Ma- zama has continually proven that its got what it takes to be the best. The 1985-86 school year was no exception. Mazama is known for its dynamic school spirit, quality education, and dedication of the parts of teachers and the students. Since Mazama became a high school, school spirit has always prevailed. Both the student body and faculty at Mazama have a shared pride in all factors of the school. Whether it be attending sports events or being a member of a club, school spirit is more than evident at Ma - zama. Activities such as painting the M each year, attending homecoming events, and Mazama’s sixth man during bas- ketball season clearly prove this. But, school spirit isn't the only thing of teachers who strive for quality educa- Mazama has. Mazama has a large group tion. Mrs. Paulann Petersen, who teaches Advanced Placement. Freshmen Honors, and Junior General Literature said, I'm getting a good education at Mazama, and my students are all potential poets wait- ing to be discovered. What could be bet- ter than thatr' At Mazama the teachers are not only involved with classes, they are actively involved with clubs and sports. Chaperoning dances, coaching teams, or refereeing games are just a few of the things teachers do besides instruct- ing. At Mazama students are the First priority of the teachers. The dedication of both the faculty and the student body is what makes Mazama great. The faculty is devoted to making school, classes, and events worthwhile for students. At the same time students par- ticipate in classes, clubs, and sports. The triumph of the varsity football team in the 1985 Canal Bowl is just one example of the dedication of the faculty and stu- dents. The combination of school spirit, I’ve always felt that Mazama has a special spirit. During the four years I’ve been here students have always stood during basketball games and cheered at football games, win or lose. — Nicole Arana quality education, and dedication on the parts of the teachers and the students proves that at Mazama High School - We’ve Got What it Takes! Receiving the Canal Bowl Trophy from Mr. Pisan are the Seniors of the varsity football team. The team was the first in Ma ama's history to beat K.U. Attending a Viking football game arc Seniors Katie Miller and Judy Shaffer. Many students shared in the excitement of the Canal Bowl victory. 2-We’ve Got What It Takes Cheering on the Viking football team are seniors Misty Preston and Michelle Jackson. Mazatna students are known for their school spirit. Discussing the properties of DNA is Mr. Bryon VanFleet. Being one of the dedicated teachers at Mazama. he teaches Biology and Human Anatomy. Parking for two? Tom Gardner always parks his unique truck sideways to avoid any mishap. No, it’s not Harpo Marx, it's Ms. Taylor. Mazama Drama is a constant encourager of individuality at pep assemblies. Boards up! Dusty Brewer struts his free style skate-boarding skills. Skate-boarding is back in style. We’ve Got Individuality What is individuality.'' It is a lot of things, but mostly it s what makes us different. Having a distinct personality is when you can feel free enough to do your own thing, and not be embarrassed or self-conscious about doing it. School Nobody should be afraid to act or dress the way they want. Everyone has their own style and should feel com- fortable in what they wear or do; if you aren't comfortable, your trying too hard to fit in and not pleasing yourself.” — Anne Leahy is definitely a place where you see this, and at Mazama, We've got individual- ity!” Originality is a characteristic attributed to someone who can be themself, regard- less of the pressure and influence of oth- ers. It's being able to do what the person inside each of us wants to do, without feeling inhibited. According to drama teacher, Ms. Taylor. Individuality is es- sential, otherwise you're just like every- one else. Students show their striking personalities in different way, one is how they dress. When one walks down the halls and sees several people with the same basic haircuts, shirts, jeans, and shoes one doesn't think much of it. But, when someone totally different in style walks by something happens, that person is re- membered. This person is remembered because they are their own individual and are not afraid to show it. You don’t want to follow other people s patterns or styles, you just want to be yourself, is how Leilani Farton feels about individ- uality. Dress isn’t the only way to express exclusiveness. If someone can liven” up a conversation with a joke or do some- thing funny they get everyone's attention. Tom Gardner says, Being an individual is doing things to please yourself, not worrying about pleasing everyone else. People's actions, the things they say, and the way they say them is also a way of saying, Hey, I am my own person; I'm a unique individual. At Mazama We've got Individuality,” and we re not afraid to show it. Anne Leahy’s philosophy is just that. Being original has its benefits, mainly it gets you noticed, which is something many people enjoy. Everyone can have their own marked personalities; and if everyone did, just think how colorful and interesting the world would be. Be a unique individual, be yourself! Flashy fashions hit Mazama! Anne Leahy's individual fashions can stand up to anyone's. 1920’s beads accent Leilani Parton’s 1980s at- tire. Leiiam can be seen many a day in her own exclusive fashions. We’ve Got Individuality -5 We’ve Got ____________New Beginnings The 1985-86 school year brought many new beginnings to Mazama for the pre- sent time and to better the future at Ma- zama. We first changed the name of our yearbook from Bolt of Blue to Valhalla in order to emphasize Viking traditions. The Mazama gymnasium has always had the name Valhalla Court” meaning Vi- king Heaven. and we wanted to preserve this theme. The theme New Attitude was also a new addition to the theme of the school and was strongly stressed during home- coming to provide a new outlook for our 1985-86 school year. Along with a New Attitude,” we also brought new additions to Mazama's staff. The new teachers have infused the school with enthusiasm and contributed greatly to Viking Pride. Mr. John Bastianelli, the new art teacher, first taught at the University of New Mexico. In his spare time he makes jewelry and stained glass. Monika Fischer is from West Germany and is fluent in three languages; German, English, and Spanish. Ms. Fischer is teaching Spanish. Having a strong liking for working with people, Mr. Gerald Green finds teaching chemistry quite challenging. The new or- chestra teacher is Mr. Dwayne Johnson who teaches at nine different schools in the city school district. He spent first period only at Mazama. Mrs. SusanLaw- rie, the new yearbook and general math teacher says, It feels like coming home. Mrs. Lawrie is a 1980 graudate of Ma- zama. Mrs. Julie Mitchell taught journal- ism, English, and also advised the news- paper. Mr. Bill Palmer (our new global studies teacher and assistant football coach) says, The kids here at Mazama are polite, energetic, and competitive. Ms. Lisa Taylor is Mazama’s new drama teacher. She says the most exciting thing to her is to watch the people in her classes who were shy become more aggressive. Last, but not least, is our new principal. Mr. Mike Pisan, who describes himself as It is our goal to provide a school and program where all people feel successful,” commented Mr. Pi- san. Mazama’s 1 fan. In his first year here he indicated he has found excitement, challenge, and positive experiences. He hopes the students, staff, and programs will receive the recognition they deserve. With new beginnings also comes a new name. In order to maintain Viking spirit, the 1965-86 yearbook staff elected to change the name of the yearbook from BOLT OF BLUE to VALHALLA Mr. Gerald Green shows off his chemistry shades.' This was Mr Green's first year of teaching at Mazama. 6-We’ve Got New Beginnings Flashing a quick smile for the camera.

Welcome to M.H.S. Spirit, individuality, and a prevailing new at- titude are just a few words that have been used to describe Mazama High School. Another word that has found its place in the history of M.H.S. is tradition. Although Mazama has only been a high school for seven years, it has already established the foundations for long lasting tra- ditions. One tradition that starts off every school year is affectionately known as Welcome Week. This year’s Welcome Week seemed to have toppled all of those in Mazama’s history. Wel- come Week activities took place during the second full week of school. The activities planned by this year s student council were very positive and even the timid Freshmen enjoyed the festivities. The week started when Freshmen were assigned to their Senior big brother or sister, whom they were to obey during the next week. For the ensuing week, many Freshmen attended classes dressed in ballet tutus, pajamas, diapers, and there was even a very masculine Chinese girl. Many Freshmen toted weights or wheelbarrows, sang songs on the Senior stairs, displayed colorful signs promoting the Senior class, and others donned scuba fins in a tribute to Flipper. Welcome Week isn't only for Seniors and “Bagged by his Senior. Freshman Denver Hylcmon listens to the jaunts and cheers of his classmates. Sights like this were very common during Welcome Week. Covering the floors of Valhalla Court with flour are Freshmen Dennis Koger and Amy Bortz. These two used straws to uncover a hidden surprise during Kangaroo Court. We love our Seniors, oh yes we do . . oh Seniors we love you!” These Freshmen who took part in Kangaroo Court sang their praises to the Senior Class. Freshmen; the Juniors and Sophomores got in on the act by participating in dress-up days. Each day of Welcome Week was designated to a certain style of dress. This year the days in- cluded Tourist-Hawaiian, Scum, Sports, Punk, and a day for Seniors to bag' their Freshmen's faces. A large percentage of the student body took part in the activities, many going to great lengths to come to school in very elaborate costumes. The climax of all Welcome Week activities had to be Kangaroo Court. Taking place on Friday, Kangaroo Court was often used as a form of bribery. Many uncooperative Freshmen heard the phrase, Do you want to end up in Kangaroo Court?” That was just what hap- pened to those who failed to obey their Seniors. Kangaroo Court was a mass assembly in Val- halla Court; Freshmen were called from the stands to take part in various activities. A few Freshmen who thought they had gotten through the week without having to dress up were surprised to find their Seniors waiting for them with face paints. Other Freshmen tried to feed each other whipped cream from a can. Some Freshmen held balloons covered with whipped cream in their mouths, while their Sen- iors tried to shave the balloons without popping them. And, of course, there were the ever- popular penny races. But probably the best event was when four lucky Freshmen used straws to blow flour out of a bowl in search of a M Sc M. The result was obvious. Finally, to put an end to Kangaroo Court and Welcome Week, a chorus of Freshmen assem- bled in front of the Senior Class and sang the tune of We love our Seniors, oh yes we do! The next week of school started as usual, but now the Freshmen Class was officially a part of Mazama High School’s student body. 8-Welcome Week Who arc these nerds? Troy Ferguson and Richard Hawk added a little pizaz2 to an otherwise ordinary Scum Day. Lorenzo Holmes advertises his great admiration for the Senior class. He was only one of the many decorated by their Seniors. Dan Pieratt thoroughly enjoys himself as he applies an- other layer of face paint on Freshman Lisa Griggs. Lisa was one of the Freshman who thought she had made it through the week without dressing up. Even secretaries Twyla Metier and Jan Hamblin got in on the act. Very few faculty members participated in Welcome Week activities. Welcome Week-9 The bonfire attracts a spirited group A large nu| rity of the M II S. student body enjoyed tin homecoming event.

Preparations for the homecoming fes- tivities began early in the week as each class busied itself constructing a float and making decorations for the halls. On Thursday afternoon, prior to the bonfire, the actual decorating of the halls took place. The bonfire, one of Mazama's many Home- coming traditions, served as an opportunity for the student body to show its spirit and offer encour- agement to the football team. In the hall decorat- ing contest the junior class emerged victorious with the sophomore class coming in second, the seniors finishing third, and last (but not least) the freshmen in fourth. Friday was filled with numerous activities. A special pep assembly was held to honor the home- coming court and the football team. School was let out early to allow students and faculty to attend Homecoming -11 the parade down Main Street. The parade (led by Grand Marshall Pete Heidrich) included the homecoming court, the cheerleaders, the floats, and the marching band. The floats were judged by local merchants, and the results were revealed at the game. The sophomore class took first place, the seniors second, and the freshmen third. Modoc Field was alive with Viking pride at Friday night's game. The cheerleaders chalked an enormous M in the center of the field. Halftime activities were enjoyed by all where Troy Ferguson and Sally Alexander were crowned Homecoming King and Queen. The Viking football team ended the night with a dramatic fourth-quarter victory over Eagle Point by a score of 19 14. The Homecoming semi-formal dance was held on Saturday night. The dance was heavily attended and was an enjoyable ending to an extremely suc- cessful week of events. Homecoming undoubtedly left M.H.S. students, faculty, and fans with pleasant memories of spirit and laughter.

The class of 1989 readily participated in all school activities. _ Classes Seniors 18 Juniors 30 Sophomores 40 Freshmen 30 Senior Features Viking Voyagers Imagine seeing beautiful castles and foreign cities along with new and exciting people. Seniors Steph- anie Long, Ken Leppert, Erik Van- derhoff, and Brookes Hunt along with advisor Donna Stern-Bredahl experienced all of the above during the summer of 1985. The trip was individually funded with the Ger- man American Partnership Pro- gram contributing one-eithth of the total cost. The group spent four weeks in Ladenburg, West Ger- many where they studied at a Ger- man gymnasium (high school). They also travelled to East and West Berlin — one of the most unique cities of the world. For Stephanie Long, a veteran world traveler, it was her second trip to Ladenburg. What she en- joyed most were making new friends and touring Berlin. Steph- anie said this about the experience, It was a blast! Let's do it again! Stephanie plans to return to West Germany in the future. Ken Leppert had a terrific time in West Germany, and when asked if he would like to return he re- plied, As soon as possible!” Eric Vanderhoff, a first-year German student, thought the five weeks in West Germany were fun. Eric liked the Olympic-sized swimming ptx)l in Ladenburg the most. This was Brookes Hunt's first time to travel out of the country. The trip the group took to Berlin was the most exciting part of the stay for her. She said this about the trip, 'I loved West Berlin. It was such an alive place compared to East Berlin. The city never sleeps, I can't wait to go again. All of the students who went on this adventure will never forget the wonderful things they saw and did while visiting overseas. Orient Express Yusuke Marimatusu's real home is in Tokoyo, Japan — a huge metropolis teaming with life and excitement. For a year Yusuke’s temporary home was Klamath Falls while he attend- ed Mazama as a foreign ex- change student. The 17 year- old senior lived with the Ondri- cek family and went to school with their son, Willie. Yusuke decided to become a foreign exchange student in America after he toured Cali- fornia in 1979- Due to a show regarding Oregon that he saw in Japan, Yusuke expected Kla- math Falls to be very spread out. However, it's almost the same as he expected it to be. One of the most exciting ac- tivities that he experienced was going to school and meeting new people. When asked what he thought of Mazama he re- plied, The people of Mazama are friendly, and it's fun to know American school life. As a matter of fact Yusuke’s favor- ite thing about the United States was how friendly the people were during his visit. Yusuke, a three-year English student in his own country, liked his algebra and English classes best. His favorite rock groups were Go West and The Fixx; he loved American ham- burgers. After Yusuke returns home he plans to enter a university and possibly major in commu- nications. He also plans to visit the United States again and tour the east coast. Yusuke’s many friends will miss him and wish him good luck in the future. Balancing The It's off to an early start at Or- egon Institute of Technology for three Mazama High School stu- dents. Why arc students Tina Max- well, Mike Novasad. and Greg Wunder already attending college courses.-' The reason is that Ma- zama doesn't offer an advanced ac- counting class. There are not enough advanced accounting stu- dents to constitute a second class at Mazama. The classes they attended, which lasted for the entire school year, earned them eighteen college credits plus high school credit. While attending O.I.T. they were 16-Senior Features Senior Features On The Air Imagine going to work at 4 p.m. high atop a hill, with sound-proof walls, and an au- dience to grade your work. That’s what Wiley Gibson, disc jockey (DJ) has been doing for the past 4 2 years. Wiley first became interested in radio while doing odd jobs at a station. The manager showed me how things worked, and I began to get interested in radio. The manager and I started do- ing morning shows together, and she helped me to develop the needed skills.” The first time I went on the air I was nervous because SO many people could hear me and things such as cueing records and talking smoothly had to happen without errors.” Wiley has since moved on to 99 1 'M; he has been using aliases in order to avoid stardom. He landed this position with an on- the-air audition. When a teenager thinks about getting a job, fast-food restaurants and stores come to mind. Being a DJ certainly isn’t an ordinary job. It takes a spe- cial type of person, and Wiley is that kind of person. Keep up the good work Wiley. Schedules treated like regular college stu- dents, which included paying for their classes and providing their own transportation. Tina Maxwell thought that the class was a lot harder than those in high school. We did a lot more work in a shorter period of time, she stated. Mike Novasad felt that tt was a great experience for high school and it helped him for col- lege. Overall, they felt that it was worth the extra effort to experience college life for a few hours a day. Foreign Flair Lucerne, Switzerland, to Kla- math Falls, Oregon is a long way from home for Mazama High School foreign exchange student. Karen Muller. Karen lived with the Bryant family whose daughter, Cassie, had been an exchange stu- dent to Switzerland. Karen, who is very good in Eng- lish, had only one year of English previous to coming to America. Since she enjoys English she decid- ed to come to the United States. When asked to compare classes here with classes at home. Karen said. School at home is much harder. At Karen s school in Swit- zerland they have more classes, more homework, and no choice of class schedule. Here taking a foreign language is an elective, in Lucern it is manda- tory to take French, Latin, and English. Karen enjoyed all of her classes, but psychology was her favorite. Other than taking classes, Karen enjoyed participating on the varsity volleyball team of which she said. 1 liked it a lot, I didn't get to play volleyball at home. Karen is an active person and likes skiing and taking jazz classes. During her stay she was able to visit the coast, to which she said, I enjoyed it very much, the coast is very impressive! Fainting The M During the 1984-85 sch x l year the class of 1985 along with the class of 1988 began the tradition of painting the M as a way of initi- ating freshmen into school activi- ties. Unfortunately, the tradition was not carried on this year when the senior class officers took on the job alone. This was not done in order to discontinue the tradition but in order to get the job finished. Getting the job done was not an easy task for Eric Kruse, Denise Koepke, Jack Heaton, Greg Wunder, Stephanie Long and Mr. Fitzpatrick. Afcer endless obstacles such as locked gates, a heavy paint sprayer, and Arctic weather, the M was finally painted on Octo- ber 19 after five hours of effort. The tradition of painting the M continues, and it is now up to the seniors and freshman of classes to come to complete the task.

Everything is calm in the halls of Mazama. The clock slowly moves to 11:55, and the lunch bell rings. Everybody watch out! Crowds of students run to their lockers, grab their money, and make a dash for their cars. The reason for this scramble? The object is to make it to the nearest fast-food establishment and back before the lunch-hour, well half-hour, is over. This was a typical part of the day during the 1985-86 school year. Many people discussed the possible schedule changes to allow more than 30 minutes for lunch. Most of the people who were asked what they thought about the lunch half-hour'' said it was just not enough time. Some students said it could have been the reason people were al- ways late to fifth period. They also had to eat fast, which was a hassle. What were the choices available to students regarding lunch? Staying at school or running to the store were simple solutions. Burger King or Arby's drive-thrus were always quick possi- bilities. Since nothing could have been done to allow more time for lunch, everyone should have been happy with the open-campus policy and the time we had. 30-Juniors Gary Cooper Kevin Cooper Julie Copeland Jim Couey Paul Culbertson Mike Delaney Rex Delay Tammy Dentinger Christine DeRosier Eric DeWitt Nancy Dumont Sabrina Eaton Todd Eck Brett Englestadter Jeff Englestacer Tom Fields Stephanie Fisler Annette Fleming Anne Flora Melissa Florez U N I O R S TRANSITION It's almost here! Much of the junior year was spent wishing for the time to pass in order to become seniors. Not quite there and feeling in between could be the slogan for eleventh grade students. The year wasn't entirely nondescript. High- lights included the Preliminary Scholastic App- titude Test (PSAT) and the junior-senior prom. The transition to a senior brings with it new responsibilities. One of these is carrying out fr.ulmons such as painting the M and the shield. For some it is preparing for college by taking the scholastic aptitude test and filling out col- lege applications. For others the senior year means finding a job and making plans for the future. I am excited about becoming a senior because you are finally on top but there are a lot of responsibilities to prepare for,” noted Megan Collier. The senior year will bring upon the end of high school days, but it also means the begin- ning of new things to discover.

This is one of the problems sharing a locker can bring about. Yet most students share a locker with one or more of their friends. This is especially true in the case of freshmen and sophomores who are assigned bottom lockers. By the time students are juniors and seniors they've gotten used to sharing in order to avoid bottom lockers and now like to share lockers in order to be with their friends. Some students complain about the lockers be- ing too small and locker areas being over- crowded. Others find grabbing the wrong book and the constant shortage of pencils and pens very annoying. But, despite the drawbacks most students like sharing lockers and will continue to do so for the years to come.

One way high school students are able to earn spending money is with a part-time job. Many Ma ama students spend their afternoons and week- ends putting in hours at fast-food restaurants, the- atres. or family-owned businesses. Debbie Stemple. a junior, is a member of the student work force. I think that working is an im- portant part of your life.” says Stemple. who hopes to save enough to buy a car. But, like most kids, she spends a lot of her money on clothes and entertain- ment before making it to the bank. Debbie enjoys her work at Dairy Queen because a lot of her friends work there too. and the customers are usually friend- ty- Although many people feel that a job may harm a student's grades, the facts prove this is false for the majority. Not only does a job help the financial situation, but it is also a good character builder. It helps students to interact with other people and learn responsibility, working also builds a sense of self- worth. and accomplishment. Last, but definitely not least, a part-time job is excellent for future job references and college applications.

To- day is a good day because no one notices. 8:00 p.m. Finally home. You have to watch at least an hour of TV to keep up with the latest shows. After all, you have to have something to talk about at school tomorrow. 9:30 p.m. Decide to make an effort on your homework — either Spanish, algebra, social studies, possibly even a combination of them if the spirit moves you. 12:00 a.m. Fall asleep on your math study guide, thus for- getting to set the alarm. Another day passes for a Mazama student. Will it ever end??? K -Juniors All the friends l or most of us. attending Ma ama High School means a simple morning walk or drive. But for ten German students it was a very different story. Thirteen hours of plane and automobile travel brought these students to Mazama s doors. Two of the foreign exchange students were Marc Khry and Henri Schomaker I hey attended classes here for three weeks Marc and Henri agree that school and its subjects are much easier here than at home which is Ladcnburg. Germany. 'I he city they live in is 2,000 years old which, compared to our cities, is ancient. When asked. NX hat hadn't you expected to find in Amerca' they said. 1 he people here are very friendly, more so than at home. According to Henri, Family life here is easier, more relaxed. During their stay Henri lived with F.ric Vanderhoffs family and Marc with Ken l.cppert's family. American life was a big change for them. They did things here for the first time that we. as Americans, consider basics. They visited Crater I.akc, went water skiing, and attended movies The movies they wanted to see were, of course. Back to the Future and Rambo First Blood Fart II. Our glorious fast-food industry, being what it is, made a big impression on our visitors with tacos, piz a. and hamburgers as favorites. They were also introduced to our music, resulting in two favorities: Too l.ate for Love and Billy Don't Lose My Number. There were a number of other students who also visited from Germany. They were: Richard Banschback, Haldun Tuncay, Christian Muller, Nicole Rtdinger. Karen Sauder, Felicia Sicinke. Annette Trohne. and Suzanne Zurger. Unfortunately, these students were unable to be interviewed; however, they are still to be remembered. In closing, a few days before they left (September 2 1, 1985) we asked them it they were ready to go home. Both Marc and Henri replied NO!' And, when asked what they would miss most Henri said.

One could have found a hall monitor roam • ing the halls of Mazama at any time of the day this year just waiting for a poor student without a hall pass in his possession. There were many different kinds of hall passes being put to use this year. They were exotic and ordinary. Anything from a bird cage to a wine bottle to an empty tape holder, sta- pler. or simply piece of paper with your name, the date, and the teacher’s signature frantically scrawled out while trying to maintain some kind of order in the classroom. If caught in the hall without a pass ( Heaven Forbid) you most often received a terrifying look, a few sharp words, and an escort back to class from one of those roving masters of disci- pline. This was the first year at Mazama that the hall pass rule was truly enforced. Before it was almost impossible to keep track of students in the halls, but now with the newly hired moni- tors hall passes are suddenly a must, not to mention a nuisance. Traveling through the halls with this pa� ln m Mr tchols was a uruque experience I 40-Sophomores Lainic Brewster Bill Bridges Brian Bryson Tammy Burk Tammy Gailloucttc Leslie Cain Cory Carlson Shane Carnes I)ania Carter Bill Carter Brian Caskey Rex Caverly Russell Clark Gia Clinton Darrin Condlcy Billy Conrad Shea Cooper Becky Coleman Gerald Corder Steve G x Dan Gawford Patty Ginich Nicky Dean Chris Deigan Tracy Denham RED IN THE FACE! It's happened to all of us at one time or another. We commit that one embarrassing act that threatens to ruin our social life forever. Somehow these things fade over time but the initial shock can seem to stop time. Here is a collection of embarrassing moments with names deleted to protect the victim. My friend and 1 took his dad's truck inner - tube out to a ditch and took turns floating around on it. When it was my turn. I started going out and it popped. I was trying to get out when I found that the ditch wasn't much more than knee deep. Last year in softball the grass was wet and my cleats slipped out from under me. and I did a face plant during a game. I was walking in front of some gorgeous guys and I tripped and fell.' I was skiing down the hill and my tips started to cross and all of a sudden I was g€ ing down the hill with no skis on — they were about 50 yards up the hill. I fell down in the mud in front of a bunch of good-looking guys. I tried to open the wrong locker lor almost the whole class period and the people whose locker it was just stood there watching me. The first day of school when I was a fresh- man 1 went to the wrong class and sat through the whole thing before realizing I was in the wrong class. My mom and I went fishing and I fell into the lake in front of some good-looking guys. I was asking my friend questions about this guy I liked and he was standing behind her. I tripped before 1 got to third base during softball senior all-stars.

Luckily, amidst all the homework, confusion, and tedious little jobs that accompany the life of a teenager or adult, we all seem to have a fair amount of spare time. There are weekends, va- cations, and of course, summer. Now, think about it. Just what is it that we do with those treasured few minutes here and there? How do we ''kill time? It seems as though there are an infinite number of ways to pass the time you have with no particular pur- pose. Some methods of killing time bring fun and excitement while others could absolutely bore you to tears. It all depends on your indi- vidual interests. Mr. Van Fleet likes to help his wife with their potter f business on weekends. He also likes to go hunting and fishing. Even though these things are seasonal they're still fun. Some people could spend all summer laying by a cool blue swimming pool, soaking up the rays, while to others playing basketball or tennis in the park is greatly appealing. Traditional weekend favorites are going out to pizza and the movies. So as you can see, the way to pass your extra time is entirely up to you. Having fun or living in boredom is your choice. Passing the time is Faith lunch.

You’ve known for the past eight weeks that a twenty-page, major paper was due at the begin- ning of the ninth week. You’ve put it off time and time again and now it's Saturday and you suddenly realize that this extremely important one-third-of-your-grade paper is due during second period on Monday! How many times have you been in a situation similar to this? Maybe it wasn’t a vital report, but how about that scholarship application? Your English test? The double-page spread for yearbook? Those dishes that were supposed to be washed by the time mom gets home? Or, just getting ready for work? There are those of us in the human race that 48- Sophomores are very organized, on-time, and well planned in advance, but for most of us there seems to be an unwritten law that says, Why do now what you can do later?’’ Procrastination appears to be a national pas- time — right up there with baseball, hotdogs, and apple pie. You’ll notice, though, that pro- crastinating is nothing to brag about. It is a fault. A fault found in most of the American population. But, wheh you think about it, just how interesting would life be with everything done on time? Well, I really can’t decide how to finish this little article right now.

ARRIVING Transportation is a main concern for most high school students especially freshmen and sophomores. Stumbling out of bed in time to make it to school is a major accomplishment in itself, who needs to worry about how you’re going to get to that ominous institute of educa- tion. Juniors and seniors by far have the easiest time in finding a way to school. They might have their own car to drive, or surely one of their friends do. But, for freshmen and sopho- mores, the delivery of oneself to the steps of IN STYLE!! Mazama is not so easy. There are always the buses, but for some reason the thought of riding in an oversized, bright yellow vehicle equipped with too many blinking red and amber lights is considerably humiliating. Arriving to school atop a bicycle is not the most respectful way, but it certainly is a whole lot less embarrassing than scrambling down the steps of the school bus. Walking is more honor- able yet, but it’s still not quite the way most people would like to arrive. O-Freshmen Colleen Bickford Richellc Borrelli Amy Bortz Travis Bowers Chuck Bowman Yvette Bowman Fred Boyce Stacy Boyd Chris Boyle Walter Bradshaw Joey Carroll Scow Caste! Gloria Cates Eric Chase Tammy Chavarria Jason Chin Jeff Christophersen Sara Coke Craig Coombes Leslie Cossey By all means, showing up on the school grounds in a car (the nicer, the better) is the most admirable way to get here. The problem is finding a car to ride in. Those with older broth- ers or sisters who don’t mind playing chauffer are mighty lucky. So, if you don't have one of those, you'd better start making friends with some charitable license-holding upperclassmen. These times will pass, though. In just a year, the sophomores will be juniors and finding a ride won't be too difficult anymore. And, don’t fret, you freshmen, only two years until you, too, enter the era of transportation ease. Brian Toney — I ride the bus because I don't have far to walk to the bus stop. Don Stoney — I walk to school because the bus doesn't come by where I live. Rob Crapo — I ride my bike because it's fun and I love it. Deanna Gunn — I ride the bus because it's the only way I can get to school. Brian Mueller — My mom takes me because I don't want to walk. John Tena — I walk because I live too close to the school to ride the bus. Shane Addington — I ride my bike because the bus is too crowded to ride. Tina Petty — I walk so I can wave at all the guys on the way to school. Bikes are a popular mode of transportation.

Such is the case with freshmen phys- ical education. The activities that make up the daily p.e. curriculum depend a lot on the weather. In the fall and spring, p.e. activities consist of jogging, softball, tennis, soccer, speedaway. and calis- thenics. Winter activities differ. They are: bas- ketball, volleyball, tumbling, dance routines (for the girls) and, of course, calisthenics. Some students feel that these activities re- quire too much exertion. Freshman Didi Cran- dell feels that, It’s o.k., but I’d much rather not take it at all.” However, there were many stu- dents who really enjoyed p.e. Tammy Priem commented, It was fun; I liked it. The teachers were pretty nice.” Tina Petty liked the class since she felt, It gave us a chance to talk. Physical Education instructor. Miss Veitch, says, This year's freshmen class was cooperat- ive, and they seemed to enjoy p.e. While some freshmen had a negative view of p.e., most seemed to handle it well. No matter what one's opinion may be, freshmen p.e. is a requirement at Mazama and probably always will be. After all, except in very unusual cases, p.e. is for one’s benefit. Blocking the ball?

So many room, so many halls . . . the first week of high school isn't easy. There is a lot of adjusting to be done. In high school everyone fends for themselves as freshmen soon learn. Here is one freshman's story of that learning experience: On the first day of school, I went to the wrong classroom and sat there about 15 minutes while thinking 'what a small class because only two other people were there. Finally a teacher. Mr. Morgan, came to the room and without too much embarrassment led me to the right class. I managed to make it to the right classes until 5th period when I ended up in Mr. W I backer's metals class instead of English with Mrs. Adams. After the week of being lost came another obstacle called Welcome Week, and what an obstacle it was. It was a rather scary week. I didn’t think my senior would find me as I crept behind lockers and hid in the cafeteria, but she did. That day I had to carry a doll around school. The next few days consisted of things such as: dressing up in weird clothes, doing embarrassing things, and going to Kangaroo Court where some of the freshmen had to wear paper bags on their heads. One would never think that so few days could cause such tear and panic as Welcom Week did. With the closing of Kangaroo Court the feeling of torment and humiliation ended and without losing any members of the freshmen class!

Talk about going bananas! The week before Spring Vacation has always been a week of wild and crazy happenings. The only difference this year was the student council monopolized on this and designated a Go Bananas Week. It kept the kids busy with lots of fun activities and possibly kept a few of them out of trouble! Rhonda Goddard replied to this philosophy, If you can't beat'em, join'em! The first day of the week (which unfortu- nately started on Monday) was St. Patrick's Day, and keeping with the spirit, most everyone wore green. Of course, there were those who didn’t wear green with the hopes of getting pinched! Tuesday was Rainbow-Clash day and the students really got wild. Bright colors and mis- matched patterns and plaids got so bad, some teachers went home to check their bifocals to see if they still worked! Wednesday was the all American Grape Ape Day. Mazama seemed almost to turn into Brixner when so much of the jr. high beloved and overused purple was worn. Thursday was Surfs Up Day and the only problem with it was the weather. The Hawaiian shirts and other apparell looked out of place on the typically Klamath Falls dreary day.

Go Bananas Day! Al- most everyone got involved in actions if not in clothes. Those who dressed up generally looked like rotten lemons. But, as we all know, it was the thought that counted! The annual Slave Auction was also held on Friday. Cheerleaders, student council members, athletes and some teachers were auctioned off for a day in order to raise money for Easter Seals. This year $118 was made. The slaves were expected to do their masters bidding on the First Monday back from school as long as they didn’t miss class time and the acts weren’t too degrading. After the auction, our very own version of the Junior Olympics was held. Various members who volunteered from each class competed in this event. There were four different areas of competition. The First was the Marshmallow Eat in which a marshmallow was tied to a string. Participants were then expected to put the string in their mouth and eat the marshmallow by slurping the string up. Next was the Toilet Pa- per Roll where volunteers had to pass a toilet paper roll over their shoulders and under their legs without tearing the paper. In the infamous Orange Pass volunteers formed a line and passed the orange in a relay — the catch was using their necks instead of their hands. Last but not least was the Lifesaver Pass. Another relay was formed, only this time you had to pass lifesavers using toothpicks held by your teeth. Too Close for Comfort are Brett Dodson and Rachel Taylor as they compete in the Lifesaver Pass.

Most of the stories are greatly exaggerat- ed though some seniors tend to be a little more rough with their freshmen than others. Overall the freshmen seem to have a very high and favorable opinion of seniors. Cindy Rider: Most of the guys are babes. Randy Maxwell. Most of the girls are nice. Shane Evans: Seniors are cool people and they really treat us frosh really good and they really help school spirit during sport events. Lynctte Minch: Seniors arc O K. except when they pick on you but I haven't had that problem. Joey Carrol: Most of the seniors are cool but a few of them still think it’s welcome week all year but most of them are cool about not acting like they're better than everyone else because they're seniors. Lorenzo Holmes: I think most of the seniors are nice they show you around and help you out a lot I think some of them are cool. Troy Westlake: Seniors are good sports, cool people and help give this school the great name that all of Klamath County knows us for. Sheri Bates: I don't know any very well; the ones I do know seem to be nice enough. Lisa Mullendore: All of the seniors I know are nice, except a couple of them. Seniors aren't any different from anyone else. Habit or Addiction? Bzzzzz. It's 10:00 AM, time for break. Everyone races to the lounge or the cafeteria to grab something to eat. For those who go to the lounge, most likely they will devour either a bag of Lays Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips. Doritos, or a Twix (with a choice of peanut butter or caramel) — one of the variety of foods displayed in our vending machines. Usually accompanying the salty or sugary nourishments were one of the various soft drinks available in the Pepsi machines. Junk food seems to be the only thing that a lot of people eat. On some individuals you can see every little Chee-to and Funyun they have ever swallowed. As for others, they could consume 6 million Ding Dongs, Fruit Pies, and Fritos and they could still hide behind a stop sign. Once, when the machines w'ere taken out for repairs, you would have thought that the junk food junkies would never see another bag of Tostitos again in their entire life! The school was abuzz by first period about the missing machines. Voices were quieted, though, when the lost apparatuses were returned the next day after repairs. So you can see. junk food appears to be a major part of a teenager's diet. Crunching on a pretzel seems to be a popular pastime ... or is it an obsession?? Modeling che latest styles in crutches are Fric Kruse and Mike Stanisich. These two were sidelined for part of the 1986 soccer season due to injuries. Dominating his opponent Bobby Hunter is credited with a take-down. Wrestling is a sport which requires strength, stamia, and strategy. Reaching new heights Paul Pcstinger intercepts the ball. Both individual skills and teamwork prevailed in this year's excep- tional season. Shooting for the basket Kami Kiser soars over two Fagle Point players. Kami participated in three varsity sports during the 1985-1986 school year. 62-We’ve Got Determination ■ Sports Football 64 Soccer 68 Volleyball 72 Cross Country 76 Powderpuff 78 Basketball 80 Wrestling 90 Baseball 92 Softball 95 Tennis 98 Track 100 Golf 103 Raising his arms in victory after the Mazama triumph over K.U. in basketball is Brett Jennings.

Football has never been one of Ma- zama's better points, but this year the team started moving in the right di- rection. The year started off as usual with the Vikings falling to Henley, Crater, and Grants Pass. But, every- thing turned around when Mazama hosted the Klamath Union Pelicans at Modoc Field. In a dramatic game, the Vikings slaughtered the Pelicans twenty to seven. The crowd at the game went wild, for not only did the win break a long losing streak, but also was the First time in history that Mazama emerged as the victor of the Canal Bowl. Although Mr. Everitt’s team con- tinued to struggle through the season, it was getting stronger all the time. On Homecoming night, against the Eagle Point Eagles, Mazama was victorious for the second time during the season. This victory was the First Mazama has ever had on Homecoming night, and it made the festivities even merrier. Because of their hard work and de- termination, eight Mazama players were named to the Southern Oregon Conference Honorable Mention Team. Included in these eight were Five Seniors: Mark Richardson, Glen Franke, Don Shallcross, Orville Mor- ris, and Doug Mauch. The remaining three were Juniors Eric DeWitt, Gary Cooper, and Paul Pestinger. All in all, this football season was one of new beginnings. Most of the players seem to agree that this year built a good foundation for future seasons. CoMFOF THE� MAZAMA VIKINGS jj .

JV Soccer GUYS GET THEIR KICKS In the three years since soccer be- came an official part of Southern Or- egon Conference athletics, Mazama has developed a reputation for strength in this sport. Mazama's varsi- ty team has boasted a winning record in each of its three seasons. This year’s soccer team compiled a league record of 4-2-2 and an overall record of 7-3- 3. The Vikings' record qualified them for district playoffs. Unfortunately, however, they were eliminated from contention for a state playoff berth as they lost to Ashland at the district level. Despite ending the season on a downward note, the Vikings had much to be proud of. They defeated the Skyline league champions, the Henley Hornets, twice during the 1983 season. This was a major accomplish- ment due to the fact that the Hornets went undefeated in their league. Ma- zama was the only team to be at them prior to the state playoffs. Coach Bob Reel commented on this year’s team. This was an ex- tremely young team. Fight freshmen and five sophomores lettered. Despite being so young we only lost to two teams. Those teams. K.U. and Ash- land. were the SOC state playoff teams. The youth of the 1985 Viking soc- cer team bodes well for the future of soccer at Mazama. In fact, the Viks' leading scorer was sophomore Brad Bradish. Bradish was credited with eleven goals and five assists. Senior Eric Kruse came on to help the Vi- kings with five goals and eleven as- sists. The junior varsity soccer team fin- ished the season with a winning record of 5-4 behind the coaching of Mr. Manuel Garcia. If the youth of the varsity team and the winning records of both the J.V. and varsity teams are any indication, the future of soccer at Mazama looks very promising indeed.

JV Soccer-69 GIRLS GET IN SHAPE The 1985 Varsity Girls Soccer sea- son proved to be a challenging one. Coached by Pat Moran, the team sported a 0-5-1 record for the season. In its second year, the team is still young, with only two seniors. Julie Forester and Leah Boivin, and one junior who started. Most of the girls on the team went out for soccer not knowing much about the sport. They have spent the last two years learning the game and building each girl's own personal strengths. Coach Pat Moran said that the team is, a fantastic bunch of girls that really want to learn the game. Yet. they also face the drawback of the small number of girls soccer teams in the Southern Oregon Conference. Therefore, the team plays Pleasant Hill once, and both Ashland and Klamath Union three times each. One player felt that the negative feelings that have existed between Mazama and K.U. get in the way of each team's efforts. Honors for this year’s team went to: Julie Forester, most valuable player; Trade Santos, most inspirational play- er; Laura Gorman, most improved player; and Leah Boivin. who received the coache’s award. Though the team is just getting started, the hard work the girls have put forward holds the promise of an exiting future for girls soccer at Ma- zama. As we improve our offense and teamwork our team could be state material. — Laura Gorman MOST VALUABLE PLAYER Name: Julie Forester Grade: Senior Position: Center fullback Julie has been playing soccer for two years, and was team captain.

You know that you have at least 2Vi hours of hard practice ahead of you, but if you are a dedicated volleyball player like the 1985 Mazama varsity volley- ball team was, you are looking forward to the hard work, the sweat, and the chal- lenge of practice. Even though practice is exhausting, you know the rewards are great. For example, you will be making lifelong friends and developing valuable skills. Most importantly you learn how to give your all for the team — win or lose. This was exactly what the varsity volley- ball team did in 1985. All of the team members worked to improve their skills and to be able to perform as a team. By the end of the season the team had improved in both areas. According to coach Pat Ward, the team improved the most in playing as a team and executing their hit- ting skills. The team had many excellent players. Setters like April Boyer and Melissa Stuck were constantly striving for perfection. In charge of offensive strikes were powerful hitters like Sheila Ivins. Gia Clinton. Kitty Scott, and Kami Kiser. During the course of the season these four were key players at the net. Defensively the Lady Viks had Wendy Graham and Chris Buhrig. Even though the Lady Viks only won three matches they were able to go to three games in almost all of their matches. They also fought hard against the number one and two teams in the conference. None of the other teams in the S.O.C. ever expected an easy win against the Viks. At the end of the season team awards were distributed at a pizza party. Team captain was awarded to April Boyer who was responsible for making the team work together on the court.

JV, Freshman Volleyball-75 Junior Varsity It was a totally new and exciting season for Mazama’s junior varsity volleyball team; not only did the team have a new coach it had a new attitude Mr. Ed Hulcomb took over as coach of the Junior Varsity replacing Manule Sewell. He led the girls to the most successful season in the history of Vi- king JV volleyball, including a hard fought win over Klamath Union in the early part of the season. The lady viks also developed a new sense of Viking pride under Hulcomb, which included wearing their uniform tops to school for important home games. Everybody on the JV team was a real winner and a tough competitor be- cause it takes a very dedicated player to make a team successful. In fact the winner of the most valuable player award, Becky Hall, was so dedicated that she was an important member of the varsity team during the later part of the season. Other award winners were Leilani Parton as most inspira- tional player, Shawana Dyer as most improved player, Michelle Galloway as high scorer, and Dawn Gregory as Honorary Captain-net player. Freshmen For the Freshman team it was an exciting season because it was a whole new experience for many of the play- ers. High School volleyball is very dif- ferent than that of Junior High. Help- ing the freshman team adjust to the new rules was first-time coach and veteran player, Cindy Popp. Coach Popp better known at Mazama as Cin- dy Heaton was a member of the 1984 Varsity volleyball team at Mazama. As a matter of fact Coach Popp played Mazama Volleyball for the four years she attended Mazama. She made an excellent coach because she was al- ready familiar with the volleyball pro- gram at Mazama. Even though playing high school volleyball is a new exper- ience for the freshman they had an outstanding team Filled with a lot of promising talent. The players honored were Wendy Bursell, most valuable; Lisa Hoff and Kristy Patzke, most in- spirational; Stacy Boyd, most im- proved; Rachel Taylor, team captain.

VIKINGS ON THE R UN Though the 1985 Cross Country team was young, the runners im- proved their times throughout the season, and finished fifth in the Southern Oregon Conference. Cross Country is one of the lesser acclaimed sports at Mazama. In fact, one runner expressed disappointment in that Cross Country runners receive very little respect as athletes at Ma- zama. This is a sport of endurance, and a typical practice consists of run- ning approximately 25-35 miles a week- over terrain such as hard ce- ment, muddy ground or steep hills; and in the worst weather the Klamath Basin has to offer. It is a sport that requires individual stamina and team unity. Coach Larry Wagner said that in order to have a successful team one needs, The desire to work hard, and the enjoyment of running and the side by side pure competion.” The team travelled quite a bit to attend various meets. This meant a lot of bus trips which provided Dan Pier- att with the opportunity to do his Budhist priest imitation when stopped at a Dairy Queen restaurant. Unfortu- nately, the number of girls that went out for the team compared to the boys was a ratio of 5:14 this season. Hope- fully this will change in the future. Honors went to: Mike Barnett, most outstanding; Bruce Besson, most inspirational; Joe Hernandez, most improved; Toni Bolletio, most out- standing; and Barbara Usselman, most improved. Hopefully Cross Country will soon earn the respect, and runners the rec- ognition they deserve as a group of hard working athletes.

Maricka Losinski, and l.eah Bolvin to prepare for the game. Others wore jerseys and even football pants. 78-Powder Puff UNITED WAY REAPS BENEFITS Though the Powder Puff game is looked upon as a fun event, its pur- pose is to raise money for the United Way. This year the Powder Puff Game raised a sum of $1078. In addition Mazama sponsored a dance which raised another $300. This year the freshmen and sopho- mores combined with the juniors and seniors to make one team as did K.U. This was due to K.U. not having enough girls to form two teams. Three weeks before the game Ma- zama Powder Puffers began hourly practices every day Monday thru Fri- day to prepare for Klamath Union. Defense was coached by Ms. Houston and Mr. Bob Zumbo who has been involved in Powder Puff for several years now. Offense was coached by Mr. Morgan and Mrs. Lawrie. During practices the weather was fairly nice with the exception of a little rain pour. On October 21, Mazama met their cross town rival at Modoc Field in hopes for a close game. Things didn't quite turn out as planned. K.U. downed the Viks 22-0. Although the game turned out in the Pelican favor, the Viking girls had a lot of fun dur- ing the practices and during the game. Patty Me Andrews 91 (Freshmen) says, I thought it was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to next year.” Powder Puff is a tradition Mazama girls want to carry on because of the fact it's not just for fun — it’s for a good cause. Powder Puff was fun, but it would have been more fun if there would have been two teams so everyone could of played more. — Leah Boivin Front: Amy Bortz. Patty McAndrcws. Regina Dumont. Robin Thill.

Powder Puff-79 VIKINGS SHOOT TO WIN Although the Vikings weren't re- warded with many victories, the 1985- 86 boys varsity team was a group of dedicated and hard workers. Mr. Fast. Mazama’s head coach, has been with the Vikings for 7 years and has been the only head basketball coach Mazama has ever had. There were good points as well as bad points for the 1985-86 boys. Coach Fast comments, The bad points were a few games when we played well until the last few minutes of the game and then the opponent increased the mar- gin. The good points were that we had good kids who worked hard and never quit despite the circumstances and it Finally paid off with the defeat of K.U. Coach Fast also commented that this year's team was the best overall team he's had at Mazama as far as the work ethic was concerned. Another factor that contributes to Mazama basketball is the support of the Viking fans. The February 24, 1986 edition of The Her- ald and News stated the following. Despite their respective win-loss re- cords, Mazama continues to have bet- ter, or at least more, fan support than Klamath Union. Viking players honored were Rob Seater, Most Valuable; Brett Jennings, Most Inspirational; and Tyrone Holmes. Most Improved. Sophomore Rob Seater and junior Gary Cooper were both named honorable mention in the All-Conference selections. The future looks good for the Vi- king boys.

The main goal of coach Bill Palmer for this sea- son was to prepare the team for future varsity play. To achieve this goal ev- eryone on the team tried to improve their individual skills. The biggest im- provement was seen in Byron Parnell, who received the award of most im- proved for his hard work. According to Coach Palmer the biggest team im- provement came in the later part of the season. One of the areas the team didn't need improvement in was unity. The team knew each other's weaknesses and strengths and how to make these strengths pay off for the team. Players like Scott Neel (who scored 473 total points for the season) and Donald Spoon (who had a total of 87 assists) showed how strong this unity was. Other players like Bart Worrell, Ty Hilliker, Tyrone Holmes, Bruce Bee- son, Brian Bryson, Greg Wheat, Jason Rowland contributed to the team. One thing the team did was work hard at getting the ball inside the key and finding the open man. By the end of the season this skill was one of the best qualities the team had. Even though the team didn't succeed in winning as many games as they want- ed to, they did improve and always worked hard. As coach Palmer says, The guys on the team were super guys to work with. The J.V. boy's basketball team players were winners in the true sense of the word. Sophomore It was an experience gaining season for the boy’s sophomore basketball team. The team was coached by Gary Kowal, a former graduate of Mazama. Even though the team only won two games, they finished the season strong by losing their last game by only one point. The last game was against K.U. and was a thriller as most-valuable player Bill Bridges scored his highest total points for a game.

It allows players to gain valuable exper- ience which will be useful to them when they reach the varsity level. Each year numerous freshman boys turn out for basketball making it possible to have two frosh teams, the A team and the B team. This year's A team had an extremely successful season, compiling a record of 17 wins and 7 losses. Don Zupan, who was previously the varsity girls basketball coach, coached the A team; which included his son, Kelly. Coach Zupan cited speed, quickness, and of- fense as the team’s strengths but indi- cated that defense was a weakness. This is probably accounted for the many high-scoring games. According to Zupan, highlights of the season included, Working with a good group of young men and coach- ing my son. The freshman A team had much to be proud of in its 1985-86 season. The members of this team are sure to be an asset to future MHS basketball teams. The frosh B team gave players a chance to develop their basketball Freshmen B” skills. This team played only seven games before most of its members moved up to play on the A team. The B team, coached by Bruce Herbig, finished its shortened season with a record of 6-1. Coach Herbig cited the Lake-view game as the highlight of the season. In this game. Mazama defeated Lakeview in overtime by a score of 38-37. The B team allowed a large number of freshman boys to participate in the Mazama basketball program, giving them vital experience for the future. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL: FRONT: Lorenzo Holmes.

Standout juniors Sheila Ivins, April Boyer, and Kami Kiser will all be returning as will sophomore Leah McGuire. These four girls, along with sen- ior Michelle Jackson, supplied most of the scoring and rebounding for the Viks. Ivins was selected as Second Team All League, and Kiser received All League Honorable Mention. In addition, Boyer and Ivins shared the honor of being chosen the team's Most Valuable Players. In his first year of coaching at Mazama, Paul Poctsch led the Viks to a league record of 5-11 and an overall mark of 7- 14. Mazama provided some though com- petition for many SOC teams, and many of the team's losses were by margins of ten points or less. We were competitive in each ballgame. and that will definitely help us be successful next season,” Coach Poctsch commented. Coach Poctsch previously coached bas- ketball for one year at the college level and three years at the high school level. Poctsch asserted. I enjoy coaching be- cause one has the opportunity to get to know the players on a personal level. He plans to coach girls basketball at MHS again next year. When asked to cite what was outstand - ing about the team. Coach Poctsch replied, The players played together as a team, being enthusiastic and positive towards each other all season. Poctsch also pre- dicted, I feel we will be a very competi- tive team next year. We have all our top players back along with a J.V. team that was outstanding.

I had a team of fantastic girls both in personality and basket- ball skills. They were real fun, but also hard workers.” Mr. Poetsch was the Varsity coach and also helped Miss Whisler. Coach Poetsch was great to work with, he has a lot of basketball knowledge and is very willing to share it. He also added a very unique sense of humor to my first year of coaching! Miss Whisler commented she would love to coach again if Mr. Poetsch is will- ing to let her. This years special award went to Becky Hall as Most Improved on the Junior Varsity team. Joining the Coaching staff was Mr. Holcomb taking the freshmen girls basketball team. Mr. Holcomb has coached basketball at a B school level, in both Junior High and High school. This year’s record wasn’t quite what the Viking girls had hoped for. With a record of 4 wins and 12 losses, Mr. Holcomb says there is still definite talent coming up for Varsity Basket ball. It is up to each individual girl' determination this summer to furtht develop their skills. They need to pla more rat ball, watch other games, an. get in the gym other times beside regular scheduled practices. They ar hard workers, they want to please, an. they listen better than boys. Being male, coaching girls made locke room etiquette also very difficult. Special honors were awarded t these athletes: Angela Lopez, Mos Valuable, Most Inspirational, am High Point Scorer; Yvonne McGin nis. Most Dedicated; Michelle Ed wards, Most Improved. OPPONENT M.H.S.

Winning his match is freshman Brent Bafus. Freshmen were a vital part of the Mazama wrestling program. 90-Wrestling ORIGIN OF CHAMPIONS Two years ago it was questionable whether wrestling would remain a part of Mazama athletics or be eliminated entirely. After much debate it was de- cided that wrestling at MHS would continue, and in the last two seasons, the program has achieved quite a bit of success. Last year four Mazama wrestlers went to state. One of these indivi- duals, Todd Cox, placed sixth at the state level. This year's wrestling team, not to be outdone, also placed one member, senior Rick Bursell, in sixth place at the state competition. Bursell placed third in the SOC and therefore advanced to state. There he was victorious in his first three match- es in the championship bracket. How- ever, he was defeated in the semifinals and dropped to the consolation level. Bursell was the first Viking wrestler to advance to the semifinals at the state tournament. Another standout for the Viks was senior Bobby Hunter. Hunter went undefeated for eleven straight match- es. He compiled a season record of 25 wins and only 3 losses. Coach Nick Oosterman sees a strong possibility for continued suc- cess in the wrestling program since few of the team's members will be lost to graduation. We had a young team, and nearly everyone should be back. Probably the reason I like wrestling is that it’s an individ- ual sport. If you lose, there’s no excuse. If you win, you get the recognition. — Bobby Hunter WRKSTLING: FRONT: Chris Lounsbury, Eric Chase, Rick Bray, Larry Pridemore, Chris Willis, Craig Holverson, Greg George. Shawn Atkinson.

The team played well together and worked hard to improve. Although overall the team had a league win — loss record of 7-9. they still made it to the district play- offs. For a while hopes of making it to the playoffs looked dim. But, with their sweep against Eagle Point, they were back in the running. Mazama swept a double against Grants Pass. MOST VALUABLE PLAYER NAME: Mike Novosad GRADE: Senior POSITION: Second Base Mike has been playing baseball since he was seven years old. He finished his high school career with an outstanding season and was selected for the All-Con- ference First Team. However, the Vikings then lost two important games against Medford. The team needed at least a split to be in sole position of fifth place in the SOC and a berth in the District 6AAA playoffs. Without the wins, Mazama was left to flip a coin with Hidden Valley, the other team in Fifth place. The Mustangs called for heads, and lucky for Mazama, the coin came up tails. Because of the call Mazama, de- spite being picked seventh. Finished Fifth and was to return to Medford for the First series in the playoffs. Unfor- tunately, Mazama's district play ended with Medford winning the game. Although the Vikings had a roller coaster season, the team pulled to- gether to try to lengthen their season. Assistant Coach Rick Anderson pre- dicted that the 1987 team should be able to be very competitive in the conference. He said there will be good players returning and young potential players coming up from the junior varsity team.

The Vikings swept the Cavemen in a double-header. Making it safely to third base is Senior Troy Ferguson. Troy was a great asset to our team and school. Varsity Baseball-93 IN THE BATTER '5 BOX Baseball — the great American pastime, a signal that spring has arrived, and a vital part of MHS athletics. The 1986 junior varsity baseball team, under the able di- rection of Coach Mike Morgan and Mr. John Mathis, compiled a winning record of 16-14. Morgan has coached the team since Ma- nama became a high school and likes coaching because, It is en- joyable to work with young peo- pie.' Overall, the J.V. team was quite talented. Bill Bridges was voted as the most inspirational player, and Eddie Valdez was voted as the most improved player. Pitchers Chris Howard and Brian Bryson were also recognized as was catch- er Gregg Wheat. In their last doubleheader of the season, the players faced Medford and managed to record two firsts” in Mazama J.V. baseball history. Not only did they sweep the Black Tornado, but they did so behind pitcher Chris Howard's no-hitter. In regard to next year’s team Coach Morgan predicted, A fine group of young people to work with which will put us on the win- ning side. Aiming for the clouds is Todd Schlumbum. Todd was an important part of this years team. OPPONENT M.H.S. OPP.

The junior varsity softball team is an important part of this foundation. In his first year of coaching at MHS. Mr. Bill Palmer led the 1986 J.V. team to an overall record of 11-9 and a league mark of 8-7. Coach Palmer cited defense and hitting as the team's strengths. The team boasted a great deal of talent, and three girls stood out particu- larly in Coach Palmer’s mind. Kris Jakeway was chosen as the team s most valuable player. Palmer de- scribed her as a good hitter, good defensive player, very smart and a lot of hustle on the bases — good leader. Amy Bender and Cris Pen- ninger were also mentioned by Coach Palmer as good all-around players. For next year Coach Palmer pre- dicted The team could clean up the league. And, in regard to the 1986 team? I think those kids were winners. Many times we were down 3 or 4 runs, and the kids battled back to take the lead and win the game. I will remember those kids as winners. Making contact with the ball, Candie Arana goes for distance. Candie played shortstop and third base for the junior varsity team. Watching it fly Michelle Galloway gets a good hit. This year's team worked well together and gave each other a lot of support. Junior Varsity Softball: Front: Cindy Asmakis.

Not only did the team have six members making all - conference but it also made it to the SOC district playoffs. Making it to the playoffs in fourth place was a spectac- ular achievement for a team that was picked to eighth in the league. Perhaps the most remarkable achievement of the season was the four to three victo- ry over (then tied for first place) Medford. This key win allowed Ma- nama to go to the district playoffs and knocked Medford out of first place. This was the only time in the 5-year history of SOC softball that Medford didn't claim first place. One of the reasons the team was able to capture fourth place was the talented individuals that were part of the team. Players like April Boyer and Nancy Patrick who made first team all-conference, and Chris Burhig, Becky Hall, Nicole Arana, and Pam McClure who made second team all - conference and honorable mention. All contributed to the success of the team. Another reason the team was so successful is the way the team worked together. Everybody from the starters to the bench warmers gave a 100% for the team. Even when the team was behind players like Nancy Patrick who received the most inspirational award were cheering the team on. Then there Sticking together April Boyer and Lara Pound show how important teamwork is. These two always worked together on the field and off. were players like Chris Burhig who received most valuable player award and Becky Hall, an outstanding center fielder, who received most improved award. Nicole Arana who pitched the spectacular game against Medford re- ceived the coaches' award. It was an exciting year for Mazama Vikings softball. The playoff game against Crater was the anti-climax of a tremendous season. Mazama lost to Crater two to seven, but ended the season with 15 wins and only eight losses. After the win over first place Medford Mazama showed the whole SOC what true winners the team was.

Christi also participates in vol- leyball and basketball. I think the most important thing on a team is to ha%e a winning attitude and learn how to become a better ath- lete ITS A RACKET Winning was not in the cards for the 1986 tennis season, but many indi- viduals succeeded in matches and per- fected their own games. Mazama came out on top of only two oppo- nents Ashland and Grants Pass, but the spirit and effort of the entire team never failed. Possibly the most exciting match of the season was against Medford in Medford. Cheryl Byrum and Leah Worrell both won in singles, and the teams of Byrum, Annette Fleming and Twyla Morris. Laurie Kifer dominated their opponents in the doubles play. The score was 4-4 with one match left, however, Medford flourished and took the match 5-4. Taking in awards for their efforts this year were, Kathy Rommerdahl, Most valuable; Cheryl Byrum, most inspirational; and sharing the most improved award was Peggy Noble and Laurie Kifer. Although the team wasn't victori- ous this season, twelve to fourteen players are expected to return for ac- tion next year. Byrum and teammate Tammy Olson will see their fourth year while Fleming, Rommerdahl, Stemple, and Morris will each play for the third year. With this many return- ing members, including seven who will be on their second year, the squad should be quite strong for the 1987 season.

The wins were few, but the performances of both the individuals and the entire team were exceptional. There was a considerable turnout this season, with most participants being younger. This means that these ath- letes have one to three years left in which to improve in their event. Even with youn- ger members, Mazama was indeed a force to reckon with. Stated Mr. Larry Wagner, head coach, For the youngness of the team they have competed well. Though injuries and illness claimed a few, Mazama track remained strong. At the end of the season, there were 63 mem- bers still competing. Perhaps a fitting ex- ample of the teams' strength is the two consecutive wins at the seasons end, over Eagle Point and Grants Pass, by the boys Varsity team. The girls didn't pull off any wins, but participants in all areas gave their best effort. Pat Sandercock most definitely de- served the Most Valuable” honor that was bestowed on him. as did Sheila Ivins. Sandercock's leadership, dedication, and astounding speed put him in a class with the best in the state. Ivins competed con- sistently and enthusiastically throughout the season. At the district meet, powerful perfor- mances were given by all. Earning trips to State were the 400 meter relay team of Rob Cox, Chris Hodge, Manny Garcia, and Sandercock; and the 1600 meter relay team of Garcia, Gary Welch, Rich McNeilly, and Sandercock.

Mrs. Mitchell, one of two new teachers, took over the responsibility of our newspaper. Ms. Taylor and her drama classes started what may become a new tradition with the Safe Halloween costume party and carnival for kids. A possible wish list for the communications department includes smaller classes and added courses in public speaking, debate, creative writing, and vocabulary. Also, since this is the only depart- ment which sees the entire student body in one day (English classes are required for all four years) they are relied upon for distributing school materials and pictures — a time-consuming task. Trips to Ashland to visit the theater have be- come a somewhat regular event. In May Mrs. Lentz and Mrs. Dehlinger chaperoned 43 students over the hill to see the play Broadway.” Also pulling extra duty was Mrs. Webb-Bowen overseeing the ever-growing group Students Against Driving Drunk. Mrs. Petersen helps a unique group entitles A.P. English in which students prepare for and take an exam for college English credit.

MATH The 1985-86 school year introduced a major change in the field of mathematics at Mazama. Entering freshmen are now required to successfully complete two years of math, as oppossed to one. The requirement was designed to comply with the new state law. In all probability, this will result in higher enrollment in math courses in the coming years. Fortunately, the number of teachers in the math department was slightly increased last year in an effort to reduce class sizes. Course offerings in the MHS math department included: general math, pre-algebra, practical study, algebra, and applications of algebra. More advanced courses were: geometry, advanced alge- bra, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and intro- duction to college mathematics. Another facet of the math department was the are of computers. Mazama offered several computer courses, varying in difficulty. Special projects were abundant this year. Per- haps the most notable was the math team. Last year the team participated in six meets of the Southern Oregon Math League. To be a member of the team, a student had to be enrolled in a math class at least as high as advanced algebra. The six mem- bers plus an alternate attended each meeting. Mike Reynolds, head of the math department, was the team's advisor. Another special event in the mathematics area was the 1986 regional math contest sponsored by OIT. Students from around the Klamath Basin competed in categories ranging from pre-algebra to the advanced Open Division. There are many possible reasons for choosing education as a career. Susan Walker expressed one of these, Not for the money but the gold pot of seeing students grow in their learning of math- ematics.” It was also Mrs. Walker who, when asked to give her favorite math formula replied, M’A'Z, the math ematical expression for Mazama!” Working math problems is one of Ms. Whislers specialties. Ms. Whisler spent a lot of time assisting students such as Arcilla Parnell. Correcting papers outdoors is a nice change. Mrs. Walker was able to do some of her work outside when weather permit • ted. Lecturing may seem boring, but it's a necessity in a math class. This podium helped Mr. Morgan to instruct his class. Helping students sometimes takes extra time. Mr. Lamb gave more time to students such as Cindy Rider and Cindy Uglum throughout the year. What do you think is the greatest discovery and why?

Six teachers belonged to this department. They were Mike Kern, Gerald Green, Gary Nichols, Bryon Van Fleet, Larry Wagner and Pat Ward. There were nine different courses offered. These included General Science, Introduction to Physical Science, Biology. Zoology, Chemistry, Advanced Chemis- try, Physics, Advanced Physics, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. The science department was responsible for var- ious special projects. The anatomy students, under the guidance of Mr. Van Fleet and accompanied by the anatomy students from K.U., went on their annual Field trip to SOSC in Ashland. The college students gave them a tour of the campus. The high school students viewed reptiles, hearts, and fetuses. They also had the opportunity to listen to a college level anatomy lecture. Other science projects which occurred during the year included the dissection of cats by the anatomy students and the dissection of fetal pigs by Mr. Nichols' zoology class. In addition to being teachers, several of the science instructors participated in other activities. Larry Wagner was the cross country coach as well as the honor society advisor, Pat Ward was the varsity volleyball coach, and Bryon Van Fleet and his wife were very involved in making pottery. When questioned about his feelings concerning the 1985-86 school year. Mr. Wagner, who is head of the department, cited the victory of the MHS football team over K.U. as a high point. Wagner also commented on his positive attitude toward both the Mazama Vikings and MHS principal Mike Pisan. Talking to his student . Mike Kern expands their knowledge in science. Mr. Kern taught general science. Looking eye to eye, Mr. Nichols and his turtle spend a quiet moment together. Mr. Nichols taught biology, zoology, and general science. Preparing for his next magic trick is Mr. Wagner. Track was another specialty of Mr. Wagner. Getting ready to eat their octopus is Ted Martin, Naomi Simon. Matt Preston. Mr. Ward. Jason Rhinevault, and Seth Miller. The students got hands on experience with echinoderms. Science -11 SOCIAL STUDIES When one thinks of social studies, things that come to mind are maps, studying foreign countries, and taking a lot of notes. That’s exactly what goes on in Mazama's social studies department. When a student enters Mazama as a freshman, he gets to look forward to three years of social studies classes including global studies, U.S. histo- ry, citizenship, and economics. Students who re- ceive an A in global studies as well as in U.S. history become eligible to take Advanced Place- ment history their senior year. By successfully completing this class and passing the A.P. test, which is administered in May, students receive college credit as well as the opportunity to increase their knowledge of history. Due to the fact that all students are required to take three years of social studies, the social studies teachers would like to add one staff member to their department to help handle the large number of students. Mr. Todd, department head, com- mented, Because classes are so big, the rooms are too crowded and it is hard to teach to bigger classes and to help individuals. The department teachers would also like to have some extra space so they could do some special projects in their classes. Besides keeping busy educating students, the social studies teachers were involved in other ac- tivities. Mr. Anderson coached both wrestling and varsity baseball, Mr. Everitt was the varsity football and track coach, Mr. McDaniel coached varsity basketball, and Mr. Palmer coached J.V. football, basketball, and softball. Meeting and discussing department business is Mr. Everitt and Mr. Palmer. Mr. Palmer completed his first year as part of the Ma ama staff. Smiling innocently as he types a test is Mr. Everitt. In addition to teaching Mr. Everitt coached football. Writing on the blackboard. Mr. Anderson illustrates a point to his students. Mr. Anderson taught a special class for seniors called Contemporary Family Life. Looking around the classroom, Mr. McDaniel watches his students take a Citizenship test: Are you cheating.' 112-Social Studies Smiling with his double is Mr. Todd in the Anthropology class. Mr. Todd also taught Economics and acted as head of the Social Studies department Lecturing his class on presidents Mr. Lent points out the importance of the Presidential elections.

Helping out with baseball and football, Mr. Mathis was a great help to both sports. Keeping in shape, Ms. Veitch leads the freshman girls in aerobics. Aerobics was one of the more popular classes in P.E. this year. Sitting patiently while getting his blood pressure checked is Mr. Zupan. Teaching photography was also one of Mr. Zupan's classes this year. Illustrating a point is Ms. Houston. Starting an aerobics dance program kept Ms. Houston busy this year. Regular exercise and a balanced diet are a key to a healthy person, according to school nurse Cindy Palmer. Mrs. Palmer has been a school nurse for two years and enjoys working with the teenage population. I like learning more about teenagers and trying to give them healthful knowledge that’s needed in building a healthful and dynamic soci- ety.” Mr. Oosterman is another healthful person who teaches boys P.E. 'I try to teach my students how to live a healthier life and it seems to be working because the students are becoming more con- cerned about their own health and well being. Mr. Zupan says he not only encourages students that good health is important, but also encourages other teachers, too. Mr. Zupan says students care more about health than believed. The forces in- fluencing poor health arc tough to deal with. I believe, however, that most young people care more about their health than we may think. There are other members of this robust depart- ment who equally believe in sound nutrition. Ms. Houston started an aerobic dance program this year and also helped in track. Mr. Mathis took on baseball and football duties along with his weight training. Last but not least, is Ms. Darcee Veitch who started our freshman girls off right in P.E. All of the health and P.E. teachers are a credit to helping us learn healthful lifestyles and positive self images. 114-Health And P.E. Checking a student's blood pressure is Mrs Palmer Helping students to get a better knowledge of their health was part of Mrs. Palmer's job. Showing off his unique basketball skills is Mr Oostcr- man.

Jane Demetrakos I always wanted to teach. 116-Business What profession did you first want to be in? Cathie Bunnell 1 wanted to be and was a secretary. BUSINESS niques in typing II and IV and teaches the basics in keeping track of records for personal use. Mrs. Demetrakos says she enjoys teaching Typing IV the most. It must be true; after all, she has been teaching for 15 years. Anyone who can keep cool after teaching for 23 years has got to have a lot of patience. Mr. Monte Dehlinger has been doing just this. He teaches Typing I and II, marketing, and personal finance. What's more is that he enjoys them all. When asked what he thought about teaching he replied with a smile, Becoming bald wasn't natu- ral. Do ir or die! Mr. Dehlinger used interesting techniques this year on students like Shon O’Donnell. Smile, accounting isn’t so hard. Mrs. Bunnell didn’t let all the questions bother her. A lot of students have benefitted from taking business classes, stated Mrs. Bunnell. Business classes help prepare students for jobs they may encounter with a high school diploma. Basic train- ing in secretarial, computer use, and management positions are taught in these classes. The classes also provide a firm base for more intensive study if a student decides to pursue a college degree in a business or secretarial field. Mrs. Cathie Bunnell, who had been teaching for 11 years, instructs accounting, word and data pro- cessing, and clerical office practice. She is also Mazama's Future Business Leaders of America ad- visor. This position requires a lot of extra time on Mrs. Bunnell's part, as she chaperones the members to local, district, and state competitions. Knowledge in typing and recordkeeping can be very useful after graduation. Mrs. Jane Demetrakos helps students develop and improve their tech- FOREIGN LANGUAGE Round those vowels! Mrs. Bailey showed her students how to pronounce their words with French accents. ' This school has a nice atmosphere,” says Ms. Monika Fisher, Spanish teacher. Ms. Fisher is Ma- zama's newest addition to the Foreign Language department. This was her first year teaching. Mr. Fisher was born and raised in Germany, then moved to the United States. With all the languages she speaks it makes teaching a bit more complicat- ed. After all, she is fluent in German, Spanish, and English. Mrs. Donna Stern-Bredahl, who has spent a fair amount of time in Europe trying to improve her language ability,” has been teaching for eight years. This year she teaches German I-IV. As for her students Mrs. Stern-Bredahl says, I really en- joy the students I teach, they’re terrific.” Teaching a foreign language is much easier if you have had experience in needing to speak it. Mrs. Kris Bailey, who teaches French classes I-IV, has had such experiences. Some years ago, Mrs. Bailey studies in Macon, France, during the sum- mer. Just rerecently she toured Paris, Ambiose, Orange, the Mediterranean, and traveled from the French to the Swiss Alps. These teachers instruct their students in more than grammar. Each year the foreign language in- structors take as many students as possible on a trip to the University of Oregon in Eugene. They and their students attend special classes and activities in the hopes of expanding their knowledge of the language they are taking. What high school class did you dis- like most?

They also are a nice break from the typical math, science, and English classes. Industrial Arts classes range from engine requiring to picture drawing. One such class is woods. Over the years this has been a class dominated by male students. Mr. Holcomb, who teaches woods 1-4, says, Girls always seem to do well in woodworking, but there are too few. We need more girls to sign-up for Industrial Arts.” Mr. Holcomb not only teaches wood-working, but also uses his skill as a means of summer financial support. Mr. Bailey, the small engines and automotive teacher says, Our society carries an apathetic atti- tude towards education, which carries over to a majority of students.” He feels that if Siudents participated more in activities, their quality of learning would increase. Home economic classes can prepare students for life’s everyday necessities, food, and clothing. Teaching students to be prepared for a future which includes cooking and sewing was Miss Brown. It was, however, her last year at Mazama. Of the school and its students she said, It's been an excellent first teaching experience. Other classes in Industrial Arts included: Metals and Amateur Radio taught by Mr. Teeples; Woods, Mechanical Drawing, and Electricity by Mr. Welz- backer, plus basic and advanced art, courtesy of Mr. Bastianelli who believes, Snooze and you lose!” Looking into things. Mr Bailey gave his students hands-on training in small engines class. A final touch. John Bastianelli’s creative hands help students to show their art abilities. Gathering up supplies for daily cooking labs is Nancy Bro� Nancy helped prepare required amounts for cooking class. MUSIC Tuning up! Mr. Johnson made sure that he. as well as his students, were prepared for instruction. Music is a part of everyday life. No day would be complete without listening to a song of some sort. At Mazama four special people help carry out the music tradition to all students willing to take part in choir, orchestra, or band. Being thrown out of the Vienna Operahouse for exploring the no visitors area was one music experience choir teacher Mrs. Juanita Eitenier will never forget. Mrs. Eitenier spent a lot of time with choir, and when asked what she does in her spare time she said, What spare time? Other courses in music study was: Orchestra instructed by Dwayne Johnson; concert band lead by Ken White; and jazz, symphonic, marching, and pep bands headed by Charles Moresi. These teach- ers devote a large amount of time to their students. Their time was well spent, as it was visible in the students' performances. Through music classes you gain a disci- pline that you can’t get anywhere else.” —-Juania Eltenien Who is your favorite music artist?

Jerry Fitzpatrick I think the major change has been our new principal. The school is more orga - nized and beneficial to students. Larry Lund Mr. Pisan is the major change this year, and I think he's doing a whale of a job! What do you feel has been the major change this year and how do you feel about it? Leroy Christophersen The major change is getting a new principal, and 1 feel great about it because he's doing the best job any principal has ever done. Mike Pisan I wasn't here before but I believe we're a gener- ally happy high school. Discussing school policies are Superintendent Dr. Earl Fer- guson and Principal Mr. Mike Pisan. These two men played a vital role in the operation of our school. Manning the door at home basketball games is Mr. Jerry Fitzpatrick. Mr. Fitzpatrick was in charge of discipline at Ma- zama. Attempting to master a difficult partner stunt are Trisha Glick and Tammy Olson. Mrs. DcWitt was advisor to this group. 120-Administration Administration-121 — ADMINISTRATION Taking a quick break to pose for the camera is Mrs. Robbie Porter. Mrs. Porter was very busy planning the senior activities. Kicking hack for a quiet minute on the phone is Mr Paul PoetSCh. Mr Poetsch was responsible for all )uniors and a portion of the freshmen. Without Administration, what would our school be? The administrative staff works hard to keep our school running smoothly. Leading the way is our new principal, Mr. Mike Pisan. Mr. Pisan loves his job even though it is very time consuming. He enjoys attending all the school activities and sharing in the students' successes. Mr. Larry Lund, our assistant spends most of his time helping Mr. Pisan with duties such as observing classes and evaluating teachers. Head of the guid- ance department, Mr. Jerry Fitzpatrick, also has a very busy job. He is in charge of discipline and attendance, and also helps to develop the master schedule. Establishing policies for our school district are Superintendent Earl Ferguson and Assistant Super- intendent Jerry Killingsworth. These two very busy men help in getting budgets passed and having positive communication between schools and the community. Paul Poetsch Talking with Tiffany Stanfill is counselor Leroy Christopher- scn. Mr. Christophersen helped many just by being a friend. Breaking away from his paperwork to smile for the camera is Athletic Director Ron Conner. Organizing all school activities was the job of Mr. Conner. Robbie Porter The major change is more positive commu- nications between stu- dents. staff, and the community. The three counselors we have here at Mazama seem never to Finish their work. There is always more and more to do. Mrs. Robbie Porter, senior counselor, is in charge of handing out scholarships and organizing all graduation activities. Mr. Paul Poetsch and Mr. Leroy Christophersen are each in charge of one class plus a section of the freshmen, along with having many more various responsibil- ities. Mr. Ron Conner, athletic director, and Mrs. Winnie DeWitt, librarian, are also vital members of the administrative staff. Mr. Conner plans and at- tends all athletic events, student activities, and school fund raisers. Mrs. DeWitt orders and orga- nizes library materials while taking on the extra task of being rally advisor. You can see that without these very important and busy people, Mazama would not be as orga- nized and pleasant to attend. Thanks Administra- tion! The majority of the staff and student body arc much more positive this year and 1 think it's great! What is your favorite part of your job?

Going through all the paper work is easier with a smile. Mrs. Hamblin always made sure the paper work was done. . . . ASSISTANTS What is your favorite part of your job? Secretaries and aides are the backbone of any organization, and Mazama is no exception. These people not only enhance our academic programs but also allow their operation. The duties of a secretary are endless. Running off countless copies, answering insistent phones, and keeping a record of budgeted monies are just a few items from the list. However, under this work- load the atmosphere is kept pleasant. I really like my job and the people I work with,” said Mrs. Hamblin, the principal's secretary. It is important to me to be friendly and accomodating. A favorite part of the job for some was working with the Mazama staff, working with clubs, and seeing indi- vidual growth from students as they went through their high school growth from students as they went through their high school years. Mazama's seven aides do a wide variety of jobs. Mrs. Woodwick tutors small groups of students in basic English skills while Mrs. Lissante files and works on the computer in the library. She also helps students to find the books they need. Mrs. Woodwick stated her reason for becoming an aide, I’ve always wanted to teach and I like watching the progress my students make. To become an aide one needs a high school diploma and the ability to relate to people, especially teenagers. The most rewarding aspect of my job is watching the progress my students make, not only academically, but emotionally.” Hats off to the special people of Mazama, the aides and secretaries who, while not in the lime- light, are standouts in their own right. Relaxing during a few moments peace. Mrs. Wetmorc had few opportune times to sit down and relax Standing in front of her finished product.

Verna Gachard Quiche Jean Gibbs Pizza Roberta Hayes Spaghetti Terry Kinderknecht Junk Food Karen Makinson Popcorn Lois Myers Pizza COOKS — As they passed through the cafeteria line Ma- zama students were always confronted with the cheery faces and helping hands of the cooks. This special group of people devoted a great deal of time and effort to preparing quality food. Approxi- mately 250-300 students were served lunch in the cafeteria each day. The food consisted of hot lunches as well as snack foods. The hot lunches were designed to be nutritious. Therefore they contained foods from four basic food groups. From the snack bar, stu- dents could purchase such foods as sandwiches, doughnuts, cookies, fruits, and granola bars. Also, one could choose a hamburger and french fries or a chef salad instead of the regular hot lunch. Avail- able beverages are milk, fruit juices, and milk- shakes. Obviously, the cooks had to work hard to fur- nish such a wide variety of food to the student body. Yet, despite the high quality of the food and the quantity of time spent preparing it, eating in the cafeteria is very economical. The cooks deserve warm recognition for their service to Mazama High School. Cooking up another nutritious meal is Verna Gathard and Roberta Hayes. They prepared lunches everyday. No job is ever complete until the paperwork is done. Lois Myers tried to planned menu of various kind. Are these the fries? Jean Gibbs cooked a lot of french fries this year at Mazama High School. CUSTODIANS Throughout the schol year Mazama students frequently heard an insistent voice come over the intercom and request the services of a custodian. The custodial staff at Mazama High School was constantly occupied in its efforts to keep the school looking clean and well cared for. Such tasks as sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and cleaning bathrooms, were the responsibilities of the custo- dians. The job of a custodian doesn't end when the students are released for summer vacation. Instead, they spend the summer caring for the campus by mowing lawns and running the sprinkler systems. They also wax the gym floor and paint doors and walls. In reality, a custodian's job is never done! Mazama's students and faculty are proud of the appearance of the school building and the sur- rounding landscape, and they have the custodians to thank for this pride. Push that broom! Shirley Cummings works hard to make sure the floors were always clean. What have we here? Delbert Arant takes stock of what's in the custodian s cabinet They work hard for their money.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS Mazama's 1986-87 student council consisted of representa- tives from all fifth period classes, all class officers, and all ASB offi- cers. The fifth period reps were elect- ed at the beginning of the first semester. Another election was held at the beginning of second semester to elect new (or re-elect previous! delegates from fifth pe- riod. No matter who filled the po- sition, the job was always the same: Report to fifth period on what took place at the meetings. Student council usually met once a month in order to discuss new and old business and to come up with some fresh ideas and sug- gestions for improving our school. They made many decisions regard- ing Homecoming, and helped with charities such as Red Cross and Faster Seals. Showing a little- authority in a student council meeting is co-president Rhonda Goddard Rhonda was an editor for the I. ncc and a major organizer of the Safe Rides Program. Discussing school issues (or are they') are Nathan Kruse. Lara Pound. Dirk DeGroot. and Brett Dodson.

Three very accurate and truthful ways to describe Mazama's 1985- 86 Student Body Officers. This year these nine special people showed all of us what good plan- ning, an open mind, and a never- say-die attitude can do. ASB officers met every day dur- ing seventh period to discuss Ma- zama issues and share ideas about fund-raising, school activities, and community projects. When it came time for student council meetings, they were in charge. The meetings were quick and smooth thanks to careful coordination of the ASB executives. The officers attended many leadership conferences including the Oregon Association of Student Councils (OASC) fall conference in Eugene, and the OASC spring conference in Portland. Participat- ing in these, and various others, our representatives picked up ideas for pep assemblies, fund raisers, and getting everyone involved in school endeavors. Thanks to their overwhelming dedication and readiness to lead the way, Mazama ASB officers have proved that they've got what it takes. Taking yet another note is student coun- cil advisor Mr Leroy Christophersen. Mr Christophersen gave guidance to the stu- dent council and helped with the many ac- tivities that the group sponsored Associate Student body Officers lor 198S-H6: Shon O'Donnell, secretary; Lori Henderson, to-president; Kandy Dobson, vice-president; Stephanie Long. business manager; Khonda Goddard, co-president; Sheila Ivins, second vice-president; Lance Hoff, viking mascot.

JUNIOR INFLUENCE The junior year of high school is a very busy and active time. Lead- ing the way for juniors were Ra- shell Carvahlo and Shannon Bros- terhous, co-presidents. Bart Wor- rell. vice-president, Janel Jolliff, treasurer, and Jason Tuffs, spirit manager. These people planned and su- pervised the decorating of the win - ning hall for homecoming and spent a lot of time and devotion on making the 1986 junior-senior prom, Cherish the Moments,” a success. With individuals as organized and dedicated as these, the Class of 1987 was a great asset to Mazama High School. FRESHMAN CHARISMA Coming into a new school isn't always easy, but having outgoing leaders like Donald Spoon, presi- dent, Marti Veatch, vice-president, Wanda Webber, secretary, and Brett Dodson, treasurer, makes the change a little smoother. The freshman class was fortu- nate enough to be able to put on the dance after the Mazama-K.U. football game which brought in a lot of money. A jewelry sale was held later in the year to raise mon- ey. The freshmen made it through Welcome Week and Kangaroo Court proving that even when the chips are down, the Class of 1989 doesn’t give up, and for the next three years will continue to reach for their goals. 1985-86 junior class officers: Bart Worrell, vice-president; Rashcll Carvalho, co- president; Jason Tuffs, spirit manager; Shannon Brosterhous, co-president; and Janel Jolliff. treasurer.

Janel, along with many other Mazama juniors, were contestants in the 1986Junior Miss Pageant. 128-Class Officers SENIOR SUPREMACY The senior class officers of 1985-86 indeed proved worthy of that cherished title “senior. Eric Kruse and Jack Heaton, co-presi- dents, Marieka Losinski, vice- president, Greg Wunder, treasurer, and Denise Koepke, secretary, all did an outstanding job in setting examples and promoting not only class spirit, but the spirit of the entire student body. In the first half of the year, these officers were busy planning the Winter Formal. With that done, the organizing of graduation ac- tivities began. Twelve years of schooling have come to an end, but these and all the members of the senior class have a chance of again promoting spirit . . . this time in life. Senior class officers for 1965-86: Jack Heaton, co-president, Denise Koepke. secretary; Eric Kruse, co-president; Marieka Losinski, vice-president, and Greg Wunder, treasurer.

SPIRIT MAKERS If you enjoy screaming and yelling, freezing through the cold winter in a fourteen-inch skirt, then you would have something in common with Ma- zama's varsity football rally. The squad consisted of 12 girls. It all begins in June when practice starts to get ready to go to camp, where chants and per- formance cheers are mastered. Camp was a lot of hard work, but it paid off in our performance during both foot- ball and basketball seasons, said var- sity rally member Megan Collier. Ma- xima came home from camp with a superior trophy and four blue ribbons. After camp preparation begins for football season. Chants are practiced over and over until they arc perfect. The highlight of the season for the rally was cheering at the K.U.-Mazama game. It was one of the greatest times I had during the season. said Debbie Jacky. Through all the hard work, re- sponsibility and dedication the rally had a successful and fun season. VARSITY FOOTBALL RALLY FRONT: Melissa Florez, Leah Worrell. Toni Gardner. Billie Jo Buehler.

For the sec- ond year in a row Mazama rally won the Jefferson Square Competi- tion. I loved performing at the Jefferson Square Competition, and I was proud and excited to win two years in a row,” said varsity rally member Jenny Chambers. Helping the rally look explosive was the help of four boys: Troy Ferguson, Rob Cox, Dan Pieratt, and Lance Hoff. With partner stunts, flips, and high mounts the rally promot- ed lots of school spirit. ' I enjoyed this year on rally, especially picking up Megan,” says Troy Ferguson. Megan and Troy did some fantas- tic partner stunts. The rally agreed that they had a great year together promoting school spirit and they all became close friends. Demonstrating their partner stunts is the boys varsity squad. This team did more than just scream and clap their hands. Enjoying themselves at a game arc Megan Collier, Sally Alexander, and Nicole Arana. This year's squad worked well together and always had a good time. Varsity Boys’ Rally-131 CHEERS! Consisting of three juniors and three sophomores, the girl's varsity rally promoted lots of spirit for the girls' basketball team. The rally did something special during the sea- son called 'Secret Sisters , each girl on the rally had two girl bas- ketball players and they sent them a little something each week for good luck. Some of the things they sent were: candy, flowers, stuffed animals, cards, and balloons. The rally had a lot of fun doing it, and the basketball team enjoyed their little gifts. The girls also worked hard on signs for the gym, dance routines, and cheers. Being on girls varsity lets them gain experience for future years for top rally posi- tions.

SOMETHING NEW The selection and composition of the 1985-86 junior varsity rally dif- fered from the past years. Rather than select the squad in the spring when the varsity squad was chosen, it was decided to hold separate tryouts just prior to basketball season. These tryouts were open to freshmen, soph- omores. and juniors. Eventually, a squad of eight girls was selected to support the J.V. basketball team. This rally consisted of three juniors, one sophomore, and four freshmen. In previous years a separate freshman squad was chosen, but a squad which combined upper classmen with un- derclassmen worked out extremely well. The J.V. rally was led by two ex- perienced juniors, Tammy Olson and Dana Overstreet. Olson acted as the squad s captain. Although the other six girls were newcomers to cheer- leading, they improved rapidly and impressed Mazama students, faculty, and fans with their skill and enthusi- asm. The junior varsity cheerleaders were a valuable and impressive part of the MHS rally program, and the members of this talented group are almost certain to be a vital part of future Mazama squads. JUNIOR VARSITY RALLY: FRONT: Vicki Westlake MIDDLE: Sandy Gentry. Kristy Patzke, Kristin Shimek, Tammy Olson. Lisa Hoff. TOP: Trisha Glick, Dana Overstreet. Telling their team they want two more points is Lisa Hoff and Kristy Patzke. Lisa and Kristy being freshmen cheered both J.V. and freshmen basketball. The 1985-86 flag team showed excellence and determination in the process to entertain Mazama sports fans. The group started the 1985-86 school year with five members that worked all summer at car washes, bake sales, and garage sales as well as other fund raisers. They worked hard to raise the $700.00 plus that was required to attend the USA flag camp in Santa Cruz, California. This was the second time that any Mazama flag team pursued attend- ing a camp. After returning from the four- day camp, the five members showed that they had learned praise and appearance tips, as well as complex skills and routines. By football season the small group entertained the crowd in a big way with flashy, top-of-rhe line rou- tines. The five member team was cut to three during the season, even so, the quality performances con- tinued throughout the football season and parades. Over-all the team was a success through the good and hard times. Junior Varsity Rally, Flag Team-133 ----------J FLAGS FLY HIGH FLAG TEAM: Tammy Vincent. Yvonne Ouellette. Tracy Santos.

But Mazama's group worked harder than ever, providing that it's quality, not nec- essarily quantity that counts. Mazama FBLA finished first at the OIT Business Skills Competi- tion in February, making it the eighth year in a row. At District Competition in Bend, 16 members of the 17 placed in the top six of their catagories, which made them eligible for the April State Compe- tition in Portland. It's clubs like FBLA that offered students a refreshing change from heavy coursework. They're fun and help students to expand their skills, which they might not have had the chance to do otherwise.

This group of 14 students can be summed up in one word - dedi- cated. Through the requirements of dedication and discipline, the year- book class helped students expand skills they might not have other- wise been able to increase. At the same time, they completed a book of memories for everyone to enjoy for years to come.

Famed trumpeter and band leader May- nard Ferguson came to town on April 6. He and his band worked with the Mazama Varsity Jazz band before performing in an evening concert at Mills. Both JV and Varsity bands practiced early in the morning (7:15-8:05) with some evening re- hearsals also. Admittance into the elite groups was by audition only. In April the Varsity Jazz Band won the Eagle Point Jazz Festival for their category and was awarded Outstanding Ensemble plaques. They were also invited to perform in the evening concert with the Mt. Hood Jazz Lab Band. This year s winner of the presti- gious Louis Armstrong Jazz award was Jack Heaton for outstanding participation as a jazz band mem- ber.

The characteristics of a march- ing band student are dedication, talent, coordination, and depend- ability. The marching band prac- ticed as much as many recognized sports to put together artistic shows. Their talents were enjoyed at the Tulelake and Merrill parades and also at the Snowflake Festival. Besides parades, the band marched at all home varsity footbaH games. Jack Heaton led the group as drum major. Jack commented. The duty of the drum major is to help the marchers to get in step and to keep the beat of the music. Also the drum major is the first helper to the director. As we give recognition to our sports athletes, let's keep in mind the other activities that contribute to our outstanding school. At your next football game, thank a band member for the performance which helps to lead us in school spirit. MARCHING BAND MEMBERS FRONT: Dan Lunsford. Tiffany Stanfill, Kristin Shimck. Jenny Payne.

Next year both bands will move into their new band room, which will provide more privacy and a better performing atmosphere. 140-Concert Band TAKING IT ALL Symphonic band had one of its most successful musical seasons as its members won many awards and honors. Starting off the year three mem- bers, Jack Heaton, Rob Nitschelm, and Jerry Corder, participated in all-state band. In March these 3, along with Paul Sandoval, qualified for state at the solo ensemble con- test in Ashland. Jack was also hon- ored by McDonald s for being no- minated as a possible member of the McDonald's All American High School Band. At the OSU band contest held in April the band really showed its stuff by placing fourth in their di- vision. Ken Leppert and Jack Hea- ton received two of only six out- standing musician awards. The saxophone quartet of Denise Keopke,Jack Heaton. Derek Har- vey, and Rob Nitschelm also com- peted and won first place as they went up against other small en- sembles from Oregon and Wash- ington. Band director Charles Moresi had this to say of the year., This was an outstanding year for sym- phonic band. 4 Holding the John Phillip Sousa award and the Louis Armstrong Jazz award is Jack Heaton with Mr. Moresi. Jack was a valuable asset to the band program. Displaying their first-place trophy is the saxophone quartet of Derek Harvey. Denise Koepke. Jack Heaton, and Rob Nitschelm. PLAYING IT UP Twenty-one pep band stu- dents went through rain, snow, and storms to come and play for the basketball games. They really helped the school to keep their spirit up, and also helped the team to get going when the going got tough. Many rally routines were put to live music thanks to the band. What would a basketball game be without the fight song? Entertaining the basketball crowd is Mike Stanisich.

As Mrs. Eitenier says, Concert Choir is open to any student who wants to sing.” With this year's group boasting 44 members, it's obvious that a lot of people want- ed to sing. The group performed in Maza- ma's fall and spring concerts, plus participated in a special Mazama- Klamath Union concert at Mills Auditorium, where they sang songs from the movie musicals; The Wiz and The Wizard of Oz. Choir students Theresa Arnold and Regina Dumont had a special opportunity to attend the SOME A Solo and Ensemble Contest held in Ashland. This group has grown musically this year to become a fine ensemble. It is important to them to sing well, and they worked hard to achieve that goal. Concert Choir members were front.

Introducing the performers is Mrs. Ei- tcnicr. She was the back-bone of ail Ma- zama choirs. Sixty-two students made up this year's Mazama AC Choir. In order to be in this elite group, the stu- dents had to audition for Mrs. Ei- tenier, their director. The singers performed mostly serious literature which ranged from renaissance through contem- porary time periods. They partici- pated in many singing activities, including the Mazama KU Choral Concert. SOME A Choral Festival, and the International Music Festi- val in San Francisco. In order to attend the special out of town concerts, the singers had to earn their way through various fund raisers. Many money-maker activities were held throughout the year. The AC Choir group worked very hard to accomplish what they set out to do. The music they per- formed was very challenging. Mrs. Eitenier says they met their chal- lenges with 3-D Excellence — Dedication, Determination, and Discipline; Becoming the best choir Mazama has seen. All that Jazz is a choir made up of students who auditioned for their membership and were willing to attend an early-bird class. They performed in several places throughout Oregon including Portland, Pleasant flill, and Eagle Point. They also performed as a special international festival in San Francisco where an untimely bus failure caused hours of delay. The best was made of the situation as the group toured the wharf with Mr. Fitzpatrick in tow. In order to cover the expenses for their out- of-town trips, the group held nu- merous fund raisers. All members were also in Ad- vanced Choir. Mrs. Juanita Eitenier (director) said, They have all demonstrated that talent, hard work, and the spirit of cooperation makes for an outstanding jazz en- semble.

SKI CL UB From beginner to advanced the ski club pro- vides a needed service to all skiers. If you like to ski or want to learn but can't get a ride, join the ski club. The ski club only provides a way to get to the slopes, you plan your day and pay your way. The ski club took many trips this year, mostly to Bachelor because of its variety of slopes for skiers of all ages and skills, said advi- sor Ms. Houston. All members of the ski club paid a certain amount of dues to help pay for transportation costs. Once they arrived they were basically on their own. They could go downhill, cross country, or take lessons. Even the most inexperienced ski- ers had fun on their trips. SKI CLUB: FRONT-Jed Beck. Daniel Fults, Dane Phifer, Michelle Dudek. Luke Johnson.

Throughout these sixteen pages we’ve attempted to recapture the biggest news stories of 1985-86. On these pages arc the biggest stories on the international, national, state and school scenes. There arc also stories on the best in sports, music, movies, and fads. One page is a special close-up of the people who were newsmakers of '85 and ‘86. 1985 1986 marked the return of Hal- ley's Comet. The comet that reappeares every 76 years, was last seen in 1910, and won’t be seen again until the year 2061. Other big news stories included the ousting of Filipino dictator, Ferdi- nand Marcos, and his successor, Cora- zon Aquino; the Challenger space shuttle explosion; and the Mt. Hood tragedy. Sports events such as the Su- per Bowl, music galas like Live Aid, movies including Back to the Future, the latest fads such as Miami Vice, and people including 'The Fridge are all covered in this news section. All of these stones and more com- bined to make the year 1985 - 1986 memorable.

Nineteen Eighty-Five—Eighty-Six The Year In Review-161 International News Corazon Aquino (above) and Ferdinand Marcos (right). Corazon Aquino In December, 1985, Corazon Aquino stepped forward to run for the presidency to the Philippines against entrenched dictator Ferdi- nand E. Marcos. Cory Aquino was not an unknown. She was the widow of Benigno (Ninoy) Aquino, who attempted to attain the Filipino presi- dency, but was assassinated (most likely as act ordered by Marcos to assure himself of re-election.) The biggest threat to cohesion had been the rival candidacy of Prime Minister Salvador Laurel. Laurel then announced that he was willing to run as Corazon's vice president. Yet, it was the extraordinary support of the people that swept her into the presi- dency and Marcos into exile. Nuns counted ballot votes by candlelight and recorded the times and dates when Marcos' men carted away bal- lot boxes. Computer workers walked off their jobs at government election centers, and used their expertise to make tv screen go black across the country as Marcos tried to take the unearned presidential oath of office. Meanwhile Aquino took her oath still in doubt of her victory. Church leaders were also instrumental in ral- lying support for Aquino and in get- ting masses of people into the streets to protect military headquarters and military men who had turned against Marcos. Finally, on February 25. Marcos surrendered the power he had held for 20 years. The most immediate challenges of Corazon Aquino were keeping the political ambitions of powerful mili- tary and civilian rivals in check, re- viving a shattered economy, curbing prcvelent corruption and thwarting a Communist revolt. She must also deal with her country's most threat- ening problems. These were a mili- tary run by cronies, and economic stagnation caused in large part by Marco's own policies. Ultimately Aquino will be judged by how she deals with these and how effectively she attacks them. Aquino is the kind of moderate, personally honest, democratic reformer who — given enough help — can turn things around in the Philippines. U.S. offi- cials feel that Aquino is a good bet on future stability. Libyan Air Strike Anger exploded, world wide, over South Africa's racial politics. The United States, avenging Lib- yan-backed terrorism, unleashed its biggest air strike since the Vietnam War on Monday, April 14, 1986. The U.S. bombed Libyan military bases, an oil port, and Moammar Khadafy's residence. The radio reported that at least three people were killed and more than 100 injured. One U.S. plane was reported miss- ing after the raid and later the report was changed to read that the crew was killed in action. France denied the U.S. attack force passage over French air space forcing the U.S. to lake a longer route from bases at Upper Hey ford and Lakeheath in Great Britain. Larry Spcakes' statement on the U.S. attack against Libya read as follows: Libya bears direct responsibility for the bombing in West Berlin on April 5 that resulted in the death of Army Ser- geant Kenneth Ford and injury to a number of American servicemen and others. In light of this reprehensible act of violence and clear evidence that Libya is planning future attacks, the United States has chosen to exert its right of self-defense. It is our hope this action will preempt and discourage Libyan attacks against innocent civil- ians in the future.'' The administration apparently acted without the full support of all its allies, although Speakes said, They under- stand our reasons, our motives for this, and there is general support for our activities in one form or another.” 162-International News Chernobyl Accident The Geneva summit, held on No- vember 19-20 between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, was a realistic discussion of nuclear-arms control — and may have possibly made some concrete progress. The four primary U.S. concerns were arms control, hu- man rights, bilateral relations, and re- gional conflicts. In the arms talks, the lack of guide- lines for negotiators could create a new deadlock at the outset over the major U.S.-Soviet dispute: Whether to link cutbacks in offensive missiles to the Kremlin's demand that President Rea- gan halt his Strategic Defense Initia- tive. known as Star Wars. Less predict- able, and potentially less manageable, arc U.S.-Soviet strains that could flare up in regional trouble spots. The Live Aid This year the music industry became a medium with a message. Singers donated their talents for records like We Arc The World. but this year the charitable contributions of music art- ists grew. The Live Aid concert which took place in July, was 16 hours of nonstop rock and raised $70.5 million to save lives in Africa. Then came Farm Aid. a 15-hour show to raise $10 mil- lion for farmers. Later Artists United Against Apartheid released an album and video. Sun City, to support South African activists. But, the fans funded the effort, buying tickets, T-shirts, and records, and rallying in pledges during spin-off videos. chances of a settlement are remote be- cause Moscow, like the U.S. in Viet- nam, is not willing to admit defeat. One boost to stability in U.S.-Soviet relations is the apparent decline in So- viet enthusiasm for investing resources and political prestige to support new wars of national liberation in the Third World. For U.S. business, poten- tial benefit is suggested by Gorba- chev's invitation to U.S. companies to participate in major Soviet projects. The good news from the summit according to Paul C. Warnke, who headed the U.S. SALT II negotiations, is that the two leaders plan to meet again. The bad news, he fears, is that they will not achieve much in those talks, either. The first warning came in Sweden. At 9 a.m. on Monday, April 28. techni- cians noticed disturbing signals blip- ping across their computer screens. Those signals revealed abnormally high levels of radiation, a sure sign of seri- ous trouble. When the Swedes and their neighbors, demanded an explana- tion from Moscow, concerning the high-levels of radiation that was being measured in the area, they were met by denials and stone silence. Finally, at 9 p.m. on Monday, an expressionless newscaster on Moscow television read a four-sentence statement from the Council of Ministers that seemed to raise at least as many questions as it answered. An accident has taken place at the Chernobyl power station, and one of the reactors was damaged. Measures are being taken to eliminate the consequences of the accident. Those affected by it are being given assistance. A government commission has been set up. This was by far the gravest crisis in the troubled 32-year history of com- mercial atomic power. A catastrophe had occurred over the weekend at the Chernobyl plant, 80 miles north of Kiev, where a reactor meltdown and explosion caused untold death and suffering and raised the prospect of long-term health and environmental damage on a far greater scale than any- thing yet unleashed by peaceful nuclear use. Radioactive gases and particles were spread over a vast section of the Soviet breadbasket in the Ukraine, and water supplies for the more than 6 million inhabitants of the Kiev area were threatened with contamination. Milk from local cows will probably be taint- ed for months to come. Although the Soviets politely rejected U.S. assis- tance, Moscow did invite Dr. Robert Gale, a UCLA bone-marrow-trans- plant specialist, to provide medical aid to Chernobyl victims. By week’s end. the administration’s anger at Moscow had grown. In his Saturday radio address, Reagan de- clared, The Soviets owe the world an explanation. A full accounting of what happened at Chernobyl and what is happening now is the least the world community has a right to expect. The Chernobyl disaster is inevitably renewing the debate over the safety of nuclear power plants far beyond Soviet borders. The disaster at the Chernobyl plant isn’t likely to resolve the world’s nuclear dilemma but there is hope that it will at least increase the momentum for international cooperation to deal with the hazards of nuclear power. International News-163 National News The Challenger America's innocent vision of space travel is gone. It went in a flash and a fiery ball at 11:39-13 a.m., on Jan. 28, 1966. In that instant, seven men and women who dared to break the bonds of Earth simply vanished, their passing marked by a 10-mile-high cloud that hung in the skies for hours. The flight itself was unique. Not only was it the 10th orbital mission ol the shuttle Challenger, but also it was the first flight to carry an ordinary” American into space. Christa McAu- liffc was to have broadcasted lessons from space to televisions across America. It has been said that Christa brought a different kind of lesson into our lives — one of how to deal with death. Many important shuttle projects, in fact all space flights, were can- celled until a special commission ap- pointed by the President could ana- lyze what went wrong with the Chal- lenger and what kind of reforms NASA needs to undergo. The com- mission released its reports in June and NASA has projected flights as early as June. 1987. Charles And Diana In November 1985 the Prince and Princess of Wales visited the United States for a 3-day visit. After weeks of feverish anticipation and frenzied publicity, the world's most glamor- ous and relentlessly observed couple arrived in the capital of what was once their kingdom's richest posses- sion. After Washington, they were set to jet down to Palm Beach, Fla., for a game of polo and a charity ball for the United World College of the American West. They also paid a call to a suburban JC Penney to give the royal seal of approval to the store's Best of Brittain merchandising campaign. East year oil and gasoline prices fell to a surprising low. These prices were welcomed by American citizens, but had damaging effects on various gas and oil companies. Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Astronauts: Ellison S. Onizuka.

AIDS Epidemic The grim statistics accumulating with the spread of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) has made it medicine's biggest mystery — and challenge — since the lethal virus was first recognized in 1981. Laboratories across the United States and Europe are searching for drugs to combat the AIDS virus. But meanwhile the virus is demonstrating features that can complicate drug treatment and that will have to be overcome if the U.S. Public Health Service is to meet its goal of control- ling and preventing AIDS by the year 2000. The name AIDS comes from the fact that the virus destroys the body’s immune system, the collection of tis- sues and cells, mostly in the blood, that attack invading microbes such as bacteria and viruses. Some people are born with a genetic defect in their immune system, but those infected with the AIDS virus the immune de- ficiency is said to be acquired. No one knows if AIDS will ever go away. If an effective vaccine can be made, it should be possible to slow or stop the spread of AIDS, though perhaps not eradicate it en- tirely. Until there is such a vaccine — or if one is never developed — AIDS could become a vastly greater scourge than it already is. 164-National News The Lady Producer David L. Wolper, who staged the extravagant opening and closing ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics, planned the star studded celebration of the Statue of Liberty's 100th birthday (July 4, 1986). At the ceremony the newly renovated Lady Liberty was unveiled. A 30-barge fireworks display and the simulta- neous swearing in of 25,000 new U.S. citizens were two of the highlights of the ceremony. Hands Across America On Sunday, May 25. 1986, the Hands Across America project (a monumentally ambitious plan to form a human chain from New York to California) took place. The pro- ject hoped to raise $50 million for the nation's homeless and hungry. It would have taken 55 million people to make a complete line along the looping, 4.152-mile route. Whether their contributions of at least $10 apiece and massive corporate assis- tance got the drive to its $50 million goal was not known. Ken Kragen. organizer of Hands Across America and its predecessor. We Are the World, said, It'll probably be three months or four before its all in. Information on local homeless and hunger organizations was passed out to people so that they could get involved. Organizers indicated that 60 percent of the profits would be donated to establish groups and 40 percent would be used to examine the causes of poverty. The line began in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty at New York's Battery Park. It meandered through 16 states and the District of Colum- bia, where it ran across the north portico of the White House and end- ed at the Queen Mary’s dock in Long Beach, California. In between was a cross section of American civilization reflecting the democratic as well as the bizarre. In Battery Park, a priest held the hand of a youth sporting a punk haircut. At the California-Arizona border. Senator Alan Cranston held hands with actress Bo Derek. In Maryland, more than 550 boaters lashed their crafts together and 100 scuba divers held hands underwater to keep the chain intact across the Susquihanna River. Even marriages took place as cou- ples got married in the line in Balti • more. New York. Phoenix, Ham- mond. Indiana, and in Memphis. The caplet replaced the Tylenol capsule. Tylenol Capsule Poisonings After the death of a 23-year-old woman who had taken cyanide-laced Tylenol. Johnson Johnson pulled Tylenol capsules off the market, stopped production of its other cap- sule products, and announced that from now on it would sell its non- prescription products only in pill form. The decision cost Johnson Johnson as much as $150 million to recall its capsules and scrap their pro- duction. To make up for its loss, the com- pany began promoting Tylenol in the form of caplets, which are the smooth, elongated tablets that John- son Johnson began producing in 1983, after seven people in the Chica- go area were poisoned by tainted Ty- lenol capsules. After that incident J J spent $50 million to recall 31 mil- lion bottles of Tylenol capsules. When it reintroduced the product two months later, it was in a more costly, triple-sealed package J J's sudden decision prompted the pharmaceutical industry to re-ex- amine its wide spread use of over- the-counter capsules, which now in- clude dozens of preparations ranging from Contac Decongestant to Dexa- trim diet formula. As J J's night- mare began to subside, another com- pany's may have begun. Consumers in several states reported finding bits of broken glass in Gerber baby food and fruit juice. National News-165 State News Capital: Biggest City: State Flower: State Animal: State Bird: State Tree: State Nickname: Salem Portland Oregon Grape Beaver Western Meadow Lark Douglas Fir Beaver State Rajneeshies Leave To the utter dismay of most Or- egonians. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his 5.000 followers have practi- cally vanished from Oregon. Only a few remain to liquidate the vast es- tate and $35 million in debts. It all began in the fall of '85 when Ma Anand Sheela fled Rajneesh- puram after the Bhagwan accused her of attempted murder and imbezzle- ment. In October. Rajneesh and several aides left the commune in two Icar jets after he was indicted in Oregon for violating immigration laws. He was arrested in Charlotte. North Carolina, and sent back to Oregon. He then pleaded guilty to two of 35 counts in the indictment. Paid $400.000 in fines and was ' allowed'' to return to his native India. Since then the Bhagwan has been globe- hopping in search of a country that will appreciate his utopia. 85 of the Bhagwan's 94 Rolls Royces have been purchased by Tex- as car dealer, Robert Roethlisbcrger. Mt. Hood Tragedy A springtime survival hike to the top of Mt. Hood turned into Or- egon's worst mountaineering disaster when a sudden storm engulfed a par- ty of student climbers in a freezing white out - a foggy, blizzard in which it is impossible to tell up from down. Nine people froze to death in the tragedy, and two people were left hospitalized with severe hypothermia after spending four days trapped in a soggy snow cave. The purpose of the hike was to give sophomore students at the Oregon Episcopal School an appreciation of nature and to teach them survival techniques. The hikers set out Monday. May 12, 1986 on a day-hike to the top of Mt. Hood. The party was hit by a freak snow storm with 60 mile an hour winds and blowing snow and fog. The wind chill factor was esti- mated to be 55 degrees below zero. They tried to retreat back down the mountain, but finally dug into a cave. The next morning the mountain guide and one student left for help. Early Wednesday the rescue effort began. Three students were found that morning, nearly lifeless, and were flown to Emanuel Hospital, but doctors were unable to save them. The others were found Thursday when searchers uncovered the cave. Brinton Clark, and her fellow class- mate. Giles Thompson, were still alive; the others who had frozen to death, were pronounced dead. Doctors succeeded in restoring the body temperatures of both Clark and Thompson, unfortunately, both of Thompson's legs had to be ampu - tated below the knee. It is not known whether the students will have any recollection of what happened to them and their hiking companions. It was the Vkh year students from the school had scaled the mountain. Mt. Hood is the second most popu- lar climbing mountain in the world, next to Mt. Fujiami. Some 10,000 people climb the mountain every year - fifty people have died in the last 80 years. The school still plans to con- tinue the Basecamp program, and a memorial fund has been set up to buy radios and emergency beepers to prevent another tragedy from occur- ing.

Runners Go To China On December 27, 1985 three Ma- zama athletes left for an exciting 10 day trek to Hong Kong. China. Mike Barnett, Jason Tuffs, and Bruce Bee- son were three of the 244 athletes selected from Oregon, Washington, and some Midwestern States to par- ticipate in the International Sports Exchange. The purpose of the pro- gram is for American youths to ex- perience the culture of another coun- try; The trip to and from Hong Kong was an experience in itself, with flights to Los Angeles. Anchorage. Alaska, and Seoul, Korea. By cross- ing the international date line they lost a day on the trip to Hong Kong, and gained a day on the trip back home. The official event of the trip was a three mile race on Thursday, January 2nd with more than MX) runners competing. Among other exciting events were shopping at the commu • nist friendship store, one of the few places they could shop in China; Shopping at Stanley Bay (an open market), a wild taxi ride back to the hotel, and eating squid and octopus tentacles of which Mike Barnett said, It was a little rubbery, but it was pretty good. Seeing hundreds of people living on junks (Chinese boats), seeing the Seoul Olympic Complex site of the 1988 Olympics, and taking two hours to go through customs in alphabetical order were among other interesting events. Though they all suffered from jet lag (especially Jason Tuffs, who got stuck in L.A. an extra day), it was a Once in a lifetime experience. As Jason Tuffs said, We were the first Mazama athletes to be invited to any thing like this and we feel privileged because of it. They also encourage any Mazama student who ever has a chance to do something like this, to do the most he or she can to make it happen. Hall Monitors A new addition at the beginning of the school year was the installation of hall monitors. At the beginning of the year Nathele Ristc and June Har- vey were hired, later Gerri Wetmore joined the staff. Eventually all three left and were replaced by Brenda Richards at the end of the year. The hall monitors were hired in order to allow teachers to have more time in preparation for their classes. In previous years the teachers roamed the halls at lunch and break to make sure students weren't getting into mischief. The hall monitors relieved them of that duty in order to do their job—teach. Yet, many students were, and still are, opposed to the idea of having hall monitors. Some feel it’s the dean's job. that its a waste of money to hire people to walk around the halls. Others feel that hall monitors are prison guards and that they treat students with behavior that re- sembles their second grade teachers. While many people have com- plained, hall monitoring became less strict through the year, and wasn't a great inconvienience to many stu- dents. Teachers were also very pleased with the noise-free halls dur- ing class periods. r i Mrs. Paulann Petersen. Mrs. Petersen The following article was edited from the article written by Layne Creason. that ap- peared in the May • , 1986 issue of the Herald and News. Next year's AP English students arc in for somewhat of a disappoint- ment. Mrs. Paulann Petersen, who has taught the course for seven years has decided to switch roles and spend a year as a student writer. Mrs. Petersen received the honor of being chosen for a Wallace Stegner Fellow- ship in Creative Writing at Stanford University. I never tried for anything like this before ... I thought my chances were between slim and none, said Petersen. The poetry she sent to Stanford was good enough to get her a Stegner Fellowship for the coming academic year. She's one of four promising writers from across the country awarded the prized fellow- ship. It was like a dream come true, said Petersen, of the award that will give her a year of freedom from her teaching duties to pursue her writing. This stretch of writing ahead of me is a real gift. It's a gift of time and opportunity to learn from excellent teachers. The fellowship will pay Petersen's tuition at Stanford plus an $8,000 sti- pend for living costs. She will attend graduate level courses in poetry taught by distinguished writers two days a week and spend the rest of the time writing.

School News-167 Superbowl Louisville Jim McMahon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar In December Sports Illustrated honored Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with their yearly honor. Sportsman of the Year. As of December 15, Kareem had made more field goals (13.930) scored more points, blocked more points, and won more MVP trophies (6) than anybody in NBA history. Last season he led the Lakers in scor- ing for the 10th time in his ten years with the club (22 points per game) and achieved the second highest shooting percentage (.599) of his ca- reer. All statistics aside, the most mi- raculous aspect of 7 2 Abdul-Jabbar is his age. The 38-year-old man is not only playing but dominating in perhaps the most physically demand- ing team sport, usually played by 20- year-olds. This was his 17th NBA winter (another record.) Kareem Abdul-Jabhar 168-Sports XX Superbowl XX was far from excit- ing or competitive as the Chicago Bears mauled the New England Pa- triots 46-10. Jim McMahon, sporting a new headband, not only led the Bears as quarterback but also as lead singer in their upbeat video. The Fridge. William Perry, showed his offensive talents as he decoyed a few times and also scored on a one-yard plunge. Right end Richard Dent, the game's MVP. led the Bear's stingy defense. Louisville defeated Duke to win the NCAA men's championship bas- ketball game in Dallas. The Cards upset the favored Blue Devils 72-69- Freshman Pervis Ellison dominated the championship game as no 18 year old had done before. Ellison scored 25 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and figured in just about every big play in Louisville's rousing win. Duke’s nu- cleus of 4 senior starters won 37 games during the year to set an NCAA standard. But it wasn't enough as the championship game alluded them. Pervis Ellison Pete Rose Pete Rose On September 11, 1985. 44-year- old Pete Rose strode across the plate at Cincinnatis Riverfront Stadium. With a swing of the bat he had beat Ty Cobb's record for Most Hits. Career.' His timing was perfect. Baseball fans had suffered through news stories of drug use by players, never-ending labor talks, and a min- istrtke. The accomplishments made by Rose and a few other achievers were great remedies. Rose's achieve- ment brought about a seven-minute standing ovation from close to 50.000 fans, and a Corvette from the owner of the Cincinnati Reds. Manure Bol And Spud Webb These two guys really stood out. Spud Webb (front) was the shortest player in the NBA at 5’7“. Spud was the winner of the NBA slam-dunk contest. Manutc Bol gained attention as the tallest player in the NBA at the height of 7’6 . Spinks This year Michael Spinks became the first light heavyweight ever to win the heavyweight crown. Spinks beat Larry Holmes who had been heavyweight champion for seven years. If Holmes had won the match he would have tied the late Rocky Marciano for having a total of 49 victories. But Spinks ruined Holmes' chances when he won the match in a unanimous 15-round decision. This was Spinks' 28th victory. The World Series After Kansas City's second loss in game 2 of the World Series. ABC statistician had this to say. ''No team since 1939 Yankees has won a world scries game when trailing by 2-runs going into the 9th inning. The scries then traveled to St. Louis where the Royals made history. The series was dubbed as The War Within the State as the two Missouri teams battled it out for the baseball championship. The Royals finally won the war. 4-3- It was the first championship in the 17-year his- tory of the franchise. The Royals be- came the first team ever to lose the first two games of a Series at home and win. and they were only the fifth team (the 1979 Pirates were the last) to trail in a Series three games to one and win. And their magnificent young pitchers had held the Cardi- nals. the National League's batting and scoring champions, to just 13 runs in seven games — a mere six runs in the five games played last and to the lowest average, an appalling .185. ever in a seven-game Scries. 21 -year-old pitcher Brett Sabcrha- gen was unanimously voted the Se- ries MVP and also became a father during the Series. On the other side of the controlled pitching of Kansas City was the Card's Andujar. After losing his cool in the 7th game, Andujar became the first player to be tossed out of the Series in 15 years. It was also the first time both a manager and a player had been ejected from a Scries game in 50 years.

K K S I) 0 N_A TRUE STORY. ROBERT MERYL REDFORD STREEP Out Of Africa Rocky IV And Rambo 172-Movies Rocky IV was one of the year’s most popular movies.

Out of Africa. The Color Purple Though it didn’t win any Oscars. The Color Purple was a big film of 1985-86. It is based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Alice Walker. Both the book and the movie were equally controversial. It is the story of Cclie. a black girl in Georgia at the turn of the century.

A STEVEN SPIELBERG FILM Ake WfelkeA Pulitzer Pnat Winning Story JANTZEN BEACH 748-6984 JANTZEN BEACH EASTGATE 248-6975 2025 SE 82nd THE FOX 248-6986 833 SW BOWY Movies -173 FADS A variety of tastes Though American's still eat hot- dogs and apple pie. a variety of new tastes have emerged. Pizza is still on top; in fact, it has become a staple of the American diet. Yogurt be- came fashionable. Not Yoplait, but the kind that tastes suspiciously close to ice cream and requires at least one or more toppings. Along with the switch from ice cream to yogurt came a smaller discovery - - that flavored sparkling water tastes almost the same as pop. Yet. Coke and Pepsi remained the popular fa- vorites. A new snack was also dis- covered. Small, fruit flavored gummy bears, gummy worms, and gummy feet, became popular. 174-Fads Coca-Cola Fitness Coca-Cola had a shaky year. Coke lovers were shocked when the com- pany introduced a new formula. T- shirts saying Coke was it could be seen everywhere and a National Head- quarters of Old Cola Drinkers was formed in protest of the new formula. The company decided that they might have made a mistake, so they re-intro- duced Classic Coke, and left new Coke on the market. One success was the introduction of Cherry Coke, which was readily accepted by the public. Fitness was not merely a fad or passing fancy this year, but a way of life. Health spas, aerobic classes and body building clubs sprang up every- where. For high school students there were a variety of choices. If p.e. didn't appeal to you. you could take either aerobics or weight training available at Mazama. If losing weight in front of your classmates was unappealing Jaz- zercize or Flex Fitness Center was al- ways available. All in all the fitness craze is great for our society. Perhaps being healthy and fit will be ingrained into our lifestyles. VCRs vs. the movies Mousse Hair styles arc leading indicators of changing tastes and fads. This year no certain hairstyle was it. Yet, no matter what style you wore one thing was required . . . Styling mousse or styling gel. Fivcn the guys began to style their hair with mousse. Once mousse was estab- lished a wide range of uses for it came about. You could either style your hair or tan. with tanning mousse. VCRs (video cassete recorders) were popular this year. There was a growing trend of movie-goers renting videos rather than going to theatres. Many homes had their own VCR. if not anyone could rent one from a video shop or retail store. Memberships to video shops were sold around the country. Why the big switch? Various reasons contributed to the popularity of VCRs. They arc cheaper to rent rather than going to a theatre, and a person can watch anything they want in the privacy of their own homes. Fads in fashions What people wear will always be important. This year there were several musts as far as attire was concerned. With the '60's revival paisley came back and everything from ties to socks to jackets were done in paisley. With the ever-last- ing fitness craze everyone needed at least one pair of Rceboks. Another must was a Swatch watch. The watches made telling time more fun because no one knew exactly what time it was since they have no numbers. Of course Levis were an old favorite — What would we do without our 501s? Fads-175 Faces Dr. Ruth A couple of years ago no one had heard of her before — today there isn’t anyone who hasn't heard of Dr. Ruth Westheimer. This 57-year-old woman boosted her reputation with her advice show Good Sex! The show was consistently the highest rated program on the Lifetime Cable network. She stayed busy by publish- ing a sex book for teens, conducting a call-in show on radio, acting in a French bedroom farce film, intro- ducing a board game strictly for folks over 21 and, in December, leading a tour group to India's sen- sual sites. : : ; : Michael J. Fox Michael J. Fox is one of this year's hottest young actors. The five-foot- four star of Family Ties was voted Most F.xciting New Star of 1985 by the National Organization of Theatre Owners. He has become the comedy star of the year starring in Back to the Future and Teen Wolf. He also ap- peared in Pepsi ads. His popularity boosted Family Ties’ ratings to an all-time high. Michael, who is dating Nancy McKcon of Facts of Life has plenty of work ahead of him. He is working on a new movie directed by Paul Shrader, then there's a sequel to Back to the Future, a comedy for Disney Studios, and two tv movies — Young Jimmy Cagney and The Kirk Crocker Story. Whoopie The Fridge” This year's newest comedienne, Whoopie Goldberg, had a big year. She starred on Broadway and then had her own HBO special. She gained a lot of attention by starring in The Color Purple. She was nomin- ated for an Oscar for her perfor- mance in the movie. Later in the year Whoopie made a guest appearance on the tv show Moonlighting. The year's biggest newsmaker was William Perry, better known as The Refrigerator. The Chicago Bear's defensive lineman who weighs a mere pounds became an over- night superstar. In October he be- came the heaviest man in NFL histo- ry to score a touchdown in a set play. Perry signed on with both McDon- alds and Coke to star in their tv com- mercials. Bill Cosby Bill Cosby was once again a suc- cess. With his hit sitcom The Cosby Show, he brought NBC. the highest ratings slot. Some were at First skep- tical of the show's promise for suc- cess due to the fact that the show's entire cast is black and the story line revolves around a black, upper-class family. But it seemed to be what everyone wanted as it became America's favorite tv show. Don Johnsor Tom Selleck stepped aside as Don Johnson became this year's heart- throb. Johnson plays Miami Vice's Sonny Crockett who has brought the stubbled look and Italian suits into style. Johnson's next work is doing the voice-over for a feisty U.S. Army sharpshooter in the animated release. G.I.

Traditionally the junior class organizes and finances the prom as a tribute to the graduating seniors. The most recent Ma- zama prom, entitled Cherish the Mo- ment”. was very successful. It was held in downtown Klamath Falls at the Winema Ballroom from 8:30 to midnight. The ballroom was decorated in shades of roy- al blue, hot pink, and silver, and a balloon arch formed the entrance to the dance floor. Music was provided by Cadillac Music Company of Portland. In addition to dancing, couples could relax and chat with friends at the available tables and chairs. Refreshments were available, and, of course, many people made use of the official photographer.

Prior to the night of the prom, the junior and senior classes voted to select a prom court. The court consisted of two junior couples and three senior couples.

Prom-179 MAKING A SPLASH Sunshine, a pool, and lots of food. These things combined to make the senior barbeque a fun-filled event. On Thursday, June 5th, the seniors gathered at the home of Erin Craig to enjoy a swim and barbeque. Yet, as they arrived they became unsuspecting victims to a group of bandits whose mission was to throw everyone there into the pool - at least once. Only six seniors were able to avoid being thrown into the pool. Eventually, the commotion subsided as the steaks began to be served. Along with steak there was plenty of food to choose from, such as baked potates, salad, rolls, dessert and a variety of drinks. After eating many headed back to the pool, either using the slide, doing flips or just lounging in the sun. The attire for the occasion was strictly casual, students wore either shorts or swim suits. Meanwhile Mr. Pisan and Mr. Fitzpatrick came wearing three- piece suits, perhaps as protection against an unwanted swim in the pool. The barbeque was a chance for seniors to relax during the hectic graduation week ac- tivities, and was enjoyed by all. Catching the crowd on Poloroid is class pho- tographer Penny Peckenpaugh. Penny was able to get everyone to smile with her amusing antics. Enjoying a dip in the water are Debbie Jacky, Steve Barger, and Ruth Paugstat. The question was. did they go in by choice, or have a little help? Laughing as yet another classmate is tossed into the pool arc Greg Barkcc, Tom Gardner, Mike Mollo, Rob Cox and Doug Mauch. Even this group of innocent looking guys was responsible for a few toss-ins. 180-Senior Barbeque Reigning over (he water for the day was Bruce Ross. He was joined in the fun by Rick Burscll. Shawn Sorensen, and Marieka Losinski. Recovering from a required swim in the pool is Baron Keefer. Baron was one of many people who enjoyed the huge amounts of food set out for the seniors to devour. Catching a few rays are Tina Maxwell. Michelle Pryor, and Suzanne Wells. The Craig yard was wall-to-wall bodies with people tanning themselves. Refreshing themselves with a nice cool drink are Brett Jennings and Shawn Sorensen. A large c x ler packed with a variety of pop was available throughout the day. 181 AWARDS ASSEMBLY Receiving an award from ihe Women of ihe Church of God and shaking hands with Mr. Pisan are Surannc Wells and larnnic Spcttcr These two both plan to attend Warner Pacific in the fall and continue their educations.

In order to prevent seniors from indulging in alcoholic celebrations on graduation night, the senior parents organized this special non-alcoholic event. The party was kicked off with a banquet, and, following dinner, seniors could partici- pate in a variety of activities. The most popular of these was gambling. Each senior was given a certain amount of money” with which to play casino games. Games included blackjack, roulette, craps, wheel of fortune, and poker. Teachers and senior parents acted as dealers. Movies were shown all night long, and ptx l tables were also available for use. There was an area for dancing, and Dan-no of the Morning Zoo' from KTMT acted as disc jockey for a por- tion of the night. Numerous prizes and cash awards were donated to be given away throughout the night. Drawings were held every half hour, and the drawing for the grand prize took place at 5:30 A. M. Each person who attended the party automatically received two tickets for the twice-hourly drawings, one ticket for the one-hundred-dollar cash award, and one ticket for the grand-prize drawing. Additional tickets for the twice-hourly drawings could be purchased with money won at the casino games. The grand prize was a cash award of five hundred dollars, and the lucky winner was Yvonne Ouellette.

Looking back, we see many good times, bad times, and times we wish we could forget, but overall, the best memories will always prevail. We remember our smashing victory in the Ca- nal Bowl (20-7) as well as the heart-stopping, hold-your-breath triumph over K.U. in basket- ball (53-50). We reminisce about the dances, our dates and parties, not to mention the pep assem- blies. Who could forget the invasion of the K.U. nerds a.k.a. Ma ama Drama, who entertained the student body with their impression of Klamath Union students. We also recall the defeats, the quarells, and the time waiting by the phone. We remember the changing of the M to an H , and the retali- ations that followed. We ll never forget home- work. essays, tests, or cramming a semester's work into one night to study for a final. We look back on fun times and weekends, and no one will forget when the basketball teams shaved their heads for a new look. We recollect those em- barrassing moments when you thought you'd just die.” and the days that nothing would go right. The days of high school, some carefree and some hectic, always provided an element of ex- citement. a tidbit to store in our minds to think about in years to come. We must now move on as the year is over, but we should all take a moment to remember that no matter where our lives lead us, we've got memories! Mike Mollo's graduation mug displays the class of '86's senior spirit. Intimidating the other team with painted faces arc Ken Wolfe and Pat Sandercock. Ma ama's sixth man didn't let its team down and continued to get rowdy throughout the basketball- season. 204-We've Got Memories Cheering on ihc football team is Cheryl Byrum. This year Ma ama's spirit prevailed once again and helped bring our team it's victories. Sporting the new hairstyle at Ma ama are Jason Rowland and Greg Wheat Falling to peer pressure, the motto for many basketball players was Hair to- day. gone tomorrow 205 206 Hnjoying a break by their locker arc Lance Cun- ningham and Mike Rolfe. The locker areas were a great place for socializing between classes. Showing us her modelling techniques is Miss Sam Houston. Miss Houston moonlighted her teaching job by modelling for Bogatay's. Showing us her better side is softball player Nancy Patrick. Nancy carne up with this innovative way to don her shades and uniform. MEMORIES Memories light the corners of my mind, misty water color memories of the way we were. Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind, smiles we gave to one another for the way we were. Can it be? that it was all so simple then? or has time rewritten every line? If we had the chance to do it all again tell me, would we? could we? Memories may be beautiful and yet. what's too painful to remember we simply chose to forget. So its the laughter we will remember whenever we remember the way we were. Following graduation hugs and tears are shared by graduates as well as parents. The realization came that high school and all its good times are now just memo- ries for the Class of 1986. Putting the final touches on the class shield is Randy Hand. This Senior, known for his wildlife sketches, donated his talents for this project. We’ve Got Memories-207 Editors Dai Nguyen and Valerie Gorman The task of making a hook that captures the people and events of an entire school year is not an easy one. A yearbook is the product of many peoples’ thoughts, ideas, and especially, hard work. It is not unusual to stay until 5 o’clock on school nights, to work weekends and several weeks after school is out to get the job done. This year’s staff consisted of a few veterans, hut mostly first year rookies. What could have been a problem became an exciting change. New people brought the yearbook a new look and feeling. Inexperience brought new light to things that had always been done the same way. Not only does the staff deserve thanks, but so do many people who had no obligation to the book. Thanks goes to: Mark Richardson for donating time and pictures to the news section; to Erin Craig for her voluntary work in the dark room after school was out; to the staff of the Herald and News for donating several sports pictures and to all of the businesses who advertised in our book. I hope that this book will be special souvenir of your years at Ma ama. It is especially dedicated to the Class of 1986. As friends move in different directions and follow their dreams, it is our intention that when they look through these pages that memories of this year will not be forgotten. Goodbye and Good Luck!
