O. p. Corps Stages Bloodmobile February 23 marked the day of the ninth annual Blood- mobile held in the Mary Star Auditorium. Recruiting began weeks before the actual day by members of the O.P. Corps. Students, family, and friends were encouraged to donate a pint of blood. The famed Red Cross slogan: Save a Life, Give Blood could be seen everywhere on posters around campus. The goal of 80 pints of blood was surpassed by six. One week prior to the Bloodmobile, an assembly was held for the students and faculty promoting donation of blood. Talks were given by Brenda Stevenson, a Red Cross worker, and Mrs. Rich, who is on a kidney machine and is in need of blood often. The assembly helped clear any confusion and answered questions about donating blood. On the actual day of the Bloodmobile, those brave and courageous enough to give blood were seen in the auditorium biting their nails and ready to bolt out the door any second (with some exceptions) . After the initial prick of the needle, though, the act of donating blood wasn ' t so painful. Home baked cookies and orange juice were serv- ed after the ordeal to regain strength. 1. Does a Blood Bank give withdrawals too? ?. Funny, she doesn ' t look like a vampire. 3. The door is open; should I run out now while I still have tinne? 4. I only did this for the juice and cookies. n — Bloodmobile 117 I I

The day finally came. On February 25, 1983, the Junior Ring Ceremony was held. It was later in the year this year than last, which brought about more excitement and en- thusiasm. Suprisingly enough, each Junior was dressed in the classy colors of pink and grey, EACH AND EVERY JUNIOR! The Class of ' 84 with the theme Juniors — Moving For- ward ... As One, processed down the main aisle with Sylvia Bauer and Janell Zuliani br- inging up the rear on their crutches. (Everyone sure got a big kick out of that one!) As snapshots were taken, the Junior Class realized that this was something just for them, a ceremony held in their honor. Growing older together, we share the process of ex- perience with one another. When Cardinal Manning blessed the rings, our class unity became an individual realization. After the ceremony, the Juniors had lunch, put on by the Sophomore Class. We shared our rings and watched a slide show put on by our class officers, showing slides of friends. The day was a complete success because of the hard work done by the class moderator, Mr. O ' Keeffe, and the Junior Class officers, Vito Russo, Wendy Redlew and Renee Marinkovich. Thanks for making the day so special! 1 1 8 Junior Ring Ceremony
