The Stor Behind The News. Shanti Parikh, Shira Katz, Mr. Weincek and Paul Lumbard doing the announcements. You probably didn't realize all the work that went into bringing you the morning announcements. There were three diffferent groups that worked to give you the news everyday. The purpose of all three was to get the an- nouncements across to the stu- dents in a lively effective manner. First semester, Monday through Thursday, the oral interpretation and media study class did the an- nouncements. Besides reading lit- erature and studying the fields of media, they got first hand experi- ence on the P. A. system. The class coached and practiced the an- nouncements before doing them in the morning. 5 -ilu Back row: Yvonne Zietlow Bijon Scharafat, Craig Diekhoner, Mr. Weincek, jeff Poland, Mark Bryan, Alax Walsh.
