Science—preface of the space age Today in what is truly The Scientific Age, education is apt to fall victim to overemphasis or specialization. Science is important: it may train you for a good postion; yet it is by no means the alpha and omega of the truly educated man. To be truly educated your schooling must manifest a balance of train- ing in history, language, literature, mathematics, philosophy, science and theology. Science in today’s world has mushroomed in importance — but still it is only a part of the whole. At St. Ignatius we strive to give the student the best in each of these important fields — so that whatever his future training demands, he will meet it equipped with a sound and solidly educated background — Richard D.

NHS CSF The California Scholarship Federa- tion is a statewide organization, incor- porated under the laws of California, which is an affiliate of the California Teachers Association. It has chapters in 560 public and private accredited Cali- fornia high schools. It consists of ap- proximately 1000 faculty advisory members and approximately 28,000 student members. The purpose of the CSF is to pro- mote hi h standards of scholarship and loyalty in the high school in the state of California. Here at S.I., the CSF represents the most outstanding students of the school; outstanding because of their exemplary record in academic pursuits as well as in extra-curricular activities. To become a member of the CSF, a student must meet definite standards with regards to the academic and extra- curricular program offered at Saint Ig- natius. Consideration for membership requires at least a B average for the semester and active participation in at least one extra-curricular activity. Led by Mr. O’Brien, S.J., moderator, and Dave Mezzera, president, this year’s CSF became a dynamic factor in the school with its active work in academic tutoring. Although, strictly speaking, the CSF is the honor society here at S.I., membership in the National Honor Society is offered each year to the intellectually elite of the school which is usually about 2% of the student body. Membership in this society is determined on the basis of unusual academic ability demonstrated in various batteries of ability tests and national competitive examinations. Each member must be recommended and approved by the school authorities before being accepted into the society. Loyalty, leadership ability, initiative and maturity arc prime considerations for acceptance into the National Honor Society. Back Row, I. to r.: P. Cummins, J. Jordan, M. Yost, E. Gollop, J.
