i — School view Many things happened on the national scene, but what about closer to home? What happened in school in 1976? The beginning of school went fast. You saw how everyone changed over summer, and which couples broke up and got together. Upperclass- men looked over the new freshmen while fresh- men tried to adjust to the Concordia routine. Up until December, special events and holi- days created three and four-day weekends, al- ways welcome to a busy student. The jamboree, homecoming, teachers ' conference and Thanks- giving flashed by and soon it was Christmas vacation. You came back in a new year with resolutions to really bear down, and, with the fun of Dis- covery Week and the help of extended weekends due to Concordia Day and snow days, you beat the midwinter blahs and concentrated on your studies. But it was hard to get serious with spring vacation not too far off. You lived from weekend to weekend and ever so slowly it came around and by this time you really needed a break. Upon your return, you braced yourself for the homestretch. But, when looking out the win- dow at the river, how could you help but notice it was greening up outside while you were sup- posed to be graphing a function in Algebra? Your existence depended on 1ST, lunch and 3:10 until finally that last week of school arrived, and man, had you waited for it! Then that was done in a flash-finals, baccalaureate, yearbook signing, graduation — and that was it! You did it! You got through another school year!
