Computers Scripsit Software Added An expanded schedule of computer classes was implemented by instructors Dick Fobert and Barry Jahn for the year. Included in course offerings was the popular Computers In Society, Programming I and Programming II for more advanced students. The computer classes were structured differently than a normal classroom. Three areas were utilized: a computer class using a black and white Model I, and applied computing area for projects and special work using Model III, black and whites; and finally a computer shop where repair work is done and software is stored. Various software programs have been added to allow students to do a variety of things. The Scriptset program allows words to be edited and mistakes to be deleted; when used with a line printer, a premanent copy of the program can be obtained. The Radio Shack TRS-80, Model Ill’s are used for this purpose and are both reasonably priced and easy to operate. With all classes full and students using the computers before and after school as well as lunch time, the young program was giving every sign of growing. 1. Computer Teacher, Mr. Barry Jahn, Todd Bitikoffer and Gary Winters go over the results of a computer program. 2. Brennan Todd instructs his computer to save his program. 3. John Hubbard watches as the line printer produces a print-out of his program. 4. Dick Fobert discusses new software with Tim Davis. 28 • Computers

Stage Band Group Inherits Blazers John Skelton, new music instructor taking the place of Doug Comsia, brought with him from LaCreole jr. high many new ideas. His ideas, in turn, brought certain changes in the pep band. One change involved making participation at sport events voluntary. “The way I see it, if people don’t want to play they shouldn’t have too, explained instructor John Skelton. “1 want people to be playing the best they can and wanting to do it.” The look of the band was another change which took place. Playing underneath an orange tent for protection at football games gave the musicians a new appeal. Dressing in black shirts and black pants for performances helped to build band morale, a positive change. The band also was given a new sound. “We tried to play more modern music for a change. We also kept some of the more popular old music’’, stated John Skelton. “We also tried to add one new song for each game.’’ The band also received instruments during the year, a new drum set and a new bass guitar, as well. 1. Mike Schellenberg playing a trumpet solo at the Christmas concert. 2. Band Director. John Skelton leads his stage band in a musical selection. 3. Carrie Leonard on bells.
