Averaging three hours a day, Melissa Drafting I students Brad Heinz and Danny Goodpaster was put to computerizing the Black use the computer aided drafting pro- poetry book. gram in hopes of gaining the much needed experience at their new challenge. Andry leads PHS to computer generation 'How 'bout them Apples' From poetry books to class scheduling, science fair board displays to yearbook copy, computers are taking over at PHS. Resident computer whiz Phil Andry currently teaches three high school classes designed to educate students about the complicated machines. Under the direction of Jackie Bosley, junior high students are required to take computer literacy classes, increasing in difficulty each year. I want the students to understand some of the very basic commands such as list, run, and home, states Mrs. Bosley. She wants students to enter high school understanding basic programming. Of the 35 Apple computers at PHS, 17 reside at the junior high level. The remaining machines are used for word processing in the business department, publications, athletics programs and papers for students and in the math department. New to the PHS scene are computer aided drafting (CAD) and yearbook by computer. In Drafting I and II, CAD is being used to shorten the time in making blueprint corrections that would otherwise take many hours, explained instructor David Jones. Following a teachers' seminar taught by Mr. Andry last summer, Hillcrest adviser Janet Perry integrated the use of computers in yearbook work. Besides keeping advertising and subscription records on computer, the Hillcrest staff has also learned to write and print out copy for the 1986 book, computerizing the stories, to make corrections and proofreading easier and faster. Secretary Jane Barnett is currently putting scheduling, bookstore files, club accounts and many other office records on computer. With so many interruptions and other duties during the school day, Mrs. ‘ Barnett found that in order to learn the programs, she too had homework. Mr. Andry is in the process of finishing a program for attendance records which will help in the office greatly. Despite all of the uses that computers have at PHS, Mr. Andry feels that they still have a long way to go. “We need an applications course, states Mr. Andry. This would be a course geared to teach everyday use of the computer for people who don't want to program, but still want to be able to use the computer. — by Eva Warren and Susan Wells 20 Student Life
