The Tiger's Tale was our student newspaper at Alexandria-Monroe High School in Alexandria, Indiana. I came across this story in a copy of the newspaper that I had saved from my school days. Am planning to donate the copies of the newspaper along with other photographs to the local historical society.
I can remember the computer class at Ball State University, and believe there is a photograph of the whole group somewhere. At the time, I was promised that completing the course would earn me some college credit. However, the course never appeared on my college transcripts.
