Valentine's Day Makes students' iven the chance to help make a difference in someone else's life, Overland students, faculty, and parents jumped at the op- portunity on February 12 in the spirit of Valentine's Day. One hundred and one people met the re- quirements, which were being at least sev- enteen years old, weighing no less than 110 pounds, and of course being in tip-top shape. I wish there wouldn't have been an age limit because I felt bad that I couldnlt help out, said Soph. Nikki Dardano. This idea has been in existence since the eddy year school opened. The senior class spon- sored the activity with the goal of one hun- dred pints of blood and helping out the com- munity, said Mrs. Gayle Banyard. Their goal was met and exceeded with 101 pints donated throughout the day. Belle Bonfils Memorial Blood Center, who ran the event, used the blood wherever it was needed. Laurie Mohrman, a nurse from the center, said, It's great to see a school that cares so much about others. For most the experience was nerve-rack- ing. I hate the thought of those needles! said Jr. Rodney Wong. After giving blood, donors were given lee' free food and drinks and allowed time to recover because of the normal light-headed and weak feelings that usually occur. As a result of donating blood, students reacted in a variety of ways. Some sat up and pigged out, while one male donor faint- ed in the hallway. ul got involved in the Blood Drive be- cause I hope that someone would do that for me and it makes me feel good that I could save someone's life, said Lisa Carr. SR. MONTE MONTGOMERY'S facial expres- sion shows his feelings about the frightful situation. Most donors gave blood without losing their compo- sure. I !,,, 'w. tvs' C -.I Blood Drive

unshine replaced with snowflakes? Instead of heating up February with semi-formal attire, role reversal, and the theme Melt With You, a winter storm cooled it down. Winterfest had a snow storm that once again made February wintery but not hum-drum. Winterfest featured a second Air Band, ice skating at Alpine, and many dress up days during the week of February 23-28. Since the girls asked the guys to the dance and were financially responsible for the whole evening, there was a role reversal n Morgan Copy und Layout: Jennifer Song There fsnow' stopping bf, Fun and frolicking of te 9 aww ee day where girls were to dress as guys and vice versa. Sr. Drew Kitchell said he changed sexes for the day because he wanted to impersonate the stormy intel- lect of the prolific personage of Mrs. Jen- nifer Condreayf' But Jr. Jenny Ottinger had a learning experience, she understood why guys didnit like to wear suits. She said, it's almost impossible to breathe when wearing one. Sombreros were seen on Mexico Day. While huge hats scuffed the heads of some, many students enjoyed the colorful costumes in the halls. Dragging their bed coverings to school, after neatly safety pinning and throwing excess corners over one shoulder, were students dressed in their Roman togas. Jr. Lisa Bonneville wore a toga because she said she was crazy and she wanted to have fun. She said, I don't feel awkward. It doesn't bother me when others think I'm weird or strange, Ijust think of myself as having a lot of school spirit. While Sr. Todd Williams said he threw on the first thing he saw. Although Air Band was postponed, Winterfest was a great success with many more activities such as movie night, fea- turing From the Hip, the sundae build- ing contest, the Chubby Bunny contest, and the boxer shorts and long underwear day. With many activities crammed into one week the dance was a great finale. John Morgan WATCH OUT!
