2 May 21, 1 970 THE GRANTONIAN 'Birdie ' participants win credit; 'too bad its over w / I i Signs such as this appeared I OU re WdCOnie. throughout the school this week; the signs were from the Senior Class to various organizations within the school. Above the seniors thank Memoirs and Gran- tonian staffs. “Too bad it’s over,” comment ed Ed Fitz, who played the char acter of Randolph in “Bye Bye Birdie” that appeared the 15th and 16th of May. Both nights the auditorium was nearly full. THE LIGHTING effects run by John Mann and Gary Nusom of the stage crew added to the visual effects of the show. John commented that “Mrs. Foster was great to work with and I enjoyed doing the whole thing.” The chorus, directed by Mrs. Janet Howland, had been re hearsing since the end of March. Sherri Clausterman, who played Mae Peterson said, “Everyone in the cast was so encouraging to everyone else,” that it was hard Computer program 'up in air’ “It is still up in the air,” stat ed Mr. Robert Fair about the computer program for teachers which is being planned for next year. The course will be a sim ple one in computer program ming open to all teachers in school. “We need 15 teachers and only 12 have signed up,” accord ing to Mr. Fair. The course, if approved by School District No. 1, will be held once a week for several hours after school. The teachers taking it will receive inservice credit. They will get basically the same training as the stu dents who are taking the computer course now. The program is not only for math teachers; any teacher can take it. The course is planned to give teachers an understand ing of computers, so they will know; how to use them and the math involved. It might be difficult for a So cial Studies teacher to solve a problem in’his field, but a problem in statistics might come up and this could be solved. Math and Science teachers will be solving problems they have. “Everyone should have an un derstanding of how computers work,” stated Mr. Fair. “We are not trying to make programmers out of the teachers, we are just trying to give them a basic un derstanding of the computers and how they work,” he ended. According to Mr. Fair, the computer becomes a block to most teachers who go to make out the report cards. Hopefully when they take the course, this and other things that have to do with computers will be made easier. for the play to be boring. CREDIT SHOULD be given everyone who participated in the show: Diane Bigbee, who direct ed all of the dancing in the show, Mrs. Howland and the chorus, Mr. Robert Hacking and the Band, Mr. Lloyd Carothers and the stage and sound crews, Mr. Mahlon Read and the art de partment, and most of all Mrs. Foster, the director, Mr. George Galati and the entire Dad’s Club.
