MAZAMA MJQM SCMOOC HJSZOKV azama High School named, after Mt. Mazama, started out as an experimental one year school, as a result of overpo- pulation at Klamath Union, a four- year school. At that time, since it was easier to shift the ninth graders to the new school, and they seemed more comfortable there. About 600 students attended Mazama Secon- dary School each year. In 1973, Mazama became a mid- high school, housing both freshmen and sophomores. About 12000 stu- dents attended the school each year during the six years that Mazama was a mid-high school. During those years both the cafeteria and the library were expanded. On September 19, 1978, Klamath area residents voted to pass a bond changing Mazama Mid-High School to Mazama High School. This year Mazama has again been enlarged. The additions of several classrooms, mainly in the Social Studies area, a chemistry lab, and a photography lab were made. Tennis courts and a student parking area were also added. Mazama began as an experimental single year school even though the suburban area apparently wanted it to become a high school. Fourteen years later, after the transition to a mid-high and the turmoil that began during these later years, the high school became a reality. And so, we have begun as a new high school, full of pep and energy, an anxiously awaiting our future. 4 MAZAMA S GOING
