Terminal Illness Algebra Il and Computer students were exposed to a change in the com- puter system, which was supposed to speed up the response of the computer. The students had just become ac- quainted with the old system when the master computer in Raleigh was switched over to a new system. So, the students had to forget everything they had learned about the old system and start all over again. Now that they learned the basics of the new system, either the computer in Raleigh, the terminal at Burns, or Southern Bell’s telephone lines were out of working order. The main prob- lem was finally found. The Lawndale telephone lines aren't as clear as those in Shelby. They are more staticy and now the new computer is so sensitive that the least bit of static or interfer- ence causes the computer to go ber- serk and mess up the students’ work. Usually the keyboard on the terminal locks up or the typing head starts beat- ing on the paper in the middle of a pro- gram and the only thing you can do is quit. For extra credit, some of the stu- dents made programs to make Christ- mas pictures to be displayed in the classroom, but after all that work of making a program, extra credit couldn’t be given because the com- puter wouldn’t work right long enough to print the picture. Most students have almost the same opinion and attitude toward the com- puter. Al Floyd said, ‘Il enjoy working on the computer, but it seems like whenever | have the time to work on it, it isn’t working. | like to write programs more than | like running the old ones.” Michael Bratton Beth Brock Bernard Brooks Pearlie Brooks Ronda Brooks Sandra Brown Karen Bumgardner Euereka Byrd Kenneth Byrd Micheal Camp Lenita Campbell Kris Canipe Janice Canipe Steve Canipe Donna Carpenter Dwayne Carpenter Kim Carpenter Ronnie Carpenter Juniors 145
