GET SMART rain power! That's what the members of the California Scholarship Federation, Academic Decathlon, and the National Merit Scholarship Program had in common. One could consider these clubs al- most as sports. After all, CSF, Aca-Deca, and Na- tional Merit were just like sports except that the competitors used brains instead of muscle. CSF, advised by Larry Bushner, was a club for students who achieved a 3.5 or higher grade point average. Students applied at the beginning of each semester. For a lifetime membership in this elite group, a student had to be enrolled for at least four semesters, one of which had to be in the senior year. Aca-Deca was a team composed of students with varied grade point averages. Under the guid- ance of coach Doug Lit- ten, these students stud- ied and prepared for the competition. One excit- ing part of the contest was the Super Quiz in which students were quizzed on 'lt's almost like a sport, except we stuff our heads with knowledge instead of physical conditioning! - Patti Kameya one particular subject, this year flight. The 1987- 88 team placed high in the Los Angeles County pre- Iiminaries by participating in interviews, giving speeches, and writing im- promptu essays. It's al- most like a sport, except we stuff our heads with knowledge instead of physical conditioning, said Patti Kameya. The National Merit Scholarship Program pro- vided an opportunity for students to win college scholarships of up to S2,000. Three Agoura stu- dents - Andy Brosnan, Diane Gehart, and Eric Rosen - were selected as semi-finalists on the basis of their high scores on the PSAT. To apply to be- come finalists, these three had to submit their SAT scores, write an essay, and complete an application that included information about their extra-curricu- lar activities. Agoura High School has earned a reputation for its fine academic programs. Nowhere is the Charger brain power more evident than in CSF, Aca-Deca, and the National Merit Scholarship Program. - April Lee darrah Eric Rosen, Diane Gehart, and finalists and were anxiously Andrew Brosnan are Agoura wailing for scholarships to ar- High's National Merit win- rivc at their doorsteps. ners, They qualified as semi- txt Lkxk N X X 4' A T40 CSFf'Aca-Deca I 9 lite
