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. Ms. Hoysepion reads o her English students. 3. In the computer class, Mr. Stringer works with Ravon Taylor on her program. 256 We ' re the Kids of America

Exercising to Exhaustion W. I ' m all ready for my aerobic class. I look really cute, all decked out in my green leotard. Everyone probably thinks I ' m Kermit the Frog ' s long lost cousin. As we walk into the gym, Ms. Whitta- ker, the teacher, instructs us to sit down and get ready for the first exercise. Okay, girls, watch how I do this, she bellows as she begins an impossible rou- tine of stretching exercises. Fun, Fun, Fun. This couldn ' t be an exercise, it hurts too much. This sure is a silly way to lose weight. I feel like I ' m dying in the process. I suck in my gut and continue stretching. What are these intelligible sounds? Why it is, it ' s music. Sounds like it must be Jane Fonda ' s favorite song. Just what I need, company. The foot- ball players have just sauntered in. They probably think we ' re the Army recruits. I breathe in and try to act graceful. I think I ' m suffocating. Oh boy, it ' s the third exercise of the day, and I definitely think I ' m dying. My whole life is flashing before me, and I still have thirty-five minutes left of my aero- bics class. Finally, the class is over. What an or- deal, I think I could write one of those I survived stories and send it in the Read- er ' s Digest. Don ' t get me wrong, since today ' s the first day, I guess it ' s expect- ed that I should be a mite sore. Ms. Whittaker said that after the first few times I ' d get used to it, and really start to enjoy it. I hope so. 1. Halloween entices Mr. Sturm to moke a spectocle of himself. 2. Ms. Munnecke and Tiffony Nittle practice volleyball returns. 3. In th Falcon Room, Mr. Libby and Coach Rodovich enjoy their lunch. 2 M ' - Murray, Williom Reading Newman, Sandy Special Education Nygren, Debbie Social Science Parrett, Ruth Nurse Pearce, Cynthia Home Economics Peterson, Mariorie Physical Education 258 1 n Bv H r f
