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.

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
