I ' m getting a little tired of blue Becoming a unified class required much of the Freshman ' s ingenuity. Class trademarks — such as the motto, colors, and flowers— had to be selected. This process was not as easy as it sounded. The following comments, made by freshmen them- selves, point out a few difficulties. Maybe this motto I don ' t like it. If we ' d waited until sophomore year we might have gotten some better suggestions. Venusfly trap! Whoever suggested the Venus fly trap for flower must be, uh . . . I can just see the girls walking down with a Venus fly trap at gradua- tion. I don ' t think we were ready to vote. We didn ' t have much spirit and we weren ' t together as a class. Just like the car. We weren ' t pre- pared and didn ' t know how much work it would be. The colors are too common. I ' m getting a little tired of blue. Yeah, why can ' t we have some- thing wierd; green and purple or something? Special initiation rites for new teachers at Lutheran High include giving them several clubs to try and organize. Mrs. Judy Ebey has taken charge of the cheerleaders, AFS club, and the Ski Club. During the rest of her time she teaches a variety of math classes. ' Create in me ' seems to imply that the creating is coming from someone or something outside the individual. However she feels that to create means to bring into being something which is not already there— love, or any other Christian attribute which you feel is lacking in your life. Devising new approaches to old material is a challenge to Mrs. Ebey. This attitude is reflected in the way she conducts her classes. She hopes her students will learn to think logically from problem to solution. This thought process applies to every phase of life — not just to math. I think that everyone here has the responsibility to respect every other person here as a part of God ' s creation. Teachers must respect the students and the students must also respect the teachers. In the freshman class she sees an eagerness to learn. fi v ' fc P V 4 V, StM e e m Robert Fairchild Kevin Farlee Debra Febley Timothy Finkas Dennis Fricke James Gilbert MarkCoetz David Gohdes EncHaener Milton Hammond Kenneth Hampton Peter Hilst

1. Discussing English? Usu- ally buzz groups can find something better to buzz about. 2. Had Michelangelo gone to Lutheran High he ' d have created his first mas- terpieces here— in Basic Crafts. 3. Eny. meny, mi- ney, moe. When the test results come back the freshmen will realize why you read the questions before coloring in the cir- cles. 4. With what remotely resembles military preci- sion, Mr. Firnhaber divides his class into buzz groups. John Lott Elliot Low David Luebbe Roosevelt Matthews Cherylyn Meyer DeLynna Miller Mr. Edgar Firnhaber feels a complete freedom in dealing with students and teachers this year. There is a lack of tension in the classroom and the faculty room that I have not experienced before. Teaching English and being Freshman Class sponsor makes him the special friend of the Freshmen. They are all individuals who structure themselves according to their own patterns of creativity. Recognizing their talent when it appears and channelling it into areas of creativity, he believes, will motivate students to do things for themselves. In natural surroundings, such as at a camp or retreat. Mr. Firnhaber feels most creative. The words creation js God ' s greatest gift to man are, to him, an understate- ment. Since God already has created everything, all we can do is to reinforce His pattern. Working with freshmen students enables him to say of the class. They are the most courteous, best motivated, most aggressive group that 1 have ever seen, with apologies to the many freshman classes I have taught before.
