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.

Drama Helps Students to Display Talent Practicing for the play Our Town, ” one of the many plays performed in Central's auditorium, are sophomore Roxanne MacDonald and sophomore Ann St. Laurent. This play had the best turn-out of the year. Drama classes, instructed by Mrs. Ruth Anketel, enabled students to express themselves by acting in plays, applying make-up and in designing costumes. Two semesters of drama filled the requirement of speech. While the two plays of this year, “Our Town” and “Around the World in Eighty Days,” were being produced, many drama students helped. Some students were book holders, aids in learning lines; others were make-up people, costume designers and others changed props between scenes. Daily routine in the drama classes included reading of plays, learning to annunciate words clearly, and learning how to apply one’s feelings into a play. Each drama class studied various plays. After taking drama, or even while taking it, students chose to tryout for a part in one of the plays. Drama often lead to being a Thespian. Assisting Mrs. Ruth Anketell, play director, with cue cards are Jennifer Walmsley and Sue Morse. ACADEMICS
