Bloodmobile Visits
Guilford Campus
The fifth annual visit of the Red
Cross Bloodmobile to the Guilford
campus on March 5 was not as
successful as in previous years. In
fact this year's participants num
bered only 107, 25% less than last
year's total of 142.
This year 86 Guilford College
students gave blood; in comparison
99 Guilford College students gave
blood in 1956. Three faculty mem
bers gave blood this year; there
were three faculty blood donors
last year. Ten residents of the Guil
ford College community gave blood
this year, as compared with forty
last year. Ironically five students
from High Point College gave
blood here.
Mrs. Dorothy Thompson, Direc

Blood Program of Guilford County
was in charge. Bob Johnson, John
Juchter, and Anabelle Elias formed
the campus canvassing committee.
Dr. Norman Fox, Guilford Col
lege's newest physician was doctor
in charge.
