31 GIVE
BLOOD
Thirty-one students
from the Penn State High
acres campus donated blood
at Our Lady of Mount Car
mel Church, in Hazleton
on November 21, 1967.
More than the quota of
55 students pledged blood
but many students were
turned down for medical
reasons.
One of the reasons was
the common cold. A donor
who has a cold weakens
his body's defenses by
giving blood when he is
still under its influence.
Each student who partic
apated in the Bjgood- Drive
by donating one pint of
blood, will receive one
pint free for himself or
any member of his family
if and when it is needed.
