Media .uy. The Media Department at Woodward is a combination of two distinct areas: the Li- Drary Division and the Television Studio. Both facilities are impressive and have as a sasic goal to be student-oriented in their operation. The Middle and Upper School Library is ocated in McKay Hall and contains some 18,000 volumes. In 1977, the facility was ' enovated and enlarged and now includes conference rooms, reading areas, study car- rols, and seating space for two hundred for- ty students. Head Librarian Joanne Heath, assistant Sara Crockawell, and clerk Shirley Satterfield strive to assist students with needed information in an atmosphere con- dusive to learning. In addition to the McKay Library, Woodward also maintains libraries at the Lower and Busey Schools where ele- mentary students are taught the basics of reference work and encouraged to develop good reading skills. Perhaps one of the most unique aspects about Woodward is the existence of the closed circuit television station. Coordinated by Ms. Suzanne Greer. WATV has studios in the Richardson Fine Arts Center. Aside from taping of T.V. specials, the WATV crew also produces three weekly homeroom shows. Writing scripts, operating cameras, and di- recting are some of the skills devloped by student workers. Communications and tech- nical methodology are several of the courses. CURRICULUM 51
