Media Center explodes It was a rather mild explosion causing the formation of two rooms, the magazine room and the audio-visual room. These two rooms were warmly wel- comed, along with the new equipment which came with it. A new aid was also added during this change.

Students experienced English in many different ways this year. A field trip of science fiction and film study students enjoyed 2001: a Space Odyssey, while the entire school was able to enjoy the live performances of the National Theatre Com- pany. Journalism students tour- ed the Blade building and the Toledo University journalism department. Members of the film study classes put together their own short films and mass media students gave multi-media presentations. And all these new experiences didn't detract from the regular pro- cess of teaching students how to communicate clearly and correctly in both speech and writing. While every area of English study was evaluated and new courses created to answer to the needs of today's students perhaps the most expanded program is the Reading depart- ment. New equipment and a new teacher, Mrs. Crouse, en- abled the remedial reading class to reach out to more students and gave both Mrs. Gloer and Mrs. Crouse plan to expand into a developmental pro- gram that would enable any students who wished to improve in any reading skill to spend any time from a few weeks to a semester in the reading laboratory gaining the skill de- sired.
