DRAMA AND FORENSICS YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU The sponsors of the department of forensic and dramatic arts can as¬ sure you, the debators can convince you, the poets can phrase you, that they ' re not just putting on an act. This year ' s Drama Department, headed by Mrs. Cheryl Hilt, per¬ formed with much success a variety of plays. The comedy You Can ' t Take It With You led the way. Presented later were the produc¬ tions Trifles , Our Town , Comin For to Carry , and The Zoo Story . The Forensics Depart¬ ment, under the direction of Mr. Robinson, Mrs. Stimpson, and Miss Moseley, placed second in a West¬ ern District forensics meet held at E.C. Class High School. Honors were awarded to Lewis students in categories such as public speaking, prose reading, poetry reading, and debate.

OPERATION: PEACE CORPS LEWIS STUDENTS LEND A HELPING HAND The community of Rancho Norte in southern Bolivia, South America, will be able to complete the addi¬ tion to its two-room school thanks to the efforts of the students at A.L. A donation of over $500 was raised by the students through various projects such as the magazine sale and a Wear What You Like day. The donation was forwarded to the rural community of 410 through the Peace Corps School Partnership program which brings together schools in the U.S. and schools in foreign communities engaged in self-help improvement projects. The people of Rancho Norte con¬ structed their present day school over the past 15 years without any outside assistance. However, be¬ cause of limited space only 95 of 117 enrolled elementary students have been encouraged to attend regularly and then only in half-day shifts. Joe and Gunnel Schmidt, Peace Corps volunteers assigned to the project, explained that 32 students will use the new addition and that the school will now be able to operate on a full-day schedule.
