All four Tempe High Schools' BSU members met at Corona del Sol to speak with people of varying careers. Each member talked to each facilitator for ten minutes to learn about the different jobs and the re- quired education for each job. When asked how she felt when Evan Mecham decided to revoke the plan for a Martin Luther King holiday, Mrs. Bobo, club sponsor, stated My concern is to always be able to deal with the adversities in life because there always will be Evan Mechams in this world. Officers for this group were Noralyn Payne, president, Chanda McDonald, vice president, Patryce Davis, treasurer, Erin Nicole Bobo, public relations and Chris Bobo, photographer.
