Computer Fair B2 Is TreasurE TravE of New IdEas and REsaurcES Beeps, buzzes, and clicks filled the Media Center on Wednesday, October 13, as hundreds of interested students, teachers, and visitors pressed buttons and watched video screens in the school's first Computer Fair. Organized by Mr. |ohn Hird, the Media Center's newly appointed coordinator, the Fair was an unprecedented success in in- forming students as to the myriad of computer resources available in the area. Beginning at 9:30 a m., participants in the Fair set up their demonstrations One of the school's math teachers, Mr Charles Unger, demonstrated a Com- modore Vic 20 home computer On it. he programmed a computerized Morse code transmitter, sending up to thirty- five words per minute; a computerized Mr. Potato Head game, a simpler ver- sion of a more sophisticated criminal identification system; and a program designed to identify words in a word search puzzle. Other participants from the school, seniors Kevin Edwards, Chris Lunz, )ay Czarnecki, and Darryl Hughes demonstrated a computerized English quiz game, an Osbourne word pro- cessor. and a computerized phone directory. Mr. Unger commented. As a participant, I think Mr. Hird did a fan- tastic job in organizing this. Not only did participants come from the school, they came from many towns and companies Representatives from such companies as Texas In- struments. Apple Computer, and Atari crammed the mezzanine full with video simulations, tutorials, demonstrations, and participation stations. Texas In- struments even had a van loaded with their innovative home computers for all to see and use. students and guests in- cluded. Guests from other area schools including Long Branch. Rumson-Fair Haven, and Matawan were impressed by the orderliness of the Fair and its variety Mr Hird was pleasantly surprised by the results of his efforts. It was more than I expected in the sense that I wanted to create an awareness in the students of computers, he stated. He added, The level of activity, the hands-on experience, and the helpful operators made the Fair a success. Senior Kevin Richardson definitely en- joyed the Fair I was amazed by the number of small parts in the computers I saw Many students and visitors were equally intrigued by the numbers of people in attendance Senior Richard Radzik commented, The Fair was pret- ty good but it should be longer next year because it was so crowded. This proves that the Computer Fair was a definite winner this year, a treasure trove of fun and expanding awareness, and hopefully an incentive for many to keep searching for treasures in computers.
