110 SUPPORT SYSTEM Ruth Phelps Media Aide Winnie DeWitt Media Specialist Marilou Proett Media Secretary Mazama is a very lucky school, we have people employed to be of assis- tance to our various needs and wants. We have a very special library which offers us not only books, but film- strips, records, and a variety of equipment to use. This year we ad- ded a new electronic scanning device to help us maintain the quality of the materials. We also have employed a full time nurse, who spends many hours car- ing for our colds, bumps and bruises, and being a pal and friend to every- one. If you are looking for a job, we have a work experience director who will help you discover yourself, your potential and maybe even a full time job.

Don Lentz American History Western Civ. Anthro SOCIAL STUDIES Merlin Reynolds Citizenship 2 Global Studies In Mazama’s third year as a high school there were still more changes and challenges in the social studies cur- riculum. The state mandated that a new class called Global Studies be taught in each Oregon high school. In addition, Mazama faculty members tried to teach pride and respect for America by emphasizing the historical and political concepts which are basic to democracy. Other classes focused on psychology, City planning, Anthropolo- gy, World religions and World cultures. These courses gave the student a diver- sity of choices for elective study.

Coming to Klamath Falls from Reno, Nevada, Sue Ayarbe has found the transition to life here to be to her liking. Sue has been employed in the district for two years. She works as the ERC instructor helping both students and staff work together on special programs. For the past two years Sue has been advising the Dazzlin Dancers and she has been doing an outstanding job. In two years this group has progressed, im- proved and won awards of excellance in competition. For fun Sue enjoys the sun, traveling and working with young people. Sue has been a bright spot in the futures of many. A very busy spot in the 20’s hall is room 22. This is our Reading Lab. Under the leadership of Dan Fast, this room is a be- hive of activity. Dan has four very capable assistants who spend hours and hours working with the young people of MHS to help them improve their reading ability. Another behive of activity is room 38. Here we find Sue Ayarbe working hard to help young people improve their self con- cept which in turn helps them to improve their abilities in school.
