S.l.C. also sponsored the Faculty Show in January where interested teachers worked together and produced skits, raising S350 for the benefit of a tro- phy case. Although they could only work the first half of the school year due to the over- crowded calender, they came out with about 351200. The money was used for the lettering on the school, the trophy case, no-slip strips in the gym and will go to their future project of benches. During the month of December, the Ninth Annual Model United Nations convened. Over 800 high school stu- dents from all over Arizona partici- pated, posing as diplomats. The students presented and debated resolutions from the stand point of the nations they represented. The countries of Chad, Jamaica, Liberia, and Malta were represented by sixteen junior and senior students. Top: MODEL U.N.: Front Rom George Price. Liz Kroha.

Nine hours at school on the last Saturday was not uncommon for the average staff member when all the work was not completed. Through all the work the staff still found time for fun and relaxation. With a radio, jokes, and a couple of skits going on all at once, work did not seem like such a dull routine, al- though work was not completed as fast. Happy was the day when last year'S book was returned from National School Yearbook Association. They IABOVE: Joy Brown selects and crops pictures to be used in her organizations layout. 1 ' k 'mi 1 rated the VIVA! an A+, which is the highest grade given to any yearbook judged. Miss Backus was asked to write an article for Photolith by NSYA. This year the VIVA! staff was proud to present Sahuaro with a supplement given to everyone who bought a yearbook. ' The supplement included events occur- ring after the yearbook's final dead- line in March: graduation, spring sports and other activities. It was mailed in August to each yearbook owner's home. The staff lost a very important member .when Lynn Swigonski transferred. She had several sections planned before the beginning of the school year. ORGA NIZATIONS 169 PHOTOS BY PHOTO PUBLICATIONS

These were the speakers who had been scheduled to speak in Sahuaro's first Student Forum. A campaign speech started the forum and months of letter writing, phone calls and headaches. Planning for the speakers should start a full year a- head, Anne Broyles, founder and chairman commented. Finding a date suitable to the school and speaker both was practicalIyimpossible. Instead of prolonged speeches the forum was set up so that speakers and students could exchange barbs, opin- ions and questions. Speakers were chosen as to which would be the most interesting and controversial to the student body. ORGANIZATIONS 171 PHOTOS ev JOHN MARSALLA
