cviifqigv 1: an mv Center Sponsors Lafayette Center has had a large increase in at- tendance this semester. A great deal of it has been due to the keen interest of the older club members making the newcomers aware of what is carried on in the after-school activities. Lafayette Center is a member of the Los Angeles Youth Project, and there are more than 50 activities for children and adults in the community. Recreation leaders from many social agencies join with our tea- chers in snonsoring these activities. The nrogram is under Mr. Kanlan's direction. Lafayette Center is becoming well known for its clubs, toy loan, canteen, movies, snorts, and tele- vision. We are very grateful to the Los Angeles Rotary Club for presenting us with one of the largest tele- vision sets in the United States. Some of the highlights of the W'5O semester were the big Halloween and Christmas Canteen narties, the Armistice Holiday camning trio to Clear Creek, the Football Trophy dance, and the great number of club ,parties at the new Barbecue nit which was donated by the Sigma Theta Pi sorority. 30
