Communication Involves Everyone at SG Students at South Garland High School, our lives reflect the people, times, and events of this year 1981- 1982. Because the focus seems to be very precisely directed to all sorts of Communications, it's not any wonder that South Garland too, would par- ticipate in this exchange of ideas. Many students, for example, are interested in student government, others participate in the spirit groups at South Garland. Still others, who wish to become farmers, electricians, secretaries, and cosmetologists take vocational educa- tion classes, and work outside in the community. South Garland also offers a range of courses for those students who are musically inclined. The band and choir have won many awards and participate in band and choral contests regularly. South Garland's select choral per- formers, the Snowboaters, perform regularly at church and community events. Jeff Johnson scores two more for the Colonels. Students discuss the assembly as they head back to class. Colonel fans show school pride at a football game. Practice makes perfect for SG's band students. New at South Garland is KRNL, the in-school radio station begun by the Broadcast Journalism class. Students in this course worked as disc jockeys for the radio station. ln addition to radio broadcasts, broadcast journalists also contributed to Inside South, a magazine format television program produced in cooperation with Storer Cable. The purpose of the class was to give students an opportunity to work in a simulation of the real thing - a radio station or a television set. Students talk with each other between classes.

Senior Dave Cebell cues up the next song for the S060 afternoon program. Hitting the air waves with a terrific response this year was South Garland's new radio station, KRNL. Starting out as just a class project on tape for the braodcast journalism students, the radio station grew to include speakers in both the main hall and in the cafeteria. Having the radio broad- cast is something l've wanted for a long time now, explained broadcasting teacher Ms. Donna Watkins. Students who enrolled in broadcasting spent the first part of the six weeks in the preliminaries, such as learning some of the history of radio and changes that have taken place in recent years. Then began the plans for the live broadcast each da . Since the early morning show was considered the prime time for listening, each student had his or her turn at being the morning DJ. With 28 people in the class, we've had quite a variety of music and talk, said Ms. Watkins. What we did was try to play a good mixture of selections - hoping that all those who listen will find something they like to hear in every show. lt's pretty scary thinking about all those peo- ple out there listening to you, said Julie Rich. With so many things to remember, it's easy to mess up and read a news item wrong, or we might even cue up the wrong song. That's pretty embarrassing. Having gone out into the main hall during se- cond period, the students received good practice by broadcasting while the rest of the class listen- ed and criticized. That lets everyone have a chance to show what he can do to improve, com- Freshman broadcast journalism student, Lisa Watts, interviews Ms. Marilyn Marshall for Inside South.

With a special thanks to Marilyn Marshall and Charlie White we hope to see the station continue to be an active part of South Garland. During second semester broadcasting, Dave Cebell was appointed station manager for KRNL. His duties included helping to coordinate the basic daily operation of KRNL. , j - , i' 1 S s ,V 'K x' I
