speech Club Demonstrates Forensic Talent Lh shows her Forensic skills The Forensics Club, Bishop Amats speech organization, has improved immensely. Traveling to Berkley, the Speech Cluh competed with top clubs from across the state. Despite the loss of their moderator. Miss Stan- zione, the Speech Club has endured. The Forensics Club doesn ' t place its entire em- phasis on the speeches it makes. The club promotes a deepening of friendship be- tween its members and other students. Although their re- cord is not one of a champi- on, their hard work and dedication must be acknowl- edged. Carrying on a strong tradition is the key to the Speech Club ' s success. We at the Tusitala commend the hard work and effort of the forensics club. While Bill gi to Berkley tournametit.

The California Scholarship Federation is an organiza- tion which exists to distin- guish the students that have maintained a 3.5 or better grade point average. This club is a combination of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who show strong leadership potential and possesses high scholastic achievements. These stu- dents serve Bishop Amat by tutoring those in need. Some of the clubs activities planned for this year includ- ed C.S.F. night at Disney- land and the making of Eas- ter baskets. After four se- mesters of membership, stu- dents will graduate with honors. Being a member of C.S.F. benefits the students in such areas as scholar- ships, colleges and future oc- cupations.
