0' C.S.F. honors benefit ambitious students Looking for their chance at fame and scholas- tic fortune, ambitious T.H.S. students made C.S.F. CCalifornia Scholarship Federationj one of the most popular clubs in school. Whether striving for life membership or just taking advantage of in-school benefits, mem- bers kept a B average or better to earn the ten grade points necessary for acceptance each semester. I joined because it will look good on my college transcript, explained Brian McDonald. Other benefits included field trips to U.C. colleges and a trip to the Capitol Building in Sacramento, with preceding fundraisers. Even one time in C.S.F. looks great on a scholarship form, plus its another activity to list on an appli- cation stated C.S.F. president Andrew Priest. Life membership,obtained by four semesters in C.S.F.,opened valuable opportunities for scholarships in many colleges, as well as offer- ing everlasting celebrity in the form of a plaque kept in the library listing names of all Life C.S.F.'ers. Public recognition was acheived at graduation with special diploma seals and the notable gold stole to be worn over the gradu- ation gown. The stole and plaque symbolize all my years of hard work, expressed Janet Lind- say. They show that once you set a goal, you can accomplish it. 40 ' C.S.F.

33, ,X,Px ri w AFS greets Martin, Bibi A.F.S. stands for American Field Service, which is an organization that tries to promote international understand- ing through student exchange, explained advisor Mr. Marks. Exchange students entering THS this year were Mar- tin Fredriksson of Sweden and Maria Bibi Guignini of Italy. I found out that there is not a big difference between the two countries, expressed Fredriksson. My host family is just like my regular family to me! Turlock's Kate Carney spent her summer in Italy while junior Rachael Pagano prepared for her senior year transfer to another country. Part of the exchange experience en- tailed tumultous adjustments. For Bibi, language was the biggest obstacle. This proved also to be a major barrier for Kate Carney as she explained, There were a lot of adjust- ments to make since I spoke no Italian, but I had a wonderful summer that really opened my eyes. Faced with returning to their home countries this summer, the students reflected on the year and themselves. Stated Martin, I take care of myself more than I did before. lt's been a maturing process. I'll miss the weather . . . no, the people most. Bibi concluded, Well, this experience has made the world seem much smaller to me. l'm glad I came to America. Experiencing a slow year, the Interact club set their hopes on a new group of members. After losing nearly all of the 1981 members at graduation, this year's group filled with ambitious sophomores and juniors. Project attempts were noble, but futile.
