On I riday, February 9, ihe Student Activities room was transformed; white ( lad nurses and volunteers worked to make blood Donor Day a major success. The mini-dime, held from I I to J o'clock, gave donors a c ham c to give enough blood to insure I Ik entire sc bool for the year. After a blood pressure check, a hemoglobin test was administered, revealing the healthiness of that type of blood. Then, donors gave their health history to a volunteer before they indulged in sugar cookies and orange iuice to raise the sugar con- tent ol the blood. Finally, trained nurse's connected the patient to a blood drawing mac bine, whic h with- drew one pint of blood from each volunteer. Ihe blood Donor Day, run by the Student Council in collaboration with the Central )ersey blood bank, lelt donors with two rewards: a cou- pon lor a tree sundae at McDonald's, and a sense ol satisfaction at having given blood for another's health.

Dinner Adds Flavor to Homecoming Dance Turkeys, football, mums, dinner- dance, and voting: all these were constituents of the 1978 Homecom- ing, Living for a Dream. Beginning with the sale of mums by the Booster Club, enthusiasm mounted as thanksgiving approached, the4 day of the traditional Long Branch-Bucca- neer clash. Red Bank once again wal- loped the Waves,33-8. Then, two days later on November 2Sth, the Bucs were feted at the annual Homecoming Dance, with a buffet dinner, a Red Bank Regional first. Chairperson Cheryl Moses organized the dance, held in the caf- eteria, decorated with silver stars and moons. Moved by the music of the Anderson Brothers, even Mr. and Mrs. Browning took a turn on the dance floor. Food, provided by vol- unteering parents, was organized by Mrs. Frank Hagen. Following the buffet, Master-of- Ceremonies Mark Gaspenni honored the Homecoming Court. Cheryl Dob- rosby and Benji Minton were crowned queen and king, with Karen Donahue, Kellie Connell and Shalom Condelmarte appointed to the court. Because of the time-consuming efforts ot the Student Council, the Red Bank Regional Homecoming was attended by a record number of stu- dents and proved a financial success.
