Lafayette Center The Lafayette Center grew out of a need in the school and community for leisure time activities. It was felt that these needs were not only for pupils, but also for adults. Although the program is set up primarily for teen- agers, there are several events appropriate for adults. One such activity is the Community Sing. The overall program at present includes fifty six entrance clubs. Two canteen nights and the above mentioned Community Sing are included. Of primary inportance is the Lafayette Center youth council composed of the center clubs' representatives who plan and help carry out center activi- ties and to improve the program in general. The staff of the center consists of two full time per- sons and some twenty-two teachers who sponsor the various clubs.

tu.-young' ' ii: y lil ' The B9 drama class took a very interesting camping trip to the Clear Creek Camp in Angeles National Forest. The purpose of this trip was for the class to make up a movie, play or radio broadcast to present to the student body at a later date. Two teachers, two reporters from the Sentinel and one reporter from the Blue and Gold accompanied the class and their teacher. The supervisors in charge were Mr. Stern, Miss Womack and Mr. Lewis. Aside from gathering material for work the students had a very enjoyable time playing games, going on hikes, swimming, learning archery and having community sings. The food which was repared by Mrs. Rogers fan employee of the Board of Educa- tion? was most delicious. Mr. Bob Unruhe Calso employed by the Board of Educationj gave the students some interesting View points on different plants of the forest and Mr. Mc Gabe from the fire station talked to them about forest fires and wild life. Three en- joyable films Cabout the forest? were also shown during the students' stay. Dr. and Mrs. Herriott visited the camp one evening and had a very lovely time. This trip was the first of its kind ever tried in the history of Lafayette because it was held during school days. The whole project was a huge success. Jeanne Rayford Blue and Gold gist I6-ee: ' 'm
