Kirsten Broadbear, junior I was really nervous before I gave blood, but when you sit down and think about it, it'sjust one little pinch, and a few min- utes of dizziness. If you weigh a little discom- fort against s a v i n g s o - meone's life, it m a k e s t h e whole experi- ence worth- while. Teddy Sheridan, senior The Blood Drive is one of the most enjoyable chari- ty projects at SHC. I got to wear free dress, get out of class, stuff myself with do- nuts and pineapple juice, and hang out with friends. Aside from slacking off, I got to wear the bandage of courage, and I knew the satisfaction of knowing that my blood, which I usually take for granted, would be used to save so- meones life. 24 Student Life C Blood Drive '95 Jennifer Lueng, senior This years blood drive was a donated by N, ,N.. complete success: not only did we meet our goal, but we ex- ceeded it. In the fall, over one hundred pints of blood were the students and faculty to the Ir- win Memorial Blood Bank. SHC came to- gether to help others. I was glad to be apart of such a charity event. jfi, 1- cart Q' 5.

Compassion Giving Your Heart Out Lani Lee, senior The Toy Drive was a success this year. lt fulltilled many under- privilged Christmas wishes. Students on the Charity Drive Committee combined with stu- dents from TUFF, and really worked hard in gathering sup- port from their generous fellow students. Knowing that l made a difference to at least one little kid made it all worthwhile for me. I think that a thankful, over- joyed smile from a child is the best Christ- mas present that one can re- ceive. Christopher Huey, senior This years Clothing Drive was not what I had ex- pected. We only distribut- ed about half of the clothes that were collect- ed, to no more than 100 people, carrying large bags. The great thing about the clothing drive, unlike any other charity drive, is that you can ac- tually see who is benefit- ting from your own ef- forts. 26 Student Life Jocelyn De ASiS, junior What makes a child's day but a little fun and play? With the successful outcome of this year's SHC Toy Drive, we tthe studentsj were able to put smiles on little childrens fac- es. Ten Toy Drive Committee members, including myself and Ms. Heidkamp, went over to Hamilton's family shelter to share the fun and enjoyment of Christmas with the children. Along with the fun that we had, we encoun- tered challenges and gained valuable self-knowledge from the time spent at the shelter with the kids.
