We had three extraordinary classes back to back, the seniors, juniors, and sophomores. You rarely see that, said Don Vogler, co-adviser for CSF. We had an excess of 50 repeating CSF members for four semesters or more in this graduating class than ever before. As individuals they each excelled, but as a group of motivated individuals they worked as a club, a fun club promoting activities and raising funds. i'Everybody gets out of class. We eat a lot of food and have fun, said Kate Steinheimer, CSF president. Among the having fun times the club man- aged to decorate the school Christmas tree, raise several hundred dollars for the scholarship funds, carry on a MSLM candy sale, and go to the Manteca Waterslides for their annual field trip. The first semester officers were: Kate Steinheim- er, president, Prizel Arquelada, vice president, Lea Umnas, secretaryftreasurerg Emily Romero, social services director, and John Nahigian, historian. Second semester officers were John Nahigian, president, Kuldip Kaur, vice president, Prizal Arquelada, social services director, Joy Soriano, secretaryftreasurerg and Marino Linardon, histori- an. However, the impressiveness lay not in the activities of the club but in the production of its members. I was impressed as an adviser that the three classes have been able to be back to back like this. lt'sjust so dog-gone good, said Mr. Vogler. by Robin Saxen photos by Stephen Chesley 3.

The Tigers finished third in the competition behind seven-time win- ner Stagg and runnerup Lincoln. Despite Stagg's seventh consecu- tive win, the Tigers won several indivdual awards. These included: senior Brian Ma- nich, winner of the essay competi- tion in the scholastic division, senior John Park, winner of the essay competition in the honors division, senior Bryan Hitchcock, winner of the science competition in the varsi- ty division, and senior David Farrar, winner of the science competition in the honors division. l enjoyed working with the kids and l liked the idea that the topics ifor Academic Decathloni were out- side the realm of the classroom and the kids got to study things that you wouldn't study normally, said Coach Allen. ln addition to coaching the Tig- ers, Coach Allen also coached at Montevideo Christian High School in Watsonville for two years before coming to Tokay. Although she was not considering offering Academic Decathlon as a class, similar to Stagg's program, Coach Allen planned to return as coach next year better prepared. ln addition to getting her recom- mendations in the spring instead of the fall, she planned to study the super quiz in the summer and the novel in the spring, and work a lot more on the speeches. Tokay placed third in the super quiz competition behind eventual winner Stagg. Tokay improved from last year's fourth place finish despite a more difficult super quiz topic than last year. by John Park photos by Leroy Lambert ng- sa mm' Z 4 3 r i ...wx 0... .. .,,,..W..,,...-...W ...W-
