LA YNE DOUBLE-TAKE MASON This is Layne Mason, your dedicated and relentless weather forecaster. Does this sound familiar? It does to those students who heard Layne give his weekly weather forecasts last year. He started giving Lafayette his weather predic- tions during the hard winter of '77 and continued his amaz- ingly accurate forecasts during the equally harsh winter of '78. Layne first became interested in weather forecasting when he was seven years old, was en- couraged to find out for himself .5 - about weather conditions. He has since become so efficient that an admirer of his claims that he is a true believer of the Layne Mason Theory of Weather Forecasting. Layne has been presented with a Ken- tucky Colonel Award and will travel to Canada, New York City, and Washington, D.C. competing with other outstand- ing students in weather fore- casting. Layne hopes to con- tinue his forecasting and possi- bly get a job with a radio or television station. Layne com- mented, I hope my future ca- reer as a weather forecaster will help mankind and the society in which he lives. KATHY DUNN Kathy Dunn has put her hobby to work. She has helped to lead a Girl Scout troop since she was in the 7th grade, and took a course called CIT to be a certified counselor at a girl scout camp. Recently Kathy helped Kim len- kins in front of Lafaytette after a tragic motorcycle accident. She says, I didn't save her life but she would have been a lot worse ifI hadn't stopped the bleed- ing.

J' X SAM EDEN As I pass through these walls and ponder what a great experi- ence Lafayette has been for me, I only hope I've given something in partial repayment for the new found dignity and self respect Lafayette has given me. Does anymore have to be said? Sam Eden is one of Lafayette's most outstanding students. He was one of the first handicapped people placed into the public schools. Sam has attended Lafayette for one year and has found that his greatest interest evolves around government. He intends to major in general speak- ing politics as an attorney. Sam commented that if he could change anything in education he would expand graduation requirements, for the future leaders of our government. He would also have more empha- sis put on the government classes. Sam has competed in many speech contests and won the regionals. He said that he is very proud to go to Lafayette and deeply appreciates the at- titudes of so many caring and concerned students. Sam also commented, I only hope that thorugh my experiences, the road to higher education for other handicapped students will be paved.
