokes from Betsy Allen, senior, amuse Georgia Still- man, senior, as she donates her blood. 4 if Qc nv! - Nl 1 , 7 Y Blood Drive - 19

Fer- nando Fowler and Jimmy Webb, sophomores, partici- pate in the Girls, Pep Club sponsored contest on Tacky Day by diving into a Sara Lee cherry pie in the cafete- rua. t was almost hidden in blanket of White As the football lights shone down on the monstrous flames, the spectators could see the evening's snow. Almost lost in a blanket of white, the bonfire illuminated the denseness of the night. Sliding down the snowy hill at the north end of the football field, students attempted to move closer to the sight so they could warm their frozen toes, and catch a glimpse of the Webster States- man being burned at the stake. When the firemen began to extinguish the fire, the last spectators started to dwindle away - with hopes for a Pio- neer victory in the annual game. As the students pondered the even- ing's happenings, many of them realized that the bonfire was only the climax to weeks of planning and anticipation by several clubs and organizations. For some, fireproofing began in September, and meetings to derive theme ideas started as early at the third week of schools. If we hadn't started early on making decorations, we wouldn't have fin- ished, said Marci Hofherr, chairman of the Girls' Pep Club cafeteria committee. We had 20 people sign up and only five helped. Students also participated in Pioneer Day and Tacky Day. Pioneer Day, Nov. 24, provided a chance for participants to dress up in outfits from the olden days, while Tacky Day, Nov. 25, al- lowed them to wear black and orange. At the sound of the 2:30 bell on Tacky Day, people began to congregate in their designated areas to decorate. However, some could not make it until evening. I thought that I would get arrested for not getting there at 2:30, but I had swim practice so I couldn't come till 8, said Jack Grone, freshman. By 10:30 p.m., the campus had quiet- ed down, only to be reawakened ap- proximately five-and-a-half hours later. Darkness still loomed outside as Mark tcontinued on page 247 6 I knew If any class would win Turkey Day, the class of '81 would do it. After our very first touchdown, I knew we had the drive to win. - Kevin Kilpatrick Balloons go up in the senior hall outside the library on Turkey Day Eve as Alice Vahey and Kara Hollenbeck string them together to help convey the seniors' theme of Pioneers Fight Like the Devil.
