According to an Indiana state regulation, all public schools must include a computer literacy class in their curriculum effective at the beginning of the 1985386 school year. However, S.C. ijumped the guni and installed the course one year before deadline. To include the 9-week class, an extra period was added to the existing 6 hour schedule. The first bell rang at 8:00 every morning and school adjourned at 3:10. This switch didnit agree with the majority of students as well as teachers. The general concensus was one of sheer exhaustion at the conclusion of each week. Most of the population also disliked the computer class. itThe computer class was silly because of the way it was set up.

Several S.C. organizations showed their spirit at Christmas hristmas. Standing alone, that one, single utterance carries more meaning than paragraphs of words can. Silver Creek joined in the Christ- mas spirit along with the rest of the world in 1984. The Holiday Tourney returned after its one year absence when the Tip-Off Tourney reigned, and to add a touch of Christmas spirit to the games, the drama department performed short skits in the front lobby as fans filed in. uWe put the skits on mainly to bring more publicity to the theater? commented jr. Scott Fleming who portrayed Joseph and Mr. Scrooge in 'two seperate skits. The SC. thespians held their annual Christmas party at the home of theater director, Diane Ems. One factor that made this holiday party different was that the guests were required to wear costumes! Also getting into the spirit of the season was the Sunshine Society, Band, and Choir. On the morning of December 15th, Sunshine held their annual ttBreakfast With Santa for area chil- dren. The father, of junior Jamie Tungate portrayed Santa Claus. The Band, along with the choir, gave a Christmas performance in the auditorium on December 17th. To Silver Creek students, Christ- mas is special . .. and we show it!!
