Mrs. Alma Howdeshell and Dr. Jean Kleitsch, reserved the right to remove any member who failed to meet his or her obligations.

Outreach was a committee that went to organizations outside of the school and performed puppet shows, creative dra- matics work shops and story telling. At times they were performing twice a week. Over Christmas, they presented the play The Grinch Who Stole Christmas to grade school children. As to Outreach, Lazurus felt it was wonderful to see LHS kids performing with children.
