Senior Van Musser. The art department occasionally uses the computer to create graphic designs and images Elementary students use computers nearly every day. Kindergarteners team alphabet sequencing, play memory con- centration games, learn shapes and soun- ds. and practice reading and phonics exercises Second graders deal mainly with addition and subtraction, while 5th graders begin plotting numbers Mr Miller also taught fifth and sixth grade students to design graphics on their computers. Of course the ail time favorite activity on a computer is playing games Many games have been mastered by high school students The print shop program is extensively used by everyone. The cheerleaders relied upon this luxury during football, basketball, and wrestling season to make locker signs and banners for the players. Often the word processor is expertly used by students to copy class notes or do the senior wills. A college search and career planning program may be obtained from Mr Mougin to help college bound high school students pick colleges and careers Even the yearbook staff will be using the computer on next years's Elm As you can see. the students and faculty members here at LTHS are truly On Line' with today's technology Junior Rod Slaughter. 25 IWSJSSSHSIIUSIU

Senior Jeff Evans, Junior Veronica Eveland Computers are the craze of the 80’s, a branch of technology which la here to stay!! Students and faculty members can complete routine and complicated tasks much faster and more efficiently with the aid of a computer Our school currently owns 15 Apple lie computers, six disk drives, and two printer switches A computer literacy class is offered to high school students. These students learn how the word processor, data base and spreadsheet components of our Appleworks system works Computer usage doesn’t stop there, the office practices, typing II class, and accounting I II classes all use com- puters to complete assignments. Many workbook packets for these classes are set-up for computer use only. This gives students a better awareness of all the tasks a computer can perform The school's administration and secretaries use computers for numerous jobs such as: preparing school budgets, printing out class and monthly schedules, filing personnel and school data, and prin- ting out our student handbook The band members raised enough money detasseling seed com last summer to purchase a computer of their own. Mr. Lodin will design and animate next fall's marching band show on the computer. The Music Patrons monthly newsletter is arranged and printed by our computer, and new pieces of music can be com- posed and printed out with help of the DX21 synthesizer
