You can be sure Mr. Wildesin does. On that date he first arrived at Midlothian to replace retired social studies teacher, Mrs. Wolfe, who resigned to devote full energies to her antique shop. Mr. Wildesin, having a pro- found fascination with Ameri- can history, attended William and Mary from 1968 until 1972. From 1972 to 1973, he did his graduate history work at the University of Virginia. In 1973, Mr. Wildesin began teaching in Danville, Va., instructing students from grades seven through twelve in government, world history, social studies, and geography. In 1974, he moved to the Fair- fax-Alexandria area of North- ern Virginia, where he taught seventh grade social studies. Here Come the Judge! Mr. Wildesin attended the Marshall-Wythe law school at William and Mary from 1975 through 1978. In October of 1979 he passed his Virginia bar exam. Congratulations! The 1979-1980 school year was Mr. Wildesin’s last year at Midlothian. He, in his own words was “plunging into the ranks of the unemployed.” He expects to become involved in state government here in Rich- mond. Wildesin is an avid reader of political commentary and enjoys antiques, traveling, and collecting Virginia books and prints. In the 1980-1981 school year, Mr. Wildesin will be greatly missed. This year was a year that was marked by his sponsorship of a successful Bat- tle of the Brains team. In what- ever he endeavors, we wish him the best of luck!

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.
