Community Affair Blood Bank The Blood Bank at Aptos High this year was a great success. People came from all over the community to join in the uGift of Love It was held both in December and in April and the chairs were never empty. Students were told their blood types and issued blood donor cards. Stu- dents from Aptos also helped as aids helping the nurses by running errands, typing blood cards, and making sure the donors were comfortable. Students were served cookies and juice after donating blood and were given strict instructions to take it easy for the day. Many students felt it was a worthwhile cause and would surely do it again in years to come. It was a friendly atmosphere and all the nurses were very kind and understanding. Giv- ing blood is something we should all do. It gives you a-wonderful feeling.

The Wall Storm-swept waves as high as 20 feet lashed the midcounty coastline ripping off the Capitola Wharf and crashing through homes in Rio Del Mar. Resi- dents were forced to flee on Via Gaviota in Rio Del Mar as breakers blew out win- dows and rolled through 10 beachfront homes. Its been a strange and unyielding winter, with more snow in the Sierras and flooding on the California coastline than anyone can remember. Weathermen began gathering weather data back in 1878 here in Santa Cruz, one hundred five years ago. There had never been a single year in recorded weather history when the villa villages of Capitola and Rio Del Mar were flooded three times in one year. So this wall was put up to protect the beachfront houses from damage in the following storms to come.
