Interest In A.V. T.V. Computer The audio-visual class consisted of students from other schools (through the Secondary Center program) in addition to M-U students. Totally studentproduced news shows were broadcast throughout the school over the cable T.V. system. Thanks to A.V. T.V., M-U students witnessed the Homecoming Pie-Eating contest on classroom televisions. The audiovisual program provided an opportunity for students to gain experience in all aspects of television production, from writing scripts to every technical detail. Students interested in using the computer terminals (located in the Math Resource Center) had a variety of activities to choose from. For one thing, math teacher Lester Twedell instructed a course that involved computer programming. Some students used computers to help them with career planning. Students also pursued personal interests such as playing computer games and creating new ones of their own. Photo number one: Ian Horswill, computer. Photo number two: John Birnell, AV T.V.

M-U Has Most Nine students from our school attended the Children’s Theatre School (CTS) this year under the urban arts program. No other school in Minneapolis sent that many students to CTS. Each day, students at CTS attended two classes taught by trained professionals. All students were encouraged to audition for the Mainstage productions at the theatre. Students At CTS Inexperienced students could take cfasses at the Minnesota Dance Theatre (MDT) without needing to audition, while more experienced dancers could audition for admission to the Performing Arts program, which worked on dance productions such as “The Nutcracker Suite.” John Clark Donahue was the Artistic Director of CTS. while Loyce Houlton led the Performing Arts program.

Gifted And Black Black History is more than a story, more than the capture of our black ancestors off the African coast, more than the selling of our bodies like slabs of meat and the beatings and separation of our families. Black History is more than the right to stand next to the white man and the junkies and the whores and their dream to one day be ahead of him. It’s more than being poor and hungry, either hung over or strung out. having to sleep with all seven of your sisters or hiding in the corner when the landlord comes to collect the rent from Ma. Black History is us-how we got to be so beautiful, our ways of having rhythm and bringing forth some of the most inspirational music in the world, the talent of some of our best athletes, and the wisdom of some of our most educated scholars. Black History is us-the coffee-brown colors, glistening with sweat and flavors in the summertime with astonishing joy, the togetherness upon the porch stoop-happy children dancing and hollering-getting high. Black History is us-the harmony of boys on the corner messing around, the court lawyer, and the NBA basketball player. We are black and we are here.
