That is what our Lutheran faith brings to Concordia. We worship and praise God together, and we share our lives with one another. Through weekly chapel services, all members of the Concordia family were able to celebrate Jesus Christ ' s great love for us — side by side. These close ties single out Concordia as a unique school in which we can learn and grow. O O E E o o spirit through reIigion 5 (A o E e State ranking after only the first varsity basketball game brought a somewhat dead spirit back to life again at Concordia. A group of guys wearing cowboy hats began the revival with popular cheers unique only to the Cadets. A close race for the SAC title brought standing room only crowds to the Cadet cage. Spirit at Concordia continued to climb until the sectionals highlighted the efforts of the whole season. Senior Karen Bradtmiller enthusiastically yelled to her friends at a home game, Concordia sure has a bunch of rowdy dowdies . . . it s GREAT! hi 1 sB W B ft 1 11 spirit through school ■iMttiiiiiiiiii Special relationships Writing term papers, taking semester finals, and participating in extra- curricular activities were all a part of our lives at Concordia. Teachers nioti- vated us to learn and reach higher levels of understanding, creating in us a desire to attain more knowledge. Throughout the year, from homecoming to graduation, new friends were made and good times passed. The times spent here allowed us to develop new outlooks on life, giving each of us the opportunity for a better future.

We have walked through the halls with 775 fellow students and spent 1218 class hours with them. But there are more than facts and figures to measure this year by. Many people gave their vacations and free time to help with projects at school, such as Lutheran Outreach and the Christmas Bureau, while oth- ers served through their own churches. Jobs demanded much of our time as did sporting events. When holiday season added to the pressure, we had to allow for the endless task of Christmas shop- ping. We were entertained by new faces this year, and in turn we en- tertained others. Styles of cloth- ing changed; they became both so- phisticated and nostalgic. This year was a unique one — which we struggled through together. student life division lK RIGHT; As the alarm in her bedroom goes off Cheri Miltcrmaier responds by burying herself beneath her pillow. BELOW: Members of the Ringling Brothers Bar- num Bailey Circus troupe march along St. Joe River Drive en route to the Memorial Coliseum. The time is 6:30 A.M. Suddenly the shrill ring of an alarm sounds. So the average student at Concordia began his day, rising before the sun and finding himself heading bleary-eyed to the start of another school day. Prying oneself out of bed came with varying degrees of difficulty, depending on the hour one went to bed. But early or late as the hour was, all students had to rise at one time or another and make their way through the doors of Concordia. Students came to school each morn- ing by different means of transporta- tion. Close neighbors of Concordia took advantage of the short distance between school and their homes by electing to walk or cycle to school. Some utilized the public and Lutheran schools ' bus service while others drove themselves to school and met the daily hassles of morning rush hour traffic. A lot of the morning drivers are sometimes over- cautious and can cause traffic jams, stated junior Mike Metz, especially when the roads are bad. Once at school, students entered their first hour classes and listened to an array of morning announcements. Teachers and students read devotions over the public address system and Thursdays were set aside for individual first hour devotions. Each Wednesday morning, Concor- dia ' s students and faculty were given the opportunity to worship together. This element of worship added to Con- cordia ' s uniqueness and individuality. Chapel-coordinator Mr. Terry Brein- inger commented, In organizing chap- el this year, we ' ve tried to make sure the services remained true to the Lutheran doctrines and at the same time, present- ed speakers who were able to relate to students. We ' ve tried to please as many people as possible.

It ' s especially hard for me to get moti- vated for classes on Mondays, ob- served senior Leila Ford, They just seem to drag. At times it seemed that individual days blended into weeks which in turn became months. A routine of going to classes, lunch, and then more classes only served to add to a day ' s monotony. But along with what seemed like end- less hours of boredom came a variety of events which served to brighten the days and make them special and unique. Throughout the year, special assem- blies were held where students and teachers had a chance to break from the routine. Concordia students were able to take advantage of assemblies given by students of Concordia Teachers Col- lege and the Afro-American Club plus a number of pep sessions. Also adding to the afternoon ' s sched- ule were extra-curricular activities. Groups held practices and meetings after school where students and teach- ers exchanged ideas while working to- 4. gether on common areas of interest. Students practiced for athletic events and drama presentations while clubs held meetings to plan for prospective trips and projects. Through extra-cur- ricular activities, students built lasting friendships, not only between them- selves, but also with their teachers. I don ' t think I would have appreciated my individual teachers for the people they are had it not been for my extra- curricular activities, said junior Ricky Hall.

When the average Concordia student finished his day at school, he often dis- covered his evening ' s entertainment would consist of preparing for the fol- lowing day ' s classes. This discovery was made every evening except for Friday. On Fridays the last thing I want to think about is my home work, said senior Ann Goeglein. Instead of studying, students made their way to football and basketball games which gave them an opportunity to back their teams and show their spir- it. Following the games, they would of- ten gather together and proceed to one of the near-by restaurants for an after- game snack or, in some cases, a full meal. To add variety to the night activities, Student Council provided nine dances throughout the year which ranged from casual discos to the Prom. Dance com- mittee chairman Dan Doehrmann com- mented, This year the attendance at the Student Council dances has been very good, mostly because we have been able to hire better bands. Weekend and evening activities gave students something to look forward to and helped make their high school memories something special and unique. ] ght moves Since fashion has become a billion dollar per year industry. Fort Wayne business has invariably increased. L.S. Ayres fashion coordinator Beth Bradley commented, Fort Wayne in general has a terrific profit margin! While keeping up with the changes in current fashion proved difficult for most, Concordia students had their own unique fashion personality comprised of a variety of styles. Many new styles for both girls and boys in clothing and ac- cessories were worn. For the girls, high- heeled sandals, seamed stockings, straight legged pants and designer jeans, vests, and ties seemed popular. Although not exclusively for the guys, men ' s fashions included the peter pan collars, down ski vests, hiking boots, and three piece suits. Every high school remained different in their fashion choices because of the students who set the trends, the clothes offered by the local stores, and the me- dia. Junior Raphaela Moore stated, Keeping up with styles can cost a lot and be time-consuming, but it ' s a way of saying who you really are.

The American work week leveled off at an average 40 hours, providing many citizens more leisure time. While those who could afford it took frequent ex- cursions to exotic tropical hide-aways, typical high school students spent their free time being entertained closer to home. As sedentary activities become more prevalent among Americans, the popu- larity of television, movies, stereo-lis- tening, and concert-going skyrocketed in 1978. The teenage market alone re- corded a record high of $14 billion spent on entertainment. The favorite television stars of 1978- 1979 among Concordia students includ- ed Alan Alda and John Belushi, conse- quently, M A S H and Saturday Night Live ranked high among popu- lar programs, with Mork and Mindy listed as one of the most-watched new shows. Box-office and drive-in movies continued to be a traditional pasttime for Cadet teenagers, with Animal House , Heaven Can Wait , and Su- perman listed as favorite selections. Billy Joel proved to be the hottest re- cording artist this year, releasing the best-selling albums, The Stranger and 52nd Street . There were very few concerts or performances at the Memo- rial Coliseum in the past year, and the artists that did appear usually had small audiences. However, comedian Steve Martin ' s appearance sold out and proved very successful. Junior Rachel Gemmer said, Steve Martin cracks me up; like myself he ' s wild and crazy! entertainment 21 rt receives recognitioix For the encouragement of student achievement in creative art Scholastic Magazines has created the National Scholastic Art Awards program. Art students at Concordia entered 72 dif- ferent projects ranging from photo- graphs to ceramics to textiles. At the downtown L.S. Ayres store the projects were judged against 12 oth- er area high schools where they re- ceived either Honorable Mention, Gold Key, or the highest possible award. Gold Key Finalist. This year eleven of Concordia ' s exhibits won Honorable Mention, one Gold Key, and one Gold Key Finalist. Sent to New York for judging, exhibits that won Gold Key Finalist awards became eligible for money awards in national competition. Renee Mueller, Gold Key Finalist, remarked, I think the Art Awards pro- gram is good because the people who are athletic have their matches and games, the people who _re musical have their concerts, this is recognition for artistic students. Debbie Anderson, Gold Key winner, added, If your inter- ested in art as a career, the contest al- lows you to see the competition that is involved in the field. .-|,.,.-.. Renee Mueller, mixed media.

During homecoming week, Cadet spirit ran high as the busy days kept everyone involved in the excitement. This year, Pajama Day made its debut during our dress up week. Students pa- raded around the halls in an array of zany P.J. ' s, curlers, and slippers. Togas, saddle shoes, and greased hair were oth- er popular get-ups donned during the week of fun. The homecoming committee planned an assembly for our king, queen, and court nominees where they posed ques- tions to test their originality and their charm. Karla Lewis explained, This year, female nominees were asked to answer the same question, and the male nominees likewise. This technique served its purpose as it aided students in comparing answers and therefore in choosing the most original of the nomi- nees. Mr. Parrish and the senior girls li- vened up the pep assembly by using a popular cheer, Go Bananas. The cheerleaders showed their support by literally transporting the varsity foot- ball players from one girl to the other and passing them down a line. All in all, the days spent throughout homecoming week proved successful in boosting spirit and getting students in- volved. As Captain Agness put it, I really got a kick out of homecoming this year, it contained more spirit than in the past. ABOVE: Senior Marcy Murray clowns around on Masquerade Day. homecoming days 25 ... and night§ BELOW: On the night of the homecoming game, Winnie the Pooh smiles as he sits on top of the winning senior float which displays the slogan, We want to Winnie, Pooh on the Knights! Homecoming nights seemed to re- flect the spirit and excitement of the days as Cadets stomped Lafayette Cen- tral Catholic 40-12. This game repre- sented the first homecoming game in three years in which Concordia came out victorious. Even though the homecoming game turned out to be an upset, the Powder Puff game which was played the pre- vious night, remained traditional with the senior girls winning. Seniors Karen Bradtmiller and Sherry Benecke scored all the senior touchdowns and the game concluded with a score of 26-6. Seniors stole the hearts of Winnie the Pooh lovers with a large replica of the famed pooh bear on their first place float. This was the third consecutive year for the class of ' 79 to take first place in float competition. Their catchy slogan read, We want to Winnie, Pooh on the Knights! Perhaps this motto proved an inspiration for Cadets in their victory. On Saturday night the excitement continued to grow while students at- tended the crowning of the homecom- ing king, queen, and the presentation of the court for the first time in the chap- el-auditorium. A semi-formal dance with the theme We never change; we only grow served as entertainment in the main gym after the coronation. This brought the climax to H omecoming ' 78 as students danced to music by Eclipse.

A total of seventy performers devoted four weeks of prac- tice after school and several nights each week to perfect their acts. The biggest challenge was coming up with an opening act that would catch the audience ' s attention and a closing to neatly tie things together, commented director Miss Shrubsall. With last minute adjustments and the tension of opening night, the perform- ers kept their cool as Luther Whitfield remarked, Before the show began, easy feelings among students precided back stage although there was a natural amount of anxiety. According to the performers, the crowd ' s response and a good turnout both nights helped make them more comfortable and contributed to the show ' s success.

Little Red Riding Hood and Friends titled this year ' s Toybox presentation of three story-book plays: The Brave Lit- tle Tailor, Lancelot the Lion, and Little Red Riding Hood. Preparation for these plays started January 22 with reading lines and planning costumes and sets. While most of the unusual costumes were available, Michelle Weiss and Miss Shrubsall constructed several of their own. The art depart- ment, along with the student helpers Mary Carlson and Barb Nobis, de- signed and built the sets. In order that two plays could be practiced at once, student director Ginger Pape advised the performers of one play while Miss Shrubsall directed the other. After a month of preparation, the group gave their first presentation on February 24 in the chapel auditorium. The most difficult thing for me was losing my inhibitions about being in front of such a large crowd, comment- ed actor Richard Pierce. Later, from Feb. 26-March 2, the performers toured the area day care centers and nursery schools. It was just a great experience to see the kids ' faces light up during the per- formance and afterwards when they asked for our autographs, remarked director Miss Shrubsall. toybox animate toybox 29 Holiday sparks getieiibsity Concordia ' s practice of collecting gifts, canned goods, and other necessi- ties for needy families as in the past six years, was again part of our Christmas festivities. This year Concordia sponsored 27 families while most high schools in the area sponsored only one. Mrs. VonDeylen and senior Kris Jor- dan took charge of the bureau. Mrs. VonDeylen commented, This year the families were very well provided for. Another part of our Christmas fes- tivities included a Christmas assembly, coordinated by Miss Dianne Shrubsall. A Christmas Carol, the play by Charles Dickens, was seen by the stu- dents, and two Santas made their ap- pearances while Christmas carols filled the air of the chapel-auditorium. For students as well as faculty, Christmas at Concordia seemed dif- ferent this year. In the past, the service was held at St. Paul ' s Lutheran Church downtown, but due to the fact that ap- propriate lighting could not be ob- tained, Christmas at Concordia took place in our chapel-auditorium. Filming took place during the actual service and was broadcasted on Chan- nel 33 Christmas night at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of this program was to share our worship and to bring the Christmas message to persons who might have been unable to attend a church service on Christmas. This was the tenth year we have shared this wor- ship service with the community. The culminating event of our Christ- mas season here at Concordia came with the Christmas Dance. On Saturday, December 23, Goeg- lein ' s Reserve became an exciting place. Jane Nold, president of the Christmas dance committee, organized the event. Providing music for the occa- 5ion was the band End Game. Follow the Star , the theme submit- ted by sophomore John Stennfeld, won him a pair of free tickets. Not only did the couples dance, talk with their friends, and indulge in the refreshments that were offered, but many couples also got their pictures taken together while sitting in a horse- drawn sleigh.

A majority of CLHS teachers sac- rificed their afternoons, evenings, and weekends to sponsor some facet of Concordia ' s extra-curricu- lar programs. This year we saw FBLA grow through a great surge in member- ship. Pep Club came and went, WLHI was entangled in a myriad of government rules and regula- tions, and new directors led our varsity band, A Cappella, and oth- er musical groups. Because of the efforts of our or- ganizations, the Fort Wayne com- munity had a chance to meet re- presentative groups of Concordia students through Christmas carol- ing, participation in local worship services, seasonal concerts, and radio broadcasts. Organizations organizations divisiqn 33 1978-79 Student Council reaches out Keeping students informed and in- volved proved worthwhile as Student Council organized activities for the year. First hour representatives were elect- ed to keep their classes up to date on Student Council events. They met bi- monthly during the school day to dis- cuss school issues and projects. In September, each first hour class organized their own booth to raise mon- ey for a carnival sponsored by the coun- cil. Voted on by the representatives, the money earned was sent to Wayne Roesner, the organizer of a children ' s home in Mexico. New activities such as the Student Council Travelers Club planned weekend gatherings like tobog- ganing, skating, and picnics for stu- dents to become better acquainted out- side of the school itself. The council ' s treasury increased through fundraising events, mainly that of monthly dances. The student body also reached out to other less fortunates through Christmas Bureau and Luth- eran Outreach. President Luther Whitfield com- mented, The student body ' s effort to help others made the Student Council unique.

Projects composed the main function of clubs and organizations and money played a key role in determining the quantity and extravagance of the planned events throughout the year. To engage in various activities, raising funds became a necessity. Bake sales after school proved the most common way to earn money, usu- ally grossing an average of $10-$ 15. Candy sales also occurred frequently during the year; band, FBLA, German and Latin Club all participated in sell- ing it. Lutheran Outreach used Concor- dia students and faculty as slaves for a day in the fall to help earn money. Student Council relied on dances as their main source of income, while the cheerleaders sold pretzels, cotton can- dy, and held car washes. Other attempts to raise funds included French Ill ' s French Cafe and Christmas cookie sale, and Luminarian ' s annual Valen- tine ' s Day flower sale. While some fund-raising events were extremely successful, others failed com- pletely. However, no matter how disas- terous the attempt might have been, it was the participation that counted. As Mr. Weiss put it, Getting involved in fund-raising is not only beneficial to the club supported, but provides good busi- ness experience that might be used later in life.

This year the band learned a new technique called multiple option. This aided the band in looking and sounding precise when doing football formations and drums corps routines. Bill Voelker commented, Mr. Wills was an inspiration at band camp; how- ever, his new methods took some get- ting used to. Performances at concerts and music contests, as well as at every home game half-time proved hectic for both the band and Mr. Wills. The Christmas concert featured a variety of traditional songs such as Theme from Nutcracker Suite. During their winter band con- cert, the band played a number of songs which would be played later while on their spring tour. To defray costs of the spring tour, band members participated in fund- raising activities. They sold a number of Christmas items and stocking stuffers. Concerning the year as a whole, Mr. Wills stated, I feel the band has made tremendous strides and I look forward to next year. 1978-79 Varsity Band: FRONT ROW: K. Thomas, R. Ka- bitzke, K. Baals, C.

He stressed the importance of distinct vowel pro- duction and introduced new exercises to increase range. The choir was involved in the pop concert in the fall and a spring sing which featured secular songs and a medley of commercials. Twice a month the choir visited surrounding churches for which they sang during services. Hymns and traditional music pre- sided over the holidays as the concert and Christmas at Concordia were aided by the presence of the A Cappella Choir. The active choir also participat- ed in the NISBOVA contest held in February. Mr. Braun commented, I feel the choir improved immensely since I first heard them at choir camp; however, they were a very well-trained group. 1978-79 A Cappella Choir: FRONT ROW: C. Goode, K.

The Cadet band, led by Mr. Paul Wills, consisted of 18 musicians who were not yet eligible for Varsity band. They per- formed at concerts throughout the school year and also participated in the Northern Indiana Schools Band, Or- chestra, Vocal Association contest. Their concerts included the fall pop concert, the Christmas concert, and spring concert. The Stage band, also conducted by Mr. Wills, was made up of people who performed strictly on a voluntary basis. This group met every Monday night to sharpen up their skills and learn how to incorporate variety into their music. They played mainly contemporary jazz and light rock selections. The Orchestra, led by Mr. William Braun, was a small group consisting of four members. This did not stop them from having fun, however. Conductor Mr. Braun stated, We are small, and we would like to grow, but we still enjoy ourselves. The Singers were perhaps the most active of the vocal groups. Led by Mr. Braun, it consisted by 20 members who specialized in sponsoring concerts pri- marily for outside church congrega- tions. The music featured was light, sec- ular, and spiritual. The Freshman chorus, also conduct- ed by Mr. Braun, had 67 members whose sole purpose was to prepare for future musical experiences. The group was a combination of the boys and girls choruses. The Advanced Girls ' chorus with its 22 members consisted of students who had some experience in singing. The group occasionally performed outside of school. Finally, the Handbell Choir, led by Mr. Paul Wills, performed for many functions outside of school, including the Kiwanis Club, Sportsmen ' s Ban- quet, and church groups.

Academic achievement, extra-cur- ricular clubs, honor courses, sports, and community projects usually comprised the activities of the members. However, to be eligible to join, one had to be included in the top 15% of the senior class, whose grade point average ranged from 10,0 to 10.9. The top 5% of the junior class became initiated into the organization in May. National Honor Society gave the top achieving students recognition for their work. Senior Pat Bohnke stated, While those involved in athletics are honored by jackets and trophies, the academically inclined students gain im- portance through N.H.S.

Not only did they not receive any finan- cial assistants from the school, but all the players were required to purchase their own equipment and provide them- selves transportation to the weekly Tuesday night games at the Memorial Coliseum. The athletes originally formed the ABOVE: Hockey Team: FRONT ROW: G. Vickers, J. Linnemeier, S. Vickers. BACK ROW: S. Kemp, M. Richert, G. Gatchell, W.

Since the game requires eleven participants on a team, drafting players from other schools became nec- essary. No Concordia teachers were avail- able for the coaching position, so two fathers of the players, Mr. Fay Richert and Mr. Don Vickers, volunteered their time and experience to work with the team. Since the squad wanted to repre- sent Concordia, they arranged for Mr. Gemmer to act as an advisor, a commu- nicative link between the coaches and the administration. The season began on October 31st and continued through February 20th with the team playing a total of 15 games and ending their season with a final record of 4-8. 44 hockey club LEFT: John Heingartner, Scott Davis, and Dan Heingartner, members of the motorcross club, stand behind Dan ' s new dirt bike. Cyclists pursue demanding sport The Motocross Club was created be- cause of the interest of students and has existed for two years. This year, Dan Heingartner acted as president, Tom Schnorr held the office of vice-presi- dent, John Heingartner performed sec- retarial duties, and Scott Davis man- aged the treasury. The team had no official coach but preferred to get to- gether with themselves or advisor Mr. Phil Eschels to exchange knowledge and advice. The athletes employed special train- ing techniques during the winter, their only off-season. They weightlifted and jogged to stay in shape. John Hein- gartner said, Motocross is the third most physically demanding sport. There were various competitive classes, divided according to bike size and skill. The individual team members competed with riders of the same class to insure a fair contest and raced at tracks in Indiana and Michigan during the warmer months. Motocross Club proved unique as it remained somewhat exclusive and an uncommon type of competition. To join the club, one needed a motorcycle and the ability to finance the various ex- penses encountered throughout the sea- son. Tom Schnorr remarked, Moto- cross takes skill, balance, muscle and experience, contrary to popular opinion that it ' s just riding around.

Letterpeople: more than athletes Both the Lettermen ' s and Letterwo- men ' s Clubs benefited from the guid- ance of two new teachers here at Con- cordia, Mr. Charles Ortman and Ms. LuAnn Wehmeier. The two main pur- poses of both clubs were to raise funds for the school, and to bring athletes closer together. The lettermen managed the coat check during basketball games and the concession stand during baseball and track. Although most are active mem- bers in the school, they took time out for meetings and recreational activities several times a month. A donkey basketball game which was played between the Lettermen ' s Club and the faculty and a volleyball game against the letterwomen were among the special events planned by the clubs. Mr. Ortman commented, The sen- ior guys have been a big inspiration as they ' ve revitalized the club through their spirit and guidance. 1 ' i w ; ABOVE: Lettermen ' s Club: FRONT ROW: J. Parrish, G.

Am. clubs increase activities Every Monday a talented group of people took time out of their busy schedules to discuss future art ideas and start working on new projects. The Rainbow Club, which spent many hours last summer painting mu- rals on the art room walls, then pro- ceeded to use their painting skills in the first floor restroom. By creating posters to advertise var- ious events and making backdrops for plays and skits, the club proved they were truly a service organization. As Miss Miller commented, This year the Rainbow Club aided in beautifying our school through their talent and perspec- tive. Afro-American Club met bi-weekly throughout the year to organize various activities and to promote friendship among members. Senior Daphne Book- er remarked, We ' ve done a lot of fun things which made us feel closer, like we ' re part of a family. Under the supervision of Mr. Schamber and the leadership of presi- dent Gary Gold, the club sponsored a car wash, disco dance, assembly, fash- ion show, and their annual picnic. All the profits were used for trips and pro- jects. Gary Gold said, All the mem- bers had a great attitude which helped us achieve a lot and have fun. LEFT: Afro-American Club: FRONT ROW: C.

The group con- sisted of 20 to 30 members who shared an interest in Latin culture. The only other requirement for membership was that students had to have completed their third year in Latin class. The group had a wide range of activi- ties, including a visit to the Chicago Art Institute in November, where many ex- amples of Latin artifacts and works of art were on display. The club met once a month with dues costing $1.00 per semester. Some other activities sponsored by the Latin club included a horror movie, a Greek ban- quet complete with Latin cuisine and entertainment. Several bake sales were also held during the year. The French Club engaged in many outside activities. Included among these were a Christmas party, a visit to a French restaurant, a hayride, and a bowling party. Miss Hampel, the advi- sor for this group, indicated that, We have no specific requirements; we just like to have fun. Fifty to sixty members consistuted the German club this year, making it the largest language club. Mr. Falken — the advisor, stated that the only requirements to become a member would be an interest in Germany and its culture. This club met two to three times a month and raised money to take a trip to Frankenmuth. ABOVE: 1978-79 French Club; FRONT ROW: D. Boness, C. Keller, E. Anderson, K. Burk- holder. SECOND ROW: C.

He stated, The whole reason for the Biology Club is to involve kids without them having to worry about grades. Although it is called the Biology Club, all other branches of science in- cluding chemistry and physics were in- volved as well. Although the club did sponsor a few bake sales, the main ac- tivities were usually science-related. These included dissection of various animals, a visit to a rock quarry and to the lU-PU campus for scientif ic dem- onstrations. ABOVE: 1978-79 Biology Club; FRONT ROW: G. Baals, D. Milligan, B.

As head of the Rifle Team, Mark Kramer commented, Continuous practicing with the use of good equipment is the only way for a team to accomplish anything. On Saturdays, from the months of February through May, rifle and drill tournaments took place at different schools such as Muncie, Indianapolis, Howe, Culver, Belmont and South Side. According to both groups, team spir- it plays an important part in their suc- cessfulness, as Drill Team captain Gin- ger Pape remarked, The fact that each of the team members are very close and friendly helps provide necessary school spirit.

Weeks of preparation kept both groups occupied as they perfected routines and marching techniques for the Three Riv- ers Festival and 4-H Parade. Besides practicing several days a week, they spent a day at Camp Lutherhaven learning pregame and halftime routines for upcoming football games. This year the routines involved more disco moves than traditional dance steps and we didn ' t always use our pom pons, remarked Christy Goode. Throughout the year pom pon and flag girls performed routines to the mu- sic of popular movies and television shows. During halftime at the Home- coming football game, the pom pon girls lit up the field with flashlights while doing a routine to Close En- counters. Also holding the crowd ' s at- tention at halftime was the flag girls ' colorful version of Love Boat. After the basketball season ended, both groups were relieved of perform- ing duties for several weeks before tryouts for next year ' s squads were held. LEFT: 1978-79 Pom-pon squad: FRONT ROW: D.

The club existed at CLHS for several years, but a big boost of membership helped the organization to survive. An organization is just what FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) is. That ' s what makes it dif- ferent. said co-advisor Miss Ross. It ' s not a club; it is one chapter of a national organization. Co-advisors Miss Ross and Mr. Pan- ning, along with old members, reflected an attitude that got business students involved and interested in FBLA. The membership drive and candy sales helped to start the year out right and many opportunities followed. Speakers were brought in, field trips conducted, and members encouraged to participate in all events. They not only learned more about the business world and their relationship with it, but also of the fellow state and national FBLA chapters. Several members attended the Re- gional FBLA Convention in Des Moines, Iowa, in November. In March enthusiasm sparked FBLA Concordia members at the State, FBLA Conven- tion in Muncie. I never really knew what FBLA was, commented first year member Sherry Link. Obviously, many students felt the same way. The growth of the membership reflected the new aware- ness and enthusiasm of a once dormant organization. FIRST ROW: T. Pape, D. Hille, S. Willeke, B Brase, L. Schroeder, J. Knipstein, K.

GAA intramurals play for fun Girls who enjoyed sports got in shape and had a good time doing it in GAA. At the beginning of the year the girls planned to play volleyball, basketball and go bowling. Divided into six differ- ent teams, the girls ' volleyball tourna- ment lasted until Thanksgiving vaca- tion. Planned and paid for by GAA, the reverse hayride featured square danc- ing, a bonfire and a hayride, and made enough money to cover their expenses for the year. Although the idea of square dancing didn ' t appeal to many people at first, what started out as a few lone couples, turned into a floor full of knee-stomping dancers. Being in GAA was worth the time to me because you don ' t have to be especially good in a sport to have fun playing it, remarked Kristie Burk- holder. Intramurals was a good way for any guy to get involved in sports without going out for a team, remarked Mr. Gemmer, advisor for intramurals. During the year, approximately 150 boys participated in intramurals. Be- cause of new tennis courts and an ex- pressed interest, a tennis tournament was held in early September. Volleyball and basketball occupied after school time during the fall and winter months, while the spring sports included bowl- ing and ping-pong.

Isn ' t that what school is all about? The faculty and staff here at CLHS haven ' t forgotten that a good education is the foundation for post-high school success. Concordia stu- dents have proven that our aca- demic program is one of the best in the state. Our Scholastic Apti- tude Test scores have consistent- ly been higher than those of Fort Wayne Community School stu- dents, and substantially above the average scores of all Indiana stu- dents. After graduating from Concor- dia, alumni have sustained their impressive record. In a major Indi- ana university, former CLHS stu- dents maintained a scholastic standing well above the average. During the past 15 years, Con- cordia has received a freshmen scholarship award three times from Indiana University. No other area high school can claim this achievement. What makes Concordia so spe- cial, so unique? The teaching force has to be a major factor. Al- though our faculty earns approxi- mately 30 percent less than com- parable public school teachers, they remain at CLHS. Their dedi- cation and concern for students is what makes the notable differ- Academics academics division 55 RIGHT: Beth Meyer arranges the order of her slides at Parkview ' s Oncology Center, while pre- paring a documentary on chemotherapy.

The agony and the ecstasy For the eighth consecutive year, sen- iors in Mr. Jordan ' s English Orienta- tion for College class went through the trials and tribulations of the Commu- nity Documentary. Watching an autopsy, touring the art museum, picking up stray dogs with the humane officer and following a snow plow are examples of the different kinds of researching students became in- volved in while preparing their docu- mentaries. Developed as an alternative to the ordinary library research paper. the documentary required either a photo essay or a slide-tape presentation. The subjects of all the documentaries centered around the Fort Wayne com- munity. Because preparation involved many hours, released time from classes was available to help students in com- pleting their documentaries. The troubles that arose while doing a documentary on the Humane Shelter were expressed by senior Karol Shu- gart, My camera went dead while I was taking pictures of a spaying opera- tion; we lost the Public Library ' s news- paper clippings from their vertical file, and the Humane Shelter ' s van, which I was supposed to ride in to watch the process of picking up stray dogs, broke down. Asking questions, taking pictures, and recording interviews created prob- lems in some circumstances, but most students found cooperation and a will- ingness to help from the people they came in contact with while working on their community documentaries . 56 english — documentary LEFT: After putting in many hours of work, freshman Karen Koch completes writing the final draft of her autobiography.

Freslnnen researcli roots Writing autobiographies in English class was one of Concordia ' s traditions that all freshmen had to endure again this year. The completed autobiographies were kept in the school ' s files. One reason for this was to provide the Guidance De- partment with a personal history of each student rather than just a factual school record. Another reason, accord- ing to freshmen English teacher Mrs. Jordan, They ' re a good way to have kids sort out where they are, who they are, and where they ' re going. When students are seniors, they pick up their autobiographies from their school files. In the past remarked Mrs. Jordon, this has often enabled them to see how much they have changed in four years. This year the autobiographies were written during the last 4-5 weeks of school. Imposing no strict guidelines on the six chapters of the book allowed each student to write about topics unique to himself. Most students in- cluded hobbies and interests, exper- iences at school, and future goals. Oth- er popular subjects were books, movies, values, and most pleasant or unpleasant experiences. A separate Roots project was also included dealing with family trees. This gave students a chance to talk with par- ents or grandparents to find out about their ancestral backgrounds. english — autobiography 57 D.C. in a nutshell It was a worthwhile trip because I learned a lot about the different aspects of government and the people who run it. It ' s always good to get away from the daily routine for awhile. These were the remarks of senior Reggie Doyle after missing a day of school to go to Washington, D.C.

October 31st. During the one- day trip, students toured the nation ' s capitol visiting historic sites, govern- ment buildings, and national monu- ments. Highlights of the trip included the White House, Capitol Hill, and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. Sev- eral students visited the National Ar- chives where Nixon ' s Resignation, and the original Constitution and Declara- tion of Independence are displayed. A favorite spot of many students was the Supreme Court. Junior Kathy Holl- man commented, Seeing the Supreme Court in action was the second best part of the trip for me; the best part was actually seeing comedian Bob Hope in the Smithsonian Institute Aero-Space Museum. The trip, which has been taken both of the last two years, might be taken every other year from now on.

LEFT: An example of the artwork from Pompeii, this intricately designed mosaic was preserved un- der volcanic ash. Romans revisit Pompeii On November 9th and 10th, 15 third and fourth year Latin students traveled to Chicago to see the Pompeii exhibit. Pompeii, an Italian city, was buried by an erupting volcano in A.D. 79. Uncov- ered in the 18th century, artifacts that showed the culture and lifestyle of Pompeii had been preserved under the volcanic ash. It ' s amazing that two thousand year old statues and pictures could be so well preserved, remarked senior Sandy Magnuson. The students raised money for the overnight trip by charging admission to a Halloween horror movie in the school auditorium. Before driving to Chicago to see the Pompeii exhibit, they spent a couple of weeks in the library research- ing the subject. Kathy Winkler commented, I was impressed by the mosaics; they were in really good shape, with clear colors, and not broken up at all. The casts of ani- mals and people also proved intereset- ing. Because the Pompeii exhibit was in the Art Institute of Chicago building, students also could enjoy the other art exhibits featured in the museum.

Our comput- er can and should be used in some way in almost every class at Concordia , commented Mr. Gayer. Depending on donations for financ- ing and with no previous experience, Mr. Gayer built the computer and first terminal in 1975, and finished installing the second terminal this year. He put them together piece-by-piece, some parts literally assembled from scratch. Future plans call for adding a line print- er, disc storage, and more terminals. The computer was used this year to some extent in all math classes. Many teachers used it for figuring grades. Students in Mr. LeBeau ' s world history class could get extra credit by taking quizzes on the computer, or by playing a game called Oregon Trail which simulated pioneers crossing the fron- tier. In chemisty classes students simu- lated lab experiments on the computer. During study halls and free time many used it for drawing or playing games. The goal is to make students com- fortable with the computer; from there they will go on to learn about it and use it correctly, remarked Mr. Gayer RIGHT: Junior Mark Lupke helps junior Kathy Hollman work out a mathematical problem.

The first step of all students was to think of the kind of cartoon they want- ed to create: funny, serious, sarcastic, a continuing story, or a social comment. They then created the characters, what ONti [1-4 AJ CHC ' C-... they looked like, and the setting and background. After roughly drawing the different frames of the strip on news- print paper, the students traced them on white paper, added lettering, and colored the comic strips in. The subjects of the completed comic strips ranged from school activities to outer space to restaurant workers. After putting a full comic section to- gether from the students comic strips, art teacher Miss. Miller planned to dis- play it in the library showcase. A few of the cartoons were even put in the Lu- Hi Voice newspaper. Cheri Mittermaier remarked, Drawing the cartoons gave me an op- portunity to express myself as well as providing an insight into the career of a cartoon artist.

The girls often feel that changing time is not adequate to prepare for en- trance back into the hallways. Over- hearing freshman Cathy Anzini once, I hate it when I wear a dress. It takes so much longer to get ready for class. Searching after class for misplaced jew- elry or clothing often delays many girls and seems to throw them into a state of frenzy. Curling irons and cans of hair spray are used in front of us to fix their flattened hair. With chatter constantly going on, the girls ' locker room holds many interesting stories. The noise level in the guys ' locker room is usually just as, or frequently even louder than the girls. However, their discussions contain topics that dif- fer from the girls ' . Talking includes a popular idea called cracking ort ' one or two individuals. Those being cracked ■ on either just laugh along or completely ignore the rest of the group. For fresh- man Warren Dennis a practical joke by his friends even included locking him in the locker room. He ended up breaking the metal screen to get out. We ' ve also noticed a change through the years about guys ' attitudes toward them- selves. While waiting to look at himself, Michael Beasley once thought, These guys now days spend as much time in front of mirrors as a bunch of girls. The bell rings. The five minute pass- ing time begins. The atmosphere of both locker rooms now somewhat changes. With the next class coming in before the last one is out, the over- crowded quarters often cause confusion and slight tension for those trying to get out. However, many students still find time to give just one last look at them- selves as they hurriedly head for the doors.

BELOW: Freshman religion students prepare re- ports dealing with stories from the Old Teste- ment. Religion aims at daily life Realizing students ' problems and questions, Concordia ' s Religion De- partment stressed Christian living in classroom topics. Junior Penny Wilson stated, Teenagers need a class that really centers around what we face day to day. I think many of the religion courses offered such a class. The religion department combined a program where underclassmen had no choice in their courses, but as a junior or senior, students picked two nine- week classes based on their own inter- est. Both, however, contained units on the Bible and also on problems and con- cerns of society. Many juniors and sen- iors found Love, Marriage, and Fam- ily as the most popular course due to the general appeal of the topic. Beth Kanning commented, That class was interesting because we had discussions that included things we ' re facing now. or soon will be in the future. During the second semester, a small number of students took advantage of the new Faith, in Action class. This included using Christianity for others in need of the community and its services. Mr. Breininger concluded, Through the religion courses, we wanted the stu- dents to use their biblical knowledge in making decision in everyday life.

Seventeen students from CLHS partici- pated in the school designed to intro- duce and train interested individuals in special skills and vocations. Spending a half day here at Concordia, and the other half in the vocational program, only juniors and seniors were eligible for enrollment at the RVS. Require- ments also included a business-like atti- tude and willingness to work. Most of the students found RVS beneficial for future plans. Guidance counselor Mrs. Crownover commented, Many students received the feeling of success because they enjoyed it, and found a meaning in it. For those who developed job readiness , placement in a cooperative program offered the opportunity to earn while you learn . This introduced them to the adult world of employment. Through this exper- ience some students realized the need for further education and decided to pursue training in college or appren- ticeships. However, for those who dis- covered their first career choice was not suitable for them, it gave them the op- portunity to change their plans for the future.

Concordia ' s curriculum offered 12 business courses for stu- dents. This year for the first time ever, two classes were needed to accommo- date 45 accounting students, in com- parison to a 13 member class only six years ago. Mr. Panning noted, Stu- dents are simply becoming more inter- ested in classes dealing with practical situations. Business teachers, following the trend, stressed career opportunities by iicluding field trips and guest speakers as a special part of their classes. Busi- ness classes not only prepared students for basic jobs, but also introduced them to different areas of work. They could then decide whether or not to pursue their interest in a career in business, added Mr. Panning. After instruction in typing, business machines, and shorthand, students of- ten held parttime jobs using these skills. Employers, through personal attach- ment or Concordia ' s reputation, offered various full-time positions to students who excelled.

This year those in some of the science courses had the opportunity to study fossils. In the fall. Advanced Biology and geography classes took a field trip to a quarry in Ohio. Throughout the day, the students worked at chiseling fossils off the stone walls surrounding the quarry. They obtained fossils of plants and small animals, all with mea- surements of about an inch long, and an inch wide. With the fossils they collected, they provided an idea of past life. Mr. Geis- chen explained, By exploring past ages, we can better understand things useful to us today, such as weather and climate.

Mistakes result in flops The students enrolled in foods classes occasionally experienced some mishaps with their cooking endeavors. Although the recipes used were all tested, a possi- bility of poor results occurred when di- rections were not followed accurately. Since recipes had to be rewritten from either cookbooks or textbooks, mistakes were not uncommon. Fresh- man Dawn Cleveland found that poach- ing eggs without a lid created a soggy mess. She said, That was the only thing I forgot to include in the recipe, but it really made a difference. Han- nah Gemmer had trouble after adding an extra cup of shortening to her choco- late chip cookies, making them too greasy to consume. Hannah also acci- dently pulled the oven door off when attempting to check on her popcorn, which then exploded wildly about the kitchen. Depending on how bad the recipe flopped, the food either got eaten or thrown away. Afterwards, Mrs. Von- Deylen and the students involved would discuss the failure, and attempted to discover the nature of the problem. Mrs. VonDeylen concluded, Because of the high cost of food and the variety of projects we do, we tried to keep the amount of mistakes at a minimum.

Directors Paul Wills and Bill Braun made it clear those were busy times for them.

Things became a bit hectic for the JROTC program at Concordia this year. In September, due to the fact that the unit was small, it took a great deal of effort to recruit more members. The JROTC group, taught by Cpt. Thomas S. Agness, and Sgt. Paul Mill- er increased approximately 65 members to 103 members by September 15. This increase in enrollment resulted from the hard work of both Cpt. Agness and Sgt. Miller to bring in students through the use of announcements and personal contacts. Cpt. Agness commented, Students really did a good job of joining and getting their friends to join. Sgt. Mill- er added, If new members wouldn ' t have been willing to join, the JROTC program would have been discontinued. possibly never to return to Concordia in future years. To avoid a similar situation next year, the JROTC group seriously con- sidered the adoption of a cross-enroll- ment program. This would involve re- cruiting students from other schools in the Fort Wayne area who might be in- terested in Concordia ' s JROTC pro- gram.

At the beginning of the year members sold advertisements to local businessmen. The 12 staffers found that researching, writing, and typing, neces- sitated spending extra hours on week- ends and after school to complete their assignments before the bi-weekly dead- line. Advisor Mrs. Linda Schwartz re- quested one or two stories per student when the issues involved four pages; however, an eight page spread required two or three articles. Tim Ihssen felt that deadlines were often a rush. Taking Lu-Hi Voice as a class pro- vided journalism experience for staff members. They met various people with different backgrounds and personal- ities. Junior Sandy Bulmahn stated, They broadened my awareness of school activities and were very interest- ing. The newspaper proved helpful not only to those students interested in con- tinuing their education in journalism, but improving basic writing skills, in- creased vocabulary, and aided them in learning how to express thoughts clear- ly, all skills used in other classes. The newspaper also offered opportunities for experience in business management, photography and layout. The ideas for stories came mainly from Mrs. Schwartz, Kris Jordan, the editor, and her assistant Tim Ewell. Be- ing alert to the happenings at school, recognizing seasonal events, and check- ing club beats were necessary factors in determining ideas for articles. Since the paper ' s goals included printing more eight page spreads, it be- came mandatory for the staff to incor- porate more feature stories into their issues. It demanded total dedication and hard work from the members. Sen- ior Kris Jordan stated, Everyone had to be devoted to their work in order for us to get a lot of quality copy and pho- tographs and still make the deadlines.

In the first month of the school year the newly formed journalists had to work especially hard to learn new skills in writing copy, drawing layouts, and taking and developin g photo- graphs. Luminarian differed from other classes because it stressed working in- dependently and taking more responsi- bility. The students had freedom to work alone, and leaving the classroom proved to be necessary to gather infor- mation, photographs, materials, and people needed for picture-taking or in- terviews. Students also took responsibil- ity in grading their jobs on a nine-week basis, and Advisor Mrs. Linda Schwartz used these self-evaluations when considering grades.

Though season records differed from team to team, all shared the attribute of togetherness. Through team de- termination, the freshmen rallied to improve and grow, so that next year they would be ready to fill reserve teams and lend encour- agement to fellow players. Juniors and sophomores worked to keep their positions on teams or to ad- vance through the ranks, always keeping in mind that their goal was to start or stay on a varsity team. During their last year at Concordia, the seniors strove to make this season their best ever. During his last year as head football coach, Mr. Jack Massucci stressed the concept of the team working as a family. The family extended to include the entire stu- dent body as we joined enthusias- tically to support our teams. athletics division 73 fARSITY TALENT EXCELS Thirty percent of Concordia ' s foot- ball team displayed their ambitiousness by voluntarily working out on weights three nights a week throughout the summer months. However, the first of- ficial practice didn ' t commence until August 7. The team set a common goal of having a winning season and ended up with a record of 6-3. The number of points that resulted on the scoreboard next to Concordia ' s name topped those in recent years. Coach Jack Massucci accredited the high amount of scoring to effective run- ning and passing. He added, The one element that made our team so unique this year was our great speed and good attitude. The team included twelve people who ran the 40 yard dash under five seconds and two who ran it with a time of 4.6 seconds. The Cadets found it necessary to overcome several obstacles on the route to success. Coach Massucci remarked, Although opposition was the main hurdle, we had to place more emphasis on the teams effort rather than an indi- vidual ' s. Despite the fact Ron Beasley led the city in scoring with 11 touch- downs (66 points), assistant coach Jon Anderson felt, There was a great bal- ance of talent which really got us through the season and will be benefi- cial to our offense next year.

During the 1978 season, the reserves practiced with the varsity football team, with the attitude that this was mainly a training and preparation sea- son for next year. As a team, the players worked on improving their passing game. Juniors Roger Curry, George Eldridge, and Randy Stokes led the team, according to coach Meyer. Ending the season with a 0-8 record, the reserve ' s game against Elmhurst proved to be the highlight of the year. The team scored two touchdowns, one on a pass from Quentin Moore to Phil Schnorr, the other on a fumble recovery by George Eldridge who then ran the ball into the end zone.

Throughout the sea- son the team ' s offense performed con- sistently with long sustaining drives, us- ing both a good running and passing attack. Their defense never gave up more than one touchdown in seven of their eight games. The Dwenger and New Haven con- tests highlighted the year. For the first time in a decade, the freshmen defeated the Saints. Even though New Haven ' s team had a 5-0 record, the freshmen were able to capitalize on the Bulldog ' s mistakes, beating them 20-7. Having the experience of new assis- tant coach Charles Ortmann proved to be a major change for this year ' s team. The former Valparaiso University quarterback worked mostly as back- field coach. Commenting on this year ' s successful season, coach Breininger concluded, We tried to play straight up and utilize our team ' s speed and quickness.

RIGHT: Juniors Fred Buls and Craig take long strides to increase speed and end The 1978 Cross Country team began their season in August with a new coach, Mr. Phil Eschels. He faced the challenge of coaching a sport in which he had no previous experience. The 1977 Cross Country coach, Mr. Tom Mertins, briefed him before the first official practice on a basic coaching outline he could follow. Mr. Eschels set out with a goal to build the team physically, so he pushed the team hard during workouts. He had the team sprint, run a distance, and fin- ish by sprinting, which built up endur- ance for the second mile of the two mile race. Mr. Eschels commented, Appar- ently this method was effective, I saw a lot of improvement after we started us- ing it. The team ended their season with an overall record of 2-7. The highlight of the season, according to sophomore Jim Buholtz, was t he meet against Lima. He said, Almost all of us had our best time of the season for the second time in a row. Running a 12:46.0 race. Sen- ior Rich Rauhut became eligible for the 12 minute club. Cross country, an individual sport, often contradicted its nature when teammates got together and cheered each other on. As Dave Milligan put it, We were a tight team and with only eight members, I wasn ' t a bit stunned.

Concordia ' s girl ' s volleyball team be- gan practicing on August 15, but 66 per cent of the players had participated on YMCA teams throughout the summer which gave them extra experience. Senior co-captains Pam Eastman and Patty Hellwege provided leadership and direction, factors which enabled the team to end their season with a record of 13-4. As manager Cindy Gunkler put it, They had more burden than the rest of the girls. They had to set a good example, and talk to the players to get team spirit up. Like every sports team, the Cadets had their share of both exhilarating and frustrating experiences. Winning three conference games, including a victory over state-ranked Harding, proved ex- citing for the team. Cindy Messersch- midt remarked, It was great! We had to go out and overcome some difficult situations. However, losing to Dwenger, Luers, and Wayne left coach Bob Michael frustrated. He stated, It was hard to sit on the bench, watch the girls play to their potential, never give up, and still lose the game. The team players had to cooperate with each other to be successful. Sopho- more Peggy Bulmahn summed it up by saying, We all went into a game with confidence and because we got along personally, we worked together well.

According to Coach Glenn Parrish, the deciding fac- tor that made this year ' s winning season was Talent, we had three seniors who had been starting on the varsity team since they were sophomores. They had been on a winning freshman team and knew how to play under pressure. Most importantly, they put the team in first place, and themselves second. The eight member team worked on building up a good defense, utilizing fast breaks, and developing a press. Senior Jeff Parrish remarked, By us- ing a press throughout the whole game, we were able to wear out our opponents and force turnovers. The school record of most points scored in a game was broken early in the season against Woodlan with 105 points, only to be shattered in the last home game with a 109 to 64 defeat over Luther North. James Lowery, four year member of the varsity team, and twice Player of the Week passed the 1000 accumulated point mark in the Harding game. Teamwork and unity, stressed throughout the year by Parrish, proved to be an asset in close games. Seniors Steve Willeke and Gary Gold substitut- ed throughout the year contributing ex- perience and team leadership. The matches against Harding during the Holiday Tournameny and regular season, and the North Side game proved to be highlights of the year. Al- though Harding had previously been undefeated, the Cadets exercised their quickness beating them 78 to 73 in the tournament. In a close regular season game, Ron Beasley tipped the ball in as the buzzer sounded, allowing the Ca- dets to win 66 to 64. Defeating North Side, for the first time in 16 years on our home floor, kept the team in the running for the SAC title. Reflecting on the winning season, Ron Beasley, member of the All-City Holiday Tournament Team added, This year we had the best supportive fans since I ' ve been at Concordia, with support behind us, we play a lot harder. 102 varsity basketball LEFT: Coach Glenn Parrish gathers the team together during a time-out to discuss strategy.

Scrimmages against the varsity in nightly practices offered the reserves the opportunity to play against stronger opposition. This helped reserve players to improve so they could fill openings on the varsity level. Six experienced juniors and a lot of agility proved to be the strong points of the team. Their fast moves were stressed in order to elimi- nate errors during their relatively de- fensive games. Coach Wayne Panning stated, I feel that the team worked together well. The boys were very unselfish and practiced a lot of teamwork. Chris Goeglein thoughtfully added, I feel that the experience of the juniors helped the sophomores along and pro- vided for a winning season.

FROSH BREAK RiCORD This year the freshman basketball team proved itself unique as they fin- ished the season with a new school re- cord of 18-0. Originality also prevailed as the team avoided the ever-popular zone defense and used man-to-man in- stead. Throughout the season, this and other strategies were stressed while the members practiced strenuously two hours every night after school. The team played against both confer- ence and non-conference schools at games held on weeknights. Although the shooting occasionally faltered, the team compensated for it by hustling on the floor. The Cadets proved successful in their victories over Ben Geyer and Blackhawk, two previously top-rated junior high school teams. Coach Michael Meyer commented, The boys did not compose a one-man team or a five-man team, but it was truly a sixteen-man team. Each one contributed to our victories and it wouldn ' t have been the same without any one of them.

We especial- ly concentrated our efforts on quickness and agility, he commented. Once the season began, the starting five players of the varsity team consist- ed of freshman Anne Quilhot, sopho- more Judy Brunow, juniors Amy Brunow, and Becky Snyder, while the fifth position was alternated. Being a fairly young and inexperienced team, we had to learn that winning required the combined efforts of the entire team, remarked center Judy Brunow. Throughout the season, the team en- countered some exceptionally hard Pkai competition, but they managed to com- plete the year with an overall 6-9 re- cord. One of our major victories was the defeat of North Side which showed that the girls can indeed play against top teams and come through victori- ous, remarked Coach Pinnow. Each year all SAC girls ' basketball coaches nominated girls they consid- ered to be outstanding players. Anne Quilhot, Judy Brunow and Amy Brunow received Honorable Mention for their play. Mr. Pinnow also had the responsibil- ity of coaching the reserve team. He tried to rotate the players often and gave everyone as much experience as possible. Their season ended at 6-7. 106 girls ' basketball ABOVE : Freshman Karen Tarnow takes a jump shot during a home game. RIGHT: Junior Amy Brunow struggles to out jump a Northside player for the lay-up.

Those who wanted to obtain practical wrestling experience worked out with the Fort Wayne Wrestling Club. Others stayed in shape by lifting weights or running distances. Coach LeBeau quipped, Wrestling demands more conditioning than any other sport here at Concordia. When the seasonal training started, Mr. LeBeau set several primary goals. He accomplished them by sending the experienced individuals to state compe- tition and provided experience for the RIGHT: At the start of the match, Wendell Wal- lace attempts to escape the hold on him by an Elmhurst grappler. freshmen and sophomore wrestlers. The varsity squad ' s dual meet record did well, equalling that of 1978 ' s, 3-7. The conference record finished at 1-7. However, the record did not reflect the team ' s true talent and potential; Con- cordia automatically sacrificed close scoring meets because the lack of par- ticipants in the 119 and 185 weight classes. The Concordia Invitational proved successful for the Cadets; they placed fifth behind four state-ranked teams. Throughout the year there were sev- eral outstanding individual accomplish- ments. Senior Jimmy Erwin won sec- tionals for his fourth straight year, and he ended his season with an overall 2-13 record. Wendell Wallace suddenly de- feated the previously unbeaten Snider opponent, Vernin Martin, in the last ten seconds of the match. Through the leadership displayed by the seniors, and the great amount of maturity shown by the younger wres- tlers, an atmosphere of optimism for success in future seasons became quite evident.

This team of dedicated young women spent from 10 to 12 hours a week devel- oping their skills at practices and dem- onstrating them at meets held after school. For seven straight weeks during the season, they endured two meets per week which proved both strenuous and time-consuming. Several girls suffered injuries, ex- cluding them from participating. The team faced stiff competition from pub- lic schools which had a higher percent- age of experienced gymnasts. Despite these disadvantages, they ended with an overall record of 10-4. As Ms. Weh- meier stated, The girls comprised a very well-balanced team. They all worked together which is success in it- self.

During this time they revised old cheers, sidelines, and mounts, and cre- ated new ones to prepare for the up- coming games. Throughout the year several changes occurred in the squads. In the varsity squad, Jane Miller moved away in De- cember, so the rest of the cheerleaders faced the prospect of rearranging their routines. Buying sweaters, blouses, shoes, socks, and other items became rather expensive for some of the girls. To de- fray costs, the cheerleaders held a car wash and sold cotton candy, hats, mit- tens, scarves, and pins. The profits from these sales were then placed into their designated fund, to be withdrawn when needed. The cheerleaders ' duties included performances for varsity, reserve or freshmen games, and coordinating pep sessions. Reserve cheerleader Lori Meyer stated, Being a cheerleader is a lot of work and a big responsibility. Mrs. Nelson supervised the girls and put forth much effort to help them. She supervised the pep sessions, filled out order forms for uniforms and sale items, helped them make decisions con- cerning all aspects of cheerleading, and showed genuine concern for her girls. Junior Gail Spade stated, She not only was an inspiration to us concerning cheerleading, but she gave us thoughts pertaining to our lives outside of school.

When we put all the pieces together, we end up with a special picture — of you. Everyone at CLHS is important; all of us add something vital and irreplaceable to our school. people people division 11 7 departure creates void A big change in administration oc- curred this year when Pastor Beckmann accepted his call to Valley Lutheran High School in St. Charles, Illinois. A total reorganization plan to keep things rolling and redistribute his jobs as vice principal was necessary. In order to do this, Mr. Parrish and Mr. Breininger dropped two of their classes. Schedul- ing use of facilities, weekly attendance, lunch applications and handling the school keys name a few odd jobs Mr. Parrish took over. In charge of curricu- lum and schedule changes, Mr. Brein- inger worked with Mrs. Buls and Mrs. Nelson on data processing. Mr. Herzog shared the responsibility of Concordia Educational Foundation with Mr. Mur- phy. Taking on extra jobs also meant a tighter schedule for Mr. Brackmann. Fresh registration, summer Drivers Education Program, plus scheduling and maintenance of the school bus pro- vided him with more than enough to handle. As the year progressed, it became ob- vious that the vacant position of vice principal would require much consider- ation. It was not only a matter of find- ing the right replacement, but deter- mining a new composition of the re- sponsibilities involved.

Our main goal this year was to im- prove the quality of the food and put more of it on each plate, commented Barbara Wycoff. The office responsibilities included bookkeeping, finances and a variety of secretarial procedures. Counseling and assisting students with personel difficul- ties, the Lutheran Social Service and speech therapist maintained an inde- pendent relationship with their clients.

I know there ' s something unique about the faculty at Concordia because of dedication seen in their concern for students, commented Mr. Gieschen. For the faculty at Concordia, the completion of the second semester ad- ded another year of experiences to their service here, or for 1 1 teachers, it marked the end of their first year at CLHS.

MIDDLE: Mrs. Anna Jean Retrum: Math 21 yrs. FAR RIGHT: Mr. Donald Reinking: Math 22 yrs. knew each other and maintained many close friendships. The faculty not only provided aca- demic education throughout the year, but also centered their classrooms around Christianity in everyday situa- tions. Mr. Gemmer commented, We all have different opinions and ways of teaching, but still our one common pur- pose was to unite in Christ. Approximately 75% of the teachers spent time away from home and family to coach sports, sponsor clubs, or orga- nize various activities outside of school hours. This time offered teachers the opportunity to get more involved with students outside of the classroom set- ting. Although during the school year of 1978-79 the teachers as a whole did not experience any unique changes from previous years, their dedication and concern for students proved the faculty at Concordia are a unique group of peo- ple. According to Mr. Gieschen, They were unified in the force of Christ ' s love. 122 teachers LEFT: Mr. William Ihssen: English 18 yrs. BELOW: Mr. Jack Massucci: P.E. 20 yrs.

I loved the free feeling of being up above everything else, ex- claimed Miss Wehmeier after her first experience in parakiting. In early October, Mr. Hults offered his physics class the opportunity to par- ticipate in a somewhat unusual experi- ment at lU-PU. One day Mr. Hults just came up to me and asked me if I ' d like to join some students in parakit- ing, said Miss Wehmeier. I didn ' t know anything about it, but I told him I would give it a try. However, she end- ed up the only volunteer that afternoon, with a few guys who courageously of- fered their assistance in the ground controls . The parakite itself is a surplus nylon parachute with 52 slits sewn tightly at the bottom. The parachute catches the air and directs it downward, forcing passenger and kite upward. A half inch nylon rope is attached from the kite to a car or truck to pull it along in the air. Mr. Hults commented, It ' s a clear ex- ample of Newton ' s Third Law and a good physics demonstration that won ' t be forgotten. Mr. Hults has parakited himself for approximately 15 years, and was the second person in the U.S. to ever try it. He gained local and national recogni- tion through all types of media. He presently holds a world record for fly ing 72 stories high in Ohio. Mr. Hults expressed his feeling for the hobby by concluding, It ' s been oceans of fun for me because I like UNUSUAL things.

For the Bible study, the entire faculty was divided into groups of ap- proximately eight, with one teacher serving as discussion leader. Each time there were different discussion leaders. The idea for the faculty scripture study, which was initiated by Mr. Ihs- sen, came to him last summer when he was thinking about problems both stu- dents and teachers at Concordia face. Originally he wanted students to study scripture with the faculty since he would like to see the faculty and their pupils growing together spiritually. According to Mr. Ihssen, When you start with the word of God in the begin- ning, when you start with prayer, it adds a positive element. This was one of the purposes for the faculty study groups, to advance and maintain posi- tive attitudes in the faculty and hope- fully then have that same positive atti- tude reflected in their students. The study groups were also a place to dis- cuss problems that arose during the year. Many faculty members felt that studying scripture brought them closer together as a group and Mr. Ihssen ad- ded, It is hard to really think that the person with whom you have just been praying is somebody who is against you.

Al- though the class as a whole experienced all the traditions that come with being seniors, the individual members of the class created unique memories of last- ing value. Tina Dahling remembers, On my first day of school here at Con- cordia, I wore my green cheerleading skirt from grade school and an ugly pair of blue sandals. I ' m embarrassed now, but at the t ime I thought I looked pretty impressive. As freshmen, many of the class members experienced the same type of ignorance as they found high school a new and different type of learning experience. Janell Knipstein remembers, I used to wear those gold stop sign glasses because everyone had them and they were considered stylish. Over the four years not only did the styles and individuals change, but the seniors were a part of unique changes that involved Concordia. The chapel- auditorium, auxilliary gym, music wing, and radio station were only a few of the special additions to CLHS during their high school years. The annual Home- coming week seemed to get better with each passing year. Gary Gold remem- bers Homecoming his senior year in saying, It was the most embarrassing thing I ' ve ever done when I became a white person on reverse day. Steve Willeke felt similarly and added, Yea, but becoming a black woman, carrying around the half of a watermelon was just as embarrassing. Therefore, when the graduates of ' 79 reflect back on their four years, it will not be that first test in Health and Safe- ty or the grammar units in English that are remembered fondly. It will be the time between classes, after school sporting events, or weekends spent with individual members of the class that made school more than an educational sight. It was the happy and fun times that gave unique and lasting memories to the members of the class of ' 79. Ron Beasley remembers, What a crazy class we were!

During the summer preceding the senior year, students had their senior pictures taken, costing an average of $40. S.A.T. tests proved to be another expense as they meant $8 for each one taken. Often students travelled to var- ious potential colleges which could run anywhere from $10 to $700, depending on the distance of the trip, the accomo- dations, and length of the stay. After making the college choice, applications or entrance fees had to be paid, suggest- ing another $15 to $100. Throughout the school year, class projects such as documentaries or lab experiments constituted spending any- where from $25 to $100, according to the complexity, quality, and quantity of the projects. In the spring seniors could attend the Jr.-Sr. Prom, a $50 to $100 expendi- ture. As graduation approached, an- nouncements had to be paid for which averaged around $25. Costs for diplo- ma, cap and gown were included in the graduation fee. Besides that, gradu- ation consisted of buying new clothes and throwing receptions, both totalling an average of $75. One senior re- marked, Costs were an incentive for me to pass this year; I couldn ' t afford to go through it again. Gary Gerke: Apply music to every- thing in life and you ' ll always keep high.

This year the senior body included three students from abroad, Pichitol Wannasilpa of Bangkok, Thailand, Hiroko Yamamoto from Toyko, Japan and Majid Eskan- dari from Tehran, Iran. Reasons for coming to the United States varied somewhat. While Pichitol wanted to improve his English for fu- ture business plans, Majid felt the po- litical unrest in Tehran detrimental to his studying, and wanted to escape the violence there. The students have to take U.S. His- tory along with Government, giving them a broader viewpoint of the Ameri- can culture. While customs varied be- tween the different foreign students, they all felt American habits unusual to them and had experienced culture shock. Hiroko remarked, The first couple weeks were hard because things are much different but the niceness of the people made everything good.

Ciao! seniors 149 juniors labor thru tests As pamphlets and notices poured in from both local and distant colleges, juniors found this year a time for major decisions. When students attended Higher Education Day, colleges stressed the importance of choosing both their future occupations and schooling. To go to college, students are usually required to take entry examina- tions. In the junior year, the PSAT- NMSQT test prepared them for the SAT test taken in the senior year, and provided the opportunity to win either a National Merit Scholarship or an Achievement Award. The Armed Forces offered a Vocational Aptitude Test which measures a student ' s abili- ties in different careers. Travelling opportunities arose as Ca- dets became upperclassmen. In Octo- ber, students in the U.S. History and government classes could participate in the trip to the nation ' s capital, Wash- ington D.C. By visiting Pompei ' s exhib- it in Chicago and the Louvre Museum art exhibit in Detroit, foreign language students learned more about Latin and French culture. Throughout the year, teachers watched juniors closely and in May they elected two nominees for Girls ' and Boys ' State. This honor gave the students a chance to see another city in Indiana and discover how state and local governments are run. With U.S. History and a semester of religion being the only required courses, juniors had a greater variety of classes to choose from. They had the options of English electives, business courses, and trying out for A Cappella choir. As Chris Goeglein put it, It made the year more interesting by attending classes that I had elected.

A soph- omore class party and also a carnival sponsored by the sophomore class char- acterized first-time events for under- classmen. Class president Tim Ihssen commented, This year we really tried to stress student involvement, especially as far as the sophomores were con- cerned. During homecoming week, the sophomores demonstrated their spirit by winning second place in the float competition. A new program was incorporated, whereby sophomores received their class rings this year instead of waiting until they became juniors. I think most sophomores were pretty excited about this; at least I was, stated sophomore Debbie Anderson.

This often meant get- ting up a little earlier to catch the cor- rect transfer bus. According to sopho- more Steve Bonsib, I really didn ' t have to get up any earlier, I just had to make sure I was on time. Many students used their time in the morning and did a little last-minute studying, or even got a headstart on the following day ' s assignments. Casua l talking or laughing quietly constituted commonplace activity, but occasionally things got a little out of hand. In the opinion of sophomore Jim Bucholz, riding the bus is an experience, to say the least! Some of the more mischievous activi- ties included yelling out the windows at innocent bystanders, throwing pop cans at Cadillacs, or even spraying aerosol tempera paint on other student ' s glass- es. However, these incidents did not happen regularly and were usually the result of the anticipation of school ' s end. As sophomore Cheryl Dixie put it, We got more rowdy toward the begin- ning of summer vacation. RIGHT: Many Concordia students patiently await the arrival of the Public Transportation Company buses.

Class parties, dances and other extracurricu- lar activities gave freshmen a chance to get to know their classmates. Once ini- tiation was over and I got used to walk- ing through the lounge, it was easier to be a part of things than I thought it would be, commented freshmen Dawn Cleveland. The ever present threat of walking into the wrong class or having to eat lunch alone struck fear in the heart of at least one freshmen as he stated, I walked into the wrong class four times in one week. A year full of new experiences and mixed emotions was how newcomers found their first year at Concordia. To Greg Goeglein, being a freshmen meant, A new beginning that was frus- trating as well as rewarding.

Approximately 184 of these students spent one or more of their ele- mentary years in Lutheran grade schools and came to Concordia to con- tinue their religious education. The re- maining group of freshmen came from Fort Wayne Community Schools, area schools, or out-of-state public schools. These 22 students had many different reasons for singling out Concordia as their high school. Word of mouth was a contributing factor as one girl re- marked, I was impressed by what some of my friends from Concordia thought about their school. Their atti- tude and comments showed they had reason to be proud of it. Once the year began, new students formed their own opinions of Concor- dia. In spite of previous feelings ex- public vs. private pressed by other students, one boy felt that certain students tended to be snob- bish towards those who attended non- parochial grade schools. He stated, It seemed that alot of kids from Lutheran elementary schools already knew each other and had established cliques. However, the majority of the stu- dents from public schools found that participation in sports, clubs, or organi- zations made making friends easier.

How was your summer? Welcome back; it ' s another year. I can ' t believe I have homework on the fi rst night of school. This is going to be a long year. Can you believe they ' re dating? You going to the football game tonight? I think I ' ll be sick on initiation day. Who do you think will be on the Homecoming court? I really put it away on Thanksgiving. What did you get for Christmas? Hey, Redskins . . . You Die! We want a hundred. li Who gave you the flowergram? Are you going to Florida for spring vacation? I ' d go but I have to work. Are you going out for cheerleading? What are you wearing to the prom? It seems like everyone has either spring fever or senioritis. Do you know there ' s only 10 days of school left? I can ' t believe we ' re graduating! Why did seniors get out of school early? Have a nice summer. It went so fast. The voices of Concordians will echo in our minds . . . ReHecting the 1978-79 school year, a UNIQUE one at that . . . closing 175 It ' s been a trying year, but one I wouldn ' t have given up. Thanks are due to many people. At the yearbook plant, Mag ' ' Warner traced down headlines soj could finish the table of contents, ; Mr. James Arthur, our yearbook re sentative, proved invaluable by deli ing necessary supplies when we vi e,iii„ nearly out. I will be forever indebted to the hours I put in by returning staff members: Jill | Brueggeman, Tina Dahling, Dawn Bli- I lie, Gail Spade, and especially Carolyn ' sj Mittermaier who stuck by me through 5 all my moods. Lori Schroeder and Jan- ell Knipstein did a marvelous job on the business end of the enterprise. But most of all, my gratitude is extended to Mrs. Linda Schwartz. She was my sounding board, a wealth of creative inspiration, and above all, a patient friend. This year has been worthwhile for me f — full of growing and learning; I hope it has been for you. God bless all of you in your future plans and goals. . .UM.NA.MNSrAF copV photogtap;; ; sectio ditor,coPV ,,..edHor ncWSeo ;t • sec.orS.5 -- • « (.AiloT, C°Vj Gail spade _ _ DeeDceBat V ?eieBectanann ubb 3a ad eton . ,,,;ctant 176 editor ' s thanks
