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.
