Iennifer also won this year's Lex- ington Iunior Miss pageant and placed third in the state competition. She had this to say about her experience. The Iunior Miss Contest was one of the best things to happen to me. It's an op- portunity of a lifetime and any senior girl who enters will never regret it. SALLY CHESSER fUpper Leftj has made involvement the key word during her three years at Lafayette. During this time, she has been actively involved in such different areas as Charmettes, Pep Club, Beta Club, Latin Club, and Mixed Chorus. During her sophomore and Iunior year, Sally won the department award in Latin. This year Sally as added another project to her already busy schedule. For part of the school day, she goes to Picadome Elementary School where she is on the Picadaome Project Com- munity and does volunteer work with a fifth grade class every day. When the doors of Lafayette opened in 1939, MISS SALLY ROBINSON fMiddle Leftj was here to greet all the new students. Today, 35 years later, Miss Robinson is still teaching Latin. This has given her the distinction of having more years of service than any other teacher. Service is a word that Miss Robinson is very familiar with. During her years here, she has taught Latin, French and English. She has also taken a very active part in ex- tracurricular activities, sponsoring the Latin Club, French Club, Future Teachers, Y Teens, Pep Cub, Sopho- more Class, Iunior Class and Senior Class. She even helped train the cheerleaders one year. She loves teaching Latin as any of her students know. She says about teaching, If I had my life to live over again, I'd still be a Latin teacher. The last and most important of the pacesetters is YOU lBottom Leftl, the varied individuals comprising the student body. Each have your own contributions which have proven in- valuable to the school and community. 15
