On The Move To Go Forth In Life There are a few times in any person's life when they have to take a big step from the fa- miliar to the unknown. One of these times is the move from junior high to high school. When the class of '91 arrived this year, there were the usual comments from returning Vi- kings like, The freshmen are sure small this year! and ‘They're so immature! Wel- come week offered everyone a chance to get to know each other and have some “fun. “Painting the M was one of the things I remember most, commented Freshman Brandi Bly, We had all this paint in our hair and everything. Ac- Louis Aceves Vincent Ada Charles Alexander Dave Allison Brenda Amacker Deena Anderson cording to Mrs. Porter, ASB ad- visor, Everyone's spirt was so close this year. I think that the freshmen tied for third. Many were active in sports, clubs, and other activities. There were lots of new things for students here which wer- en't available before like regu- lar dances, trips out of town for sports, and alternatives to school lunches through the vending machines and the student store. There was also more variety than there had been before as far as classes. Some classes like drama, French, and Spanish offered new roads to travel. Freshman Lan Nguyen explained, “The teachers weren't as hard on you, since it was your respon- sibility to get your work done. Before, you didn't get to choose anything. It was all re- quired. An open campus also offered some new paths to eating enjoyment for those few who managed to find some transportation. High school is generally a little more difficult than junior high, but so many benefits come with this move that it's a deal most people don't pass up. The freshmen p.e. class is forced to experience the morning chill as they await to return to the building after a fire alarm.

Why do people diet? These are some of the questions that most high school students ask. To find out about their dieting, students of Mazama were asked how they diet and why. “1 diet to dance. I like all styles of dance jazz, tap, modem it helps to be slim, explained Junior Heather Ihde. “1 diet for myself, but I don't diet very often, reported Sopho- more Shellie Tucker. Today most Americans are un- happy with their appear- ances. Often this reaction makes them want to diet. Junior Kristen Shimek backed this up saying, I start feeling kind of bad and go on a diet for a while. It makes me feel better. Of course, there is the excep- tion to every rule. don't diet at all, quoted Sopho- more Megan Nelson, I like all sorts of wierd foods like chocolate chip cookies and mustard! If asked, most high school girls will prob- ably say they've been on at least one diet in their life time. Their only thought is to lose fat. A student then will go to the grocery store and purchase a quick diet. The fad diet chosen will usually make the dieter happy and con- tent that they are losing fat. In fact, most of the diets don't make you lose fat at all. They make you lose wa- ter or lean tissues. Finally, after the diet is over the deiter will go back to his or her old eating habits and gain the weight back. Thus, the diet has failed and the person feels that they have failed, too. Dieting can be helpful if it isn't a quick diet. If you eat the right kinds of foods and exercise you'll look and feel great. As Junior Sara Coke says, ‘T don't diet. 1 just watch what I eat. The choice is yours. Sophomore Jeen Clemitson mows down in foods class. These classes generate pleasant odors often as they prepare all sorts of foods. Junior Sonia Ramirez gets some non-diet, yummy food during lunch in the forum. These ma- chines take in hundreds of dol- lars every year. Sophomores - 101
