After 19 years job remains fun for Vaught
Mark A Borrelli
“I love what I’m doing. 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.

Vaught plans on staying at
Clackamas at least six more years
before retiring.

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.

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. See
you there.
