This can be attributed to the spirit, fight, and teamwork displayed by the boys. Coach Bill Koch did a fine job with the boys, and everyone was very proud of their showing. The cheerleaders worked zealously and the worth of their labors was evidence when as many as four commercial busses were needed to transport Cadet fans to games. Such turn-outs indicate that football is becoming a more popular sport with the students, as well as with the adults. We feel that this season will be remembered in future years as one of Concordia ' s greatest. Concordia 20 . . . Concordia 25 . . . Concordia 33 ... Concordia 0. . Concordia 20. .. Concordia . .

It helped to inspire more than 2,000 workers to so- licit pledges for this new CONCORDIA. The goal was set at $750,000.00, (an im- possible amount, many believed) but the minimum needed to build about one- third of this school. Final tabulations re- vealed that pledges of nearly a million dollars had been recorded. The final plans which were approved by the build ing committee do not quite agree with the ren- dition shown here. When our present school was dedicated less than ten years ago, no one could possibly have imagined that bona fida FOR SALE signs would be standing on the lawn today; but that ' s PRO- G RESS-and we all like it. camp Eacito- 5 but especxa most hapW , to occupy e, Wends of Concordia izable Contnbu Contributions f corn this - - commera- c . i;.„4.;«,o n three -i DioTsion Makes Nell Building Program dnision are neanng • enterp rises. 3,«-  - fiS:S Sizable Contribution to . rtinent facts: Ms program is incut — participation m t , his ,? % e ent ire community l oK£ ■ ■ ' ' ■ , not only assets -niusdybepr Wivn a bi ■•Sfcfo.
