When academic achievement and ser- vice was mentioned, the National Honors Society and the California Scholastic Fed- eration could not be overlooked. CSF and NHS actively offered their time and aca- demic abilities to enriching the school's environment. NHS sponsored this year's Toga Dance along with the Canned Food Drive during the winter season to help raise money for the needy. The CSF members helped encourage academic growth by offering their suc- cessful tutoring program open to any stu- dents seeking guidance. They also showed interest in aiding the less fortu- nate by participating in the Head-Start Pro- gram. Membership for both these clubs was determined by their scholastic perfor- mances on and off campus. Copy and Photos by John Auyeung Layout by Deborah Yoo, Judy Chang 50 ix: ui: an in .i 'sulgtt S95
