I8 Blood Donation GIVG The Gift Of Life One hundred and three pints of Cen- tennial blood are in circulation to help save the lives of those in our community. On November 5 and April 25 of the 1978- 79 school year, volunteers spent twenty minutes of their time giving the gift of life. On these two school days, the Red Cross Blood Mobile came to seek the help of those students who were at least seventeen years old and weighed at least one hundred ten pounds. Registered nurses set up their equip- ment and processed donors - students parents and teachers - through a simple preliminary medical examination to pro- tect both donor and recipient. Then close to one pint of blood was taken from each Centennial donor. By the end of the day they were gather- ing to share their experiences. They held the white bandages to their arms but they had smiles on their faces and a sticker on each collar which read: Be nice to me' I gave blood today. ,ff . ,, ,. k pf' W K...-1 v -5 N- ,W I . 1 -'lf Mlm-M.,

Between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, his was the world of the Centennial student. Many specialized courses offered al- ternatives to the standard classes and gave students the opportunity to ven- ture into new areas of fascination. Aca- demia, however, was not the total pic- ture of a student's life. Class meetings, tennis shoes, formal gowns, chess boards, ski boots, ticket stubs, and friends played their parts as well. These extracurricular activities-sports plays, clubs, and school social events- prodded students to lose themselves in creative enterprise and through this in- volvement discover their distinct po- tentials. As the students exertion and scope of interest magnified so did their world. Their enthusiasm and involve- ment carried past the realm of the school into their jobs and colleges, aid- ing them in a larger world. These activ- ities were a source of encouragement for students to reach out beyond the brick walls and classroom doors.
