' 8 Students tune-in to radio, tapes, tv Media class, offered two periods a day by teacher Roy Kociemba, exposed students to all types of communication mediums. Teen-agers who are constantly tuned-in to favorite radio stations, listening to the latest hottest tapes, or watching the excitement of television's Dallas and other favorites learned more about these mediums and their effects by studying magazines, television, newspapers and taping their own radio programs. Since the class had no textbook, students were forced to take many notes and use the media center as a form of text. Newspapers, television, olde time radio shows and magazines were the student's main sources of information. According to librarian Marilyn lVlcClusky, 552,500 was spent on new books last year, not including reference books. An attempt was also made to up-grade the equipment in the media center. Approximately 310,000 was spent on new equipment for the school district. K'Mechanically inclinedv teacher Steve King kept busy in the media center in the mornings filling his new position as media specialist.
