They’re working in the office, library, bookroom, even the classroom. That’s right, Debora Blosser, senior, has begun teaching for a grade’ “I needed something to do for a project in my GT science class. Mrs. Miriam Simon suggested I teach South Campus students to run and operate computers,” said Debbie. “It’s not really a class, it’s more like a seminar or group session,” said Mrs. Nancy Fellinger, South Campus teacher. The students seem to enjoy the class. “I like working with Debbie,” said Julia Holmes, eighth grader. “She’s a great influence on all of us.” “The class is entirely run by Debbie,” said Mr. Wholf. “I offer no assistance whatsoever. I watch her work from time to time, but I never get in the way.” Debbie is trying to give the students some type of an edge. Our world is one of technology and intelligence. “By the time we’re out into the world and begin setting our goals, this nation will be completely and entirely computerized,” said William “Billy” Watson, eighth grader. Students in Debbie’s class are Tony McClosky, Tammy Shepard, Lori McCallop, Kim Kndred, Ameer Khan, Theordos Logan, Carl Sharp, Delisa Rooks, Robert Meier, Clay- ton Rainey, Steve Snowden, Julia Holmes, and Billy Wat- son.
