Three Programs Broadened Student Interest Scope was an organization that dealt with topics of interest to the student body. A typical meeting usually included a speaker who was well versed on the topic of discussion. The purpose of the organization was to broaden student interest in areas of great concern or mere curiosity. Meetings were irregular, depending on availability of speakers. Tucson papers, the Daily Star and Citizen, offered advanced students of iournalism additional opportunity to write in the section of the newspapers reserved for teen events and honors. Most high schools in District One had iournalism students participate in this program. Certain days of the week were set aside for the reporters to enter their articles for publication. Responsibility of deciding on speakers for Senior Forum and contacting them to arrange a convenient time fell on the shoulders of the Coordinating Commit- tee. Special guests included former Sena- tor Barry Goldwater and foreign diplo- mat Curtis Kamman. 'QM , SCOPE OFFICERS-Cai Klassen, president, Davidson, secretary.

Essays and articles, artwork and pho- tography, poetry, and short stories were the four categories into which Spectra was divided. All artwork, photography and writing were submitted by students of all classes. Representatives from each En- glish class were chosen to introduce work at Spectra meetings. Fifty active members met every Monday night with their advisor, Miss Schiesel, to collect and edit material for the 50-page magazine. Entries for Spectra were iudged twice, first by the chosen representative who gave the material a grade from one to ten, and finally by an editorial board.
