The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is metal poor, at roughly one fifth Solar metallicity, and close enough that the Spitzer Space Telescope can obtain infrared spectra of individual stars within it. Multiple programs have used the Infrared Spectrograph on Spitzer to study a wide variety of objects, young and old, in the SMC. We have selected objects to fill out color-color and color-magnitude space and consequently have observed several objects with unusual spectral properties. We present some of these more intriguing spectra and map them into colors and magnitudes which can be used to identify similar objects from photometric surveys.
