Senator Muskie, Bruce Eggars, Barry Goldwater, Morris Udall, Bureau of ln- dian Affairs, Bill Fisher of GASP and Police Chief Gilkinson. 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

To express oneself in dance using the fluid yet precise movements to tell a story, express a mood or to simply perform a set exercise was the es- sence of Les Dansants. Meeting first period, the members of the group were advanced students who required teacher permission to join. Members participated in several work- shops during the year learning tech- nique and exchanging ideas with sim- iliargroups. Most people complain about our envir- onment but rarely do anything else to help the cause. The environmental ac- tion group was one way in which the dedicated complainers could put their ideas and energy to work. They spent the year promoting understand- ing concerning the environment and how to improve it, spreading their knowledge throughout Sahuaro and the entire community. E.A.G was involved with S.T.O. P. Qsave the Old Pueblob speaking to various local groups, fund raising drives, and the activities contained within. During the week of February 2-7 they spon- sored guest speakers, movies and brought awareness to Sahuaro on the problems facing us in environment. ORGANIZATIONS 173 PHoTos ev BETH MACH. MARK BERRY
