COMPUTERS AND TUTORS Keeping up with techological advancements, the Dysart Business department had several dynamic additions this yeac Since the world thinks computers, so did Dysart. Apple computers were set up in room 104. Students were given experience on these and the Commodore computers. Things they learned included word processing, text editing form letters, reports, and office type simulation. When asked about the computer class, Martha Pedroza stated lt will hem me to understand and to operate a computer Another new addition was the Silvereed typewriters. These typewriters made typing much easier because students didn 't have to wait for the carriage to return, and centering and underlining was at the touch of a button. Mth the expert teaching of Mrs. Stump, Mrs. Amaton Mrs. Robertson, and Mr. lfitchen, and state-ofthe-art equipment DHS was able to better their students' knowledge of busi- ness. Heading into the reading department you may have been surprised to hnd htth grade students in class. A new program, the Metra Program, was designed to help the high school students and the fifth graders. lt helped to impro ve reading skills making it fun to both learn and read in the unique tutoring program. All in all Norma Bazua said Tutoring the Junior High students helped their ability to read and mine also. ONE! Maria Salazar tutors a fifth grade student as part of the Metra Program. TWU!

Math is not just dealing with numbers, it encourages you to think and enables you to hnd the solution to your problems. Students learned skills needed for their future, and of course, their present family economy. They learned how to fill out tax forms, they learned how to hgure their income in a regular daihf budget and they dealt with problems in the business world. As you can see the math department taught students well so they could make it on their own. Mr tinthacum said that what he wanted to do was to help each student develop the skills needed to live a full and happy life. The math department did its best to develop the students' skills so they would be interested in college, technical mechanical and professional fields. A rather new member to the Math department was the comput- er. Actualhf, there were nine. Computer programming was taught in the Ahgebra Valclass as well as in a class of its own. Todd Bakke, President of the Computer Club, said that there should be more emphasis on the uses of computers. Mr. D34ttore stated Computers are really getting into the life of every individual because of their diverse uses and also because they are easy to operate. Learning how to cope in the world was the main goal in the Math department this year. Thanks to Mr. tinthacum, Mr. D71ttore, Mrs. Poland and Mr. Eadleman, that goal was easihf reached onej Eli Murillo pays very close attention to Mr. Eadelman. twoj Mrs. Poland points out a particularly interesting problem. three!
