A little help from her friend. Senior Marianne Juscik attempts to get rid of Peggy Cafferty’s butterflies by taking time to share a few laughs. Finding himself a little weak after giving blood, Senior Dan Wallenberg lies down with a cool compress on his forehead.

The Gift of Life ... For the second consecutive year, the BNI blood drive overa¬ chieved its goal of donated units. Aiming for a record one hundred seventy units, the students and faculty came through with twen¬ ty-one units in excess. The ’84 Blood Drive was marked as the most successful at Noll up to that point. To insure the success of the event, planning began about a month prior. Five students (two Seniors and three Juniors) were given the responsibility of plan¬ ning, organizing, and executing the drive. P.J. Klocek, Donnette Gray, and Peggy Halfman were assigned the task of public rela¬ tions. They were responsible for such things as advertising, and finding volunteer nurses. Mary Jones and Robert Hajduch took on the job of scheduling donors and volunteer nurses. They were also in charge of organizations, insuring that the Drive ran smoothly. The committee was kept on its toes by frequent meetings with Fr. Moszur, at which progress was discussed. Planning began in earnest at the two sign-up assemblies held for the Juniors and Seniors. The advertising plastered through¬ out the school combined with the assembly had the right affect as the scheduling committee was swamped with applicants. The Blood Drive spanned February 22-23 and lasted from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The Park¬ ing-lot end of the Fieldhouse saw unusually heavy duty as it was crowded with the donors and volunteer workers. Mary Jones oversaw the operation, or¬ ganizing workers and making sure that donors flowed in and out smoothly. Errand runners Bob Hajduch and P.J. Klocek were kept on their toes by deli¬ vering “the fatal summons” to the donors during their time slots. Throughout the day, nervous donors filed in, waiting to go “under the needle” or “on the slab.” Despite the cool air in the fieldhouse, temperatures rose above the normal 98.6° as blood was tested for iron deficiencies and other deferable traits. De¬ spite deferrals, the quota was met, and then exceeded. Most agreed the experience was not as traumatic as anticipated, though a few were a little paler complected when they walked (or staggered) out. The Blood Drive was once again a success because of the student body’s generosity, proving that BNI students will do what it takes when the need arises. Before.

Chilled Spirit Twin day. Tropical day. Jean day. Blue and Gold day. This was Winter Sports Spirit Week. It was to honor all of the winter sports. There were some very unusual sights seen these days. On Tuesday, there were “Two Alike”. There were many sets of twos. Some didn’t look anything alike before they dressed up, but then, “Who’s Who?” was the question asked. Ever see a fish walking around school? This was the way one senior portrayed his school spirit on Tropical Day. He was seen from “miles” away. A sight to be seen was on jean day. Even teachers wore them. Everyone looked much different than when in uniform. It did break up the monotony of the day. To top it off, Blue and Gold Day sent the week off with a bang. It was a perfect way to send the basketball team on their way to sectionals. School spirit was in the halls of BNI. 30 Winter Spirit Days Clowning around.
