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.

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?
