It Takes All Types Of all the senior activities held throughout the year, perhaps with the one exception of Graduation, the Senior Blood Drive best demonstrated the upperclassmen ' s ability to work well together. Although the actual donating was completed in one day, December 2, a great deal of preparation was involved. The initial plans were constructed by Mr. Phillip Darragh, who has been the advisor of this event for several years. Four co-chairpeople were elected: Christine Giannattasio, Marcy Gropman, Mary Sormanti and Liana Tosto. Their primary job was to organize paperwork and to recruit donors. Recruiting was probably the toughest part, as many people were afraid and hesitant to give away a pint of their own blood. The four chairpeople, eight captains. and the numerous volunteer workers tried various tactics to convince people that it really wouldn ' t hurt, A few pessimists who resorted to calling them leeches continued to shy away from the needle. Other prep work such as hanging signs and going around to homerooms was also involved, but the work was not in vain, for on the day of the Drive the turnout was great. Despite the long lines and the forms to be filled out, students waited, some as long as two or three hours to finally reach the donating table. At the end of the day a total of 152 pints had been collected and contrary to the initial fears, all the donors felt was really good. 1. Portraying some of the fun that everyone had, senior Paul Hughes gets his blood pressure read, a prerequisite for donating blood. 2. After giving blood, senior John Davidson rests before heading for the refreshment table. 3. Senior Ann Marie Norton awaits her turn on the donor table as seniors Marcy Gropman and Christine Hartigan lend support to a friend. 4. Enjoying refreshments after a job well done, seniors Chris Freni and John Jesi proudly display their Blood-Drive stickers. 5. Senior Michael Steene lets fellow classmate Joe Stancato use his back to fill in a preliminary Red Cross form. 6. The faces of Joe Bucci, Steve Cushinsky and Scott Bernson display some of the anxiety that donors felt. Blood Drive 11
