The English Department Smile, Mr. Ihssen, you ' re on Candid Camera! Mrs. Knoblauch clears up the mysteries of the English language. The English department provides the students with knowledge they will use everyday of their lives. The classes center around grammar, literature, and creative writing. There are two divisions in senior English: one for those preparing to enter college and one for those seeking a business career. No matter which field is chosen, a solid background in English will help students to attain their goals. Mrs. K. refers students to her indispensible aid--the dictionary. A puzzled frosh receives help from an authority on the English language Senior English students absorb some of Mr. Jordan ' s literary knowledge. 18

The Religion Department Concordia offers four years of religion, which is a primary reason for the students to enroll. Each year a different aspect of religion is studied. Freshmen learn about the Old Testament, while sophomores study the New Testament. A back- ground in church history is given to juniors, and the seniors take up the basic Christian doctrines and Christian living. The important knowledge gained in the religion classes will provide Con- cordia students with a goal and a direction for life. A memorable event was the installation of Mr. Parrish, Mr. Sievert, and Mr. Dockweiler. With the help of Rev. Oldsen, students interpret the meaning of Bible passage. When questions arise, Mr. Timm is olways willing to help bewildered freshmen find the answers. Rev. Oldsen assists a student in her assignment, while the rest of the class diligently studies. 17

The Foreign Language Department Even Latin can be fun when some- one makes an amusing transla- tion. German II students wonder why EVERYONE doesn ' t speck plain, ole, simple English. Concordia offers a three-year course in Latin, directed by Mrs. S. Miller, and also a three-year course in Ger- man, taught by Mr. E. Falkenstern. These courses are offered with the hope that the students will take this opportunity to acquaint themselves with the language of our foreign neighbors. Living in an age of crisis, OS we ore at the present, it is good that our future citizens have some understanding of these foreign pow- ers. The class v atches and takes notes as Mr. Falk- enstern explains new material. Mr. Falkenstern ' s better than a book when it comes to answering German questions. - 19-
