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

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.
