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.

A professional Santa Claus was at the party to entertain the children. Gifts were bought for the school with Red Cross funds totaling approximately 350. On Decem- ber 20, the Red Cross gave a ward party for patients at Davis- Monthan Air Force Base. Members made cookies and home- making students donated nylon bags containing useful items to the patients. Other plans for the Red Cross were school chests.

They carried globes, dictionaries, scissors, chalk, paper, pencils, a yearbook and the name and 'address of the Red Cross.
