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

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.
