Fun film made by film students about the Taft Center, a community centre that runs programs for adults on all sorts of subjects. This is based around a newspaper man getting the scoop about the center, upon the orders from his editor (who is my favorite part of the film). Anyways, a huge rundown of lots of courses are presented, from typing to tap dance. It's all here! Is the Taft School still there though?
