Zi- ffle officers ' shouts are a cadets command All cadets learn basic rules of military respect and courtesy. 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. An experienced sophomore class snaps through a rifle dril Looked to for leadership - Col. Van Oosten, Terry Hudson, Mark Weber, Mike Weimer.

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. Pastor Beckman, Mr. Westrick, Mr. Howard, and Mr. Buetow are not the only people who teach reli- gion at Concordia. Every teacher and student should be a walking textbook on Christianity in practice. Let us all be fishers of men. The Hebrews really did understand these funny little scrawls. ' Mr. Howard waits expectantly for a profound answer. Must the students pile, pile, pile it on? 22

Mr. Ihssen gives a satisfied smile after a stimulating hour of junior English is his class. c.l.h.s. students have novel experiences in english A main objective of the English program this year is growth in orderly thinking and its adequate expression. Students taking a course in speech learn that giving a speech is not just standing before a class and saying a lot of words for a period of minutes. Another aspect of English is reading Shakespeare and acting it out with puppets. This year the bookstore and library contain books well worth reading. Wether it be hard or paperback, your reading it should be well worth it. After a hard but satisfying day, Mrs. Knoblauch is ready to leave the hallowed halls of Concordia. A love-in? A hippy protest? No. . . Miss Hempfing ' s speech class is only practicing another of their dramas. Once again Mr. Jordan keeps his senior class spellbound with an exciting talk on English. These students study another interesting aspect of sophomore literature. 24
