Switching to a spring delivery book, the Annual Staff experienced prob- lems getting it all together.” Late deadlines and a lack of organization caused the staff to switch back to a fall delivery. Selling fewer ads than in previous years because of the early ad dead- line, the staff attempted several other money-making projects. Patron ad sales, at first open to only seniors, were later opened to entire student body with the understanding that any student selling three or more patron ads at $5.00 apiece received a pub- lication ticket free. Another project that had proved successful the pre- vious year was Christmas sales of the yearbook. Staff members compil- ed a list of students who had not bought books, then called their par- ents and offered the yearbook as Christmas presents. The receipts were enclosed with a Christmas card, and the parents were billed in Jan- uary. Other projects included show- ing Kiddie movies” on Saturdays and selling ads to the classes. The staff pasted up all of the pages and had the type set up locally as an economy measure. 25 Annual working

Communication! Television, mag- azines, movies, and newspapers were only part of a new course of- fered by the English department. Dubbed Mass Media,” the class in- cluded studies in the use of televi- sion cameras, making movies and slide shows, writing newspaper ads, and interviewing people. Miss De- lores Weiss, the teacher of the course, recommended that students take a year of journalism before taking the course, but did not re- quire it. It was not offered to soph- mores. The Mass Media students put their knowledge to work in present- ing the Radio Show. Aired every two weeks on WVEC FM, the Radio Show included a song of the week,” editorials, and news features. Stu- dents assumed different tasks of production, some acting as disc joc- keys and others handling the electri- cal equipment. Reporters did fea- tures on school sports and inter- views of various students. The show also held games on occasion. The recording was done at the school, sometimes live over the intercom. Unable to finish all of their jobs in the class period, students stayed after school or were excused from other classes to work on the Radio Show. “It’s the most progressive class ever implemented into Warwick High School.” — Scott Ward Take one.
