About Dearborn High's Video Program
In
the beginning, there was Russ. And the educational
system was without form and void; and darkness was
upon the face of the classroom. And the voice of
Russ moved upon the empty desks and said, "Uhh...
uhh... Let there be television sets." Russ said,
"This will be the most powerful invention of all
time." Russ watched the television. He saw that it
was good: but he soon became tired of Green Acres
reruns. This was the first day.
And Russ said," Let there be video cameras and
tapes:" and they were so. Russ called them Sony
brand, and he saw that it was good. This was the
second day.
And Russ said, "Let there be a Sony editing deck
which will bring forth works of the best kind." He
saw that it was good. And Russ set this all in the
classroom. This was the third day.
And behold, Russ needeth companionship: so he said,"
Let there be students with like minds. And they
shall be called Gibblets, who will drape themselves
in darkness and the males shall be lacking in hair
of the crown." And Russ said unto them," Be creative
and entertaining. Of this studio thou mayest freely
reign. But if thou turneth in thy video late, thou
shalt surely get an E! And thou shalt call me sir."
This was the fourth day.
On the fifth day Russ said," Let there be a black
lounge chair, peanut M & M's, Diet Coke, and the
clicker thing." And Russ saw everything that he made
and behold, it was very good. Thus, WDHS was
completeth.
And on the sixth day, one day early, Russ ended his
work and rested on the sixth day from all the work
which he had made. Russ then seateth himself in his
black chair and consumeth of the peanut M & M's and
also of the Diet Coke and sangeth softly his
favourite song, The shades of night were falling
fast but I got a good look anyway.
