Initiated on a full credit basis, the computer science course updated the curriculum. It has given our students an opportunity to see another field that wasn’t available to them up to this time. (Mr. Regis Endler) With the installation of the NCR Time Sharing terminal, math and science departments were tied more closely together. Simple contact and sign-off operations and basic instruc- tions prompted students to learn fundamental electronics and com- puter mathematics in an experimen- tal and interesting way. Lessons dealt with logical procedures in the solution of a problem and en- abled students to write useful pro- grams in the areas of science and mathematics. Faculty members encouraged stu- dents to develop their computer skills during free time. Individuals who mastered the more complex procedures found it rewarding in solving those difficult math pro- blems. Computer wizardry reduced the chances of mathematical and mechanical error, giving them more time to spend on theory 26

Gestafax Scanner Added to Business Department One of the newest types of copy- ing equipment now being employed in the business world, the Gestafax Scanner, was added this past year to the array of machines used by the business education department. The Scanner, which cost approximately $2300, burns a picture, design, or writing into a stencil. The Gestafax replaces the time consuming mimeo- scope, used until this year for sten- ciling pictures and designs. The machine was utilized in all depart- ments of education. “The use of the new equipment that has been received into the department will definitely help business education students who compete for better jobs in the business world. (Frank Krentz) Other machines purchased this year included the Microfilm Reader Printer and the Dukane Sound Strip Projector. With aid of equipment, teachers were able to acquaint the students with the advancements of the office machines, thus preparing them for jobs in the fast-advancing business offices. 28
