The new 1981-82 Department of Ap- plied Arts includes Art, Home Econom- ics and Industrial Arts. The depart- ment promotes a laboratory environ- ment along with a disciplined touch of academics that makes our department- al curriculum meaningful to the person who is career bound for college or the world of work. Mazama Applied arts has eight teachers and two aids- all oriented to- ward occupational skills, speaking the emphatic language or avocational en- joyment. Students (and people in gen- eral) need experiences in the applied arts either now, when we choose our career, or after our chosen career allows us to think about the things we are able to do by ourselves. These things we do with a tinge of excitement in our ap- plied arts facilities. “If only the hands that reach could touch.” Bob Welzbacker Co-ordinator Scott Teeples Metals 1, 2, 3, 4 Ed Putnam Woods 1, 2, 3, 4 Mike Finazzi Aide, Shop APPLIED ARTS Mr. Wagner explains an- other science concept to the class. 106 SUPPORT SYSTEM Sue Schmitt Art 1 Advanced Art Margaret Mann Child Developement Clothing 1 2 Boh Welzbacker Electricity 1, 2, 3 Mechanical Drawing 1, 2, 3 Dennis Bailey Auto 1 2 Small Engines Boh Terrell Aide, Art Jan Ehlert Foods, Meal Management Interior Design

Mazama has one of these special people, he is Mr. Nick Ooster- man. Mr. Oosterman has been here at MHS for three years now. He is the head wrestling coach and he enjoys wrestling very much. Mr. Oosterman also teaches General Science and PE this year and has taught Health in Pre- vious years. Besides wrestling, Mr. Oosterman also enjoys yard work and gardening. Last summer Mr. Oosterman spent four weeks working at an Olympic Training Camp in Lincoln, Nebraska. He then went on to Romania to serve as assis- tant coach for the wrestling team at the World University Games. This summer Mr. Oosterman plans to attend South- ern Oregon State College to work on his Masters degree in PE. Sam Houston Health 1 Adv. P.E. Drs. Ed. SHAPIN’ The Mazama Health clashes devoted much of their time to the concept ot “wellness” which deals with nutrition, fitness, and stress manage- ment. The “wellness” idea is based on the self- responsibility of personal health. Good health habits can do a lot to keep one healthy. This was the scope of Mazama Health. Mazama PE included PE L, which dealt with the basic concepts of physical fitness, move- ment, team sports, and individual sports. PE II., was more inclined to recreational games and lifetime sports. Going swimming and bowling were two activities which were included. Nick Oosterman Adv. P.E. General Science Don Zupan Co-ordinator 105

Pat Ward General Science Intro. Physical Science Larry Wagner Intro. Physical Science Physics One of the more weider teachers at Mazama is Jan Ehlert. She has a repu- tation for being crazy, acting crazy, and doing crazy things. And according to her, shes always been this way. In high school and college she worked very hard at her classes, but she played too. She did a few crazy things like breaking into the college pool for a mid night swim, which was among the more wilder things. Miss Ehlert came from Montana and received her degree from OSU. Where she will be next school year, we do not know, but we will miss her. 107
