The Youth Art Council of America was designed for all students interest ed in art. Magnet’s 75 members held meetings monthly and attended dis trict meetings every few weeks. The more involved YACA members were able to work at the state convention this year with other YACA members from all over Louisiana. This year’s state convention was held at Louisiana Tech in Ruston. The futuristic theme was “Art and the 2000 Centuries.” At this conven¬ tion each school demonstrated and displayed art that they had created. A dance was held on the last day of the convention. Mr. Allen, the sponsor of YACA, was willing to help draw most of the backdrops to some of the school dances that were held this year. YACA deco rated the cafeteria for the annual holiday lunches at Thanksg- ving and Christmas. Signs were post ed on the walls and the tables were decorated with candles and place- mats. Many artistic talents were dis¬ played at Caddo Magnet this year as each and every one of the YACA members worked hard and remained dedicated in order to keep their school a beautiful place.
