Hopefully the answer is the former but many students began to wonder this year. Actually the answer probably lies some- where between the two extremes since some people could point to many worthless Monday meetings while others, at the same time, could em- phasize its accomplishments, such as the Mexican Children ' s Project, the new Week of Discovery, and the suc- cessful planning of the annual social events. In other words, S. C. could undoubtedly have been better but it did do many worthwhile projects.

Concordia ' s first Week of Discovery offered many opportunities for students and faculty to discover a variety of topics interesting but perhaps unknown to them. People from throughout the Ft. Wayne area came to inform us on subjects that ranged from bridge to judo and karate, with such things as gourmet cooking, marriage counselling and transcendental meditation in be- tween. Extra-Curricular Organizations Are Involvement The Latin Club, German Club, Y-Teens, and Drama Club were involved in num- erous activities of self development, concern for others, and even the entertainment of others. The German (LOWER LEFT) and Latins Clubs put forth a great effort to enrich their abili- ties in a foreign language. The Latin Club (UPPER RIGHT) went even fur- ther by contributing to another success- ful Latin Banquet at the end of the year. The Y-Teens (MIDDLE LEFT) and Drama Club (LOWER RIGHT) have also been active in their help to the children of the State School and hos- pitals of the area. Both clubs have con- tributed greatly in entertaining child- ren. New thoughts and feelings have opened to a greater number of students through the activities and projects of the Debate Club, Thespian Club, Ski Club, and Afro- American Club. Activities in these clubs have ranged from competitive and quick-witted discussion by the Debate Club to playful fun on the snow-covered slopes by the Ski Club. Activities by these groups have included such things as follows: the small Debate Club (UPPER LEFT) has participated in competi- tive debates between various schools during the entire school year; the National Thespian Society (UPPER RIGHT) was involved in pro- ducing and putting on a number of plays throughout the season; the Ski Club (MIDDLE RIGHT) undertook a number of exciting and fun-filled ski trips; and also the Afro-Ameri- can Club (LOWER RIGHT) cannot be forgotten with their exciting Afro-American Week.

Milo Can Be Fun As an all-volunteer ROTC program drew near for Concordia, the various military clubs took on increasing im- portance this year. These organizations, from the Snap Squad to Girls ' Drill Team, comprised the backbone of CLHS ' s military department. Within these groups the interested Cadet was able to go beyond the average classroom instruction and into the more exciting phases of military, such as rifle and drill team competitions. Concordia sported three different drill teams this year, all operating on separate levels of difficulty. The Freshmen Drill Team concentrated entirely on marching, while the Precision Drill Team utilized the basic rifle movements in their performances. As usual, the elite Snap Squad used compli- cated yet precise maneuvers in their crowd- pleasing exhibitions. The sharpshooting members of the Rifle Team won its matches regularly this year. Music to march by was provided by another important club, the Drum and Bugle Corps. CLHS ' s fine Girls ' Drill Team also gave interested Concordia girls the chance to participate in many exhibitions and competitions. Caot. Warren Imbody commanded the Rifle Team. Led by Capt. Cliff Kibellus, the Snap Squad performs in a drill meet. The members of the NCO Club are in charge of training the squads 21 John Marable performs wth the skilled Snap Squad. On May 17, 1972, Concor- dia ' s ROTC held their annu- al Military Tournament at Zollner Stadium. Awards were given to outstanding squads and individuals for this year ' s performance. Pro- motions also were announced for the men of our upcoming school year. Jeff Fisher was named as the Cadet Lt. Col. for ' 72- ' 73 and the next two top positions were filled by Majors Dan Conner and Melvin Tucker. Capt.

Tim Heine as he contemplates life in Summertree Drama — People Relating Happiness, Sadness and Wisdom The Drama Department practiced hard, memorized faithfully, and literally went through blood, sweat and tears to transmit their feelings across to the audience. Some of the feelings and messages were those of a young man as he searches for himself in Summer- tree, those of a young girl as she faces womanhood in Member of the Wedding, and the message of hap- piness and sadness of childhood in You ' re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Special recognition should be given to You ' re a Good Man, Charlie Brown as it was one of the best musicals Concordia has ever seen and may ever see. We give many thanks to these dedicated people who sacrificed much to offer their time, and especially, their talents to provide entertainment for all.- Childhood Dreams Come to Life The Toy Box produced a world filled with witches, Rumpelstilskin, and magic carpets, making child- hood fantasies come to life. Often we get obsessed with providing en- tertainment only for our own enjoy- ment. This year ' s Toy Box produc- tions brightened the lives of over 1000 children, and those who par- ticipated shared again in the joys of being a child. p I t - Peek-a-boo Staying in character, Rumpelstilskin delights the children.

Debbie ' s lovely court consisted of seniors Connie Hambrock and Cathi Nieter and juniors Becky Gentile and Donna Zettel- mier. After the coronation the enthusiastic student body and the returning alumni were entertained by The Ri- tual and all agreed it was a night which would be re- membered for a long time. 37 Maddy-JohnJenniTonyRoniButchSusieAlDeniseandMike string along for some fun in an impromptu polka! Christmas Dance Revives Spirit of Bygone Years Enchantment reigned on the night of December 18, 1971, when the warmth of the old-fashioned mingled with the magic of the contemporary to create a charming atmosphere for many happy guys and gals. The gala event was festively adorned with Christmas trees (popcorn strings and all!), old silhouetted panels, and even an antique sleigh! Romantic music and dancing high- lighted a perfectly delightful evening and pro- vided sweet dreams never to be forgotten. .

Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Doug Buuck was Master of Ceremonies with special guest speaker Mr. Allen Bloom. Other honored guests included the Her- zogs, Clendenens, Millers, and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Nieter.

It was not only the main promoter of enthusiasm at sporting events, but also a service or- ganization to the high school. Anything from playing at the state school to organizing ensembles to assist in chapel was included in their activities. Mr. Sievert, their jolly director, loves his students, and he loves his work, so there could be nothing but success for him. With such a set-up, how could Band do anything but thrive?

Orchestra and Woodwinds Prepare for Fine Season A musician ' s work is never done! Even after putting in practice time for varsity band, the orches- tra and woodwind ensemble had to find time to rehearse. Per- forming music of a more classical nature, they practiced regularly in order to prepare for various concerts, performances, and of course, the Tri-City Music Festival. Concordia can certainly be proud of these special groups and their intense dedication. Sb ft ry  i : : H | A % : H Cadet Band Learns the Ins and Outs of Technique Work, Satisfaction, and Bis bee Produce Much Excitement in Striving to Achieve Excellence The word excitement can be many different things to many different people. To the A Cappella Choir, the word was most likely the fruit of long hours of hard work. Of course the instigator of this newly discovered excitement was Concordia ' s new choral director, Mr. Bud Wayne Bis- bee. Fresh from Los Angeles with years of experience, he was by no means a novice upon stepping into the realms of the CLHS music depart- ment. Mr. Bisbee immediately proved himself the master of any challenge; he can con- quer anything from poor acous- tics to pitch problems. Mr. Bisbee feels he has a great advantage in conducting choral music because of the rapport which develops between teach- er and student. One cannot survive and produce without the other, and a working re- lationship must exist. He oper- ates on the conviction that the satisfaction of work and accomplishment is the key re- ward in striving for excellence. In short, Mr. Bisbee has shown the choir the highest form of excitement and achievement possible, and they, along with him, turn their eyes toward a swiftly approaching future of even greater fulfillment.

Their enthusiasm with Mr. Bisbee ' s creativity increased the popu- larity of the well-known group. They have performed for audiences of the Summit Club as well as Lutheran grade schools. The Swingers are not merely charm though, for beneath that happy exterior lies a deep root of talent and vocal ability which Mr. Bisbee has developed to a fine degree. How could such a combination help but appeal to the young at heart? Chamber Singers: New Dimension of Vocal Music Perhaps the most important addi- tion to the CLHS music depart- ment this year was the Chamber Singers. This group was originated by Mr. Bisbee, with sixteen people being chosen to comprise the ta- lented ensemble. They immediately began to develop a suitable re- pertoire of music. After listening to the Chamber Singers, it is obvious that their early morning and Monday evening rehearsals reaped enjoyable results. Choruses Work to Improve Thru Vocal Training It didn ' t take long to real- ize that Mr. Bisbee is music, and music is Mr. Bisbee, for expansions and revisions were constant activities in the music department. This year ' s Girl ' s Chorus was the first of the academic additions. The students of both the Girl ' s Chorus and the Mixed Chorus were taught the basis of proper vocal and choral technique. They per- formed at the annual Christ- mas Concert and then conclud- ed the year with the Spring Concert. Both evenings were the highlights of the year and valuable experiences for the two groups.

Dave Humphreys Craig ' s mother placed the plastic Santa Claus on the table explaining that she put up a new decoration every day before the 25th because it helped her boys to discover something new about Christmas every day. Craig was staring intently at the little Santa, and I looked at it to see what brought such a look of wonder to Craig ' s face. It was just a plastic figure that lit up when it was plugged in, and it was exactly like thousands of other Christmas Santas. Suddenly Craig turned around, Lookit, Mommy! he exclaimed, Santa ' s got a light on his head! Don ' t he look pretty? He didn ' t see the chipped red paint, the frayed golden tass- les, or the cracks in St. Nick ' s bag of toys. All that Craig saw was the shining something which put the glow in Santa ' s face.

The sergeant said he died with bravery, And got the silver cross, post humously. He said, Your brother died with honor, And we captured the hill we were fighting for. But in his grave my brother couldn ' t see Who had won the victory. My brother did not die in vain, you said? Sergeant, what does that change? My brother ' s dead! Well, here ' s to you, dear Uncle Sam, You murdered my brother and don ' t give a damn Whether or not he meant the world to me. To you he ' s just another number, just another casualty. And hey now, America, Home of the Brave, What gives you the right to put my brother in his grave? And people in Congress say, Gee, that ' s too bad, But things like that must happen if war ' s to be had. And he did die to save democracy. It makes me sick to hear such hypocracy! Those people don ' t care if my brother dies or gets hurt. What ' s important is that we capture that mound of dirt. I looked at tonight ' s paper and my blood boiled red, For there in black letters the headlines read, THE WAR IS COMING TO AN END GOOD TIMES ARE HERE AGAIN! (anonymous) GHETTO CHILD Ah, what a flower I found in the shadows, rooted deeply in the unyielding flowerpot of concrete. Strangly enough though, it will grow, basking in neon sunshine, sheltered by walls that crawl to the sky, grow into an existance of existing, and giving life to other flowers. How sad it must be to see a field full of these flowers and say they all look the same when each is unique and special . . . and beautiful. Tracee Zwick If you reached out to me again, I would gently clasp your hand as I did the first time and the second time. And if you walked away from me again the third time, I would only wait for the next time when you ' d reach out to me. I would spend my life waiting for your occasional touches.

Our neighbor ' s dog ate our paper. They said get up earlier. Go to work. They seem to think all we do is think grave thoughts and laugh at the Establishment. The dog kept eating the paper, so I rented a shotgun to scare him off. The terrified dog never came back, but the neighbors did, breathing hard, and ate the paper themselves to set us straight and to save the world from crackpots. And, when it ' s night I prowl our neighbor ' s doorstep and devour their dreams.

Al- though the team did not sport an individual star, it did have what it takes to win cross country meets — good balance and con- ! sistancy. A large part of this bal- ance was provided by seniors Doug Snyder and Dave Wesche, and juniors Thorn Sauer and Steve Hermann. The results of the post season meets were disap- pointing but not discouraging, es- pecially in the Lutheran Postal Meet which the Cadets lost by only two points.

With an abundance of talent, ex- perience, and determina- tion, the netmen complete- ly dominated the surround- ing area teams and easily compiled a 12-0 regular season record. Under the skillful direction of Coach Reinking. they went on to win the NEIAC Tour- nament and the Sectionals by huge margins with Don and Art Scherer winning both double tour- naments with little trou- ble. Due to sectional cham- pion Luke Grossman ' s se- cond place finish in singles and the Scherer Brothers ' doubles victory, the Cadets also captured the Regional crown. The Scherers con- tinued on to the State Finals where they wound up losing for the first time and eventually plac- ing a very respectalbe third. accumulating e- nough points in the com- plicated scor ing system to give the team a tie for the runner-up position in State.

First in Irish Invitational Highlights Season The 1971-72 basketball season was one filled with excitement and ex- pectations, and marked with both suc- cess and failure. Although blessed with talent and good experience, the Cadets could never seem to put it all together consistently. Concordia finished with a mediocre 11-10 record, but it was evident in most of the games that the Cadet Cagers were capable of playing ball with almost anyone. An excellent example of the varsity ' s true strength was shown in its sweep of the Irish Tourney. Three stalwart seniors, Tom Berning, Ron Glusenkamp, and Barry Light, led the Cadet attack, with Tom Crum giving valuable assistance. Several underclass- men, most notably Mike Berning and Eugene Parker also played vital roles this season. On offense or defense All City Forward Tom Berning is consistently great.

Promising Freshmen and Sophs Compile Winning Records Freshmen coach Art Pinnow ' s string of winning seasons was extended this year, as his frosh team scrambled to a good 11-7 record. Once again, much of its success was due to the members of the newly added squad enjoyed immediate suc- cess under Coach Massucci as they compiled an excellent 12-2 seasonal mark. In future years the C-team will be a fine hustle and spirit the squad definite advantage for both re- Ward work in practice pays off in the showed throughout the season. Following the lead of many city high schools, Concordia ' s athletic department reorganized its basketball team set-up this year with the addition of an all sophomore C-team. The serve and varsity teams for more underclassmen will have the chance to play ball and gain experience. Adding a fourth team also opened up the re- serve squad to juniors for the first time.

By the same token, a few reserve players also received the chance to dress varsity for each of its games. Coach Reinking ' s well- balanced reserve squad also posted a winning season with a 12-6 record. The reserves were particularly adept at nerve- wracking finishes. Several of their victories were the re- sult of their last minute drives. Juniors Spark Reserve Squad Ron Knox pops a short one in against the Hornets.

With a solid, experienced group of lightweights as a nucleus, Coach Wild Bill Ihssen set out to find those boys who could do the job in the heavier divisions and in no time flat developed a good team that got even better as the season progressed. An individual bright spot for the grapplers was captain Harry McGinnis, a Sec- tional and Conference champ. Next year ' s hope is for an even more successful season.

Cadets Tie forN.E.I.C. Champ An NEIC co-championship, the set- ting of many individual school records, and a milestone for the well-liked coach, Mr. Massucci, (100 coaching vic- tories) highlighted the baseball season. Although fighting a heavy schedule which included as many as six games a week, the Cadets usually proved equal to the occasion by getting a lot of good hitting and pitching from a number of individuals. Despite a midseason slump they posted a very good 17-8 record, including a 7-2 conference slate tying them for first place with New Haven. Next year promises many more vic- tories for Mr. Massucci ' s already im- pressive total. 1972 BASEBALL CADETS 11 Angola 1 CADETS . 2 Central Catholic 10 CADETS 2 Fairview, Ohio 1 CADETS 13 Parkway, Ohio 9 CADETS Elm hurst 4 CADETS .5 Central Catholic 6 CADETS 14 Huntington 4 CADETS 6 Warsaw 2 CADETS 11 Angola CADETS 6 East Noble j CADETS 2 South Adams 3 CADETS 5 Heritage 3 CADETS 3 DeKalb 1 CADETS 5 Garrett 4 CADETS 6 Bluffton 4 CADETS 10 South Side CADETS 7 North Side 4 CADETS 1 New Haven CADETS 6 Wayne CADETS 1 Columbia City 5 CADETS 1 Northrop 3 CADETS 5 Bellmont 2 CADETS Snider Sectionals 5 CADETS 5 Central Catholic 1 CADETS Northrop 10 Steady Improvement ' ■ Marks Difficult Season Under the guidance of new head coach Craig Hoffman, the varsity track squad compiled a com- mendable 8-9 record against some of the state ' s toughest competition.

I ■ Members of the baseball team present plaques to coaches Massucci and Ander- son in honor of their hundredth baseball victory. Three Banquets highlight Year ' s Athletic Activities The Concordia sports depart- ment disposed of its tradition of one annual sports banquet and instead had three through- out the year. There was one in the fall, winter, and spring to recognize the athletes of the major sports divisions. Despite the bantor between coaches, the potluck suppers provided fun for everyone as numerous let- termen and participants were honored. After lettering nine times, Tom Berning received a blanket, the highest award given, and coaches Massucci and Anderson were each awarded plaques from the baseball team commemorating their hundred- th victory at CLHS. GAA Sponsors the Annual Cadet Reverse Hayride Whether it was volleyball, basketball, track, or softball. the girls of the GAA this year again proved their ath- letic ability to the school and the surrounding area.

A ► r mr. herzog administrators secretaries janitors cooks faculty staff quiz Commander-in- Chief at Work With the tremendous advan- ces in all fields of knowledge and the critical issues rising to contrast our society, Con- cordia students, faculty, and ad- visors must keep up with the rest of the world. The men pictured on this page dedicated their time and efforts to doing exactly that. Again Principal Guenther Herzog led the stu- dent body through another year of changes in their striving to attain a better educational at- mosphere. Helping him to per- form his tasks were the Board of Directors pictured below. The Board met various times during the year to exchange ideas on the best policies for the Concordia family. Leadership was the key word of Concordia ' s able administra- tion. At those hectic times, Cadet supervision was always an all-out, full-time effort. The Cadet answermen kept peace at Concordia as a whole, and more important, they encour- aged each student to be at peace with himself. Among his duties. Rev. William Beckmann advised Student Council. When asked how this job helped him to understand the young- er generation he replied, Through Student Council I ' ve learned to know many differ- ent personalities. Serving Concordians as Dean of Students was Mr. Glenn Parrish. When not writing his famous excuse slips, Mr. Parrish en- joys fishing. If teaching wouldn ' t have been his life ' s work, selling would ' ve been his second choice. Mr. Carl Gallmeier, what ' s so different about Concordia that xou particularly like? The students are willing to accept teachers as individuals and partners in the educational process. School Administrators Demonstrate Democracy this-is-a-recording . beep Uh, what are you doing after class? 4fl The Vital Workers Behind the Scene Concordia students owe a great deal of thanks to the people pic- tured on this page, for they are the workers behind the scene who keep this school running efficiently. CLHS secretaries Mrs. Breininger, Mrs. Roemke, Mrs. Massenthin, and Mrs. Graft handled the school ' s paperwork quickly and effectively. Meanwhile, Concordia ' s fine cafeteria staff offered a wide variety of lunches to keep the hard working students and faculty on the go. The cooks pictured are (sitting) Mrs. Paschka, Head Cook Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Stein, Mrs. Macke, (standing) Mrs. Lang, Mrs. Weisheit, Mrs. Bredemeyer, Mrs. Zick, and Mrs. Kruse. Also, a big word of thanks goes to the hard working custodians, Mr. Stein, Mr. Kalthoff, and Mr. Roden- beck, who wage a constant war on litter in our hallways. Faculty Works for Bette Student-Teacher Relationships An easy-going guy who is easy to get to know and even easier to like. Mr. Anderson has to be one of the friendliest and most sincere members of the faculty. The weal- th of warm, person- able relationships and a genuine concern for one another are what he seems to most en- joy about his mission at CLHS. When he ' s not teaching or coach- ing, he gets his great- est joys out of reading, planning, and talking with the students. Mr. Jon Anderson: Chem- istry. Adianced Science. Applied Science Although Mr. Baack has always been con- sidered a good teacher in his many years at Concordia, he is un- doubtedly much bet- ter known for his ac- complishments in the area of sports — and rightly so. A conser- vative, diligent, hard- working man, our re- tiring Athletic Direc- tor deserves much of the credit for the suc- cessful Zollner Sta- dium complex as well as the growth and ef- ficiency of th e entire Athletic Department. Certainly, a job well done! Mr. Lester Baack: Geo- graphy of the Americas. World Geography, Earth Sciences A transplant from L.A. where he taught for nine years, Mr. Bisbee has become a welcome addition to the Concordia faculty. Considered a perfec- tionist by many, he always strives for the highest of quality and apparently reached it judging by the excel- lent sound of the A Cappella this year. The fact that he has a grand piano in his trailer home gives one a pretty good idea of how much music means to him. Mr. B. Wayne Bisbee: Chorus. A capella. Funda- mentals of Music Our highly quali- fied, personable, new Athletic Director com- men ted on the chal- lenges le forsees in his new job I have always viewed athle- tics as an excellent lab for OUI religion classes. I see my greatest challenge in having a program whereby each athlete, now or per laps ten years hence, will see himself bett er equip- fed to meet life and to see his personal life in Christ strength- ened as a result of his coaches and team- mates. Mr. Ed card Brackman: General Math, Algebra I, Physical Educat on T 1 a 4 XS h | V Their Concern Has Captured the Confidence of the Students If ever there was a teacher who could be considered one of the guys, it has to be the Milwaukwee Madman, Mr. Braun. When asked to ex- plain his popularity with the students, he replied, I ' m not sure. It ' s probably because I ' m young and beau- tiful . . . and they don ' t know any better. Had Mr. Braun not channeled his ener- gies into the teaching profession, he says he would probably have become either a cow- boy, mounted police- man, fur trader, farm- er, forest ranger, or millionaire. Although slowed up I by an extended term in the hospital, Capt. Clendened quickly came back to continue his effective control | of the Military Depart- ment. A man who takes an active part in Concordia life, the Captain seems gen- uinely concerned a- bout the success of the military program at Concordia. Be- cause of this, he has been willing to make a number of signifi- cant changes for the betterment of the de- partment and must be commended for his open-mindedness and foresight. Mrs. Crownover, an underclassmen coun- selor as well as a tea- cher, said that she us- ually prefers the one- to-one relationship found in the Guidance Office more than tea- ching. The opportunity to help a person plan some goals for future living is a very satis- fying feeling and can generally be accom- plished better in the office than in the reg- ular classroom. Some days, however, I feel much has been accom- plished in the typing class so I feel teaching is great too. Having lived in Germany during his childhood, Mr. Falk- enstern is one Ameri- can who really appre- ciates living here. Al- though he enjoyed vis- iting his homeland four years ago as an exchange teacher, he still likes the United States much better and realizes the count- less opportunities one has in our country. Reading, writing, and fixing things take up many of Mr. Falken- stern ' s leizure hours. He also enjoys camp- ing and participating in various types of sporting events. Mr. James Braun: U.S. History, World History Capt. Homer Clendenen: Militarx II, III, IV Mrs. Evelyn Crownover: Notehand, Typing I u Mr. Eugene Falkenstern: German I, II, III, IV Sporting a new beard this year, Mr. Gayer also developed some new teaching methods. primarily the independent study program, to help his students in the learn- ing process. He never- theless, continued his close contact with many students w-hich obviously means a lot to him: The spirit- ual strength too. Mr. Donald Gayer: Physics, Electricity, Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry From the many pop- ular comments Mr. Gemmer has evoked among students who have enjoyed, and at the same time, learn- ed a great deal in his classes, it seems that his method of teaching has been highly successful. By realizing that each person is a distinct individual with dif- ferent characteristics and treating them ac- cordingly, he has won the respect and ad- miration of the stu- dents and has been able to impress upon them the importance of self-discipline and self-education. Dr. David Gemmer: U.S. Government, World Geo- graphy Asked whether it was worth it to go through three months of hard practice to end up with a 1-7-1 football record, Coach Goeglein replied: We ' ll find out next year. Actually, a coach gets more out of a season than just having a winning re- cord although it is important. One thing is the close and last- ing relationship form- ed on the field. In this respect, I think we had a winning team. Mr. Larry Goeglein: Ac- counting, Personal Typing, Typing I, Advanced Busi- ness, Data Processing X When asked what occupation she might have chosen had she not gone into teach- ing, Mrs. Haller said: The mind gasps at the thought — what else is there besides teaching? (Shows the rut I ' m in.) Comment- ing on what she part- icularily likes about Concordia, she re- marked: Teachers are willing to give their time — outside of class as well as during class. — The stu- dents feel this giving and are most appre- ciative. It creates a nice relationship and makes it a joy to be here. Mrs. Celia Haller: English III (Honors) Five Rookies and Mr. Heinrich, Con- cordia ' s easy-going art teacher who has re- ceived much acclaim for his own work, seems to take special pride in his students ' work as well. He not only gets along with young people real well, but apparently also possesses that special talent of being able to motivate stu- dents to always do their best. He reported that he spends much of his free time order- ing materials, trying to clean up, and re- cuperating from ex- haustion.

Sports seem to take up most of his time with hunting and canoeing being two of his favorites. He also collects coins on a limited basis and man- ages to do some odd jobs around his house. If he hadn ' t chosen teaching as his career, Mr. Hoffman says he would have probably entered the conserva- tion field as a forest ranger.

Any time an individual is in- volved in this process, change will occur and new meanings will un- fold — a closer step toward any person is a closer step to Christ. Mr. Otis Howard: Religion I. II. Ill Liked by all for his wonderful sense of hu- mor (remember those bird calls) as well as his devotion to helping others, Mr. Huebsch- man had this to say about the joy he ' s ex- perienced in teaching: I thoroughly enjoy biology because it gives each of us a chance to marvel at the Creating Hand of our Lord — it is truly a fascinating area to study. My only wish is that all my students would enjoy it as much as I do. Be- cause of his interesting classes and excellent personality, many people would say his wish has been fulfilled. Mr. Raymond Huebschman: Biology, Media Director «JI % The name Ihsen has become synonymous with wrestling excel- lence and it is chiefly because of Wild Bill ' s efforts that the sport has become so popular at CLHS in recent years. Some- times, however, peo- ple remember only his wrestling accomplish- ments and forget what an outstanding teach- er he is. Not only is he effective in mak- ing the material un- derstandable, but he also tries to build up lasting relationships and be of help to stu- dents outside of class as well as in. Mr. William Ihsen: Eng- | lish II, English Essentials His knowledge of English, his devotion to teaching, and the fact that he prepares many students for col- lege more than any other teacher are fine attributes Mr. Jordan possesses. However, many seniors will pro- bably best remember him for one mislead- ing statement: This year we will have no tests, book reports, or term papers. He later got around this state- ment by calling them Periodical invento- ries, thematic analy- ses, and special pro- jects. In general, though, he ' s a pretty jood guy — and one really does learn a lot! Mr. Kurt Jordan: English IV Direct Us Toward the Goals We ' ve Set Mr. Kettles, con- sidered by many as the most innovative tea- cher at Concordia, commented on his lei- zure hours: I enjoy reading, getting to- gether with friends, spending time with my family, and writing — I guess I ' m another one of those typewri- ter pounders striving for the Great Ameri- can Novel. I also enjoy acting very much when time permits. A great deal of my time is spent by com- plaining that I never have enough of it. Mr. Jack Kettles: English III, Contemporary Liter- ature, Theater Arts When asked about his overall impression of Concordia. Mr. Kraemer replied: I appreciate the gener- al friendliness shown by students, even to- ward teachers. I also enjoy seeing students who seem to have a goal in their lives are reaching for it. The small amount of free time he does have is spent in enjoying sports, reading, and photography. This year Mr. Kraemer as- sumed the added task of taking pictures of Concordia activities for public relations purposes. Mr. Kenneth Kraemer: Eng- lish I In his rookie year I at CLHS after four years of teaching at Detroit and Idaho, the diminutive Mr. Le- Beau has blended I smoothly into the ' Concordia family. Better known as Frenchie, he has quickly gained the re- futation of being an extraordinary wrest- ler with very poor puns. But to those who have had him for class, he is also re- garded as an intelli- gent, well-read guy who really knows the subject matter he ' s teaching as well as what ' s happening in the world around him. Mr. Edward LeBeau: Gov- ernment, World History Judging by the fact that she ' s always smiling and that she always has some plea- sant words for every- one she sees in the hallways, one would have to say that Miss Loppnow greatly en- joys teaching here at Concordia. Youthful and energetic, she ' s always willing to lend a helping hand to any student and tries to be a genuine friend to all. Perhaps the best way to describe her classes is to say that there ' s never a dull moment in any of them. Miss Joann Loppnow: Al- gebra I. II, Biology DL Although some peo- ple are fooled by his sometimes stoic, stone-faced appear- ance, those who know- Mr. Massucci well know that under- neath this mask lurks an effervescent, jo- vial, fun-loving hu- man being. This year not only did he once again coach the base- ball team, but he also tried his hand at a new sport as coach of the newly formed sophomore basketball team. The results are typical of his ac- complishments both in the classroom as well| as in sports — over- whelming success. Mr. Jack Massucci: Health | Safety, Physical Edu- cation Talking about teach- ing. Mr. Mertins said: It is a continual pro- cess of striving to ini- tate the Master Teach- er. It ' s always been my feeling that any really good teacher must also be a student — you can ' t separate the two. I am not the student and, hence, not the teacher I ' d like to be. With God ' s help, I strive to reach that Goal. Although Mr. Mertins is not a per- fect teacher, many of us would say that he ' s definitely one of the very best. Mr. Thomas Mertins: Al- gebra I, Biology Sgt. Miller can be considered one of those persons who is fully wrapped up in the job he ' s doing. Not only does he teach military, he practically lives mili- tary — it has become a way of life for him after twenty years in the Armed Forces and now as the freshmen instructor in the mili- tary department here at CLHS. Besides his teaching duties, Sgt. Miller also helps out | in extracurricular af- fairs of the military | program as adviser of both the NCO Club | and Rifle Team. Sgt. Paul Miller: Military I A very devout Chris- tian, Mr. Panning commented on what he particularily likes about Concordia: I like the fact that we have tools at our dis- posal, namely the Word of God, that can change lives. I only wish it were used more often. He re- ported that he spends most of his free time (after school, even- ings, Saturday, and Sunday night) in the shop reparing equip- ment or building furn- iture or other projects for the school, per- sonal friends, or him- self. Mr. Harold Panning: Me- chanical Drawing, Indust- rial Arts Dedicated to the It ' s doubtful wheth- er Mr. Parrish was envied by too many people this year since he had not one, but two, of the most dif- ficult positions at Concordia. As coach of a highly touted bas- ketball team that did not live up to its full expectations, he was not adverse to crit- icism. Because of his job as Dean of Stu- dents he was naturally looked upon unfavor- ably by many students. Nevertheless, Big Red maintained his composure and per- formed both jobs cou- rageously and effect- ively. Mr. Glenn Parrish: Basic Business Known affection- ately as Birdman to most students, our lovable librarian, Mr. Pasche, must be given a lot of credit for the excellent library facili- ties we have here at Concordia. Because of the extremely dif- ficult job he has in trying to maintain a quiet study area, the hard-working Mr. Pas- che is sometimes criticized for his iron- hand ruling of the library, but, neverthe- less goes out of his way to lend a helping hand to any student desiring assistance. Mr. Raymond Pasche: Head Librarian Mr. Pinnow, the head of the Social Stu- dies Department who- has a remarkable head for facts, is regarded by most stu- dents who have had him for class as an intelligent individual with a lot of definite well-thoughtout opin- ions on many contro- versial topics in our society today. How- ever, he is probably best known to the stu- dent body as the hard- working coach who, year after year, comes up with a highly suc- cessful basketball team. Mr. Arthur Pinnow: World Geography, Psychology, So- ciology Mr. Reinking, the successful tennis and reserve basketball coach, has gained real popularity with many of the students be- cause of his genuine friendliness and sin- cerity. He had this to say about the in- dependent study pro- gram used in his math classes: The tradition- al system has held back many strong stu- dents. The student who works through the ma- terial himself has a better understanding of how the math is developing his reason- ing skills — it ' s been an overall im- provement. Mr. Donald Heinking: Geo- metry, Algebra II, (Honors), Trigonometry 1ST Program Teachers Are a Large Part of the Life at Concordia, A charming lady with a cute Southern accent. Mrs. Retrum has earned the re- putation of being a rather strict discipli- narian who makes kids work. (Just try rhewing gum and nine rhances out of ten you ' ll be erasing the blackboard in no time flat. I But. in the end, most students will al- most invariably admit that they learned an awful lot in her class and she is probably one of the best teach- ers they have ever had. In this way she gains both their respect and admiration. Mrs. Anna Retrum: Albegra I. Geometry It ' s quite obvious Mrs. Roop enjoys teaching at Concor- dia and life in general: I like the closeness among faculty and students here. I like the freedom afforded both and I like the emphasis on Chris- tianity and living it. I like being with and working with people so I like what I ' m doing. In my free time I enjoy sewing, cook- ing, embroidery, tra- veling, camping, knit- ting, and visiting with friends and family, especially a little granddaughter. Mrs. Lois Roop: Introduc- tion to Food and Clothing, Advanced Foods, Home Management Miss Ross considers teaching, especially at CLHS, a mission: I left the teaching pro- fession twice. After returning the second time, I ' ve been dedi- cated to teaching bus- iness ever since. A lot of her free time is taken up by read- ing (economics, poli- tical philosophy, and natural history), sew- ing, and indoor gar- dening. Actually, a great variety of things interest her, but she says the days are never long enough for me to get all my ideas accomplished. Miss Esther Ross: Personal Typing, Typing II, Short- hand, Notehand, Secre- tarial Training Mrs. Sauerteig said that two things were instrumental in her decision to work as a high school libra- rian — she likes work- ing with books and she likes working and helping young people. Commenting on her leisure hours, she re- marked: I try to keep current on reading materials — books, pamphlets, etc. A few hours each week is given to Church work. I also enjoy and try to participate in as many fine arts activities in the community as pos- sible. Mrs. Ruth Sauerteig: As- sistant Librarian 0 Participating in Student Activities in and out of Class. Mrs. Scharpenberg I said that her recent travels to Europe have [greatly aided her in her teaching: I feel like those travels have made me a complete person by teaching me about different cul- tures and customs. And believe it or not, I could use Latin to make myself under- stood and to under- stand them. Now I can pass down to my students first-hand ex- periences about Italy which before I too 1 had to accept just from reading about it. The entire experience proved both interest- ing and beneficial. Mrs. Judith Scharpenberg: Latin I, II, III, IV Miss Schlie, our young, vibrant, good- looking girls ' phys ed teacher says she has really enjoyed her first year at Concor- dia: The kids are really great — friend- ly, respectful, and en- thusiastic. Other than lack of experience (which comes with time), I don ' t feel I ' ve had any difficulties because I ' m fresh out of college. In fact, I consider it a great advantage when re- lating to the students. I just hope they have as much respect for me as I have for i them. Miss Carolyn Schlie: Girls ' Physical Education ti The young, hand- some, sharply-dressed Mr. Schweyer com- mented on the satis- faction he ' s found in teaching: I like things which require mental activity in working toward a goal which I consider to be valuable. I can ' t stand doing the same thing every day. Though there is a lot of rou- tine in teaching, every day offers its own uni- que joys and frust- rations. I ' ll probably leave teaching some- time, just to exper- ience new things, but it probably won ' t be for long. Mr. Donald Schuever: French I, II, III, IV JB Jj 1 I spend my hours lout of the classroom 1 1 doing whatever inter- 1 lests me at the moment 1 1 . . sewing, reading, 1 1 spending money — 1 1 sometimes even ' teach- 1 1 er things ' like grading 1 1 papers. I try to really 1 1 just be me and do 1 1 just what I want to do 1 1 — not what the clock 1 1 ' says ' to do. A person 1 1 can really get bogged 1 down by routine and 1 1 schedules — I try not 1 1 to have any routine or 1 schedule to my free 1 time. 1 Miss Dianne Shrubsall: Lu- 1 Hi, English I, Fundamentals 1 in Speech, Speech Arts 1 1 ! if J 11 If I could change anything at Concor- dia, it would have to be the attitudes. The concept of how im- portant the four years at CLHS are needs renewed vigor and interest on the part of students and staff alike. The present at- titude in many cases leads to half-hearted efforts in both the teaching and the learn- ing. Graduates often regret later they had not applied them- selves more. All of us need to reapply our- selves to the education process. In general, though. CLHS is a fine place and I real- ly enjoy being here. Mr. Raymond Siefert: Varsity Band, Cadet Band, General Math VS Mrs. Stautier lines everything about Con- cordia: The Christian education, the dedi- cation of my fellow teachers, and the aca- demic freedom allowed the teaching staff. She said that she wants to stay in the teaching field as long as possible, preferably working with teen- agers, because she just loves it. Read- ing and playing bridge are her favorite free time diversions. Her family has a cabin in Northern Michigan where they enjoy water sports, golf, and fishing in the summer and snow sports in winter. Mrs. Marxbelle Stauffer: English I, II Popular Pastor Pete is regarded by many students as a I personal friend who | will listen to their pro- blems and make a I sincere effort to be of help. When asked about student-teacher | relationships, Pastor Tremain replied: The only thing I can sug- gest to improve them is to provide more time for informal talking and working together — and just| make a point of re- membering that what- ever our differences, I we all stand before God with exactly the| same to offer — real need for help. | Rev. Peter Tremain: Reli- gion I, IV I ' ve always had a desire to enter the preaching ministry and have even enroll- ed and been accepted at Springfield twice. Lack of money and a love for youth have kept me in the teach- ing ministry. I believe Concordia is an ex- cellent witness to the Christian community and all of Ft. Wayne. Naturally, we are like each Christian — both saint and sinner. I really do like our goal — to grow daily in the Christian life and be of true service to our Lord. Mr. Frank Walker: Religion I, II, III, Devolopmental Reading Teachers are O.K. — Sometimes 110 A person with a truly optimistic view of today ' s youth, Mr. Weiss, the sophomore class adviser, com- mented on what ' s dif- ferent about Concor- dia that he particu- larly likes: The re- lationship of many teachers and students with each other is very good. I trust the stu- dents and, hopefully, they trust me. Mr. Weiss enjoys partici- pating in sporting events, helping other people, and working in the shop in his basement during his leisure hours. Mr. Fred Weiss: Religion II, Mechanical Drawing, Industrial Arts They 1 Talking about his difficult task as Lumi- narian adviser, Mr. Zuehsow said, It is a joy when I see what staff members can do but a real headache when I see what is not being done. Commenting on his free time, he said, I have seven veget- able gardens in back of our house and two more on another farm. I get a real kick out of seeing God ' s hand at work in the short life cycle of a tomato. Mr. Paul Zuehsow: Eng- lish II, IV, Luminarian ,ey Even Let S tuae Out of Class!

Youth — heir of the sufferings, ministries, achievements of past generations; whose life- blood is the very lifeblood of those who give them birth; whose intellectual grasp is the pro- duct of patient tutelage at home and at school; whose spiritual ideals root in the great souls of yesterday and today — youth, heir of all the past. Youth — come into a wanton world created by the sin and stupidity of its elders; handi- capped by the mistakes of well-meaning but blind generations; burdened but not overwhelmed by the immensity of the problems of the hour — youth, creature of the past but creator of the future. Youth — energetic and dissatisfied, sometimes moved by a reckless restlessness and again by a divine discontent; misguided and uncontrolled, at times, wasting its substance in riotous living; divinely motivated and sublimely purposed, at times, daring to attempt a perfection which seems, to cautious elder minds, to be idealistic folly — youth, unwilling to accept the world as it is. Youth — suffering deep pent-up sorrows, enduring well-nigh crushing defeats, hoping against tremendous odds, fighting cruel inner battles, winning unheralded but glorious triumphs — youth, victim and victor. Christian youth — captured by the dream of the young Idealist of Nazareth, impelled by the lofty concerns which led hm to Calvary; Christian youth, seeking to know and follow the will of God, embracing all human kind within the family circle; determined to rid the world of its be- setting sins and unnecessary sorrow — Christian youth, with whom the name Christian takes on a new and yet its oldest, meaning. class flower: poppy We Have Made a World for Each of Us, but We Need a World for All of Us. note: the above poem was taken from the book Better Than Gold, Thomas Nelson, Inc., New York 138 f Chuck Ahrendt: unselfishly involved . . - integrated per- sonality-not torn apart by conflicts . . . profound Ronda Barnhart: Life is great when you have God, friends, and a dream. ..smile filled with wonder James Bercot: wisdom comes from much search- ing . . . individualist look- ing for relevancy in our world of confusion Rhonda Beukema: doesn ' t make acquaintances; makes friends. ..Our possessions di- minish us if we fail to hear another ' s cry for help.

And though it ' s nice to reflect upon those easy thoughts, often it ' s the difficult, troubling experiences from which we grow into better people. However, all these memories are personal gifts, known to perhaps a few, but ususally known only to one ' s self. Thus, these few pages have captured but a few of the unlimited experiences, already past memories, of our whole Concordia family. It is the wish of these sixteen people that at least one thing between these two covers - will hold a unique thought for you. L0 l nA tH(XAj67t ' ' 167 Abel. Scott 114 AhJbrand.
