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.

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?

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?
