Pulling Apart at the Seams This year saw a tightening of academic standards across the nation. The administration realized that the students needed time to relax and once again implemented their unique activity. The last hour of the last day before Christmas vacation played host to the 5th annual Christmas party. The majority of the student body participated in the Tug-of-war contest. There was plenty of competition this year. The lllvlud-Diggers llvlechanicsl gave the 'Black Pack lcross-countryl a run for their money, but the ilBlack Pack pulled through for the fourth consecutive year. The following teams participated but didn't make it to the final round: ROTC lwhitelg ROTC lredlg ROTC lgoldjg Mud Eatersg Mud Slingersg Mud Runnersg Dirty Deedsg Beatlesg Commiesp and Bandits. They may not have won, but Shawn Chapman and Dey Smith put up a good tugging battle for their opponents. Pulling with all of his might, Brad Hinchman refuses to admit defeat. Out to give the opposing team a run for their money Marcum Thomas, Tyrone Dixon, Mark Gross, and Kim Dixon pull with all of their strength.

Another Drop in the Bucket ln the school's few years as a high school, we have been one of the leaders in the county when it comes time to donate blood. ln the last three out of five years, Palm Bay High has taken home the trophy for most blood donated by a high school. When the blood bank of Melbourne sent the bloodmobile to Palm Bay in the spring and fall, the students were ready and willing to part with a pint of blood. Over the last five years we have donated three hundred ten pints of blood. HOSA sponsors the blood drive every year and its members work inside the bloodmobile volunteering their time. Our student body should be proud to be a leader of such a worthy cause. HOSA members Suzie Santiago and Amy Whalen prepare to store blood donated by a student. Reclining back in his chain Pete Loomis decides giving blood is not so bad. Not at all enthusiastic after having her finger pricked, Patty Sherman wonders if being a Good Samaritan is worth the pain. 32! BLOOD DRIVE .M ,digg Ri
