Radio Production by SHIRLEY JENKINS Bath row, left to right: Boh Klarnrn, Wilma Millrap, Bill Kerr, Lawrence Baldwin, joe Neff, Charlet Smith, Keith Trevolt, Terry Dechert, Ann Orrence, Roherta Yoitnzanx. Second row: Min Florence Hoar, instructor, Mary K. Mitchell, This is Wyandotte -- we need a longer musical bridge-pick up those cues-slow down on those fade outs-start stretching! With that another ex- asperated director collapses. Please do not be alarmed, gentle people! That gigantic conglomera- tion is not the forerunner of eternity. Those direc- tions are clearly understood by the twenty-three mem- bers of the Wyandotte Radio Workshop. The stu- dent charging about the room working like the pro- verbial beaver is usually the director of the coming program. This woeful soul is in complete charge of the casting, preparation, and presentation of the script. Radio Workshop offers any student who can qual- ify one of the most beneficial courses at Wyandotte. Its aim is to bring forth the natural talent of the student, teach him to accept responsibilities, and to give him the poise and assurance it takes to speak be- fore an audience. For those whose primary interest is not in the forensic field of radio, there is the oppor- tunity to learn the mysteries of the sound man. Those who are musically talented may be interested in filling Jeanne Waldvogel's shoes. Every script needs music of some sort to set the mood of the scene.

Sounds interesting, doesn't it? This is just a portion of an original script written by Catherine Flowers which was presented by the class at the annual KU speech festival. Under the direction of Mr. H. A. Billingsley, the class presented a demonstration of the Wyandotte High Radio Workshop before the English classes and sponsored a talent show composed of students from Argentine, Shawnee Mission, and Wyandotte. They introduced a new type of broadcast called Wyandotte Reports, and still managed to work in their usual 30 programs over KCKN. Mr. H. A. Billingsley, who took the sponsorship of Radio Production when Miss Hoar resigned to be married, commented regarding the class, This was an ideal class, if there ever was one. The students assumed all the responsibility for making each pro- gram a success, and regardless of whether they had supervision or not they carried on and got the job done. Their rewards have been better speech, learn- ing to work together, developing their ability in crea- tive writing and expression, developing initiative, and forming many lasting friendships.
