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

 It is a pity that so few people today are given a chance to appreciate mathematics. Somehow the subject has been lost from the liberal-arts course, where traditionally it held a central position. When mathematics is taught, it is pre- sented as a collection of slightly related techniques and manipulations. The pro- found, yet simple concepts get little atten- tion. If art appreciation were taught in the same way, it would consist mostly of learning how to chip stone and mix paint! George Boehm had never visited a Ma- zama classroom when he made that state- ment. At least, it is the philosophy of the five full-time instructors (totaling 78 years of experience in 9 states) that the tea- ching learning sharing of mathematics is an on-going personal committment-both for the student and the teacher. Education is the profession of these people; math- ematics the noble vehicle. Jim Stewart Co-ordinator Pete Heidrich Algebra Geometry James Stewart Applied Math Algebra Trigonometry Analytical Geometry And Arithmetic Who is the teacher that can tell original jokes, wear crazy ties, and one of his most memorable teachers was Mrs. Munnick? You guessed it, Mr. Pete Hi- drich! After graduating from Oakridge High School, Mr. Heidrich received his Masters from the University of Arizona. He has taught school in Weed, Klamath Union, and has been at Mazama since 1973. Mr. Heidrich says that he likes Mazama best because of the terrific teachers, the wonderful kids, and the good administration. Interests outside of school include: working at Ab- bey’s Pizza, singing with the Linkville Music Men, watching television and driving his Mustang. One of his most interesting hobbies is collecting coins. He said his favorite group of coins is a 1938 set of Oregon Trail Commemerative half dollors. If you ever get a chance to take a class from Mr. Heidrich, do it. He’s a terrific teacher and just a really interesting person to talk to! SUPPORT SYSTEM 103
