South High's Computer C lub is designed to promote an interest in "programing,"
trans la ting huma n probl ems into m achin e language. According to its sponsor, Mrs.
Ja net Taylor, "We have learned to program the 1620 computer in two languages,
Gotran and Fortran. The problems we have the computer so lve range from matrix
multiplication to physics formulas. Punching the program on I. B.M. cards is done
on South's Business Department key punch machine, but the Computer Club goes to
the University of Omaha to use the ir computer. We plan to visit some of the larger
computer centers in Omaha, such as the one at Offutt Air Base. "

Amid roars of laughter from an enthusiastic audience, a cast and crew of a hun -
dred South High students presented Fred Ballard's LADIES OF THE JURY. The adept
maneuvering of the "ladies," of one lady in particular (played by Joyce Koutecky),
furnished the hilarious yet clever solution to the prob lem of "guilty or not guilty."
The play was presented November 19 a nd 20, 1965.

South's ROTC

The Junior Division of the Reserve Officer's

Training Corps is conducted in conformity with the

provisions of Section 40a, National Defense Act of

1916, as amended. While the program will give

the student a n elementary knowledge of military

arts and sciences, it is a voluntary program and

does not in any way obliga te the student to pursue

a military career.

According to Cadet Major Thomas Cullinane,

"ROTC helps keep America strong."
