Present were: Mrs. Esther Vincent, Mrs Enola Chism, Mrs. Sarah Ortega, Mrs. Mabel Gray, Mr. Llewellyn Mezique, and Miss Bernice Durrell. The last two are counselors at Lafayette. The first afternoon meeting of the semester took place at the school on Tuesday, October 12.

Plans are progressing for en evening meeting to be held Nov. 4, to welcome the parents of B7 students who entered Lafayette in Sept- ember. A better understanding of the school program on the part of the parents is expected to smoothe the path of the students in their new school experience.
