![As part of the Lafayette community, local youth soccer club Rockwood United SC took part in the annual Homecoming Parade.

![Although being only one of the two oboe players in the school, freshman Elise Morton said she will continue playing the instrument throughout high school. “[Playing the oboe] makes me feel special because I know Im playing a rare instrument and I love having a challenge because there’s something to improve on and get even better,” Morton said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Elise-Morton-Featured-Photo.jpg)
![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.

Every Friday, seniors gather around for a story math teacher Paul Krull likes to call Freshman Friday. And, ever since his 2004 Algebra 1 classes it has been a tradition for the lucky seniors who get to hear his troubles.
How did Freshman Friday start?
Well after teaching seniors for many many years, in 2004 I was chosen to have three Algebra 1 classes. And, because of their (the students’) actions over the course of that year, I recorded these stories and now tell them to my seniors for entertainment.
Who do you tell these stories to?
Mainly all of my Finite classes, but sometimes I give my Algebra 3 kids a treat and tell them occasionally.
What do your students think of your stories?
I think they enjoy them because they laugh about how these freshman really act.
How did you handle the freshmen in 2004?
Well first I forgot what they were really like. I had to crack down and show them they are in high school now. You have to remember they are not real people.
Would you ever teach another freshman class?
NO!
