Math enthusiasts find fun in working with computers In the age of automation, when an electronic computer can pro- cess data in a matter of seconds, the new Computer Math Club re- served a time for young mathe- maticians to meet, discuss program writing and exchange ideas. Al- though a computer could do two weeks work in seconds, it could only do what was instructed on the program sheet. Since computer math was one of the most advanced math courses, those interested and unable to enroll found that the club offered them a chance to learn the basics of program writing. Club members had programs key-punched and processed week- ly in a computer. Through field trips to Indiana Central, some mem- bers experienced first-hand the skills of key-punching and com- puter operation. Visits to other computer laboratories, guest speak- ers and movies spiced club meet- ings.

Club members investigate outlook of business jobs Business Activities Club took an active look at the many business professions. A program, A Career That Counts, was presented by a representative of the Victor Better Business Bureau. For practical knowledge and for a realistic view of an actual work- ing day, club members visited a local business and listened to var- ious guest speakers. Guest speakers from local businesses included representatives from Indiana Bell Telephone, Merle ' Norman Cos- metics, and the Data Processing School. Business Activities set three main goals for its members. Members were to share a common interest in business, to learn more about opportunities presented by busi- ness, and to further prepare for business careers. President Sherry Van Zandt, vice-president Karen Dolan, and secretary Dianna Shear- er planned business club programs and activities to achieve these three goals for each of the 15 members.

Memorable school events recorded on tape by club Smile! Candid Camera focuses again! Perhaps Candid Camera, Hollywood style, was not available, but for 15 Audio-Visual Club mem- bers, projectors, films, slides, and filmstrips proved to be merely a portion of the growing modern visual aid capacity offered to pupils of Northwest High School. Under the direction of Mr. Nor- man Tripp, the new Audio-Visual Gene King focuses the lens on the school's movie camera as Dan Smashy and Mike McCormick observe. Club video-taped the Christmas program, speech club plays, and basketball games. Members even managed to capture on tape the formaldehyde world of biology, from dissections of fetal pigs to observations of microscope con- jugation. Club members and equipment were available any time to video- tape activities upon request. Mark Evans, janice Ferrell and john Heffley put away audio-visual equipment after an instructional meeting.
