A PRECIOUS DROP As fall rolled in, so did the annual blood drive sponsored by student Council. Many anxious 17 and 18 year olds took time out of their classes and study halls to become a blood donor and help South ob- tain the quota of 150 pints. Throughout the day, students saw their classmates with bandages on their arms and sometimes whitish, pale faces. Still, this did not discourage future blood donors be- cause many students wanted to donate but could not due to the age limit or the parent permission slip. For the first time, the Board of Education re- quested parent permission slips, stated Mr. Eugene Smallman, new Student Council advisor. Granite High South donated 122 pints of blood after the day long ordeal. The quota was low due to the fact of Homecoming Week and the all- school assembly. We will have another this spring and hope it will be successful , says Mr. Smallman. Text and Design by ANGELA GRUPAS BLOOD DRIVE 21
