Now the 80 ' s are here, and the most popular class is one that prepares you tor the future. It all has to do with computers. Computers have been around for many years; but, with the recent popu- larity of video games, came an appre- ciation for computers among the youh- ger generation. Here at RHS, we have a newly estab- lished class to prepare students for this wave of the future. The class as of yet has only four Apple computers, which they received in February, 1982 for $7,000. Mr. Stringer, teacher of the computer class stated that they need a few more computers to give students a height- ened access to them. Within the next couple of years, the math department hopes to purchase more computers, since the prices have gone down be- cause of the increased demand. In the classroom, students learn ev- erything they need to know about oper- ating the basic computer, and they get an inside glimpse at the real brain be- hind video games. This class is futuristic in concept, since somewhere in the future, everything will be computerized, if 1. It looks like Mr. Barnes was prompted to smile by someone. 2.
