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.

KEEPING TABS Anyone who’s ever been on a yearbook staff knows it takes a lot of energy, effort, time, and ability. 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. Assisted by co-editors Valerie Gorman and Dai Nguyen with ad- ditional help from advisor Mrs. Lawrie. the production of the 85- 86 yearbook began. The members of the staff worked steadily from the beginning of the school year to produce the finished product . . Valhalla”.
