The California Scholastic Federation CCSFD changed their ways a few years ago by making it harder to attain a gold cord for graduation. In order to wear the gold chord, 24 service points for four out of five semesters had to be earned. To earn service points, the student had to com- plete many hours of community service, school services, or club activities. Mr. Holmes felt that if CSF was to comply with the CSF motto of Scholarship for Service, the students should share their academic ability- through service for the school and the community, said CSF advisor, Rowles. In order to get more students involved in earning service points, CSF sponsored Jump for Heartf, To earn service points students had to get pledges from other students and jump rope for as long as they could. The proceeds of the program went to the American Heart Association. Jump for Heart was an excellent way for students to be involved in CSF and to help the community at the same time through service, said CSF president Collette Martin. CSF also held their annual breakfast to in- spire members. Every year we try to do something special for the members and donuts in the morning always seem to work! explained CSF Vice-President Arxi Kitsinian. 3 A444 MAKING THE COUNT - Senior Collette Martin discusses service points with CSF officers, Sue Kim and Laura Daroca.

'ww Spicing it up I 1 ola, LComo estas?w exclaimed Cynthia Pro- vencio, senior, as she entered Mrs. Lujan's classroom for the Spanish Club meeting. To many people on campus, these were very familiar words. The purpose of the Spanish club was to let the students experience not only the Spanish language, but its culture as well. The Spanish Club accomplished this by participating in many activities. Some of the activities the Spanish Club participated in were taking field trips to see Flamingo Puro dancers and to Olvera Street, selling flowers, chocolate Santas, and tostados on food day, and having picnics. The Spanish Club was mainly comprised of Spanish students. This year the Spanish Club has been more successful and bigger than any other year, stated Nicole Mercado, senior. The Spanish Club not only had more members, but it also took part in more activities than any of the previous years. The Spanish Club was a great way to get involved and meet people. You learn a whole different culture, while having fun, commented senior, Jia Oak. The advisors of the Spanish Club were lr- ma Lujan and Jill Paredes.

new business I I ' joined the Business Club because l have taken business classes and have really enjoyed them, said Laura Deck, senior. There were many reasons that students joined the Business Club, but the main reason was to learn more about business. The purpose of the Business Club was to see how businesses run in the country. The advisors of the club were Karla Maez and Kevin Pat- terson. The president was senior Amy Grammer and the vice president was senior Danny Cota. Basically, we were trying to reform the club because we thought the Business Club had more potential then had been show thus far, said Danny Cota, senior. One activity that the Business Club worked on was a charity event for Easter. The club made Easter baskets and donated them to people at Lanterman State Hospital. Before they delivered the baskets, the officers of the club went to the hospital to see what it was like. We didn't want this event to be blindly charitable. l'm really glad we did this because it was an eye-opening ex- perience, said senior Donte Henry. I The Business Club met every Thursday at lunch, and were very dedicated to the ac- tivities of the club. Our goal is to get everybody in school a leg up in the business world. Whether you plan to be in the business field or not, business knowledge will always be a valuable tool later on in life, concluded Cota. 4 GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS - Business club advisor Karla Maez prepares for the meeting.
