David Beedy, Kevin Corcoran, David Gafrick, Mark Krieschen, Scott Peckenpaugh, and Kent Wainscott, most of whom had worked at WMTH all four years of high school, have put their previous experience to good use.

Dave Gafrick does news and sports casts for WSIU. He also writes scripts for a show similar to the CBS "Mystery Theater." He has interviewed such personalities as Neil Sadaka, and he has covered such events as the Hambletonian Dirt Car Championships and the primaries.

Mark Krieschen does two morning newscasts a week. These newscasts are a half‑hour long and divided into three parts: national and international, state and local, and sports. Mark works with the state and local news.

Kevin Corcoran is presently working at Marquette University's television station as a supervisor and engineer. He also produces a TV show that is a take‑off of WTTW's "Soundstage." The title of the show is "Showcase."

Kent Wainscott attends Northern Illinois University and reports for WKDI‑FM. He has just been appointed assistant news director for WKDI. He will be responsible for covering the DeKalb County and city governments during second semester.
