Computer technology has swept
over America these last few years.
Ralston High School has close to
30 computers, the Apple 11+ and the
Apple lie. The computer room, locat­
ed in the botanical garden pod, is
where you will find these various
computers.
A few of Ralston's students, Bob
Hyde, Patrick Shanahan, Greg Cozad
and Dan Jaeger, just to mention a
few, have excelled in their computer
knowledge.
Hyde, a senior, has a small but
nice supply of computer disks. These
disks are where he stores games,
utilities for the computer and other
programs. Hyde has no real goals
working with computers, he said, "I just
like to have a good time."
Shanahan, ' a senior also, has
been working with computers for a
number of years. One of his goals is to
create an unbiased computer pro­
gram in judging court cases.
Senior, Jaeger, started working on
computers when he was at the
Ralston Middle School and has contin­
ued with his knowledge all the way
into his senior year. He knows three
different computer languages, Cobal,
Pascal and Basic. Jaeger has a large
library of disks that he has been
collecting for the past five years he
has been using computers.
Cozad, a senior, makes different
types of games for the computer that
he never finishes. His excuse is that he
finds something new to work on and
puts off his original program.
Computers are a rewarding in­
vention to work with because they
are fun and you can do your own
thing with them.
