One of the reasons why this was true was the new TRS-80 Micro-processor acquired this year bythe UHS math department. The new computer used BASIC, which is the dominant programming language of the future and has enabled many students to preform countless functions. These functions range from complicated business programs to popular electronic games. Marriot added, ln the near future the computer department hopes to further serve students and will be offering even more micro-processors. The calculator was also popular in the upper math courses as algebra-trig, and college math. lt was a 'must' for Comsumer Math and ll. On the last day of school, algebra classes did not take a final. Instructor Dr. Bill Shutters built a solar cooker and classes celebrated oncoming summer with a hotdog cookout. 1 Marcia Baumhover Greg Cameron Instructor Mrs. Marcia Baumhover assists General Math students. 4 Algebra students concentrate on a unit test. 5 Selected by the math department, senior Jon Thelin is named Math Standout for the school newspaper.
