Somewhere along the way we would run to tests, teachers, basketball games, and friends. We had hopes of the chapel-audito- rium being completed. Although the exper- iences were there, we didn ' t know yet how we would be changed by them. What would happen to some 850 students and teachers making up CLHS during the 1977-78 school year? The shared experience and the change which came about because we were together is what this book is all about. changing together, OPENING 3 We change individually and together When you think about it, a lot can happen in one year of school. If you are a freshman, you enter an exciting and challenging new environment. If you are a senior, you have strengthened and formed relationships that can only occur after years of working and grow- ing together. Teachers have become more than symbols of authority. They are people that you geniunely care for and can really call friends. Seniors can look back over four years at Concordia and see how everyone and everything has changed. The build- ing itself has grown. At long last, the final stage of expansion has been com- pleted; the chapel auditorium was offi- cially dedicated on March 17. You too have grown. You might have entered Concordia as a child, but most of you are leaving as adults. Even freshmen can see the changes that have occurred throughout the school year. You ' re finally treated as adults, and most are willing to accept the responsibility that comes with it. Together, this school and the people who are this school have grown togeth- er as a unit, a strong unit that is held together by a love for each other and for our God. 4 INDIVIDUAL - SCHOOL BELOW: Running together for basketball training proves to be a strong tie in the BELOW: The Student Lounge provides friendship between Sue Engebrecht and Cadets a chance to spend some time Becky Snyder.

INDIVIDUAL — SCHOOL 5 Community involvement affects chan We live in a community, and a world, that is filled with events that are con- stantly influencing and changing our lives. This winter, especially the blizzard, really altered our lifestyles for a while, and perhaps changed our ideas about how much fun snow is. The coal min- ers ' strike also affected our lifestyle, perhaps even more drastically. However, we didn ' t just sit through the year as uninvolved observers in the community. We marched in parades, entertained and enlightened through concerts and plays. Psychology and so- ciology students developed skills and gained new experiences by volunteer- ing at many community agencies. We also touched other people ' s lives by helping through the Lutheran Out- reach program and the Christmas Bu- reau. Working together on such pro- jects developed a maturity in our per- sonalities and a noticeable growth in our actions. To be in touch with our community and world was a very important part of our education, not just as students but as human beings. It served as another strong bond that tied us together, to grow and change with our world. RIGHT: Lutheran Outreach provides a good opportunity for Concordians to aid the community.

COMMUNITY — WORLD 7 Snow and little coal creates crisis For the people of Fort Wayne and other mid- western areas, the winter of 78 was considered a disastrous one due to the combination of a bliz- zard, an energy shortage, and a flood. On Wednesday evening, January 25, the bliz- zard warnings that had been predicted all day finally became reality. With ten inches of snow already on the ground, no one looked favorably at the thought of a blizzard. However, Old Man Winter felt otherwise. Within the next 24-48 hours, Fort Wayne received 12 new inches of snow along with winds gusting up to 50-60 m.p.h. For almost four days, only snowmobiles, four- wheel drive and emergency vehicles were permit- ted on the streets as plows struggled to remove the drifted snow. Concordia canceled six days of classes, delaying the start of the second semester by a week. In spite of the conditions, a small group of Concordia students and faculty helped deliver food supplies to elderly people in Fort Wayne during the emergency. As if the snow emergency situation wasn ' t enough, less than four weeks later striking coal miners threatened the country ' s supply of elec- tricity. Homes, businesses, and schools received orders from the Indiana Public Service Co. to cut back in their use of heat and electricity. The boys ' basketball sectionals were held immediately after school instead of in the evening to conserve ener- gy. After being on strike for 109 days, the miners finally agreed to a contract on March 24. Many students were glad to see the end of the cafete- ria ' s sack lunches and paper plates. The week of March 20 brought one more win- ter-related problem when Mayor Armstrong was forced to declare a flood emergency. The melted snow caused the three rivers to leave their banks, flooding many residential homes and streets. Over 100 CLHS students volunteered to fill sandbags for the city. As we reflect on the hardships and struggles of the winter months, we definitely learned the im- portance of adapting to situations beyond our control. We will remember the disasters of the ' 78 winter, but more important, the changes it brought in our lifestyles.

O STUDENT LIFE DIVISION STUDENT LIFE DIVISION 11 GETTING AWAY FROM IT ALL Summer revives, refreshes, renews Summer is the only time of year when I can get away from it all and be by myself for a change, reflected senior Steve Weber over his past summer va- cation. Summer is a time to get away from it all for many of us. Whether it ' s going on a vacation with the family, or working at a part-time job, summer can be very enjoyable. There are numerous ways to fill your summer break. For many juniors and seniors, it ' s a time to earn a little extra money. Junior Tim Borchelt spent his vacation as a lifeguard at the Southeast YMCA here in Fort Wayne. He found it very rewarding to help people in swimming classes. School doesn ' t have to end in the spring as many high school students soon discovered. Whether it was making up work, or just trying to lighten the load for the next academic year, summer school took a good deal of the summer days for some stu- dents. For teachers, summer meant spending a little more time with their families, working at part- time jobs, and going to school to work for advanced degrees. Mr. Luepke and his family vacationed in Michigan for two weeks. He commented, Summer is an op- portunity to explore new and dif- ferent horizons which are not available at other times during the year. The extra time provides avenues to grow as a person. Summer had, for almost every one, a little more freedom in dai- ly routines and activities. ABOVE: Junior Jeff Massucci assigns his Wildcat team members positions at Lane Junior High.

SUMMER 13 LOCKERS, CLASSES, LOUNGE, LIBRARY Routine part of school experience During the year, students spent over 2,808,000 seconds in a brick building, going from class to class to face the experience called school. Routine can get you mentally bored with your surroundings, said senior Burton Hill. The five minutes between ABOVE: Freshman Mark Beckmann lis- tens carefully while Mrs. Retrum ex- plains an Algebra concept. RIGHT: Sophomore Rachel Cemmer and junior Karen Preus spend a relaxing study hour in the lounge. classes were spent talking to friends, teachers, making a trip to a locker, and taking the usual route to the next class. Lunch time was something everybody looked forward to — if not to eat lunch, to study for the next test, or talk with friends in the lounge. The lounge and library became hang-outs for those who didn ' t spend all day in class. Most used these spots to relax or study. There ' s so much around here we take for granted, said one student. 14 ROUTINE LEFT: Students pause between classes to converse with friends.

ROUTINE 15 STAR WARS ' DOMINATES SCREEN Popular trends reflected at CLHS Clothes, movies, jewelry and entertainment all controlled stu- dents ' lifestyle. Many popular ite ms and fads caused students to think, buy, and act in various ways. Following are the results of a survey taken among members of all four classes, which attempt- ed to determine what CLHS kids viewed as the most popular fads. The scale ran from 10-1, 10 being the highest. The average of the rating for each item is given.

The day is over, right? Wrong. For numerous students, the day had a long way to go. Extracurricular activities occu- pied many hours for ambitious people. It might have been a job, or Junior Achievement or some- thing else that provided some practical experience, or maybe GAA or Intramurals just for fun. Whatever the activity, it showed how much went on outsi de of the normal school day. Both band and choir members spent long hours preparing for concerts. They brushed up on pieces as well as setting the stage for performances. Weeks before each play, drama participants de- voted the after school hours to rehearsals and to building sets. The Luminarian staff spent most of their Saturdays at school strug- gling to meet the deadlines. Other clubs used after school to raise money for special activi- ties. Announcements proclaim- ing bake sales were frequent. One senior put it this way, My extracurricular activities really added a special dimension to my high school life. They made it a lot of fun.

EXTRA HOURS 19 SPIRIT JACKS UP Gathering changes spark interest School gatherings reflected the attitude of students toward CLHS academic and social life. The various gatherings that pupils attended included chapel, led by Mr. Donald Luepke, pep sessions, and assemblies, organized by Todd Taykowski. Mr. Luepke commented, We tried to pro- vide variety and new interest in chapel services to counteract student apathy. Various methods of worship used attempted to stimulate fresh interest and participation in the student body. Cheerleading ABOVE: WMEE DJ John David Spangler presents the Team of the Week trophy to the football team following their vic- tory over Harding. advisor Mrs. Linda Nelson also utilized this attack to improve pep sessions. Pep sessions were shortened by the new schedule; consequently, we had to create short, snappy cheers to make crowd cheering easier, said Mrs. Nelson. The cheerleaders felt that school spirit vastly improved this year. The faculty and administration cooperated with Todd in sched- uling and conducting assemblies. Todd expressed his concern, Ever since my freshman year, as- semblies have decreased in number and quality. I decided to do something about it. Todd ' s goal was to schedule more as- semblies and interesting topics to spark new interest among stu- dents.

GATHERINGS 21 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN HOMECOMING ACTIVITIES Spirit week sparks enthusiasm The students really came through and displayed their enthusiasm! There was more homecoming spirit this year than in all the other years I have been here, Miss Shrubsall comment- ed. Homecoming meant dress-up days. Slob day brought torn holey dungarees and old flannel shirts. Slicked-back hair, black leather jackets, bobby socks, saddle shoes and ponytails character- ized Fifties day. Masquerade day appeared to be a mix between a spook house and a retirement home because of the variety of costumes. Switch day participa- tion was great, especially the male part, sophomore Jil Papin added. Students showed their eagerness to beat the Northside Redskins by wearing maroon and white on ' Kill Redskins Day. ' Vibrations shook the lounge the day of the powderpuff game. Orange and yellow-shirted girls shouted victory chants across the lounge and through the halls. Nighttime arrived and the stands were full. Junior powderpuff player Jill Brueggeman remarked about attendance, When I final- ly took a minute to look across the field, I was really surprised to see the large amount of fans that came to watch us. The seniors were ahead at halftime 20-0. While both teams were confer- ring, halftime gave sophomore Jerry Thompson a chance to de- vour his pie the fastest in the pie- eating contest. The cage ball literally rolled over the junior boys when the seniors con- quered them with a score of 5-0. The senior powderpuff team came back and scored another touchdown in the second half making the final score 26-0. Mar- die Macomber and Sheila Ram- sey scored the senior touch- downs. I feel that Homecoming was a great success, but the biggest success was the good response from the students and faculty. 1 have never seen so much school spirit before, said Homecoming committee head Rene Walpole. After reflecting back on all the activities I am sure that every bit of work put into Homecoming ' 77 was well worth it!

HOMECOMING 23 GAME AND DANCE HIGHLIGHT OF HOMECOMING Weekend proves memorable Spectators flocked to Concor- dia ' s home field to witness what Mr. Meyer had earlier predicted in his religion classes to be an outstanding game; very close. I would say 21-20, Concordia hav- ing 21 of course. At halftime the Redskins were ahead 48-0 which contradicted Mr. Meyer ' s prediction. The float competition, band and pompon routine entertained the au- dience. The junior float claimed the first place prize for the se- cond consecutive year, support- ing the theme, Time has slipped away. The score 62-0 in the begin- ning of the fourth quarter, the homecoming crowd became skeptical of any change to the Cadet side of the scoreboard. When Jeff Rakestraw scored a touchdown, the multitude of Ca- dets were hysterical. Ron Beasley topped it off by making two touchdowns leaving the score 62-20. This year ' s Homecoming King candidates replaced the necessity for escorts. Elected Concordia ' s first King, Kel Preston began a new tradition. He reigned with Queen Barb Buls. Barb ' s court in- cluded seniors Kim Renz, Carla Scheimann and juniors Marcia Murray and Janet Scherer. Kel exercised sovereignty over sen- iors Dave Prochnow, Brian Waite and juniors Jon S Bultemeyer and Matt Sievert. Karla Lewis, the junior in charge of the dance, recalled that after everyone left, and the decorations we worked on so long were torn down, I looked around the school and thought the memories of that unique Homecoming will remain with me forever.

HOMECOMING 25 ' THE GIRL IN THE RAIN ' Hard work makes play successful After preparing for seven weeks, the Drama Club present- ed the mystery The Girl in the Rain under the direction of Miss Dianne Shrubsall and student di- rector Greta Gerberding. It was a good experience, Greta said. I met a lot of new people and the play went over well. Mark Lupke, Lynne Haller, Kay Schaber, Barb Nobis, Mike Mey- er, Tina Dahling, Reggie Doyle, Juanita Bryant, and Tricia Far- quhar all performed on stage while extra work was put in back- stage by Ginger Pape, Lynne Haller, and Mr. Terry Breininger. I worried about the play, commented Miss Shrubsall. We had a fairly new group of actors and a play not so well known to the public, but it turned out to be a real success.

TOYBOX 27 STUDENTS PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS Christ present in CLHS festivities Enveloped in the usual pre- holiday festivities, CLHS students found time to participate in nu- merous school activities. First hour classes once again aided the Christmas Bureau by collecting food and clothing for underprivileged families. Ham- pered by snow, collection dates had to be moved back a few days. Concordia helped 31 families in the city, the largest number for a school in the Ft. Wayne area. The eighth annual Christmas concert was held on December 17 and 18. Under the direction of Mr. Sievert, Mr. Loessi, and Dr. Nuechterlein, all the choirs along with the Varsity band and hand- bell choirs participated in A Feast of Carols. A candlelight processional with Christmas car- ols highlighted the concert. Everyone seemed to enjoy the processional; it gave the concert a special effect, stated Mike Hollman, member of the Varsity band. On Dec. 21, Concordia stu- dents and faculty participated in the annual Christmas at Con- cordia, held at St. Paul ' s Luth- eran Church. Lutheran Hospital and WKJG sponsored the service which was aired on Christmas day. The lU-Purdue Student Union Ballroom was again the setting for this year ' s Christmas Dance. Countless students put in long hours creating decorations for the dance, entitled A Shining Star For You and Me. Music was provided from 8:30 till 11:30 by the group Threshold. The Varsity basketball team played in the SAC Holiday tour- ney on Dec. 29, at the Memorial Coliseum. Going up against an undefeated Harding team, the Cadets lost 80 to 53. In other ac- tion, the Reserve team won their tournament defeating Luers 47 to 41, and Wayne, 52 to 38 in the championship game.

Concordia students and faculty faced numerous changes in the science and math departments this past year. New textbooks, acquiring of a new teacher, and the addition of an Altair computer system all helped to aid the learning process. Mr. Gieschen, a recent graduate of Concordia Teachers ' College at River Forest, replaced one of our former biology instructor, Mr. Huebschman. Mr. Gieschen stated, I hope to involve the stu- dents more in class activities. Old textbooks were discarded and new ones issued to Algebra 3-4 students this year. Mr. Reinking, head of the math department, feels the new texts are better than ones used in previous years. 1 think it ' s a good change; the problems are more practical for the students. Under the direction of Mr. Gayer and other faculty members, Concordia has acquired an Altair computer system. The computer helped to unite the math and science departments with a wide variety of programs. Mr. Gayer stressed the com- puter was purchased for the use of all students. Ranging from chemistry experiments to trig equa- tions and physics problems, the computer has many functions. Mr. Gayer hoped to branch out to everything from economics to industrial arts in computer usage. He concluded, Our goal is to involve all of our students in computer activities designed to meet their individual combination and level of needs.

INVESTIGATING 33 Changing together by researching Because of the varied courses offered by the English department here at Concordia, research took on many different forms. Freshmen studied facts about authors, history, and social conditions that affect literature. Sophomores investigated more personal information about possible future careers. Electives were chosen by juniors and sen- iors according to their individual interests. In these classes students explored ideas and their relationships to each other. Essentially, the ob- jective of all research, according to Mr. Jordan, was to find meaningful solutions to the problems which the students encountered. Social Studies utilized another form of research, learning by doing. Government and Sociology students were given the opportunity to partici- pate in over 25 different community projects. A one day trip to Washington D.C. by juniors and seniors sparked interest in both U.S. History and Government classes. Mr. Pinnow said, The prime goal in Social Studies was living citizenship through student involvement in community af- fairs. RIGHT: Junior Doug Hall uses his time in the I.M.C. to study U.S. History.

The required courses in the physical education department for freshmen and sophomores al- lowed them to take part in team and individual athletics. Those who chose to continue their phy- sical education in an advanced class, participated in an expanded range of sports, such as archery and bowling. Students had the opportunity to participate in GAA and Intramurals. They met after school to join in whatever sports they chose, which includ- ed volleyball, basketball, and bowling. Cindy Gunkler remarked, GAA was fun because you didn ' t have to worry about winning. Students in the language department and clubs learned about the culture, customs, and language of foreign countries. The French Club, advised by Miss Hampel, earned money selling stationery, enabling them to dine at a French restaurant. Accompanied by the Latin Club, they sang Christmas carols at a senior citizens ' home. The annual Roman Olympics competition and Banquet, held by the Latin Club, ended this year ' s season of events. Their advisor, Mrs. Nelson, said, The food was adapted to fit the Roman times. We had everything ab ovo usque ad malum (from soup to nuts). Headed by Mr. Falkenstern, the German Club raised money with plans for a future trip to the German section of Chicago. Allison Bellieu commented, Participation in school activities brought the students together as a family and made them feel they belonged at Concordia.

PARTICIPATING 37 Changing together by performing Varying from a pantomime in speech class to drill team competition in JROTC, Cadets had the opportunity to perform in a variety of ways. The music department consisted of several vo- cal groups who performed at concerts and chapel services. Juniors and seniors chosen by audition made up the school ' s most experienced vocal group, the A Cappella choir. They entertained at church services, and social gatherings, and broa- dened their range of performances by also per- forming at concerts and chapel services. At the end of the year, the choir traveled to Washington D.C. and Philadelphia and put on several perfor- mances for surrounding schools and churches. This year in JROTC a special forces team was added as a branch to the combat drill team. Differ- ent teams in JROTC competed against other schools and military academies. Performing in drama, 1 found that everyone has a style of their own and it ' s all got to be brought together. Movements coordinated with lines and entrances with exits without looking me- chanical or rehearsed, commented drama club member Mark Lupke. The drama club began the year with a mystery. They put on two plays during the year besides working with the Toybox Theater. In speech classes students performed in front of each other. They did speeches of opinion, de- monstration, and even pantomime. Said A Cappella member Julie Braden, No mat- ter what kind of performance, working together is the most essential thing in making it just right.

Many classes were open to students in which they had a chance to develop their own ideas. Taking a piece of metal and turning it into a bracelet, forming a vase out of clay, and sketching a picture in charcoal were some of the projects done in art classes. Many of these projects went on display at school and some even entered art contests. Students especially interested in art participated in the Rainbow Club, sponsored by Miss Miller. During the year they made stationery of their own design, although painting the art room was their main project. Industrial Arts classes turned out projects such as candle holders, tackle boxes, and toy trains. RVC gave students a chance to develop and im- prove skills such as mechanics and welding that may develop into a trade in the future. Introductory classes of Home Economics taught the basics of cooking and sewing. The advanced classes went on to create projects of greater diffi- culty. Cadets taking the Creative Writing course taught by Mrs. Nelson were given the opportunity to become creative with words. They worked with varying ideas using many styles of writing to create short stories, commercials and other forms of li- terature.

Changing together by observing Students learn by observing many different situations of everyday life ' said Social Studies De- partment head, Mr. Pinnow. Sociology and psy- chology students were given the opportunity to volunteer at the state school and city offices, en- abling them to participate in activities and learn by experience. The mathematics department used films, graphs, overhead projectors and blackboards as visual aids. Geometry class used the aids to de- monstrate various shaped and proofs, while alge- bra classes marked the paraphenalia with formulas. Observation is important in mathematics; it would be very difficult to understand without some visualization, remarked head of the Mathe- matics Department, Mr. Reinking. Sophomore Mike Metz felt that in my religion class I liked the movies we saw; it helped me understand certain topics better. Different types of observation were necessary to use in the reli- gion classes because of the variety of courses of- fered, from Comparative Christianity to Love, Marriage and Family. Students change through the influences of ob- servations from home and school life by encour- aging them to become more objective and judge- mental, said Mr. Pinnow.

OBSERVING 43 Changing together by preparing Concordia offered many opportunities to pre- pare high school students for their future. Classes in business taught students many different aspects and uses of secretarial and office skills. There was a long list of courses to choose from. In shorthand, business machines, accounting, and office prac- tice, students learned to take dictation, run ad- ding machines, and keep records. Any student who was interested could learn more about busi- ness by joining Future Business Leaders of Amer- ica. FBLA underwent some major changes this year. The second semester they met during the day as a regular vocational class. They earned money to go to the state conference in Muncie and planned to attend the national conference in San Francisco. Janell Knipstein remarked, You can have fun and learn a lot about business at the same time. Some students prepared for their future by tak- ing courses at the Regional Vocational Center downtown. There were a variety of classes to choose from such as automative, electricity-elec- tronics, food services, child care, and health occu- pations. Mrs. Crownover commented, RVC is a stepping stone for apprenticeship or college while finding out what the working world is all about. Home economics and industrial arts classes gained information that would always be useful to them. Mrs. Roop remarked, This year in home ec. students learned to be homemakers and con- sumers.

They were advised by Mr. Fred Weiss. The council organized a variety of projects. They helped charities with the Thanksgiving can drive, Lutheran Outreach, and the Christmas Bureau. At the beginning of the year, they were short of funds but or- ganizing successful dances and carwashes helped put them back in shape financially. Assemblies were organized to inform or entertain students. Two new events this year were the Allstar Anything Goes at Elm- hurst and the faculty basketball game against the WMEE radio station ' s dj ' s. Student council has a place, said senior John Nommay, and this year they found it. The people in charge of special events were the committee heads. They were: Assembly, Todd Taykowski; Christmas Bur- eau, Kris Jordan; Christmas Dance, Greta Gerberding; Homecoming, Rene Walpole; Publicity, Steve Rieck and Mike Hollman; Worship, Cheryl Barn- hart and Judy Steeves; CCC, Christa Reuning; Dance, Rob Shugart.

STUDENT COUNCIL 49 Musicians entertain CLHS community Three musical groups gathered together early in the morning be- fore school and after school to practice. Handbells and Stage Band were led by band director Mr. Raymond Sievert, while Mr. John Loessi directed Singers. They performed for churches, the Parent Teacher Association, Christmas parties, senior citizens ' homes and for the Keona Club. Unlike the Varsity Band and A Cappella Choir, the extracurricu- lar music groups did not com- pete in the NISBOVA contest or go on tour. They strictly per- formed as entertainers. Although the students spent a lot of their own free time work- ing on their music, there were certain advantages also. They became part of a group situation where they learned discipline and responsibility. By participat- ing in the groups, they gained an outlet for self- expression which I have seen cause a definite, posi- tive change in numerous stu- dents, said Mr. Sievert.

He taught us to work together and we were like a family, remarked senior Mary Haines about this year ' s Varsity Band. The band performed at foot- ball and basketball games, pep sessions, concerts, music con- tests, and other special events. They put in long hours of prac- tice on the football field, in the parking lot, the gym, and the band room. In September they participated in Valparaiso University ' s home- coming parade. Their special half-time show for Concordia ' s homecoming football game in- cluded songs from musicals and movies, fireworks and smoke bombs. In the last part of April the band went on their annual tour East and around the Cleveland area. On tour they gave concerts at schools and churches, and also did some sightseeing. Reflecting on the year, Mr. Sie- vert commented, Starting with Band Camp in August and going through graduation in June, this year ' s Varsity Band was continual- ly active. We will cherish fond memories of marching, the Christmas Concert, ball games, Spring Tour, and all the other fine things the Band put together this year. It was a joy to work hard together to produce such a vari- ety of programs and still have fun while doing it. 7 1977-78 Varsity Band: FRONT ROW: K. Hollman, C. Gunkler, S. Schlie, M. Haines, P.

The choir, composed of 61 selected juniors and sen- iors, performed in many concerts this year at churches, schools, and even the Ann Colone show. Directed by Mr. John Loessi, they attended an Invitational Choral Festival at River Forest College in Chicago, where they were evaluated on interpreta- tion, technique, and intonation. Money raising projects, such as the annual fish fry, provided the needed funds for their tour to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadel- phia, and Washington D.C. On tour they gave at least one con- cert a day, and also had time to see the White House, monu- ments, and other historic sites. Summing up the year, Mr. Loessi remarked, I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. I wanted to keep the reputation of being one of the best choirs in the state. 1977-78 A Cappella Choir: FRONT ROW: S.

During the school year instead of practicing after school, they were able to use a second hour study hall.

The captains of both groups at- tended a week long session at Northside where they learned routines, including Rocky . They also learned steps for rou- tines that they made up them- selves. The new flag squad consisted of ten girls chosen at pom pon tryouts last spring. Their captain was Anne Rehberg assisted by co-captain Luann Karbach. Junior Anne Rehberg said, I think we were pretty good be- cause we worked together. There was a lot of teamwork in- volved. Clubs gather student interest This year ' s Afro-American Club needs a little work because the officers are new and aren ' t sure of how to run things yet, but I feel if you give us a little time, the club will turn out to be a great success with the help of all its members, commented junior Clydia Early. The Afro-American Club was led by president, Luther Whit- field; vice-president James Lowery; secretary, Leila Ford; treasurer, Clydia Early. Meeting every other week or when needed, the club was open to all students. Its purpose was learning more about black his- tory and bringing black and white students closer together. The club ' s two main projects were Black History Week in Feb- ruary and a spring-summer fash- ion show on March 31. They also chose an afro queen at the end of the year. Seniors Pam Douglas, Dwayne Durden, Burton Hill, and Robin Coleman made up the club ' s Ac- tivities Committee. To raise funds they held parties charging people to come and sponsored bake sales and car washes. The CLHS Hockey Club was or- ganized this year with Mr. Gem- mer as faculty advisor and coach. The club consisted ' of ten members, each supplying their own equipment. Two outstand- ing players were Mark Richert and Scott Kemp. Games were played at McMil- lan Park ' s arena. The Club com- peted against seven other schools ending with a record of 6-5. Considering it was the first year, said Mr. Gemmer, I think it went very well. ABOVE: Afro — American Club: FRONT ROW: L.

AFRO-AMERICAN CLUB - HOCKEY CLUB 55 Sports pay off for letterwinners All male students who had won a letter were privileged to join the Lettermen ' s Club. Getting to- gether for a meeting often in- volved some difficulty for the members who had practice. These athletes spent an average of three hours daily practicing their sport during the season. The lettermen sponsored sev- eral different fund-raising activi- ties throughout the year. They checked coats at basketball games and held the annual Don- key Basketball Came. With the money they earned, the letter- men traveled to a professional baseball game in the spring. The Lettermen ' s Club gave ath- letes a chance to congregate with their fellow letterwinners. Advi- sor Mr. Ihssen said, Through the club, they gained more respect for themselves and their school because they realized that being an athlete is important. The newly formed Letter- women ' s Club consisted of var- sity letterwinners and varsity cheerleaders. Members assisted at athletic events by introducing Concordia ' s facilities to the visit- ing teams. When a team comes to a new school, they usually don ' t know where things are, so the letterwomen welcomed them and showed them around, explained club advisor Mrs. Wendorf. The club also sold pop- corn at events to raise money for girls ' warm-ups. The Letterwomen ' s Club proved to be important in pro- moting athletics at Concordia. On Concordia Day the girls spoke to the eighth graders about the significance of being an athlete. President Mary Roehrs felt that to be a letterwoman you must be a good representa- tive of Concordia and should be proud of being an athlete. ABOVE: Lettermen ' s Club: R. Shedd, Kel Preston, ].

The JROTC introductory aca- demic courses provided students with an opportunity to learn about weapons safety and marks- manship, leadership develop- ment and drill, first aid and hy- giene, and map reading. The ad- vanced courses covered duties and responsibilities of leaders. JROTC worked on various fund-raising activities, enabling them to raise money for the Of- ficers ' Ball. They dined and danced at an exquisite restaurant. The kids saved their earned money all year and then blew it all on the Officers ' Ball, but that was their big social event, their time for fun, said Sergeant Miller. JROTC proved to be an oppor- tunity for worthwhile exper- iences. Senior cadet Bill Davis summed it up by saying, I ' ve changed a lot through JROTC; my horizons are broadened, and the challenges I have faced have matured me. The leadership abi- lities I have learned will be a de- finite asset in my future. LEFT: Officer ' s Club: FRONT ROW: B. Korte, A. Miller, B. Davis, D. Rains, R. Calahan, MIDDLE ROW: D. Witte, M.

Comprised of the top 15% of the senior class, the National Honor Society in- ducted 34 members into its or- ganization. The National Honor Society is a service organization. Its members help to tutor other students, raise money, and perform other ser- vices for their school. Added to its members in the spring were the top 5% of the junior class. The group was led by president Dave Thieme, vice president Barb Buls, and secretary trea- surer Rene Walpole. They parti- cipated in several fund raising events to raise money to help the school. The faculty advisors, Mrs. Re- trum and Mr. Gallmeier com- mented, The National Honor Society is the only organization in the school that honors people for scholastic achievement, and that ' s what school is really all about.

Under her direc- tion, twelve student DJ ' s manned the radio station from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily. Seniors Mark Lange and Mark Braun also encouraged future broadcasters by teaching a course in radio operations. Three nights a week, twelve Concordia students hit the books in hopes of receiving their Third Class Li- censes from the F.C.C. These li- censes enabled them to work as student DJ ' s for WLHI. Also this year WLHI played a little more easy listening music than in the past. Once a week a DJ was also allowed to play some progressive music. WLHI covered all the home football games in addition to home basketball and baseball games. Commenting on the radio sta- tion ' s future, Ms. Shrubsall added, Our goal is to add an- other studio so that we can in- corporate the radio station into the students ' everyday curricu- lum.

WLHI 59 People, hours make Lumo your book Work on the 1977-78 Luminar- ian began in July when the edi- tors traveled to Bloomington to attend Indiana University ' s High School Journalism Institute. Ac- cording to layout editor Juanita Bryant, We were able to com- pare our yearbooks to others ' , trade ideas, and get practical ex- perience in meeting deadlines. With the help of editor-in- chief Julie Engebrecht and copy editor Jill Brueggeman, copy people learned to write accurate copy, headlines, and captions, while those on layout designed the pages using a different style for each section. The layout de- partment was assisted by art edi- tor, Lynne Haller. Photographers constantly searched for that needed picture and finances were handled by business manager, Beth Kanning. The entire yearbook staff was ad- vised by Mrs. Linda Schwartz. To senior Barb Buls, being on the Luminarian staff meant, learning journalism by doing and working together with a close, cooperative group of peo- ple. Working on the yearbook also involved many extra hours after school. The 21 member staff gave up weekends and vacations in order to meet important dead- lines, but as junior Dawn Blilie said, The extra time spent to put out a good yearbook was worth the effort.

Along with school news, the staff ran special in-depth reports on a variety of topics including colleges and job outlooks. Editorials concentrated more on issues within Concordia and encouraged student and faculty response. One new addition to the sport ' s page was The Coaches ' Corner, an editorial written by one of the coaches here at CLHS. Another change stressed more advanced reports of upcoming athletic events as opposed to play-by-play. The staff decided to return the paper ' s name to Lu-Hi Voice after a two year period with the mast head reading Lu-Hi. Members of the 1977-78 staff were chosen on the basis of re- sponsibility, writing skills, and dependability. When asked how she had profited from working on the newspaper, feature editor Julie Goeglein replied, I learned from practical experience what really goes into the making of a newspaper. The learning experience didn ' t end at the bi-weekly deadline. After each issue of the paper was printed, each staff member e- valuated his or her own contribu- tion to the issue and listed any suggestions for improvement.

LU-HI VOICE 61 62 SPORTS DIVISION SPORTS DIVISION 63 Cheerleaders promote school spirit Immediately after the varsity and reserve cheerleaders were chosen last May, the 11 girls be- gan to organize their squads for the following year of sports acti- vities. They spent approximately two to four hours a week during the summer learning new cheers and perfecting old ones. In the fall, five freshmen cheer- leaders were chosen by Miss Hampel, the varsity squad, and advisor Mrs. Nelson. In No- vember, the cheerleaders spon- sored the annual grade school cheerleaders clinic. They taught the seventh and eighth grade girls new skills, cheers, and also offered individual and squad competition. Besides cheering at games and meets, and organizing pep ses- sions, the cheerleaders worked during the year with the student council. They were responsible for decorating the halls and lockers for Homecoming and basketball sectionals. Varsity cheerleader Tina Dahling com- mented, Looking back on the year, I think all of the cheer- leaders were pleased with the way the students backed the teams. I feel that we reached our goal of improving school spirit. RIGHT: Reserve Cheerleaders: Sandy Bulmahn, Kelli Hillery, Christy Bulte- meyer, Lori Meyer, Tina Nommay.

Senior Griff Nielson added, It summed up the team ' s ambitions for the sea- son. A 27 yard field goal in the last five seconds of the game ena- bled the Cadets to edge North- rop 9-7. The team started practice on August 8th following a summer of weight training. Coach Mas- succi explained, The team stressed unity during the 3-6 sea- son.

The offense, led by Quentin Moore, scored over 200 points. The highlight of the sea- son was the New Haven game which was won 21-20 with a min- ute and a half to go. Moore scored the winning touchdown and Rick Hill kicked the extra point. Mr. Breininger said, The players were dedicated to mak- ing themselves better by working harder. Mr. Meyer, coach of the re- serve football team said, I was very pleased with the perfor- mance of all the members of the team. Despite not winning, their attitude remained steady throughout the season. Though the team had a 0-7-1 record, they worked together throughout the year. Five of their seven losses were by one touchdown or less Kent Preston, the quarterbacl and leading passer, remarked The reserve team was good ex perience because we learned t( work together, and the help o student teacher Denny Bloon was essential in our offense anc defense lines.

The Cadets placed eighth in SAC with a record of 2- 7. In a disappointing season, the team learned to stick by each other when things weren ' t going so well. Stuart Berning comment- ed, When somebody was down, there was always someone to help pick them up and encour- age them. The harriers began practice during the middle of August and continued until sectionals on Oc- tober 15. Mr. Mertins said, I was impressed with the team ' s atti- tude.

CROSS COUNTRY 75 Tennis team achieves 11-3 season September first opened the season for Coach Donald Reink- ing and Concordia ' s tennis team. Their record, 11-3, exemplified the quality of the team. This year followed the tradition of suc- cessful tennis at Concordia. Mr. Reinking explained, These guys go out because they really want to play. Glory is not an incen- tive. Although the team failed to take city, they tied for third and experienced several highlights throughout the year, including the defeat of Harding, the SAC champions. Concordia remained the lone victors over Harding. Though our team contained se- veral outstanding seniors, fresh- men varsity members John Stennfeld and Tim Ihssen held up well under the pressure placed upon them, commented Coach Reinking. Number one and two players, John Kast and Jeff Kachmann led the team in scoring this year, both earning season records of 15-1. Moving team members from singles to doubles in the attempt to achieve the best combination of players outlined the basic strategy for this year. Team members Rick Shedd and Rob Shugart felt that the team backed each other well and kept up good spirit. Rick ad- ded that the players, played consistently and were out simply t o enjoy the sport of tennis. ABOVE: Senior Rick Shedd and So- phomore John Nold coordinate ef- forts as a doubles team.

TENNIS 77 Team attitude stressed in volleyball This year has made me more a believer that 90 percent of the game is mental attitude, said coach Ms. Donna Statzell. The volleyball team shared many ups and downs throughout their season and finished 4-5 in the SAC, tying for fourth place. Senior Janine Ihssen comment- ed, Volleyball showed me the importance of getting along with your teammates — one can ' t do anything without the help of the other five. Practicing with Ms. Statzell and her assistant, Mr. Bob Michael, the girls worked on the funda- mentals of volleyball, emphasiz- ing their passing skills. After finishing their regular season 7-8 they made it to the semi-finals in sectionals where they were defeated by Snider. Junior Patty Hellwege com- mented, We learned a lot this year since we didn ' t have many seniors to lead us. The main thing this season taught us was that we had to work to our potential every game if we wanted to win.

VOLLEYBALL 79 Training key to successful athletes The demands on any sport par- ticipant are more than just what meets the spectators ' eyes. Stu- dents usually watch games with- out ever realizing the amount of training and preparation in- volved. Those seven innings in baseball, or four quarters in bas- ketball or football games are just a small percentage of the time that the participants spend on sports. During the period of time be- fore tryouts begin, and even right through the season, athletes con- stantly condition themselves. Senior basketball player Tim Reinking said, Anyone who wants to be successful in sports has to put in a lot of their own time working independently. The first two weeks of prac- tices are often devoted to getting the players into good physical condition, as well as developing specific skills: Coach Mertins stated, It ' s important to start training early before the season, because the athletes feel good mentally, which directly affects their physical performance. How do athletes actually train themselves? The majority of all the athletes took advantage of the weight room ' s special equip- ment to increase their strength. The gymnastics team ran two miles daily and lifted weights three times a week besides prac- ticing their actual gymnastic rou- tines. Members of the track and cross country teams usually spent their two to three hour long practices simply sprinting, while the golf players never did any type of training as a team. Most wrestlers constantly had to fight to keep their weight down; therefore, much of their training included strenuous dieting to reach their weight class. Whatever type of training used by the athletes, they always strove to improve their ability, duration, and confidence. Coach Mertins concluded, Athletes find personal satisfaction in sports because they are commit- ted to something that makes them feel good about them- selves.

SPORTS FEATURE 81 SAC provides challenge for Varsity Starting practice on October 15, the Cadet varsity basketball squad began to prepare them- selves for a tough season. Con- cordia battled some fine SAC teams, among them Harding, South Side, and the State ' s num- ber one ranked North Side. The Cadets finished the year at 12-7, and 4-5 in the SAC. A highlight for the team was the addition of Lutheran North to the schedule. The team and coaches sold popcorn to help sponsor their February 18 road trip to Chicago. Coach Parrish said the funda- mental work stressed in the be- ginning of the season began to pay off when the Cadets encoun- tered Ft. Wayne Harding. Down by seventeen points at halftime, Concordia brought itself back to within five points of the Harding squad at the end of four quarters. Coach Parrish stated, That ' s what impressed me about this year ' s team; they weren ' t quit- ters; they never gave up. RIGHT: John Falkenstern goes up for two points against top ranked North Side.

VARSITY BASKETBALL 83 Reserves boast outstanding season The 14-2 record compiled by the Reserve basketball team re- flected the amount of team work put forth by this group of sopho- mores and juniors. We had some really good talent on the Reserve team, Coach Wayne Panning said. Quickness proved to be one of the team ' s best as- sets. Rick Hall utilized this speed to make an average of two or three steals a game to go in for the easy layup. Balanced scoring RIGHT: While practicing for the upcom- ing weekend ' s game, sophomore Gary Stokes shoots a free throw. could be counted on from Gary Stokes, while Gary Gold contrib- uted consistent shooting.

For the members of the Fresh- men basketball team, their first year proved to be one of improv- ing skills and getting accustomed to working as a team. The team ' s strongest area was their attitude and willingness to work. We in- creased the amount and length of the practices. We really worked hard, Shaun Boutte commented. Bringing in an aver- age of 7 points a game, Mark Ri- chert and Rick Hill were the lead- ing scorers. The Freshmen worked well with a zone defense and full court press, ending their season with a 5-9 record. ABOVE: Junior Gary Gold out-jumps a Northrop player to tip the ball in for two points.

Reflecting the varsity season rec- ord of 4-10, Coach Statzell said, I ' m not disappointed. The team was young, and needed exper- ience. During their daily two hour practices, the girls worked primarily to develop basic skills such as dribbling and shooting, rather than concentrate on spe- cific plays. The varsity and reserve teams both consisted of nine players. Leading the returning varsity let- terwoman, and one of the nine leading scorers in the city, Mary Roehrs averaged 13.4 points per game. Pam Eastman, the team ' s most consistent player, lended assistance that fellow team mem- bers needed. Top rebounders Sally Quilhot and Amy Brunow led the team rebounds with sea- son totals of 78 and 77 , respec- tively. The reserves ended their sea- son w ith a 3-4 record. Sopho- more Cindy Messerschmidt led scoring with a game average of 8.1 points. Freshman team mem- ber Judy Brunow, who played both varsity and reserve com- mented, We had fun. Our rec- ord (varsity) didn ' t seem to be that bad as we were playing, be- cause we worked hard.

GIRLS ' BASKETBALL 87 Four wrestlers advance to semi- state Despite a disappointing dual schedule, the Concordia grapplers benefited much from their season of challenging ex- periences, remarked Kel Pres- ton and Captain Dave Daggett. Although the team ' s record was 3-7, many of the losses were close. The Woodlan tournament was lost by only one point and the Manchester tournament by three. The team came together for sectionals, coming in third, al- lowing them to advance to re- gional where their attempt for the title was halted. Regional champions were Jeff Friedrich, Todd Taykowski, Jim Erwin, who won his third consecutive sec- tional title and was regional run- ner-up, and Kel Preston who set team records in most pins and most team points scored. Freshmen were counted on heavily this year. In their individ- ual classes, Tim Ihssen won the Woodlan tournament, and Jeff Schroeder placed fifth. Wendell Wallace won in the Manchester tournament and Mark Neilson was in the Varsity line-up all year. Coach Le Beau commented about the season, Though the team record was not too impres- sive, this was one of the best years in wrestling for individual champions and tournament fin- ishes as a team.

After two months of practicing from 3:00 to 6:00, they had their first meet in January. The team commenced the season with a goal of winning half of their meets, and ended with a record of 6-7. Gymnastics contained three levels of skill in which the girls competed: beginning, interme- diate, and optional. The gymnasts had an opportunity to work on the balance beam, floor, uneven parallels, and vault. Some girls chose to compete in only one area, while others preferred sev- eral. This year ' s team consisted of many novice gymnasts. Miss de- Bievre felt, Those were the girls who will be dynamite next year, because all the girls improved both in attitude and physically, especially those on the beginning ABOVE: Denise Daggett performs a lay- out squat as part of her intermediate vault routine.

Concor- dia ended up winning the meet by nine-tenths of a point. That meet showed all of us that team effort is really important, stated team member Rachel Sievert. The gymnasts plan to sponsor a training camp for two weeks this summer to raise money to use the next school year at meets. Coach deBievre wanted to put gymnastics on the map, because it is not a very highly publicized sport. Gymnastics is very worth- while. The changes I have noted in the girls are enormous; their whole outlook on working with strangers and developing a friendship under strict condi- tions has broadened them im- mensely.

The members of the administration worked to ful- fill their roles in running and maintaining Concordia. Mr. Her- zog doubled as the principal and executive director. He worked with personnel and public rela- tions. Pastor Beckmann worked with the student body as he sche- duled classes, reported grades, and issued credits earned by stu- dents. Director of Guidance, Mr. Gallmeier supervised the new homeroom system. This program attempted to place students in one class with the same teacher and classmates throughout the years. The new homeroom sys- tem promised to put students in a better relationship with one teacher and each other. Mrs. Crownover assisted in introduc- ing a new educational experience called the Career Awareness Pro- gram. As the students attended the presentations, a relationship between school and work be- came apparent. Counselor Mr. Werner assumed the attendance supervision, formerly conducted by Dean of Students Mr. Parrish. ABOVE: Association church representa- tives comprise the CLHS Board of Direc- tors.

Included in the 1977-78 staff are the janitors, cafeteria workers, and office staff. Mrs. Leota Roemke and Mrs. Nancy Murphy assisted the principal as secretar- ies, and Mrs. Dorothy Dehmlow and Mrs. Joann Voelker shared the bookkeeping duties. Guid- ance secretary Mrs. Buls aided Mr. Gallmeier in his work. Part time help Mrs. Phyllis Adams worked as the attendance secre- tary and Mrs. Marjorie Mueller provided bookkeeping work for the Expansion Fund. Our seven cooks, supervised by cafeteria manager Mrs. Lucille Hall, worked this year with a pilot study conducted by the USDA through Colorado State Univer- sity. A perfect lunch which pleases all students summarized the goal of the program. Concor- dia ' s custodians continued to clean up after the pupils and kept everything in working order. Head custodian Mr. Don Stein received assistance from Mr. For- ice Hall, and part time help Mr. Charles Henneman and Mr. Tim- othy Heupel.

STAFF 97 Faculty works together for changes Because of several last minute resignations, the full-time faculty underwent a reduction which caused a need for hiring more part-time teachers. Although some full-time teachers were giv- en fewer teaching responsibil- ities, some had greater loads to contend with. This left them with less time to prepare for classes during the day and made it necessary to arrive at school ear- lier to get ready for a day ' s work. They found that they did more homework at night, too. Teachers who also coached athletics or sponsored an activity felt it really cut down on their free time. However, they con- cluded the benefits of getting to know the students better and de- veloping a personal relationship was worth the extra effort it took. Many of the teachers got in- volved in committees this year. The Faculty Advisory Committee actively discussed problems that teachers felt needed to be solved. On the whole, the faculty this year worked cooperatively to- gether to make changes for the better. As Miss Hampel put jt, The teachers worked together more this year, and there was a lot more effort towards having organization.

He kept busy on weekends traveling to Chicago and staying with church members. Since the Teachers College was a boarding school, Mr. Panning became very close to his schoolmates. It felt like one big happy family. Mr. Panning ' s teaching career started when he was a junior in college and the president of the college, affectionately nick- named The Old Man , asked him if he would like to teach. The president sent him to Wisconsin, where he taught in a one room school house. He met his wife there and later accepted a call to Fort Wayne. In his spare time, Mr. Panning keeps busy with an interesting hobby. He saves all scraps of wal- nut wood from the shop classes and puts various sayings on them. Some customers request specific inscriptions because they make personalized gifts. He started this hobby about 10 years ago when a friend gave him the idea. Besides selling his crafts, Mr. Panning takes them to hobby shows where he has won prizes. Mr. Panning retires at the close of this school year, leaving more time for working on his hobby and resting. After teachin g 45 years I am ready to leave my job, but I will miss it, he concluded. _ ■ w 102 FACULTY Mr. Glenn Parrish Mr. Thomas Mertins Mr. Wayne Panning Science Business Education Mr. Michael Meyer Mr. Glenn Parrish Religion Business, Dean of Students Miss Joan Miller Mr. Raymond Pasche Art Instructional Materials Center Sgt.

At CLHS Mr. Werner has taught everything from science to math, served as assistant principal for 10 years and as a guidance counse- lor. This year a change in the at- tendance procedure gave Mr. Werner the job as head of atten- dance. Clarinda, Iowa was Mr. Werner ' s home until he left for Concordia Teachers College in Seward, Nebraska. In 1937 he ac- cepted a call to Emmaus here in Fort Wayne and remained there until he came to Concordia. His summer vacations provided him the chance to work with his hands through gardening, paint- ing and building houses. At the end of the 77-78 school year, Mr. Werner will retire, ending his 22 years at Concordia. He exper- ienced mixed feelings about the decision. I look forward to the free time, but when September comes, I will miss all of the stu- dents and faculty. School keeps a teacher eternally young through involvement of sports and other activities. These years have pro- vided me with many good and memorable times. t Sta ™ FACULTY 105 Mr. Fred Weiss z 5 Religion duties shared % Concordia ' s religion depart- ment underwent several changes this year. Eight parttime teachers were hired for first semester in order to replace Pastor David Schlie who accepted a call to Bethlehem Church in mid-Au- gust. These replacements includ- ed Mr. Raymond Huebschmann, Rev. Ronald Miller, Rev. Donald Rauhut, Mr. Richard Sauer, Rev. David Schlie, Rev. Luther Strasen, Rev. Theodore Taykowski, and Rev. Raymond Weber. Accepting his first teaching as- signment, Mr. Jeff Brickman took over the temporary duties as a religion teacher during second semester. Graduating from Con- cordia Teachers College in Sew- ard, Nebraska in December, Mr. Brickman taught classes in New Testament and Principles of v Faith.

FACULTY 107 Together frosh join in new classes On my first day at Concordia I already knew some people so I felt at home, remarked fresh- man Dan Konow. This was the re- sponse of some freshmen, but most still felt the traditional feel- ings of being scared and lost on the first day of school. Problems of locating their right classes, being on time, and finding lockers were on the minds of most freshmen. Tim Ihssen com- mented, My locker wouldn ' t open because 1 had the wrong combination. Then only four weeks into school came initia- tion. For one day they had to wear bibs, kneel, and sing the school song. After initiation Son- dra Bollinger said, Initiation showed a lot of school spirit and helped the freshmen get to know the upper classmen. Many op- portunities provided freshmen with the chance to meet students and teachers at club meetings, sports, and special events. These extracurricular activities helped get freshmen into the spirit of things at Concordia.

So what do you do to keep them busy? First Mrs. Nelson gave passes to the library, then she tried to keep the rest of the class occupied. On days when the freshmen were espe- cially rowdy, she kept their atten- tion with word scramble games, reading magazines, grading papers, and running errands. As she said, I didn ' t want study hall to be a babysitting hour so I gave them something constructive to do, then it was a learning exper- ience. The freshmen seemed to I agree with her logic.

They Sophomores began to feel more at home at Concordia. They could become involved in activities such as Junior Achieve- ment, reserve and varsity sports, and the pom pon and flag squads. At the end of the year, they be- came eligible to audition for the A Cappella choir. In English class they learned about the life of Julius Caesar, read short stories, and wrote their career papers. Most of their schedules also included geo- metry and biology. During freshmen initiation they had a chance to seek re- venge but, as Kelli Hillery said, This year ' s initiation wasn ' t half as bad as we had it. These 210 sophomores showed a lot of spirit during the year. I think sophomores have the most spirit. We try harder than anyone else in the school, said Janet Braun. They managed to get a class party going to com- plete their Homecoming hall de- corations which came in first place and finished second in the float competition.

Concordia was one of these schools. The U.S.D.A. hoped the study would help with student partici- pation in lunch programs and de- crease the amount of food waste. Phase I began on September 12 and ended October 7, 1977. Type A lunches, using an offer versus serve process, were offered to students. They had a choice of one of two entrees and three of six other items including vegeta- bles, fruits, and breads. Concor- dia began working up to this pro- gram four to five years ago and found an increase in student par- ticipation. Lisa Cordes said, The food was better and there was more variety. After Phase I ended, a two week adjustment period began. During this time, there was a gra- dual change from Phase I to Phase II which offered lunches with one item from each of the four basic food groups. This phase began October 24 and ended November 18. The sophomores, the group who participated in the study, were surveyed during their Eng- lish classes to determine how they felt about the program. Dur- ing the lunch hours, their trays were tagged and collected by U.S.D.A. workers and then were weighed to see how much food was wasted. They found that Concordia ' s sophomores wasted little food. When interviewed at the be- ginning of the year, Mrs. Hall, su- pervisor of the school cafeteria, said, The program is costing the government a lot of money, but if they find out what the senior high students ' preferences are, it will be a worthwhile project. The U.S.D.A. won ' t be able to tell us just how well the program actually worked until next fall when all the facts and figures have been gathered.

The junior class grew closer together as a result of the past three years ' experiences. Many obtained the added privi- lege of driving to school. Others filled leadership positions in var- ious clubs and organizations at CLHS. Students not only gained re- sponsibility, they also had more fun. The recent year held a var- iety of events for them. Anticipa- tion of class rings provided a cli- max in September. Spring brought the excitement of the Prom. The required courses of U.S. History and religion provid- ed for many of the usual com- plaints from students. But, for many, the coming of their senior year was the best of all.

I looked forward to the Powder Puff game. It was a lot of hard work, but it was fun, com- mented junior Denise Daggett. Many junior girls shared in the anticipation of the Powder Puff game. Senior and junior girls donned football jerseys and bat- tled in the traditional homecom- ing contest on the football field. The good points of Powder Puff generally out-weighed the bad experiences, although problems appeared this year. Mr. Weiss stated, I am a little bit con- cerned about the bad feelings that existed. But maybe with some changes, we can see whether we can ' t straighten out some things. Although the juniors lost 26-0, many gained knowledge and par- ticipated in new experiences. Cheryl Brown said, I learned how to play football through Powder Puff. I also learned what the guys have to go through. The class also felt a new sense of unity. The junior guys joined in this spirit through cheerleading and coaching the girls. It gives you a chance to know classmates better, Ann Goeglein said. Mr. Weiss put it this way, I think it was fun and created a good spirit for Homecoming Week. The juniors lost this year, but as Sue Snyder remarked, Next year should be better!

School spirit improved this year and activities and sports received much more support than in pre- vious years, commented John Nommay. Dalene Schaefer be- lieved that much accomplish- ment was possible in fouryears. Graduation came fast and held many mixed emotions for most seniors. The end of high school approached rapidly and meant sending applications and tran- scripts to colleges, talking with Mr. Gallmeier, and making the decisions on what to do after graduation. The question often arose in many seniors ' minds, Will we be prepared? and Did the teachers teach us the right things? Eunice Rodenbeck re- plied, The faculty was helpful and the administration ' s deci- sions reflected what was best for the students at Concordia. Da- lene expressed the views of many seniors.

Freshmen entered Con- cordia and seniors graduated. The busi- ness of learning took place as usual. Most of us spent the year learning to live, laugh, and love together. But though the year was like many others, it had special qualities that set it apart in our memories. Each of us had experiences we had never felt before, or would again. Every event participat- ed in and every relationship formed contributed to our growth as individ- uals. We discovered hidden strengths in our own characters and special quali- ties we had never appreciated before in those around us. None of us was the same person in May as we had been in September. Our exposure to new peo- ple, ideas, and lifestyles caused us to grow and mature into the people we are now. For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: ... a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; ... a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate . . . (Ecclesiastes 3: 2, 4, 7, and 8) ABOVE: Junior Jeff Kachmann realizes that learning to win and lose gracefully is all part of the maturing process. 168 CLOSING
