Or- ganized well before the start of the school year, the committee had enough time to schedule interesting speakers. Senator Barry Goldwater, former gov- ernor Sam Goddard, UA Student Body President Steve Malkin and Tucson High School Student Body President Bobby Morris, were a few of the speakers pre- sented at the Senior Forum. Under the direction of Miss Ida Mae Nowels, three forums were planned for each semester.

BACK ROW: Marilyn Cheely, Miss Cynthia Schiesel, advisory Jean Bing- Fifty Page Spectra Released in March Bake sales, car washes and other ac- tivities provided funds for Spectra, Palo Verde's 50 page literary magazine. All literary and artistic contributions to Spectra were created by students. Four categories-short story, poetry, es- say and art-were established by the editors. Representatives, elected by each En- glish class, entered the class' literary works for judging. All names were omitted from the papers during iudging. Writing and artwork received a number of points from one to ten. Those papers which received the highest number of points were published in Spectra. An active staff of 12 members met every Tuesday night to organize the magazine. As no school funds, other than those acquired from the sole of the magazine, were alloted toward the pub- lication of Spectra, staff members were required to raise the necessary funds. A bake sale was held on January 24 at El Con Shopping Center. Several car washes were also held by the staff. Staff members, under the direction of Miss Cynthia Schiesel, began work on the magazine in September. Twelve active representatives edited and organized zine, which was scheduled to be released in March Spectra, a literary magazine. The fifty page maga- contained art, poetry, essays and short stories.
