In Dedication: Mr. William Mazy With great pride, the CATAMOUNT Corporation dedicates the 1984-85 edition toMr. William Mazy. He came to Western Hills as part of the original staff in the first year of our existence. Mr. Mazy has been an innovator throughout his teaching career. Four years ago, he introduced woodcarving to the curriculum ofthe Fort Worth Public Schools. Western Hills became the first school in the state of Texas to offer the course for elective credit. Originally from Paris, Texas, Mr. Mazy attended Parisjunior College for one year before moving to North Texas University. At North Texas, he completed both his Bachelor's and his Master's degrees in Industrial Arts. Mr. Mazy leads a very interesting life away from the classroom. He is a CommandSergeant in the Texas National Guard. He has served the country and the State ofTexas in this capacity for thirty-four years. He has been called into active duty status to help with disaster relief operations all over the state. Recently, his unit was pressed into service to aid victims of the Witchita Falls tornado. Mr. Mazy's hobby, woodcarving, developed gradually as he became interested in the craft. He is self- taught, but he has added much to his storehouse of expertise on the subject by attending seminars and reading. The skill he has achieved in carving is quite evident in the samples of his finished works, many of which can be seen in the display cases outside the wood lab. Mr. Mazy instills in his students the patience and skill that it takes to convert a plain block of wood into a work of art. The CATAMOUNT staff salutes Mr. Mazy as a great teacher and a fine craftsman.
