Blood drive warms hearts as students Give gift of life A total of 68 pints of blood was collected from Northeast student and faculty donors December 9. The blood drive was co-sponsored by the local chapter of the American Red Cross and eighteen student volunteers. Mrs. Gwynneth Lamon, faculty adviser, said, “I think it was a good team effort. We had a lot of success with the students donating. The drive was a lot more successful than last year’s.” Students and faculty members involved had varied reactions. Junior Randy Gillis said, “The part I liked best was drinking the Kool-Aid and eating the cookies. Taking the blood wasn’t anything.” Mrs. Mary Landrum, art teacher, said, “I feel like I am help- ing somebody because blood can be used in so many ways. Mine is O- positive, which is most needed.

The nurses make sure that every part of the process is safe and clean,” said junior Kelvin McElroy. Student volunteers assisting in registration, canteen, and other duties included Nicole Williams, Jackie Hill, Treniscia Stephens, Chiquita Roberts, Danielle Allen, Kim McDowell, Cindy Chaffin, Ralph Redd, Russell McClendon, Kimberly Williams, Rosalyn Wiley, Tracey Eason, Kurt Raeuchle, Kim Jarrell, Geraldine McGirt, Pamela Glenn, Lee Roland, and Sabrina Wright.
