CXF pfumdtei Ue ftiUm M re you prepared for the fu- f I The California Scholarship Federation tries to insure that students are ready to tackle col- lege and society in general. CSF offers students the opportunity to become involved with school and other students. CSF has helped me to be more social. I enjoy being in- volved with other things be- sides just school work, said ju- nior Ron Cadiz. CSF also gives students an outlet for their extra energy and creativity. The officers and club members kept busy with the canned food drive, Christmas flowergram sales, college trips, and the main event- the mid- spring talent show. In addition to the extra activities, the pro- gram still promoted academic excellence. Advisor Paul Lane said, I like being involved with the club members. We try to keep stu- dents aware of upcoming schol- arships; but also, CSF helps stu- dents work in groups success- fully and develop into success- ful citizens. Preparing for the future is often on the minds of college-bound high schoolers. I think the college trips are the most important part of CSF. They give students an opportu- nity to find out what to prepare for, said first - semester presi- dent Laura Wu. I also like what it represents- academic excel- lence and the encouragement of students.
