 SPEECH The speech team had a busy year as they attended many different speech meets. One such meet was the Ump- qua Timber Invita- tional Speech Meet. Amy Bender, Jennifer Hatfield, Briana Stem- bridge, Barb Thomp- son, and Anthony Wil- son did an outstand- ing job at this meet. According to adviser Katrina Andretta the team represented Ma- zama well at the many different meets that they attended. They were also very vocal during classes which made other classes wonder what was going on. Speech Team Clockwise - Anthony Wilson, Amy Bender, Briana Stem- bridge, and Barb Thomp- son.

OH THE JOB Mike Allison, Rafael Reyes, Jason Rhinevault, Bob Welzbacker, Brian Engel, Todd Simms, Matt Male, Dusty Baird, and Danny Story show of their completed house. The building of the house took nine weeks. Instructor Bob Welzbacker's origi- nal plan for his third and fourth year Me- chanical Drawing students was to have them all draw house plans. They were to conform with PP L weather standards; with all local, state, and na- tional codes; and be entered in the Kla- math Home Builders Association contest. After a semester of drawing though, only a few were com- pleted and able to be entered in the contest. Welzbacker then came up with the idea of building a scale model of one of the houses, a plan he has actually carried out twice be- fore. The class then voted on which house they wanted to build. As it turned out, they chose the house designed by Brian Engel. The next step was to divide the class into four teams: foundation and floor, outside walls, inside walls, and trusses. It was then time to go to work with each team building their own specialty with slight adjustments being made. The scale the house was built on was one inch equal to one foot. Accord- ing to Welzbacker, the project really brought out the nat- ural leadership qua- lities in some of the students. Next year though, he plans to build a couple of houses but on a smaller scale and let the students have them after they are finished. The students real- ized the impor- tance of modular construction and the project really went well. - Bob Welzbacker. Feature 143
