The blood drive on Oct. 2 was the most successful blood drive Washington High School has had in seven years. With 142 people signing up, over 52 people were rejected due to lack of equipment and nurses.</p>
“Each donor gives enough blood for transfusion for three people and for research,” senior Sean Chadha said.</p>
Those who participated in the blood drive received a movie ticket instead of ice cream coupons.</p>
“People were more motivated to participate for a movie ticket than a pint of ice cream. This turned out to be a great success!” sophomore Jennifer Chang said.
