![To determine the Undefined team for next year, junior team captains Evan Sommer and Payton Skipton, along with drama teacher Michael Swindle, hold after school auditions.
“One of the biggest things we look at during auditions is how well they can work with each other,” Skipton said.
Undefined put up flyers with QR codes for interested students, as well as Lafayette’s show choir group, Mic Drop.
With a dance and vocal component for the audition, Mic Drop held mandatory dance clinics after school.
“The actual audition is just a submission,” music teacher Christy Shaffer said.
Mic Drop holds auditions and dance clinics for three consecutive days, according to Shaffer.
“[The dance clinics are held] so they could see it in-person and break down. Then they can take that home to practice and do their recordings.” Shaffer said.

Although millions of products are lined up at local convienance stores across the country, some homemade remedies may prove to be just as effective as popular $30 treatments.
Listed below are some unique methods of treating blemishes.
1) Wash pillowcases every few days to a week in order to remove dead skin cells and other bacteria possibly living there.
2) Apply ice to acne spots to reduce swelling and heal. The cold temperature unclogs your pores.
3) Try a crushed clove of garlic on blemishes. Garlic has anti-bacterial properties which eliminate bacteria that hides on skin surfaces.
4) Eat foods rich in Vitamin A like carrots, sweet potatoes and broccoli. Vitamin A in large amounts has been shown to act like the powerful drug Acutane, which is used to treat acne.
5) Create an acne remedy mask made of beaten egg whites, a few drops of witch hazel and lemon juice. Spread the mixture over the face and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse well with lukewarm water.
6) Use a nutmeg and milk mixture on acne spots for one to two hours to heal spots fast.
