REfl: LN5 KEEPS PACE D71TH COMPUTER AGE. Full of screens, commands, programs, chips, controls, disks, printers, graphics, beeps, and data, the world is being revolutionized by the computer industry, and students at Lincoln are slowly being programmed to adjust to the new surroundings. Last year, $16,000 was spent at Lincoln on eighteen new computers and additional equip- ment, and $65,000 was spent over the whole district. Approximately 420 LHS students took computer or data processing classes this year, and the demand is growing. “The future of computers in education is un- limited, stated Jim Riley, Coordinator of Data Processing for the Wisconsin Rapids School District. “In the high school they will be used to teach robotics, computer-aided design, com- puter-aided manufacturing, and electronic con- trols. Because the computer surge is currently evi- dent in all phases of the school, the Ahdawa- gam will focus on 1983-84 as the year of the computer. Along with the friendships, academic growth, and social adjustment, computers will occupy a large passage of our Lincoln High School memory banks. %» Lett: Stuaents and teachers adjusted to the new report card format which entailed the addition of 98 comments.
