When the Tucson Symphony Orchestra held its concert at Palo Verde, some of the more advanced students were needed to help.

Through field trips, tours and demonstrations of photographic tech- niques, these students were able to in- crease their knowledge ot photography for future reference. For field trips and tours, they went to such places as Dave's Photo Lab, Arnie's Movie Processing Plant, and Old Tucson to take pictures of the High Chaparral set. Litewriters were required to enter the State and National Photography Festival held in February. This contest also en- abled more advanced photoraphy stu- dents to try for scholarships.
