![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.

On Friday Nov. 12, the LHS library is sponsoring “National Gaming Day @ Your Library.”
This is the first year that the event has been held. It was created by American Library Association as a way to get teens and young adults to come to the library and see all that it has to offer.
The official day is Saturday Nov. 13, but since the library isn’t open, Lafayette will be holding its very own game day on Nov. 12.
Librarian Nichole Ballard-Long said, “The goal is to get people to see how cool the library really is. Then, while they’re here, they may decide to check out a book too.”
Participants are invited to bring their own games, or play some of the games that the library provides.
“We will have a Wii, a Super Nintendo 64 and a Gamecube, along with various board games and card games,” Ballard-Long said.
The electronic games will be projected on the library Smartboards and TVs throughout the day, so students can visit the library and play anytime during the school day.
