MARCH March, as the proverbial saying goes, came in as a lion but here at Concordia also left as one. In other words, there were so many activities that the lion had to stay all month lfiguratively speaking, of coursel . The Sectionals were over, everyone soon was back in the 'groove' and along came the Freshman Assembly, with its appropriate St. Patrick's Day theme. And, afterwards as everyone remembers, the presentation of the Sportsmanship Trophy was made. Eight Juniors were tagged as members of the National Honor Society and were made welcome at a noon luncheon meeting. The Indiana Homemaker of Tomorrow was announced as Nancy Brown. All were indeed proud that such an honor should come to a Concordia student. Nancy toured the East and also competed with forty-seven other winners for the title, Homemaker of Tomorrow. The G.A,A, held a splash party to give the members an oppor- tunity to eam some extra points and also to have c good time. Buzz Doerffler and Paul Manske were elected to the All-City team and were awarded with gold basketball charms at a banquet for the All-City team and their coaches. Something new in Concordia's history was the Sadie Hawkins Party, sponsored by the Student Council. As turn about, the girls had to invite the boys to the Dogpatch style party. An appropriate closing service was held on the day before Good Friday as school closed for the Easter vacation.

FEBRUARY February with its many activities, hardly seemed to have begun when it was already ended. Basket- ball again was the highlight, but not to be Forgotten was the skating party held For the students by the P.T,A. Always to be remembered are the thrills, spills, and the real good time. North Side, Garrett and Central challenged the Cadets during February. All attention was focused on the coming of the Sectionals and so called Hoosier Hysteria at the close of the regular sea- son. ln preparation for this event, plans were made. Many girls gave up their extra hour of sleep so that the cheering block could practice new cheers. The boys, not to be outdone, bought red derbies to add to the 'sharpness' of their cheering block. Plans were made for numerous slumber parties. Paints and paint brushes were in full use the night before when cars and ialopies took on new appearances. So, armed with pom-poms, new cheers, derbies and straight from a send-off pep session all loyal Con- cordians cheered their team in the opening night of the Sectionals. Even though we weren't the champs we can be proud of our sportsmanship and Christian conduct throughout the Sectionals. Sponsored By PAPE HEATING COMPANY

QQ APRIL April opened with no classes for the first whole week. It was Easter vacation and also a convention of the Lutheran Teachers Conference was being held in Chicago. The track season started in full swing with several contests, including th ree triangular meets with other city schools. The Cadet baseball team officially opened its season with two games being played. The music department was certainly busy during April. The State Music Finals were held with our musicians again bringing home several honors. The band and orchestra enioyed the fun-filled trip to Detroit where they participated in the third Tri- Lutheran Music Festival. A week later they were again busily occupied and with the choir presented the Spring Concert. Congratulations again to the students who did so well in the achievement finals held in Bloomington, Indiana. Preparations were being made for the Military Toumaments and other events. The staff of the Luminarian breatheda sigh of relief as'the last pages of copy were written and last pictures were taken. Now just to sit back and wait till it arrives, they said. As April came to a close, we realized that Spring was definitely in the air and before long classes would be over for another year. .1 '
