Many jobs for printing staff The printing section of the Communications Media Department offered training on the same equipment that one would find in printing shops throughout the community. Sophomores start in Com- munications Media, which covers four basic areas: JournaUsm, Photography, T. V. Production, and Printing. Mr. Hiatt, the printing instructor, is very proud of this program. There is no other program Hke this in the state, he commented. It ' s a lot of fun to see all of the kids working so closely together. The juniors and seniors in printing made up the staff. Their main job was to print the Scroll, our school newspaper. They got experience by being foremen of different jobs, as well as by being actual workers. PRINTING STAFF.
