No one I mention this to seems to remember it, but sometime after 1982 in high school we had an assembly to watch a traveling presentation. There were I believe 3 screens and the video would go from screen to screen then show a scene on all screens. I don’t recall much about it other than they had a scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It was the scene after the first attack where Kirk asks for more time. Khan replies, “time is a luxury you don’t have”… I don’t recall anything else about it and really don’t recall the point of it. Just curious if anyone else remembers this or this type of presentations that may have visited your school. ---

I used to love those multi-screen presentations! They would troup us all into the auditorium and we’d spend a good chunk of the day watching them. I wonder now if those events were built into the school calendar or if they were makeup snow days? I was in high school from 1983-87 in Western PA, for reference. ---

I don’t remember them from my high school years (70-73) but I do remember them from my early years teaching at a high school (87-24). They always were full of snippets from “current” movies and TV shows, along with Guest Stars for a 3 second cameo. Last time they were around was maybe 93-ish. ---

That happened long after my time. Did you have filmstrips when you were in school? _\< beep \>_ ---

I remember seeing something like that once in HS, ca. 1984. It was only on one screen, and I also don’t recall much about it except it included a lengthy clip from Billy Joel’s “Pressure.” I was annoyed that half of my classmates were singing along to it yet I’d never heard this Billy Joel song before, despite listening to top-40 radio all the time. It made me think I should start actually buying albums. ---

I was in high school 82-86 in Fort Worth, TX. I only remember the 1 presentation, but there could have been more. ---

I do remember filmstrips, but I don’t recall the old hygiene films where the boys and girls were split up. ---

Anyone else remember the traveling 3-D film presentation from the early 90s? I will never rid my mind of the closing rap number: > Hey! 3-D! > Yay! 3-D! > Everybody see in 3…D!
