The Reverend Peter A. Zadeik, Jr., Principal Now just wait a minute, are you sure about that? ' 11 .1, p.z. - a guide to our goals Social Scientists tell us that the most effective human behaviour is goal-directed. Certainly it is the mark of the maturing individual that he establish cer- tain goals or objectives for himself and then direct his efforts and energies toward the realization of those goals. This is an important trait that you should acquire in your high school days — to learn to set worthy goals for yourself and work diligently toward them. It is no secret that the young people who are most successful in high school, who get the most out of their four years of education, are those who are goal-directed. At times some of your personal goals may be very immediate: getting an A in that Plane Geometry test, making the cheerleading squad, landing a part in the school play. Others are long-range ones: ob- taining your driver ' s license or a car of your own, getting a good paying secretary ' s job, meriting a scholarship to college. The principle, however, re- mains the same: you set your goal and then you plan and work accordingly. The tricky part, of course, comes in setting the right goals and then finding the right means of at- taining them. By right goals I mean goals right for you, realistic goals, attainable goals, goals that match and even stretch your talents and potential, as well as goals that are morally and ethically correct. And the right means again implies right for you and right in God ' s sight. Hopefully your experience here at Concordia, whether it has been one year or four year duration, has enabled you to understand yourself better, to develop useful skills, to know more fully the will of God and the power of His Spirit in your life. For then you will set firmly on the path towards that highest of goals, to live in eternal life with Him whom you now see to follow only dimly. 14

Mr. Guenther Herzog helps seniors answer the question, Where am I counselors show concern for problems of students Counselors help students to set their goals and attain them. Their jobs are as varied as the students they counsel. They help freshmen adjust to a new en- vironment, they advise students on what courses they should take, and they help poor students form better study habits. The counselors also aid seniors in mak- ing a decision on their future vocation. Most impor- tant of all, however, the counselors realize that each student is an individual and must be treated as such. Concordia counselors have a special understanding instilled with Gods love. Attendance records are ably kept by Mr. Carl Gallmeier. Freshman orientation is handled by Mr. Glenn Parrish , counseling for girls by Mrs. Karen Blank, and counseling for juniors by Pastor William Beckmann. 15
