Aguero The California Scholarship Federation is one club without any financial dues, but this club does indeed require a strong sense of responsibility in its members. Open to sophomores, juniors and seniors, the club requires that its members maintain a 3.4 grade point average. Once in the club a girl devotes a part of her time to tutoring students with problems in academic subjects such as mathematics, languages, social studies and science, truly following the club motto Scholarship through Service. Among other club activities is the annual field trip on a school day which could range from a campus tour of a nearby college to a trip to the Griffith Park Observatory. Although the field trip does provide some means of education, it also provides a dedi cated C.S.F. member with a pleasant break from academic pressures associated with school, as any member knows. This club is just one of the many rewards a student can achieve if she applies herself and proves to be responsible.

Creating Spirit Z -: The cheerleading squad, composed of four members, is the smallest group in the school that stresses spirit and participation. It is not easy to make the squad because it requires much time and dedication, but for many it is an enjoyable experience. It may be a small group, but as captain, Susan Martinez says, It is easier and less complicated to organize a routine with a smaller number, The cheerleaders ' mam goal was to represent the school spirit and unity at many of the games and pep rallies They tried to do this by organizing vibrant routines that captivated the spectator ' s attention All in all the group isn ' t as tiny as it seems, because it sure has a lot to say about itself. 1 Members of GAA and Pep Squad gather around tor a brief meeting 2 Several Pep Squad members transmit spirit at many of the games 3 Everyone feels the heat and beat of the cheer- leaders 4 A view from the Good Year Biimp of the school s campus 5 Carmen Garcia leads a cheer at a home gome
