This is often heard by I almost every student from his or her parents. i This year we took advantage of those - things that our parents didn't have, and even i many things we didn't have last year. We took advantage of the opportunity to learn the use of computers. The school received 50, yes, 50 new Texas Instruments computers in November. Mrs. Carolyn Liv- r ingston, librarian, was kept busy all day scheduling computer time for the large y number of interested students. Teachers took workshops in their use and carried them home over the weekends to think of ways to use them in their classrooms. We were of- fered a new class called Data Processing to catch up with the outside world. . Besides new equipment, there were also new rules. We were allowed to wear shorts to school. We took advantage of this during the hot streak that hit the first two weeks of schooL As time passes, we will be confronted with a new age and many new inventions. To prepare for that, we also took advantage of the basic courses that would enable us to par- ticipate in that advanced world. Knowing the world would continue to change, we found it our Hbest bet to grasp the opportunities brought our way. Brushing up on her computer skills, Mrs. Claudia Smith works at the TRS-80 during the lunch hour. The hot streak is too much for Lisa Holli- day as she takes advantage of the oppor- tunity to wear shorts to school. A new electronic typewriter makes the job easier for Sherri Keener in her office procedure class. Opening Section T 7
