The director yells action, and the KGHS newscasters are on. This year's newscasters included: Brent I-leffron, Mike Skaggs, Debbie Staats, Jennifer Pate, and Linda Fleeman. The studio production classes were held sixth and seventh hours this year. ln these two hours they produced ap- proximately four programs per week. One of the main goals for the studio production classes was to replace the existing studio cameras to enable a high- er quality of programs. All students, except the newscasters, must have first year electronics before they are allowed into the studio produc- tion class. In this class the students learned the operation and preventative maintenance of all studio equipment, in- cluding the mobile van, producing the news, and so on. One of the students, Earl Osborne, had this to say, In T.V. Studio you learn a lot about how a major news station goes about aquiring and assem- bling the news. The school has had a cable station for eight years. At the present time 2,200 people receive our station. P Greg Homol adjusts the equipment.

One problem that they encountered was that of beginning students being included on the staffs, along with the more experienced, returning members. Teaching all the new students while try- ing to meet deadlines with the experienced staffers slowed production down dramatical- ly, according to adviser Mrs. Barbara War- ren. When we had a beginning journalism class, I was able to teach the basics to the new students, Mrs. Warren noted. Then, when they joined the staffs, they were fully skilled and ready to complete all the neces- sary workf' Both Annual and Growl students learned the basics of production, including layout and design, copy writing, copy reading, headline writing, interview techniques and photograph selection and cropping to fit the appropriate space. In addition, they discovered the ethics of journalism as they strove to produce the best possible publications. The staffers worked hard, Mrs. Warren said, under some very difficult conditions.
