The most familiar face in the library is undoubtedly Mr. Ed Wittmer. He serves as library card inspector, book-sorter and finder, bouncer, and head of the Industrial Arts Department. When he is able to solve a problem which will benefit many people, he feels God most powerfully in him ' only He who creates, can create in me and through me. I alone am powerless to create unless God graciously gives me this blessing. He considers creativity in his life a major part of living. He says, It ' s the whole ball of wax in a Christian life and the only way mankind will see a need for God. In class, Mr. Wittmer witnesses the changed lives of individual students through their developing skills. I feel drafting builds an attitude toward creating and teaches the skills to achieve it. He feels Christians fail themselves when they are too lazy to use the gift of creation which God gave them. He would like to spend a sabbatical year drafting in industry.

Yes, definitely, since God is cen- tral to all creation— whether we realize or not He feels that God ' s Spirit is alive in people and helping them to inspire and provoke others to creativity.

A flag in the back of the quad informed the school if we were doing our job in keep- ing the campus spotless by mysteriously turning green or red. 2.

Most of the kids had already been seriously thinking about college and had definite ideas about the shapes they wanted their futures to take. The way the world is set up now you almost have to go to college to get a job that will let you lead a so-called normal life. You can ' t get ahead anymore without a college education es- pecially for something exciting and worthwhile in your life. You don ' t want to work in a gas station all your life. I think everyone should go to college— if you have a job you can get that kind of experience anytime, but if you go to college that ' s an experience you can never have again . live while you can. It seems like you have to go to college just to be average If you want to know in your own self that you ' re better than another person in knowledge you have to go to college. It ' s very important if you want a high position that ' s just what you have to do. Personally I ' d like to be a truck driver ... but I don ' t think they let women. That ' s the way it is or is it? ti M Chris Malone Martha Mueller Randy Ptlueger Sheila Pharns Becky Reynolds Joanne Scannell Cynthia Rhodes KathySchlaht If you noticed a tall, lean figure darting about campus this year holding his head at odd angles and flashing cameras in your eyes, you ' ve been watching our chemistry teacher, Mr. Don Schulteis. These pictures were used for films to give next year ' s freshmen an idea of Lutheran High life. Also included in his activities are. Record Club, Bowling Club, Key Club, EXPO ' 72, chaperoning for dances, the Instructional Media Committee, and Eighth grade Open House. In his off-hours, he becomes a closed circuit TV cameraman and technician. When he is presented with a problem that seems to be impossible to solve, Mr. Schulteis feels he can be most creative and imaginative. Creativity helps keep me fresh it prevents boredom. In teaching, he tries to nudge along the pro- cess of discovery which is vital in the study of science and life to develop creative think- ing which in turn will stimulate further creative thinking. I see more creativity this year in activitiesl that students initiate— especially when they are ' carried out. He feels there isn ' t enough time for Vj teachers to know and talk to students outside 1 of class. Of the Junior class this year he says, They ' rev great!
