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

' QD Career seekers gain insight Like Sherlock Holmes investigat- ing a crime, curious career seekers roamed from table to table gather- ing information that might be useful in choosing an occupation. Students gathered in the cafeteria for Thorn- Wood's annual Career Night on No- vember 6 hoping to find a clue to their future plans. Over 100 fields were represented by individuals specializing in careers that would in- terest the students. Information ranged from careers immediately after high school to those which require a college educa- tion. Many students were interested specifically in Thornton Community College's course offerings. The rea- son for this high interest in TCC was for the simple reason that many did not want to go directly from high school to a four year college, ex- plained career coordinator Mr. McCabe. Coordinating the evening were counselors Mrs. Bammann, Mr. Bo- bis, and Mr. Sudar, who all agreed that this year's Career Night was one of the most successful. ., gg -4?
