Do You Compute? W Computer Classes Expand at Southside S outhside Programmers Associa- tion was added this year to the list of clubs. lt is a computer club which offers such things as a base for com- puter program for members, an ex- change for information and ideas, and instruction for newcomers with the usage of computers. The founding of this organiztion reflected the changes taking place in the Southside classrooms as more and more teachers and students become involved both in school, at work, and in the home. The officers were President Darrell Hindmarsh, Vice President Jeff Rayfield, Secretary Randy Kitchens, and Treasurer Nick James. Sponsor of the club, Mr. Eugene Morris, math instructor, I think it is good for, students to learn about pro- gramming and computers, because you will probably need it later on.

T p ractical Specialties Courses Attract Variety of Students O ne may ask what is so special about drafting, homemaking, and auto mechanics? Well, several things distinguish these classes this year, according to teachers and students. Take, for instance, auto mechanics. Girls discovered its usefulness. According to Teresa Thompson, senior, More girls should take auto mechanics because if you're out and the car just has something small wrong with it, it is also safer and cheaper to know about your car, too. Homemaking classes have undergone some changes this year. Mrs. Cheryl Byrd, instructor, said, FHA is active again, because it has been inactive for two years. Also, the Bachelor Foods class has been changed to Singles Living. According to Cindy Allen, senior, she thinks homemaking is important because, lt teaches you how to do something you wouldn't normally know how to do. ln drafting, Mr. Otis Edwards said, fTheyt the students seem to be a lot better from last year. Linda McLaughlin, sophomore, compared this year to last year by saying, lt's a little bit harder, and a lot more detailed. All of these courses, including woodworking, were again practice studies which any student could use. This discovery saw both males and females enrolled in all of these areas when only a few years ago, each would only attract one or the other.
