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.
