Work Experience was organized in the fall of 1987 with Mr. Philip Jensen as the counselor. Work Experience was an elective class for juniors and seniors who had a job. Students had to work a mini- mum of 10 hours a week or 180 hours per semester. There were approximately 145 students in the program. Most students worked at grocery stores or at fast food restaurants but there was a wide variety of other jobs. Jensen also helped stu- dents find a job if they were look- ing for one. Work Experience helped students learn business skills. It helps students to be responsible and to be dependent on themselves, stated Jensen. Work Experience forms had to be filled out and turned in before signing up for the class. Jensen also visited with the students' employers once or twice a semes- ter to check on the students pro- gress. A student also had to re- turn a progress report which was a grading sheet that include areas like attitude, dependability, and neatness of work. One pro- gress report had to be turned in each nine weeks to receive the credit. Cleaning TacoTime's front counter is Jenny Zelnar. Taco- Time employed many students from Mazama.
