To Enjo Friends And Fellowship What to do on Saturday nightv has always been a problem to Jeff students. The Spot',, a new youth center under the supervision of the Y.W.C.A., was the solution to our problem this year. As extra features during the year the Spot,, held mixers after three home basketball games, a Christmas party, Dec. 22, and was open during the Sectional Tourneys between sessions. As a gesture in recognition of Mr. Lynn Miller's fine work at jeff, the 1'Spotv presented the school before the last home basketball game an oil painting of him. This portrait is now hang- ing at Jeff as a lasting memorial. A governing board consisting of IeH girls and boys supervise the Spots, functions. To honor and preserve the memory of Mr. Lynn Miller, the 'KSpot club presented an oil portrait of him to the school. Please show me your member- ship card. Ping-pong is a favorite pastime at the Spot, Page 27

To Live Together Pleasantl It's your move. Do you like to dance and listen to good music, or would you rather play table tennis or checkers? Whatever your taste, you can have fun at the Columbian Park Youth Cen- ter. There is a good band on the stage at the pavilion each Wednesday night. The Lafayette Federation of Musicians provides the music. The Jeff Dance Band, the Salty Dogs, and several professional bands have made an appearance at the Youth Center. Dancing and just talking center on the top floor. In the basement are ping-pong tables, checker boards, shuffleboard, cards, and bin- go. Checker tournaments are sometimes held in the basement. Many students of Iefferson and surrounding schools came to Youth Center regularly and enjoyed its facilities. Mr. Charles Hopkins Was the manager of the Youth Center. Each Wednesday night he supervised giving door prizes to certain lucky ones. Rosie and Mr. Hopkins really go to town. Page 26 This was the sixth year of the Youth Cen- ter, The anniversary was celebrated in Iann- ary. Special parties also provided extra en- tertainment at Christmas, before school, and after the prom. I Clarinet music is terrific for dancing.

Representatives of each act came back for the finale of the finale. To Familiarize Us 1'Music Moodsi' was the appropriate theme of the annual Red and Black Revue held in the Iefl gym, November 4, 1954. Bob Schaaf, sophomore, was Master of Ceremonies of the one night show which had a cast of almost three hundred. Around three thousand people witnessed the showing of Iefl's biggest annual revue of the year. We who participated in the Red and Blackv agree with that ever popular song, 'Thereis No Business Like Show Businessf' because we ex- perienced it. Who knows? Maybe some of us may be a part of that everlasting business some- day just because we had that chance to display our hidden talents in high school. If this is not the case, we know even then that having such a revue gives us an even more important gain, that of working and co-operating with others. Mr. George Price, shop teacher, was general chairman of this yearis revue which consisted of Hve acts and ten specialties. Act I was called Gypsy Holiday, and was under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Andrews, commercial teacher. The setting had a group of dancing gypsies around a fire. Dark Eyesv, and Romanian Bhapsodyv carried out the theme of a gypsy,s holiday. A ghost town was the setting of Act II, directed Page 28 He's not a lone cowhandu any more.
