Some people call it the Gong Show, others call it the Tomorrow show, but technically the administration calls it Zero period. Zero period permits the WATV crew, under the supervision of Mr. Bill Lee, to utilize their skill in television production. Because of the delay in the completion of Richardson Hall, the studio was temporarily housed in the new Study Hall area which was also occu- pied by a large senior homeroom. With the completion of Richardson Hall, however. changes quickly occurred. The ac- quisition of color equipment, underground cables, and adequate space brought relief and excitement. The new quarters contain a large production studio, facilities to record dramatic productions and lectures in the new auditorium, storage space, and an area for a planned FM radio station. Tim Clontz, Bill Largin, Mark Stone, Randy Cassimus, Greg Miller, Jim Smith, Chris Shelt, Steve Carreras, Don Allen, Steve Albe- qurque, James Beckemyer. Lil Davis, and Kathleen Collins served as crew members. The Camera Club, which periodically aid- ed publications, included: Elliot Strother, Bill Largin, Brian O'Kelly, John Webster, and Joey Michaels. Middle School members were Michelle Stark, Tim Nichols, David Kinsey, Albert Harris, Joey Norton, Allen Brown, Da- vid Moore, Tommy Priddy, Mark Kiker, and Richard Soloff. Mr. Brady was advisor.
