4.94 Mrs Savage Gzfts Mr Devereux With Rare, Rea' Cross Treasure The College was proud that Mr. Devereux was honoured by the Windsor Red Cross following our mass exodus to give blood. Mrs. Savage gave Mr Devereux a rare, and historic pin - one of the original gold Red Cross Pins dating from the First World War - one of the few still in existence ! Windsor Teachers' College has the distinction of creating the precedent of keeping all local hospitals in constant supply of plasma. It was in the year 1963 that emergency conditions struck the hospitals, and the blood banks were completely empty. An appeal was broadcast over the countryside by radio for volunteer donors. Student Council President, Andre St. Amand and Mr. Devereux immediately organized the first Caravan of Students to alleviate the shortage. The University and local High Schools followed their example. There has never been a blood shortage since! 86
