take place. A couple of activities NHS contributes to every year are the Special Olympics and organiz- ing the ST blood drive. Fundraisers like selling candy have become very useful in helping the community and the students. At Christmas time, flowers were deliv- ered to the sick people in the hospital and they are now paying for a seven year old orphan in Kenya. Other things the money will go towards will be scholarships, a field trip, and the NHS banquet. There are many reasons why peo- ple join NHS, but the main reason stated was, it look's good on a col- lege application. Viet Nguyen stat- ed, I think that it's expected for you to join if you are academically quali- fied. Many students have high hopes for the future of NHS. June Honma hoped, that in the future there will be more members so more help can be done in serving the community. To sum up his feelings about NHS, Aaron Danzer stated, NHS allows us to expand our horizons and to realize our potential. By Valerie Orsolini. I nvolved in school activities and community services, the Nation- I lal Honor Society is a select •—■I group. Not only do the students have to maintain a 3.0 GPA in their academic classes, they must also have a teacher recommendation, leadership qualities, good character, and be active in the community. Therefore, they must be overall, well-rounded people, stated Patri- cia Wilson. There are many responsibilities that come along with the prestige of being president of NHS. Some of the responsibilities June Honma has as president are, reporting to the ad- vice and consulting with vice presi- dent Mike Young and secretary Jen- nie Chen about activities that will NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.

BRAINSTORM This club does more than write; it provides an outlet for students thoughts; it is ... Literature in Action icture if you will; a quiet, dormant room filled with quiet hunched over forms. Bent over their desks, they diligently work ideas over in their heads, magically, these ideas come alive; thoughts emerge from no- where. Their ideas range from ad- venture to science fiction. Methodi- cally. with a trained eye, they sort the good from the bad. What does this quiet room contain? This years writ- ers club. The club, which is led by officers Mark Pandori, Andy McClennan and Terri Lin. is working hard to create and compile enough literature to fill their famous end of the year magazine. There is one small problem this year though. The problem consists of poor planning and organization. The motivation needed to put in the long hours required of a novelist is just not there. Mariangela Summers, class advisor, stated, The major problem we are encountering this year is a lack of leadership and interest. For the first time in the recent history of the club; the officers, as well as the members, have not shown the ability needed to produce their annual magazine, which has been so popu- lar in the past. Organization seems to be the major problem we're en- countering,” explained Marc Pan- dori. Nobody really knows what we re doing; are we still considered a club?” Asked Terri Lin. Mariangela is convinced though that the officers, as well as the members, will come around and create a magazine that will amaze us all. I have faith that whenever the officers get serious and really apply themselves I'll be here. When that happens we'll put out the magazine.” By Darin Walker. The Participants.

Students must receive a total of ten points with A's being three points and B's being one. If a student re- ceives a D or F he is automatically disqualified. Open to all students, CSF mem- bers are selected every semester. Seniors who have been members of CSF for four semesters are qualified to become life members. Becoming a life member means having a chance to receive one of two scholar- ships given out at the end of the year. People join CSF because, ... it looks good on a college application and I want to get a scholarship, stat- ed Nathan Sheehy. I think this is a good club to get into to get a little recognition for my academic stud- ies, stated Mark Mabanag. To raise money for the scholar- ships, field trips, and the banquet, CSF members are required to pay a two dollar due and sell candy. By Valerie Orsolini TAKING CONTROL.
