Put simply, CSF is not just a brain group but a gathering of people that are hard-working and intel- ligent. This year, the club's leaders, Elizabeth Po- tente, President; senior, Susan Miles, Vice-President; senior, Sandra Woo, Secretary; and senior, Keith Howell, Treasurer, tried to stir more interest in the club. In the past years, member participation had not been overwhelming. There was an improvement this year in the attendance of members to regular club meetings. During the year, guest speakers were brought in to speak to CSF members. Community service also played a part in CSF activities. A volunteer program was begun at Children's Hospital where students went for two hours a day after school to tutor chil- dren and conduct play therapy. Other benefits of CSF included being able to use the organization on college application forms, and rec- ognition for seniors in the graduation ceremony. As Keith Howell put it, CSF is the best organization to join in preparation for a good future. Sitting with her teddy bear, sophomore, Souling Chou wonders. When's the next meeting? CSF treasurer.
