Entertainment at Its Best One of the many new and exciting events that occurred at St. Pat's this year was a Bears-Faculty basketball game. In this game a few members of the Chicago Bears Foot- ball Team played a game of basketball against a few select members of our very own faculty. During the game the Bears entertained the crowd with some comical plays and humorous words. The Bears also had some fun with the many children in the crowd. At one point in the game Mr. Buscarini, the referee, and one of the Bears decided to change roles causing roaring laughter from the bleachers. To top off the occasion, two Honeybears joined to cheer on their team. This event was extremely successful drawing a crowd of over one thousand. With much effort and a little ben- ding of the rules the Bears officially won the game. Top Left: Mr. Collins tries to rebound the ball after a missed free throw.

The 246 pints of blood collected on March 11, 1981 set a new record for the annual blood drive co- sponsored by the Medical Careers Club and the United Blood Services. This year's total surpassed the 1980 record collection of 196 pints. The St. Patrick High School Blood Assurance Program was coordinated by Mr. Bert Welker, Co-Chairmen senior Ken Zell and junior Harold Grant. The Blood Assurance Program guarantees free blood for any member of the St, Patrick family and their immediate relatives for one year, The recruitment for blood donors started with an assembly run by Mr. Welker and the members of the Medical Careers Club. The success of the blood drive was attributed to this assembly and other efforts, such as a vigorous poster campaign. The seven year campaign has netted a grand total of 1,271 pints. 24 X Student Life Top Left: While Senior Rick Herrick looks on, two UBS nurses prepare for the next donor.
