Not only some pride in being recognized as one of the kids that knew how to do it, but nice perks like not having to sit in study hall when there was a need for an "audio-visual aide." Our high school in 1958-1962 had only one TV set, a large screen (24 inch?) black and white. The teacher who was in charge of the equipment always noted that it had been sitting in high humidity all summer and had to be dried out, so of course that was done by turning it on and tuning in to the baseball games. One thing the AV aides learned that was appreciated was to get the latest score when visiting the AV equipment room, and report it to the teacher where they took the film projector.
