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!

. . . 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. Mrs. I.issanti, al- though new this year, really got into the spirit of things. Demonstrating batting techniques is Mr. Hamblin. Mr. Hamblin coached girl’s baseball.
