Although small in numbers—Mazama's first PEP CLUB let their presence be known. This group of young ladies worked hard to bring pride to our school. You could always find them in their Blue and White uniforms on Fri- days, at every Pep Assembly, they were seated together, and at every game, they were there. Never did they fail to help cheer the mighty Vikings teams, be it Football, Basketball, Wrestling, etc. The girls sold PomPoms and Mega- phones in the Fall and during the spring they were dressed as clowns, selling Balloons at the Carnival. iwo mainstays of this organization were Tami Dansforth and Debbi Hurst. Both put in a lot of time and effort and were constantly figuring out ways to be at every sporting event, whether here or in Portland. These two young ladies will be spending many hours in an effort to increase the size of the Pep Club and encourage spirit at MHS.

“PUS” n mzm Peer Aid Leaders, or PALS for short are a federally funded program. Mr. John Peterson is the advisor of the group, assisted by Mrs. Nancy Fletcher. The function of PALS is to assist new students feel at home, by showing them around the school, answering their questions from a students point of view, and being their to help other students who feel or find it difficult to talk to an adult. In order to preform these tasks, it takes training, and the PALS spend many hours learning how to listen to others, what to say, and how to handle themselves as well as others. It is a good beginning for a student interested in going into counseling. Besides helping out at the school, these people, hold fund raising activities to assist with the opperation of the Hope and Crisis Hot Line, and often spend their own time there as volun- teers. Members of this years PALS included: Roxanne Jones, Diane Franke, Kim Garrard, Chris Hagen, Theresa Graves, Becky Darneille, Sheri Barker, Carolyn Freeman, Linda Booth, Penny Summerlin, Julie Howe, Tami Danforth and Debbi Hurst.
