Because of the crowded conditions in our present building, plans are being made to con- struct a new one. The planned site is the twenty- three acre tract at Zollner Stadium. To pay for the building, pledges were made by the Lutherans of Fort Wayne. Our old building is to be sold; and to aid the sale, the land at the corner of Maumee and Anthony has been re-zoned for business. 1185757 -3 J. 4 - Concordia Prepares Us For Life. Besides planning for the future of the school, Concordia plans for the futures of its students. By offering a sound plan of study combined with Christian growth, our school helps us prepare our- selves for a fuller, truly happy life. 5- Administration Coordinates School Program The task of the principal is to supervise and administer the total educational program of Concordia Lutheran High School so that the objectives of the school are attained. To this end the Board of Directors establishes board policies under which the principal is expected to operate the school ' s program. The educational program of the school is broad and solid providmg quality education in a Christian atmosphere for all the students. The principal is responsible for sound organi- zation and effective administration of this comprehensive program. The numerous components of an accred- ited school require not only the attention of the principal, but also the services of an assis- tant, director of religion and public relations, attendance counselor, athletic director and other faculty members for various adminis- trative duties. In a minor role members of the Student Council with its faculty sponsor render many services which assist the principal. Mr. H. Birkman, as our school principal, heads the administrative department. The faculty, here shown al a laculty nieelint;. help with the administration of our school. Religion Classes, Church Services Enrich Our Spiritual Life Religion classes are a unique part of Con- cordia ' s curriculum. Concordia was founded for the purpose of instructing Lutheran young people in the beliefs of their church. Some may complain that here we are overprotected and will not be ready for the cold, cruel world. It is true that we are protected, but protected like a young plant in a hot house until it is strong enough to face the elements alone. Freshmen at Concordia study the Old Testament. During the sophomore year, the New Testament is examined. Church history is taken up by the juniors while seniors are instructed in the doctrines of our church. By the time of graduation, it is the hope of Con- cordia that the student ' s faith has been strengthened through a fuller understanding of our Christian beliefs. Religion is an important part of life at Concordia here. Pa.stor A. Oldsen instructs a senior religion class. Besides formal religion classes Concordia held biweekly worship The Choir enriched our church services. Here it is shown singing at our closing service before Christmas vacation. English Students Gain Skills In Self-Expression E. Korte in the world of American literature. Using her literature book as source of in- formation, C. Dixon writes a theme for her freshman English class. The Eng-lisn courses at Concordia offer the student an opportunity to master his language. Stressed in the English courses are literature, grammar, and the art of self-expression. This year a new program based on classical mythology was initiated. The freshmen studied the Trojan War and Ulysses. The Coming and Death of King Arthur was studied by the sophomores. The jun- iors assisted in making associations between the literary past and present by the study of mythical derivations of American words and customs. The seniors studied the Arthurian legends and the Age of Chivalry. Except ' jest ' fore Christmas When I ' m as good as I kin be! ' Language Study Acquaints Pupils With Foreign Peoples. The majority of college-bound students from Concordia take one of the two foreign language courses offered, either Latin or German. The foreign languages give the student a better per- spective of his own language and the ability to express himself in another tongue. The depart- ment has taken a step forward by adding a third year of German, which emphasizes composition. Latin is still a two-year course, but an expansion is foreseen in the near future. J. Schoenefeld tacks up a display for Latin. Under Mrs. Miller ' s watchful eye The third-year German class listens to a documentary speech. -9- Math Classes Learn To Work Well In Our Number System K. Carbaugh uses the large slide rule to demonstrate the solution of a problem. The Mathematics Department is interested in getting students to reason thmgs out and think logically. Those students who are interested in the science or engineering field need the following courses to prepare them for college: plane geometry, Algebra I and II, solid geometry, and trigonometry. Business math and general math are also offered in this de- partment. These courses emphasize problems which we need to solve in daily life and in bus- iness. T. Steinhauser. -J. Walda and B. Mueller examine conic sections in geometry class. Practice on the chalk board helps algebra students fix algebraic principles in mind. 10 The Social Studies Dept. Acquaints Students With Our World The courses offered by the Social Studies Department help students develop new in- sights into their relationships with other people. This department helps us to under- stand our position and role in social life and gives us a basis for further training in the areas of economics, civics, geography, history, and sociology. Mr. Massucci and his American history clas,s discuss pernnent issues from the current issue of the Senior Scholastic. 1 f ' t What happens to the tax dollar? Mr. Leiding shows his economics class just Mr. Buls points out a historical location for his world where the money goes. history class. 11 Science Students Prepare For Life In Scientific World L. Diederich points out distingishing characteristics of a praying F. Schmeling colors a map in P.G. showing physical characteris- mantis, an arthropoda. tics of the earth. D. Wray and M. Webber perform an experiment in the chemistry lab. This year a new course, advanced chemis- try, was added to the Concordia science cur- riculum. A one-semester course taught by Mr. J. Weinhold, it was offered to those who com- pleted the existing first-year chemistry course last year. Besides the new chemistry course, the science department offers four subjects. First year chemistry, also taught by Mr. Weinhold, teaches students basic principles of the chemical world and the chemical changes in matter. In physics, another of Mr. Wein- hold ' s courses, the physical changes in matter are investigated. Students of biology, taught by Mr. E. Meyer, study life processes of plants and animals and make collections of leaves and insects. The last science course at Con- cordia is physical geography, which is taught by Mr. L. Baack. P.G. students study physi- cal conditions and their causes and effects as they are found on our planet, earth. 12 Business Students Study Commercial Techniques The well-rounded business department of Concordia, offering typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business math, business ma- chines, and secretarial training, prepares the student for the business world. Concordia stu- dents with a sound business background do not require additional training to hold busi- ness office positions. These courses are not in- tended only for those interested in business careers; they are also beneficial for college and part-time work. L. Lutz practices for a timed writing. The girls and Arnold take dictation. Miss E. Ross does HER homework. 13- Industrial Arts Dept. Prepares Boys For Work In Industry In mechanical drawing classes, boys learn to accurately represent objects on paper. The Industrial Arts Dept. prepares boys for work in industry. Drafting shows the stu- dent how he can express his ideas or paper in a universal manner. In shop class he learns to bring these ideas to reahty using raw ma- terials, tools, and machinery. The boys gain new experiences in the operations which they may encounter in their work. Mr. H. Panning is the head of the department. R. Walda demonstrates the use of the lathe. S. Gollivcr clamps newly-glued layers of wood together while they dry. K. Korn uses the lointer. 14 - Home Economics Students Gain Skills Useful In Homemaking. The Home Economics department at Concordia offers the girls a three- year course. The first year gives the girls a study of food preparation and various phases of sewing. The second year in- volves room decorating, advanced food preparation, and major sewing. The third year includes house planning and interior decorating, home nursing, and child care. These home ec. students hurry to finish a project before it is due. Mrs. Roop watches over home ec. students as they prepare a re- cipe of jelly. C. Tessman and G. Gallmeier sew a fine seam. 15 Art Classes Help Students Grow Culturally The art department, headed by Mr. John Sturmfels, consisted of two main courses, art and art appreciation. In the art courses, students learn to use structure, composition, color, and different media to express their individual feel- ings and ideas effectively. To demonstrate and further develop their natural talents, pupils sketch in charcoal and pastels, do abstract paint- ings in oil, and make three-dimensional pieces such as the coil vase and applicator-stick con- struction shown on this page. The art apprecia- tion course offers the student a chance to de- velop culturally through studying and compar- ing the works of the old masters ' and contem- porary painters. The effect of the age upon a painting style is investigated and great paint- ings are studied to find what it is that made them endure despite these frequently-changing styles. Art appreciation helps pupils come near- er the answer to the question, What is Art? K. Albers spins a top-ah, I mean pot. Who ' s it going to be, Mr. Sturmfels.-me? K. Bultemeier constructs a masterpiece, but what is J. Tomey doing? 16 Accomplished Music Students Learn, Practice, Entertain Concordia ' s Music Department is divided i nto two parts— choral and instrumental. The girls ' chorus and the male ensemble, known as the Blazers, comprise the choral division. The Band is the instrumental unit. Members of the two sections encountered new exper- iences---the choir and Blazers pressed a re- cord—and our Band played host to the an- nual Tri-City Music Festival. The two sec- tions did much to increase school spirit and music appreciation. D. EgU often led the band for football ganu-s, S. Beyer and J. Springer s.ng a number in the musical. - 17- Phys. Ed Builds Physical And Mental Coordination Phys. Ed. is the phase in our curriculum which develops physical and mental coordina- tion. Our God-given abilities are used in bas- ketball, Softball, tumbling, football, and for the girls, a new addition — rugby. Participa- tion results in a better understanding of these sports and a greater interest in them. •Joe goes over the hump ' Modern dance? Uhn -uh. There ' s a Ball up there.

The Military Department Develops Leadership Promotions are in order for some of our Cadets. Looks like the assembly is over. . .guess they ' re happy with their new officers. The military department, a unique feature of Concordia, does much toward building leader- ship in our Cadets; it also emphasizes the abil- ity to follow, which is considered just as impor- tant. This year the military department was operated under the command and guidance of Colonel van Oosten, who just joined us this year. In the classroom the Cadets are taught modern scientific fighting tactics. Drilling helps develop coordination, and durng the winter months the boys are kept in shape by basket- ball and other athletics. The year was brought to a successful close by Federal Inspection, the Officers ' Banquet, and the Military Tourna- ment, which demonstrated the progress and abilities of the boys to the student body and the community. A salute to the flag of our country. - 19 The Faculty Strived To Impart Their Vast Knowledge And Understanding The teachers of Concordia High have helped and guided us through another year. We are privileged to attend a high school where the teachers are concerned with our spiritual as well as edu- cational welfare. These teachers strived to impart some of their vast knowledge and understanding to us for our benefit and fu ture use. We thank the teachers of Concordia for their patience, un- derstanding, and encouragement. Mr. L. Baack, M.A. Mr. H. F.

Invested at Concordia ' s first church service of the year were Col. van Oosten, Mr. Timm, Mr. W. Ihssen, Mr. J. Leiding, and Mr. E. Falkenstem. Education is important throughout our lives. Each day we build our store of knowledge, forming the individual which we are now or shall become in the fu- ture. When one says the word educa- tion , he thinks of mathematics-or may- be English. But those factors are only part of education. The people we meet, the experiences we encounter---these form an individual. We are privileged to attend Concordia— where our teachers are concerned with giving us guidance in a Christian atmosphere. .1. Hum. ' i and R. Cowell use the library ' s facilities to help them study.

Cadets worship together hefore the beautiful altar at Concordia Church. The religious aspect of Concordia is undeni- ably important to Cadets because it helps them to grow spiritually and prepare for life in the often- hectic work-a-day world. In classrooms young Christians learn to understand basic doctrines of the Church more fully. During bi-weekly church services the entire student body unites to worship together and bear witness to the bond of their com- mon faith. The value of this Christian training is reflected in the wholesome attitude generall foutid in our Concordia halls and classrooms. We pray 23 Lunch Period Is Time To Eat; Time To Study M. Stilwell, J. Bultemeir, L. Davis, S. Maki squeeze in a little learning hetut-i-n hitt To students— and perhaps a few teachers --the lunch hour is a most vital part of Con- cordia, and provides not only a time to eat, but also a time to catch upon any studies not completed the night before. It gives students the needed half-time rest between classes and time to re-collect their wits to tackle the last few hours. Just think-at lunch time the school day is half over. J. Sheets, D. Vogel, R. Stein. P. Gerken join in a bull ses- sion with their buddies during lunch hour. 24 - students Find Information, Pleasure In Library The Concordia library, headed by Mrs. B. Mey- er, is available to Cadets seeking information for re- search papers, books for class book reports, or just plain reading enjoyment. Our library now consists of about 5,000 volumes, including five encyclopedias. Approximately 300 books are checked out each week. Mrs. Meyer is aided in running the library by stu- dent volunteers and the members of the library club. Mrs. Meyer checks for a book in the card cata- log. W. Reimer, B. Gugel, and M. Hemminger help Mrs. Meyer in the library during Students use the library ' s resources to complete free periods. an assignment. 25 Enthusiastic Cadets Urge Team To Victory In Pep Rallies Sara joins the rest of our cheerleaders in getting Cadets to raise the roof with a rousing yell. These ferrocious gridders get a real pep-talk before the kick-off of the Junior game during one of our pep rallies. While the weather permitted, we Cadet fans gathered on the front lawn to smg our team ' s praises and urge them on to another victory. This year, perhaps more than any other, we Cadets got together for pep sessions to cheer our team to victory. In the autumn while the weather was still nice, we gathered on the lawn to learn new cheers and spark our enthusiasm for the first few games. Later, the Indiana Tech. gym reverberated with the sounds of our voices and our band playing the school song. Skits by the various classes added humor and sparkle and left us in a higher key of excitement. When we left the gym and ambled back to our classrooms, strains of Our Boys Will Shine Tonight echoed in our ears— and we knew they would. Hopefully, these girls run through their cheer while waiting for reserve cheerleader tryouts to begin. 26 Cadet Fans Enthusiastically Support Their Teams One little, two little, three little- The (. ' l eer ttst . ' Once again, Concordians appeared at stadiums and gyms to cheer the football and basketball teams in victory and defeat. The enthusiasm, good sportsmanship, and energetic support displayed by the students upheld school spirit and the good name of Concordia High in our community. United in faith we competed agamst many teams, always reflecting our Christian training while enjoying the fun and excitement of another hard-fought game.

Parties With teenagers of our own faith, many school sponsored parties were held during the year. These included the P. T. A. record hops; the colorful Holi- day Dance; the impressive ' Moonlight «k Roses ; and the Prom, ending another school year. Who can forget the dancing, eating, and enjoyable entertainment at these and our various class parties? The Kings provide live music for our Moon- light and Roses dance. Seniors Leave Concordia With Mixed Feelings Hemeiiiber L. Rathjen helps D. Rugenstein with a troublesome collar on cap and gown day. Really, Keith and Jim have made great progress since their fresh- man year. Our senior year has come and nearly gone. With mixed feelings we look to the time when we must say good-bye to the classrooms and halls of Concordia forever. Perhaps we will come back again, but only to visit and recall fond memories; memories of our first days as fresh- men, our first Sadie Hawkins Day, our class par- ties, the Junior-Senior Prom, and the day we saw a girl from our own class crowned queen. Games and sportsmanship played a big part in our de- velopment. Never will we forget the thrill when the Sportsmanship Trophy was wheeled into the gym during a pep session. And looking back we will most of all be thankful for the fine Chris- tian education we have received to prepare us for our future years. Concordia, we say Thank you and good-bye. For the last time before they part, the senior class gathers to wor- ship together. -31 32 — Organizations Concordia has extra-curricular activities for students with almost any interest. This year, for example, a new camera club was started and a dark room built for those interested in photo- graphy. These clubs help a student become well rounded by encouraging him to associate and work with others on projects in which they are mutually interested. 33 Student Council Governs Cadets Above are pictured the members of the Student Council, the student Roverning- body of Concordia. The Student Council, sponsored by Mr. R. Buls, is composed of the four officers, the class presi- dents, and the liome room representatives. Wliile trying to satisfy the students ' needs, the council has also undertaken several worthwhile projects: the adoption of the Japanese orphan, the home room mission offerings, and the Christmas Bureau food and clothing collections. In addition, the council has tried to further encourage student participation in school activities. This past year has proven to be highly successful for the Student Council. The I Iath Club, newly organized this year, had a good start with a remarkably high membership. The mathematicians of our school met during activity periods in order to further their math interest and education. The Club is under the sponsorship of Mr. Daniel.

Cadets who earn a letter in sports activities are entitled to membership in the Lettermen ' s The Lettermen ' s Club is composed of boys who have participated in one of the major or min- or sports such as basketball, football, track, cross country, baseball, tennis, or golf. This year the lettermen undertook such projects as car washes and the sale of Concordia sweat shirts. The pro- fits from these projects helped to defray costs on letter jackets. Mr. Koch is the club sponsor. The Junior Red Cross has worked together with the school to supply the helping hands and hearts to aid the less fortunate and to promote understanding and friendship in the community. Besides cheering those at the Children ' s Home and Veteran ' s Hospital with tray favors, the Jun- ior Red Cross conducted the school-wide can dri e for needy families.

The Librarians ' Club is a group which aids in the running of our school library. The mem- bers help check books in and out, file necessary items, find books for confused students, generally keep track of our completee book stock, and dust the shelves. While being of service to the school, the members also learn the system used in librar- ies throughout the country. This could be a great help in finding summer or permanent employ- ment. Mr. E. Meyer sponsors the Projectionist Club and instructs students in the proper opera- tion and careful maintenance of various audio- visual machines. The members of their club serve the school and faculty as operation projectors and recorders. David Muhlenbruck is president of th e club this year. The projectionists aid teachers with audio visual equipment. - 41 - Drama Club ' s Offerings Were Greatly Enjoyed By Students u Above are pictured the members of the Drama Club The Drama Club is composed of students interested in acting and the various other phases involved in the presentation of a play, especially scenery, make-up, and props.

Our band provided the special zip so nec- essary for our pep sessions, football and basketball games, and special school functions. The band ' s performances were not only pleasant to the ear, but also eye-catching since the mem- bers have new uniforms. Mr. D. Marsh is the band instructor and Mr. D. Schult directs the band at the games. L. Bauermeister and S. Bozer show off the new band uniforms. ,7 ' - rff Aliove are pictured members of the band. -44 - The Choir And Blazers Sing To The Glorv Of God Above is pictured the A cappella Choir A service to our Savior, self, and community — this is the specific purpose of the choral groups at Concordia. Singing- the salvation by the Woi-d is their primary function. The two groups enriched the church services conducted at Concordia High School and also those at area churches. The choristers performed before civic organizations and on the air. The male section of the choir, known as The Blazers, is now in its third year and is much in demand. Both groups are under the direction of Mr. C. Henke. Sing along with Mark Above are pictured the Blazers, who sing both secular and sacred music. -45- G. A. A. And Rifle Team Members Gain Skill And Coordination Members ot the Girls ' Athletic Association are pictured above. The G. A. A., an active club at Concordia, helps stimulate interest in games, sports, and so- cial activities. It helps to develop and to promote the ideals of Christianity ajid sportsmanship. Each member is trying hard to gain the prized numerals and letter. This is done by receiving points for various activities done individually and together as a group. This year the organization was so large that it had to be split into two sec- tions: freshmen and seniors met together and sophomores and juniors met together. The two groups joined, however, for such activities as ice skating. Mrs. Retrum is the sponsor of the group. Our rifle team once more engaged in a suc- cessful season competing with teams from various schools in Indiana. The team consists of Cadets from all four classes. At the end of each season the five members showing the highest individual scores are av.arded letters. This year the team was under the direction of J. Ohnesorge. Pictured lelt to right are rifle team members- Hunt, and T. Werling. -J. Ohnesore, T T. Hunt tires at a target in the rifle range. 46 Snap Squad, Officers Club Work Hard For Military Dept.

The Snap Squad, a department of the Military Program, performs at numerous exhibitions, pa- rades, and basketball and football games. The group, under the direction of Major Tom Huge, consists of twelve members and two alternates. After tryouts held in the fall, a board of officers selects the best-drilled cadets to form the Snap Squad. Any sophomore, junior, or senior is eligible. The main purpose of the Military Officers ' Club is to promote the more efficient operation of the military battalion. It consists of those Cadets having a rank of Master-Sergeant or higher. The president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer must be elected to office by a majority vote of the club members. Only seniors may hold the office of president and vice-president whereas a junior may also be elected secretary-treasurer. Bottom row: Lt. Col. Van Oosten, 1st Sgt. Bums, 1st Lt. Gugel, 2nd Sgt.

Competition with other schools brought out a strong feeling of school spirit. Students of Concordia, however, should, and did, show a special type of school spirit. Their Christian training led to a high de- gree of good sportsmanship, both among the team and among the student body. The athletes co- operated in an unselfish team spirit while the .stu- dents supported and cheered them through vic- tory and defeat. 49- Varsity Gridders Have Winning Season Bottom Row: B. Young, J.

But despite the discouragements, we won several impressive games such as the one against South Side. Our boys really did a good job. We were sorry to hear that Coach Mader will not be with us next year, and we wish him the best of luck. 54 Cadet Roundball Team Places Third In N.E.I.C. K.

Cross Country is the branch of track in which contestants run a two mile prescribed course over an ungraded trail. Excellent endurance is neces- sary, and therefore training and practice are a year-round prerequisite. The team is under the direction of Mr. Reinking. The track team consists of all field events. These include: running, jumping, vaulting, hurd- ling, and shot-putting. These vigorous sports take much time, effort, and practice on the participa- tors ' part. As our third major sport, track also needs the backing of our student body. The mem- bers of the team are continually trying to break previously set records which are posted on the third floor corridor and achieve new goals. This spring sport is coached by Mr. W. Koch. Under the capable coaching of Mr. Daniel, the golf team competes against other conference teams in meets and golf sectionals. The golf team swings into action in the spring and ends the year with a golf tournament. Below are pictured members of the cross country team. 58 Teams Looked Forward To A Successful Season This Spring. 3 These cross country team members are all suited up for a warm-up session. This skillful group of cadets, under the direction of Mr. Reinking, competed with other city and area schools and brought additional honor and recognition to Concordia by winning the City Tennis Championship. These spirited boys are looking forward to a good year with the return of last years lettermen. Concordia has its share of America ' s favorite sport, baseball. The season is short but players found it busy. As the season got underway, the team looked forward to a winning season and hoped for lots ol homers. So we admit it ' s an old picture, but would you have missed it for the world? -59 The Varsity And Reserve Cheerleaders Take The Lead In. . . V-A-R-S-I-T-Y — Come on — YELL! The four varsity cheerleaders led the student body and spectators in boosting the varsity football and basketball teams on to victory. Last spring, as previously the four girls were chosen by the student body after leading them in a cheer; however, starting with next year, they will be chosen by a committee of teachers, the four class presidents, the stu- dent council president, and the head cheer- leader. The varsity cheerleaders are Sara Baals, captain; Cheri Lehman, Janice Stauf- fer, and Anita Franz. Varsity Cheerleaders - J. Staufler, C. Lehman, S Baals, and A.

Stein, Custodian, stops his work to have his picture taken. Concordia could not get along without the aid of our office ladies and custodians. Many stu- dents see our office workers only when they are giving us change, taking our tuition money, or leaving notes that our mothers have called. This is only the surface of their work, however; the filing and paper work needed to run our school is in their hands. The janitors are responsibl e for keeping the school clean and in tip-top shape. During the day, Mr. D. Stein performs minor repair jobs neces- sary. After school he is joined by C. Bender in cleaning up for the next day. On Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings K. Bender also joins the cleaning brigade. Our thanks to our office workers and custo- dians! Mrs. L. Roemke and Mrs. A. Masenthin are always on duty to serve you. 104 Mr. O. Bender, the night custodian, cleans a classroom for the next day ' s use. These students are being serenaded by the Blazers. K. Gill shows oft her twirling skill. The combined bands ot Fort Wayne, Cleveland, and Detroit thrille ' d the au- dience at the Tri-City Music Festival. Beautiful Christmas decorations by the art department added to the spirit of Christmas. Tom, Steve, and Diane added their number to the .school musical, Sticks and Stones.
