Theatre crew takes a chance For the first time in Thornwood's theatre history three plays were produced in the same evening. The spring production was entitled The- atre By Chance: An Evening of One Act Plays. The interesting feature was that the plays were directed by three senior students. The evening opened with Alicia Herman's production of The Boo- geyman, a bizarre story of a man hunted by a spectral killer. The sec- ond play, Vanities, directed by Shole Milos, dealt with three high school Above: The narrator CJudy Sasutal explains the many facets of Lester Billings' emotions in The Boogeyman.

Donors give precious blood On February 17, something very special took place, the gift of giving. The gift was a valuable liquid blood. When Thornwood held their annual blood drive a total of 24 pints was collected and donated to Bever- ly Blood Bank. Many students wished to donate but were unable to give for such rea- sons as high blood pressure or too fast a pulse rate. I went in and was so nervous about giving blood that my pulse rate was too high, there- fore, I wasn't able to donate, stated W.. 1' Above: To check on the donor's physical health, the nurse asks a few routine ques- tions.

One of the students that was able to give said, I felt good about myself after giving, but when the needle was in my arm it drove me crazy. There were times when I just wanted to pull it out. All day students were seen ner- vously walking in and calmly walk- ing out of the Student Activity Room, with only a band-aid to show for their effort. Doughnuts and or- ange juice were available as a sign of appreciation for all of the blood col- lected. 'M 'fV' W W ' f , . .,..,, 1 5 Z
