JumpStart by Robb Armstrong for September 13, 2013

Our school had a closed-circuit television system, complete with a news desk and studio, provided by a local TV station… we were able to produce our own programs, and each morning, gave school-wide announcements, as well as creative commercials and were also allowed to produce funny skits, music videos and the like, to watch during the broadcast for that day… and the studio was also used as an actual classroom and also it was incorporated as actual curriculum (the class was open to those who were in certain grade sections) that we were graded on, where we learned how to work cameras, and any other position in the broadcast and journalism field…

That sounds cool! Did you get any autograph requests?

Wow! I wish I’d had that sort of opportunity in school. Always wanted to go into broadcasting, and that would have been a wonderful way to learn if I liked it.

Jojo can’t do radio—he doesn’t have the face for it

Thank you girls.

I’m surprised no one before me mentioned that those girls don’t look happy.

Well, sad to say, it’s been almost 22 years since… knowing the trend of cutting things, it could be that about a few years ago, they stopped it, but during the eighties, when I was there, it was going strong… I’d say that it was still going in the nineties, but I lost track after that… might have to pay the school a visit soon…
