■; f ,-. ' Predictions prove true Unsure of what lay ahead, students and faculty guessed at what the future would bring. Math is the future, said junior Ken Wada. Word processing is the way to go. It ' s right that students be able to hove a knowledge of computers before entering the business world, Principal Richard Kirwan stressed. It is inevitable that everything will someday be run by computers, said senior Kim Ho. Other students also adopted the belief, and planned ac- cordingly. Filled to capacity, math, science, and other academic classes reflected the trend toward developing skills in technical areas. I ' m taking computer programming to help me in the future. In any technical field, knowledge of computers will be a necessity, commented senior Mike Bourns. This attitude was echoed by other students as well. People who are toking computer program- ming will be able to go out into the community and apply their knowledge. If I ever have to compete for a job, I think one of the deciding factors will be who knows how to use computers. In that respect, I think I will have the edge since I ' ve taken computer programming, commented Ho. Realizing the needs of graduates. Orange took steps to provide the necessary equipment. While other SI schools hired aides, We bought materials that will be here in years to come, said Kirwan. The twenty new computers did, indeed, temporar- ily fulfill students ' needs. And so, while they were often unfamiliar with the pressures of adult life, graduates from Orange High began their acquaintance with the real world; they began to program for the future. — NH The Energy Fountain oi Isomu Noguchi ' s California Scenario provides ttie selling for Sonjo Gregurek and tier compuler.

Options regulate energy output With a variety of high and low voltage activities to choose from, stu- dents often faced the decision of which ones to try and program into their often already overloaded -schedules. Working, going to school, activi- ties, participating in sports and clubs, ond relaxing with family ond friends, were |ust a few of the ways students spent their time outside of classes. Becouse finding time for all their inter- ests was not always easy, a choice sometimes arose forcing students to decide whot was most importoni to them. Alicia Cosner, who worked two jobs and porticipoted in athletics, could not always be with her friends OS much as she wanted although, Casner s tated, It wasn ' t too bad be- cause most of my friends were made through my jobs. - - The time spent on school activities alone also required some to carefully plan their schedules. Megan Stock, who porticipoted in sports and cheering, but who also went to dances and other school functions felt It was worthwhile. I like the octivi- ties because it ' s fun to socialize and see my friends, said Stock. Both on and off compus students managed to keep themselves busy in one way or another. Whether it was only a |ob, o lootboll game, or |ust o lunchtime activity, students were rar- ely without something to do. s pnd Brian Hill i PB Stpve Harms pnd Brian Hill (below) support thfe football team nt the |rst home ohme of th ; season ohainst Garaen Grove. jAt the opening day pssembly, r iascots Ronay Ruiz aid Tina Mijchell (atxaye right) l d rtie ■CTbwd-w-a-steirftB ' d ' cligsr-trire-a ' VJafwef ' Pdc-man fever, a diseose tfiat plagued large numbers of students, Kir| Drewry tests tier liar game, j skill at Robofilon, a similar game
