TV projects prove beneficial In order to learn techniques and gain knowledge of tele- vision technology, the TV lab class undertook several special projects during the year. Class members put on skits and pantomimes to help other members of the class learn about camera angles and special effects used in actual television productions. Athletic events and teacher demonstra- tions were recorded for use by the coaches and teachers and to help the cameramen further develop their skill. The class called on students and their parents to aid them in a drive to raise money for new equipment, but they had limited success, said Mr. Lyle Fodnes, instructor of the class. 5— Focusing on action under the basket, Marlene Zajic aids the basketball team by recording their practice session. 6— Greg Burri, Russ Frahm and Jim Yardley prepare to tackle a taping assignment. 7—Max Gonzales tries his hand at television advertising. 8— Equipment maintenance is done by Dennis Sherlock and John Prochazka. 9—Pantomiming a Supremes record, Marlene Zajic, Debbie Wood, and Joni Roes show their skills.
