MAKinSOn - MYERS A Costly Act-Vandalism Mazama has been the victim of much vandalism over the years. The last break-in of the year oc- curred over Christmas va- cation. The damage wasn't all that bad, but windows were broken and little things were taken. Bill Hamblin says, It wasn't as bad as Henley, but it was just total non- sense. I especially think it's bad because 3 or 4 kids make it bad for the other 900. It gives Mazama a bad name and makes it bad for the rest of the student body.'' What motivates a student to commit acts of vandal- ism? Some feel that people who do this have a low self esteem, and they don't re- spect the school as much as they should. Mr. Wagner believes, Vandalism is a way of an individual expressing themselves negatively. The students need to have a lit- tle more pride in their school! Vandalism costs taxpay- ers a lot of dollars. The school is now patrolled more heavily and a costly alarm system was installed to guard against further in- trusions. This is just one of the many times the windows by the student lounge and all over the school were broken. This is an example of a class- room that was broken into during Christmas vacation. Oregon State Police were the investigators on this scene.

A few teachers were given the chance to express their personal choices. Mr. Kostelecky answered, I like peanut M8tM's a whole lot! But I despise to the upmost Horehound candy . For those of you who don't know what that is; it's a herbal candy, that was popular back in the early 1900's. Many people always thought that some cereals were categorized as kids cereals . You know, the' ones with those cute, little prize toys inside the box. Mow many adults are con- fessing their cravings for that those tasty cereals. Miss Andretta says, I like Captain Crunch; there is just no way getting around that! Miss An- dretta also has a dislike. She does not like whiners. Yeahl - Mr. Gary Nichols, a true sprots fan, is promoting his favor- ite superbowl team. Mr. Nichols' brother-in-law was a coach for the Denver Bronocs. Although many of us do it, especially under the times of pressure, she says it can be very annoying. Finally we have inter- viewed Mr. Bastianelli who came up with that all-time disliked word that many of us have to face, BROKE . It seems every year prices sky rocket and those luxury items that everyone wants casually diminish as the years go by. Even the prices on movies has gone up; so many people have switched over to the V.C.R. This has been a popular item with many people. Mr. Bastinalli enjoys just sitting back and watching a good movie. These people have al- ways just been thought of as our teachers; but as you can see they have many of the same likes and dislikes that we, as students, do. Staff-115

niCHOLS-REYnOLDS Trading Places-Wood for VanFleet Mazama's loss also turned into its gain as Bryon Van Fleet traded his teaching posi- tion with Richard Wood of hew Zealand. The trade was a com- plete exchange of salaries, houses, cars, bills, and teach- ing positions for a full year. The exchange process is a lengthy one to complete the required paperwork and ac- quire the necessary approval from the State of Oregon. It was touch-and-go up until the end as to whether the Van- Fleet's VISAs would come in on time. When they did, it was a quick pack-up of belongings, a buying of the necessary tick- ets, and a transcontinental flight. Van Fleet had once lived in hew Zealand and this had prompted his wanting to re- turn on the exchange pro- gram. He wrote to Spotswood College (the equivalent of our high school) to find a person willing to complete the trade. Wood responded and took Van Fleet s teaching position of Human Anatomy, Biology, and IPS. He fit in very well with his unique wit and accent and will be missed next year. Receiving a momento of Ma- zama, Mr. Richard Wood starts off his school year in the States. At the end of the year his wife gave him a shirt entitled I survived Mazama.
