Radio and TV classes have had an exciting year. Radio equipment was donated by two radio stations. Two used gates turntables were donated by WNEM, and WTAC donated a Collins P150 cartridge machine. Certain classes taped one hour DJ shows and did radio shows with Gene Riley. They also visited local radio and TV stations. One semester was the required time, however, two semesters could be taken. The first semester dealt with the full operation of equipment. The students did splicing, which merely consists of cutting out certain parts of the recording. They agreed to do recordings for other classes, such as skits or plays at no charge to the class. Radio and TV’s basic idea was to learn the operation and philosophy of radio and TV. It was divided into 75% performance and 25% theory for one semester. With a ratio of eight to one, boys holding the majority, future plans are to have more girls in the class. They also plan to have their own radio station some day.
