JUDGES: Mr. Dehlinger, Mrs. Walker and Robert McKinney seemed engrossed in their work. MC JOHN KENNEDY dances along with Pam Cox. Mazama’s first annual Gong Show was a smashing success. Although it would not make prime time television, it made many people laugh and wonder why they had not gotten involved in the show. One of the big hits of the show were the three belly dancers, (shown on the opposite page) These three, plus their conductor, (not shown), got everyone off their feet and involved in what was happening. Acts, such as the Unknown Trick Shot Artists, Blondie and the Nerds; The Whistlen Dixies,” etc. were some- thing worth seeing and are still being talked about today. Whether Gonged or allowed to perform, all seemed to enjoy themselves.

The students of Mazama were very fortunate this year to have had the opportunity to see and hear a variety of special programs. The year began with a dynamic presentation on the screen called Power Play”, this program was designed to encourage a feeling of pride, and it did just that. Other programs which we viewed, although not all pictured, included: Governor Victor Atiyeh. Grandparents visitation. The Air Force Jazz Band, Male Model of the Year, Fred Crowell and Friend. Rhonda Jensen, Miss Klamath County, and 80 year old William Hetzel. a Bas- ketball Trick Shot Artist who was well received by the Student Body. Smiling, Gov.
