In the past 12 months, St. Luke's Hospital Auxiliary members have donated 31,224 hours of time to the hospital, an amount equal to more than $300,000 if wages had been paid. That's just one of the statistics brought out at the auxiliary's annual meeting Wednesday. Another statistic: the auxiliary has raised and donated to the hospital over $725,000 since 1969. Nearly three quarters of a million dollars is an impressive figure in itself. But it would be interesting to calculate the dol lar value of the services that the hospital would have had to pro vide to net a profit of $725,000. In other words, if the hospital made a profit of five percent during those years, wouldn't it have taken an additional $14 million in patient fees to earn the same $725,000? Call an accountant.

"This J.V. squad has another outstanding season. They have progressed very nicely and have vitalized the game concepts to the point of quality volleyball. If the girls continue to work and stick together, they will be quite a force to deal with down the road in the next couple of years." Team members are: Paula Canady, Erricca Jackson, Tosha Simpson, Jennifer Burrell, Amanda McCallister, Ginger Levister, Blythe Edwards, Cha- sity Dill, Rene Dotson, Tamekia Gray, Joann Thompson, Melissa Lookadoo. Coach Cynthia Terrell says, "The girls played good ball all year, learned a lot about volley- ball fundamentals and were a pleasant group of coachable young ladies. I expect to see all of them to continue improving themselves." J.V. had an outstanding sea son. At press time, they are either in a tie for 1st place in their conference or will be sec ond behind Hendersonville, depending upon the outcome of Hendersonville and Edneyville's ball game. —Community Reporter 50 Pages Today 20c P FRIDAY, OCT. 11,1991 (L-R) Alex and Tayler Dorsum of Columbus, their cousin Adam Whitehead from Indianapolis, IN, and Patrick Gentry of Columbus.
