Ma- zama had the privilege of hav- ing six student teachers dur- ing the last term. It was been a positive experience for most everyone, and it gave the stu- dent-teachers a first-hand ex- perience in the adventurous world of education. It has been nice to take over ' says Bill Lipe, Art is widely varied. I feel that any- one who applies themselves can benefit from it. Mr. Bas- tianelli liked having a student teacher because it gave him the opportunity to grow as a teacher himself. It's like be- ing on the outside and watch- ing myself teach. A lot of the time situations are the same and as an observer I can see how I look when dealing with the same everyday situations. I feel that it can make me a more effective teacher. Dee Hahn is a student teacher for Mr. Reynolds who felt that There are many good points to being a student teacher. I really enjoy the Ma- zama students. The kids are polite and they have a good sense of humor. Hopefully Mazama has giv- en these future teachers the knowledge they need to go on to teach their own classes. 118 - Staff

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.

Looking for that just-right design - Dava Stone and Trent Lynn look through a catalog of class rings. Rings and The purchase of high school momentos such as class rings, keys, and year- books may seem quite ex- pensive at times, especially for the graduating senior. However, these things are usually appreciated later in life when one can look back and remember the good times. Things Staff! 19
