I wouldn’t be in a job for 19years if I didn’t really enjoy it,” said Vaught Part of what Vaught enjoys the most is seeing Clackamas athletes be successful. “We have some very, very good athletes. It’s nice to see them get out and do well,” said Vaught. When Vaught came to Clacka mas in 1971, she didn’t want to just sit behind a desk. She strived for excitement, action, and a job that wasn’t going to stay the same. “I didn’t want to be a secre tary, I thought that would be bor ing. I wanted to do something I like, with a lot of action, and a lot of things going on,” said Vaught According to Vaught the student athletes also make her job fun, “I really like the kids; they really keep you young.” Vaught is married and has three kids and six grandchildren. photo by Dawn Kudi Her husband, Tom, is a high school principal and a coach.

Borrelli Sports Editor Anyone who’s dialed exten sion 291 here at Clackamas for any reason has probably talked with the same cheerful voice that greets many callers: “PE and ath letics.” The lady on the other end of the line is Lynn Vaught, ath letic secretary. Vaught has been manning the phones in the athletic department for 19 years. She came to CCC in 1971, and at the time there was no Randall Hall, so she, along with the athletic department, was housed in Clairmont Hall. “Everything has changed so much,” said Vaught “When I got here, Randall wasn’t done, so we were in Clairmont until we moved in here.” Although Vaught does often answer the athletic department phones, that’s a small part of her job in the athletic department She also sends out information to newspapers, and puts together a newsletter among other duties. Al though at times her job does be come a little hectic, Vaught says that she wouldn’t trade it for any thing. Final remarks... Recently I was selected to be Editor-in-Chief of the Print for spring term. This is what I wanted and I’m happy to have been chosen for this position, but I can’t help thinking of all the good times that I’ve had in the sports department over the last two years. Some of my most memo rable experiences were made at the Chemeketa basketball games last year. After a brawl in game one, the Cougars traveled to Salem to face the Chiefs just two weeks later. Of course, I was there. Decked out in Cou gar red and blue, with my face painted to match, I saw an in credible game. Chemeketa, play ing with only three men in over- time, battled to the end, but Jeff Hoffman’s three pointer at the buzzer gave Clackamas the emotionally exhausting victory. Experience that is something I will never forget. The women, lead by Angela Hewlett, went undefeated. I then traveled to Clark College for the NWAACC tournament with high expectations, only to see us drop our first two games, but Coach Phil Garver always has his team in a competitive spirit. It’s been fun to cover a class program. It’s been fun to cover every sport here at CCC! I think I’ve written it all, from volleyball to track. I hope everyone realizes that Clackamas has some ex ceptional athletes, and some out standing coaches. Every coach here made my job easier, be cause it’s a lot easier to write about winners than losers. So a big thank you goes out to Mike Hodges, Kathie Woods, Paul Fiskum, Royce Kiser, and Phil Garver. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Lynn Vaught, Athletic Secretary. Lynn has been tremendous in helping me with what ever I’ve needed over the last two years. One other person whose name needs to be mentioned, and is really respon sible for my being here is Dale McGriff. I worked for Dale my first year here, helping him with sports information. Despite my less than responsible attitude, Dale was supportive of me, and got me headed down the right track. I would also like to thank all of the people who are read- ' ing this right now. I don’t write i for myself, or the coaches; I i write for you, our readers. j Staci Beard will assume all Cagers, coach, receive honors Lindland reaches quarter finals Students travel to tourney DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE of the sports department duties next term. Staci is very capable, and l*m sure that she will do an outstanding job. Meanwhile, I’ll move on-I’ll be on the same paper, justa different page.
