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.

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.

FBLA This year Mazama had 17 mem- bers in FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, which com- pared to clubs of up to 50 mem- bers is very small. 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.

MAZAMA DRAMA Mazama Drama is composed of all of the drama classes, extra- curricular activities, Thespians of Mazama. school plays. The Com- pany. etc. Most of these clubs and activities are in their first year here. One of Mazama drama’s new projects was the Safe Hal- loween Party for kids. They had a carnival full of games, booths, treats, and a Haunted house all for the price of one dollar. One hundred and fifty kids and thirty adults attended, it was a great success. The Company, a children's theatre troupe, had 11 members this year. They toured to 8 grade schools and Ponderosa Jr. High. They did 15 performances of Shel Silverstein Comes Alive, and po- ems adapted from Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silver- stein. in January.

Other thespian activities in- clude the Theatre Arts Festival at the University of Portland on March 1, Mike Mollo received superior rating in Solo acting. Also Stacy Boyd and Mike Mollo were among the top nine finalists in duo acting (out of 50) at the State Thespians Conference at Centennial High School on April 3-5. Mazama Radio theatre record- ed a half hour original radio show for the district radio program- Radio Free Klaustrafobia. Joey Carrol.
