The assembly featured only former students of Westwood and allowed them to display their abilities to their former teachers and the current student body. The program included acts such as singing, skits, comedy acts and former pom- mies and cheerleaders. lt really doesn't take that much to give a pint of blood, said Senior Craig Rominger, organizer of the annual Blood Drives at Westwood. Each year Student Council holds two blood drives. Our only goal this year was to receive more units of blood than we did last year. We tried to talk it up and get as many people as possible to donate,' explained student Council Advisor, Pete Hayes. The fall drive saw almost 100 units of blood donated. Another activity for students was the per- forming arts presentation of two one-act plays, The Bald Soprano and An Actor's Nightmare. - January Esquivel While many Warriors were too scared to give blood, Senior Chris Thompson doesn't even cringe at the thought of losing a pint of blood. Says Chris, lt's a good cause, so I decided to donate. The blood was donated to the Red Cross Blood Fund. Students had to be 18 years old or have a consent note from their parents. -2 Activities
