Mazama High School - Valhalla Yearbook (Klamath Falls, OR)

As Senior Counselor, MS Fletcher, (right) stated that she felt the first class of Mazama had set a solid foundation for the rest of the classes to follow. She was proud of the academic success that all students seem to be having and especially proud of the many scholarships and rewards many of the seniors received. First Class is an accurate description of the SENIORS, this year. They are both the First Class of Mazama High School, as well as being the first graduation class of the new decade, the 1980's. Al- though many came with apprehension, by the time June came, they seemed filled with delight, and stood proud as they received their diplomas.

To hon- or this years 1st senior class, it was decided to take them out of the rou- tine of ABC and to show their individuality by plac- ing them in an informal or- der within their own sec- tion. It is hoped that this ar- rangement of the Seniors will remind each of us that although we go through life in order, there comes a time when we must be indi- viduals. As these young people end their formal re- quired education each will be taking his or her place in society and each will make their own mark upon the world. Being the smallest class at Mazama didn’t hinder the pep and enthusiasm of this class. A special thank you to the first class of Mazama. for helping to start our four year school in the right di- rection. As the seniors leave, they leave behind many memories, including the statue of the Viking found in the main lobby. When remembering the senior class, one will always remember the Powder Puff Cheerleaders, the crowded parking lot. the many mon- ey making activities they had to help pay the way to a much needed reward at Marriots Great America. Nice going seniors, in start- ing new traditions for Ma- zama High. For being the smallest class the Seniors did quite well. Some days were better than others but the Seniors did have outstanding spirit. They were active in most everything that went on: including sports, spirit weeks-, picnics. Seniors were always full of sur- prises too. At pep assem- blies. or in the halls, you could always find the sen- iors. they were the ones di- recting the actions of oth- ers. CLASS OF 1980 47
