Volunteers A pretty bouquet of flowers and a kind word can brighten a gray hospital room and cheer up any patient who's feeling a little low. junior Aimee Carl was one of the many teenage candy stripers at the Flower Hospital Complex who had the assignment of deliver- ing flowers and doing other odd jobs. My favorite part of the job was seeing the people's faces light up when I brought the flowers and talked to them, she said. In addition to delivering flowers, candy stripers escorted patients, did front desk work and helped out in physical therapy. What's more, it was all volunteer work. I want a medical career, and I thought candy striping would be a good experience, said junior Beth Roe, And it's such a good feeling to help people. ly. d l' fl wers and other presents to patients.

Caring and sharing Why would anyone want to give blood? I would give blood because some little child needs it, said senior Barry Ward. lfl gave blood for somebody else, said soph- omore Debra Larson, then I know there would be blood somewhere for me. junior Anne Leslie added that there are a lot of people who really need that blood. But, others said they were afraid it might hurt or the needles frightened them. The scariest thing about giving blood is not knowing whether it will hurt or not. Mrs. Roberta Moore, a DHO teacher, says that it is only a minimal discomfort and it is worthwhile to most people to make blood available to injured people. There was much preparation that went into the blood drive held here last March. Cooperation from Red Cross volunteers, who did the actual blood drawing, DHO members, Student Government, and Quill and Scroll, who handled publicity, was required to make the drive a success. After the blood was received, it was shipped to 19 northwest Ohio hospitals, whereone pintofblood can help as many as five people. When the drive was over, the students involved in the DHO program were still around to clean up and straighten out the lab. All during the drive, the DHO students were helping the Red Cross volunteers with equipment and welcoming the donors to the area. The drive was a preview ofwhat is to come in a job that a DHO student may get. There are many, many health jobs that are opening up, said Mrs. Helen Kahl, a DHO teacher. Anyone who has health training will be able to get a job after graduation, she stressed. jobs of this na- ture include a dental or nurses' assistant, a physicians' office worker, a lab worker, or helping out in physical therapy. Most of the students do not go on to a nursing or medical school. They usually elect to remain in thejob they were required to have in their senior year, or they switch to another one at the same angle. DHO emphasizesthe helpingand caringaspectof the medical field, accordingto Mrs. Moore, and is good for anyone who wants to care for and share with people. 30 -'4-Av if Demonstrating proper dental techniques on junior Kathy Nicholoson is Mrs. Bobbi Moore. ffmk Q., DHO members not only practice checkups on each other, but they do workbook exercises as well, as junior Lisa Ziegler is doing.

lt's good for our health A good physical fitness program includes both physical activity and training along with in-class study. According to Mr. Herb Sweebe, a phys- ical education teacher, the school tries to offer as well-rounded a program as possible. Some of the various activities of the gym classes included recreational activities that students can continue throughout their life- time, such as softball, tennis and volleyball. Freshman Bob Kross said he preferred field hockey because it is similar to ice hockey, a sport he wants to play while in high school. However, not all students want to con- tinue their favorite physical education activ- ity beyond the allotted class time. Freshman Kim johnson, for instance, en- joyed gymnastics but said she had no plans to continue it. The recent addition of the swim program gave the freshmen and sophomores a chance to continue their summer fun all year long. Swimming wasn't restricted to only the underclassmen though. Swim instructors this year were mostly juniors and seniors. Most instructors felt that this opportunity would help them get a summer job as a lifeguard if they had earned an advanced senior life-saving certificate during the year. Out of the gym and into the classroom, the students completed one of the gradua- tion requirements by taking a health course. Everything from drugs and alcohol to first aid was covered through discussions, speakers and demonstrations. Although the first year of gym and health may have seemed like a drag to some stu- dents, sophomore Russ Reinbolt feltthat the gym classes were a good way to release energy and get some exercise.
