Hackers away! This generation belongs to the hackers. Mitty obtained ten Hewlett-Packard computers to accommodate students needs. Proposals for the grant were presented two years ago and updated several times. Persons involved included parents Joe Brescia, Bob Mitchell, Gail James, Dir- ector of Development George Reilly, and computer and science teacher Judy james. The ten HP's will be useful in compu- ter-aided instruction, especially in reme- dial programs, and the staff will be encouraged to use them. Students can use these and other computers in the resource room through a user-access card. Last autumn, seven Apple IIe's were received. The four original NorthStars will be sold, and fifteen more Apples will be obtained. The Capital Endowment Campaign provides for a computer lab in the future. Our goal is computer literacy for all Mitty graduates, commented computer science teacher Larry Oliveria. -Li Miao- The crispy crunch of little greens With crisp greens, crunchy carrots ai spicy salad dressings, the salad l: caused new waves in the campus f food business. Introduced a few weeks before the e of the first semester, the salad bar vs created to provide an alternative to t junk people often eat when they a hurried, commented cafeteria head A nette Katz. The bar also offered yogu: soup, bread and potato skins. The salad bar required a number materials to get started, including t bar itself, a sneeze guard, and, of cour the produce. New personnel were al hired to run the concession. I think the salad bar is great. I lo healthy foods and I especially li salads, commented sophomore An Choice. Plus, it takes as little time get a salad as to get a candy barf' At a price of 81.50, the salad bar set precedent by providing quick yet healtl food. -Lori Weichenth The pitter patter of little pupils . ' ' x X - 46 Watch for more toddler-toting teachers around school. Karen DeMonner, Ron Nicoletti's wife Val, Rick Petrich's wife Marilyn, and Dave Brown's wife Adriane all gave birth this year. And Mimi and joe Bauer are expecting. Megan Petrichis birth September 20 at 7.8 pounds was wonderful news for her beaming parents. However, nature likes to procrastinate. Taryn Noelle Nicoletti made her grand entrance a week late on February 2, weighing eight pounds, thirteen ounces, dad wisely prepared himself and his other daughter Tracy for sibling rivalry. Nicholas DeMonner arrived three weeks late on February 9, a healthy seven pounds, six ounces. The Browns received jennifer sooner than expected in March, but daughter is doing well. Bauer's students have been suggesting suggesting names for her child, due july 16, while father joe has been reading books and redecorating. How'd they get pregnant in the first place? Bauer has her suspicions: It's from drinking out of the same glass as Debbie Rochaf' -Li Miao- ETV: The medium a Il Three master minds met. Inspirational ideas poured out, we thoroughly thought over, and like thr mad scientists breathing life into a Fra kenstein, ETV News was born. Religion teacher Steve Herrera wa ted to spice up homerooms with a live ftapedj news program that would cap vate students and encourage school i ooloement. Other members of the were English teach Catherine and ETV Technician lim Falcone Sanders helped with material and cone with general production.

The cafeteria was strategically di- into three areas, providing activities and pastimes Seaquence played stage, as people danced below. progressive rock included songs, and ones by Gene- Asia, Pink Floyd, and others. A clearance was made in ront of the stage to provide a com- act but efficient dance floor. Tables in the rest of the cafeteria seated people grabbing a bite to eat or resting on danced-out feet. Student Government members brought refreshments, the Booster Club sold food while students cleaned up. This was not the first time such an activity was held. Called the Coffee House last year, it was not as suc- cessful, perhaps because of lack of entertainment. Fallon had originally caught on to the idea of a Coffee House at a workshop the year be- fore. That night was actually the sec- ond time Seaquence set foot on lvlit- ly soil. Seaauence had originally been scheduled to play before Pen- ny Lane last October lst. But the foot- ball game had been rained out the day before, and both events were packed into one hectic Saturday, leaving no room for Seaauence's performance. Thus, they made their reappearance for the Nightclub! Concert. improvements aimed for next year are better advertisement and more variety in refreshments. Everything went as planned. The small crowd thoroughly enjoyed themselves, said Fallon. - Li lVliao -

And the winners are. . . College to most seniors becomes the focus of their hopes and fears as they near graduation. Will they be accepted to the colleges they applied for? Will they be able to find housing or enter the field of their choice? Or, will they be discouraged by financial problems? College is an expensive investment, but some students are receiving a helping hand: scholarships and awards. They were well-deserved and well-received. john Little Outstanding Teen in America Award Total: 32100 Bill Rehbock San Jose Optimist Club School winner honored at luncheon Mark Scully Daughters of the American Revolution Outstanding Citizen-Senior class award Kathy Nino Soroptimist International Outstanding Student Award Kim Kistler San lose Optimist Club School winner honored at luncheon Michelle Doyle Veterans of Foreign Wars Speech Cont- est Voice of Democracy Speech-825 Elk's National Scholarship Contest District Level Second Place Santa Clara Youth Hall of Fame- Nancy Novak San jose Transit District Essay Contest Work Scholarship Santa Clara Youth Hall of Fame National Merit Scholar Brenda Broadus National Merit Scholar Donna Blum Good Samaritan Hospital- 8600 Bank of America Awards -Certificates- Drama-Carolyn Brilla Music-Tim Mills English-Mark Scully Foreign Language-Lupita Velez Social Studies-Dan N orbutas Laboratory Science-Kathy Nino Mathematics-Richard Klein Business-Lynn Gohmann -Plaques- Applied and Fine Arts-Margaret Pium- arta Liberal Arts-Kim Kistler Science!Mathematics-Michael Andrew Thomas il :XQXXX XX WX' ' ' lX ll X: :X X:illiXlX:lXX X li :X N: S: girls, girls atte the message We just wanted to brighten up hom- eroom,', explained Herrera, and give the students something to look forward to. With this idea in mind, ETV News was set in motion. Brandy Parris, Dave Truhe, Tina johnson and Carolyn Brilla each became an anchor person, taking turns depending on the assignment. ETV immediately distinguished itself through its use of on-location filming, interviews and feature stories. The second edition contained a look at the new salad bar, replete with filmed footage and interviews of cafeteria pa- trons. The behind-the-desk readings were also supplemented with out-in-the- field interviews and the use of computer graphics. Playing every Friday, the ETV segments supplanted the reading of announcements in homeroom. Creativity and necessity sparked this master plan, participation and enjoy- ment will carry it into its broadcasting future. -Tina Johnson- college, hopefully and know. :X iiiiiii X Y :: .,, ' l l ll I ,,...
