SCHOOL NOTES Lafayette Undergoes Decorations PROFUSION of ladders, scaffolds and paint brushes have borne mute testimony to the changes the building has undergone. Now that these ladders and scaffolds have been removed, we are able to enjoy a redecorated, relighted auditorium and clean walls throughout the school. The lower gym- nasium has been completely renovated. The floor has been refinished and the walls and ceil- ings repainted. New lighting fixtures replace former equipment. New shower rooms have been installed. Our lunch hours have been made far more pleasant and cheerful by the cleaning and repainting of the cafeteria. We are appreciative of the consideration shown by the Board of Education in effecting these improvements. Departmental Changes Several replacements and changes have been noted in various school departments since last year. We welcome Mrs. Warnhoff to the mathematics department of the faculty. We hope that her stay here will be a pleasant one. We extend our congratulations to Mr. Corcoran, one of our ablest business teachers upon his recent marriage. Eight scholarships were awarded by various colleges, universities and art schools to de- serving Lafayette graduates last year. As the Oracle goes to press, a teachers' strike seems imminent'and faculty and students anxiously await developments.
