Hard ork Pays Gff For the last few years, the Eldorado Math Department has sponsored extensive and necessary fundraisers in hopes of acquiring enough money to update the computer room. This year their dream finally came true. With the money from candy sales, paper drives, can collecting and other miscelan- eous fundraising, the Math Department was able to purchase twelve new IBM PC computers for their use in Computer Science classes. Previously, the department had a card feeder and a total of two terminals. They, thus, had twice as many terminals than could be found in the rest of the APS high schools. The computers weren't exactly a dream come true. Now the Math Department has found itself troubled by lack of space. The computer room, today. contains about fourteen terminals and lecture seating for about thirty people. Unfortunately. the room provided lacks this space, and the students found themselves bottled in. There were several solutions for this space problem. but none seemed without compromise. Possibly. the most promising was waiting until the new high school opens in l986 Top Row from left to right: Glenden Casteel, Ed Bisetti. Sandra Matthews. Susan Marquez, .lim Griscom.

Fore- ground: Roger Mikeal and Jim Kohr.' and expanding into the space created by a drop in enrollment. ln I 986. a computer course will be part of the re- quired curriculum. The Math Department will be di- vided, and a new Computer Department will be created. Then, computer courses will no longer grant math credit but will be a necessary and separate credit. This year, the Home Eco- nomics Department also purchased computers. They bought a total of thirty Ap- ple lles for use in a computer literacy program. This pro- gram is designed to teach students the basics of BASIC and other computer func- tions and will begin in l986. Richart Gruette Carol Koblinski 45. Mathematics

This Office Activates The Activities Office might be called the hub of student life at Eldorado. Dr. Pat Renken, Activities Director. and her secretary, Nancy Escue direct the activities from their office in the cafeteria. The daily announcements and scholarship information are available in the office. Students also come to the Activities Office for locker assignments and locker problems, for new students l.D.'s bus schedules and also for lost and found items. The student government is a very big part of the activities program. At Eldorado there is a student president: the l984-85 school year president is Jerome Gomez, and his vice-president is Todd LeCesne. Also there are two legisla- tive groups. First, there is the Student Senate. the major . y voice of the student body, and secondly. there is the House of Representatives. The House is made up of elected students from each homeroom. Also each grade xf level has four elected stu- dents who are that grade level's class officers. There are lots of things to be done TZ17' in the Activities Office throughout the year. and Mrs. Renken and Mrs. Escue don't have many quiet mo- ments. 9 Q Above, from left to right: Pat Renkin and Nancy Escue.
