Computer Class s ln early l977, Bev Bielema received her first Apple computer for classroom use. She now has six computers in her room and the high school has purchased many other machines. ln addition to the nine computers in the library, others with printers are located in the office, and a word processor has been added in Carla Ochanpaugh's room. The middle school has even added comput- ers for students' use. Librarian Doris Wherry says that most students are becoming quite computer literate. With com- puter classes offered at Orion High, students are able to learn the basics of computer programming. We hope in the future to offer sophomores or juniors basic computer programming and then of- fer an advanced class, says Bielema. With the increased use of computers in many areas of society, knowledge in computer fields is not only an asset, it is a necessity. Classes like computer programming are being offered in al- most every high school. Orion High has made great progress toward teaching computer skills and plans to maybe expand in the future. The basic parts of the computer system include: the display screen, the key- board, and the disc drive. After typing in their heart printout.

killed Craftsmen Frank Cramm and Gary Hamer's beginning woods class teaches students who have some tal- ent with woodworking how to make simple pro- jects, for instance, pencil holders and wall shelves. Most students feel this is a good class because they can use the skills they learned from it in the future. Before they actually begin working with the wood, they must pass two different tests which include tool and machine safety, and naming tools. machines, and parts. Over the years, we have had very few accidents in the shop, none serious. We attribute this to the stress on safety, says Cramm. Frank Cramm watches as his I.O. l woods class practices cutting different joints in small blocks of wood. Mark Tholl and Corey Sheppard prepare to make their final measurements. l58 Industrial Arts Q!
