We remember the moods we were in that were changed from one ex- treme to another by nothing more than a two min- ute talk with a special friend between classes. When the volleyball team went to state, the close, proud, elated electricity that ran through the school brought a sense of unity seldom felt in the diverse, often distant community of more than 900. The prom, whether bittersweet, beautiful or outright nightmarish, won ' t be forgotten until the passage of many years. Everyday emotions also affected us, like the feeling of horror when a 50 point essay question on a major exam was misunderstood. The school life that was so routine at first glance was made into the experience you remember by the range of emotions and relationships that you felt throughout the year. These feelings were the heart and soul and being of Concordia as WE knew it — OUR Concordia. M: Table of Contents Student Life Academics Organizations Sports People Ads Index 102 151 163 others the interaction Although it seemed our lives centered around Concordia, we made a unique impact on the outside world this year, and the outside world made an impact on us. The biggest event of the year was the Ford Carter presidential race. Many Cadets participated by working at the polls and voting. Ford was the Cadet favorite, but Carter won in a close national ballot. Around the state, Concordia was known as the home of the girls ' volleyball team which was second only to a South Bend team that played three boys. Concordia also went on the air with a new radio station, WLHI, which Cadets operated on school days broadcasting classical music and some home basketball games. Last fall, Concordia gained a new neighbor next to Zollner Stadium, Ivy Tech. We had to be involved with many worlds — and our families ' , our friends ' , our school ' s, our community ' s — and each demanded something different. 4 theme 1) Like many other Americans, one Cadet is still undecided as election day approaches. 2) One of several new buildings visible on the Fort Wayne skyline is the General Telephone microwave tower. 3) Our volleyball girls felt a lot of hometown support when they went down to Indianapolis for the state championships. 4) About 65 area colleges and universities came to College Day at CLHS. 5) Mr. Breininger and Mr. Huebschmann broadcast a Cadet basketball game over the high school radio station. IS ' 77544 theme 5 Us . . . the shared experience Being a Concordian meant sharing feelings of joy, frustration, anticipation, and excitement with about 900 other Cadets. When we worshipped together throughout the year, we all felt confused, grateful, and happy at one time or another as we struggled with our faith. The drudgery of getting our work done on time or getting our work done at all before grade cards came out was almost unbearable. The escape from academics to companionship with our friends never seemed frequent enough. There certainly seemed to be twice as many Monday mornings as Friday afternoons as we look back over the year. Everybody lived for weekends, vacations, and surprise snow days when we could sleep in, catch up, and relax. We felt unified when our whole side of the gym boomed Beat ' Em! Beat ' Em! at a game — and our teams ' victories were OUR victories. We will remember these ups and downs when we remember the ' 76- ' 77 school year. . 1) The student body worships together in a chapel service about creation 2) The volleyball team, urged on by a spirited crowd, prepares to receive their second place awards. 3) After lunch, Richard Ridley returns to face the routine of afternoon classes. 4) Four junior guys use a giant spirit stick to get the crowd rowdy. 5) During fourth hour government, seniors discuss civil liberties with Mr. Eschels. theme 7 You . . . the one and only While you exhibited emotions as a part of Concordia, you alone had a unique experience totally removed from classes, pep sessions, and chapel services. You had a great feeling of accom- plishment when you worked hard and were able to clearly express your ideas for an English project. There was con- stant pressure for you to determine a career choice and whether to get a job after graduation, go to college, or get married. However, it was also an ex- hilarating time to be making choices about your future with so many oppor- tunities open. You wanted to make your own decisions about who to date, who to have for friends, and when and how to study without interference from parents. You could hold a job after school and on weekends to earn mon- ey for college, a car, or dating. To you, this school year meant a lot more than just what happened in school. It included your decisions, mis- takes, and successes. 8 theme 1) Advanced Biology student Joyce Michael gets caught preparing a slide. 2) Waiting for an inspiration, senior Beth Thiele prepares to paint. 3) Cindy King waits for the dismissal bell in shop class. 4) During his study hall, Kent Preston faces the daily routine of home- work. 5) Duane Cooper finds that it ' s not always easy just to make it through the day. Trends range from CB ' s to boots 3 1 What made this year different from last year? Everybody was hit by the current CB craze, whether or not they had one in their car. CB lingo turned into hallway lingo through catch phrases like, That ' s a 10-4, good buddy. On the fashion scene, straight- legged jeans, cowl neck sweaters, boots, gauchos, the wedge haircut, and big glasses were in style. The guys started to wear vested suits and brought back pocket watches. The box office hits were: A Star is Born, Marathon Man, and a Mel Brooks comedy Silent Movie. On TV, Rich Man, Poor Man, Fam- ily, and Charlie ' s Angels hit top ratings throughout the 76-77 season. The faces of the characters Fonzi and Barbarino plastered the covers of half the publications on the maga- zine stand. Getting closer to home, the topics we talked about ranged from apathy to communion to boys playing on girls ' volleyball teams. Concern was expressed in editorials and Letters to the Editor in LU-HI. 4 V 1) Sue Lamm keeps on top of the fashion scene by wearing boots, knickers, and a cowl neck sweater. 2) After Christmas, many guys wore digital watches. 3) Many people found big glasses more practi- cal, as Sue Rodenbeck exhibits here. 4) Along with watching the movie Sybil on T.V., many Cadets read the book. 5) Double- pierced ears were a change from the usual and gave Jeannette Widmann different ways to wear her earrings. Blue Mondays create anticipation The only gripe I have about week- ends is that Monday mornings fol- low. Promises made to rest up dur- ing the weekend, as well as vows to study tirelessly, were broken. Junior Joy Leinhos remarked, The only way I can get out of bed on Monday mornings is to fall out. Monday mornings were the morn- ings when you didn ' t care whether or not your hair got washed. Once you had convinced yourself that you real- ly did have to get up, and that school really wasn ' t called off be- cause of a flash flood, Monday be- came an excuse for everything that went wrong. Kathy Bennett summed up the feelings of most people about Monday mornings, I hate them. for restless, rowdy Fridays Looking forward to Friday was the only way most students hung on through the week. After four days of school, your mind draws a blank, senior Bob Malcolm commented. Friday was the day that people suddenly broke out in smiles when they realized what day it was. Occasional pep sessions and assemblies added to the confusion. Students ' minds wandered to the events of the coming weekend. Plans were made for dates, dances and rides to the game. On Fridays, students were just a little more anxious for the day to be over with. Why not; it ' s Friday, Sue Braun giggled. fridays 13 A weekend never comes too soon We looked at weekends as a deliverance from school — an escape from the drudgery of a routine week. After what seemed to be a very long week at school, we were all ready for a weekend of freedom. Seventy percent of our student body came back to school for activities such as games, dances, plays, and concerts — not to mention all the practices. We spent a lot of time at home cleaning, watching TV and doing homework. As one senior girl put it, I always thought weekends were to be a time of rest, but more teachers seem to regard them as extra time to fill up with work that there isn ' t enough class time for. We also had jobs and spent time at work, ranging from a few hours to a major portion of the weekend. When we weren ' t busy with everything else, we found extra time to spend with friends at parties, movies, and dates. Summing up the special value of weekends, John Nommay said, They ' re a time when your mother can ' t wake you up at 7 o ' clock to tell you it ' s time to go to school. 14 weekends 1) Between Varsity and Reserve games, Arnie Fritz waits for a few of his friends. 2) Judy Kiefer, Dan Kramer, and Bill Davis -- make time for a snack at McDonald ' s. 3) Chris McDougle spends part of his weekend working at Hartzler ' s. 4) Working on their _ documentary, Mike Witte and Greg Day use the weekend for looking up background information. weekends 15 Some days were just great but A good day could be many things to many people. Little things made days special, and one important event could really made a day terrific. It could be a good day just because you got through it. ■ Early dismissal days, and Homecoming and Christmas weeks helped make the days fly by and added some variety. Finishing with a project before a deadline, passing a hard test, having an unexpected movie or substitute teacher, not getting caught on your third tardy, being called out of class for a guidance appointment when you ' re supposed to take a test you didn ' t study for, hearing a good devotion, having a friend share a secret, or being noticed by somebody special could make the day a great one. But ... 14 16 good day Along with the good came the bad o no, there went by books, they just fell on the floor. this is the kind of catastrophe a person can ' t ignore. there goes that door again: it always slams on things. and i have to get to my locker before the first bell rings. what a way to start the morning i just broke my pencil lead. the way this day is heading, i should have stayed in bed. already it is lunchtime — school lunches for us all, and now we all are heading for the lines in heartburn hall. i forgot about the exam that we ' re having in business ed. so i am really cramming for it while wishing i were dead. the last bell has finally rung through the bustle and the fuss. by the time i reached the front door, i ' ll be told i missed the bus. so when another day had ended and when i kneel to pray, i will pray tomorrow ' s sunrise begins a better day. — Gemma Lindsley Used by permission, POWER, Personal Reflections by Youth for Youth Box 8032, St. Louis, MO 63156 Lounge: The great escape The student lounge was a place to escape from the hum-drum of each school day. Cadets often used the gathering place before and after school to work on as- signments or just to sit and talk with friends. The lounge was also a hiding place for students skipping class or a haven for people kicked out of the library. Bringing with them smuggled ra- dios and forbidden frisbees, Cadets went to the lounge for a release from daily pressures. It ' s the at- mosphere that I liked, comment- ed senior Lee Essex. During Home- coming Week, the lounge was filled It ' s the atmosphere that I liked. with dead hawks and streamers, while a Christmas tree decorated the lounge at Christmas time. Sophomore Darryl Calloway stat- ed, I think there was more free- dom in the lounge than anywhere else in the school. 1) Junior Dave Daggett models his cheerlead- ing outfit for the powder puff game. 2) During study halls, the student lounge was a popular hangout for the Cadets. 3) Junior Tom Ack- mann demonstrates his great talent in bal- ancing chairs. J- 4-% 18 lounge y Library: A multi-purpose facility From students frantically search- ing for resources for that report due tomorrow to students napping during study halls, the library was in constant use throughout each day. The conference rooms within the library offered students a place to work on group projects. The newspapers and magazines gave students a chance to catch up on current events. Cadets often used the listening- viewing room We still need to add many more books to our collection over the next few years. off of the IMC as a place to study tapes and filmstrips. Over the sum- mer the library added 280 new books to the shelves, but Mr. Pasche, the librarian remarked, We still hope to add many more books to our collection over the next few years. 1) Freshman Rachel Sievert whispers to friends as they work together during study hall. 2) Cadets often use the library as a place to relax and catch up on current events. 3) Rick Thomas waits for Mr. Pasche to check out his books while Sally Quilhot waits for a service worker to bring her a magazine. 4) Using the seclusion of a conference room, Ray Fahlsing completes a government assignment. library 19 Winter ' 77 paralyzes east, mideast The Winter of 77 was an incredible experience. Cadets had an extra nine days off due to snow and drifting, sub-zero temperatures, and the energy crisis. For the first time, many experienced the sensation of cabin fever when terrible road conditions forced them to stay inside. They suffered through record low temperatures and high winds which made Indiana, as well as the other eastern two-thirds of the nation, comparable to the Artie Tundra. According to the Weather Bureau, January, 1977, was the coldest since colonial times. Because of the bitter cold, not everyone enjoyed the days off. As Lisa Ahlbrand said, It was too cold to do anything fun. It really makes me appreciate summer coming up. But after the snow days were over and school resumed, the novelty began to wear off. Cars stuck in snow, icy roads, and frozen limbs began to get on everyone ' s nerves. Falling behind in school work gave both teachers and students headaches. Lisa Ensley commented, It makes you realize what nature can really do. Because of the energy crisis, school officials turned down the heat. The layered look was back in style when Cadets wore extra sweatshirts, sweaters, and long unaerwear to keep warm. But deliverance finally came. February 11, the temperature soared to 50°. Snow melted and even the brown grass looked good. ' It really makes me appreciate summer coming up. 1) Eight times this winter 8:20 came and there was nobody there. 2) Greg Hayes and IVIatt Brackman survived the -14° weather by wearing insulated masks at Franke Park. 3) Bob Scaer needs the strong shoulders of his friends to get his car out of a drift. 4) Enjoying an early dismissal because of the snow, Rachel Etzold and Terry Meyer bomb the photographer. Worship bonds Concordians This year ' s Worship Committee headed by Lorl Schinnerer and Pastor Schlie planned worship services and devotions so that the student body of Concordia could become more aware of Jesus Christ in their lives. Many different types of worship services were planned to appeal to all the different kinds of students at C.L,H.S. Besides the traditional chapel services, musical and dramatic groups such as Honey- tree and Creation, Inc. came and shared their faith with students and faculty during Wednesday chapel services. With the help of the Rainbow Club, the worship committee also made special banners for the Christmas and Easter seasons. Students were urged to participate in worship services and morning devotions. As Rene Walpole said, Worship needs to be all students serving the Lord together, not part of the students trying to please and serve the others. On Mondays and Tuesdays the day was opened with devotions by faculty members and the administration. Thursdays were designated for homeroom devotions in which each homeroom had the opportunity to grow in Christ as a class. Friday morning devotions were set aside for students to share some of their thoughts and faith with others over the intercom. Students were also encouraged to use the special chapel for private meditation or small group worship. Worship needs to be all students serving the Lord together, not part of the students trying to please and serve the others. 22 worship 1) The Rainbow Club leads a worship service about creation using a slide show of paintings. 2) Pastor Beckmann leads the students and faculty during the opening chapel service held at Holy Cross. 3) Honey Tree inspires students during a memorable chapel service. 4) Senior Jeff Lindsay is one of the many students who gave thanks during the Thanksgiving Service. 5) Weekly chapel services were highlighted with performances by special groups like Joy, Inc. 6) During a special Thanksgiving Service, Junior Rene Walpole reads a Psalm of praise. 7) Pastor Schlie explains the significance of Epiphany. worship 23 Cadets perform in plays, concerts Cadets had many opportunities during the year to become involved in some type of showmanship or to back their fellow Concordians as they went before the lights. The drama department produced three plays during the year. The fall musical starred Lisa Rump, a princess fresh out of the swamps, in Once Upon a Mattress, which was a take-off on The Princess and the Pea. The Toybox production, The Cat Princess, amused audiences young and old alike when a princess was turned into a cat. Arsenic and Old Lace, the spring play involved two old ladies who thought it was their duty to kill old men and bury them in the cellar. To support our teams, cheerleaders arranged rousing pep sessions incl uding a tribute to our volleyball team after state finals. Teachers and students could create their own skits. Half-time performances at ball games included music by the varsity band and routines by the Pom Pon girls, twirler and drill teams. Instrumentalists and vocalists performed at the Fall Band Concert, the Pop Concert, the Christmas Concert, the Spring Sing, the Spring Band Concert. An average of 350 students participated in these events. Junior Lori Schinnerer expressed her feelings this way. I really don ' t think that school would be the same without some type of performances. They make you feel really special when someone tells you that you did a good job. ...

Home- coming week was full of activities that the faculty, as well as stu- dents, participated in. Spirit Week, which was designated by the Homecoming Committee, included special dress days, like slob day, reverse day. Wizard of Oz day, hat and sock day and maroon and white day, and Freshman initiation, which lasted for three days. These special activities, along with the colorful hall and locker decora- tions, helped get Cadets psyched The hardest part of Homecom- ing week is trying to initiate fresh- men who are bigger than you. up for the big weekend. In the annual Powder Puff game, the seniors triumphed over the ju- niors, 14-6. Coleen Kennedy and Yvonne Borchelt scored touch- downs tor the seniors, while Mar- die Macomber scored the junior touchdown. Homecoming night, Zollner Sta- K ««r •uu dium was alive with excitement as spirited Cadets filled the stands, each class wondering who would win the float competition. The sophomore float won, carrying out the theme, There ' s no place like home. While the sophomores proved victorious, the Cadet football team fell to the Hawks, as Harding won, 22-8. The loss didn ' t put a damper on the dance the next night, as Roxanne Hill was crowned Home- coming Queen, 1976. Her atten- dents were seniors Dru Quilhot and Lori Bruick, and juniors Linda Meyer and Caria Scheiman. 26 homecoming 1) The 1976 Homecoming Court: Linda Meyer and Mike Schaefer, John Ackmann and Lori Bruick, Dave Gemmer and Dru Quilhot, Queen Roxanne Hill and Scott Fritz, Eric Riebersal and Caria Scheiman. 2) Wizard of Oz Day brought Glenda, (Denise Schmidt) and the Cowardly Lion (Kari Volkert) to Concordia. 3) Mr. Breininger proves that teachers have spirit too. 4) The Court couples dance to the song If after the Queen was crowned. 5) Stand up for the Cadets.

The play, a comical take-off on the fairy tale, The Princess and the Pea, was filled with songs and plenty of slapstick humor. The plot centered on Prince Dauntless (Bob Malcolm) ... really worked hard to produce a first rate show. and his search for a wife who would be abe to pass the tests invented by his mother (Jaynee Vandenberg) and the Wizard (Thorn Hofrichter). The 13th princess to try for Dauntless ' hand was the Princess Winnifred (Lisa Rump). She seemed to be an unlikely candidate, but her effort was aided by the mute King (Ray Fahlsing), the Jester (Matt Andersen), and the Minstrel (Gerry Schmidt). Sir Harry (Scott Fritz) and Lady Larkin (Roxanne Hill), who were secretly married, were especially interested in Winnifred ' s success so their own marriage would be legal. Eventually, true love conquered all. Dauntless and Winnifred were wed, and the story had an old- fashioned happy ending. As Miss Shrubsall put it, Everything worked together. The actors, the stagecrew, the musicians, and the costume people put in long hours and really worked hard to produce a first rate show. 1) Lady Larkin and Sir Harry proclaim tlieir love for each other as they sing Yesterday I Loved You. 2) Princess Winnifred makes her debut after swimming the moat, as the court looks on in astonishment. 3) The King, the Minstrel, and the Jester sing about their mischievous adventures. 28 once upon a mattress Princess delights youngsters For the eighth year in a row, children of all ages were delighted by a Toybox production. This year ' s show was The Cat Princess. The story centered around Princess Elaine (Sara It was great to see the kids having so much fun. Haas), who wanted the magical power she would gain by capturing the witch ' s cat (Ginger Pape). She made her father the king (Mike Meyer) visit Morton the Magician (Dan Hartman), and they, along with the reluctant jester. Twirl (Bob Malcolm), proceeded to track down the witch (Jane Rentschler). Beginning February 28, the show went on tour for a week. They visited Shepherd of the City, St. Joe Hospital, the Gingerbread House, Johnny Appleseed School and Training Center, the Fort Wayne Community Schools special education classes, and the Three Rivers Montessori School. The final performances were held here at Concordia, Saturday, March 5. The cast put in many long hours preparing the play, but as Sara Haas said, ' It was worth it. It was great to see the kids having so much fun. 1) Twirl warns the king of the danger attactied to the witch ' s cat. 2) The witch strikes terror into the heart of Twirl. 3) Help behind the scenes: Miss Shrubsall — director: Mr. Bisbee — music director. Ginger Pape — assistant director: Kari Ramsey — lighting: Sara Haas. Mike Meyer. Lynne Haller. Juanita Bryant — set construction. 4) The Toyt ox cast: Robert Malcolm. Mike Meyer. Jane Rentschler. Ginger Pape. Dan Hartman. Sara Haas. toybox : Cadets keep Christmas traditional Within the student body, the spirit of the holiday was shared through Concordia ' s traditions. The weekend before Christmas, the music department held the Christmas Concert. All the choirs participated along with handbell choirs and Varsity band. To close Concordia ' s celebration preserved the old fashioned spirit of Christmas. the concert, all the choirs took part in a candlelight processional while singing traditional carols. December 23 the Christmas Dance was held at the lU-Purdue ballroom. The theme, Reflections of Christmas, was carried through in the decorations with tloaiing candles and small mirrors on the tables. The band Malachi provided music for the couples ' enjoyment. Several groups added color to the school with their decorations. The Art Survey classes made a banner of the Christmas seals out of construction paper. The Lumo staff collected money from the student body and bought a tree tor the lounge. As senior Bob Malcolm put it, Concordia ' s celebration preserved the old fashion spirit of Christmas. 30 Christmas 1) Loading a car, Bruce Thomas helps with citrus fruit delivery. 2) The concert concluded with a candlelight processional. 3) In the lounge, Kevin Schweiwie and Tony Nern examine the lounge tree. 4) Seniors Kim Preston, Joann Haller and Elaine Koenig enjoy a Christmas party during first lunch. 5) The ' 76 Christmas dance was held at the lU- Purdue Ballroom, with the band Malachi . 6) Debbie Locker and date enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. 7) Handbell ringers John Wesche, Marcia Voelker, and Stan Pierce add to the holiday spirit. Christmas 31 Concordia shares Christmas spirit Having the opportunity to share Christmas with others made this a more meaningful celebration. Cadets found that sharing their Christmas spirit with others in the community enhanced their own Christmas celebrations. This year ' s Christmas Bureau project was a big success according to co-chairmen Kris Jordan and Julie Engebrecht. Julie said, I think that our Christmas Bureau project helped a lot of people, and the spirit of homerooms working together played an important part in the Christmas celebration. Through the Bureau, Cadets helped make Christmas a little brighter for 29 families around the city. On December 22, the student body took part in Christmas at Concordia. The service was held at St. Paul ' s and was televised Christmas day for the benefit of shut-ins. Individual groups also participated in the celebration. The Singers gave up many of their evenings a few weeks before Christmas to give concerts at various locations around the city, including the Ft. Wayne Country Club, the Imperial House, Geoglein ' s Barn, and many others. The painting class joined with other high schools in the area to make a mural of the Twelve Days of Christmas for St. Joe Hospital. The Latin and French Clubs went caroling together at the Towne House Nursing Home. These events helped the Christmas spirit come alive at Concordia, and-as junior Laura Roemke commented, Having the opportunity to share Christmas with others made this a more meaningful celebration. - H E ? i H ( ' 1 -I 1 32 Christmas m incrc were in thc c countnj hcphcrii iDij in tl)c jiclii. kccpiHi} •h over their tlcck t. .

Social Studies sparked by elections With the help of films, tapes and other visual aids, the Social Stud- ies Department gave students a better understanding of them- selves, society, and the world in w hich they live. The department, headed by Mr. Pinnow, provided thought-provoking material with which to stage debates, trials, and simulation games. The election year provided stim- ulating subject matter for heated debates in government classes. With the many different types of media used, students could evalu- ate their own beliefs about govern- ment, make critical judgments about the past, and learn how they fit into the social spectrum of today. To sum up the importance of Social Studies, Mr. Pinnow said, Social Science embraces every aspect of life: a man ' s relationship with people, with government, and with his personal feelings about himself. 36 social studies J II II warn - r- ,. - ' -lA 1) In world history class students led by Mr. LeBeau studied civilization in the Ro- man Empire. 2) In Psychology Tim Krucke- berg whizzes through the puzzle as Senior Dave Roesner takes a closer look. 3) Keep- ing score during Current Events is Senior Ellen Nauss. 4) Political issues stimulate dis- cussions during Current Events. 5) Mr. Es- chels compares the political parties in 4th hour government. 6) Senior Brenda Werling Is baffled by a psychology puzzle. _ social studies 37 Science explores CPR and atoms ... fulfilling His command to subdue the earth. Though each class covered com- pletely different concepts, the main theme of Concordia ' s science classes was to help the students appreciate and accept their role and responsibility in God ' s cre- ation. In General Biology, Cadets stud- ied the functions of bacteria, plants and humans, while Ad- vanced Biology students learned C.P.R., visited the I.U. Medical Center and other Fort Wayne labs. More complicated equipment and research projects provided a more challenging approach to Biology. Earth Science classes, composed of freshmen and sophomores, studied the basic design of the earth and its crust. Mr. Anderson kept his chemistry students interested through pro- jects and experiments designed to reveal the nature of atoms, chemi- cal solutions and the structure of molecules. The physics course was designed to appeal to more students than just the future physicists. Artistic, religious, musical and historical as- pects of physics were emphasized as well as the scientific applica- tions. Mr. Gayers feels that When we can take God ' s laws and learn to use th em, then we are fulfilling His command to subdue the earth. ' 1) Amy Berger and Laura Biggs exper- ience difficulty in finding cellular organ- elles. 2) Sophomore Jeff Massucci uses a steady hand while working on a Biol- ogy experiment. 3) Mr. Gayer shows physics students that what goes up . . . 4) must come down (with constant ac- celeration). 5) In Advanced Biology, stu- dents find that popcorn and team work make the labs go easier. English goes back to basics Teachers are currently attempting to . . . improve our courses and the abilities the students can acquire. Concordia ' s English department put heavier emphasis on some of the basics of English. Teachers of composition courses stressed more writing practice, and went back to the teaching of spelling. Reading comprehension and vocab ulary improvement were also stressed. Mr. Jordan commented, Teachers are currently attempting to develop closer ties with colleges, businesses, and industries to determine how we can improve our courses and tht abilities the students can acquire j j 1) Cheryl Kiefer and Kathy Gerke prepare their documentary for Mr. Jordan. 2) Freshmen Sandy Gaby and Kelli Hillery examine newspapers for their English assignment. 3) Kurt SImerman displays his skill at constructing model airplanes for his English presentation. 40 english Speech, Theater Arts aid confidence students taking speech and theater arts classes acquired self- confidence by making presentations before a group. Speech classes were run informally, with no books or lectures. By making impromptu and planned speeches and playing charades, students became accustomed to being put on the spot. Mark Braun commented, The highlight of the class was John Waldren ' s pizza-throwing exhibition. I thought he was going to drop it. The highlight of the class was John Waldren ' s pizza-throwing exhibition. In Theater Arts, students developed skill and appreciation for the dramatic arts. The class made trips to local theater shows and worked with improvisations. They also learned about the technical side of making a production. Junior Juanita Bryant remarked, This was the most enjoyable class I ' ve taken. 1) John Waldren persuades his speech class to speak out against busing. 2) In Theater Arts, Roxanne Hill applies makeup to Lisa Rump while Alana Workinger watches the procedure. 3) Standing up to class abuse. John Ackmann maintains composure during his hazing speech. speech-theater arts 41 Religion offers new course format A new program for course selec- tion was used in the religion de- partment this year so that juniors and seniors could study a better rounded selection of topics. The program was set up so that in one semester of religion, students would take one of the three basics (Old Testament, New Testament, doctrine) for a quarter and a course designed for more discus- sions and media presentations the other quarter. Sophomore Kris Jordan said, When students get a chance to talk, interesting ideas and thoughts about their faith as compared to others can be ex- changed between themselves and their teachers. This year ' s selec- tion for discussion-media classes included Comparative Religion; His- R ■ 9 1) A representative from Luther Bible Translators talks to a Religion class about spreading the Good News. 2) One of the discussions in Religion class concerned the Issue of abortion. 3) Pastor Schlle reflects on the viewpoint of junior Bob Scaer. tory of the Church; Love, Mar- riage, and Family; and Contempo- rary Problems. Most students had different teachers as well as differ- ent classes when they changed at the quarter. Another addition to the religion department was a new teacher, Mr. Mike Meyer, who taught ninth grade classes. Encouraged by the improved student attitude, religion teachers are looking forward to ex- panding their program next year. When students get a chance to talk, interesting ideas and thoughts about their faith as compared to others can be exchanged ... 42 religion Classes study foreign cultures It is important that many students take foreign languages tb learn how others live and learn. The foreign language department headed by Mr. Falkenstern tried to teach students the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The pupils enrolled in the three languages offered found this task a challenge but with the use of the language lab, new textbooks for Latin classes, and other re- sources, students developed these skills. While indicating that skills are valuable, Mr. Falkenstern added, It is important that many stu- dents take foreign languages to learn how others live and learn. Clubs were formed in which inter- ested foreign language students learned more about the heritage and culture of the countries they studied. 1) An important skill learned in German I is translating German to English. 2) French culture is reflected in this bulletin board display. 3) Rick Shedd captures the culprit in a play put on by Latin III and IV students. foreign language 43 New books spark interest in Math New Algebra and Geometry textbooks made learning math more fun this year. Sophomore Jill Brueggeman stated, I think the new textbook made Geom etry easier to enjoy. The comic strips gave everyone a laugh just when it was needed most. In the individualized Math class Algebra II students worked with in- depth Math research problems, involving a subject related to Math, while Geometry students built models to visualize the figures they were working with. In Trigonometry, upperclassmen I think the new textbook made Geometry easier to enjoy ... learned to apply mathematics to finding sides of triangles. Senior Chris Hellwege said, Trig is giving me a good base for my college education. 1) Mr. Gayer attempts to interest Trigonometry students in the set of integers. 2) As sophomore Lori Wetmore looks on Mr. Luepke helps junior Chris Preus with an advanced trig problem. 3) This freshman receives coaching from Mr. Werner.

Miss Ross, Mr. Wayne Panning, Basic Business teaches the specific skills which will be needed in the outside world. and Mr. Parrish had to increase their work loads to account for the loss of Mrs. Carr, a business teacher last year. Advanced Busi- ness and Data Processing classes were dropped, but Data Processing techniques were incorporated into Accounting classes. Basic Business continued to in- form students of techniques to be used in jobs or business colleges. Junior Pam Lapp commented, Basic Business teaches the spe- cific skills which will be needed in the outside world. In Typing classes any student could find use- ful skills, regardless of future plans. Sophomore Nancy Andresen stated, I find myself using my typing experience in other classes.

The new format offered semester courses in drawing, metalcraft, painting, ceramics, printing, and textile de- sign. The changed program al- lowed students to go into an in- depth study of his or her favorite field. Also offered was art survey, a two-semester introductory course that let the students ex- periment with a variety of art me- dia. A new addition to the art depart- ment was a crafts and painting a place to explore your talents and to experience a unique type of self discovery. teacher, Miss Joan Miller, an ex- cellent artist who participated in a bicentennial art exchange with Great Britain.

After two years of all girls, six brave men have ventured into the kitchen realm to prepare for life on their own. All six guys took the Advanced Foods course, and as senior Art Rice said, I think that Home-Ec prepares young men to be bachelors in the future. The students who took the Home-Ec courses have a good se- lection of semester classes to choose from. Besides Advanced Foods, there is an Advanced Clothes course, a Home Manage- . ment course, and a Family Care course, plus the two semester course, Introduction to Food and i Clothing. 4k The Home-Ec department went on several field trips. The Family Care class took a trip to a nursery school, while the Home Manage- ment class visited the meat de- partment of a grocery store. Mrs. Roop said that, Home-Ec courses are good preparation for future careers, like nursing, dietet- ics, and fashion design.

Mr. Gallmeier s+ated, The R.V.C. program is a wonderful op- portunity for the non-college geared students. They could take such courses as Beauty Culture, Child Care, Metal Trades, and Automotive Occupations. These students received three credits a semester. Seniors could also be placed directly on the job and get first-hand experience plus a salary through the co-op program. The R.V.C. program is a won- derful opportunity for the non-co lege geared student. 1) At R.V.C.

Courses offered for these students were World of Construction, Draft- ing, and General Shop. Advanced classes were also offered for stu- dents interested in metals, weld- ing, and carpentry. To aid in their understanding, guest speakers came and talked about careers in contracting and the problems con- tractors face. Mr. Weiss said, In- dustrial Arts is worthwhile for stu- dents interested in after school ca- reers in wood working and carpen- try. 1) During drafting Mr. Weiss assists a stu- dent in drawing scale models. 2) Working in General Shop, Junior Bob Rodenbeck starts with the basics. 3) Joel Butler and Gary Clark are lab partners in electricity, a course which was expanded to two classes this year. industrial arts 49 Weight training introduced in P.E. The Physical Education classes at Concordia were, in Ms. Stat- zell ' s opinion, provided to give stu- dents a release during a long school day. The Boy ' s classes were conduct- ed outside on decent days and in- side on not-so-decent days. Out- side, they would play touch foot- ball, soccer and practice track ... to realize the extent of their capabilities using not only their heads, but their entire bodies skills. Indoor sports included vol- leyball and a favorite, Bombard- ment, also known as warball. The Advanced classes worked in areas such as archery, bowling and golf. A new class in Physical Educa- tion was weightlifting. Cadets worked out in the weight room on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and on the remaining days they participated in running, jumping and events centered around keep- ing in shape. Girl ' s P.E. centered mainly around sports like volleyball, track, soccer and gymnastics. The Ad- vanced classes went bowling, had a unit on First Aid and participated in an Outdoor Living unit. Ms. Statzell said that in other classes, students mainly learn to use their minds. In my class, she said, I want to help my girls realize the extent of their capabili- ties using not only their heads, but their entire bodies. 1) Sophomore Daphne Booker catches the basketball after a bounce pass. 2) The ball is up and the fourth hour guys watch as they anticipate two points. 3) Ms. Statzell demonstrates correct basketball form to her Girl ' s P.E. class. 4) Kel Preston ' s face mirrors the pain experienced while doing curls. 50 physical education Service work organizes departments The Instructional Materials Cen- ter, the Science, Guidance, Phys- ical Education and the Music de- partments just might not be the same without the loyal help of their service workers.

Through service work, Cadets learned to handle responsibility and were able to participate in areas which interested them. At the same time, they made life a little easier for the faculty and ad- ministration. Sophomore guidance worker Chris Clark says, I guess it ' s helped me because I appreciate more what those people in the of- fice have to go through just for one person.

Under the leadership of co-edi- tors Barb Braunlin and John Jor- dan, the Lumo staff worked enthu- siastically to produce this year ' s yearbook. Besides daily classroom sessions, the staff gave up many of their weekends and vacations to meet crucial deadlines. Layout people designed pages, fitting photographs and copy into good arrangements, while copy people produced copy blocks and captioned pictures and wrote headlines for each page. Business managers kept records of adver- tisements and the financing of the book. Striving to capture the true emotions of the students, teachers and staff members at C.L.H.S., photographers used all times of the day and week to picture the life of a Cadet. Senior staff member Elaine Koenig summed it up in the follow- ing way, Being a member of the Lumo staff helped me to get a good view of journalism and helped me to learn to work togeth- er with other members of the staff. 1) Editor Barb Braunlin and Julie tngelbrecht confer about varsity football copy. 2) 1976- 77 Luminarian staff.

As junior Denise Schmidt said, I learned to pre- sent the facts as they are and to present an acc urate view of the school and school events. Although the publication of the newspaper was the primary con- cern of the LU-HI staff, the class itself took on a new format this year. LU-HI was conducted as a regular class with a text book and regular assignments. This year ' s paper was centered around school life and school ac- tivities. By publishing every other week, the newspaper provided stu- dents with more up-to-date infor- mation on current events and hap- penings around school than in past years. Besides reporting on school events, the paper occasionally printed an in- depth feature. To- pics ranged from drugs and alco- hol to how to prepare for college. More student involvement and input were encouraged this year. Students were urged to voice their opinions or concerns through let- ters to the editor and guest edi- torials.

Students joined JROTC to learn leadership, discipline, and military education. Sophomore Steve Crosby stated, It ' s a good experience because you learn to respect others. The freshmen concentrated on first aid and introduction to marksmanship. The sophomores learned military history along with methods of instruction. The main activities for the juniors were psychology and map reading. Seniors were given staff positions of leading other military squads. Outside of class work, military organizations gave students the chance to use their military skills. The Girls ' Co-Ed Drill team and the Color Guard participated in the Republican kick-off in November at Students can always use this knowledge throughout everything they do in life. the Scottish Rite Auditorium. The Varsity Rifle team boasted an exceptional season with a record of 90-7. The Annual Formal Inspection was held on March 28th. All of the members of JROTC were inspected by three Army officers and our department were given a rating of honor unit with distinction. The entire unit took a one day field trip to Wright- Patterson Air Force Base later in the spring. The military department was advised by Sgt. Paul Miller and Capt. Thomas Agness. Captain Agness commented, We need military and its functions to teach students how to have a sense of leadership. Students can always use this knowledge throughout everything they do in life. 54 jrotc 1) Doreen Crumrine receives the first place trophy for the Girls ' Exhibition Drill Team. 2) Kirk Rains and Dave Palmer help usher for Christmas at Concordia in St. Paul ' s church. 3) Members of the Rifle Team practice their target shooting. 4) The Freshmen Drill Team performs at Concordia Day under the command of A!

Seventy-eight musicians strong, the band made its pres- ence known during pep-sessions and games, as well as contributing greatly to the entertainment at Concordia. The band performed at three major concerts this year. Under the direction of Mr. Ray Sievert, it executed its musical pieces like Pastorale and Allegro from the William Tell Overture to an exceptional degree. Flutist Patty Wilson said, The band is a very close group; everyone gets along very well with Mr. Sievert. This has also been a busy marching year for the band. They performed at halftime during all home games as well as participat- ing at a Valparaiso University half- time program and an All-City Marching Festival in September.

Student Council provided an outlet for student interaction with faculty and administration. Members were involved in the social life as well as the academic life of Concordia. Advised by Mr. Fred Weiss and under the leadership of Pres. Thorn Hofrichter, Vice-pres. Matt Andersen, Sec. Dru Quilhot and Treas. Ray Fahlsing, Student Council provided the student body with buzz books, sold Ziggy t- shirts, sponsored dances, and through its committees carried out various other projects. The committees and their heads were: Publicity, Dave Gemmer, Jeff Holderman, Bob Malcolm; Assemblies, Jane Rentschler; C.C.C, Kris Jordan, Julie Engebrecht; Dance, Dennis Erwin, Arnie Fritz; Worship, Annette Shelton, Lori Shinnerer; Buzz Book Homecoming, Carol Haller, Roxanne Hill; and Christmas Dance Prom, Sandi Craig, Vicki Oberholtzer. Most decisions were made by the whole council instead of just the Executive Board, and student input played a more important part.

Are you kidding? exclaimed a teacher, When we play basketball, you can ' t even find your way down the court! Boys ' Intramurals and G.A.A. (Girls ' Athletic Association) provided a chance for girls and guys to participate in team sports like volleyball, basketball and bowling. Twice a week, boys met for Intramurals. Guys chose their own teams and played each other or the faculty members. They played for bowling, volleyball and basketball trophies. G.A.A. , which was held twice a week, allowed girls to compete in volleyball in the fall, bowling and gymnastics in the winter and golf in the spring. The girls had their annual Reverse Hayride in October out at Meyer ' s Barn, followed by a square dance. I played volleyball in G.A.A., and I really had a good time, commmented a junior.

This year, the pom-pon girls and feature twirler Bonnie Oxiey accompanied the band in half-time routines, parades, pep sessions, a contest at North Side, and at a Valparaiso University football game. The co-captains Annette Kibellus, Patty Wilson, and Linda Henschen led the squad in routines to music including Theme from Police Story , Ease on Down the Road , and Theme from S.W.A.T. This year the squad purchased a new style of letter jacket and also sold sponges and held a car wash to raise money for their new uniforms. Being a pom-pon girl was really interesting and challenging. It offered me the chance to get acquainted with a lot more people. At times, practicing got to be a chore, but yet, overall, I think it really paid off in our performances, stated sophomore pom-ponner Patty Cordes. Feature twirler, Bonnie OxIey, performed during half-time at football and basketball games. Bonnie highlighted the Homecoming halftime by performing as a matador within a bull ring formed by the band. Bonnie independently created her own solo routines throughout the year. The Pep Club was formed to assist the cheerleaders at games and pep sessions and to build spirit in the school. Tuesdays after school the 25 members of the club gathered to make posters for the upc oming games or to learn some of the new cheers. Members of the Pep Club wore the new Ziggy t-shirts at all the home basketball games. Sophomore Karen Schweppe commented, I joined the club because I like to yell and show school spirit.

According to Mr. Sievert, Stage Band offers per- sonal expression through improvi- sation and solos in the perfor- mance of popular and jazz music. Under student leadership, three handbell choirs performed a vari- ety of music at parties, concerts and retirement homes. Monica Bultimeier, a handbell choir mem- ber, said why she thought it was a worthwhile organization.

Singers brought cheer to retirement homes and hos- pitals and entertained at many par- ties at the Marriot Inn, the Fort Wayne Country Club, and the Impe- rial House. Expressing her attitude towards Singers, Lisa Rump said, I consider Singers a good experience because it gives us a chance to wit- ness to people and have a lot of fun at the same time. Singers spent three and a half hours a week out- side of school working on madrigals, contemporary and popular music. They were led by Mr. B.

The Biology club gathered every first and third Thursday of the month. The club provided stu- dents interested in biology the chance to get experience in bio just for fun, stated advisor Mr. Huebschman. Bio club went on field trips to a laboratory at Parkview Hospital and a nature reserve here in Ft. Wayne. The club was a combination of biology and advanced biology students. The officers were Pres. Terry Meyer; V. Pres. Ginger Pape; and Treas. Mark Kramer. The German club, sponsored by Mr. Falkenstern, was assisted by the officers Pres. Nancy Bulmahn, V. Pres. John Falkenstern, Sec. Mike Hollman, and Treas. Julie Engebrecht. The club sold choco- late candies to raise money for its trip to a German community. Students in the club learned to appreciate the language and life style of the German culture. The Latin club, consisting of approximately 30 students, went Christmas caroling, held its Val- entine cookie sale, and in Janu- ary, feasted at the annual Latin banquet.

Daphne Booker visited several universities, went to Chicago to see the play THE WIZ, and held a spring picnic. To raise money for these activities, the club sponsored several dances, bake sales, and a fashion show. The club was advised by Pastor Schlie. The Future Business Leaders of America, which was advised by Miss Ross, spent their time learning more about the business world. To increase their knowledge of business procedures, the club visited the business departments of General Telephone, International Harvester, and IBM. Being in FBLA showed me first-hand what business is really like, commented senior Kenny Hayes. When the members of the club weren ' t visiting companies, they took time to sharpen their business skills in preparation for the annual FBLA convention in Muncie during April.

These men worked through long, hard hours of practice and strenuous games and matches. The coaches picked the letter winners at the end of each season. Under the direction of Mr. Breininger and officers, Pres. Rick Thomas, V. Pres. Todd Taykowski, Sec. John Ackmann, and Treas. Dave Gemmer, the Lettermen ' s fund-raising activities included selling taffy apples, checking coats at basketball games, and their annual Donkey Basketball game. The proceeds went to completing the concession stand at the visitors ' side of Zollner Stadium and towards a trip to see a major ... it really makes you feel as if you have achieved something special. league baseball game during the spring of the year. The Donkey Basketball game was both anticipated and dreaded by the Lettermen and faculty teams. The donkeys had been trained to lie down, roll over, or buck continously to make it difficult for the players. The lettermen won the game with a score of 30-18. Mr. LeBeau, one of the faculty riders, explained that the donkeys were even more stubborn than ever. He said that was why they lost. Senior Gerry Schmidt said, Being in the Lettermen ' s Club is really an experience. Even if you aren ' t very active in it, it really makes you feel as if you have achieved something special.

The task set before them by Coach Massucci was to develop a respectable season and a positive attitude. In spite of the 2-7 record, the Varsity football team did just this. Our lack of size hurt us quite a bit — we just weren ' t very big, said Mr. Massucci. Injuries forced many team members to play both offensive and defensive positions. Senior co-captain Mark Koehlinger commented, Even Even though a lot of players had to go both ways, we were able to do just as well as the bigger schools that had specialty teams though a lot of players had to go both ways, we were able to do just as well as the bigger schools that had a specialty team. The Cadets beat Dekalb and Wayne in hard fought defensive games. Their toughest game, fought against the North Side Redskins, ended in defeat after 3 overtimes. Mr. Massucci explained, The team had a good attitude; they never stopped trying. The punting, by junior Greg Hayes, was one of our strong points. He had the highest average in the SAC. Mr. Massucc i believes that, Winning football takes dedication, cooperation, and team work, but in order to compete you must make yourselves stronger and quicker. r . fff jy i t ' -- I ' v ' «| 1) Inspired by the words of Coach Mas- succi, Tim Hermann looks anxious to get on the field. 2) At the Homecoming pep-ses- sion, CO- captains Tim Hermann, Greg Dur- den, and Mark Koehlinger encourage fans to support the team. 3) Hard playing caused many injuries as shown at right. 4) Carrying the ball, quarterback Rick Thomas exhibits his versatility. w 1) James Lowery recovers a fumble in the end zone to score six points against South Side. 2) QuarterbacVt Rick Thomas prepares to receive the second down snap. 3) Cadet lineman prepare to meet the Barons in the ■■Pit. football 79 Frosh football earns winning season I think things look really prom- ising if we can get together in the next couple of years. The Frosh team was the only football squad that provided the school with a winning season, 4 wins and 3 losses. Coaches Brein- inger and Schlie were pleased with the team ' s progress, even though they encountered many injuries. There were more injuries this year than there have been in the last 5 years put together, noted Mr. Breininger. This forced team members to learn many different positions. Mr. Breininger also stat- ed, Having to switch players to different positions was a problem. The coaches found team mem- bers eager to play, with a desire to do their best. Hopefully avoiding numerous injuries, these boys can look forward to a good season next year. Team member John Nold added, I think things look really promising if we can get it to- gether in the next couple of years.

They made their way through sectionals, re- gionals, ana on to the state cham- pionships, concluding their season as runner-up to a tough South Bend Adams team, which included three boys. Concordia considered that its team rightfully earned the title as Number 1 Girls ' Volleyball team in the state. They also won the SAC championship, and were honored at a banquet given by the North Side Optimists. Miss Statzell commented on how the girls played during the state tournament, They handled the pressure well; they played consis- tent ball, and kept getting a little better every time they played. They never let things bother them. I was pleased with the way they played. Throughout the season the game plan was to get back to the fundamentals of volleyball and to work as a unit, not six separate players. Team members felt that the repetition of drills helped a lot. One of them stated, Once we got the basic fundamentals down. everything fell together. Teamwork was an important word to the team. Playing as a team and having a feeling for that team was an essential ingredient to their success. Senior Lisa Ens- ley said, I was pleased with what we accomplished in both the win- ning aspect and the team ' s close- ness. We did this well, because ev- ery member of the team was will- ing to sacrifice her time to work with everyone else. A combined ef- fort of each person allowed us to work as one unit — a team.

The Varsity basketball team was made up of three seniors, three juniors, and three sophomores. Experienced senior lettermen Art Rice and Steve Kanning were the team floor leaders. Senior Darrell Dennis didn ' t see action until late in the season because of a football knee injury. Juniors Dave Thieme, Ricardo Hawkins, and John Falkenstern provided bench strength with hustle, rebounding, and shooting ability. The Youth Patrol consisted of sophomores James Lowery, Ron Beasley, and Jeff Parrish. The young Cadet squad ' s shooting talent made up for its lack of height. The team gained confidence by beating some of the best teams around, stated Coach Glenn Parrish. During the SAC Holiday Tournament, the Cadets pulled a 76-72 upset victory over the Wayne Generals, who carried a 2 state ranking into the game. The unpredictable squad surprised many city teams and the season record ended up as 10-12. Next year ' s hopes look bright with six returning varsity members and a tall reserve team coming up.

The Frosh basketball A team was one of the best teams ever, ending with a record of 17-1. The B team ' s season record was 8- 1. The sixteen players were talented in different areas which made very balanced teams. Gary Stokes was the high scorer with an average of approximately 16 points a game. John Nold used his height advantage to pull down the most rebounds. The team ' s hustler on the court was Cedric Ferrell, and Ricky Hall was one of the best ball handlers. On February 5th the Frosh A team brought home a championship victory from the Bishop Luers tournament. Coach Meyer s tated, I emphasized team work and discipline which will be useful for their future years in basketball. Both of the teams ' aggressiveness and their ability to execute the full court man-to-man press were reasons for the squads ' successes. 1) Center John Nold jumps high for the tip at the Cadets vs. Eagles game. 2) Gary Stokes hits two more points on the way to his 17 point game high. 3) Ricl y Hall, one of the team ' s better ball handlers, shows his shooting ability.

The purpose of the reserve games was to give the players experience so they were ready for varsity level, stated Coach Wayne Panning. This year the Reserve basketball team compiled a 13-7 season record averaging 53 points a game. The junior members of the team as well as the sophomores all improved over the AV2 months of practices and games.

Jim Brackmann was one of the most improved players and used his ability to hustle. The top scorer and rebounder was the 6 ' 8 center Jon Shiley. Pete Gerken always kept his mind on improving through each game. Mike Hollman worked as a team ball player, concerned with assists more than scoring himself. The squad was very content with their season because they beat some of the best teams in the city including Wayne, Harding, and Snider.

Looking forward to a good season with 13 returning players, the girls got off to a quick start by winning their first eight games. Though the girls lost five out of their last six games, mainly because of low shooting percentages, they kept playing defensive ball. Sue Schmidt said, We had hard time getting some kind of offense going towards the end of the season, but we kept getting stronger on defense. I think we had the best defense in the city. Miss Statzell remarked, The girls learned to be gracious winners as well as gracious losers. As a result of an effort to play team ball, the leading scorer varied from game to game. Kim Preston was consistently a spark off the bench and could be counted on to drive to the basket. Lisa Ensley was the team ' s leading rebounder with 165 rebounds. Mary Roehrs proved to be a threat to opposing teams both offensively and defensively as she compiled 143 points on the season. Lisa and Mary were named to the all-SAC first team. Throughout the season team members reaccessed individual goals and team goals. Miss Statzell noted, The girls came in with a winning attitude — they set goals for themselves and tried for fulfillment of those goals. The reserve squad played five games this year and ended up with a 4-1 record, losing only to Dwenger in two overtimes. Freshman Becky Snyder said, It was good for us to be able to play the older, more experienced team members. Coach Statzell was optimistic about the prospects for next year. We ' re losing six seniors, but I ' m really excited about the talent in this group of girls. The coach summarized the team ' s feelings about the season this way: All season long we tried to get the ball through the hoop and play tight defense. We had a winning season not only as far as a win — loss record, but we added some new offenses, tried different defenses, and worked on playing like a team — in this respect we also had a winning season. ... we added some new offenses, tried different defenses, and worked on playing like a team . . . l)On the way to a victory against North.

New uniforms and props for pep sessions also came out of their hard-earned money. Last fall, a new cheerleading squad of Junior guys was formed. The girls really enjoyed working with them! They were so crazy! Sue Braun, a junior, summed up her own feelings about the year, I think that school spirit has really improved since the beginning of the year. It sure does make cheer- leading a lot more fun! 100 cheerleaders 1) 1976-77 Varsity cheerleaders: Nancy Springer, Robin Coleman, Barb Dohrmann, Sue Braun, Cindy Curry and Colleen Kennedy. 2) All 1976-77 Cheerleaders join in for a salute to our winning volleyball team. 3) Freshman cheerleaders: Arlene Kennedy, Lori Meyer, Pam Wimberly, Chris Bultemeyer, and Kelli Hillary. 4) Reserve cheerleaders: Jane Miller, Katherine Krueckeberg, Tina Dahling, Janet Scherer and Sherry Gorrell. 5) Varsity cheerleaders perform sidelines during the Cadet-Panther game. cheerleaders 101 Despite all the study time involved, school was often a time for sharing a laugh with a friend. 102 people division In a body of 868 students, it was surpris- ingly easy to be alone, and to feel los t in the shuffle. ■ people division 103 Board helps in successful NCA visit To carry out the rules and policies of the Board was the key role of the administration. The Board of Directors, made up of thirty-six men from area congregations, two teachers and two pastors, met monthly to discuss school policies. An important item on their agenda again this year was that of finishing the chapel-auditorium. The Board, assisted by Principal Guenther Herzog, planned the visitation of the NCA team in December. The vistors were impressed with our school and said, The religious emphasis of CLHS is obvious. This makes yf 1) Vice Principal Rev.

To carry out these rules and policies was the key role of the administration, said Pastor Beckmann. The Guidance department, led by Carl Gallmeier, assisted students in planning worthwhile study programs and post high school careers. Also counseling students having questions and problems were Mr. Parrish, Mr. Werner, and Mrs. Crownover. Mr. Brackmann, the athletic director, was responsible for scheduling sporting events throughout the year. 104 administration Staff workers on call to assist These people . . . deserve recognition for tine fine job tiney do The cafeteria staff headed by Mrs. Hail started a new program this year. It offered students a variety of choices in their meal and was called the CADET Lunch Program. Each letter offered kids a different choice of meat, vegetable, salad, fruit, and milk. As a result there was less waste and a greater variety of food. There was also a new salad bar; so if lunch didn ' t appeal to people they could make their own salad for the same price. Assisting faculty and the administration in making the school run more smoothly were the office workers. Two new members joined the staff, Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Buls. Along with Mrs. Roemke, Mrs. Dehmlow, Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Voelker, they kept records, set up appointments, and helped students. Keeping the school clean and repairing things were jobs filled by our custodians, Mr. Stein, Mr. Hall, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Henneman. They were always on call for any crisis. Mr. Gallmeier said of these workers, These people are a necessary part of our school and deserve recognition for the fine and important job they do.

He graduated from Valparaiso University after studying Greek and Theology. He accepted a call to CLHS after his graduation; I knew Concordia held the opportunity for me to teach Religion, work with young people, and to use my interest in Meyer often watches his favorite program, The Andy Griffith Show, while eating lasagna and potato chips. He said he enjoyed CLHS, saying, I really like the students here and hope to give them an attitude that they can carry over to the rest of their lives. As far as my future plans, I want to remain here at CLHS to fulfill my goals as a teacher. 106 faculty 1) Capt. Thomas Agness Purdue University, B.S. JROTC 2) Mr. Jon Anderson Purdue University, M.S.

I like it here, she said, everybody ' s very friendly and helpful. Born in Michigan, Miss Hampel has traveled quite a bit. She even lived in France for awhile. I really hope I can go back, she said. After a hard day at work, Miss Hampel said that she goes home and collapses. Much of her time was spent doing crafts which she en- joys immensely! I like the Christian environment at Concordia, said Miss Hampel. After doing my student teaching at a public school, Concordia is so dif- ferent. Everybody seems to care about each other. Introducing Miss Miller A brand new talent was added to the art department this year when Miss Joan Miller was added to the staff. Miss Miller, originally from Michigan, has studied both at Concordia, Ann Arbor and East Michigan University. Here at Concordia, she taught ceramics, jewelry-making and painting. In her spare time. Miss Miller did water-color paintings which she displayed at various shows and talent contests. She has even won several awards. I really do like it here, commented Miss Miller. The students and facu lty are super cooperative and willing to help each other.

Miss Schmook Miss Janice Schmook came to Concordia for a change in atmosphere, leaving her teaching position in St. Louis. Miss Schmook received her Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Physical Education and a minor in English at Concordia Teachers ' College in River Forest, Illinois. Outside of teaching English, Miss Schmook coached the girls ' gymnastics and tennis teams and was the advisor for the three squads of cheerleaders. In Miss Schmook ' s spare time, she relaxed and worked on crafts. Miss Schmook commented, This year has been a very busy year for me especially because I ' ve never taught English full time before. I really like the members o f the faculty and have enjoyed all the experiences of this year. Freshmen at Concordia were faced Freshmen entering Concordia found a variety of new experiences awaiting them. Laura Shultz re- marked, I was scared to death the first day. Homecoming gave the frosh a chance to become ac- quainted while building a second place float, decorating the first floor hallway, and going through the humiliation of initiation for three days. Sally Quilhot observed, Homecoming helped me get to know some really interesting peo- ple. High school provided freshmen with more choices about which classes or activities they wanted to become involved with than ever before. They were eagerly wel- comed into drama and music ac- tivities, clubs, fund drives, and sports. One freshman stated that, There are so many different things to do that anyone can find something they really like. But most of all, freshmen found that the friendship and concern shared I was scared to death the first day. by Cadets made them feel at home in Concordia. Chris Goeglein noted this, and said, The feeling of togetherness is wonderful. 1) During Homecoming week Sandy Bul- maiin remembers to wear tier hat and fresliman tag. 2) Freshmen class officers are: Pres., Tim Kierstead, Vice Pres..

This familiar tune was sung by most of our freshman class during Freshman Initiation. Freshman Ini- tiation was the time when the up- perclassmen had fun making their friends or brothers and sisters sing a song or recite the poem made for them. We know the upperclass- men had fun doing the initiating, but did the freshmen have fun? Doug Brackmann: It was kind of fun because you had to be on the lookout for the upperclass- men! LyIe King: I didn ' t think it was bad, but I sang the song 51 times the first day. John Nold: It was fun and good one day, but the second and third days it cooled off. Sue Engebrecht: It wasn ' t as scary as I thought it would be. It was a great way to meet people. It seemed to be unanimous that most of the freshmen thought initi- ation was fun. A few did have some suggestions for changes though. Dee Dee Barkley: I ' d suggest something other than singing. To- wards the end of the week, it got stupid. Kelly Macke: I wouldn ' t have it last three days. John Nold: I would have it last only one day and give the fresh- men the works the whole day . . . just singing the school song would be enough. Although most freshmen enjoyed initiation, there were a few prob- lems when they were tardy and had to do a lot of explaining to their teachers. Overall, most fresh- men would probably rate initiation as an experience to have — once. -.ji Randy Stokes anticipates the final I of freshman initiation. freshmen 117 share in the care and concern Sue Doehrmann chats with friends as she waits for class to begin.

You felt bored when nothing seemed to change, but excited with anticipation for your final high school years. As a sophomore, the whole world seemed to open its doors to you when you received the all important driver ' s license.

The half- time parade of floats is underway. Some of the floats are really good, like this year ' s winning sophomore float. Some of them are not so good, like this year ' s losing junior float. But how many of you know what is involved in building a terrif- ic float? First of all, it takes a su- per imagination and a good idea. But your ideas are limited. It has to follow the theme and it has to be constructed easily with little cost. Then you need people who are willing to spend a lot of time and energy building the float. No float goes up without some trou- ble. You can ' t get a wagon, or enough chicken wire, so it sits in someone ' s garage until the day be- fore Homecoming. Then you work like crazy and pray that it doesn ' t rain or it ' s not windy so that your float holds together. During the parade you either cheer like crazy when your float goes by, or you pretend you can ' t know who built it when it looks rotten. But you know you ' ve had fun building it, whether you win or lose. Building a float is a good way to get involved during Homecoming, and to let your spirit shine. ... you work like crazy and pray that it doesn ' t rain or it ' s not windy so that your float holds to- gether. sophomores 123 Julius Caesar.

Being a junior isn ' t necessarily the easiest thing in the world. The feeling of being already half-way there and only half-way through kept many members of the class wondering if it was really true that next year was their sen- ior year. While ail juniors took U.S. Histo- ry, many of them had new chal- lenges to look forward to in classes like sociology, A Cappella and chemistry. Finally, for the first time P.E. was not req uired. Class rings and S.A.T. tests added ex- citement to a junior ' s life, though not quite the same kind in both cases. The junior girls vowed that We ' ll get ' em next time after their first Powder Puff game. But perhaps this class was most con- tented when looking forward to their final year at Concordia. Be- ing a junior is okay, said Sue Braun, but just wait ' till next year!

A group of people saw this serious problem and when they realized that Concordia had a volleyball team that needed and deserved their spirit, a new squad of cheer- leaders was formed. The squad, consisting mainly of Kel Preston, John Falkenstern, Matt Hillery, John Nommay, Todd Taykowski, and Dave Daggett, showed that it was cool to cheer for their school. We knew that our volleyball team had it, said John Falkenstern, and we wanted to get ' em fired up. So we got together, ' revised ' a few varsi- ty cheers, and came up with our own. No one seemed to know what they did, but they seemed to have done something right. The enthusi- asm was overwhelming as fans joined them in clapping, screaming and raising the roofs at the games.

Psychology, Ad- vanced Biology, English Orienta- tion, and Government all offered Deciding what you are going to do after high school is the most important decision of your life. special challenges to these stu- dents. Along with school work, 48% of the seniors were faced with the responsibility of jobs. However, seniors still found the time during weekends and vaca- tions to have fun and be with friends by going to dances, mov- ies, and parties. School also pro- vided activities to fill leisure time and seniors found that through hard drive and experience, they filled major roles in plays, and held the highest responsibilities of school leadership. The Class of ' 77 was one of the few classes to ever win Powder Puff for two consecu- tive years. Seniors also displayed spirit by winning Homecoming hall decorations. However, seniors boast the record of losing the Homecoming float competition for the last two years. With all of the fun times and hard times, seniors were still faced with the big ques- tion: What will I do after high school? Senior Cindy Hendricks commented, Deciding what you are going to do after high school is the most important decision of your life. 1) Senior Class of ' 77 officers: Sec. Monica Bultemeier; Treas.

Senior leadership takes VB to state by Julie Engebrecht Much of the success of the Girls ' Volleyball team was due to the six seniors that played for Concordia this year. These girls worked very hard all season and helped each other in a total team effort. These six girls are Amy Berger, Lisa Ens- ley, June Gotsch, Joyce Michael, Kim Preston, and Lynn Wetmore. The importance of these girls to the team was inestimable. Miss Statzell felt that they had the ex- perience and knowledge that comes with many years of working together, and for a team. Most of the girls have particiated in other sports and have been valuable assets to those teams too. Lisa, June, Kim, and Lynn all played Basketball. Lisa has been voted Most Valuable Player in that sport every year since she was a sophomore. Amy, Lisa, June, Joyce, and Lynn have also been involved in track. During her junior year, June went to the state finals in high jump competition. When asked about these girls, Miss Statzell commented, I had some really outstanding players this year and they made the differ- ence. Their attitudes toward the team were just excellent. They had a feeling for the team and tried to play the best ball they knew how. I considered it a privilege to work with them. The girls set individual goals as well as team goals at the beginning of the season. Many of these were consistent serves, playing as a team, and realizing the importance of many other skills. Some com- ments made by the six seniors showed what playing volleyball meant to them this year. Amy Berger said, As long as we played as a team anything was possible. Lisa Ensley remarked, If you made a mistake you just had to forget about it and concentrate on the next play. Looking back at the end of the season, June Gotsch commented, The hard work really paid off. We really had a lot going for us, noted Joyce Michael, ever- ything just fell together. Kim Preston commented on the work behind the play. As the year went on we got more aggresive and really started hustling on defense. We ' ve heard a lot about team- work, but these girls are examples of what it can do. Lynn Wetmore said, I think working as a team was the basic thing for us all year long. Congratulations to these girls who did so much in achieving the title as the 1 Girls ' Volleyball team in the state! 142 seniors Senior Volleyball team members present Coach Statzell with trophies from their winning season.

Sieggy 48% of seniors face job responsibilities by Barb Braunlin About 48% of the people in the class of ' 77 held jobs during the school year. The need for exper- ience, money, and the hope for fu- ture advancement prompted these students to invest their time. The following five people are some ex- amples of the working seniors. Nearly self-supporting, Nancy Springer has held a job since fourth grade when she started working for her father in a gas sta- tion. She worked in a health food store her freshman and sopho- more years and has worked at Rogers in Washington Square for the past two years. Nancy works as a cashier twenty to twenty-vive hours a week and saves any extra money for college. Through the RVC co-op pro- gram, Pat Klenke gets on the job training at General Telephone in Times Corners. She does billing by computer 12:30-4:30 Monday through Friday and is assured of a job after graduation. Decorating churches, pinning boutonnieres on grooms, and showing brides how to hold their flowers are just parts of Yvonne Borchelt ' s job working for Cross- roads Flowers. She says, Milking cows pays better! She spends an hour every morning and night milk- ing the cows on the family ' s farm. She buys her own clothes and ne- cessities, saves money for Christ- mas (nine brothers and sisters) and college, and supports her horse Thunder. For the past two years John Waldren has spent about thirty to thirty-five hours a week making pizzas at Noble Roman ' s Pizza. John says he saves some money, ... so I can take out lovely la- dies and he also saves some for college next year. About once a month. Barb Dohr- mann models for fashion shows and magazine photographers. She is considering a career in modeling and enjoys the experience she ' s gained from working for dealers such as Fashions Americana, Hutners Inc., and the Bridal Fair.

CO This book is a product of many people ' s time and effort. First of all, thanks to the staff are essen- tial. Pete Beckmann, the only freshman on the staff, was excep- tionally cooperative throughout the year, and took the Christmas Dance pictures without complain- ing (the worst assignment of the year). Naive Jill Brueggeman took endless teasing and tolerated our Mr. Meyer jokes all year. Juanita Bryant, loyal and dedicated to Lumo, was at all workshops for hours, helping others after she was done with her own work. Mary Dahling, a master seller, kept us out of debt by selling ads to just about anybody. All the extra chores that came up were usually taken care of by Julie Engebrecht, who was probably busy enough al- ready. Scott Fritz, despite a suici- dal schedule, made time to write solid, accurate copy and collect senior quotes. Shelly Gordon risked life, limb, and getting caught by Mr. Parrish to drive out in a blizzard for a single camera bat- tery. Lynne Haller, our staff artist, constructed a masterpiece of a Get Well card for the staff to give to Mrs. Schwartz when she was recovering. Mike Kalb used his considerable talent in the dark- room to help cover up the mis- takes of a rookie photo editor. Elaine Koenig adapted well to sev- eral layout styles and refused to compromise quality to get home sooner. Kim Preston was great about turning in assignments that were consistently early and flaw- less. Carin Rodenbeck, one of our senior rookies, was our official candle- lighter for the frequent staff birthday parties. Rick Shedd got re-inspired, and was a great asset to the photo crew after ten- nis was over. Lori Schhnerer gave us frequent previews of Singer per- formances and made a contribu- tion to the staff even though she did have to share her talents with LU-HI. With her sarcastic sense of humor, Linda Tomusk kept the staff loose and combined her pho tographic and layout talents well for special spreads. Our staff typist, Patty Wilson helped the staff meet their deadlines. Special thanks go to Mr. Paul Watters and Watters Studio, who gave us good, clear senior pic- tures, and lots of friendly, helpful advice. Mr. James Arthur, our American Yearbook Company rep- resentative, was always available to help with layouts, copy, and most important, morale. Produc- tion Consultant John Lowney often had to track down our error-filled proofs at the plant to catch them before they got printed. Miss Jan Eberle helped turn our preliminary abstract ideas into workable form during our two weeks in her edi- tors ' lab at I.U. summer school. Finally, we ' d like to thank the most important member of the staff, our advisor Mrs. Schwartz. She expected and produced qual- ity journalism, with loyalty to the book extending beyond mere classroom duties. She exhibited patience with grainy photographs, mushy copy, and occasional rowdi- ness, but never tolerated irrespon- sibility on anyone ' s part. As advi- sor and backbone of the staff, Mrs. Schwartz was, in a word, fan- tastic. 1977 LUMINARIAN STAFF • Pete Beckmann Photography p Jill Brueggeman Copy Juanita Bryant Copy.
