"There's always excitement,” he
says. “You’re under pressure to
provide the quality of care you’d
expect for your own family.
“In the back of your mind, you

treated?”’
Always a physician on duty.
The emergency department has
a physician on duty 24 hours a day,
and each of its full-time physicians
is a specialist in emergency
medicine. Randy Gallagher, D.O.,
is the physician director.
Since patients range from
critically injured motorists to
children with sore throats, the
most serious problems are treated
first.
However, patients with minor
emergencies can count on prompt
professional attention.

most of the conversation and

He gets so excited he hollers a lot!

swings. I get ready and then I hit it

Laura attended the board meeting
Friday evening, May 1, where
candidates for the 1987-88 offices
were introduced.
A candidate for the office of
vice-president, Laura was elected
and inducted into her new office on

Service projects, such as buying a

putting up blue-bird houses at the
other, were also discussed.
On Saturday morning the group

"We sponsor a‘Taste-OfT compe-
tition in different regions of the
state. We encourage our members to
enter recipes they have developed.
What we hope is that they will
convert favorite family dishes into
recipes that adhere to the Weight
Watchers food plan,” she said.
This year’s regional contests will
take place in: Tulsa, April 25, 1:30
p.m., at Weight Watchers Center
and Oklahoma City, May 2, at 1:30

In addition to the “Taste-OfT
judging each regional competition

tionally based foods available as a
part of the Weight Watchers food
plan.”
Those interested in learning about

duled "Taste-Off” to attend a mini-

The Ardmore Higher Education
Program continues to attract large
numbers of returning college stu-
dents and first time enterting seniors
to the center campus.
In contrast to the fall and spring
semesters when enrollment is mostly
working adults, the summer session
attracts a large number of students
aged 17-21. “These young people
have discovered small class sizes and
personal instruction to be just what
they need to keep academically alert
until classes resume in the fall,” said
Director Bill Darnell.
He added that students between
their junior and senior years in high
school may take up to six credit
hours with written approval from
their high school principal.
Academic advisors representing
East Central University (Ada), Mur-
ray State College (Tishomingo), and
Southeastern Oklahoma State Uni-
versity (Durant), will be at the
Center on a regular basis throughout
the enrollment period. Financial aid
counseling is available daily.,
All courses are offered for resi-
dence credit at the center and are
transferable to any state institution.
Prospective and ret rning stu-
dents may enroll in classes without
fee payment during the enrollment
period. However, to reserve a per-
manent place in a class students
should finalize their enrollment with
payment at the time of enrollment.
The center is located in Ardmore
one-half mile east of Commerce
Street on State Highway 142 West,
adjacent to the Ardmore High
School. For additional information
call 223-1441.
