Mazama High School - Valhalla Yearbook (Klamath Falls, OR)

Energy abounded at MHS this year. Whether it was a part of an organized class, as shown above, or just the hobby of a student, like Dave Caverly, on his bike, everyone seemed to get in- volved. A 50-mile club was started for the staff, and by spring better than 50% of the staff had achieved 50 miles of aerobic type exercise. Some students showed their energy in other ways other than athletics. On the left we see, once again, the energy and creativity of our art students. The making of masks, was one part of the art program that really got students ex- cited and involved, and the uglier they could make them, the more they liked them. Creativity, variety, and energy are the words which could be used to de- scribe any day at Mazama, and we know it will be this way for many years to come. YOUR DECISION CLOSING 195

Creativity, variety, and energy are three words which could be used to de- scribe any day at Mazama. The staff works hard to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative ability. As seen in the photo above, the art de- partment becomes very creative. The mask being displayed is an actual plas- ter cast of one of the art students. Next to the cast we see one of the many en- tries in the annual district art fair. This years theme was “Up, Up, and Away’ , and what better way to get away than by flying in a kite. Our art department, under the direc- tion of Sue Schmitt, spent many hours preparing entries for this annual event. When the event came, there were live models for artist, contests for visitors, from paper airplane flying to crazy hats. Those in attendance had a great time and can’t wait to come to the 1982- 1983 fair which should be at MHS. Having guests in class provides for a great deal of variety. Above we see one of many entertainers that appeared to help our drama students learn more about the art of acting. Next to him we see a sample of the talent of our artists. MUST BE 194 CLOSING

Walking the halls at school this year one would most likely see several peo- ple roaming with a new type of head dress. The invention of the ’Walkman’, seemed to sweep the young people. Be- ing able to have their own headphones, and listen to their own music without hearing someone elses selection was neat. A group that liked to hear what oth- ers were playing, was our Jazz Band. This fine group of musicians spent many early hours practicing, and had the opportunity to travel to Portland for a festival for Jazz Musicians. They had a good time, and also brought hon- or to Mazama. At the bottom of this page we see several students heading away from the campus, either for the day, to go to work, go home to study, or just goof off, or maybe just during an activity period, and getting away for a bite to eat. 196 CLOSING THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE
