MVHS students bare arms for blood drive Students responded in a big way to the recent blood drive at Mountain View High School. According to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center officials, the 388 units collected from the MVHS students represent the highest number of units ever in the 12-year history of the present program. The report said that on a national na-tional average, high schools across the country have only a 3-5 participation rate from those who are eligible to donate. Mountain View had a 56.4 donation rate. The record is 59.4 by Delta High School in Millard County, but Mountain View is very close to setting an all-time high, notes Virginia Johnson, Principal. UVRMC gives credit to Jack Chruma, the human biology teacher at MVHS who organized the drive, for the tremendous success suc-cess they have achieved. Because of his organizational skills, the advance preparation and the assistance as-sistance of the student council and their advisor, Jeri Kelley, the blood bank was able to collect blood from over 190 students each day of the two-day drive. Needless to say, the Medical Center is very grateful and impressed im-pressed with the response elicited from the MVHS student body, hospital officials said in a letter to the school. As well as giving blood as high school students, many will go on to help society in this way throughout their lives, the letter said.
