Computers and math: A winning combination Approximately 250 students are involved in the 10 introductory and 2 advanced com- puter courses offered. The computer lab, containing 20 Apple ll computers, is used continuously from 7:30 A.M. to 4:30 p.m. each day. In the introductory courses, students learn BASIC programming fundamentals and word processing. The advanced courses offer a higher level language, PASCAL. The courses prepare students for higher level courses in college or for entry level opportunities for on-the-job training in business. All classes are challenged daily by activities such as problem solving, programming, word pro- cessing, and graphics. The advanced classes went to the IBM of- fices in Las Colinas in December. The students saw the high speed laser printer, and telecommunication linkup systems. They were also shown the large mainframe com- puters with tremendously large storage and computing capabilities. The introductory class saw a demonstration of computer ap- plications here at DHS including the robot in metal trades class, the flight simulator in AFROTC, the graphics printer in commercial art, and the word processor on Vocational Office Education. The computer lab is open every day from 3:30-4:30 for individual use. Students come in regularly to work on assignments, subjects other than programming, and individual pro- jects. Another popular use is that of using the PSAT and SAT tutor disks. The student need not be a programmer to use these disks and help is available. The Math Team consisting of 25 members: the Varsity Computer Team, made up of Bryan Patrick, Scott Iverson, and Heath Gulden: and the Junior Varsity Computer Team made up of Jason Weinstein, David Croley, and Chris Pearce, compete in many local and regional competitions. One goal of the Math Team was to win an invitational competition which they did at Plano and South Grand Prairie. 22 4 V -1?- Qunng lg ,il MATH TEAM: Front Row: Hyun Oh, David Croley, Kevin Land, Yon-Fu Lan, Secretary: Shi-Ling Lan Second Row: Cheryl Lewis, Mark Morrlsson, Shawn Brown, Frank Duffy Third Row: Jim Morgan, Martin Kassirzadeh, secretary: Scott Iverson, president: Bryan Patrick ty it J VARSITY COMPUTER TEAM: Bryan Patrick, Scott Iverson, Heath Gulden, and friends: Paula Stout, Diane Lewis v 1 I an 1 1, , A 1' n gb x ' J A ' I
