Computers stormed into school. Students whose prior highest com- puter achievement was getting high score on a Pac Man machine were faced with using today's tech- nology seriously in computer classes. Computers popped up all over the school. Computers for the French classes, art classes, year- book staff, newspaper staff, and special education classes became available. A number of computers and printers were added to Mrs. Pat Krejci's already well-stocked com- puter room. I was truly amazed by the surge of computers. It's unbelievable, said Mr. joe Pinckney, a biology teacher who recently was acquaint- earching for an answer. Yearbook typist Carla McMakin combs through a computer book for help.

Junior Brad Meredith said, Computer work is very frustrating. I always seem to push the wrong button. Senior Angi Watkins and junior Rachel Garza also had their share of troubles as well as achievements with computers. They agreed that the class grew more difficult the further they fell behind. But once they caught on, they were fascinat- ed with its many functions. Although finding computer work difficult himself, senior Scott Harrington summed it up best. Taking a computer class will defi- nitely help me later on in life. Pete Carver . pi ww, S255 .is , Q... .M- :ag S .

Developing talents for career use is of utmost importance. Molding students for success is the primary goal of the Golden Strip Career Center and the Fine Arts Center. Since 1974 the Golden Strip Ca- reer Center has given high school- ers training in areas ranging from small engine repair to nursing. Seventy-three students from Mauldin High attended either morning or afternoon classes. Chris Caughman, a student tak- ing Drafting II at Golden Strip said,f I've learned a great deal by spending my mornings at Strip. It's given me training in being an ar- chitect which I plan to be in the future. Unlike Golden Strip, the Fine Arts Center worked with students talented in the arts. Courses taken by Mauldin students were creative writing, photography, percussion, voice, dancing, music theory, visual 68Ct'1lEY4 arts, and theatre. Senior Kate Taylor praised the Fine Arts Center. I encourage any student with talent and interest in the arts to try out for acceptance. It's really a wonderful experience. Junior Lindy Womack, a second year student in theatre said, There's' no other place in the state like the Fine Arts Center. The teachers are fantastic. I've never had so much fun in school. Students who attend the two cen- ters enjoyed their three-hour stay. Junior Lance Sweatt was torn be- tween calling the Fine Arts Center or Mauldin High his home. I real- ly like taking percussion at the Fine Arts Center, but I still think my heart belongs at Mauldin High. The Pine Arts Center and Golden Strip recruited students from vari- ous high schools and called them their own.
