ADMINISTRATION .....4..4....,,,.........,...........,....4...,....,,...........................,........... The administration, constituted by the Board of Directors and the Production Staff, decided what programs we would channel through the facilities of the SHS-TV Network this year. Plans were approved and construction began on expansion of our present studios and new facili- ties for the stars of tomorrow. This expansion was approved by the voters last year and was put into action this fall with work beginning on the Leona Avenue Elementary Building. We at SHS-TV are proud of the fine work done by the administration and the co-operation shown by the community. STUDENTS .......,..,..r..,,..........,................,.,...,.,..,....,.......................,.....,....,..,,... The students found themselves opening the 1955-1956 school year as members of the SHS-TV system of stations, with coverage throughout the Ohio Valley and possibly extending influence into the entire nation. The station provided an expanded coverage of events this year, with members of the studio winning honors in athletic events, showing their usual high standard of academic achievement, display- ing musical ability unexcelled by any station in the valley with similar broadcasting facilities, and bringing new dramatic programs to the curriculum. ACTIVITIES ..,.......,....,.,.......,..,.... .........,.........,,............,...,..,..,..., .........r.,....... Activities were found around the corner of every corridor this year as the studio staff sought extra-curricular diversion from their work. Many of them found interest in music, instrumental or vocal. Others with little musical inclination found it worthwhile to participate in ser- vice clubs connected with their interests. There are clubs for everyone in the SHS-TV network, those with world-wide affiliation, for people who prefer world service, for others, activities centered about our own country, and some which are restricted to the school and community. SPORTS .......,... .,..................,....,,......,...,,.,.,.....,..............,.,..,.......,,...,.......,...... The cameramen of SHS-TV were kept busy this season by the spirited playing of Shadyside's athletic organizations at home and away. Highlights of the season were personal appearances of the coaches and seniors ata broadcast from our own studio and interviews on remote pick-ups at other locations. Although many players had never made video appearances, they soon overcame their camera- shyness and played with fine spirit and teamwork, providing our view- ers with many hours of enjoyment. ADVERTISING .,....,..............,......... ,..... ..,.,.. ,..., .................,......,............. , . ,,.,..... All good programs must be sponsored, so all the commercials are collected in the final screen credits for recognition of the businesses that make our programs possible. Some represent big business, many more recognize the individual businessmen that flourish in the spirit of free enterprise. These businesses have generously exercised their right to advertise as they wish by supporting our network and boosting our programming to furnish to our viewers the most extensive coverage in our history. l 5
