Probably the most frequent communicators arc re- porters. Robin Haines, journalism, interviews Dave Reidy, athlete, for a personality sketch. Communicating to learn Communicating refers to more than just conversation. Students in class must learn to communicate in many other ways. For example, ideas are transferred through books, particularly in Social Stud- ies, Literature, Psychology, and Mass Communications. They are also exposed to many ideas and thoughts in using the li- brary. They can look in newspapers, pam- phlets, and magazines to establish commu- nications with the past. The Publications Department commu- nicates with every student who reads the BruINformer or Reflections. The depart- ment reports and publishes the news bi- weekly. Other than the usual activities, journalism students report and interview outside celebrities as well as school per- sonnel. The yearbook staff also communi- cates a complete record of the year ' s ac- tivities and happenings by publishing the Reflections. It is a year-long process and becomes a reference book to students and staff. Music is another way in which people communicate. It is often called the uni- versal language to express feelings. No vocabulary is necessary. Students sing out their emotions and, in some cases, add spe- cial meanings. Announcements read over both the P.A. system and TV is the way the student body learned what was going on in the school. Information on the TV Blackford To- day Show, included the weather, sports, and special interviews. Open House also gave teachers a way of communicating with parents. They dis- cussed how their children were doing in class, and suggested methods of improve- ment. BruINformer ' s sports page is Joe Leeth ' s medium for communicating sports information to the student body while working in Publications. Sending his homing pigeon, as a way of communicat- ing on a science class mission is David Martin. Dave raised birds as profitable hobby. Developing By Comnmnicaring 45
