Being selected to re- present Klamath Tails as the 1988 Junior Miss was a priceless experience. I gained so much person- ally in the areas of self- confidence, goal-setting and responsibility. But most importantly, I have learned to be the best that I can be at whatever task is set before me.

Competing Through Talent Webster states art is the conscious use of skill and creative imagination espe- cially in the produc- tion of aesthetic ob- jects. The 27th an- nual May art fair was held at Klamath Union. Mazama's en- tries have been strong for the last three years. Mr. John Bastinelli said people enjoy Maza- ma's acrylics and pastels because they are larger than other schools' and attractive. Many photography stu- dents entered their prints and did well. Clothing was not judged but begin- ning and advanced artcles were shown. Junior Krista Jordan stated, I like com- peting in the art fair because it gives me a chance to com- pare my acrylic painting and pho- tography with other students in the county. next year everyone is looking for a good show here at Mazama. Second prize- Dana Ko- zeliski chose to show her artistic streak from be- hind the camera. Dana took photography to leam how to express her talent. Rockwell inspiriation - This acrylic painting done by Kim Sorensen earned her a first-place ribbon. Kim enjoys nor- mari Rockwell s work and got the basic idea for her painting from him. Clothing displayed by Seancerae Thompson and Viki Kiser earns rec- ognition at the art fair. Design, texture, and col- or enable one to express themselves. Art Fair • 163
