They did a pretty good job, too. The teachers invited guest speakers to come and talk with the students. The speakers added a different view to the class and got the students in- volved in discussions. When people visited occasion- ally and broke the routine of read- ing, doing vocabulary, and writing essays for a day, it made a refresh- ing change, and was very M -tffr welcomed. 4 4 f . 9,1 lvll 5.110 N Who's Who In English? 7, 1 , . f 'f ,ztiafwff Q4 , '7'73K,- f .

Seneca Valley is doing its part to help students be able to cope in our fast changing society. Com- puters are being used more and more in our world today. Seneca is helping us by offering computer classes. We have six of them. The students use Apple 11e Comput- ers and a variety of programs. They learn to write programs to direct the computer to do differ- ent tasks, as well as many other things. Learning to use a computer is fascinating. lt's hard to imagine all that they can be programmed to do. Soon everything in our lives may be computerized and we will be able to cope and use them to our advantage. fad . levy 3 Steve Brown types his program into the computer. Computer Science
