Year of computer aids math classes 1983-84 was not just the Year of the Dragon at Round Rock High, it was also the year of the computer. Computers were used by vocational classes, faculty members, business classes, computer math students and other math classes. Each class seemed to have its own com- puter whiz kid. James Tidman, senior,,was the genius for Shirley Kinningham's TAG trigonometry f elementary analysis class. Tidman spent much of his class time graphing complex equations on the screen, using programs he wrote himself, and chang- ing them as needed to meet the growing demands of the class. Tidman's graphs enabled the class to see the shape of various mathematical equa- tions. According to Kinningham, this was im- portant because, if you can visualize the equation, you have a starting point for solv- ing problems. I Kinningham's classes were not the only ones to enjoy the advantages of computer technology. Tom Foster's TAG geometry class was also deeply involved with computers. amantha Mercer Kevin Metcalf Susan Milb f, I 1 James Montgomery Mark Moore Todd Moore Morales Mike Morehouse Dave Moses Greg Mugg Lisa Murphy KW -3 .x rf Gary Murray Kenneth Naul Tammy Neighmond Kellin Neiman Michael Nelson Tami Nestor Hy Nguyen Doug Nichols Leeroy Nicoson Mike Neiderhauser Michelle Nord Chnstian Oliphant Trudi O Neal Manuel Orona Rudy Ortegon Noelle O Sickey 174 Freshmen urn

Proving theorems among the ichines are Craig Collinsworth, junior, and Rachelle illman, sophomore. With expanding industrialization, the town of Round Rock has grown larger every year. Unfortunately, Round Rock High's building has not grown, leading to some overcrowding. Not only are many classes larger, but there are not enough classrooms for all the teachers to have a permanent room of their own. Although teachers have had to share rooms before, this year spawned a new breed of teacher, the migrant One of these new rovers was Mimi Kotz, who after weeks of changing rooms finally settled down in room 120. Not only teachers were affected by the phenomenon. The Dragonettes unsuc- cessfully looked everywhere on campus for a permanent place to practice. They have been seen in the student center at 6:30 a.m. working to polish that night's performance. Once they even work- ed out on the football field's parking lot, ac- companied by whistles and horns from the cars passing by. Some classes were also held in very strange places. A biology class temporarily occupied Lloyd Corder's history room during seventh period, history and English classes were held in the fieldhouse, and for a time, there was a health class in the band hall. Math teachers also had their headaches. Both Mrs. Hebbe and Mr. Ponder had classes in typing rooms, and sometimes working around the machines got on everyone's nerves. As one of Mr. Ponder's geometry students, junior Debra Traber said, it can be a real pain. Hopefully, new classrooms to be built soon will help relieve some of the crowding. Freshmen 173
