Health number one priority 'Stop smoking, donate blood, check pressure, ' club says. What's all this talk about HOSA? YAC? Well if you participated in the smoke-out, entered the poster contest, gave blood, or had your blood pressure checked, you may know a lit- tle, but these clubs have competed state wide in competition and received several honors for their work. HOSA means Health Occupations Students of America. They sponsored the blood pressure check that 4,475 students, teachers and random par- ticipants all over took part in. The number of checks was the largest in the state. Another award concerning the checks was that they were also the largest percent of student par- ticipants. The group was recognized for both of these achievements at the state convention. In the area convention in Fort Worth, the club had seven winners in the competition. Darla Lytton, Ken- neth Sharp, Jessie Taylor, Lillian Lathrop, Linda Hollowell, Pam Ewrin, concerning health related topics. From the area competition the entire group took their projects to the state conven- tion. Darla won there as well. Gary, along with Teresa Courchene, was recognized for their efforts in the promotion of the blood drive. And for those who kicked the habit during the Great American Smoke- Out, sponsored by the Youth Against Cancer club, stickers were passed out saying, Kiss me, I don't Smoke, pledges were made, and there was even a poster contest. Senior Linda Hollowell was recognized for her participation in the Smoke-Out. Presenting the certificate to her was Birdville group president and biology teacher Mr. Marvin Reed. Other sponsored events they par- ticipated in were a program concern- ing breast cancer, and a trip to area junior high and elementary schools teaching the students the dangers of smoking, chewing, and dipping tobac- co products.l and Gary Patton.
