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.

The nurses make sure that every part of the process is safe and clean,” said junior Kelvin McElroy.
