GIVING... At an assembly at the beginning of the school year, students learned that high school students and college students are the major blood donors. This fact obviously inspired Ludlow High’s Pro Merito society as they decided to have two bloodmobiles once again. The first was held on December 12th, and the second was on March 6th. Many Seniors, Juniors, and even a few Sophomores participated in the bloodmobiles. Also, a few people from throughout the community joined in the donating. Every pint of blood collected may help to save someone’s life, and because of everyone’s cooperation, both bloodmobiles were a success. It can be assured that the Red Cross will come back to Ludlow High School again next year. Jorge Balbino, in good health. Carlos Costa, a proud donor. Dave Salvador signs away his blood. 18 BLOODMOBILE

20 SENIORS TAKE D.C. IN WINTER It was a blustery Monday, February 16 as 45 seniors boarded a Peter Pan bus for what should have been an eight hour ride to our Nation’s Capital. Leaving the “bubble” of a small town for sunshine and warmth of the South, Washington was the topic of conversation as we boarded the bus. After two trips back to the bus terminal, a major break-down on I-91, three bus changes, and eleven hours we finally arrived at our hotel. Our days were filled with sightseeing tours of the Capital, Arlington Cemetery, and the monuments. The nights were spent swimming in the indoor pool, ordering room service and gabbing into the wee hours of the morning. | . SENIOR TRIP
