Homecoming Week was a real riot for me. Even though invisible to students, I was right in there. Sitting in the quad between classes, i ' d watch shepherds, bums, queens, kings, gangsters, flappers, bearded wisemen and angels in oxfords rush by. Then at lunch, I would pad out to the football field and watch the activities. Laughing when the Varsity football players were auctioned off as slaves, I watched many players carrying books r either the girl or freshman who had bought him. One day the girls couldn ' t talk to the boys for fear of losing boys their tags. On Depression Day, I observed the classes battle for the title of tug-o-war champion, and what a battle it was! The class flags were magnificent. One day everyone dressed up like they did in the early years at Luthera High. That brought back alot of memories To avoid being trampled in the balloon bust or yolked by an ai : 1. Splashing through a six foot puddle, juniors hurriedly sloshed to overtake the seniors. 2. Folding out paper petals, freshman girls work intently on flowers for their class car. 3. Bible Day inspired shepherds, prophets and Marys to concoct two thousand year old cost- umes. 4. When the tension became too much it was common to clasp hands to head and shut your eyes. 5. Yeech! A mud bath was the inevi- table result of the tug-o-war no matter how hard each team struggled. 6. Maneuvering as gracefully as possible with feet tied and egg in hand, Kathy Schlaht bounces ahead in the egg-relay. 7. Flashing smile s of anticipated victory, sophomore girls strained as they pulled seniors twice their size through the mud 8.Pyramid building im- proves with age— although juniors appear victorious, the seniors were triumphant. 9. Flexing a muscular arm. Bob Anderson goes on the auction block as Auctioneer Mike Jordan sells Varsity football players to the highest bidders.

Success ! is spelled NHS-CSF The National Honor So- ciety is a national organ- ization to which students are elected by teachers and faculty for their lead- ership, character, and ex- cellence. Graduating sen- iors automatically become life members. Sophomores and juniors are probation- ary members. Students become mem- bers of the California Scholarship Federation if they have better than av- erage grades. CSF gives students the chance to apply for state scholar- ships. Students qualifying for four semesters in suc- cession become Seal- bearers. A new face on the Lutheran High School campus. Mr. Denis Wittenberger. feels most creative when he has just experienced or seen something of beauty. Crea- tivity is important in a person ' s life because it gives it variety and freshness. To make his life a more creative experience, he would like to have more time to con- centrate and appreciate the experiences he has. Mr. Wittenberger is the second semester Guidance Counselor at Lutheran High. He also teaches Psychol- ogy, Modern Church and Bible History. I try to create an awareness of as many aspects in their lives as pos- sible. he replies, when asked what he tries to develop in his students. Once the person ' gets inside ' and has a better understanding of himself as an individual, there is freedom to create. Before one can appreciate cre- ation within oneself, he must become aware that it is taking place. Mr. Witterjberger sees creation taking place in Lutheran High in all the smiling faces and com- munity.

borne egg in the egg-relay, I took refuge on the goal post and rooted for each class in turn. The pyramids were unbelievable! How can that many people scramble atop so many other people in so short a time? The go-cart grand prix was fun to watch, as around and around the locker rooms they went, switching driver with pusher at each lap. By the end of the week, the Seniors were ahead with more points than anyone else. All that remained to decide the score were the flower-decorated cars. All week I waited impatiently for Friday night — the coronation. When the time finally came, I was as excited as anyone else. It was disappointing at first, though, that the coronation was held inside Rogers Community Cen- ter, instead of at Lutheran High. Later it proved to be a perfect place to crown Lutheran High ' s queen. It was a
