On November 15, a similar situation occured at Meade Senior High. The Bed Cross was at hand for the Fall Blood Drive. The blood drive is held every year at MHS, and is sponsored by the SGA. Several weeks prior to the blood drive, the SGA formed a Blood Drive Committee to organize the event. The committee was also responsible for signing up qualified students for the blood drive. To become a donor, a student had to be at least seven- teenyears old and weigh at least 110 pounds. One hundred and twenty stu- dents and teachers signed up to donate one pint of their blood. Prior to giving blood, donors were given tips by the Bed Cross. They were told to avoid eating fatty foods and not to smoke. Some students misunderstood the in- structions, and failed to eat at all that day. This caused some students to feel very light headed and even caused some stu- dents to faint. A total of 115 pints of blood was do- nated bythe students of MHS to the Ameri- can Bed Cross Blood Bank. After donat- ing their blood, students signed their name on the Blood Drive participation banner which was hung in the cafeteria. 28 X Blood Drive A Mike Wiggins and Kelli Waldrop worked the Check-in Table. 4 Dave Hackley drew up the design on the Blood Drive Poster. V Jim Harlow checks in and awaits his turn.
