F E A R L E S S L E A D E R S Dr. James ‘‘Mike” Jones Principal Larry Lund Vice-Principal 2b. Jerry Fitzpatrick Dean Of Students Ron Conner Athletic Director TO MAZAMA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS STAFF: I am now completing my third year as Principal of MHS. These years have been, to say the least, interesting and challenging. We have experienced many exciting and successful moments and events. We have also suffered through some agonizing times. Through it all, however, we have established Ma- zama High School as a leader in many areas and have certainly become one of the most exciting and spirited schools in the state of Oregon. I take a great deal of pride in this school and in you. I hope we can, through the future years, continue in the positive ways that have typified Mazama. Thank you students for being the best that you can be and thank you staff for being innovative, concerned, and co- operative. Sincerely, Mike Jones 100 SUPPORT SYSTEM

 Dr. Earl Ferguson assumed the superin- tendency of District UH2 on 1 July 1966. At that time Mazama was a 9th grade building only. In 1972 Mazama was doubled in size with the Sophomores added to the program. In September 1979 Mazama became a full fledged four year high school. “It has been a pleasure and an honor to have worked this past sixteen years with the fine patrons and students of the Klamath Basin” Earl E. Ferguson Pictured below we see the members of the school board studying a document before them, while below we see school board mem- ber Van Rudd discussing matters with KUHS Vice-Principal Tom Schubert and District Music Director Dr. Walt Wilson.

Being a Vice-Principal is not always as easy as some may think. Mr. Larry Lund has served in that capacity for the past 12 years. Being a vice-principal is not the only thing which keeps Larry busy. When not working hard to help keep Mazama running smoothly, you might find him doing one of his many hobbies associat- ed with hunting. Larry is an avid hunter, he has spent many hours calling turkeys, using his bow and arrow to hunt deer and spend- ing many relaxing hours scoping out the terrain to have the greatest success. Mr. Lund serves not only as the Vice- Principal, but is also the administrator in charge of the Rally Squads, and as- sumes the duties necessary to keep stu- dent supervised. Larry had the pleasure this year of traveling with the Third Edition on their California Tour. Leroy Christopherson Senior Counselor John Peterson Junior Counselor Nancy Fletcher Sophomore Counselor Sue Carlson Freshman Counselor Some very busy people in our school are our counselors. Each counselor is assigned to a specific class, however, they find themselves dealing with the students from all classes. Our counsel- ors, are also each assigned a special area that they co-ordinate, such as testing, graduate follow up, staff-student rela- tions, career guidance, etc. Our counselors spend their time helping students to select courses which will be to their best interest in the years ahead, dealing with personal and fam- ily concerns about the progress of the individual, along with just being a friend, a person to whom a student can go and visit and not worry about being graded. Our counselors also serve as the class advisor. This means they must also find time to help the students ar- range for fund raisers, class competi- tion, and those special events like Jun- ior Senior Prom, Graduation. Busy, yes, but never to busy to find time for their students. SUPPORT SYSTEM 101
