Unlike the old system, these reports did not have to be signed by a parent and returned to the school. A carbon copy of each print-out was kept on file in the school's office. The computer system was able to do much more than just print-outs. It gave information on each teacher such as how many A, B, or C stu- dents he had in his classes. It selected the honor roll, valedicto- rian, and ranked each student in his class. The computer also showed how many classes a student passed or failed - just about anything once it had collected a student's name and grades. The computer grade reporting system was new in 1981 to San Angelo, but has been used in the past few years by schools all over the country. The system was a dramatic change, and while not everyone may have approved, it nevertheless forwarded Lake View's growth of modernization with the changing world around us. PAGE 16: 1.

Out with the old and in with the new. This was the case as Lake View showed signs of keeping up with the changing times. Yes, out went the old report cards and long hours of averaging endless rows of grades, and in came the new com- puterized grade report sheets. lt was a long drawn-out process at first, organizing the new compu- terized program, but the end result made the beginning effort worth- while. According to assistant princi- pal, Bob Meeks, the most trouble came in gathering all of the informa- tion needed to be put into the com- puter, but once the information was there, it stayed. This saved a great amount of time and energy for everyone, especially the faculty. First, each student's schedule was fed into the computer, located in San Antonio. Then, at the end of each six weeks' period, teachers filled out bubble sheets, a sheet consisting mainly of circles to be shaded in. The students' grades for that six weeks were put on the bubble sheets along with com- ments selected by each teacher from a list of comments, both good and poor, about the student. The teacher also gave the student a grade based on citizenship in class. After all of the information had been put into the computer, it came out on individual print-out sheets and was then given to each student. Each print-out consisted of stu- dent's name, title, period, and teacher for each course, letter grades for each subject, citizenship grades, and comments on the stu- dent. The print-out also consisted of a grade code, showing the average each letter grade stands for and the list of comments which the teacher could choose from. Every print-out contained all the information from all of the previous six weeks' peri- 16 Student Life A tt. , Sk A W Wstsi.il'Mf

s 'Drag' Provides Variety: S A By Terry Bahlman Staff Writer . Traffic is heavy, cars are lined along the street. Parking lots are nearly full and the roar of E engines drowns the usual calmness. From the air it would look like an unending procession of g l hundreds of cars and trucks. if While it sounds like a rush-hour traffic jam, it may occur as late as midnight, for it is a typical weekend night. ' j Teenagers dominate the scene rather than businessmen, working women or shoppers. The f parents are at home, but the kiddies ' have come out to play. Not with tinkertoys or Star Wars . characters, but with grown-up toys, commonly known as cars. i The play is, seemingly, to waste gas and tires in a game called riding around or to some , cruising . The toys are anything from a '55 Chevy to an '80 Porsche. lt all depends on how V much money you make or how much money your daddy makes. The object of the game is, well let's see. l The thing that makes the weekend game so interesting is that even though the object usually L remains the same, the way you play and the results are sometimes different. The object of a typical weekend for males is explained by Toby Allen, senior, in this way, To , get out of the house, organize parties, chase girls, and just check out what's going on. ' For girls, the object of the game is slightly different. According to Tammy Hudson, senior, girls go anywhere there are good looking guys. A Like all good games, the weekend game has its pitfalls. There are fights, wrecks, flat tires and cars that won't run but the most popular form of setback is a policeman, commonly referred to as chips, fuzz, pigs, and the law. P ' it..
