Each person who wishes to give a pint of blood must obtain an appointment slip from this table and must appear at the time designated on Tuesday.- Circle К wants to make the donation of blood as speedy and efficient as possible, and will appreci¬ ate having students keep their appointments. Sign-up for the prospective donors began today and will con¬ tinue through Tuesday. Clubs are urged to get their members out to do their part in this drive. A trophy is awarded each year to the club whose members donate the most pints of blood.

These cards must be signed by the stu¬ dent’s parent or guardian be¬ fore he is eligible to give his pint.
