Chemistry inthe Community class did an excellentjob oforganizing and supervising the whole day. The blood drive was a success.

Below: Michael Builrago lies down and waits for a nurse to start the process Be cause there were so many students, it took a while to give blood. ,gag The Worst part of the blood drive was that it took over an hourjust to sign in, which made me miss Vietnam class. Other than that it was as pleasant an experience as possible for giving blood. The nurse I had was very friendly, so I hardly noticed when she stuck me with the needle. She also wrapped the tape completely around my elbow so I couldn't bend it for the rest of the day. -Minder Singh '98 I was happy to be able to organize the Blood Drive this year.

Get Your Blood Lamping Have you given blood before? Did you have breakfast? Did you drink some juice this moming? These questions seem all too familiar for those who have given blood. Throughout the day on October 30th many students gathered in the De Paul Cafetorium to give blood for the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank. Mr. Moore's E Block Chemistry in the Community class organized and supervised the day. Through posters, announcements and visits during Division, the Blood Drive was advertised all over the school so that more people would have an opportunity to donate. Donors spent Division in the La Salle Cafeteria having the classic donor's breakfast of bagels and juice. At eight o'clock sharp students began walking into the Cafetorium to give blood, and the process continued throughout the day. The process is quite painless. After checking in and answering a few questions, you lie down on a table. After one prick and some squeezing, you have given a pint of blood and helped save someone's life. Senior Vanessa Barsi said, l think that donating blood is one of the best things that anyone can do to help save a life. After giving blood and resting for a few minutes, donors received a snack and somejuice. The day turned out to be a great success. Over eighty pints of blood were donated. Our school community shined through at the Blood Drive and helped save many people's lives. -Nicole Bocci '98 20 Age of Reason Right: Donors sit down and enjoy a light snack after giving blood.
