Smoke Signals, Wednesday, October 15, 1975 — PAGE 3 Bloodmobile Visit Chowan By DERONA GAY and TERESA MARTIN Chowan had a visit from the Tidewater Red Cross Blood Center October 7 & 8. The Bloodmobile was in the gym from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday the 7th and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday the 8th. One nurse helping with the bloodmobile made the comment, "A good time was had by all.” She might have gotten a few objections if she had spoken a little louder. Another nurse was overheard saying that “they couldn’t have made it without the help of the students.” Many students took turns helping with records and a few were seen fanning some donors. Just anybody couldn’t walk into the gym and give blood. There were a few requirements to be met by a prospective donor. First of all, you had to be 18 or 17 with a parent’s consent. A minimum was set on weight and blood pressure. A donor had to weigh at least 110 pounds and have a blood pressure of 90 over 60 at the lowest. If donors had been ex posed to certain diseases recently, were taking medication, or had had their ears pierced within the last six months they were rejected. This covers only a few of the requirements and shows how particular the nurses have to be about whose blood is accepted. All in all the Bloodmobile was a success. A goal of 200 pints was set and 169 were donated, 114 pints on the 7th and 55 pints on the 8th. This visit there were about 100 donors. Hopefully we will have even more new donors and returning donors the next time the Tidewater Red Cross BloodmobUe comes to Chowan. The opinion of most donors were similar. They agreed that giving blood isn’t painful. It gives you a good feeling about yourself for helping someone who needs the blood you donate. Who knows? The blood you give might help save a life.

That’s what the photographer from Smith’s Studio was saying the week of September 15-19. These pictures were taken for the 1975-76 yearbook. As a special for the Bicentennial, the pictures were taken in color. When the proofs came back students got the privilegse to choose their favorites to be put in the annual. The proofs were on campus October 7-10 and 13-16. The photographers were sorry to report that there was one bad roll of film in the bunch. Students whose pictures were on this roll get a second chance the week of November 17-21 when their pictures will be retaken by ap pointment. This year the annual staff asked fesshmen girls to wear light printed blouses and. sophomore girls to wear dark solid blouses. Boys were asked to wear dark coats with light shirts and neckties. Although this was not required, student co operation was appreciated. Most students were excited about their pictures and thought the camera had done wonders.
