Keeping Us Together “Mrs. Lavender, could I hav a pass?” “Would you sign my note?” “Do you know where Mr. P oates is?” “Mrs. Frady, here is some money for you.” “Mrs. Barnes, is Mrs. Jones busy?” These were frequent replies to our ladies in the office. It never failed that every time they started something, they were always interrupted by someone. It was a good thing they were there though, for without them most of us — teachers and students alike — could not have survived!

Computer Bum! “Hi, Everyone!” That is a sample of a compute program that could be taught in the computer math class. Mrs. Teresa Ellis taught this course in the BASIC language for all stu- dents who were interested in com- puter. Mrs. Ellis has been interested in computers ever since she was in college at Longwood. While she was attending Longwood College math majors were asked to attend a course in FORTRAN — another of the many computer languages. The course, which was taught at neighboring Hampden-Sidney College, was the first computer course offered there at that time. After Longwood College, Mrs. Ellis attended Virginia Polytech- nic Institute and State University, where her interest in computers continued to grow. After she graduated from VPI and SU she began teaching math at Robious Middle School. While she was at Robi- ous her interest in computers was aroused once again by Mr. Gilpen Brown, who now works at the Math and Science Center. He acquainted her with the BASIC Language. After her exposure to the BASIC Lan- guage on the Computer termi- nal at Robious and in courses at the Math and Science Center, she decided to teach an explor- atory course in BASIC for sev- enth graders. When she began teaching at Midlothian, she wanted to teach a computer course here also. In 1978 a com- puter math class was begun with thirteen students. In 1979 the number grew to thirty-six students and next year the pro- jected enrollment of the class is forty students. Mrs. Ellis enjoys teaching, but she especially enjoys teach- ing this class, because it is a “different” class. She teaches it for all students, no matter what math level they are on. She also tries to keep the class interest- ing by exposing the students to all aspects of computers through speakers, field trips, and of course, first-hand expe- rience. She is extremely contented that more and more students are becoming interested in computers. Computers play an important role in our lives, and in more colleges and universi- ties than not, courses in com- puter are becoming mandatory. It is something everyone can enjoy, in fact, through her enthusiasm, her entire family has become interested in com- puters. Arcelle Collier — Accounting Joan Cousins — Government; U.S. and Va.
