Terry, are you listening to me? P.P. — The Agony and the Ecstasy In the third annual Powder Puff football game, the Seniors battled their way to vic- tory against a determined Junior team but lost to a vicious horde of mosquitos. The game was close, all scoring being done in the last half. The Juniors scored first when Lee Ann Berning make a 60-yard touchdown run. Vicky Novak scored 6 much needed points for the Seniors on a quarterback sneak. Senior Brenda Whitney made the score 7-6 with a conversion play. Evenly matched teams allowed no further scoring. At the end of the contest both teams had at least one thing in common: bruises. % o ' ■ lis ten here, what I say goes ' We got em right where we want ' em. Oh no! They can ' t do that to us Pies and Tricycles Give Life to Homecoming Celebration Homecoming festivities began this year with the annual Trike Race. Student body fans cheered their approval as Mark Druhot crossed the finish line to victory in the singles event. Good teamwork and perfect timing won the relay event for Steve Dent, Vern Koehlinger, Mike Soest, and Tom Wesche. Halftime fun for Powder Puff fans featured a new event: the Pie-Eating Contest. Contestants eagerly dug into the pies, and minutes later Gary Smith emerged, full of pie but triumphant. Even the losers were winners as the rest of the pies quickly disappeared.

At halftime Seniors produced the winning float. Radiant Becky Gentile was crowned by last year ' s queen, Debbie K. Smith, at the Homecoming Dance. The court members were Seniors Sandy Scheumann and Donna Zettelmeier, and Juniors Bon- nie Kru.se and Barb Meyer. Music was provided by Hoy Polloy and Alligator Thrills. A blazing outhouse completes any Homecoming. Once again the class of 73 had the prize winning float.

Write Me a Murder And Harvey Smashing Success Concordia ' s Drama Department sparkled with an overflow of talent this year. Cadets watched, captivated as the actors made the characters live. The fall play, Harvey, was the story of an eccentric man whose best friend was a six-foot-tall white rabbit. Who done it? was the question asked in Write Me A Murder, a murder mystery complete with authentic British accents. Both plays were high quality with a dash of fun for flavor. Toy Box Brings Cheer Into Children s Hearts What brought smiles of delight to children ' s faces? The Toy Box Theater! Creating a magi- cal fantasyland of talking in- sects and cats that wore boots, this year ' s Toy Box worked hard and long for those few precious moments of sunshine and laughter. But Toy Box wasn ' t all work and no play as many Cadets can testify. No one objected to getting out of classes to perform. Toy Box presented two plays, Once Upon a Clothesline and Puss In Boots, to children in hospitals, orphanages, and grade schools. But Toy Box wasn ' t just for children — it w as for everyone! Square Dance Craze Hits Concordia Dances Dance to the music! The Cadets did just that at the monthly sock hops. But there was something dif- ferent about some of Concordia ' s dances this year. Instead of a rock band, there was a real live square- dance caller! Concordians discover- ed a whole new world of fun in square-dancing. With square-dan- ces, carnivals and sock hops, there was something for everyone! ■ ■ ' ■. ' ■ •■ V A 1 ' ' _ S!!!

The five-day program was kicked off with the performances Barefoot in the Park and Antigone by the National Theater Company. This was fol- lowed by four 16-day sessions in which students could attend various presentations b members of the surrounding community. These presentations involved topics that in- terested students but could not be covered in the normal curriculum. Tours to areas of student concern, such as a hospital, a farm, a factor), etc., were also included for the first time this year, offering students first hand information.

Two lips, a tongue, 32 teeth 32 cavities (if you don ' t use Crest); Out of the mouth come Dirty jokes, ugly curses Bad breath, lousy food, Little fibs or downright lies.

Listerinecan wash away bad breath, but something much stronger is needed to clean deep down: Letting Christ into your life Once in the morning — every morning Is the best mouthwash on the market. From the mouth will pour A song of joy, a note of peace, A sincere thanks shared with the world, A welcoming smile, a message of love, A pure thought, a prayer of hope; The mouth can merely function. Or be a messenger of destruction, Or a blessing. Choose to use, not abuse Your mouth. Tom Wesche When the astronauts dropped a ball and a feather, Galileo smiled.

The courses were aimed at helping students understand themselves and others. Courses in this broad pro- gram included studies of government, history, society, and geography. Students learned by read- ing contemporary literature, observing the world around them and asking questions. Teachers also provided interesting and helpful lectures and as- signments to aid students in their quest for know- ledge. Communication through writing and speaking is the key to English. Courses such as speech and theater arts concentrated on the expression of ideas through speech and action. The rest of the English courses con- centrated more on the written aspect although each course approached this topic differently. With such a variety of courses available, our English department is second to none! Progression in Self-Expression Religion is what it ' s all about here at Concordia. Students put their faith to work in the class- room as they studied their rela- tionship to God in several ways. Films, speakers, and lively dis- cussions made religion classes very interesting for students. Cha- pel services, both contemporary and traditional, provided food for thought for many Cadets while others preferred to talk to God in the solitude of the meditation chapel. Religion Is a Feeling, Not a Class There is a quote in the German room which says, Wer frem- de Sprachen nicht kennt weiss nichts von seiner eigenen, meaning, He who does not know a foreign language does not know himself. With the knowledge of another coun- try ' s language and customs comes a greater understand- ing of one ' s own heritage. The Latin, German, and Fren- ch scholars learned their lang- uages by reading, writing, and using the language lab. The knowledge gained by these students will help them value their heritage as well as others ' . Languages Broaden Students ' Minds sciences New and exciting worlds were opened to cadets this year through the science department. Students in the independent study plan of biology, chemistry, and advanced science discovered on their own the mysteries of God ' s world. Other courses were more suited to the conven- tional method of study. No matter what the study plan C.L.H.S. students were sure to learn. Students Find DNA, Motion, J A and Electrons Perplexing Math is a difficult but neces- sary ingredient of high school life. Since an independent study plan was available, stu- dents could forg e ahead know- ing they could ask a teacher for help. Whether studying paral- lel lines or struggling with para- metric equations, students had to agree that math at Con- cordia is a real challenge. i Seeds of Independence Take Root in Math Department qfessiondl studies For the first time in Concordia ' s history military was voluntary. As a result the classes were much smaller, and the students were genuinely interested in the subject. The increased willingness to work on the part of the students made Sgt. Miller ' s job of teaching such basic skills as marching and marks- manship much easier. This year Concordia could be truly proud of its military. Voluntary Military Program Sparks New Enthusiasm Students gained practical experience in business class- es through typing, short- hand and other useful skills. Accepting responsibility for learning on their own, they found that long hours of practice paid off as talent increased. Though students went ahead at their own pace, deadlines helped stu- dents keep up to date. Stu- dents intending to go into business or secretarial work after high school found these classes very beneficial Business Courses include typing, shorthand, basic business, accounting, data processing, notehand, and secretarial traning. Students Gain Vocational Skills Shop Projects Enliven Display Case Industrial arts students gained prac- tical experience in the skills which would assist them in any future in- dustrial job. In the newly decorat- ed shop students learned to use power tools through wood and metal working. The creations of some of the students could always be viewed in the shop display case. Students in the mechanical drawing classes learned the basics of architectural design and drafting. All in all, these various classes proved to be very worthwhile. Learning the arts of cooking, sewing, and interior decorating kept girls in the home economics department busy this year. Advanced courses helped pre- pare girls for college or a career as a homemaker. The highlight of the year came with the annual fashion show which showed girls that they could make beautiful clothes inexpensively, home ec. girls learned that work and play can mix! What ' s Cooking in Home Economics? m Phys Ed. Develops Many Skills Physical education was the name of the game with the active gym classes. Under the excellent guid- ance of Miss Schlie, the girls con- centrated on fitness and coor- dination. A variety of sports help- ed make getting in shape fun. The rough and ready boys ' class- es were supervised by Mr. Mas- succi and Mr. Hoffman. The boys found that teamwork and sports- manship are two valuable con- cepts to any good sports team. Above all, CLHS teachers know how to trim flab. There Is Nothing Like Paris in the Springtime! Some of the lucky people who wen! to Europe are the following. L-R: Dan Albers.

Once again students and faculty had the wonder- ful opportunity to tour the Old World, but this time anyone who was a Concordia graduate or a member of a church supporting CLHS could go. For two marvelous weeks the lucky souls of the tour group feasted their eyes on the famous sites in England and France. Their journey included such places as Paris, the Louvre, Versailles, Lon- don and Windsor. The only disagreeable part of the tour was the prospect of returning to school!

In order to please the student body, editor Michelle Meyer and her staff took a poll asking for student opinion on changes. As a result a new feature, The Happy Ads, appeared bringing smiles to the majority of those who wrote and read them. 73 Staff Unites in Team Effort The 72-73 Luminarian Staff, headed by co-editing slave drivers Dori Erwin and Steve Hermann, worked extremely hard this year. Getting out a yearbook by spring made deadlines more diffi- cult for both the editors and photo- graphers. Even though it took a lot of effort, the staff still managed to preserve its do-nothing image when Mr. Zuehsow stepped out of the room. Last year the abolition of Council was often discussed. Officers as well as members were concerned about the apathy found to be so prevelent during meetings. This new school year brought different attitudes towards S.C. It has now regained the respect necessary for proper functioning as a representative organization of our student body. The initia- tion of the Student-Teacher Relations Board created an awareness between students and faculty. Given this opportunity S.C. was successful in its most important function: Improving relationships between people. Conflicts, Committees, Compromises Student Council Wraps It All Up!

AA Gains IHSAA Membership After finally gaining membership into the IHSAA the 1972-73 GAA has experienced a brighter outlook for the future years. For the first time since its origin, the interschool athletic teams were eligible to compete with other city high schools in softball, volleyball, basketball, tennis and track. The 120-member organization added a ten week bowling program to its long list of activities. During the winter months the GAA girls teamed up with the Lettermen ' s club to sell citrus fruits. The major share of the girls ' profits went towards the purchasing of sweatsuits to be used as uniforms. Intramurals Offer Variety of Athletic Involvements Within the resounding walls of our gym ana various bowling alleys, intramural athletics provided fun exer- cise, and competition for many teams and individuals. Mr. Gemmer and Mr. Massucci supervised, organized, and revised this year ' s sports schedules. Talented and gifted athletes of the student body enjoyed taking part in contests such as basketball, bowling, and volleyball. Students who didn ' t play enjoyed the thankless job of being referee. Cm on Cadets, Let ' s Go! CLHS was pretty lucky this year to have three capable and spirited squads, dedi- cated to keeping sportsman- ship in and moral high. Because they perservered in spite of the pressures from coaches and students, 1973 will go down as the year we never quit, when eigh- teen peppy girls led the student body in spirit and pride, through victory and defeat. •l nais on the go. assisting in pep sessions, thinking up new cheers, and leading from the side lines are the Reserve Cheerleaders I FROM L.-R): Kathy Purvis.

When the band gave the cue, the twirlers cut loose and revealed their well-planned routines that had been worked upon the regular Tuesday and Thursday night practices. Skills such as flashes, t o hand spins, and figure eights formed the basis for the routine, while more difficult stunts like but- terflys. cartwheels, and body wraps added pazzaz.

The Cadets compiled a 5-4 record, capping it off with an upset victory over the north division champ, Northrop. While not playing the required number of games for the conference title, the spirited team wound up 4-0 in the NEIC stand- ings. Led by co-captains Doug Gentile and all-city selection John Koeneman, the small, quick team averaged 18 points to the opposition ' s 9, a feat indicative of a fine football season. 1972 Varsity Football CA DETS Snider CA DETS 42 East Noble CADETS Liters 19 CADETS 30 New Haven CA DETS 40 Bluffton CADETS 14 Bellmont 6 CADETS 13 North Side 19 CADETS S Dwenger 21 CADETS 14 Northrop 12 it m ? .A- V Morale Reaches Peak In Upset Victory Over Northrop Varsity football team.

Lack of experience in the young team accounted for the 5th place showing in Section- als. The regional crown was grabbed by the Cadets the following week, due to the doubles victory by Art and Luke who finished a very respectable 4th in state. With thegraduation of Kurt Krueckeberg and Ted Na- ThaLang, next year ' s tennis team will have to draw upon the talents of the under- classmen, most notably George Rhee and Steve Kleinschmidt. 1972 Tennis CA DETS 6 Snider 2 CADETS 6 Bishop Dwenger 2 CADETS 5 Huntington 4 CADETS 4 South Side 3 CA DETS 8 Elmhursl CA DETS 6 Wayne 1 CA DETS 5 Northrop 2 CADETS 9 Columbia City CA DETS 5 Bellmont 4 CA DETS 6 Bishop Luers I CADETS 3 North Side 4 Members oj the 1972 tennis team, I..

Combining speed, ball- handling, and sharp shooting to more than make up for a lack of height, the Cadets captured 3rd place in one of the toughest city races ever. Led by Allen County Player of the Year, Eugene Parker, the squad had its share of victory strings and slumps.

Throughout the campaign Coach Reinking ' s players exhibited excellent spirit and enthusiasm. Most important of all for future hardwood sea- sons, the team improved constantly during the season, and many of the losses were extremely close. In its second year at Concordia, the sophomore team used their height to overcome many foes on their way to a very respectable 12-4 slate. The determination and teamwork dis- played by the C-team is a credit to Coach Massucci ' s ability as well as an assurance of victory. Mi I I C-leam and Reserve Members. L. to R.. FIRST ROW: M.

This ear ' s wrestling team showed remarkable ability and determina- tion. Under the coaching of Mr. Ihssen, Mr. LeBeau, and Mr. Braun. this team came from a slow start to become one of the most feared sectional teams around. Although their dual meet re- cord of 3-7 wasn ' t impressive, their tournament record was. In the five tournaments in which they participated, Concordia earned two seconds places, two third places, and one fourth. And for only the second time in Concordia ' s history two wrestlers, Don Gotsch and Rik Ihssen. advanced to the state finals. Don Gotsch did exceptionally well in bringing back a third place in the state match. The many months of sweat, drilling, dieting, and just plain hard w ork paid off for these boys.

The reserve team had a good year with a 7-3 record. While the freshman record at 2-4 wasn ' t as impressive as the reserve record, its main purpose was to develop future wrestlers. Mr. James ' Bananas i Braun was the capable and efficient freshman coach who accomplish- ed this purpose and kept the team alive and kicking. The reserve team was led by sophomores Bill Nix, Mark Raabe, and Geoff Lo Verde. The freshman team leaders were Arnold Benecke. Steve Bren- ner. Xat Harms. Steve Hoerger. and Gary Schull. CLHS should expect some ex- tremel good wrestlers in future years from these two teams. The freshman team L. TO R. KNEELING: F. Allen, A. Benecke. B Macke. B. Rostov : SECOSD ROW: B. S. Hoerger. G.

The team, captained by senior veteran Michele Meyer, was packed full with much in- dividual effort and spirit. A strong factor of the female cagers was teamwork, a point highly em- phasized by their fine coach Carolyn Schlie. Two of the many fine contributors to the squad were super junior Lee Ann Berning, who retained an 18.2 average and senior Joanne Paul, with a 16.2 average. The rebounding services of senior Jan Kuehnerl also added greatly to their success. ADMINISTRATION Principal Guenlher Herzog Herzog and the Board Get it Together for Christ Under the able leadership of principal Guenther Herzog, the administration once again had the unenviable task of trying to please all of the people, all of the time. Flanked by teachers, parents, and students, these men have t o listen to the voice of experience while keeping an open ear to the growing concerns of the student. Along with the Board of Directors, the men behind the scene, Concordia ' s administration must first determine school policy and then must perform the next to impossible task of seeing that it is followed. Assisting Mr. Herzog. with the administrative duties this year were Reverand William Beckman, Vice Principal; Mr. Carl Gall- meier. Director of Guidance: and Mr. Glenn Parrish. Dean of Students. i i 1 j I : Guidance Counselor Ed Werner Guidance Counselor Carl Gallmeier Mr. Lester Baack, M.A. Social Studies, Science Mr. Bud Bisbee, M.A. Mrs. Evelyn Crownover, M.S.

He retired from the U.S. Army Corps of Engin- eers after 22 years of service. He served in World War II, and later served in the Phil- ippines and Okinawa. He ser- ved as an advisor to the Boli- vian Military Academy, and later as an Army Recruiter and Career Counselor. Prior to his assignment at Concor- dia, he spent three-and-a-half years at the University of No- tre Dame as an instructor in the Senior ROTC Program. Captain Clendenen was highly regarded by his fellow offi- cers, the non-commissioned of- ficers, and the many cadets with whom he had come in contact. His contributions to the entire J ROTC program will continue to be appreciated for many years to come. Men such as Captain Homer Clen- denen are the exception rather than than the rule. Soldiers like Captain Clendenen are never forgotten. Captain Homer L. Clendenen Junior ROTC Instructor 1969-1972 Where Would We Be With- out the Dedication of Our Cheerful, Competent Staff?
