I Mr. Westrick explains God ' s Word in God s world to a senior religious class. re gion- feb ood of concord a spirit of christian discipleship Concordia, harmony to Latin students, means something special to all here. We have a more close- ly knit student body than larger schools, a concerned and caring faculty, teachers who take the time to know their pupils and this all stems from religion. Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6. This could be the motto of Concordia ' s religion de- partment. The challenge is to make religion interest- ing and to inspire students to lead a more spiritual life.

They are our secretaries: Mrs. Roemke, Mrs. Masenthin, and Mrs. Wiegman. Could you have imagined our school this year without nourishing hot lunches? Would you have liked to sit in a classroom that was never swept? Think of the difficulties that would have arisen from not hav- ing anyone to take tuition, make appointments, and do paperwork. The jobs are filled by our cooks, cus- todians, and secretaries. They not only work efficient- ly, but also have endeared themselves to students and teachers by their cheerful, friendly attitudes. We owe these people our thanks for making Concordia a more pleasant school for everyone. Hard work and friendly smiles ore the passwords of these fa- miliar men. They are, of course, our custodians: Mr. Stein, Mr. Grewe, Mr. Eicher, and Mr. Bultemeier.

They are taught marksmanship on our modern rifle range, also marching and drill through weeks of practice during Battalion Hour. The school owes its unique nickname to our cad- ets. We might well have been the Concordia Panthers for want of a better name. Concordia is the only school to offer the equiva- lent of a year of college ROTC. Although New Hav- en is in the beginning stages of a similar naval pro- gram, Concordia can point with pride to a record reaching back 60 years. And the cadets go marching along. . . out of step.
