All of the future broadcasters gather at WALD for their usual Thursday night tap- Billy Howell gives his advice about the pro- ing. posed broadcast program. This year the Broadcast Club consisted of thirty-eight members which were divided into two groups, Alpha and Beta. With the two groups alternating each week, they met every Thursday night at WALD to record and produce their shows. The program was made up of seven articles which included student spotlight, teacher feature, editorial, school and community current events, sports, comedy, and the song of the week. The officers of the club were President, Cathy Sams; Vice Presi- dent, Kim Moody; and Secretary- Treasurer, Allison Dyches. The managers for each group included Alpha Production Manager, Joey Craven, and Assistant, Kevin Hin- ton; and Beta Production Manager, Rob Young, and Assistant, David Ritter. The new sponsor of the club, Mr. David MacArthur, assist- ed the groups with their recording sessions. ? saws - utiu. -as r w m m s. - . «yw wwrar a ® wm.v» '''■tv ■trm Broadcast Club 29

Meetings were held in the school gymnasium, and all stu- dents and parents were invited to attend. In these meetings, the offi- cers of the P.T.O. discussed differ- ent issues to inform the people of the business and happenings in the school. They also had an Open House at the beginning of the year to present the new faculty and headmaster to the parents. Communication Board meetings were held in the school library on Tuesday nights in which officers planned the upcoming programs. One such program was the Hallow- een Carnival on October 31. It turned out to be a huge success, and the money received from the tickets was used for future projects which included the Christmas program, Science Fair, and Academic Bowl. The officers were Mimi Werntz, President; Gail Howell, Vice Presi- dent; Linda Butler, Secretary; and Sydney Haynes, Treasurer. Both the P.T.O. and Communication Board were of great service during the school year. The younger students enjoy dressing up in various costumes for Halloween. Boy George and Superman were two of the most popular. The officers meet to plan last minute details for the next program. The children gather at the ticket booth to buy more tickets for the Carnival activities. TICKET? 30 P.T.O.
