Senior Features On The Air Imagine going to work at 4 p.m. high atop a hill, with sound-proof walls, and an au- dience to grade your work. That’s what Wiley Gibson, disc jockey (DJ) has been doing for the past 4 2 years. Wiley first became interested in radio while doing odd jobs at a station. The manager showed me how things worked, and I began to get interested in radio. The manager and I started do- ing morning shows together, and she helped me to develop the needed skills.” The first time I went on the air I was nervous because SO many people could hear me and things such as cueing records and talking smoothly had to happen without errors.” Wiley has since moved on to 99 1 'M; he has been using aliases in order to avoid stardom. He landed this position with an on- the-air audition. When a teenager thinks about getting a job, fast-food restaurants and stores come to mind. Being a DJ certainly isn’t an ordinary job. It takes a spe- cial type of person, and Wiley is that kind of person. Keep up the good work Wiley. Schedules treated like regular college stu- dents, which included paying for their classes and providing their own transportation. Tina Maxwell thought that the class was a lot harder than those in high school. We did a lot more work in a shorter period of time, she stated. Mike Novasad felt that tt was a great experience for high school and it helped him for col- lege. Overall, they felt that it was worth the extra effort to experience college life for a few hours a day. Foreign Flair Lucerne, Switzerland, to Kla- math Falls, Oregon is a long way from home for Mazama High School foreign exchange student. Karen Muller. Karen lived with the Bryant family whose daughter, Cassie, had been an exchange stu- dent to Switzerland. Karen, who is very good in Eng- lish, had only one year of English previous to coming to America. Since she enjoys English she decid- ed to come to the United States. When asked to compare classes here with classes at home. Karen said. School at home is much harder. At Karen s school in Swit- zerland they have more classes, more homework, and no choice of class schedule. Here taking a foreign language is an elective, in Lucern it is manda- tory to take French, Latin, and English. Karen enjoyed all of her classes, but psychology was her favorite. Other than taking classes, Karen enjoyed participating on the varsity volleyball team of which she said. 1 liked it a lot, I didn't get to play volleyball at home. Karen is an active person and likes skiing and taking jazz classes. During her stay she was able to visit the coast, to which she said, I enjoyed it very much, the coast is very impressive! Fainting The M During the 1984-85 sch x l year the class of 1985 along with the class of 1988 began the tradition of painting the M as a way of initi- ating freshmen into school activi- ties. Unfortunately, the tradition was not carried on this year when the senior class officers took on the job alone. This was not done in order to discontinue the tradition but in order to get the job finished. Getting the job done was not an easy task for Eric Kruse, Denise Koepke, Jack Heaton, Greg Wunder, Stephanie Long and Mr. Fitzpatrick. Afcer endless obstacles such as locked gates, a heavy paint sprayer, and Arctic weather, the M was finally painted on Octo- ber 19 after five hours of effort. The tradition of painting the M continues, and it is now up to the seniors and freshman of classes to come to complete the task. Senior Features-17
