Description:	Brumleve, JohnBrummett, RussellJSl hi vBuckner, RobinBurchfield, Rosaliefl% ^Burke, Elizabeth111 tA 1 \Many students give bloodduring bloodmobile visitAt least seniors were honest in expressing their feelings, about donating theirblood.I will never do it again. Im a chicken.Im too much of a wild and crazy guy, saidone senior. Another said, I was dreadfullyfrightened, but I donated anyway. I have allI need; and for just a little pain, I could helpothers and maybe save some lives.The Red Cross bloodmobile stopped atSouth Nov. 20 and left with approximately100 pints of blood. Jane Stinson, director ofthe Monroe County chapter of the program,explained, It was the first time a bloodmobile has visited a Bloomington high school,and it was an excellent turn-out for the firsttime.The fact that the bloodmobile visited ahigh school concerned many parents. Iwould have donated, but my parents wouldnot let me. They said that many high schoolstudents are still growing, and they cantafford to give up a pint of blood.NHS student coordinators for the activitywere seniors Lisa Carroll, Todd Englander,Phil Guba, and Wendy Mulholland.Englander said, It was a good experience in communicating with others. Ialways thought blood donating was something only older people did, but I found outthat it involves people of all ages.A senior donor expressed her feelingsimmediately after the ordeal: At first Ithought that did hurt a little bit, but this ispretty easy actually. A few minutes later Istarted feeling very hot and a little dizzy.The nurse noticed the perspiration on myface and asked if I was feeling all right. Ithought to myself, No, I feel very strange. Ithink Im dying. She put some cold wet towels on my head, which helped a lot . . . Allin all, I guess it was worth all the anxiety,because Im proud now to say that I havebeen a blood donor.Burkhead, KiahBurns, AnnetteBurris, BruceCampbell, PatriciaCarmichael, GregoryCarroll, LisaCarter, MichaelChambers, KimChance, ThadChandler, Catherine124 Seniors/Bloodmobile
