i, wt This year witnessed the initiation of an extracurricular activity at D.T.C. which would tend to disprove the notion that radio is a faded remnant of another era. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Adam Aitcheson the Radio Workshop experienced a successful trial run for the length of the school year. The setting for this production was the speech laboratory, the vehicle was RADIO in all of its many facets fwith the exception of advertisingj. Every phase of behind the mike radio work was- touched upon including script-writing, programming, engineering and sound effects, and of course acting and directing. The speech lab officially assumed the guise of WDTC early in the Fall when two members of the Workshop, Emil Bleston and Edward Watson, installed an inter-communica- tion system between the engineers control room and the director's studio. , f ,Z ' ff' i ?5i WORK sam he? Fla., 7 51 , 'V . 'xt f , A f ff ,W ,xx y Q During the second semester weekly programs provided people on campus with an opportunity to visit the speech lab for a brief period of relaxation while fulfilling the role of audience. Disc jockey shows, quiz programs, and such plays as DeMaupassant's The Diamond Necklace were among the featured presentations. As an outgrowth of her activities in Radio Workshop, Diane Rubenstein wrote two series of scripts for the purpose of broadcasting them to the elementary school children in the Danbury area. The trial run of the Radio Workshop has shown that it is of enough sustained usefulness to withstand the vicissitudes of time. The critics foresee only success for it in future sea- sons, especially since it will undoubtedly expand its program to include actual broadcasts which will be of service to the larger community. hop F W E. .4- 3, I. an is 2 :J -H Q A
