Although the School Board have routine policies and decisions to make year after year, new graduation requirements and a trip to Ashland livened up the agenda for this years Board. The main function of the School Board is to make policies and allocate the funds that kept the school running. The School Board consisted of chairperson, Shirley Susac with members Ed Coburn, Scott Woodside, Fred Ashley Jr., and Jim Kennedy. The function of the Administration is to carry out Board policies. The school administration has always work hard at this task. Principal, Mr. Willard, is kept busy signing papers and overseeing school functions. Deputy Clerk, Jerri Parman, spends her day in a rush fashion by paying bills and managing all the money. While her counterpart, Secretary Joanne Kennedy, cruises through the fast lane running errands and typing many letters. Moreover, Vice-Principal and Counselor, Mr. Newton is often occupied talking to parents or students in making decisions of what's best for them. 1.

Three New Teachers Arrive at Wasco Co. Three new teachers arrived this year to fill the empty positions. Newcomers, Mrs. Bertha Houk (Business Ed.), Mrs. Beverley Froemming (Biology and English), and Mr. Richard Chamberlin (Music). Mrs. Houk came to the position with a lot of experience. She attended the University of Oregon for several years but graduated from the Oregon State University with a BA in Business Administration. She received her teachers and secretarial degrees from Eastern Oregon College and her Masters from the University of Idaho. Her first teaching job lasted for two years at Helix High School in Oregon. Then she moved to the Enterprise High School where she taught for twelve years. Unlike Mrs. Houk, Mrs. Froemming spent her early career and education far away from Wasco County. She graduated from the University of Alabama with a BS in Biology; she minored in English. She previously taught Biology at Manatee High School in Bradenton, Florida where she also worked for two years in plant research. She came to Maupin after being married in 1982. Mr. Chamberlin has been around Maupin for quite a while. After he graduated from the Linfield College he moved to Maupin in 1954. He first started teaching high school music classes and had only three students. Chorus came soon after that and the classes varied between 50-80 students. Two years later he started a grade school music program. He left the high school music department in 1974 and has returned nine years later. He came back surprised and thought it interesting how similar kids are to their parents at the same age . All members of the WCUHS faculty travel to and from school every morning and night. For some the journey is long, while for others it is just a short distance. The faculty members come from many different locations such as Madras and The Dalles. Surely they must have determination to travel such distances to teach at Maupin. The Wasco County faculty is a strong unity of educators who share one important goal. This goal is to advise and teach each student. Great opportunities seem to come as a result of good education. The faculty of WCUHS teach the students in the way that they feel is best and will prepare them for these great opportunities. 6 Faculty Richard Chamberlin Beverley Froemming Doug Froemming (Music) (English Biology) (Science) Bertha Houk john Howey Donita Huskey (Business) (P.E.
